No smut in this one (this is the only one in today's marathon-series that is smut free).
However, Warning: You may die of sappiness overload. You've been warned!

"You're sure you don't mind, Bones?" Booth reached around her and grabbed one of the pancakes from the plate near the stove. She tried to slap at his hand, but he was too fast. And she couldn't help but smile at the satisfied and cocky look on his face.
"You're no match for me, Bones," he muffled through the pancake he'd shoved into his mouth. One of her eyebrows arched, and he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
She placed her hand on his cheek and gently shoved him away, "Of course I don't mind, Booth. I'd be happy to take Parker to school."
"Awesome," Booth tossed her a smile and rubbed Parker's head at the same time. "Buddy, be good for Bones."
"I'm always good, Dad," the boy groaned, and Booth snorted as he rushed around the kitchen, frantically looking for everything he needed for that day.
"Tie. Tie! Where's my tie," his hands nearly flailed as he practically turned a complete circle with his body. Brennan shook her head and stopped him, wrapping the tie around his neck. Booth smiled at her and stood up straight while she tied the knot near his neck. "Thanks, Bones."
"You're welcome," she kissed his chin. "I also made you a lunch."
"Hmmm," he took the paper bag from her. "I suppose it's healthy." He made a face. "Gross. And thanks," he placed a kiss against her lips and turned to find his keys.
"It's not gross, Booth. It's a balanced meal to energize you for your busy day," Brennan insisted as she slowly cut up some small pieces of pancake for her daughter.
"Yeah, yeah…can you believe this, Parker?" he teased.
"It's true, Dad," Parker shrugged a shoulder. "We learned about the food pyramid at school, and my health teacher said that certain foods can provide energy and stuff like that."
"Oh, great!" Booth tossed his hands up in mock disgust. "Both of you now, huh? I'm supposed to be healthy all the time, is that it?" His eyes narrowed on his daughter and he swept in and gave her a sweet kiss on her cute cheeks. "My little princess agrees with Daddy, right?" he crooned. "Come on, baby girl. Who's right? Daddy? Daddy and candy, hmmm? Or Mommy and her yucky vegetables," his voice and face grew disgusted.
"Daddy," the 1 year old responded, not knowing what she was agreeing with.
"See!" Booth stood up with pride. "We agree. How do you like that, Bones?" he taunted with a laugh.
"Bones!" the little girl repeated, and Brennan shook her head and placed her hands on her hips. She laughed and leaned over to kiss her daughter.
"Not you too. You can't call me Bones," she kissed the baby again and laughed when her daughter giggled and patted her face.
"That's right. Only me and you, right, Dad?"
"That's right, Park-o," Booth bumped his fist against his son's outstretched one. "Alright, I gotta go. Bones, I'll see you at the lab after my meetings, and I will see you munchkins later tonight," he kissed both of his children on the cheek and then stood up and pulled Brennan close and pressed a longer kiss against her lips. "You're getting handy around the kitchen here, Bones…" he teased, letting his hand rub over her back. "Breakfast and lunch," he held up the paper bag she'd given him. "You gonna make us supper too?"
"No," Brennan placed her hands on his chest, but didn't shove him away. She turned with a smile toward both children. "Tell your father it's HIS turn to make supper."
"Yeah, Dad…it's your turn." Parker shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "We have a precise schedule."
"Schedule? Jeez," he joked and narrowed his eyes on Brennan. "You turning my son into a squint or something?"
Parker laughed, and then they all laughed when a variation of "Squint" was squealed from a certain adorable baby girl.
"Oh, man…I'm outnumbered," Booth groaned. He kissed Brennan again and pulled her with him toward the garage door. Once there, he kissed her again. "I love you, Bones. And our little squint squad."
She smiled and then practically shoved him out the door. "Go, or you'll be late. And I love you too!" she called after him.
