Disclaimer: I don't own Bones.
She woke up the next morning, feeling oddly refreshed and happy.
She started to swing her legs off her bed to go see if Mollie was up when she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist.
That's when everything came back. Leaving Mollie with Angela while she rode with Cullen to a remote building fifty miles from her apartment. Picking a lock after hearing yelling. Hugging Booth like there was no tomorrow. She remembered everything and she smiled.
"Whatcha smiling for Bones?" He asked.
Startled, she began to blush, not realizing she had been watched.
"Why shouldn't I be smiling?" She smiled at him, then buried her head into his chest.
He tightened his grip on her waist and kissed the top of her head.
"Ahh, just curious Bones." He kissed her head again and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"The munchkin is coming in five, four, three, two..."
"Daddy!" Mollie ran into the room and climbed onto her parents; bed. She snuggled into her dad's chest.
"Hey pumpkin." Mollie picked up her head and gave her father the famous Booth charm smile.
"Oh so she's got my smile." Booth grinned at Brennan.
"Well Mollie has seemed to inherit a lot of your characteristics. She has your brown eyes, your smile, your-"
She was silenced by a kiss. At first, she was tense , having not expecting it and not experiencing it for years, then she melted into the kiss.
"Mommy, that's ewwwy." Booth and Brennan pulled away and looked at their daughter.
Her eyes were scrunched up the way her mom's usually were when she was studying a bone and her mouth was in a grimace. They laughed.
"You mean this." Booth leaned in and kissed Brennan on the head.
"Or this." He kissed her again, but this time on the lips. They didn't pull apart until there were a pair of tiny arms pushing them apart.
"THAT daddy. THAT'S ewwwy." They pulled apart and turned toward their daughter. She now sat in the middle of their bed, arms crossed and pouting.
"Does Mollie want some hugs and kisses?" She looked at her father and just sat there with her arms crossed.
"Yes." Booth picked her up and set her in his lap. Bones laid her head on his shoulder and sat quietly. Booth kissed Mollie on the cheek then turned his head to kiss Bones on the head.
"Hug daddy." Mollie turned around and held out her arms. Booth pulled Mollie into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"I love you Mollie."
"I love you too daddy." Booth kissed her forehead again and gave her a squeeze.
"Daddy missed you princess."
"I missed you too daddy."
Booth squeezed Mollie again and then laid her down on the bed. He blew a raspberry into her stomach and she started to giggle. He turned to ask Bones to help him tickle Mollie when he noticed she was gone.
He stood up from the bed and bent down to pick Mollie up and put her on his hip.
"Bones?" He walked towards the bathroom. He knocked and when he got no answer he opened the door.
"Bones?" He peeked in and saw no one in the bathroom.
"Daddy where's mommy?" Mollie turned towards Booth with a frown on her face.
"I don't know Mols. Lets go see if she's in the living room." Booth and Mollie walked out of the bedroom towards the living room.
"Bones?" He looked around and didn't see her.
"Temperance," he called through the aparment. He was met by the echo of his own voice. He walked down the hall that led to Mollie's room to make sure that she wasn't there.
He set Mollie down and she ran back towards the living room. Booth poked his head in Mollie's room and saw nothing.
"DADDY!" Mollie screamed. Booth hurridly shut the door and ran towards the kitchen.
"What is it Mols?" She was sitting at the table pointing at a piece of paper that sat in the middle.
He picked the paper up and began reading the neat cursive writing.
'Booth,
Went to the the store to pick up some things for breakfast. Mollie likes to have a orange juice in a sippy cup. If there's no more orange juice give her apple juice. Don't give her milk, she's lactose-intolerant. Be back in a few minutes.
-Bones'
He smiled at the fact that she wrote down his nickname for her instead of her first or last name.
"Okay Mols, guess it's just you and me for a few." Mollie looked up at her father and frowned.
"I firsty."
"Okay Mols, I'll get you a drink once I find where mommy puts your sippy cups." He opened cupboard after cupboard to realize that he couldn't find them.
"Okay Mollie, do you know where mommy puts your sippy's?"
She nodded and crawled down from her chair. She walked over to the cupboard to the right of the fridge, the same one that Booth had been reaching for when Bones' fridge blew up, and pointed.
"I already looked in there princess there aren't any." Mollie frowned and walked over to the dishwasher. She opened it up and looked at her father. Siting on the top shelf were all of Mollie's sippy cups and their tops.
"Oh be quiet you. You're just like your mother, always right."
"You better believe it." Bones walked in and set the two bags of groceries she had just gotten on the table.
"Booth have you given Mollie her orange juice yet?" Mollie ran over to her mother and shook her head.
"Hey it's not my fault." He held his hands up in surrender. "I just found her sippy cups." Bones walked over to Booth, pulled the sippy cup and cover out of his hands and started pouring orange juice for Mollie.
"Here you go sweetheart." Mollie grabbed the cup and started drinking. "You can go watch tv now if you want Mols."
Mollie walked out of the kitchen towards the living room.
"You got a tv? Now I KNOW I've been gone too long." He kissed her and pulled her close. "Just so you know, you are NEVER leaving my sight." He said.
"Good, because I never want to be out of it." He kissed her again and then turned her around so her back was to his stomach.
"So what's for breakfast because I'm starving."
"I was thinking eggs for Mollie and french toast for us?" Booth's stomach growled in anticipation.
"Sounds amazing. I'll help." He let go of her and pulled out groceries while she took out two pans, which began a very interesting day.
