6. Crucify
"—and I drew a picture of our family to go on the fridge! Oh, and we learnt why we celebrate Easter!"
"You mean there's a reason why we get chocolate eggs?!" Booth gasped dramatically, smiling over at Brennan when their daughter giggled as they playfully swung her between them.
"Daddy!" Christine laughed, grinning up at her father, "We celebrate Easter because Jesus came back alive after he was cruci— cruci—"
"Crucified." Brennan smiled, grinning at the look of awe on Booth's face as his daughter recited her knowledge on Jesus and his crucifixion.
"—and people give out chocolate eggs 'cause lots of people gave it up for forty days and on Easter they can eat it again!"
"Well, I think someone deserves a chocolate egg after learning all of that in one day! What do you think, Bones?"
"After dinner."
"Alrighty! Race you to the swings, baby!"
Brennan laughed as Booth took of running, their daughter hesitating for a moment to whisper in her mother's ear before darting after her father, leaving Brennan watching them with a smile.
"Mommy, I learnt about Easter at Church on Sunday too, but don't tell Daddy 'cause I want a chocolate egg!"
