Hello. New Story. I own nothing. Enjoy!
"We're going to need Zach, Booth," Cam said staring at me.
"So you want me to go get him?" I asked slowly.
"Yes," she said nodding, "We can get some things done with the body while you get him."
"Fine," I said rolling my eyes, "But you owe me."
"Put it on my tab," she said smiling happily.
I walked out of the lab and down to my car. It wasn't that I hated Zach or anything, but I didn't really like him. He made me feel stupid every time I talked with him.
Okay, so maybe I liked him a little. That was only physically though. Intellectually, he was way out of my league. I couldn't provide him with the type of conversation he needed.
I didn't want to have a relationship knowing that he didn't get everything he needed from me. If I was with someone I wanted to be there for everything. With Zach, I couldn't do that.
Pulling up in front of Zach's place I looked around. Hodgins said that Zach moved out of his place a few months ago. This was the first time that I was able to see his new house.
The place was nice. Two stories with a big front yard and a huge fence. I had no clue why Zach would need all of this room. He didn't have that much stuff. This place was for more then one person.
Shaking my head I walked up the porch and rang the doorbell. There was noise from inside. Almost like little feet were running towards the door. The door opened slowly revealing two twin boys.
"Who are you?" one of the boys asked glaring at him.
"Special Agent Seeley Booth," I said staring down at them.
"Badge," he said holding his hand out.
"Do you work with Daddy?" the other boy said as I handed my badge over.
"Who's your Dad?" I asked slowly.
"You tell us Agent Booth," the other boy said staring at my badge.
"Shut up Gregory," one said rolling his eyes, "I'm Sebastien Addy. This is my brother Gregory Addy."
"Tell him our life story," Gregory said handing my badge back.
"Daddy," Sebastien yelled inside the house.
"What?" Zach yelled back.
"Special Agent Seeley Booth is at the front door," Gregory said his eyes never leaving mine, "Should I slam the door in his face?"
"Gregory," Zach said walking up to us, "That's enough. Go clean up your toys."
"Seb doesn't have to," Gregory said angrily.
"Seb didn't break the lamp in the living room," Zach said calmly, "Now enough of your attitude. Now go."
"I'll help you Greg," Seb said grabbing Gregory's hand and smiling.
"Thanks," Greg said smiling back slightly.
Greg and Seb walked out of the door way and into what I guessed was the living room. I looked up at Zach and saw him blushing slightly. He was wearing a simple black t-shirt with dark wash jeans. I had to admit that he looked even hotter then usual.
"Come in Booth," Zach said softly.
"Thanks," I said nodding.
"I hope you don't mind," he said leading me into the kitchen, "I'm making dinner for the twins."
"Not at all," I said smiling, "What are you making?"
"Chicken Pot Pie for Greg and I and fruit salad for Seb," he said putting the pot pies in the oven, "Would you like some?"
"I wouldn't want to put you out," I said shaking my head.
"It's no problem," he said instantly, "I cut too much for the pot pies anyway."
"Thank you," I said as he put another together, "Do you need any help?"
"I just need to cut up the fruit," he said calmly.
"I'll help," I said picking up a knife, "Just tell me the fruit.
"All the fruit on the third shelf in the refrigerator," he said putting my pot pie in the oven, "Why are you here?"
"We need you at work," I said sighing.
"Oh," he said looking into the living room.
I followed his eyes and saw Seb and Greg picking up toys and books. Greg kept rolling his eyes, but Seb was talking very calmly. Looking back at Zach I saw him smiling happily.
"Seb's a lot calmer then Greg," Zach said in explanation, "They are both brilliant, but that doesn't really matter to either of them. They're good kids."
"They sound it," I said smiling at him.
"Would you like to meet them?" he asked hopefully.
"Sure," I said nodding.
Zach and I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Seb and Greg barely acted like we were there at all. Once they were done cleaning they sat down on the floor in front of us.
"Dad," Greg said looking down, "Sorry about how I was acting."
"I forgive you," Zach said smiling, "Just don't do it again."
"Okay," he said smiling back.
"So," Seb said looking at him, "Intro time?"
"Yes," Zach said laughing, "This is one of the people I work with. Special Agent Seeley Booth. Booth, these are my sons Gregory and Sebastien."
"Nice to meet you," I said nodding to them.
"You didn't know about us, did you?" Seb asked sighing.
"No," I said softly.
"Didn't think so," Seb said standing up and walking out of the room quickly.
"Seb," Zach said following him.
I looked down at Greg and saw him shaking his head. Greg and I sat there in silence for awhile. I didn't know what I was supposed to say to the small boy, but the silence was killing me.
"Seb hates that no one knows about us," Greg said softly, "He doesn't understand that Dad keeps us a secret because he doesn't know what would happen if he told."
"Yeah," I said nodding, "How old are you two?"
"Six," he said staring at me.
"I have a son who's eight," I said smiling.
"Maybe we can meet him?" he asked hopefully.
"I'm sure Parker would like that," I said moving to sit on the floor with him, "We'll have to ask your Dad."
"Booth," Zach said walking in with Seb, "Can you help me in the kitchen?"
"Sure," I said standing up.
Seb walked over to the corner and sat down. I caught a glimpse of his face and saw tear streaks. Greg must have seen too because he was by Seb a second after he sat down.
Once we were in the kitchen Zach leant against the counter and hugged himself. Tears were falling from his eyes as well. Walking closer I wrapped him in a hug and pulled him close to me.
I help Zach while he cried. After a few minutes he pulled away and wiped the tears away. To me it looked like his heart was breaking where he stood. I never wanted to see that look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry," Zach said running a hand through his hair, "I just hate seeing my son like that. He's so hurt. I shouldn't have kept them hidden from you all."
"Why did you then?" I asked slowly.
"Because of what happened with Parker and the Grave Digger," he said staring at me, "I couldn't handle if that was one of my sons. I'm not that strong."
"You'll be surprised what happens when you're with your kids," I said smiling, "Come on. Let's get the food done and eat."
"No," he said shaking his head, "We're bringing the food with us."
"With us where?" I asked confused.
"To the Jeffersonian," he said cutting up fruit quickly, "I'm not hiding my kids from them anymore."
"Okay," I said grabbing a knife, "We should hurry then."
Zach smiled happily at me before going back to cutting. When the fruit was done he put it in a bowl and covered it. Then he got the potpies and wrapped them up as quickly as he could.
"Come on you two," Zach said opening the front door, "We have places to be and people to see."
"Are you serious Daddy?" Seb asked staring at him.
"Of course I am," he said hugging Seb, "I shouldn't have hidden you two. I just wasn't ready to share you with the world yet."
"I'm sorry I made you sad," he said looking down.
"Shh," Zach said instantly, "That doesn't matter anymore. Now, follow Booth and get in the car."
"It's a SUV," Greg said smirking.
"Go," Zach said laughing.
With a laugh I showed Seb and Greg to the car and helped them in. Seb looked a lot happier now and so did Zach. Zach was a great Dad to these two boys. I had never seen so much emotion from Zach as I did today. My heart ached just seeing how Zach was affected. I was falling for this boy hard.
