OK, everyone writes fics about how BB get kidnaped and then get together after they survive. In this, they have already been together for about a month. They get kidnaped, which hits a sore spot for Booth, who doesn't want Bones to get hurt because of him and the fact that they work together. Then things get complicated...
Chapter1:

Bones was sitting with her knees to her chest, pen behind her ear, going over reports, when Booth walked in and sat down next to her.
"Hey, Bones, how are you?" he asked.
"Fine..." she said looking up and giving him a weird look.
"I, ah, was just wondering if you'd come over for dinner tonight... just you me and, ah, Parker?" he asked, trying to sound casual, and sneaking a glance at her from the corner of his eye.
Her head snapped up. "Booth, you know I don't do well with kids!" she said, her voice slightly panicked.
"Bones, it's just Parker, if you can get along with me then you'll do fine with him."
She hesitated. She was always uncomfortable around kids, she never knew what to say to them. But this was Parker, Booth's son. She knew how important his son was to him, and how much he wanted her to bond with Parker.
"Okay..." she said tentatively "but it's the three of us? you'll be there too, right?"
"I promise I won't go anywhere" he said, leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you" he whispered in her ear, before turning away and leaving the room.

Bones stood in front of Booth's door later that night, her hand raised to knock, when a young, high pitched voice yelled out from behind it.
"She's here, she's here!" Parker yelled, throwing open the door and grinning up at her.
"Parker easy, don't give her a heart attack!" Booth called from inside.
"Sorry about that Bones, he had lots of chocolate today at school" Booth said emerging from behind the door.
He stepped aside to let her come in and picked Parker up from the ground.
"The sugar rush usually only lasts for about 20 minutes and then he falls asleep in your arms" Booth said, smiling down at Parker.
Booth put Parker back down and he bolted over to Bones. He grabbed her hand and started to pull her into the next room.
"Come on, Fairly Odd Parents are on!" Parker exclaimed excitedly.
She looked back at Booth, unsure.
"Go ahead Bones, I'll be in there in a second" Booth assured her, moving to the phone to order their food. Bones had found out the hard way that cooking wasn't one of Booth's strong points and they had grown used to ordering in.
She moved into the next room with Parker and sat down on the couch while Parker watched some sort of documentary about the psychological effects of believing that fairies are real.
Booth came in a few minutes later.
"Hey, would you mind watching Parker for a few minutes while I go and get the takeout?" Booth asked.
She looked over at Parker, who was sitting on the floor, watching his show. He already looked like he was going to fall asleep at any given moment.
"Yeah... I guess we'll be okay..." she said slowly, and Booth grinned at her from across the room.
"Parker you be good okay, I'll be back in a minute" Booth said. Parker nodded sleepily back at him.
Bones relaxed back against the pillows on the couch and heard the door slam shut behind Booth.
He wasn't gone more than five seconds before Parker got up, laid down next to her and fell asleep on her shoulder. She looked down at the little boy in surprise. She couldn't believe that he could just fall asleep in the lap of someone he'd only met twice. After a few minutes Bones started to get used to Parker's small form against her's and she relaxed. Exhausted from her long day at work, Bones' eyes started to slip closed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Booth walked through the door and was met with an eerie silence.
"Parker, Bones, I'm back" he said, and was met with more silence.
Concerned now, he dropped the takeout on the table and went into the next room. He stopped dead in the doorway, amazed at what he saw.
Parker was curled up next to Bones, his head on her shoulder. Her chin was resting on the top of his head, one arm wrapped around his small body. Both of them were asleep, their eyes closed, completely relaxed. He stood there for a long time, watching them together. These were the two people he loved more than anything else in the world. The only people he'd die to protect.
After a few more minutes of watching them quietly, he walked to the couch, moved them over, and laid down with both of them curled up against his chest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning they dropped Parker off at school and then headed over to Bones' apartment so that she could shower and change. She hadn't brought a change of clothes because she hadn't exactly planned on falling asleep at Booth's. When they got inside Booth went into her living room to listen to music while she went into her room.
Suddenly she heard a huge bang and Booth yelling. She ran into the next room to find that her door had been forced open. A large, burley man had Booth pinned to the ground, a cloth covering his mouth and nose. She started towards them, when out of nowhere something came crashing down on her head. She collapsed on the ground, the men's laughter was the last thing she heard before everything went black.

Bones woke up with a pounding head and an aching bruise on her shoulder. Wincing she reached up to wipe blood from her eye and realized she had a gash along her hairline. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and she immediately noticed a thin stream of light coming from the floor in the middle of the room. Curious, she got up and started to move towards it. She walked a few steps, then tripped over something soft and warm sprawled across the floor. Even through the darkness she knew who it was
"Booth?" she said, dropping down next to him.
"Booth, wake up!" she said, shaking him, panic slipping into her voice.
He moaned and slowly opened his eyes, blinking rapidly.
"Thank God you're okay" she said, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Where are we?" he asked, turning his head to survey the room.
"I don't know, I think this is some sort of warehouse..." she said, noticing the containers that surrounded them.
Booth sighed, then said "the last thing I remember is someone yelling and something being put over my head... what is that?" he said, pointing to the light.
He started to get up and move towards it, but almost immediately fell back down.
"Easy" Bones said, helping him up.
They walked towards the center of the room to find the source of the light. As they got closer, they realized that it was coming from some sort of window on the ground. It looked like it was made of plexiglass. Looking into it, they saw a large object with glowing writing flashing up from it.
"What does that say?" Booth asked, and Bones moved forward to get a better look.
"They're some sort of number pattern... 10:25:36, 10:25:35, 10:25:34...oh my God, it's a timer"
she said, pressing her ear to the window. She was greeted with a faint ticking noise. She looked up at Booth, her eyes wide.
"Booth, this is a bomb!"

dadada... this my first bones fic, so be kind. I'm going away for Easter so when I come back I'll either have a writers block or another chapter...
So... what did you think of my story? Interesting? Completely out of character? Review and let me know. Wasn't that scene at the end with BB singing so cute?
Oh, and for the people who are now in a panic, no one dies in this fic... but they don't get rescued either... (yeah, I'm sure that made it a lot clearer... you'll just have to keep reading to find out what the heck I'm talking about)
