Set after Santa in the Slush.

"Hey Bones, glad you could join us."

"Yeah, well, a case isn't totally finished until we come to the diner, right?"
"Sure, Bones…well Parker, what are you going to eat?"
"Um…grilled cheese and ice cream."
"Actually, that sounds good. I think I'll also have that, Parker. What about you Bones?"

"Sure…okay"

"Perfect…we'll take three grilled cheese, and three hot fudge sundaes."

The waitress smiled as she took the menus and wrote down the order.

"So Bones" Parker said, "won't you miss Africa?"

"Hey, Buddy, no Bones isn't going to miss Africa at all, are you Bones?"

"Well, no…I guess I can honestly say I'm not going to miss Africa, but that's because I was never really going…"
"Bones was never going to go to Africa, Parker. She wanted to stay here, and see her family, right Bones?"

"Yes, I decided to stay to see my family."
"And me and Parker, here, right Bones?"

"What? Did Angela say something to you?"
"What? Angela…um…no, I was just teasing you Bones. I know you didn't stay here so you could see us Booth boys."
"Oh…yeah…ha…yeah, I didn't do that."

Booth was surprised by the way she frowned in that way she did when she wasn't sure if someone was telling the whole truth. What he couldn't figure out was whether she thought he'd been lying or if she was thinking about what she said. Luckily the food came before the moment could get more tense.

"This looks great, doesn't it Parker?"

"Yes…I love grilled cheese. Don't you love grilled cheese, Bones?"

"Um…I don't know. I've never had it."
"What? WHAT? You've NEVER had grilled cheese?"

"Um..no…sorry."
"No, no, don't be sorry, Bones. Parker's just shocked. Why don't you try it and see what you think."
"Okay…oh…this is good. This is really good."
"Yeah, Bones…it is good."
"Hey, Bones?"
"Yeah Parker?"

"How's come Dad and I had to bring the Christmas tree to the jail? I thought you were spending time with your family?"

"Parker…that's kind of rude. Bones, I'm sorry."
"No, Booth. It's okay. I don't mind. Parker, the reason I was at the jail is that my dad is in prison, and so if I want to visit him, I have to go there."
"Oh" Parker was silent for a couple of minutes. "Was he arrested?"

"Yessss…Bones, I don't think…"
"Did you arrest him, Dad?"

"Yeah, Parker…I did. Bones I'm sorry."
"It's okay Booth. It's the truth. I'm not mad he asked. Parker do you have another question?"

"Yeah, Bones…does that mean my dad can beat up your dad?"
