Chapter 1. A weird weekend and some hope.
Special agent Seeley Booth was worried. It was just a normal Saturday morning in the Booth household. He had his son Parker for the weekend, which meant his recently living in girlfriend, Hannah Burley was spending the weekend up in Chicago visiting her parents. That was the normal status quo since they began living together, so no problem there. What had the Agent in a clear state of confusion was that his son had just plainly told him he hated his girlfriend, which he hadn't even met, while he was having breakfast. The only thing that seemed to placate his son was the mention of the possibility of his partner Doctor Temperance Brennan in his favorite scientific show. That made nothing but to add his previous state of confusion.
Things were in no way the same between him and his partner since they had returned from their travels to opposite sides of the world. She was uncomfortable on that first case, and once Hannah came back to be with him, things had not gotten better, they even got worse after the awkward welcome party, the look on her face when she left after Hannah gave him the rotary phone undoubtedly his partner suggested. Wouldn't it be a symptom that his relationship was doomed if his girlfriend needed to ask his partner for advice about what to buy him? And Bones reaction when they kissed, it was almost as if she was jealous. But that was not possible. Was it? Could she have changed her mind during her travel to the Maluku Islands? The angry glances he has received from Brennan's best friend Angela ever since he had come back and Hannah's presence in his life revealed didn't help, and he was consciously putting as much distance as he could between him and the Jeffersonian team. Anyway, it was Saturday morning and he intended to enjoy his afternoon with his soon until 5pm tomorrow, the dreaded moment when he would have to turn him back to his mother's house.
The weekend went by without any more noticeable events, he returned Parker sound and safe to his mother's house, and Hannah came back shortly after he had returned from Rebecca's house. She wanted some dirty action but he was not really in the mood, so they had an argument, again, and went to sleep mad at each other, which was not good for a couple as his pops had many times told him.
On Monday morning Booth woke up early trying to avoid Hannah at all cost, and went to the Jeffersonian, he was curious about was his partner had decided on the possibility of appearing on the science dude show. He wanted to be back on his son's good graces and if that meant to convince her to appear on the show and let his son attend the filming then he was a man on a mission to do so.
When he arrived at the Jeffersonian he went straight to his partner's office. Greeting her upon his arrival, she hardly acknowledged his presence. When he asked whether she was going to participate on the program or not, she replied it was not his business. He explained he'd like if Parker would be able to attend the filming in case she decided to do it. She said she would think about it, and dismissed him.
The case was soon solved and Brennan finally told him she would appear on the show and that Parker was welcome to attend the filming of the episode, at least some good news to give his son. And maybe a turn for the best in the mess that was his life lately.
A/N Hope you like it, and of course if you want to know how the filming of the science dude program goes, and what Booth, Brennan and Parker, may or may not due afterwards, you know what you gotta do.
