Summary: This is set a year after Woman in Limbo.

FIRE!

Booth looked at Brennan lying beside him, her eyes tired but strong. Since her mother had been found the two had become closer than they had before. He was there for her more, at her side and when they woke up in his bed together hadn't thought much of it, she had acted like it was the end of the world, but as usual she had come around. He had started to wonder though if she had been right when she said about eating to much Chinese food would make them fat, because she seemed to have a belly starting, but he hadn't, but then again he did go to the gym a lot, It wasn't until she refused to leave the lab he started to worry about her, and for some reason she took a liking for gherkins, but now he knew why...He looked at the baby boy in a pale blue jumper suit sleeping softly between them. He was so small, so venerable, so young and fragile, but he had an ex-sniper as a father and a karate ass kicking mother to protect him.

"What made you keep him bones...I mean you said you didn't want kids..."

"I may be 'cold hearted' booth, but I won't kill a living thing...unless I have to...and besides I was told I couldn't have any"He smiled then he was apologetic. "Plus...you love parker and you hardly see him, now you have one little boy you can see all the time."

She put her hand on his arm as he moved his hand to their sons head.

"Our little boy" he said. "Our Little Oscar"Her hand rested on his, and the three lie in peace. Brennan sat up looking at the cot beside her, and trying not to disturb Booth who had fallen into a slumber picked up Oscar and rocked him in her arms.

"Sleep tight my little angel..." She kissed him on his head and lay him down.

"You know you can be so surprising bones..."He said his eyes closed.

"Really, how?"

"Well you're not the sort of woman who would be seen as a mother..."

"It's in our Dna to protect our young and care for them no matter who you are..."She said snuggling up to him. He wrapped his arms round her.

"Get some sleep Tempe, you look tired." He said soothing her head. "Bones?"

But she was already fast asleep, and so the Booth family slept happily, together.

Brennan awoke to the cry of Oscar. She quickly rose and quietened Oscar.

"Shh. It's ok." She smiled as the face of the little boy looked at her. "Mommy's here."

There was an orange glow coming from the base of the door she walked to the door Oscar in her arms his head rested on her shoulder. She opened the door to the hallway, the house on fire! She slammed the door and Oscar began to cry, waking booth.

"Tempe? What's the matter? Calm down..." Booth said getting up and walking to her side.
"The fire alarms, there not working, the House is on fire!" She replied tears forming in her eyes she held Oscar tight, but he continued to cry.

"He can sense you're scared" Booth said taking him off of her and laying him down. She ran to the window.

"Help us! Please anyone! Call 991! Please!"She cried.

Booth opened the door. "We are getting out of here."

Closing it he ran to their wardrobe and grabbed their box of photos he took them out and stuffed as many as he could into his pockets, which was all of them, he grabbed a blanket, picked up Oscar and draped it over him and took Brennan's hand.

"Trust me." He said. She nodded scared.

Booth kicked the bedroom door down and ran ducking under beam supports and dodging crumbling walls he got them down the stairs and out.

"Stay out here." He handed her Oscar and his jacket. "I need to get parker."

And with that he ran inside. Brennan hugged her baby tightly and watched their home burn. Seconds later she heard parker's terrified voice and saw the little boy run from the house crying his eyes out.

"TEMPE!" he cried as he ran to her. He ran into her side, luckily not the one with Oscar on. The two cried.

"Shh...It's ok...I'm here parker...where's daddy..."

He trembled in her arms the two sat down. Oscar rested in her legs and parker sat on her him in his buzz lightyear pyjamas, Brennan thought the worst, where was booth.The house was starting to colapse...if he wasn't out soon he'd be trapped...Then, he came stumbling out of the house, coughing and his face covered in ash. He walked to them as the rescue pulled up. A shower of water covered the house, but they were safe. Booth fell to his knees in font of her. He lifted her head and she looked into his eyes.

"Don't you ever do that to me again Seely Booth..."She sobbed

"You care do you then?" He joked

"You know damn well I care!" She hugged him tightly.

Booth turned his attention to parker who cuddled into him. Holding him tightly booth sat next to brennan.With an arm round parker and an arm round her he looked at their home. it was gone. All they had worked for, they had only been in it a few mounths because there wasn't enough room for all of them in either of thier appartments. Brennan had one word zooming through her head...Why?...
