Okay, this is the sequel to Elevator Games. Each chapter is actually a different character's POV. Each one is at a different point in their life. It's kind of different, but I got this idea in my head, and, as every writer knows, you gotta do what the voices in your head tell you to do! I hope you like it, but if you don't, let me know, I won't be mad, honest. The first one is a little sad, but don't worry, they're not all like that!

btw, you don't have to have read Elevator Games to understand, but it's a little helpful. Also, I think (although I'm a little biased) that it's a pretty cute fic, so I really want everyone to read it! lol!

Parker - Age 10

Mommy died yesterday. She kissed me, told me she loved me, then said to be good for Daddy and Tempe. I told her I didn't want her to go, and I held on to her real hard, but she went anyway. I didn't cry then, I tried to be brave, like I knew she wanted me to be, but later, in my room at Daddy's, I couldn't help it.

I tried not to let them hear, but somehow Daddy knew, and he came and held me, then later Tempe kissed my tears away. Later, when Matt and Allie were asleep, Daddy came into my room and crawled into bed with me. He held me and he told me how much Mommy loved me, and that she was in heaven now, looking down at me.

That was yesterday. Today, when I woke up, Daddy was still with me. I looked over to the table by my bed and saw the picture of Mommy and me. "Good Morning, Mommy" I whispered softly, careful not to wake Daddy.

I got out of bed and made my way down the hall to Matthew's room. He was still sleeping, curled up under his dinosaur blanket. I thought about how Matthew and me were kinda alike now. His real daddy died before he was born, and now my mommy was gone.

I tiptoed out of his room and continued down the hall, peeking in at Allie. She was 2 now, and she had a big girl bed, but sometimes she snuck out after everyone was asleep. Her pink princess bed was full of dolls and stuffed animals, but I could see her, laying in the middle of everything, clutching the angel teddy bear Daddy had given her when she was born. I wondered if Mommy was an angel now, and I decided I would ask Daddy later when he woke up.

I walked down the stairs carefully. Usually I took them 2 at a time, but today I was too sad. Sometimes Matthew would follow me, trying to do everything I did. Then Tempe would tell me to be careful, that he was only 4, and he might get hurt. Daddy said I needed to be a good example, 'cuz I'm the big brother, but sometimes it's hard.

I trotted through the living room, making my way to the kitchen, where Tempe was sitting by the sliding door, looking out into the backyard. She must have heard me, 'cuz she turned around and held her arms out to me. "Hey, Parker." I ran to her and climbed up onto her lap, like I used to do when I was little.

As she wrapped her arms around me, I noticed the bracelet on her wrist, the one I gave her when she married Daddy. I touched it, tracing the lettters that spelled out 'mom'. "I guess you're the only mom I have now, right Tempe?"

She looked down at me, and brushed my hair back from my face. "She'll always be your mom, Parker, but I'll always be here for you."

I felt the tears again, and I laid my head on her shoulder. I closed my eyes and whispered a prayer for Mommy, hoping that she heard me, and that she was looking down on me, just like Daddy said she was.

6 months later

Sometimes I'm glad I have a brother to play with, and sometimes I just think he's a pain. Today was one of those days. It was going good at first, then he just had to start acting like a baby. I mean, I know he's only 4, but he's gonna be 5 in a couple months! Oh well. I just have to try to be patient, just like Daddy says.

"Parker Seeley Booth! Get down here!"

Uh oh. I hate when she calls me Seeley. I guess she found Matt. It's not my fault! He's the one who wanted to play rodeo. I'm sure Mom will be able to get the knots out of the rope.

BBBBBBBBBB

Okay, hope that wasn't too confusing! Please be honest and let me know what you think. Next up, it's Matthew's turn. btw, didn't know Parker's middle name, but I liked him having Booth's name.
