Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except Booths family I created them.

Bones sat at her desk tapping away at the keys of her computer. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Booth walk in until he was standing over her with her coat in his hand.

"Dinner time," he said as he pulled her chair away from the computer.

"Hey, I am not finished!" She tried to protest but Booth moved in front of her, hit save and turned back to her.

"No, you promised me dinner," he said as she sighed knowing that she had, and that there was no point trying to fight.

"Fine," she huffed as he pulled her out of her chair and helped her into her coat.

They went to the diner for dinner, Booth was making small talk but Bones knew there was something he wanted to ask her, "So how's your book coming?"

"Good," She took a sip of her coffee, "is their something on your mind Booth?"

"What makes you think there is something on my mind?" She raised one eyebrow and he sighed, "Okay, Bones how would you like to take three weeks off and come home with me, Christmas is coming up and Parker is coming with me and he wants you to come too, he said he hasn't seen you in forever and he misses you." Bones eyes grew twice their normal size and she swallowed again.

"I… I have to work, and I wouldn't want to intrude on your family get together."

"Bones, Parker really wants you to come; I really want you to come." He gave her a nervous smile that Bones just could not say no to.

"Fine," Booth's face lit up like a kid in a candy store.

"You are not going to regret this!" Booth said as his smile grew wider.

Bones shook her head laughing softly, "We'll see about that."

Bones woke early and had a shower. A towel wrapped around her body, she headed to the kitchen to put some coffee on when there was a knock on the door. The clock read 6o'clock.

"Doors open," she called as she headed for her bedroom.

"Bones, what don't you understand about locking your door!?" Booth exclaimed as he enter her apartment.

"I'm just getting dressed there's coffee on so make yourself at home," she ignored his comment and continued getting dressed. She pulled on a pair of figure hugging jeans and a tight fitting blue button down shirt, grabbed her make up bag, moisturizer, socks, boots and brush and headed out to her living room.

"Hi," he said slightly taken back by her appearance. She had no makeup on, her hair was still damp and un-brushed, she was bare foot, and she looked hot! "Looking good" he smiled.

"Good morning," she completely ignored the later part of his greeting. He handed her a travel mug full of coffee.

"You nearly ready?" he asked. She nodded her head taking a large gulp of coffee. She quickly ran her brush through her hair a couple of times before flicking her head forward, Booth chuckled at her as she scooped up her hair into a messy ponytail.

"What?" she looked confused.

"Nothing, continue getting ready, we have to pick up Parker on the way." She pulled on her socks then her boots and put a bit of moisturizer on her hand before rubbing it into her face. She picked up her coffee, and stood up. "Ready"

She grabbed her handbag and went to grab her suitcase but Booth got there first. "I can do it my self," she huffed but he just smiled.

"I know" he replied as he headed out the door; she followed him locking the door on the way out.

Booth opened the passenger's side door for Bones, he helped her in, and he closed the door, and put her suitcase in the trunk with his.

They drove in silence to Rebecca's house. Brennan waited in the car as Booth went to the door.

"Seeley, I've packed all his things in these three bags, clothes in the Thomas one, toys in the Mr. Squiggles one and essentials in the dinosaur one. He has his Game boy and other things to do in the car in his school bag, and…" Rebecca noticed Bones sitting in the car, "what is she doing here?" Booth looked over hi shoulder.

"Bones is coming with us, she was going to be all alone for Christmas, all the squints are going away and she was going to work all holidays so I asked her to come." Booth explained.

Rebecca had been jealous of Bones since the day they met.

"Seeley, I have a right to know who Parker is interacting with."

"Rebecca, it's Bones, I didn't think it'd be a problem, Parker interacts with her all the time."

"Booth I don't want him getting to close to her," Rebecca said but Booth just shook his head, "what if she leaves?"

"What if your boyfriend leaves? Parkers still aloud to get close to him, and he might leave." Booth defended Bones as Rebecca gave a defeated sigh.

"I'll go get him," Rebecca sighed again as she went into the house and a moment later Parker appeared at the door.

"Daddy!" Parker cried running towards Booth. Booth smiled as he picked up his son, kissed cheek

"Hey kid, how are you?" He greeted him. Parker smiled, he looked past his father to the car.

"Dr. Bones!" he chimed fidgeting so his father would put him down, he ran over to the car, and opened the door. "Hi, Dr. Bones" Bones smiled at the little boy.

"Hi Parker how are you?"

"Good, I brought my Game boy, so we can play." Parker said but Bones just looked confused.

"I don't know what that means?" She said as Booth appeared next to Parker.

"Daddy she doesn't know what a Game boy is," Parker said, looking shocked.

"You'll have to show her later then wont you?" Booth laughed. Parker nodded furiously, as Booth helped his son into the back seat of the car dropping his school bag onto the seat next to him and helping him buckle his seat belt. He put the rest of the bags in the trunk they headed off on their long drive.
