Thank you everyone for reading my stories. This is a companion piece to my two other stories, Music, and Commercials, but you don't need to have read them to understand this one. This story is a little different than my others, because it will include various moments. It is also not a one-shot, because I am having a different chapter for each moment. I hope you enjoy this one! The first chapter is Parker.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones. I do not own Bones. Apparently if I keep saying that, the delusion goes away…
TOPIC: SIBLINGS
Special Agent Seeley Booth looked at his son hopefully. He was more terrified right now, at this moment, then he had ever been in his entire life. He desperately wanted to know his son's reaction to the news he'd just been given, but Parker just looked at him quietly. Beside him, Bones reached, in an attempt to get Parker to react.
"You and Bones….Bones is…. Dad… She…. I am… Bones is pregnant?" Parker finally choked out.
Booth looked at worriedly. "Yes."
"I'm going to be a big brother?"
This time, Bones answered. "Yes."
Parker smiled, and so did Booth. His son was happy! That was good. He was so worried that Parker would be upset.
"You aren't upset? You're fine with it?" Booth wanted to be sure of how his son felt about his new half- sibling.
"Well, yeah. I'm just surprised it took you guys this long." Parker laughed at his father's shocked face.
"You are a very opinionated eleven year old."
"I thought the entire point of this lunch was for my opinion." Parker replied rationally.
His father laughed. "You're spending way too much time with Bones."
Both son and girlfriend glared at him. Girlfriend slapping his arm, and son laughing. The little family settled into a comfortable conversation when, Parker seemed to think of something, and the smile slid off of his face.
"Hey, Bub," Booth asked, concerned, "What's wrong?"
Parker glanced down. "Will I be allowed to see it? The baby?"
"Of course," his father replied, "why wouldn't you?"
"It's just… well… I don't get to see you a lot, only every other weekend. I won't really be able to see the baby. I won't get to be its big brother." Parker sighed as he looked down at his plate.
"We'll let you see the baby whenever you want, bub. But, if you want, I can talk to your mom about being allowed to see me more."
Parker smiled, his apprehensions relieved, for now. Bones smiled across the table at him.
"Parker, you are going to be the best big brother ever."
With that, Parker knew for sure that everything was going to be fine. He was going to have a younger sibling. If it was a boy, he could teach him sports, and about girls. If it was a girl, it would be his job to protect her from the world. And to embarrass her in front of potential future boyfriends... if his dad didn't shoot them first. He smiled at the very thought of all of it. It was perfect.
So, how was it? The next chapter is going to be Parker and Grace's reactions when they are told that B&B are going to adopt someone they know very well... And remember... please review... I feed on your reviews (just don't review after midnight, or I will no longer be cute and fluffy. ;)), and I really don't want to become one of those annoying authors who hold their stories hostage until they receive a review. I don't care what you say in the review, I just want to know that people are reading my stories.
