A/N: Here is the next chapter, it's a lot longer than the first one but I don't think all my chapters will become this long. I apologise if you find Brennan OOC but she's hard to write and I'm still working on my English vocabulary.
I hope this chapter will explain a little bit more about where I want to go with this, maybe not. I really don't know if everything is clear because to me it is but maybe not to you. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
About Brennans situation, I don't know if it's possible in America but in Belgium you used to be able to stay with a few students at someones house if you had to go to college far away from home.
Thank you for those who reviewed, favourited or followed my story. It means a lot to me and I'll try to not dissapoint you.

Disclaimer: I don't own bones, or the characters I'm writing.

Two hours later she was woken by loud crying. She went downstairs to see what was going on and found Hank Booth with a little boy, around one year old with curly blond hair, in his arms. When Hank heard footsteps he looked up at Temperance and smiled at her. 'This is Parker Booth, my great-grandson.'

At first Brennan didn't know how to react. So she just smiled nervously. She wasn't very good with kids, that was clear when she first met her younger foster brother Lance. They didn't went off well but it got better with the time.
But a baby, that's something totally aside from a six-year-old who's addicted to the Smurfs.

At that moment she thought it was best to say something instead of just staring at… What was his name again, Carter? 'You have a very cute great-grandson.' That's what was being said about babies right? You couldn't do anything wrong with calling them cute.

'Yes, he takes a lot after his father, Seeley, my eldest grandson. The blond curls are the only thing he inherited from his mother,' Hank said.

At that moment the doorbell rang. 'Oh, I'll get it, could you take over for a second?' Hank asked Brennan. He didn't wait for her response, he just handed her the boy and went for the door. There she stood dumbstruck with a little boy in her arms.

When Parker realized he wasn't held by his great-grandfather anymore he started to wriggle in Brennans arms. She tried to stop him by holding him tighter to her but that wasn't a good idea. The squirming went on and she became hopeless. If he doesn't stop what he's doing I'm going to let him fall.

At that moment she could only thing of one thing to do and she tried to shush him by singing a song. She'd seen her foster mom do it with Lance after he was woken from his sleep by a nightmare, she 'd always sing a song and he'd calm down immediately.

It was having the same effect on… She really needed to ask his name again. When she was sporting that thought she heard footsteps down the hall and Hank came back into the living room followed by a young men with short curly hair, a little beard and big blue eyes.

'Temperance this is Jack Hodgins, he'll be staying here too over the year. He's been doing that for two years now and he'll be able to guide you around the city if you want him to, right Jack?'

'Yes, of course, it would be my pleasure,' he answered with a smile.

'Jack, this is Temperance Brennan, she'll be studying… What was it again, dear?'

'Anthropology,' she answered.

'Right anthropology, too many syllables,' Hank smiled.

After being introduced to Jack and Parker Temperance helped Hank with dinner. He'd told her multiple times he could handle it on his own but she insisted.

While Tempe and Hank were preparing dinner, Jack was playing with Parker. He hadn't seen him for almost two months but the little guy still remembered him.

'So, at what time does his mother pick him up?' Brennan asked Hank.

'I'm afraid she won't be picking him up,' Hank said.

'Ow,' Brennan was surprised and didn't know how to react the news she just heard.

Hank saw the unsecure look on her face and tried to reassure her. 'It's a complicated situation, Seeley and Parker's mother had a bad break-up. She left him with the boy and then took off with someone else.'

'I'm sorry to hear that,' Temperance said, not sure of what to say.

'It's not your fault, dear. You have nothing to be sorry about. Sometimes things have to happen for a reason, I believe this happened for a reason too. Seeley and Rebecca were never meant to be, my grandson only realized that a little too late.'

'Where's your grandson now?' she asked, she didn't want to hear him out but curiosity was just in her nature.

'He's training to become an FBI agent. He dropped out of college before graduating and wants to be able to give his little boy a future,' Hank said. There was a time he wasn't too proud of his grandson but Seeley was changing since Parker's birth, changing in a good way. His grandson was on his way of becoming a better man and Hank Booth was happy for him.

'And what about your other grandson, Jared?' Brennan asked. She wasn't good with people and reading them but she could see the man enjoyed talking about his family.

'Jared is the opposite of Seeley. They're both good at making mistakes in life but Seeley will admit them, Jared is very stubborn. He's studying criminology in New York now. His teachers had told him to study something else because majoring criminology is too difficult for him, but he did it anyway. Right now he's doing his first year again because he only passed four out of twelve exams. And he was still able to say that it wasn't his fault he didn't pass. But that's Jared,' Hank said, thinking back of his youngest grandson.

'I'm pretty sure he isn't the only one to make that sort of mistakes,' Temperance smiled, thinking of her brother. Russ had also been stubborn when it was about admitting things he didn't do right, and especially when he had to admit that his little sister did things better than him. She missed those days but it was a waste of time to think back about them. Mourning over the past was only slowing her down, her parents and brother had left her and that was that.

Hank smiled back at Tempe and they finished preparing dinner in comfortable silence. At dinner the three of them talked some more. Parker was in his highchair and kept looking at Temperance the whole time. Hank said it was because he wasn't used to having female company around and Jack made a comment that that was about to change.

After dinner Brennan went upstairs to unpack her stuff. She gave everything she brought with her a place in her new room and bathroom and then prepared to take a shower. She got her own bathroom because Hank thought she might not want to share one with Jack and him, something she was grateful for.

When she went downstairs again after her shower she found the two men on the couch, watching a movie she had never seen before. She had heard about James Bond before but never saw one of his movies. Hank and Jack encouraged her to sit down with her and she ended up watching the whole movie with them.

Two weeks went by fast and she was adjusting just fine to her new home. It didn't feel like a real home yet, but she knew Hank was trying and he was a very nice man. She could imagine why the Sweets were friends with him. They were a lot alike, maybe that's why she felt so soon at ease around him.

Jack was also very nice, he wasn't as socially awkward as Temperance was but they were both science geeks. They shared the same interests and she learned that he was majoring in entomology.

Tomorrow would be Monday, her first day at college. Jack had promised her to show her around a bit, but she was still nervous. She didn't really know what to expect, and meeting new people was always something that Temperance didn't really enjoy.

After playing with Parker for a while to distract her, she saw he had difficulties keeping his eyes open and she said she'd put him to bed.

Her first encounter with Parker didn't go very well but the boy was adjusting to her now and so was she. Their playtime together existed of him pointing to his toys, her handing him the toy and him throwing it away. Sometimes she really didn't understand kids but Parker was enjoying himself that way.

When she was sure Parker was asleep in his bed she went downstairs again to join the men on the couch for their new weekly movie night. This time they decided to watch a movie about Indiana Jones. Tempe got a little annoyed with the historical inaccuracies she found in the movie, but still succeeded to enjoy herself.

As the movie was over, she decided to go to bed. Tomorrow would be a big day and she wanted to be fully rested.

It took her a while before she dozed off, but she did eventually. This time she wasn't just sleeping, she was dreaming. Something she hadn't done in a while, but she was happy to be doing.

PART II

Booth's flight had just landed and there was only one place he wanted to be right now, home, where his family was.

He'd been training in Quantico for almost six months now and when he heard that he would get two weeks off he immediately made sure he could take the first flight home.

Leaving Parker with his grandfather was not what Seeley wanted. He wanted to be there for his son at every moment in his life ever since Rebecca had left him and Parker. If his boy had to grow up with one parent, he shouldn't suffer from any shortcomings. That's why he decided to get out of the army and join the FBI.

Something he hadn't thought through very well because he still ended up being away from Parker. Only this way, there wasn't the risk of never returning home.

He left the airport building saw the cab he arranged to pick him up. He greeted the cabbie, let him put his luggage into the trunk and gave him his pops' address.

Driving through the city by night always made Seeley think. The lights gave him an indescribable feeling. It made him think of him a few years ago, going out every night. Playing pool until the early morning hours. Those were the good times, but he knew better now. He had a responsibility and if it hadn't been for his gambling issue, he and Rebecca would still be together and Parker wouldn't have to grow up without knowing his mother.

Rebecca, she left him for someone else. Someone who was serious about life, who had a job and wanted to use a part of his money to help her pay for college. Unlike Seeley, who was trying to win the money by gambling but lost all they had and was desperately trying to win it back. They always fought and when she found out she was pregnant, she thought Seeley would change. But he didn't, or not in the way she wanted him to. He quit college and joined the army, that way he would make some money, but he wouldn't be there during her pregnancy. When he wasn't there during Parkers birth she knew their relationship was doomed and she started to search for someone else while Seeley was still on duty. When he came back, he was shocked by what he'd seen and wanted to change his life. He wanted to get serious with Rebecca and settle down. The first place he went to when he was back on American ground was a jewellery store to buy a ring with the little money he had at the moment. When he came home that day around noon he was surprised to find Rebecca at home, but it didn't matter. The sooner he 'd seen her, the sooner he'd be able to ask her. He burst through the door and found her at the table, he walked up to her, went down on one knee and proposed to her. When she didn't say anything and her gaze shifted to something behind him he saw Tim, his best friend, in his robe, freshly out of the shower. At first he didn't realize what was going on but then it crashed down on him. Rebecca started to apologize and beg him for understanding but he was too furious. He walked out of the house with the hope to never see any of them again.

Too deep in thought, he hadn't realized that the cab had stopped in front of his pops' house. He paid the driver, took his luggage and hoped his grandfather still kept the spare key hidden beneath the planter on the porch.

It seemed to be Seeley's lucky day, or night. He let himself in and tried to be as quiet as possible. He left his luggage in the hallway and sneaked upstairs, leading himself into Parkers room. He watched his son sleeping peacefully. After a moment of just looking at him he got a glimpse of the time on the clock that hung on the wall. He decided that it was time for him to go to bed too. Afraid to wake Parker, he went to his own bedroom as silently as possible.

When he entered his old room it felt odd to be there, something was off but he didn't know what. Of course he knew the walls were painted and his stuff was moved to the attic, there was something else about the room that he couldn't get his mind around. Too tired to keep thinking he just went to bed and settled in.

The moment he closed his eyes he was gone. Gone into a world of happy memories and beautiful places.

That's it for chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed!

Any mistake made is mine and feel free to point it out.

Suggestions are still welcome and I'm working on chapter 3.
