What is love?

End of chapter one: What is love?

"Parker, I have had time to see that your dad needs some one he can joke with some one who can do the things he likes. Some one that wont have to be in as much danger as I am most of the times on my digs. Hannah is good for your dad. As much as I wish I could be the one with him I know that Hannah is the better woman for your dad." She could still feel him crying into her chest. Pulling his face to look into hers she tried again.

"I love your dad so much it hurts. With each day I find that I love him that much more that's why I know that my not telling him is the best gift I could give him. He's happy for the first time in years your father has a spark in his step and his smile never leaves his face. How can I tell him that I want him now? Parker the best thing we can do is love your father and accept that he loves Hannah. She's a good woman and will make you a great step mom." She kissed the young man on the head and held him a few more minutes before releasing him.

"Does this mean that you will leave us?" Brennan can't say that it hadn't crossed her mind. That with her friends happy and her alone that she didn't want to run and hide some were but she knew she couldn't do that. Booth had stood by her for years as her partner as she went though different men now it was her turn to stand by him.

"No, Parker I'm here this is my home. I am not going to leave. As long as your mom, dad, and Hannah are alright with you coming to the lab your welcome here anytime. But you need to give her a change. Your dad is happy and we should be happy for him." They were so lost in there hug that neither one noticed that the person they were talking about had entered the room.

Chapter two: What to do now?

Booth took a moment to let what he had just heard sink in. He slowly walked out of the room only to reenter it a few minutes later. His voice broke thought the room before his body did this time. He didn't want to let them know what he had heard. It gave him a lot to think about and he needed space away from Brennan to do that. In fact he needed space away from Hannah to but that one he couldn't do right now.

"Hi Brennan, sorry to intruded but we need to be going. Did you see what you came here for buddy?" He asked seeing the tears in his son's eyes.

"Yes, dad can we go home now?" Parker wasn't in the mood to put up a front for too long and if they went to the park to play it would be to long.

Hannah chose that moment to walk into the lab. She had been coming around for the better part of the year and no one was stopping her when she walked in. For some reason Hannah didn't see the tears in his son's or partners eyes as she ran her hands along his arm.

"Seeley, I have a deadline that got changed. I need to head home." She had been doing a lot of PDA's with him since that moment in the dinner when she surprised him. Brennan had placed her eyes on the body in front of her as the soon to be family walked out. Parker noticed that his dad hadn't said goodbye to her. Instead of yelling he ran to her.

"I love you mommy." He whispered in her ear as he hugged her. He felt her kiss his head then he went to join his dad and future step mom.

Brennan's heart ached for the child. She wanted to break the promise she had just made to him. She wanted to flee and not have to face what she knew was coming next.

Her honest words haunted not only her and Parker but Booth as well for the rest of the night. Brennan found that she couldn't work and headed to her office to see if there was a dig she could go on for the time after his wedding. She would need time way to come to terms with the loss. Knowing that it was coming helped her to plan things out but it also made her respect and love Booth that much more.

'How had he done this all these years? How had he sat by and watched her go from one man to another?' She kept repeating to her self as she looked at the lists of the upcoming digs. She was having problems letting go and didn't know were to turn so she turned to her work.

'Why are grown ups so dumb? Why can't dad see she loves him and he's hurting her?' Parker kept asking himself as his dad and Hannah drove back to there apartment.

'How long has she loved me? But is our love enough to stay for ever? I have that with Hannah she loves me and isn't a feared to show it. Should I risk a sure thing for a might be?' Booths mind was racing as he drove them home. Hannah was focused on her now moved deadline and didn't see what was going on around her.

That night Parker wanted to call Bones to see how she was but he didn't. Her words kept telling him to let it go. To be happy for his dad and let Hannah into his life. He had to try if only for Bones. But he wasn't going to like it.

The night came and went and before Booth knew it the time had come that he was going to ask Hannah to be his wife. He had been up and down most of the night. Which when Hannah isn't in bed with him is nothing new. But his mind kept replaying what he had seen and heard.

"I love your dad more and more each day. The best gift I can give him is to let him go. Hannah is the better woman for him."

'Was she right. Was Hannah the better woman for him or was he fooling himself? He had everything he wanted with Hannah she had even done something she had said she wouldn't ever do just to be with him. He couldn't leave her for what might be with Bones. His mind made up he took Hannah and a quiet Parker to look at the evening light leaving the park.

"Hannah you have made me the happiest man on earth for the last year. Will you keep doing that in the for this next year and the years to come? Will you be my wife and Parker's step mom?" When his dad started talking Parker knew what he was doing and it filled him with fear of her answer. He wanted her to say no that she saw that his dad loved Bones.

"Yes Seeley. I will marry you." It hadn't hit Parker as hard before as it did right then his dad didn't love Bones. No matter what happened in the past this woman was his future. Like Bones had told him they had to accept that Hannah is who his father loves and that she loves him as much as he loves her.

Booth was beyond happy. Brennan would find some one and move on like he had. But he wasn't going to let a woman who loved him as much as he loved her go for a might be.

The next day Parker went home and cried himself to sleep. His dad was going to go thought with it. He was going to marry some one else and Bones wasn't going to stop him.
