A/N: I wanted to thank everyone for reviewing my story. It means a lot to me that people like my story. The reviews also encourage me to write so hopefully I will get the chapters up faster. This is kind of a filler chapter, not much action, but necessary to the story.
Chapter 2
On the ramp to get on the plane, Parker had announced that he would be the one with the window seat because he said he liked looking out as the plane lifted off. Booth, Temperance, and Parker were still hand in hand finally letting go when they reached their seats.
Once they reached their seats Parker slid in first followed by Bones and then Booth. They sat down waiting impatiently for the plane to lift off. "Hey Tempe, have you ever been to Disney World?" Parker asked.
"No, Parker I haven't. When I was a little girl my family just never got around to going, but I always wanted to." Bones explained hoping Parker wouldn't ask more questions about her childhood.
"I went last year with my mommy, it was really fun. The couple of days I spent with Daddy this year were fun too, but then we had to leave to get you. I can't wait until we get back there so I can ride more rides." Parker said with so much enthusiasm Bones could not help but smile.
"Attention passengers, after a few minor delays we are ready to lift off." Said the voice over the loudspeaker.
Parker then turned his head to look out the window to see the plane taxi towards the runway. The plane stopped and then started moving and gained speed quickly and soon it lifted off the ground.
"Wow Daddy, Tempe look." Parker said excitedly "You can see the whole city." Both Booth and Bones looked out the window down at the city of Washington D.C. until they were so high they couldn't tell what was what anymore.
Parker was still looking out the window, Booth was reading the packets they put in the pockets in front of you, and Bones was reading a nonfiction novel. After about 20 minutes the televisions started to play a movie. Parker turned his head away from the window and towards the television and said "Daddy look, they're playing Toy Story, my favorite movie!"
"I know Buddy, let's watch it and explain it to Bones because I doubt she has ever seen it" Booth said smiling and tucking the packets back in the folder.
"Tempe, you never saw Toy Story?" Parker asked amazed.
"Nope." Bones said looking up from her book.
"Well Bones we are about to change that, so put that educational scientific book away and get ready to watch one of the greatest kids movies of all times." Booth said still astonished over the fact of how socially deprived she is.
About a half hour into the movie Parker was completely ensconced with it, making sure to tell Bones when a funny part was coming up. "Booth" Bones whispered to her partner "How is it that the toys can talk and walk?"
"It's a kids movie Bones, just watch it" Booth said, his eyes never leaving the television.
"But-" Bones began to say before Booth cut her off.
"No buts Bones, just enjoy the movie." He said getting annoyed
Bones watched the movie contently, until she began to get tired. When she noticed how tired she was, she look at her watch and realized that she hasn't slept in over 24 hours. So she undid her seatbelt, and moved the seat back to make it more like a bed, and took her jacket and made it into a pillow and tried to take a short nap before the plane landed.
About an hour later, the movie ended and Parker looked over at Bones and said "Daddy look, Tempe is sleeping."
"Yeah." He said, looking at Bones noticing how peaceful she looked while she slept. Her face that always looked so tense and serious looked peaceful while she slept. "Parker we need to be quiet so Bones can get some sleep. She is very tired; she always works too much,"
"Why does she work too much, doesn't she have a family she wants to go home to." Parker asked.
"No, Bones lives by herself. She doesn't have a family to go home to." Booth explained hoping Parker would end it there so he didn't have to go more in-depth about Bones family.
"That's sad" Parker said looking at Bones "Everyone should have a family. Can Tempe belong to our family, so she won't be alone?"
"I don't know about being part of our family, that is a little too much. But how about when you visit me and we do things together, Bones comes with us." Booth said.
"Okay, I like spending time with Bones she is nicer to me then Tessa ever was." Parker said
Booth was amazed about how much Parker was becoming attached to Bones and he hoped that after this trip she wouldn't mind spending time with them.
"Attention all passengers, we are being our descent into Orlando, Florida. Please fasten your seatbelt, put your seats all the way forward, and lock your trays in the upright position. Thank you for flying today and hope you fly again." said the voice over the loudspeaker.
As much as he hated doing it he knew he had to wake Bones up. "Hey Bones." He said in a gentile voice. "You have to wake up, the plane is landing we are almost in Florida"
"Oh, okay." She said in a somewhat dazed voice as she sat up and put her seatbelt back on and put her seat forward. "What are we doing once we land?"
"Well it is getting kind of late and we have all had a long day. So we are just going to go to the hotel, get some food, and then go to bed. We can work on the case in the morning." Explained Booth
"Okay, that sounds good. By the way, what are you going to do with Parker while we work on the case?" questioned Bones.
"I'm going to leave him with another FBI agent and he can take Parker around Disney World, so he can have a good time while we work." Booth explained.
"That stinks for him. He wanted to go to Disney World to spend time with you and now he won't get to see you. He'll just be stuck with an FBI agent he doesn't even know." Bones said with a sad look on her face.
"I know, that is why even though the case is important we need to take at least a couple of hours off each day to spend with Parker. I believe that as long as he knows that we are going to spend some time with him each day he will be content with going around with the FBI agent." Booth said clearly unhappy that his vacation with parker was interrupted by a case.
"Booth, you spend as much time with Parker as you can. I can do some work without you and it is more important that you spend quality time with your son." Bones said.
"Bones, we work together okay. We will do most of the work in the morning and we'll met up with Parker and the FBI agent around 2:00 PM and spend the rest of the day with him until he goes to sleep. After he goes to sleep we can do some more work in the room. I don't want you to spend all day working while I am having fun. Alright?" Booth explained.
"But don't you want to spend time with Parker alone?" asked Bones.
"Why don't we ask Parker?" Booth said. "Hey Parker, do you want Bones to come around Disney World with us?" Book asked.
"Yeah, that would be so much fun!" Parker said excitedly.
By now the plane had come to a stop and people were starting to exit the plane. Booth, Bones, and Parker exited the plane and headed down to the luggage claim to get Bones's luggage. They found her luggage easily and then went outside and saw and FBI issued SUV waiting for them.
They got in the car which took them to their hotel inside Disney World, The Boardwalk. They entered The Boardwalk, and went to the reception desk to check in. The FBI had given them two adjoining rooms, one with a king, and another with two queens.
Bones was going to take the room with the king, and Booth and Parker were going to take the other room with the two queens. They made their way up to the hotel rooms. When they got their Booth and Parker saw that the FBI had moved their luggage from the hotel they were staying at before the case to their new room.
Bones, Booth, and Parker unpacked and they decided to order in pizza because they were tired after the long day. They all sat in Booth and Parker's room eating the pizza and watching television. Parker soon fell asleep leaving Booth and Bones to watch television.
They watched television for over an hour most of the time was spent with Booth explaining things to Bones. There was nothing else on television, so they turned it off and Bones asked about the upcoming day.
"So, what time to we need to meet tomorrow morning?" asked Bones.
"Knock on the connecting door at 8:00 AM, Parker and I will be ready and we can all go down for breakfast." said Booth.
"Okay, sounds good. Where are we going after breakfast?" asked Bones
"The other FBI agents already down here will meet us in the restaurant after we finish breakfast and take us to the site. Another agent will come and take Parker to the Magic Kingdom." explained Booth.
Bones looked at the clock, and saw it read 11:30 PM and said "Well it's getting late and we need to get up early in the morning. So, I think I'll go into my room so we can get some sleep so we can solve this case."
"Good idea, Bones, I'll see you in the morning." Booth said. Bones started walking through the door to her room when Booth said "Bones you are doing great with Parker. He really adores and looks up to you."
"Really?" Bones asked turning around.
"Yeah, he told me that he liked you better then he ever liked Tessa and he said that you should join our family." Booth said.
"Wow, I never thought he'd like me that much. I didn't think that any kids would ever like me that's another reason why I never wanted any." Bones said with a surprised look on her face.
"Well believe it, Bones." Booth said. "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight Booth." Bones said walking into her room closing the door behind her.
A/N: Again, Thank you so much for all of the wonderful reviews. I had some free time so I wrote this and got it up early. Again, I will try to have another chapter done by next week at the latest. Also next Friday is my last day of school for a week and a half so I will have a lot of time to write.
