They watched as Parker's game came to a close. His team had won, which had caused Brennan to cheer extremely loudly. Both teams were on the field receiving their trophies and running around like crazy.

"Well, we should go see Parker." Booth said, standing up. Everyone headed off the bleachers and down to the field.

"Did you see me, Daddy? Did ya?" Parker said, running over to Booth and jumping into his arms.

"I did, bub." He said. "You were fantastic!"

Parker squirmed out of his arms and ran over to her. "Dr. Bones, we won!" Parker said.

"You were great Parker." She said, leaning down and giving him a hug.

"See my trophy?" Parker replied.

"It's excellent Parker." Zach said.

"Yes, good job sweetie!" Angela said. Everyone else echoed their sentiments.

Parker turned to Amanda and Megan. "Do you wanna go play?"

"Yeah!" They replied in unison.

"Can we daddy?" Amanda asked.

"Yes of course." Goodman replied.

"Stay on the diamond." Booth said.

"Okay daddy." Parker said, running off with the two girls.

"I will be right back, I have to go talk to Rebecca." He said. She reached over and squeezed his hand. He squeezed back and let go, walking towards where Rebecca and Drew were standing.

"So what's going on sweetie?" Angela said.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

"Because you are staring at Booth talking to Rebecca and I heard him say something earlier about her having something important to say." Angela said.

"I don't know what's going on." She said, turning to Angela. "I just hope it's not bad. Booth wouldn't be able to take it."

"Maybe it's something good." Karen said.

"That's true." Goodman said. "You don't want to be unnecessarily worrying."

"I can't help it." She said. She watched Booth talking to Rebecca, gesturing with his hands. She couldn't tell from where she was standing whether it was good or bad.

"Dr. Bones?"

She turned and saw Parker standing there.

"Yes, Parker?" she said.

"Come play with us! We are running the bases!" Parker said.

She smiled as she looked over and saw the two girls furiously running the bases.

"Okay." She replied. "Hodgins is good at running the bases too."

"Yeah, come on Dr. Jack. Come play!" Parker said.

"Thanks a lot!" Hodgins replied.

They all made their way to the diamond where the girls were still running around the bases.

"So what is the object of this game?" Angela asked.

"To run around the bases as fast as you can." Parker replied. "1, 2, 3, go!" he shouted and took off running. Immediately Zach and Hodgins starting running as well. Angela, Goodman and Karen just stood there looking amused.

"Come on, Dr. Bones!" Parker shouted at her from second base.

She started running the bases trying to catch up to Parker. Zach and Hodgins were trying to beat each other around the bases. Amanda and Megan got to home first, followed by Parker, Hodgins and then Zach who was in the lead until Hodgins tripped him. She followed behind.

"You can't catch me Dr. Bones!" Parker said, running into the middle of the diamond.

"Oh yeah?" she replied, running after him. She let him get a head start and then caught up to him, scooping him up in the air and tickling him.

"No, Dr. Bones!" Parker said, giggling. "No tickling!" She let him go and he started running back to the bench where the others were.

She stood on the pitcher's mound to catch her breath and looked over and saw Booth giving Rebecca a hug. 'It can't be that bad.' She thought to herself. Suddenly he was running towards her with a grin on his face.

"What?" she said, as he came closer. She noticed that he had tears in his eyes. "Seeley, what is it?"

He stopped in front of her and said two words that she didn't think she would ever hear.

"Joint custody." He said, trying to catch his breath.

"What?" she replied, stunned.

"Rebecca's giving me joint custody." He replied, tears slipping down his face.

She pulled him into a hug, feeling the tears well up in her eyes as well. Rebecca was giving him joint custody. It was something that she knew he wanted but had never dared to hope for.

"I'm so happy for you." She said.

He pulled away from her and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Happy for us, Temperance." He said, eyes glistening. "Happy for us." He leaned down and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She snaked her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. A minute later they parted. She reached up and wiped the tears off his face.

"Does Parker know?" she asked.

"No." he replied. "Rebecca said I could tell him. I just… I just can't believe it's true. I never thought she would, you know."

"I know." She replied, reaching up to caress his cheek.

"We will get to have him some weeknights, I can take him to school and pick him up. We will also get every other weekend." He said, sounding astonished.

"You deserve it." She said emphatically. "You are a great father and it's one of the reasons I love you."

"I love you too Temperance." He said, pulling her into another hug. "Let's go tell Parker."

They headed over to the bleachers where everyone was.

"Where's Parker?" he asked.

"They are playing on the swings over there." Goodman pointed to the small playground.

"What's going on Booth?" Angela said. "What's with the tears?"

"Rebecca is giving me joint custody of Parker." He said, grinning again.

Angela squealed loudly. "Really?" she said, grabbing him and hugging him. "Congratulations!"

"Wow, man, that's awesome." Hodgins said. "Congratulations."

"Congratulations, Agent Booth." Zach said.

"Yes, congratulations." Goodman said. "You must be very excited."

"Thanks." He replied. "I'm going to go tell Parker." He turned and looked at her.

"No, you go." She said. She wanted Booth to have this moment alone with Parker.

"Sweetie, that is so great." Angela said, giving her a hug.

" I know.' She replied, hugging her back. "It's perfect."

She looked over and saw Rebecca heading towards her.

"Excuse me a moment." She said to the others, as she walked towards Rebecca.

"Hi. Dr. Brennan." Rebecca said. "I just wanted to give you Parker's backpack."

"Thanks." She replied. "And thank you. You don't know what this means to Seeley."

Rebecca nodded. "I should have done it a long time ago." She said. "I guess I was just scared for some reason. Like I thought that Seeley would eventually leave or something."

"He doesn't leave the people he loves." She said.

"I know. I know that now." Rebecca replied. "Anyway, here's his backpack. If you want, you can have him until Monday and then take him to school in the morning."

"Really?" she asked. "That would be great. Booth would definitely like that."

"Okay, well we should go." Rebecca said, gesturing to Drew, who was standing by the car.

"We are going to Chuck E Cheese if you would like to come." She said.

"Oh no, that's okay." Rebecca replied, laughing. "I am looking forward to a nice quiet afternoon."

They both looked over to where Parker and Booth were talking.

"Do you want to say goodbye to Parker?" she asked.

"I actually already did, after the game." Rebecca said. "Well, I am sure we will see each other soon."

"Yes." She replied. "Thank you again. And Rebecca? Please, call me Tempe."

Rebecca smiled. "No problem, Tempe." she said as she walked away.

She turned and headed back to the group. Parker and Booth were also making their way there. Parker began running towards her.

"Dr. Bones! Dr. Bones! Guess what?" Parker said, running into her arms. "Daddy said that I get to live with you and him sometimes during the week and some weekends too and we get to spend lots and lots of time together, not like before."

"Wow, that's great!" she said, the tears finally slipping down her face from seeing the look of pure joy in Parker's eyes.

"Why are you crying Dr. Bones?" Parker asked, pulling away from their hug and looking at her.

"Because I am happy." She replied. She looked at Booth who was smiling like mad. "Just because I am happy."
