I am real busy tomorrow, so I won't be able to update. I have a final at noon, my sister is coming at 5, oh gosh I'm so excited. to meet her. See after then!
Bones set the phone down back in the living room and watched as Ashley was serving herself a plate of lasagna. She looked at her neighbor. "Oh I can put this away for you."
"No keep it out, Booth will want some." Bren laughed.
"Alright Tempe." Ashley smiled.
"I am going back in with Parker. When Booth gets here would you answer the door for me?" Bren asked.
"Of course." Ashley nodded.
Bren went back into the bedroom and crawled onto the bed, careful not to wake Parker. He rolled onto her stomach curled up. She rubbed his hair.
About 20 minutes later, Booth knocked on his partner's door. When it opened, he was surprised to see Bones' neighbor Ashley there.
"Booth come on in, Tempe and Parker are asleep in her room. I can go wake them up for you. She wanted me to tell you there's lasagna in the fridge, I was supposed to leave it out for you but I didn't want it to get bad." Ashley shut the door behind the man as he stepped in.
"That's great, but what are you doing here?" Booth asked the girl.
"Well the important part Tempe should tell you. But she makes dinner for me and my brothers sometimes when our parents go out." Ashley smiled heading for the bedroom.
Booth grabbed her arm, shushing her. "You know what. I'll just go in."
Ashley nodded and sat back down, as she had been reading one of Brennan's books. Booth quietly made his way to Bones' bedroom, opening the door and peeking in.
Admiring the sight in front of him, Bones sleeping like the angel she is with Parker clinging onto her and peacefully sleeping. He almost felt bad to disturb them. He made his way over to the side of the bed.
He pulled her hair back behind her ear, kissed her cheek and whispered softly. "Bones."
She stirred, lifting her shoulders then a small gasp came out, and she soon began to slowly open her eyes. She took in the sight in front of her. "Booth?"
"Hey there sleepyhead." He smiled at the sight of her waking up in front of him.
"Sorry I must have fallen asleep." Bren tried to lift herself up but Parker clung to her.
"He's got a death tight grip there Bones, you don't wanna try to get up." Booth laughed.
"Booth, is Ashley still here?" Bren asked resting her head back on the pillow.
"Yes she is Bones." Booth sat down next to her on the bed.
"You need to thank her." Bren said, nearly falling back asleep.
"Why?' Booth said concerned.
"Because she stopped Parker from being kidnapped at the park today. She thinks he's my son, so she brought him to the Jeffersonian and then back here. You should thank her, Booth. You also may want to clear up the fact that Parker is not my son and we are not in a relationship." Bren said, closing her eyes.
"I will Bones." Booth said, he kissed her forehead and brushed his hair against her cheek and left the room.
Ashley was leaving when Booth came back out. He smiled at her. "Leaving so soon?"
Ashley laughed. "As much as I love Parker, believe me I do. I have twin six year olds to get to bed."
"Let me walk you home. It's the least I can do for you bringing back our son." Booth had surprised himself at the accidental slip up, when he told Bones he'd clear it up. It couldn't hurt.
"I was just helping out really. But alright I could use the company for a 2 second walk." Ashley laughed.
He followed her out and across the hall. She pulled out her key and entered the apartment. As soon as they greeted her two small boys with blonde hair and blue eyes came rushing toward her enveloping her in a hug.
"I see we've brought a boy home, he's a little old for you isn't he Ash?"An older boy, about Ashley's age joked, coming to greet Booth.
"Can it, Josh. Booth these are my brothers. Josh, thing 1 Nate, thing 2 Gabe." Ashley laughed, pointing to the boys.
"Gabe, he's Parker's daddy." Nate yelled, very loudly.
"No duh, Nate!" Gabe yelled back.
"Alright enough with the yelling." A man and a woman came out from the other room.
The man introduced himself as Dan and his wife was Mel. The man shook firmly. "You're with Tempe correct?"
Booth hated lying to people, but he honestly liked the idea of him and Bones together, and he loved the fact these people thought they were. "Yes. I wanted to thank Ashley here for bringing Parker home safely today."
"Well, you know our daughter. She can save a dog from a burning building but can't clean her room." Mel laughed, as Ashley's face turned red.
With her face the color of a tomato, Ashley rushed Booth out the door. "Well thanks for thanking me. Tempe expects you to eat some of that lasagna. Hey if you ever need a sitter for Parker-"
"I know just where to come. See you around folks." Booth waved shutting the door behind him.
Ashley sighed, resting her head against the door. Josh laughed. "I wanted to talk to the guy some more."
Booth went back into Bones' apartment, had a plate of lasagna as Ashley instructed. Then he looked through Parker's backpack for a bit and decided he was tired.
He slowly tiptoed into Bones' room and pushing his son over a little bit, he climbed into the bed next to Parker, reaching out to wrap his arm around him and accidentally touching Bones.
"Booth what are you doing?" Bren asked quietly.
"Shush, just go back to sleep Bones." Booth whispered.
"Goodnight Booth." Bren whispered.
"Goodnight Bones." Booth whispered back.
And soon the two both fell back asleep.
