Home on the Booth's Ranch
Cinderella2122
Chapter 4
The next morning at nine, the bedroom door creaked open just a little, and Parker poked his little head round the door. Bones was still asleep as Parker crept into the room and stood next to the bed. He brushed a piece of hair out of her face and her eyes fluttered open and came to rest on Parker.
"Hi, Parker," she yawned, "What are you doing in here?"
"Daddy told me to come in and wake you up, but you weren't in Daddy's old room." Parker said Bones quietly got up. They snuck out of the room, being careful not to wake the other girls.
Parker took her hand as they walked down the stairs to the kitchen. She was still in her oversized pyjamas as they reached the bottom of the stairs and the smell of pancakes drifted from the kitchen. Parker led Bones to the kitchen and stopped at the door, Booth turned to look at them and dropped the bowl filled with batter he was holding.
"Bones, your hair… Oh my It's…" Booth stuttered as Bones looked at him curiously, "It's blue."
"Only some of it is blue Booth." Bones corrected him
"Why Bones? Why is it blue?" Booth asked confused.
"Well I was being entertained by Lara, Lauren and Grace, and they decided to colour their hair, and they asked me if I wanted mine done too. So I thought it would be interesting, and Angela is always telling me to jump." Bones laughed.
"Some how I doubt she meant dying your hair blue." Booth said.
"You don't like it?" Bones said. Booth saw the hurt on her face and suddenly realized how it might have sounded.
"Oh no, Bones, I think it looks hot!" Booth said quickly, "and that's just not something that you would usually do; you've been corrupted by my nieces," he laughed.
Bones smiled, he liked it. She wasn't quite sure why it meant so much to her for him to like it, whatever it was couldn't be good.
"Corrupted? I have not been corrupted; I have merely changed my hair." Bones fought back
"I'm sorry Bones, your hair is lovely. Would you like some pancakes?" Booth said, changing the subject: it was too early even for him to start bickering. She nodded yes as Booth bent down and picked up the bowl from the floor.
"You might wanna make some more batter," She teased with a smile and Booth couldn't help but smile back.
Later that day Bones sat on her bed holding her phone in her hands. She dialled the ever so familiar number belonging to her best friend Angela Montenegro.
"Bren sweetie, hi," Angela said as she answer the phone.
"Hello Angela,"
"What can I do you for Bren? Is everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything is fine I was just checking in."
"So Bren tell me have you jumped yet?"
"I put blue streaks in my hair, does that count?" Bones asked.
Angela gasped on the other end of the line, "Blue streaks? Are you serious?"
"Yes I am very serious, Booth said it looks hot. But blue is a cool colour."
"Bren I want photo's now!" Angela squealed.
"What, don't you believe me?"
"I believe you, I just wanna see it!"
"Fine give me a sec," Bones pulled the phone away from her ear and took a few photo's of her hair from different angles, and sent them too her friend. A few minutes later Bone's ears were blown out by Angela's squeal.
"It's blue!" Angela squealed even louder.
"You said you believed me." Bones said confused.
"Oh I did but this is wow! Booth's right it does look hot!" Angela agreed.
"Thank you I guess, well I better go, everyone is down stairs. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye sweetie, have fun, and Bren…" Angela trailed off
"Yes Ange?"
"Try to let them in Bren, Booth and his family; it'll be good for you." Angela advised
"Okay, bye Ange" Bones said as she hung up the phone.
"What's that meant to mean" Bones said aloud as she threw on a pair of jeans and a pretty blue top. She brushed her hair and teeth then headed back down stairs.
The older members of the Booth family were all sat in the lounge room talking when Bones came in. She looked around until she located Booth and headed over to sit by him, but there were no seats, apparently more of the Booth clan had shown up.
"Hey Bones, how's Angela?" Booth asked she sat down on the arm of his chair.
'It's awfully loud for little lounge room' Bones thought.
"She's good, she got me to send her pictures of my hair then promptly squealed, I don't think she believed me that it was blue?" Bones said, still sounding a bit confused
"Probably not Bones, it's not usually your style." Booth said
"True, so did I miss anything while I was other while occupied?" Bones asked.
"Otherwise Bones, not other while, and not much, Grace and Lauren's parents arrived, and as did my sister Kelley, and her family."
"Okay which ones are they?" Bones asked as Booth smiled at her.
"Hey, Kelley," Booth shouted. A short slim woman, with dark hair and dark brown Booth eyes, walked over to them. "Kelley this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan," Booth introduced the two women.
"Nice to meet you Temperance," Kelley smiled.
