A.N. I do not own Bones
Two days later, Tara was able to be discharged because she was doing so well. Brennan had hired a private duty nurse and Tara would be going back to see Dr. Andrews more frequently. She would be having a visiting physical therapist as well. Even Booth agreed if this was Parker, he would have done the same thing if he had her money.
The night before, Booth had gone through to finish toddler proofing and Brennan had bought some equipment To care for her while she was in the cast. Tara had a stool that is purple to help her reach the bathroom sink.
Everyone had come over for dinner a few nights later and Brennan was making stir fry. Booth brought over "No way Bones, there are some of us who,do not eat that tofu crap. Why does Tara have to eat Tofu? It's not normal."
Brennan spun around. "Booth, her parents had her on a vegetarian diet. She still eats eggs and dairy. Her blood levels show she has no vitamin and mineral deficiencies."
Now seeing her room, Tara looked like she was on cloud nine. Brennan had plenty of the current updates with mummy finds in Egypt and new tombs. Booth was not happy at all. "Bones, I do not care how advanced she is for her age but no two year old should know about the latest discoveries in Egyptology. No mummies Bones."
Tara knew Booth was not going to be any fun. "I have seen several mummies. Mommy and daddy have taken me to see them in museums. They are not scary."
Booth just face palmed himself and mumbled "Why do I even bother."
Brennan made sure she can get all of the NHL channels on TV and made sure she can DVR games since many of them happen late.
Tara was getting better, she was doing great during physical therapy and only needed the nurse for two weeks. Brennan found out when the Bruins were going to be playing the Capitals again and it would be in a few weeks. She got tickets for front row seats right in front of the glass. She picked up four tickets so Booth and Parker could attend.
Caroline dealt with all of the legal matters of Nick and Rachel's estate. Brennan put all of Nick and Rachel's bank accounts into a trust for Tara when she gets older. Everything was moved to an air conditioned storage facility.
Now for telling Booth about the tickets. "Bones, you shouldn't have."
Brennan could argue her case. "Booth she will have just gotten out of her cast and needs an outing. I know how much you love hockey and I was hoping you would not mind coming even though it is not the Flyers and I know you would love the time spent with Parker too."
Booth could not fault her logic. The game was even on a Saturday when he has Parker. Parker never had taken to his love of the Flyers. He loves the Capitals. This will make his day. This game is the last of the home games for the season and the Capitals are not going to be going to the playoffs anyways.
Brennan was going to be heading back to work and Tara would love the day care at the Jeffersonian. They also have a preschool there that is for employees only. She was also going to hire a nanny for Tara. That was when Brennan had offers for baby sitting that came in the form of Daisy, Angela, Cam, and Cam knew she could Michelle to watch her too if needed.
Game day was here and Parker was at Brennan's apartment with his father. He had on a Capitals t-shirt. Tara had a Thomas jersey on. Parker had net Tara before and teased her "The Bruins, of all teams it has to be the Bruins."
"Parker, I have a brain therefore I cheer on the Bruins. You do know there statistics? We are a better team."Booth had to go into the next room over because he was laughing so hard. The plan would be for Brennan to just carry Tara because her leg is so weak. Also, Booth's Sequoia would be used because it would be a little too tight between Parker and the car seat in the back for them.
First period was a beauty with a full line brawl and by full line, all five players went off on each other. Each team served five minutes. There was a puck that tore off Thomas' mask but Booth pointed out "Bones, that is why they wear masks. If you play hockey, you know the risks. Goalie is one of the more safer positions with all of the extra padding that they wear."
The Capitals were getting their asses handed to them with plenty of fighting. There was the mother of all bad calls. Ovechkin cross checked Nathan Horton in the throat and there were no penalties called. Horton was not moving. It looked deliberate to Booth and even Parker noted it. "Dad, he took five strides to Horton. Isn't that match penalty?"
"It is, Ovechkin should be ejected. I guarantee someone on the Bruins is going to go after him out of retribution. I am thinking Thornton."
Tara was the funniest. "Ref, how many pucks have you been hit in the head?"
Parker was funding it quite amusing. "Tara, a word to the wise. Refs always make bad calls."
True to Booth's prediction, there was a fight between Ovechkin and Thornton where Ovi was pounded down into the ice. It became a very good game with you nearly having a heart attack after every second. The game finished with a 6-2 Bruins.
On the way back to Brennan's apartment, Tara passed out in the back and she was out like a light when they reached the building. Brennan went to pick up Tara but Booth carried her up instead.
"Thank you Bones, thank you for the tickets and the wonderful evening. I know you don't like sports."
Brennan could see his reasoning. "I wanted something fun for Tara after being cooped up in the cast."Tara was miserable in the cast, it went up to the top of her thigh. The cast was hot, itchy, and just uncomfortable.
Parker could barely stay awake and Booth had to get him back to his apartment. Mass may not be an option for how tired Parker is. Getting him out of bed for 9:30 mass may not happen at all and he is hard enough as it is to get out of bed in the morning. Even army tactics do not work on him.
Booth had a good night even though it was not watching the Flyers. He cheered in the Bruins as a way to pick on Parker. He could tell Bones enjoyed herself even though she does not enjoy sports. Plans were being made to take Tara skating but it was all conditional of her being able to bear weight on that leg and her being passed by her doctor. The doctor gets the final say.
Now with the piece of shit ;Trevor Marks, he has pleaded not guilty and a trial is being planned for October. There is enough information to bury him for a long time. There would be some justice for Tara for having her parents taken from her.
