Hello my lovelies! I have returned how long has it been? 5 days. I know its been longer for me than it has for you. I got a new computer so I had to wait for my documents to transfer. Dis chapter doe!
So the return of one of my personal favorites SWEETS! JFD baby all for me. Hodgins is my other one but Tj is married. Booth is for Brennan as David is for Emily. Um so as I've come to enjoy typing in this top note. Enjoy...
Angela was painting away when she got Bren's call. Not moments after did Cam enter her office looking a bit confused. "Hey Angela, did Booth call you?"
"No. I just got one from Bren asking for me and Hodgins to meet her at her apartment. Why?" Angela was curious.
"I just got a call from Booth asking me to meet him at Brennan's apartment." Cam said, crossing her arms.
"Weird." Angela joked.
"What do you think is going on?" Cam asked, catching on.
"Whatever it is, it's their business." Angela said sarcastically.
"Completely." Cam joked.
20 minutes later, Hodgins pulled his truck into Brennan's garage. Looking to Angela in the passenger seat, and then over her noticing Sweets get out of his car. Hodgins proceeded to do the same.
"Sweets, what are you doing here?" The entomologist asked the shrink.
"I was about to ask you the same thing. Booth called me over here." He smiled.
Cam, stepping out of her car joined the group. "Why don't we ask the masterminds themselves?"
The boys laughed at this, and Angela just smirked. Heading up the stairs, the four arrived at the apartment with a door wide open. Looking inside the noticed the two 'masterminds' laughing hysterically at the table.
"Hey guys." Angela spoke jittery at the sight of her best friend giggling at the man she was totally in love with.
Bren turned her sights to their four friends and, if was possible, an even bigger smile hit her face. "Hey!"
Booth turned his head in the direction of the doorway as well at the sound of her beautiful voice. He looked at the awkward faces each friend made and then cracked a joke. "Took you long enough geez."
Sweets was the first one to shrug off the weird look he had glued to his face for the two minutes of silence and laughed, stepping through the doorway. "Traffic."
Cam released the questionable anxiety and joined the psychologist through the doorway. "Well I was reared by grandpa and grandma over here."
Hodgins looked to his wife and gave her a 'what's going on' look, and she just shrugged. Angela never shrugged. Noticing their friends' silence waited a response, he laughed. "Well tell that to Mrs. Backseat driver over here."
Ashley opened the door to the roof and let her small friend climb out of the stairway. Shutting the dusty door, she realized that no one probably except the manager of the building, had come up here in a while.
Opening the door to the storage closet kept on the roof for utilities, she pulled out two chairs, an adult one and a smaller one for a child.
Quite confused, Parker asked. "Did you buy those?"
"With what money?" Ashley joked, rubbing his hair.
"So then how'd you get em?" The curious five year old asked.
"They were my dad and I's chairs silly. The big one was my dad's and the little one is yours." She says, pointing to each chair.
He smiled big taking seat in the small blue chair. Ashley breathed in and took in a seat in her father's chair. Soon she realized it still smelt like his hair gel.
"Ashley." Parker said, leaning slightly over the railing.
Ashley opened her tightly shut eyes and noticed the little boy hanging over the edge. She stood up and placed her hand on his shoulder as he slowly leaned back. "You don't fall. It's a long drop."
"Sorry. Ashley?" He asked this time emphasizing the question.
"What's up Parks?" She asked running her hand threw his light brown curls.
"What is your dad like?" He asked in full blown question mode.
Admiring the fact that he used 'is' and not 'was', she smiled at the thought. "Well smart, very smart. Funny, hilarious actually. Kinda like you."
"You think I'm hairy?" Parker asked, not understanding the word.
"No, silly. Hilarious. It means extremely funny." Ashley tickled the boy, causing him to laugh very loudly.
"Stop, stop." Parker cried out in giggles.
"I guess I could take a snack break. You like popsicles?"She asked.
Booth looked at his friends and then to Bones. She was just smiling at him, and he got lost in her eyes for a minute, before turning back. "Bones and I have a favor to ask of you all."
"What kind of favor?" Hodgins asked.
"You see. With Booth's surgery, and Parker's recent occurrence." Brennan began to say.
"Occurrence?" Cam stood up.
"What happened?" Sweets asked, concerned.
Booth laughed and motioned for them both to sit down. "He's fine. Rebecca decided that Parker should live with me instead of her and Drew."
"So idiotically, Drew dropped him off at the corner and drove away. And Parker went to buy ice cream, some guy nearly snatched him, when my neighbor Ashley recognized him." Brennan spoke factually.
"And then she brought him to me, looking for Brennan who had left. So she went back to Brennan's apartment, and dropped him off." Angela smiled.
"When did this all happen? Why didn't you tell us?" Hodgins asked.
"We just forgot about it I guess" Booth said looking back to Bones.
"As I was saying." Brennan said.
"Continue, ." Sweets said, with a rise of his open hand.
"I am doing so, ." She glared at him.
"Sorry." He said, bowing his head.
"Anyways, Booth and I have decided that since Parker is going to need a mother figure, and Booth is in the process of recovering, that the boys will move in with me." Brennan stated.
Taking a moment to take it all in, Angela had a delayed squeal. Hodgins' ears perked up and he held his head in his hands. "Ange, take it down a notch."
"Sorry." She blushed with a large smile on her face.
"For how long will this arrangement last?" Sweets asked in his professional tone.
"Don't go all shrink on us now, Sweets. I'm letting you talk." Booth said, cutting off the young man.
"To answer your question, Booth and I will see it through to the end." Brennan stated with a smile.
Meanwhile across the hall, Josh opened the door to an early guest. Looking up and down at the boy while rubbing his eyes, his vision became clear to the point he recognized it as Ashley's best friend, Joe.
"Hey Joe, Ash's hanging out at Brennan's place." He said to the young lightly brown haired boy.
"Thanks, hey you might want to get dressed. It's like 11 am." Joe laughed at him.
Turning on the heels of his feet, Joe took a step towards the open door, looking into the room full of adults. He smiled at them, searching for the face he needed until she called his name.
"Hey Joe. How are you?" Brennan said with a smile, upon seeing the boy many times since Ashley was about 6.
"Good, thanks Tempe. Josh said Ash was over here with you and these fine guests of yours." He smiled.
Brennan laughed while Booth sat up straight. Both had met Joe numerous amounts of times, Brennan more than Booth of course. Both also knew that he was always quite the charmer, except near Ashley.
"Actually she took Parker up to the roof." Brennan smiled.
"The roof. She hasn't been up there for quite some time." Joe's face grew very sad.
"What's so important about the roof?" Sweets asked, noticing the boy's long face.
"How is Parker?" Joe asked, changing the subject.
"Very good actually." Booth smiled.
"Well thank you so much for your help. I didn't happen to catch your guests names on my intrusion, I recognize Dr. Hodgins and Mrs. Montenegro of course." Joe remembered meeting them three or four times each.
Booth found his formality humorous for a boy his age. "This is Dr. Cam Saroyan and Dr. Lance Sweets."
"Once again, my apologies for interrupting, and it was very nice meeting you two doctors. Would you care for me to send a message to your son, Tempe?" Joe said, hanging onto the doorframe.
Brennan gave Booth a glare, and he answered "Yes, will you tell him to come down in about an hour or so."
"Of course." The sixteen year old disappeared from their sights.
So you know how I've been going on and on about my sister, well my littlest brother, 7 years old asked his friend Topanga (BMW I knOW!) if his "little sister" could come to her birthday party! Idk why but it was the best thing in the world.
Had to get that out. Oh my Joe! So much like my guy best friend, so much.I wrote him that way. How'd you like that chapter? Everything you'd hoped for and more?
Anyways and Always: Favorite, Follow, and Review!
