The alarm clock of her cell phone was enough to tell her it was time to get to her apartment. She finished the limbo case that was lying on the lab. She got as quickly as she could to her office, but was interrupted by Angela

"Sweetie, why in such a hurry, going to see your FBI agent, right?" Angela kept her electronic notebook to her chest, and followed Brennan into her office

"Yes, but we are not going to do what you are thinking" Brennan hanged the lab coat and replaced it with a nice black jacket

"Well Bren, if you are not going to take a bubble bath with the man, there's still plenty of things to do" She sat on the couch, folding her legs and waiting for an answer

Brennan bursted into laugher, though a bubble bath wouldn't be a bad idea

"No Ange, non of that" She cleared her throat and straighten her jeans "I'm going to go to a school activity of Parker's"

"Oh my God!"

"What?"

Angela's mind swung back to the moment in the hospital, she was not about to freak her with a relationship image, she was not going to make the same mistake again "Nothing"

Brennan tilled her head, and sighed

"Well, I'm just saying, that kid really likes you" She stood up from the couch and hugged her best friend "I'm so happy for you, those two make you good" She left the place but left behind the electronic notebook

"Ange, you forgot your" Angela was far into the lab "Never mind" She said to herself. She needed to leave now; she was not going to be late to Parker's event


The clock read 5:59. She didn't know exactly why she was so nervous. Is just another day with Booth and Parker. She had met before the little blond boy, so why was she in such a wreck? Her mind kept telling her this was a risky situation, too compromising. But her heart wanted to go, spend time with Booth, and get to know Parker.

At exactly 6:00 O'clock the door rang. Booth was always on time. She gave herself a last look in the mirror and opened the door

"Wow!" His eyes where glowing as they swept through her body

"What?" She opened the door completely, exposing herself in a pair of skinny black jeans and a tight white blouse that accentuated her beautiful figure "You look amazing!" He laughed and hugged her tightly

"You see me every day" She closed the door, and walked beside him through the hall

"Look Bones, I wanted to tell you how amazing you looked since the day I met you, but I couldn't, now that I can I'm going to repeat it every day, got it?" He guided her to the SUV


They entered a nice suburbs neighborhood. They where heading to Rebecca's house to pick up Parker. As Brennan saw the nice houses, with the perfect front yard, minivan and a blue swing, that this was the life Booth always wanted, and that she couldn't give him that. "I'm sorry" She was still looking throughout the window

Her words took him off balance "What? Why Bones?"

"I can't give you all this, Booth, you've always wanted this, didn't you?" She pointed at the scene in front of her

He looked at where she was pointing. Yes, he did want that life. "Yes, I did" He took a deep breath "But not anymore" He parked in front of Rebecca's house. He tilled her chin, so that she was facing him "Bones, since the moment I met you, all my dreams changed, now they all have you in them"

Her eyes got teary. Booth whipped her tears with his thumb "Hey look at me, I don't care about this stuff anymore, I care about you, so don't feel sorry"

She nodded and smiled, whipping the rest of the tears that had now stopped

"I'm going for Parker, okay?"

"Okay"

He made his way to the door. The little boy jumped to his father's arms, he was quite exited to see him.

"Dr. Brennan came, she is in the car" Said Booth to Parker

The eyes of the little boy lighten up; he started to wiggle his legs, trying to get them to reach the floor "Dr. Bones came! Daddy lets go, she's waiting!" Booth let him down, talked quickly to Rebecca then tried to reach Parker's speed

Brennan opened her door as she saw the pair running to where she was sitting

"Hey Parker"

"Dr. Bones!" He crashed against her legs

Brennan kneeled to give the boy a proper hug

"I'm so glad you came Dr. Bones" Parker indeed inherited the smile of his father

"I'm glad too"

The three got into the car

"Told you he has a crush on you" Booth whispered to Brennan while Parker wasn't watching. "He does not" She laughed and chose a topic to include Parker in the conversation

"So, Parker, what do you do in this events?" She looked at the back seat, where the boy's face lightened with joy as he saw how Brennan talked to him

"Oh we do a lot of stuff, there's food, right Daddy?"

"Right kiddo" Booth bumped his fist with his son's. Brennan laughed in her mind, as he saw the two relatives sharing their love for food

"Oh but that's not all Dr. Bones, we get to show and tell"

Brennan opened her mouth in astonishment, just to give the little boy more enthusiasm "Wow Parker!"

Booth smiled as he saw Brennan interacting with his son, she was doing the best she could, and her best was incredible.

"And what did you bring?"

"It's a secret" He placed his index finger over his lips "Sshhhhh"

"Does your father know?" She looked at Booth

"Nope, nobody knows" He laughed in his little seat, whishing it was time for show and tell

"He's not going to tell you, he's great at keeping secrets" Booth told Brennan

"Just as his father" Brennan smiled and repositioned herself on the seat


They got to the school, Booth parked the car a few steps from the main entrance. The scene was amazing, little kids running everywhere, some carrying big boxes. Parents chasing after them, while others enjoyed the free peanut butter sandwiches

"There sure are a lot of kids here" Bones moved out of the way to avoid being crashed by some kids playing tag

Both Brennan and Booth felt something tugging on their jeans. They looked down to see Parker who was motioning them to reach his height, they did

"Daddy, Dr. Bones, I want you to meet my friend" He let go of his father's jeans to point at a little brunet girl who had her back facing them

"Sure kiddo, want to go?"

Parker nodded, and they started the mission to get to the other side of the hall without being stepped on. They made it after several attempts. Parker stood behind the girl and tapped his index finger over her shoulder. The girl turned around. Her skin was porcelain white, her eyes stunning green, the brown shinny hair framing her face perfectly

"Booth" The girl nodded and gave him a sweet smile

"She calls you Booth?" Booth kneeled to talk to his son

"Is more proper that way" Parker whispered at his father's ear "She is in the honor roll", making him laugh at the grown up attempt gesture

Brennan watched the scene quite amused

"Jenny this is my dad, and this is Dr. Bones" Parker pointed at the subjects as he talked

"Hi" The girl smiled at each of the person she just met

"Hi, nice to meet you" Brennan and Booth said at the same time

"C'mon Booth lets go play!" The girl ran into the hall, and Parker went right behind her

Booth stood up, and tugged his arm around Brennan's waist

"Sorry Bones, looks like you don't have a chance with little Booth, but don't be sad, you can always have me" He smiled and kissed her in the cheek, taking into account that there where kids present

She laughed "I don't know why but that scene seemed pretty familiar, don't you?"

"Yeah, God knows why"

"Why" She asked

"Why, what?"

"You said God knows why, you are a religious man, so why?" She was genuinely asking

"Bones just forget it; it was an expression, okay"

She nodded

"All the guests please round up in the class rooms assign for your child!" A middle age woman yelled and motioned the people to get into the rooms assign, they all did

After several introductions the event began, students started to approach the front of the room and explain what they had brought for show and tell. Some kids brought their favorite toy, others brought the strangest thing that came out of their noses and a few others forgot their task, so decided to dance or sing instead. It was now Parker's turn. Booth and Brennan watched from the last seats on the room, they clapped as the teacher presented the kid. Jenny clapped and cheered his good friend. The class went quiet as Parker started to speak

"Hi, my name is Parker Booth" He spoke without shyness

Brennan recognized that Parker had the same confidence as Booth

"I brought something amazing for show and tell" He looked directly into Booth, who was smiling proudly as his son spoke

"I brought" He pointed his little arm to where Brennan was sitting "Dr. Bones!"

All the class turned around to see the woman Parker was presenting. She froze, her legs didn't move and she felt all the stares of the people on top of her.

"Bones, Bones that's you" Booth whisper and gave her a bump with his elbow

She started to get up and started to walk to where the little blond kid stood.

"Dr. Bones is great, isn't she Daddy?" Parker spoke loudly

"Yes she is" Booth laughed as he saw Brennan's amusing face. Her cheeks where red, she kept straightening her jeans and she was smiling rather oddly.

"She knows a lot about stuff, she's been to Africa!" All the little faces lighten up and paid close attention at the last statement. Well it was every little kid's dream to visit a safari in Africa, wasn't it?

"Dr. Bones" Parker gave her encouragement to talk

"Oh" She took two steps forward "Yes, as Parker mentioned I've been to Africa and several other places in the world"

One child raised his hand and several others did too

"They are gonna ask you some questions Dr. Bones"

"Oh, Mm go ahead" She pointed at some kid, and the questions started flowing. After several minutes of constant answering, the teacher marked that the time was over. Parker's presentation was probably the most talked about and interesting of all.

"I have one question" Parker spoke before being dismissed

"Yes Parker" Brennan kneeled, so it was more comfortable for him

"Are you daddy's girlfriend? Because that would be awesome!"

Booth quickly rose from his seat "Um sorry about that" He picked his son up and placed his hand behind Brennan's back, taking them back to their seats.
