Started to write this story and I just kept going and going. This story is really long compared to the other ones that I wrote. I find that whenever I put Parker in a story it gives be a bunch of more things to write about. Who doesn't love Parker?
Watching You – Rodney Atkins
Booth was finishing up his last report of the night that Cullen had been chewing his ass off all week for. He couldn't wait to go home to see his wife. Booth knew she would be sitting on their couch typing away on her laptop for her new book coming out. She always denied that she was waiting up for him but Booth knew she had a hard time falling asleep when he wasn't in bed with her. Signing his name on the report he was walking over to Cullen's office when his phone rang.
"Booth"
"Seeley it's Rebecca"
"Hey what's up?"
"It's your weekend to have Parker and he doesn't have school tomorrow because it is parent – teacher conferences. So I was wondering if you would like to have him an extra day."
"Of course! What time do you have to be at work? I'll pick him up before then."
"I have to leave around 8:45 a.m."
"Okay tell him I'll be there to get him at 8:30."
"Alright Seeley that sounds good."
"Thank you Rebecca."
"You're welcome. Goodbye Seeley."
"Bye."
Booth dropped the report in Cullen's mailbox and headed home with a big smile on his face. He rarely got extra time with his son and he was going to make the best out of it.

Booth walked into his new house and looked over to the couch and saw that Bones wasn't there. He took off his coat and put it away in the closet.
Brennan was in the kitchen when Booth came in. When she walked into the room he was putting his coat away. She hadn't seen him all day and couldn't wait to feel his lips against hers.
As Booth shut the closet door he saw Bones making her way over to him. She had a seductive smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she pressed her lips to his. Booth's arms circled her waist and pulled her flat against his hard body. She licked his bottom lip asking to enter and he complied. As his tongue finally touched hers he let out a deep groan and she circled her hips grinding into his. They both released their lips when the need for oxygen became apparent.
"Well hello to you too Bones" Booth said with a full force charm smile.
"Sorry, I just… you left early for that meeting and you couldn't make it to the lab today and…"
Booth silenced her with a lingering kiss.
"…I like to kiss my husband."
Booth laughed "It's okay Bones I love kissing my beautiful wife." He pulled her into another breath taking kiss. After they broke off the kiss he went to the kitchen for some water. Bones followed.
"Oh Bones, it's our week with Parker and he doesn't have school tomorrow and Rebecca said we can have him for an extra day."
"That's great Booth, you two will be able to have some father – son time since I have to work and you have the day off."
"Take the day off. There is no new case. Come spend some extra time with your step-son and me."
"Booth" Brennan sighed.
"I know Bones, but it was worth the shot." Booth said as he walked away from her up the stairs.
"Booth, where are you going?"
"To the bedroom there is something I need to take care of but, I would be extremely happy if my wife took care of it for me."
The seductive smile returned back to Brennan's face and she took off running for the stairs following right behind Booth.
XXXX
Booth pulled into Rebecca's driveway right on time. He still couldn't get the smile on his face to look normal. He had big plans for Parker today.
"Hi Seeley come in. He is grabbing his bag."
"Dad!"
Booth knelt down to receive his sons running hug.
"Hey buddy, you all ready to go? We have a big day planned today."
"Yeah Daddy let's go!" Parker said pulling on Booth's hand.
"Thanks again Rebecca." He said as he hugged her.
"You're welcome Seeley."
Booth picked up Parker's bag as they headed to the SUV. When Booth was driving out of the driveway Parker's questions began.
"Daddy, where is mom? What are we doing today? Is mom coming with us? Can we go swimming? Can we play soccer?"
"Woah buddy slow down one at a time" Booth laughed.
"Sorry. Where is mom?"
"She is at the Jeffersonian"
"What are we doing today?"
"Well first we are going to head to the zoo. Then around lunch time we are going to get McDonalds…"
Getting excited Parker cut him off. "Is mommy coming with us?"
"Not this time Parks. She has to work."
"Oh okay" Parker replied with disappointment in his voice.
"After the zoo and lunch we can go pick up Bones and go get milkshakes. How does that sound?"
"Awesome!"
"Alright zoo here we come."
XXXX
(Later At The Zoo)
"You ready to head out to get lunch?"
"Can we go watch the dolphin show before we go?"
"Sure let's go get some tickets."
They headed off towards the dolphins, bought two tickets, and found good seats right in the center. As the show was coming to an end the dolphin trainer said "Can everyone take a look to your right. My partner is standing by the seats." A spotlight focused on her. "We are doing something special. On the back of your tickets are numbers. If we call your number then head towards her because you will have won a special day for you and your family to come swim with our dolphins."
Parker whispered into Booth's ear "Daddy if we win we could bring mom because she loves dolphins!"
"Yeah she would really love that" Booth said as he pictured the smile on her face as she swan with the dolphins. Booth didn't even hear the number called. He snapped back to reality when Parker ripped his ticket out of his hands screaming "WE WON!"
"We won?"
"Yeah Dad they called your number."
Booth stood up and held Parkers hand as they headed down to see the assistant dolphin trainer.
"Congratulations! You and your family get to have a private day of swimming and playing with our dolphins."
"Thank you" Booth said as he took the needed papers.
"You and your family are going to have a great time."
"I can't wait to tell my mom. She will be so excited! She loves dolphins!" Parker said to the trainer.
"Well we will make it a say she will never forget."
Walking away Parker said "Daddy I'm hungry. Can we go eat McDonalds now?"
"Sure."
Walking out of the zoo Booth couldn't believe the amazing day they were having.
XXXX
Sitting in the car Parker knew he wasn't allowed to have his toy from the happy meal until he ate all of his chicken nuggets. Booth and Parker were off to get Bones at the Jeffersonian for milkshakes. They were coming up to an intersection and as Booth drove closer he saw that the green light turned straight to red. He slammed on the brakes and mumbled under his breath. Parker's fries went flying and his orange Hi-C was now spilled on his lap. All Booth heard from the backseat was "Shit!" They drove the block down the street and turned and parked in the Jeffersonian parking lot. Booth whipped around saying "Where did you learn to talk like that?" Parker smiled wide and said "I've been watching you dad. Isn't that cool? I'm your buckaroo and I want to be like you. Eat all of my food so I can grow as tall as you! We both have cameo sleeping pants that mommy gave us for Christmas and we both have boots. We are just alike right dad?"
"Yeah buddy just alike."
"I want to do everything you do. That's why I have been watching you."
"That's fine Parks but don't say that word. It's a bad word and Bones doesn't like it."
"Okay Daddy can we go in and see mommy now?"
He was unbuckled and out the door before Booth had the chance to reply.
XXXX
Parker and Booth walked through the sliding glass doors and saw Angela making her way to the platform. Parker let go of his dad's hand and took off towards her.
"Aunt Angela! Aunt Angela!"
As Parker hugged her legs she picked him up. Booth was now at their side.
"Hey little Booth, you have an extra day with your dad?"
"Yeah we went to the zoo and saw the monkeys, elephants, birds, lions, and dolphin! We won a present for mommy but you can't tell her."
"I promise."
"Alright Parks lets go see Bones."
Angela put Parker down saying "Bye little Booth. Have fun."
As she walked away she heard Parker say "See Dad Aunt Angela calls me little Booth because I'm just like you."

Brennan was sitting at her desk writing a summary of her findings on another body from limbo when she heard footsteps approaching her office quickly. Brennan stood up and faced the door when they came to a stop. Standing in her doorway was an out of breath, big smiling, Parker Booth. His eyes and smile grew wider when they made eye contact.
"Mommy" Parker said excitedly as he was running towards her. Brennan smiled as she bent down to catch the running boy. When he ran right into her arms she picked him up.
"Hi baby. I've missed you."
Parker laid his head on her shoulder. "I love you mommy and missed you too." Brennan squeezed him as she told him she loved him too. At that point Booth walked into her office. She walked over with Parker still resting in her arms.
"Hi Booth" she kisses him.
"Hi Bones" he said with a smile.
"What are you two up to?"
"We came here to see if you wanted to go get milkshakes" Parker piped in.
Booth gave her his charm smile.
"Sure why not. I'll just tell Cam I'm taking the rest of the day off to spend some time with my Booth boys." Brennan went to place Parker onto the ground when he held on tight and said with a tear-filled voice "No mommy I just want you to hold me please."
Brennan could tell that Parker was on the verge to tears and told him okay. One tear slipped out of his eye and Brennan felt it soak into her shirt. Walking towards Booth while running a hand over Parkers hair she mouthed to Booth asking if Parker was ok. Booth whispered into her ear "He's tired and needs a nap and he really misses not being able to see you a lot. He loves you very much." Brennan fought back the tears in her eyes and they all headed towards Cam's office.
Parker was asleep in Brennan's arms before they made it to the car. They decided to go straight home and let Parker nap. They would do something special for dinner.
XXXX
When they arrived home it was 12:30. They put Parker into his bed then headed back downstairs. Brennan snuggled up to Booth's side when they sat on the couch.
"What are we going to do for the rest of the day?" Brennan asked.
Booth kissed her forehead and replied "Well when Parker wakes up I was thinking that him and I could play some soccer, then take a quick swim, then figure out what we want to do for dinner."
"That sounds good Booth because I have some work I want to do outside."
"Awesome" he smiled then kissed her lips. For the next hour they made-out on the couch like a couple of horny teenagers.
XXXX
At 1:45 Brennan was standing at the kitchen counter with Booth's arms wrapped around her waist from behind. He was placing tiny kisses and nips to her neck when they hear Parker coming down the stairs. Booth stepped next to her with his back leaning on the counter when Parker walked in.
"Hey buddy did you have a nice nap?" He nodded yes and Booth scooped him up.
"How about we change into our play clothes then play some soccer while Bones does some work outside?"
"I'm going to beat you again dad!"
"We'll see about that" the boy's said as they walked out of the kitchen.
XXXX
The boys played while Brennan worked in the garden. Parker kicked the soccer ball really hard and he just missed the net sending the ball flying behind the garage.
"I'll get it Parks just stay here."
Booth went to find the ball. Picking up the ball he leaned back against the wall thinking about what Parker had said in the car earlier. Taking a deep breath he folded his hands, closed his eyes, and bowed his head and began to pray.
"Dear God, I'm trying to be the best father to Parker but sometimes I slip up. Please forgive me for the foul words that I have spoken and watch over my family as we grow closer and closer together. Lord please help me, help my stupid self. Amen"
XXXX
Parker thought that his dad was taking too long to find the ball so he went over to help. When he stuck his head around the corner he saw his dad praying and decided to leave him alone. So he ran over to where Bones was in the garden.
"Mommy, can we go swimming now?"
"Sure sweetie. Are you and your dad done playing soccer?"
"Yes, it's too hot out to play anymore."
"That's true it is hot so why don't you head to your room to change and you dad and I will change too."
"Awesome you're going to swim with us too?"
"Yup"
Parker liked the sound of that and ran into the house to change.
XXXX
Booth, Brennan, and Parker had been playing in the pool for quite some time now.
"What do my two handsome boys want to do for dinner?" Brennan asked.
"How about we go out to dinner" Booth suggested.
"Can we go to pizza planet? Moms never been there before please" Parker said.
"What is a pizza planet?" Brennan asked confused.
"You'll just have to wait and see Bones."
XXXX
Dinner was a blast. Parker and Booth made it another night Brennan would never forget. Walking back into the house they were relieved to be home again.
"Parker go get ready for bed. I'll be in there to say goodnight in a minute" Booth said.
A few minutes later Booth entered Parkers room. He turned around and plugged in the Scooby-doo nightlight. Parker quietly crawled out of bed and got down on his knees. Booth watched as he closed his eyes and folded his hands then started to talk to God as if they were best friends. When Parker was done he climbed back into bed.
"Parker where did you learn to pray like that?"
"I've been watching you Dad. I want to be just like you. Eat all my food so I can be as tall as you. We both like to fix things and hold mom's hand. I want to do everything you do."
With tears in his eyes Booth wrapped him in a hug and said "My little boy is growing up."
"When I'm big Dad I'll still know what to do because I have been watching you. If I eat all of my food I'll be as strong as Superman so we will be just alike right Dad?"
"Yes Parker, just like me. I love you."
"I love you too. Goodnight."
"Goodnight pal." Booth started to walk towards the door.
"Oh Dad! Can you give mom a kiss goodnight kiss for me?"
"Okay I'll be happy to" Booth laughed as he shit the bedroom door.
He walked down the hall to find Bones getting ready for bed. Walking up behind her he placed his hands on her shoulders and gently turned her around. Booth smiled down at her then cupped her face in his hands. Bending down he kissed her passionately on the lips then pulled away.
"That's from Parker. He told me to give you a goodnight kiss."
"You better be careful about how much you kiss me now…since Parker is watching you."
"Wait how did you know that?"
"I heard you two talking when I walked by."
Booth stood there staring at her. She smiled then said "Come on lets go to bed Superman." Brennan let out a tiny laugh. She got under the covers and Booth followed.
"Goodnight Superman."
"Don't call me that."
"You will get used to it just like I did" Bones said with a 100 watt smile on her face.
"Fine but Parker does have one thing right."
"What would that be?"
"We both like to hold mom's hand." Booth grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him and they cuddled together until they fell asleep.
Yeah sorry that was long. I'm thinking about doing a story that is based off of this chapter. What do you guys think?
