Thanks for the reviews. I appreciate it.
I don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Rebecca had called and asked Booth to pick up Parker Friday afternoon , after school was over for the day and soccer practice was over. Parker was going to be staying with Booth for the weekend and Rebecca was going on a weekend trip with her husband. Happy to have Parker with him for an extra half day, Booth happily agreed.
As soon as he got off of the phone with Rebecca, Booth walked into the kitchen to talk to Brennan and give his good news about Parker.
Brennan had found herself craving lemonade and was busy squeezing lemons when Booth found her. Walking up behind her, Booth placed his arms around her and rested his chin on her right shoulder. "That was Rebecca on the phone. She wants me to pick up Parker after school tomorrow afternoon. We get him for an extra half day."
Her hands filled with lemon halfs, Brennan nodded her head. "Is it still your plan to tell Parker about us tomorrow or do you wish to tell him tonight?"
Booth kissed Brennan on the cheek and let her go. Walking over to the side of the counter, Booth picked up a lemon and rolled it around on the counter. "I think it's time, Bones. I didn't like you staying in your apartment all alone the last time I had Parker for the weekend. It's time we told him that we're living together so we don't have to sleep in different apartments when he's around, so tonight. I'm going to tell him tonight."
Reaching out and placing her hand on Booth's lemon, Brennan reminded him, "I didn't like sleeping by myself either. I'm use to sharing my bed with you and I don't like sleeping alone anymore. It's very . . . disconcerting. I hope Parker . . . I hope he will accept our news."
Booth knew Brennan was nervous about Parker's reaction to their news. "You know Parker loves you, Bones. He's a good kid and I know he'll be happy for us. I also know he'll be happy when we tell him he has a baby brother or sister on the way. He's hinted around enough to Rebecca and me that he wants a brother or sister, so this can only be a good thing. you'll see. He's going to be happy."
Reassured, Brennan nodded her head. "He's just like you. He wants a bigger family. I'm glad that we can finally give that to him."
Stepping closer to Brennan, Booth placed his hands on her hips and kissed her. "Did I tell you that I love you today?"
His kiss just what she had wanted, Brennan returned his kiss and stared into his warm chocolate eyes. "I believe you told me that twice this morning when I couldn't get you to get out of bed. You almost made us late for work."
Wiggling his eyebrows, Booth gave her his full wattage charm smile. "If you'll go to bed with me right now, I'll tell you three times that I love you and maybe . . . just maybe we can get you an orgasm or three."
Her lemony hands on each side of Booth's neck, Brennan laughed. "With an offer like that, how can I refuse?"
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Parker had run to the truck the minute he had seen his Dad's SUV. Hopping into the truck, Parker grinned at his father. "Hey, Dad. I think it's neat that Mom is letting me stay with you tonight. This is so cool."
Amused, Booth loved that his son liked to stay with him when he could. "Yeah, Parks it is . . . Oh hey, Bones wants to know if you want to eat Pizza or Chinese food tonight. She's going to pick up whatever you want on the way home."
Pleased that they were going to eat take-out, Parker thrust his fist in the air. "Cool . . . I'd like Pizza. Can we have spinach pizza this time? I really liked it the last time Bones bought it."
Squinting his eyes at Parker, Booth was a little shocked at this revelation. "Really? You weren't kidding when you told her that the last time we had pizza?"
His thoughts on pizza and made playing some video games later, Parke assured him. "No, Dad. I'd never had that before and I thought it was really good."
Shrugging his shoulders, Booth took his phone out of his pocket and called Brennan to her let her know about Parker's choice.
"Hey, Bones, Parker said he'd like spinach pizza tonight."
"Alright, would you like spinach pizza too?"
Laughing, Booth found that very funny. "Me? No way, Bones. I want a pizza with everything on it, but the kitchen sink. Well, no anchovies and no spinach, but everything else."
"Ok, I'll buy you the house special. That should take care of the everything request. Have you told Parker about us yet?"
Shaking his head, Booth kept his eyes on the road ahead. "Not yet. I'll see you later tonight, Bones."
"You're not going to tell me you love me . . . are you?"
Blushing Booth realized that he was letting Brennan down. "The hell I'm not. I love you Bones. I'll see you tonight." Ending his call, Booth started his truck and pulled out into traffic. As he pulled away from the school he glanced at Parker to see how he was reacting to his vow of love towards Brennan.
Parker, who had been only half listening to his father, sat up straighter when he heard his Dad tell his partner that he loved her and thought about it for a few minutes. "Wow, Dad. Really? . . . you love Bones?"
Looking down at the steering wheel momentarily and then at Parker before looking back at the road, Booth decided that he was happy and his son need to understand that. "Yep. Bones and I are living together now. We love each other and we want to spend the rest of our lives together."
So happy for his father, Parker wiggled in his seat in his exciment. "That's awesome, Dad . . . Mom told me that you'd probably tell me this time since you didn't do it the last time."
Confused, Booth shook his head and glanced at his son and then back at the road. "What? What do you mean?"
Parker couldn't help it and laughed at his father. "Mom said that when you broke up with Hannah that it would probably take a little while, but she said you'd probably take your head out of the ground soon and see that Bones loves you. Mom says you love Bones a lot and you were probably going to admit it soon. Mom's been saying that for weeks and I was supposed to act surprised when you told me . . . oops, surprise!"
Not sure how Rebecca knew, Booth kept his eyes on the road. "Your Mom said that I love Bones and Bones loves me?"
Parker wanted his father to be happy and he knew that his father hadn't been for a while. "Sure Dad . . . Mom was really upset when you started dating Hannah. When we heard about you breaking up with Hannah, Mom said she couldn't believe that you'd lasted that long. Mom told me not to get attached to Hannah because you and her weren't going to be together very long. She said that you loved Bones too much to marry Hannah."
Stunned, Booth stared at Parker and tore his gaze back towards the road.
Feeling uncomfortable, Parker shifted in his seat. "Mom wasn't wrong was she Dad?"
Shaking his head, Booth assured the boy, "No Parker . . . no, your Mom wasn't wrong. I guess I've been wrong for a long time, but not your Mom."
Puzzled, Parker shook his head. "What do you mean, Dad?"
Feeling a little sad that he'd wasted so much time, Booth decided he couldn't do anything about the past. "It means that besides Bones, your Mom is probably the smartest person I know. It also means that I need to start paying closer attention to your Mom when she tries to tell me stuff. She's a hell of a lot smarter than I am, that's for sure."
Laughing, Parker informed his father, "Mom says that all of the time."
Nodding his head, Booth reached over and ruffled Parker's hair. Quickly turning back to face the road, Booth turned his right turn signal on then reached over and turned the radio on. "Let's go home, Parker. Bones and I have something else we want to talk to you about after dinner tonight."
Oooooooooooooooooooo
