The Push in the Partnership
Chapter 10
They ate their lunch, with Parker leading the conversation. This time, though, the topic was received much easier. "We went outside yesterday and looked for rocks," Parker told them. "It wasn't as fun as Mrs. Hunter said it was going to be. But, Kimberlyn picked up this one rock that was almost as big as her hand and she found a really long worm." He started laughing, "And then she screamed so loud that Mrs. Hunter thought she got hurt. It was so funny."
Booth looked across the table at him and smiled at his enjoyment. Most days all he needed to make his day better was some time with his son. The thought made him think of the possibility of more children. And the woman who apparently still wanted to have his baby. He flicked his glance over to his partner to find her looking at him. He smiled at her and she smiled back, holding each other's gaze.
"Are you guys having a moment?"
Booth and Brennan turned their heads to look at Parker who was eyeing them with speculation. "Where did you hear that?," Booth asked him.
"Angela."
Booth sighed and looked around the table at the empty plates. "Let's go." He ushered them outside, stepping close to Brennan and saying, "We need to have that talk, Bones. Don't forget." Brennan nodded. "But first we need to muzzle Angela." She shot him a confused look, and he said, "Never mind, Bones," with a chuckle.
Booth drove them to his apartment and pulled into his parking space. "And here we are."
"Booth, are you sure you don't mind me being here? I don't want to intrude on your opportunity to bond with Parker."
Before Booth could answer, Parker appeared between the front seats. "Bones, we are going to play Wii, not do bonding. And you have to stay, 'cause I want to show you that I can beat Dad at MarioKart."
Booth grinned at her. "Yeah, Bones, you have to stay to watch me beat Parker at MarioKart."
