Parker's Help
End of chapter nine: A surprise for Booth.
The plan had been for Bones to have her bed and Booth to have the couch. Upon his return to the living room to carry Bones to her bed before making up the cough bad for him self he was shocked. Standing rooted in the middle of the room was Bones. He could clearly see the fear in her eyes. What the fear was from or why it was there he wasn't sure yet but quickly told him self he would find out.
"Bones, what happened? Is everything okay?" Not getting an answer he looked around the room for a clue. Her phone was lying beside her purse unmoved. The doors and windows still appeared to be locked. But one look at her told him there was something he was missing.
Chapter ten: Bad Dreams
Bones didn't move as she noticed his eyes checking the room. There was an almost eerie still that had settled over the room. Not seeing any immediate danger his eyes returned to the woman standing before him.
"Bones?" his heart was now beating out of his chest.
"Booth?" She whispered like coming out of a haze. He watched her eyes dawn with understanding of where she was and who he was. The fear disappeared and was replaced momentarily with a look of longing. It was a look he knew all to well on him self.
"Bones are you alright?" taking a deep breath she slowly let it out.
"Booth is Parker alright?" It was his turn to take a deep breath.
"Yes Bones he's okay. Is there something I can do for you?"
Neither one of them had moved since he re-entered the room. Bones started to slowly making her way to towards her bedroom but, paused just for a second out side Parkers door to look in on him. Then continued to her room. Booth had seen the concern for his son in her eyes as she looked in the door. Knowing that something wasn't right but not knowing what it was he pulled out the couch and made up his bed. Bones had brought him out a blanket and a pillow before after Parker was in bed and set them in a chair.
'What is eating at Bones? Does it have to do with Parker? Is she in danger?' Booth ruled out the last one telling himself if she was in danger he would know about it right. They had been partners far to long for him not know if she was or wasn't. The two other were harder to answer. His mind went back over the day. Parker and Bones had seemed so happy throughout all four of the musicals. He couldn't put his finger on a time that something bad had happened that day. Not finding any answers he was surprised a few hours later when he awoke to the feeling some one touch his shoulder. Turning around he saw his son with tears in his eyes.
"Little man what's wrong?" quickly sitting up and opening his arms to his son. Parker had bad dreams a lot as a child but for the last few years they had mostly gone away. Now though something was troubling him and Booth wanted to know what was going on. First Bones was in a trance and now Parker was upset. Was there a message in the musicals that he missed?
"Bad dream bud?" Not getting an answer he looked down at the child in his arms.
'He's not a child anymore, but when he's asleep he still looks like my little boy. What's going on?' Seeing his son asleep safely in his arms he told himself to find out later and enjoy the rare time of holding his teenage son. It was around three am that he heard a noise that awoke him. It was more of a yelp then anything. Instantly awake and knowing that sound came form his partner he quickly and gently removed himself from his son and ran down to her room.
Her door was ajar and he could see her laying on the bed. Wishing he had his gun but knowing it was with his son in the other room he readied himself for a hand to hand fight with who ever was hurting her. However what he found surprised him. Bones was laying on her bed alone in her room. After checking the window and the doors in the room quickly he noted that no one was there. Looking at the bed he saw that she was still asleep. As he turned to go he heard her yelling his name louder this time and with more urgency in her voice. But she wasn't only yelling his name she was yelling for him. In her dream she was scared of something and calling out to him. Not taking the time to understand what was going on he turned and laid his hands on either side of her body.
"Bones, Bones, I'm right beside you. Come on open your eyes." As if on cue her eyes shot open as her body shot towards him. Not moving away Booth watched as she tried to slow down her breathing and grasp what was really happing.
"Booth is Parker alright?" Bone's shaky voice asked.
"He is fine Bones. Its you I was worried about." The words he spoke along with his hand going to her hair to pull her to his chest made her momentarily forget the nightmare and cling to her White night in full FBI amour as Angela had called him on more then one occasion. Before she knew what was happing Booth had taken a chance. Brennan found her head resting against his shoulder and her body being carried to her living room.
"Booth what are you doing?" She asked giving a weak wiggle to get free but not truly trying hard to leave the safety of his arms.
"Its like this. I need to sleep. Parker is on the couch bed with me. I could take the chance of moving him and waking him up or I could move you into the bed with us." Booth's words cut thought her foggy mind. What she didn't hear was his whisper of I need you with me too.
"Booth, there's not enough room for us all three on that pull out bed." Bone's rational mind kept screaming how bad of an idea this was but her heart and body where not listing.
"It will be okay Bones. Now lay down and get some sleep Parker and I are safe right beside you." With his son on his right side and his partner on his left the small group settled down for a long nap. Bones stirred a few times but after an hour she was once again sound asleep. Leaning over them both and placing kisses to there foreheads Booth found it hard for him to find sleep once more.
A few hours later Booth found himself awake again. This time his son was spooned at his back and his very attractive partner had placed herself into his arms. The years of hiding his feelings from her had given him the control he needed to hold his body in check but having her shapely rear pressed to his morning arousal he didn't know quite how to handle.
A/N: What made Parker and Bones both scared? Was it like Booth said something in the musicals or something else? What does Booth do now with his son behind him and a very real Bones in front of him? Any ideas please let me know.
