THANKS you guys! You rock! I'm so glad that people like it! And my updates may take a little longer because it's starting to warm up and I'm also forced to spend more time outside. But I promise I'll keep working!
Be Be Your Love
Want to be your love for real.
Booth was in the kitchen when she walked home. "Hey sweetie." Booth walked over and gave Temperance a kiss. She smiled.
"What's cooking?" She hung up her purse and coat as she enjoyed the aroma of whatever was cooking. She saw the ring on her finger and smiled. She looked down at her over-sized stomach. She could hardly believe how big it was already, with her being only six months along.
"Spaghetti." Booth was back to the stove stirring what Temperance guessed was the noodles.
"Well, it smells wonderful." Suddenly a little girl poked her head out of her room. She had Temperance's eyes and Booth's hair. She was about four years old.
"Mommy!" The little girl ran over and hugged her mommy.
"And how's my little Rebecca today?" Temperance smiled at her daughter.
"Good. But Parker won't come out of his room. He says he's studying." The little girl rolled her eyes. Her brother was 12 and most likely talking to one of his friends online.
"I'm sure he is." Temperance smiled knowing her stepson was probably chatting online. "So, how was daycare?"
"Great! There was this new kid, he's really nice, and he asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I told him I was saving myself for later." Temperance smiled; her little girl was becoming more and more like her god-mom, Angela.
"Good choice."
"Dinner's ready!" Booth called. Rebecca jumped up into her chair while Parker slowly emerged from his room. He smiled as he saw that the meal was vegetarian. There was a bet at school that he couldn't live being vegetarian for more than two days. He was aiming for a week. His parents had been very supportive. Soon the whole family was seated and enjoying the delicious dinner.
"So, how was your day today?" Temperance asked Parker.
"Good. Mr. King piled on the homework, though. I hate it when he overloads us with science! Its easy enough, but we always have to lug home the huge book. This is more work than we've ever had to do!" Suddenly he smiled. "Is it going to be this much work when it's my job?"
"No." Temperance said making the boy smile. "It will be more. But you'll really enjoy it if it's what you really want to do." He nodded. He had decided to become a forensic anthropologist like his step mom. He loved it when she'd let him come with to the lab and help out in little ways. He was pretty smart, too, and often got into big debates about stuff with Hodgins and Zach. Zach was married to Nessa, and Hodgins was married to Angela, who was due in another five months.
"What am I going to be when I grow up?" Rebecca asked.
"What ever you want to be, honey." Booth smiled at his little girl.
"So I can be a movie star?"
"If you want. But there's plenty of time to talk about that later. Right now, it's time for supper." They family ate and discussed the going-ons of the day. Soon everyone was done and the kids retreated to their rooms. Booth started to clear the table.
"Here, let me help." Temperance picked up some plates and started loading them into the dishwasher.
"You don't have to." Booth was standing behind her holding two cups.
"But I want too. The sooner this is done…" She smiled suggestively at her husband. Booth smiled back, mostly because he knew nothing could convince her to stop. Soon they had completed the dishes. Temperance walked into the living room and flipped on the TV. She turned on one of the CSI reruns, partly because she liked knowing what her stepson was watching, and she really had grown to like it. Booth joined her on the couch, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"So, how was your day?" Booth asked as CSI began.
"Good. I mostly worked with limbo. I wrote a little today, too. Not sure if it's really that great, but it's a start." Temperance's last book (which had come out about a year ago) was a huge success, but her publisher had been drilling her for a new book.
"I'm sure it will turn out wonderfully. Russ called for you today." Booth said suddenly remembering the message he had received earlier. Russ had been wondering how his sister had been feeling lately. He also wanted to know if he and the girls could come by for a visit next weekend.
"How's he doing?"
"Good. He wants to know if he and the girls could come over for a while next week."
"That sounds fun." Temperance smiled as she thought of the seeing Russ's wife again. They were really close.
"That's what I told him. He'll be here around twelve Saturday." Temperance glared up at him and gently punched him in the arm.
"Without my input? He's my brother."
"Ahh, yes, but I know you so well I knew you'd say yes."
"Or you think you do."
"I do. You said yes."
"But will I always be so predictable." She waggled her eyebrows at him.
"Yep." Booth grinned at his wife. Suddenly Parker emerged from his room.
"Hey mom, dad, what's going on this Saturday?" Temperance and Booth glanced at each other.
"Nothing that I know of." Temperance answered.
"Well, do you think I could go to the movies with Rain?" He was talking about one of his best friends of the female type.
"Why?" Booth knew his son didn't usually go out much, unless it was to the arcade.
"She's been having a hard time and just wants to get out. So is it okay?"
"As long as it's not R. And I will be checking ticked stubs." Booth threw that in there even though he knew his son would never do anything like that.
"Mom?"
"Same thing with me."
"Thanks!" Parker rushed back to his room, where Rain was waiting online to hear the verdict.
"You're not really going to check the stubs." Temperance stated.
"Nope, but it keeps him on his toes." The two happily watched TV for a while when Temperance gradually began to fall back to sleep.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Hehe! Cliffie! What's really going on here? And if you can find out who the very special character is from another TV show (she doesn't act or have the lifestyle from that show, it's just their name) you might just get a sneak preview of what's happing next… :-D Please review!
