Sosososo sorry! I forgot about my story and its all my teachers' fault! They all thought it would be just grand to make the last two days before break test days so I've been studying my ass off for every one of my tests and besides that, my sister has been hogging the computer whenever I did have time to write! Whatever...it's Christmas Eve and I'll be updating the rest of my story in three chapters today before the party tonight. Enjoy!
Chapter Eleven: Two Turtle Doves
"Daddy!" Parker shouted as his father pulled up in front of Parker's school. Booth stepped out and hugged his son.
"Hey, Parks! Merry Christmas, Buddy!" he said, patting the little boy on the head and taking his overnight bag from him.

"Uh-huh! I'm gonna give it to her at the Christmas party tomorrow!"
"Well that's nice. So, what did you get your old man?"
"Oh, I made Pops an ornament that says, 'Pops' on it."
"That's nice, but I wasn't talking about Pops...I was talking about me."
"Daddy!" Parker giggled. "I can't tell you what I got you! You have to wait until Christmas, just like everybody else!"
Booth gave a fake pout, like he'd seen Brennan use a million times on him, but Parker wouldn't bite.
"That only works for Bones, Dad...and only on you!" he added, laughing.

Next chapter will be up within minutes of this one, but please review this chapter individually anyways!
