I made a few short revisions.

A/N: I just wanted to apologize in the delay of getting this chapter up. I am a high school student and I have a ton of work lately and I was also sick for a couple of days last week. I wanted to thank everyone for the reviews and support that I have recieved. The reviews I got for last chapter were the most reviews for a chapter yet.

Chapter 12

The three of them got off the bus and entered Downtown Disney. Booth realized that they hadn't eaten lunch, so he decided that they should eat at the Rainforest Café. "Hey Bones, Parker. We haven't eaten lunch yet, so let's eat at the Rainforest Café and we can shop and go to Disney Quest later."

"Okay." Bones and Parker said at the same time.

They entered the Rainforest Café, which was made to look and sound like a rainforest. There were fake animals and trees all around the restaurant, they waited for a couple of minutes and then they were seated. Parker was excited, looking all over the place trying to see everything.

They ordered their food and while they were waiting an indoor thunderstorm started. The thunderstorm scared Parker a little bit but once he realized that it wasn't real he had fun. Their food arrived shortly after and they ate quickly and then exited the restaurant.

Downtown Disney was full of shops and restaurants. It was designed like a boardwalk, there were restaurants and shops on one side and the other side was overlooking a lake.

The three of them spent about two hours going through all of the shops. They had tons of different shops, there was a Christmas shop, a sports shop, a plain Disney shop, and many others. Parker had fun looking at everything in the shops, he said he wanted everything he saw. Booth gave in a bought him some of the things he wanted. Bones enjoyed looking through the shops and bought gifts for Angela, Hodgins, and Zack.

After Booth purchased things in the last store he said "Let's go to Disney Quest now."

"Daddy, what's Disney Quest." Asked Parker.

"It's a place full of games that you can play." Booth said.

"Yay, let's go." Said Parker grabbing Booth's hand dragging him out of the store.

Bones was still just standing in the store staring at something not listening to the conversation. "Bones come on. Let's go." Said Booth. Bones still didn't hear Booth. "Bones are you okay?" asked Booth.

Bones still didn't say anything, so Booth, with Parker still holding his hand, walked over to Bones and touched her on the shoulder and said "Bones, are you okay?"

She didn't say anything, she just turned around and she had tears in her eyes. "What's wrong Bones?" Booth said.

"Do you see that book over there." Asked Bones pointing to the shelf. Booth just nodded. "Well that was the very first book I ever read by myself. It was my favorite book when I was younger, my mom and dad would alternate reading it with me every night. Then one night when I was about four years old I told my dad, that I wanted to try to read it by myself, and I did. I don't remember if I had just memorized it, or if I really read it, but I knew it was one of the happiest moments of my life. Both my mom and dad were there, I could tell they were so proud. But now I know after I went to bed, they left to do whatever it was they did. Why couldn't I just have a normal family?"

"Oh, Bones." Booth said pulling her close and wrapping his free arm around her giving her a hug. She wrapped her arms around him and just started to cry freely. "Shhh, it's okay."

"Daddy, what's wrong with her." Asked Parker looking worried because he didn't understand what was going on.

"She's just sad Parker, but we are going to try to cheer her up right?" said Booth.

"Yeah, I don't want her to be sad." Said Parker

Bones pulled away, wiping the tears from her eyes. "You going to be okay?" asked Booth.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Said Bones even though she was still visibly upset. Parker let go of Booth's hand and went over and hugged Bones. Bones was touched that he saw that she was upset and wanted to make her feel better. Bones picked Parker up and asked him "What are we doing now."

"We are going to Disney Quest and Daddy said that we have to cheer you up, so let's go." Said Parker

Bones forced a smile and with Parker still in her arms they started to walk towards Disney Quest. On the walk over, Parker fell asleep which left Bones and Booth to talk. "Bones are you really okay?" asked Booth.

"Yeah, I think so. Just seeing that book brought back the memories it was just really overwhelming. I mean those were the happiest moments of my childhood and just seeing that book brought back the happy moments. But afterward I remembered that probably after I read that book, my parents went out and did something illegal. The thought of that just put me over the edge."

"I'm sorry Bones." Said Booth.

"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything." Asked Bones.

"I'm sorry because you're hurting and I don't know how to fix it." Said Booth. Bones stopped walking, and turned to look at Booth.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault. For what it's worth, you just being here for me helps more than you know." Said Bones.

"I'll always be here." Said Booth as he took a step towards her. As he said that Bones felt the sudden urge to kiss him; she knew he would always be there for her, but did she want that kind of relationship with him? As she saw Booth move closer she realized he must feel the same way. She pondered the thought of kissing him for a few seconds, and then she realized that she would never know how she really felt until she tried.

She saw that Booth wasn't going to make the first move; she knew that he was afraid of scaring her off. So she made the move, she leaned in; her lips were the closest they could be to his without actually touching when they were interrupted by Parker's sleepy voice "Daddy, are we at Disney Quest yet?"

The moment they had seconds ago was gone, at the sound of Parker's voice they both jumped back. "Almost." Said Booth.

"Good." Parker said as he began to squirm trying to get out of Bones's arms. Bones released him and set him on the ground and the three of them continued toward Disney Quest.

They spent the over 3 hours in Disney Quest, they had fun playing games. They played Basketball Shooting games, air hockey, pinball, and other Disney related games. While they were inside playing, the awkwardness that could have been, wasn't there. They just had fun spending time with each other.

By the time they left Disney Quest, it was 6:00 and time for dinner. They decided to go eat at Planet Hollywood which was also in Downtown Disney. Planet Hollywood was full of pop culture memorabilia, so most of the dinner was spent with Booth explaining things to her.

After they ate dinner they caught a bus back to The Boardwalk and before they went up to their hotel room, they stopped and got some ice cream. They finished their ice cream and then went back to the hotel room.

It was only about 7:30, so they decided to get ready for bed early and then watch a movie together. Booth gave Parker a bath and put him in his pajamas, then Booth and Bones got ready for bed and they all sat on Booth and Bones's bed looking for a movie to watch.

Booth flipped through the channels and then he stopped at a Star Wars movie. "Hey Bones, we are actually going to watch a movie you've see tonight."

"Really? What movie?" asked Bones?

"Star Wars Empire Strikes Back." Said Booth.

"Wow. I haven't seen that movie in years." Said Bones getting excited.

"What is your favorite Star Wars movie." Asked Parker.

"This one." Said Bones "What about you Booth?"

"I like Return of the Jedi." Said Booth. "Parker what is your favorite movie?"

"I like the newest one, Revenge of the Sith." Said Parker.

"They made more?" asked Bones.

"Yeah, they made three prequels. The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith." Said Booth.

"I never saw those movies." Said Bones. "Were they good?"

"I thought that the three earlier ones were better, but when we get back to D.C. we will have a Star Wars movie night when we stay up all night watching the three new movies." Said Booth.

"Really?" asked Bones.

"Yeah, we'll stay up all night, eat a ton of junk food, and then call in sick the next day so we can sleep." Said Booth.

"Why don't we just call in sick one day instead of staying up all night?" asked Bones.

"Because Bones, that is not how you have movie marathons. Just trust me okay." Said Booth.

"Okay." Bones said.

They watched the rest of the movie in silence, Parker falling asleep about half way through like he did every night. After the movie they decided they should go to bed, they had a stressful day.

They both laid down in bed, each on their respective sides. They both couldn't fall asleep, what had almost happened earlier was going through their minds. Bones turned over so she could look at him and saw that Booth wasn't asleep and said "I'm sorry about freaking out earlier."

"Bones you never have to apologize about that. It's been hard the past couple months with your dad and brother leaving again. It's only natural that there would be some memories that would be painful." Said Booth looking at Bones.

"It just makes me feel like I'm not strong. I know I have to be, or else I think I will just completely fall apart. That scares me because I know once I leave here we won't be spending every moment with each other. Once I we get back to D.C. I will be alone again." Said Bones.

"Bones, I promise you that when we go back to D.C. my cell phone will be on all the time. If you have a problem just call me and I'll come over no matter what. You will never really be alone." Said Booth

"Thanks Booth." Bones said moving towards him giving him a hug.

"No problem Bones." Booth said kissing her on the forehead. They just stayed there, holding each other, both drifting asleep in each other's arms.

A/N: Yes, I change the name of the restaurant; I meant to write Planet Hollywood, not the Hard Rock Café, which is what I get for writing this at midnight. There actually is a Rainforest Café in Downtown Disney, there is also one in the Animal Kingdom. Again I apologize for the delay in getting this chapter up. I hope to get a chapter up once a week, I'm sorry about the less frequent updates but I'm hoping that school will settle down once again and I can update more often.
