Thanks for the support on this one:) finally another update:D
Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.
The partners were silent for a few seconds.
"Look, we know it must be quite a shock." Booth began before he was interrupted by the two teens at once.
"A shock?" They asked on the verge of erupting in laughter. Tracey and Parker shared a look before looking back at the partners. At seeing the way the partners were seated, how close they were leaning to each other without knowing so it finally dwelled on them that the truth had been there all along and they hadn't seen it.
The two teens finally erupted in laughter at how blind they'd been and how much they wanted to get the partners together. How would it ever have happen with them being so clueless?
Tommy leaned across Booth's lap and tapped Brennan's arm. When he got her attention he shot her raised eyebrows, wanting to know what was wrong with the laughing teens.
Brennan and Booth shared another look.
"We'd like to," Brennan was cut off when Tracey and Parker both hugged her. They grinned at her before turning to hug Booth.
"Where's my hug?" Tommy asked when the two didn't make a move to hug him. Parker scooped him up and tickled him before Tracey also gave him hug to set him back down.
"Okay, you two. What's going on?" Booth asked with a smile of his own.
"We've been trying to get you two together!" Tracey laughed once again and Tommy decided to sit next to Brennan. He didn't see what was so funny.
"Explain." Brennan sent her a look, expecting details as to what she meant.
Tracey and Parker explained what they'd been trying to accomplish for quite some time now.
"When was it going to work if you two were already together!" Parker shook his head as he wrapped an arm around himself; he'd definitely worked out his muscles with laughter this afternoon.
The partners explained how their sentimental relationship came about and the why of keeping it secretly for a while.
Throughout their meal the talk continued, things finally falling on the same page on both parties.
"So, who was your candidate for secret boyfriend?" Booth asked as he himself more of Brennan's homemade Mac and Cheese.
"The publicist guy." Parker answered as he savored his food.
"Sounds reasonable. " Brennan commented and Tracey pointed out that he was flirty. Booth raised his eyebrows in fake jealousy and they all knew it.
"Oh, and Wendell."
"What?" Booth wasn't expecting that.
"Why?" Brennan asked. She only saw the doctor as a colleague and friend, but that was it.
Parker stated that he was a good candidate since he was a single guy and worked close to her at the lab.
Tommy had been busy with his food throughout the whole conversation, but when he heard about Wendell's lack of girlfriend he informed that Wendell liked the woman that worked with the mummies.
"Oh, buddy." Booth chuckled at the child's comment. Wendell sure had kept that one a secret.
"He looks at her like you look at Mommy." Tommy added and the teens smiled at the grin Booth shot Brennan.
B&B
"Booth…" Brennan instantly closed her lips as she noted that Booth and Tommy were both asleep. She quietly approached and removed the book Booth still clutched in his right hand. Tommy's head rested on the agent's chest as Booth hugged him close with his left arm. Brennan smiled at the sight. Before exiting the bedroom she covered the two with a blanket.
She found Tracey and Parker all set up in the living room, ready for 'movie night' as they called it.
"Where's dad?" Parker asked scooting over on the couch to make room for Brennan to sit. Brennan informed that both Tommy and Booth were asleep.
Brennan paid no attention to the movie. As she watched Parker and Tracey she felt at ease. Booth was right; there are different types of families.
Booth woke up in complete darkness. All was silent except for the soft breathing sounds leaving the sleeping boy. He carefully eased out of bed and made sure Tommy was covered with the blanket.
Booth quietly entered Brennan's bedroom, but she was instantly aware of his presence.
"Parker's asleep in the guest room." He nodded at her words and climbed in bed next to her.
"Guess I missed movie night." He chuckled softly. He was supposed to give Tommy his bath and read him a bedtime story while Brennan and the teens headed out for a movie. Apparently he dozed off along with Tommy.
Neither of the partners engaged in conversation and drifted back to sleep.
The sound of a phone ringing awoke him. Booth groggily leaned over Brennan and picked up the phone resting on her nightstand.
"Hello?" Booth's voice was still thick with sleep and he startled the early morning caller without knowing so.
"Who was it?" Brennan asked sleepily as Booth returned the phone to its place.
"Wrong number." He shrugged and hugged her close. "Morning, Bones." He whispered in her ear.
"Morning , Booth." They were sharing a smile, about to kiss when the phone rang again. Booth groaned but before he could answer the phone stopped ringing.
"Where were we?" He asked playfully as he once again leaned closer. The door to the bedroom opened and an excited Tommy announced that Grandpa was on the phone.
"Hi, Dad." Brennan greeted as soon as Tommy handed her the phone. Booth heard Max state with a chuckle how he must have dialed the wrong number on his first try because a man answered the phone. Brennan sent Booth a smile as she continued to listen to her father's words.
After breakfast a quick stop at Booth's apartment was needed so that he and Parker could change. Max, Russ and his family were coming back to DC after a hiking trip and were stopping at Brennan's for some catching up. A stop to the grocery store was in need for, according to Booth.
Tracey was wondering the aisles and though she knew Brennan and the others were just a few aisles away she couldn't help but feel there was a creepy feel in the air. The man that was apparently following her didn't help matters any.
Get a grip.
Maybe Hodgins had an influence after all with all his conspiracy theories talk.
Tracey turned the corner and bumped into a solid, muscled body.
"Whoah!" Booth joked as he draped an arm around her shoulders. Tracey relaxed at his proximity and reminded herself she was being paranoid.
No one's following me.
Booth said they were leaving already and asked her to help him find Parker and Tommy who were still wondering the aisles.
"Sure." They walked side by side and the girl instantly felt the creepiness slowly fade away.
Paranoid or not?...more to come soon;)
