When Booth picked up Parker, he pulled Rebecca aside and told her of his relationship. They had gotten past their problems and he hoped she would be happy for him. He did not however, expect her reaction. She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Seeley Booth, it is about time. I was seriously beginning to worry that you two would never do this on your own."
He smiled shyly. "Bones isn't like…"
"I know Seeley; she isn't like the rest of us. I am glad she is your choice and I know she takes Parkers welfare as seriously as you and I do." Booth smiled at her
"Dad, Dad, ready, I have all my stuff in the car. Are we going to see Bones, I have to tell her about my science test."
Booth smiled at Rebecca one last time as he followed Parker out to his SUV. "Hey bud, how would you like to go to Bones first and you can talk to her about your test?"
Parkers face lit up, "Yeah Dad, I haven't seen her in a long time and I think she will be really happy."
Booth and Brennan had decided to stay at her place while Parker was visiting, but it also gave Booth the option to take Parker back to his place if he didn't accept their relationship.
Booth let him and Parker into the apartment without thinking. "Dad, why didn't you knock on the door?"
"Bones knew we were coming, why make her get up to let us in when I have a key." Parker shrugged it off when he saw Brennan.
"Bones" Parker ran over and hugged her. "I have missed you; it has been a long time. Let me find it, I have my last science test and I think you will be happy with it." Parker started to dig into his backpack looking for the test.
"Parker you are very intelligent, I am sure you did wonderful on your test." Parker found the test and handed it to her, watching her closely as she looked at his grade. "Parker you got an 'A'. I am so proud of you." She grabbed him and pulled him to her hugging him and giving him a kiss on the forehead. Parker was beaming at his father.
"Hey Bud come over here, Bones and I want to talk to you." They sat down on the couch side by side and had parker sit on the coffee table."
Sometimes Booth forgot that Parker was not 4 years old anymore, he was almost 11 years old and he was able to pick up on things. Parker looked from Booth to Brennan something was different about them.
"Bud" Booth was rubbing his hands together trying to find the words to tell Parker of the change in his and Bones relationship. "You know Bones and I have been friends and partners for a long time, right?" Parker nodded "Well, sometimes…"
"Dad, are you and Bones dating?" Booth looked back and forth between Parker and Brennan, the matter of fact look on Parkers face and the amused look on Bones' face.
When Booth couldn't seem to form words it was Brennan that answered. "Yes, Parker, you father and I have started to date. We wanted to make sure you were okay with it, you are very important to both of us."
Parker got up and caught Bones in a bear hug knocking her backwards on the couch. Giggling Bones said, "I take that as a yes you are okay with it?"
"Heck yeah Bones, don't know why it took Dad so long, I wanted him to date you a long time ago." Booth jaw hit the floor and his eyes were wide as he looked at his son.
Parker pulled away from Brennan and hugged his Dad. "Glad you finally figured it out dad, but if it was that hard you could have asked me. I knew Bones was your girlfriend not long after I meant her." Booth just laughed a nervous laugh at his son and glanced over at Brennan.
"Parker, come help me get your stuff out of the SUV then, we will be staying here and Bones has fixed up the guest room for you. I bet if you talk to her really nice she will let you put up your posters with glue."
"I heard that." Parker and Booth bolted out the front door laughing all the way to the elevator.
"Hey Bud, right now only the people at the lab know about me and Bones. We are going to finish up this case we are working on before we tell the FBI. So if you could keep that secret for a while, it would mean a lot to Bones and me." Parker shrugged and nodded at his dad.
"Dad, when did you move in with Bones?"
"I haven't, we have been alternating which place we stay at. And this week we thought if you liked the idea of us, that you might enjoy being able to use the pool and if you didn't, you and I could have went to my place."
"What would you have done if I would not have liked this?"
"I don't know Bud, I love her. I am really glad you are happy. You and I come as a package deal, both of us are happy with it or it won't happen."
"Then, why did you stay with Hannah?"
Booth froze when Parker asked him that. "You didn't like Hannah?"
"Not really, she was okay. Dad I felt like she was pretending with me all the time, like she was trying to make me like her. Bones never did that, she never tried to be something she wasn't."
"I didn't realize you disliked Hannah so much, I am sorry Bud I missed that. But you are right, she isn't Bones and Bones never pretends."
"So Dad, are you going to move in with Bones?"
"I think we will when we figure out which place will work the best for us or decide we need a different one. But give us time; this whole dating thing is pretty new to us."
"Dad, you and Bones have been dating for years, just not normal dating." Booth stared at his son. How did he pick up on this stuff?
Parker got settled into 'his' room and Booth called for pizza. While he was on the phone, Brennan walked into the kitchen and he couldn't help but smile while watching her. She looked up at him and he held his arm up and she walked over and tucked herself into his side and leaned up and kissed him lightly on the cheek. After he finished with order the pizza, he wrapped his other arm around her and started to kiss her, stroking her hair until.
"Ewww, Dad, do you have to do that in the kitchen?"
Brennan stifling a giggle buried her head in Booth's chest. "Hey Bud, get use to it. I plan on doing a lot of it."
Parker gave his Dad a sour face, "Could you at least warn me?"
"Sorry, Bud I am in love and don't have time to send out the message that I want to kiss my girlfriend." Booth thought for a moment, he didn't show this much affection to any woman he dated in front of Parker. So all this would be foreign to him. He made a mental note that he needed to sit Parker down and talk to him about a few things and why they were different with Bones over anyone else he dated.
Parker just shook his head, "Bones can't you help me?"
"Not this time Parks, I kind of like the kissing."
"Kind of?" Booth looked at her with a pout "Only Kind of? I need to work on my delivery."
The door bell rang "End of this conversation, pizza is here." Brennan announced.
