"So Parker is supposed to teach me to throw a ball?" Brennan rolled her eyes and grunted. "I can throw a ball, Booth."

"No, now please just watch."

"And what is in it for me?"

"You love Parker, right?"

"Of course."

"Then go mend his broken heart."

She opened the car door but he quickly reached over her and shut it. "Bones!"

"You said..."

"Just watch..."

Just as she turned her body she caught Parker slowly handing a girl a cookie then blushing.

"We really are going to have a problem on our hands." She spoke, smiling.

"Hush!" He thrust his finger forward.

The girl was eating the cookie then ran away to a group on the other side of the playground. Leaving Parker without a cookie and the girl. He turned his back to them but as his small frame shook, they could tell he was crying.

She looked over at Booth and he nodded. She slowly opened the door and walked to the distraught little boy. She wasn't his mother, what was she going to say?

"Hey Park." She smiled at the boy.

"Hey Dr. Bones." The boy smiled back through tear filled eyes.

"Girls are stupid." He muttered then realized she was a girl, "No you, you're smart."

"Girls ARE stupid, though Parker." She knelt down and brought him into an embrace.

"What? But you are a girl..." The boy was clearly shocked.

"Sometimes girls do not know what they have until they loose it. Girls can be stupid and still be intellectually smart."

"Oh. They are smelly too." He added for good measure.

She chuckled as she picked up the boy.

"So I am smelly?"

"No! Well I think you smell funny sometimes but Daddy says you smell heavenly."

"Oh, he does?"

"Yep. I would rather smell burgers though. Burgers are good. You know that right?"

She nodded as he clung tighter to her.

"How about we take Daddy to dinner? We can order burgers and test that theory."

"Really?" His eyes widened.

She nodded and kissed his forehead.

"I really like theories" He paused and looked up at her, "and girls really aren't that bad. Especially when they are Dr. Bones."

"One day you will find someone and it will be magical." She looked down to find him sleeping in her arms.

"Have a good talk?" Her husband smiled as he took the boy from her.

"Girls are stupid and smell." She leaned in and kissed him lightly.

"Is that so?" He locked eyes with her and smiled.

"But burgers fix everything."

"And experiments." Parker spoke then rolled over.

"So Bones made it all better, Bub?"

The boy nodded as he quickly fell fast asleep.

"Booth," she pulled on his shirt, bring his lips to hers, "we have a burger experiment to attend to."
