That Great Love

Parker ended up staying the night. Bones didn't mind at all. Rebecca didn't call Booth or Brennan. They really don't know why she didn't pick him up, she just didn't. Booth promised he would call her in the morning. He wasn't about to call her at two in the morning, when he got home. He was surprised to find Parker on the couch.
He climbed into bed with Bones. He was trying not to wake her. She woke up and cuddled into him. "I tried calling Rebecca, but she didn't answer. I didn't know if it was because she didn't want to talk to me or not. He was no trouble. How was the case?"
"Honestly, I think Wendell is going to need your help. Not that Wendell isn't good, but this one seems so odd." Booth started kissing her. Within a few minutes, they were making love. Booth didn't care about sleep.
The next morning, Brennan got Livi up and Parker ready for school. She drove him herself. She didn't want to wake Booth.
On the car ride to school, Parker looked worried. "My Mom has never not called before. I am getting worried about her."
"She probably just didn't want to deal with me," Brennan tried to reassure the boy.
"No, Bones, she likes you. She didn't like Hannah. She used to call Hannah a copy of her if the toner was out. She knows that I have always loved you. I once told him I hated her. It was because I never met her. It was because I was missing you." Parker looked at Bones seriously. "If something bad happened to Mom, please get me from school early. I just don't have a good feeling."
"Parker, I promise you, if something really bad happened to her, I will get you. Don't look so negative. It might not be what you think at all." She pulled up to the school and put the car in park. She gave him a hug. She didn't want to kiss him in front of his friends. She knew that could be bad, especially for boys.
She went back home with Livi. They gently kissed Booth on each of his cheeks. "That has to be the best way to wake up." He smiled.
"I all ready took Parker to school. He is really worried about his Mother. Please try to call her again. Then, you should really go to work." She hated to tell him the work part.
"Bones, I am so grateful for you taking Parker to school. I thought I set the alarm on my phone." He kissed her and Livi back.
"You did, but you didn't move. I shut it off." She laughed. "I think everything wore you out. You deserve a little sleep, Booth."
"Yeah, but it's not like Rebecca not to call. I am going to try all of her numbers." He picked up his cell phone. "Rebecca, where were you? Parker's been worried. Honestly, Bones and I were worried, too. I see. Yes. Oh, I am so sorry. Yes. Okay. I will. Yes, we will take him for the rest of the week. Just get yourself together. Okay, no problem. Bye." He pushed the end button on his cell phone. "Bones, my ex girlfriend is crazy. Hannah somehow seduced Brent. Brent slept with her. It all came out last night. Apparently, instead of making me miserable, she is now making my family miserable. Brent felt guilty and told her the truth. They had a big blow out last night. Brent is moving out. Why would Hannah do such a thing?" He just couldn't believe it.
"She couldn't get to you, so she is getting to your son and your son's mother. Brent, unfortunately, was an easy target. I am sorry she did this to Rebecca. No wonder she didn't want to talk to anyone. She was in the middle of fighting with Brent." It all made sense to her now.
"She asked if we could take Parker for the rest of the week. I said sure, I hope you don't mind. She wants to get Brent's stuff out and make the house just theirs' again. Get all the trace of him out." Booth remembers when it was him. However, he didn't cheat on Rebecca. He just wanted to marry her.
"I would love to take Parker for the rest of the week. However, until we decide upon a bigger place, perhaps I could buy a hideaway mattress for him? What's his favorite character right now?" She felt odd saying it, but she wanted this relationship. However, her apartment and his apartment were both too small if they had Parker over.
"You want to move in together?" Booth asked with the biggest cheesiest grin on his face.
"You are here every night. It is good that you don't have a pet; it would have died last week. I am only being rational. I would need sheets for the mattress, so which character?" She didn't want him getting all cocky on her.
"Rational, huh? Would you think it was rational if I wanted to adopt Livi with you?" He asked, almost holding his breath.
She was taken aback. "Really? You want to adopt her with me?"
"She calls me Dada. I take that title very seriously. I am not rushing us. I am just being honest with you." He didn't want her running for the hills or some unknown country.
Instead, she had a few tears running down her cheek. "I can get it arranged. Of course you take that title seriously. You are a good father to Parker. Why wouldn't you be to Livi?"
He kissed them both. "Olivia Brennan Booth. It sounds like a good name."He was smiling.
"No, Booth, I have a problem with that. First of all, Olivia's middle name is Marie. I wish to keep that the same as what her birth mother gave her. Her last name should be Booth, just Booth. It is common in this society that children take their father's name. Brennan isn't even technically my name. Her last name should be Booth."
Booth must have done something good, because he felt karma paying him back for something. He couldn't believe that Bones wanted Olivia to have his last name. Of course, she used anthropology for the reasoning, but it was still valid to her. "Okay, Bones, whatever you want. Oh, and Iron Man. Parker is totally into Iron Man because of the second movie." She kissed him and then he felt bad because he had to go to work. He didn't realize she was waiting to go with him.
