3 B&B B&B EMILY B&B B&B LOVE ~ Loving Little Boy ~ LOVE B&B B&B EMILY B&B B&B 3

Parker Booth was currently sitting on the couch with his Dad and his new girlfriend Hannah. They were watching a movie or rather Parker was watching a movie; his dad and Hannah had been kissing non-stop and he knew that if he would walk away and into his room, his dad wouldn't even notice. He stood up and quickly grabbed his dad's phone before walking off and into his bedroom; when he got there he quickly dialled Brennan's number; Parker also noticed she wasn't on his speed dial anymore; he got a sad look on his face.

"Brennan." The voice of Dr. Temperance Brennan or known by Booth and Parker as Bones; though Parker thought his dad didn't deserve to call her Bones; he hated his dad for causing his favourite woman beside his mother so much pain.

"Hi Bones." Parker's voice was small and Brennan sat up straight.

"Parker, is everything alright? Are you hurt?" Parker got a big smile on his face; at least one person cared about him.

"I'm not hurt Bones, but can you come over?"

"Parker I can't you know what we talked about. You're dad has Hannah now, I can't just show up unannounced."

"Please..." His voice was quivering and Bones knew that little boy was in tears.

"Baby, why are you crying? Where is your dad?"

"Dad on the touch with Hannah; we were watching a movie or rather me; they have been kissing non-stop. I bet dad didn't even notice I left the room. I don't wanna stay here Bones; I want to stay with you."

"Parker, we talked about this..."

"Please? I'll call mom and let her know... please just come and get me Bones... please?" Parker had tears running down his cheeks and muffled his cries into his pillow.

"Alright I'll call your mom, you just stay put and don't tell your dad alright? I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"Thanks Bones, I love you."

"Love you too baby." They hung up and Parker lay on his bed; reading the book Brennan had gotten him when she came back.

3 BONES - BRENNAN - EMILY - BRENNAN - BONES 3

When Brennan hung up the phone with Parker she immediately called Rebecca; the two woman had become quite close since she came back from Maluku. Parker had called her a couple times when he stayed with his dad; asking if she could come and get him; he wanted to come home. Rebecca hadn't liked Hannah one bit and Brennan couldn't blame her. That woman had changed their Booth into a completely different person and they didn't like it one bit.

"Hi Tempe, is everything alright?" Rebecca answered.

"Hi Becca, Parker called me again." She could hear the woman sigh over the phone and closed her eyes.

"Tempe, we need to do something, this relationship that Seeley has, is affecting Parker both physically and mentally. He can't handle much more; his grades are slipping; he doesn't get the father/son time he needs and I don't like how he's become all quiet." Brennan took a deep breath.

"I know, but there isn't anything we can do. Listen I told Parker I would come and get him, but not to tell Booth. What should I do?"

"Leave it to me Tempe, I'll give Seeley a call, don't worry about it."

"No Becca, I can't have him be mad at you for something I do."

"No it's alright, I can't take it anymore and I need to get my words out to him. You can't do it but I can Tempe I will do everything for my son to make him feel better." Brennan took a deep breath again and a lonely tear rolled down her cheek.

"I know, so would I you know that..."

"I know, you love him like he is your own. Now go get him and I'll give Seeley a call. Can you please just call me when you get home so I know you both are safe?"

"Course, bye Becca."

"Bye Tempe." The two women hung up and Brennan pulled on a jumper and grabbed her purse before walking out of her apartment and getting into her car. Fifteen minutes later she pulled up at Booth's apartment and could hear Parker crying. She knocked on the door loudly and Hannah opened the door; Parker was standing in the hallway with tears rolling down his cheeks and his eyes were red and puffy. When he heard the door open and saw Bones he ran around his father who looked pissed off and ran into her arms. She lifted the boy to her chest and hugged him tightly; his arms wounding around her neck and his legs around her waist; she would feel him tremble and she looked at Booth madly for making her boy cry like this; for making him feel like this.

"What are you doing here?" Booth asked agitated.

"I'm here to take Parker home with me. He called me Booth, do you have any idea how upset he is; how upset you made him?" Booth's anger rose and he stepped forwards towards Brennan; who took instinctively a step back her hold on Parker tightening.

"You are not taking my son away from me on my weekend. You have no right."

"Actually I do; Rebecca's made me her emergency contact. She told me I could take Parker." Her voice stayed calm for Parker's sake but the anger was quickly rising.

"You are NOT taking my son." Brennan looked at Booth and shook her head.

"What's happened to you? Where is the old Booth, who couldn't wait for his son to be with him; to spend time with him? Where is the Booth that always made sure I ate and not stay at the lab to God knows what hour? Where is the Booth that cared for the people he worked with, but mostly who put his son first?" Booth was taken aback. "Parker is unhappy Booth, you are watching a movie but are you really watching?" She turned her gaze to Hannah. "Are you giving him your full attention? He called me crying Booth, said he wanted to come HOME; he wanted me to pick him up because he doesn't like to be here anymore; not since you came back. Now I'm taking Parker with me, if you'll excuse me." Booth was standing with his mouth open while Brennan passed him and walked into Parker bedroom. She appeared five minutes later with Parker's jacked around him; still in her arms and his bag. She walked to the front door; giving Hannah disapproving looks; before looking back at Booth. "You better change Booth, you better be the man you were before you met her; or you are going to lose not just me but you'll lose the squints; the people you claim your family AND Parker." She turned around and walked out the door and to her car. She put Parker in the backseat with his blanket and bear before hopping in herself and driving to her apartment.

It was fifteen minutes later when they arrived at Brennan's apartment; Parker had fallen asleep so Brennan carried him up. Once in her apartment she dropped his bags in her bedroom and put Parker on her bed. He tossed and turned seeking the warmth of Brennan before opening his eyes. Brennan could see the tears in them and she moved on the bed and took him in her arms without second thought. He cried softly in her shoulder; his body shaking with from the sobs.

"Why Bones?" Voice quiet and hoarse from crying.

"I don't know Parker. I really don't know." She buried her nose in his hair and hugged him to her tightly.

"I love you Bones, I'm very grateful that I've got you in my life; someone who understands and is there for me." Brennan had tears in her eyes and hugged Parker even tighter; his arms around her neck.

"I love you too baby, I'm very grateful I've got you too; you have no idea how grateful I am. I am always here for you okay; no matter what your daddy's says; if something's wrong and you need me I'm here okay baby?" Parker nodded his head and buried his nose in her neck.

"Can I have a shower mommy Bren?" Brennan smiled at the name; Parker had been calling her that ever since Booth started acting weird. She hugged Parker once more before breaking their embrace.

"Course you can, you don't even have to ask. You know when you're here you can just pretend you are at home, okay?"

"Okay mommy Bren." Parker kissed her cheek before hopping of the bed and getting some clean pyjama's and underwear before making his way into her bathroom, he left the door open and Brennan could hear the shower start. She lay back down on the bed; tears gathered in her eyes when she thought of Booth; the Booth she used to know. She didn't know how long she was laying on her bed, tears running down her cheeks; she didn't even hear Parker coming back into the room and sitting down beside her until she felt his head on her chest. Her hand went to his hair and waved her fingers through it soothingly while the other was on his back rubbing soft comforting circles.

"Don't cry mommy, he isn't worth it anymore." Parker told her sadly; he nuzzled closer into her chest and closed his eyes; sleep overtaking his little body within minutes, with the soothing hands of Brennan. She smiled at her boy and kissed his head before joining him into a peaceful sleep; or as peaceful as it could get.

It was around two am when Brennan got woken up by Parker; he was tossing and turning and whimpering for someone to help him. He accidently kicked her leg which woke her up; she turned on her bedside lamp and lifted Parker into her lap; rocking him back and forth. He woke up after two minutes with tears running down his cheeks. "You okay baby? You want to talk about it?" Parker shook his head and buried it in her chest.

"I don't want daddy to marry Hannah. I want him to become like he was before he met her; I want to spend the weekends with him like we used to with you." Tear gathered in her eyes and she wiped them away quickly. "I want my daddy back." He sobbed and the tears overspilled; Brennan had enough of this, she was going to take action and she was starting now. She grabbed her cell phone before pulling Parker closer to her. She dialled Booth's number and put it on loudspeaker so Parker could hear.

"Hello." Booth's groggy voice came.

"You know I would have thought you'd come here and burse into my apartment to get your son back. It's good to know that you think your son isn't the most important thing in your life and that you choose your..." She looked at Parker who was looking at her. "girlfriend. Parker's been crying ever since; he wants his old daddy back; the one who spend the weekends with him and give his all attention to him. You know I thought you would be the same; that maybe this was just a phase to get over me or something or to hurt me back; but this new man; I don't like him, to tell you the truth I hate him; everyone does. This has gone too far; and I don't care anymore what you do; just know that you lost both your son and your best friend or so I thought. Not only did you lose us but you lost Rebecca too. She is going to court and get full custody of Parker; and Booth I'm going to help her because you are not the man you used to be; you are not the loving father that gave his son his all attention and couldn't wait to spend time with him. Now Parker wants to say something and after that we will hang up and I don't want you anywhere near me or my family again." Brennan looked at Parker who took the phone.

"Daddy, I don't like how you are. Mommy Bren had been spending more time with me than you do and she's not even my real mommy. I don't like Hannah; she has changed you and you are not my daddy anymore." he finished a sob escaping him. Booth on the other line had tears running down his cheeks; he knew he had changed but he couldn't care until he saw or rather heard how much it affected the people he truly loves.

"Bones please..." he sobbed.

"No Booth, you don't get to call me that anymore; you lost that right when you came back with her. Now I'm hanging up and this will be the last time you'll ever hear from me. Goodbye." With that she hung up. Booth was sobbing his bed shaking while he punched his mattress over and over again. He grabbed his cell phone again; he knew Brennan wasn't going to answer her phone if it showed his number so he turned it to private and rang her phone. The voice of his son caught him of guard.

"Bones' phone, Parker speaking." He sounded terrified and Booth got worried.

"Parker put Bones on the phone."

"I can't; she's throwing up and she looks really pale daddy. I don't know what to do." he heard Brennan emptying her stomach and jumped from his bed already pulling on sweats and a shirt and making his way to his car. He arrived at her apartment in record timing; Parker still on the phone with him. Parker opened the door when he knocked and ran into the bathroom where Brennan was sitting on the floor; head on the toilet seat and her skin as white as paper. Parker came running after him and sat next to Brennan; taking her hand in his and cuddling closer to her. "Mommy, daddy is here." Brennan looked at Booth and he could see her eyes trying to focus on him but not really being able to.

"Parker can you get a cold flannel?" He looked at Brennan and back at Booth; he shook his head.

"No I wanna stay with mommy." He cuddled closer to her and Brennan weakly put her arm around him.

"It's... it's alright baby..." her voice was hoarse; Parker looked up and shook his head again.

"No I don't wanna leave you." He sobbed and Brennan nodded her head.

"Its okay baby, don't cry... I'm fine, real..." Before she could finish she reached for the toilet again and emptied more of her stomach contents.

"Okay buddy I need you to be brave for me now okay, can you get a cold flannel for mommy while I carry her to the bed." Parker began shaking his head when he felt Brennan's hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and nodded his head; he walked out and Booth moved to pick her up when she stopped him.

"I don't care what you do to me; how much you have to hurt me to get back at me but if you ever hurt that little boy again I will kill you myself." Booth nodded his head and picked her up; he walked out of the bathroom and laid her on her bed. Parker ran back into the room with a flannel; Booth made a move to grab it but Parker jumped on the bed and placed it on her forehead. His other hand came up which contained another flannel and he carefully whipped the sweat of her chest and her neck before laying back down beside her; curling his body into hers.

Booth looked at the interaction between Bones and his son; tears prickling his lashes.

"I'm fine now Booth, you can go." Brennan told him weakly; cuddling Parker closer to her. Booth shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest.

"No, I'm staying."

"No Booth. I'm fine; I don't want you to stay. Not here, not now, not ever." Her voice got some of its strength back and Booth knew he should not push her but he wanted to stay.

"No, what if something happens?"

"Then Parker can call my dad or Angela and Hodgins. I don't want you here Booth, I thought I made that clear. And why do you care anyway?"

"Because it still lo..." Brennan held up her hand; tears gathering in her eyes, she looked at him like he grew a second head.

"No, no... no... you..." she stuttered." No..." she jumped from the bed and leapt into the bathroom to once again empty her stomach; Parker was at her side in seconds holding her hair from her face. Booth also ran into the bathroom and wanted to take her into his lap when she pushed him hard in his chest making him stumble backwards. Brennan looked at him; her eyes red, her cheeks tear stained and tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Bones please..." she shook her head.

"No Booth, you moved on; you hurt the people who cared about you the most; who loved you, but you lost that and you don't get to say you love me, you lost that right. I really don't care anymore how much you have to hurt me to get over me or something. But seeing my son like this..." his head snapped up when she said that." It's breaking my heart and I can't let you do that to him." She voice faltered and a sob escaped her lips. Parker stood up and planted himself on her lap; hugging her tightly. "Please leave." She whispered before burying her face in Parker's hair and shoulder.

"Bones..." he croaked out.

"Please just... leave." He stood up with tear rolling down his cheeks.

"I love you both." He whispered and walked out of the bathroom missing the tears running down both Parker's and Brennan's cheeks. Parker helped her get up and into bed before snuggling closer to her warmth, his arms around her waist and her head on her breast.

"Goodnight mommy." He whispered; his voice still full of sadness.

"Goodnight baby." She whispered back before kissing his head and falling asleep.
