Thank you for all of the kind reviews. They've been inspirational.

I don't own Bones, not even a little bit.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day being a Friday, Booth made the executive decision and decreed that they'd spend the day at the motel swimming and just relaxing and that evening after calling and making a reservation they'd go on the Ghost Tour. He found out it was a walking tour and lasted 90 minutes, so he also warned Brennan and Parker that they'd eat dinner first.

Since no one had brought swimming suits on the trip, Booth drove them over to the Wal-mart on North Lee Highway so that they could find something to wear in the pool.

Brennan unsatisfied with the selection of swim suits chose a simple sleeveless plaid shirt that buttoned down the front and a pair of shorts. Booth and Parker found the swim trunks they wanted and found some flip flops while they were at it. While they were in the Super Center, Booth and Brennan also bought a medium sized cooler, drinks, ice and snacks.

Arriving back at the motel, Booth fixed the cooler and set it near the door then looked for the bag that held his swim suit. "I saw a sign that says that they have a life guard for the pool in the morning and . . . " Looking up from the bag with his swim suit in his hand he found Brennan changing into the shorts. Mesmerized at the sight, he stopped and stared.

Feeling Booth's eyes on her, she looked up and smiled, "Parker will be waiting for us at the pool."

His gaze devouring her, Booth cleared his throat and spread his arms wide, "I didn't say anything."

Shaking her head, his girlfriend grabbed her new shirt and put it on, "You didn't have to, Booth."

A little disappointed that she'd finished dressing, Booth tugged on his right ear and sighed, "Well, I'll change into my suit and meet you out at the pool if that's going to be your attitude."

Staring at Booth, Brennan walked over to where he was standing and placed her hands on his t-shirt, pulled it up and removed it for him. "Well, maybe we can tell him that I was being a girl and took a long time making up my mind if I wanted to go swimming or not. It is stereotypical behavior that's. . . "

Placing has mouth over hers, Booth stopped the conversation.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Parker had been in the pool for awhile when two children joined him. Staring at the boy and girl, Parker smiled and swam over to where they were standing near the edge of the pool. "Hi, I'm Parker."

The brother and sister, a little bashful around strangers, looked at each other and then back at Parker, "Hi, I'm Brad and this is my sister, Tonia."

Nodding his head, Parker swam back a little, "It's a little cold when you first get in, but it only lasts for a few minutes."

Determined to show that he wasn't afraid of cold water, the boy held his nose and jumped in to the pool. His sister, walked to the edge sat down and then slipped into the pool. Swimming over to Parker, Tonia asked him, "Want to play Marco Polo?"

Nodding his head, Parker replied, "Sure. Want me to be Marco first?"

Swimming away from Parker Tonia replied, "Okay by me."

Ooooooooooooooooooo

Carrying the cooler, Booth walked over to the pool to find Parker playing with two children. The boy and girl looked related and were probably a year or two older than his son. The motel manager's wife playing life guard, watched Booth as he stared at the children.

Placing the cooler near a chaise lounge, Booth waited for Brennan to join him. "Want to swim or just lay in the sun?"

Her gaze upon the children at play, Brennan sat down on the chaise next to Booth's cooler and smiled, "Perhaps we should let them have the whole pool. They seem to having fun playing."

Rubbing his neck, Booth watched Parker screaming with delight as he got away from the girl who had almost touched him. Sitting on the chaise lounge next to Brennan, Booth pointed out, "See he didn't even miss us. We could have spent a little more time . . . um, you know."

Amused at Booth's complaint, she removed a bottle of sun screen from her bag and handed it to her boyfriend, "Would you like to help me apply some sun screen?"

Moving from his chair, Booth knelt next to Brennan, Booth's eyes gleamed in anticipation, "We'll do each other."

Parker noticing his father and Brennan were now at the pool, called out, "Hey Dad, come and play with us."

Smiling, Booth held up the sunscreen, "Come out of the pool and get some of this gunk on, Parker. You're turning red."

Scrunching his nose, Parker whined, "Do I really have to?"

His hands slowly rubbing the sun screen on the back of Brennan's arms, Booth laughed at his son, "Yes, you really have to."

Parker's new friends watching Parker leave the pool, swam over to the edge where Booth and Brennan were sitting. Brad, watching the sun screen being applied to Brennan, smiled, "My parents don't make us use that stuff."

Frowning, Brennan replied, "That's a shame. Sun screen will help diminish the suns effects on your skin."

Tonia, unsure what Brennan meant, asked her, "What do you mean?"

Certain the strange children needed to use sun screen and not impressed with their parents, Brennan explained, "The sun can damage your skin enough that when you're older you may end up looking older than you really are. It can also can cause skin cancer."

Swallowing, Tonia glanced at her brother, "Uh, can I borrow some sunscreen?"

Amused at the sick look on the girl, Booth informed her, "Sure, let me finish up and then you can use it after Parker is done with it."

Pulling herself from the pool, Tonia waited as Booth had Parker stand next to him so he could apply the sun screen. Once he was done, Booth handed the bottle to Tonia. Tonia holding it in her hand asked Booth, "Can you put some on me?"

Certain that was a bad idea, Booth shook his head, "No, but I'm sure Bones wouldn't mind doing it for you."

Holding out her hand, Brennan assured the girl, "I'd be happy to."

Curious, Tonia handed the bottle to Brennan and then turned her back towards her, "How come you're called Bones?"

Brennan, applying the sun screen to Tonia's back explained, "I'm an forensic anthropologist."

Nodding her head wisely, Tonia chose to pretend she knew what that meant, "Oh that explains it."

Looking at her brother, Tonia crossed her eyes.

Brad, laughing, swam over to the diving board and held on to it, waiting for Parker and Tonia to come back in to the pool. Once Parker and Tonia were done, they went back in the pool for another game of Marco Polo.

Booth, watching the kids scream at each other knelt in front of Brennan, so she could apply sun screen on his bare skin. "Want to play Marco Polo, Bones?"

Shaking her head, Brennan rubbed the goop into Booth's shoulders, "No thank you."

Turning, Booth kissed her, "Want to sit and watch the kids?"

Her eyes held by his brown ones, Brennan she returned his kiss, "That sounds very restful."

Once Brennan was done with the kiss and the sunscreen, Booth stood up and moved behind her. Straddling the chaise, he sat down and pulled her against his chest, "How about some snuggles? We can rest together."

Laughing, Brennan smiled and leaned against Booth.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Reviews would be great.
