It was six thirty that afternoon when Booth strolled into the lab and made his way towards Tempe's office, but as he neared he heard a familiar voice followed by Tempe. Wondering if Parker was there, Booth ran towards her office door and saw Tempe sitting on her couch with his son in her arms talking.

"Dr. Bones when is daddy going to be here?" he asked coloring on a piece of paper Tempe somehow managed to balance on her legs.

"I'm not sure." She mumbled holding him close to her.

"Will you be spending time with daddy and me this weekend?"

"If you want me to."

"Can you?"

"It depends on what your daddy says."

"Do you live with my daddy?" he asked facing her.

"No, I don't, I live by myself."

"Why do you live by yourself? Aren't you lonely?"

"sometimes, but I work with you Angela, Zach, Hodgins and your daddy a lot so I'm never alone for long." She explained looking at the picture he showed her.

"But don't you get lonely sleeping by yourself at night?"

Tempe went quiet for a few minutes and all thought he wanted to know her answer, Booth walked in the room and got a huge welcoming hug from Parker. He jumped out of Tempe's lap and ran over to his father and jumped in his arms instead.

"Hi daddy!" he said holding him close.

"Hey buddy." Booth whispered back placing him on the ground, then spoke to Tempe. "Hey beautiful."

"hi." She said walking over to him and allowed him to place a soft kiss on her lips.

"How are you?" He asked pulling away playing with her hair.

"I'm fine, you?" she whispered her lips millimeters from his.

"great." He said and kissed her again, both forgetting Parker was still there.

"Daddy will Dr. Bones be staying with us this weekend?" he asked standing in front of the two.

"If she wants." Booth answered pulling away from her watching him pack up his things.

"Do you Dr. Bones? Do you want to spend time with us?"

"sure." She said and they watched as he ran out and towards Jack and Angela.

"So what is he doing here so early? I thought we were supposed to pick him up in a half hour." He asked looking at his watch.

"Rebecca dropped him off early. She had to be there sooner than thought for security reasons." She explained watching as Parker tackled Hodgins and laughed as he pretended to fall to the floor in pain, Angela laughing as Hodgins missed his footing and tripped hitting the floor with some impact.

"I hope he hasn't been too much trouble."

"Not at all, in fact he was perfect."

Booth walked over to Tempe's desk and grabbed Parkers things, the they walked out of the office and over towards Angela and Hodgins, only to find Zach trying to bribe Parker off of Hodgins with some candy he had brought from home.

"I'm going to get you." Hodgins yelled turning over and picking him up in the process, soon Parker was held upside down as Hodgins held him by the foot.

"Help me!" he screamed while laughing. "Dr. Bones, help me!"

"Sorry, but you asked for it." She said laughing at the sight of the four year old.

"Daddy help me!" he then screamed.

"Sorry son, but Bones has got a point."

"Angela, Help!" he said laughing hysterically as Hodgins tickled him.

"Jack, put him down." She said laughing as well.

Jack carefully placed Parker on his feet and then stuck his tongue out as he caught sight of him. Parker repeated the gesture, then ran over to Angela and thanked her for rescuing him.

"Your welcome, sweetie." She said and hugged him.

He then ran over to Tempe and waited for her to pick him up. With that, they all said their good-byes and left. As they reached the car, Tempe found it hard to get Parker into the car, until Booth told her he had fallen asleep on her arm.

"Are you kidding me?" she asked as he helped her put him in his car seat.

"Nope, have a look for yourself." He said and she looked towards him and smiled as the small child slept.

"Well he had a rough day and after what Hodgins just did to him that must have really worn him out."

"I would imagine so." He said then got in the car and started it up. "So, would you like to stay the night tonight?" he asked after a fifteen minute silence.

"Um sure, if it's ok with you." She said a little unsure of what to say.

"It's ok, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it." He said pulling in the driveway to her apartment building.

"Ok, just let me grab some clothes." She said getting out of the car and raced upstairs to pack.

Twenty minutes later she return and got back in the car as Booth and her talked while the drove to his house. As they parked and got out, Booth grabbed Parker's and her bags and carried them as she carried the sleeping child up the stairs and to the second bedroom that was his.

After he was carefully changed by Booth and tucked in by Tempe, they left Parker to sleep. They then walked out into the hallway as Booth told her where she'd be sleeping.

"Ok, I only have two bedrooms and that's Parkers so you can have my room and I'll sleep on the couch." He explained showing her to the room and placed her bags on the floor.

"You can stay with me." she whispered pulling back the covers.

"That's ok." he said turning to leave.

"I mean it must be uncomfortable to sleep on the couch and I mean it's not like we haven't slept together before." She said stopping him in his tracks.

"I'm sure you'd like to sleep by yourself. I mean you must be tired if you want to sleep at eight." He said and turned to leave again.

"I'd like it if you stayed." She whispered and watched as he turned to face her.

"You would?" she nodded.

"What was it you said 'I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it'?" she asked smiling.

"ok." he whispered walking over to her and watched as she disappeared into the bathroom to change.

When she came back out Booth was already in his boxers and an old shirt waiting for her. They both climbed in and laid next to each other, Tempe was the first one to make a move. She carefully rested her head on his chest and allowed him to move his arm around her waist as they fell asleep.

It was seven in the morning when Parker barged into the room and woke them both up by jumping on the bed.

"Wake up!" he yelled shaking Booth.

"We're up." Booth said opening his eyes, causing the child to move to Tempe.

"Wake up Dr. Bones." He said shaking her.

"I'm up." She said facing him.

Parker then ran out of the room and into the kitchen to get his breakfast.

"Sorry, but he does that every morning." Booth said looking to her.

"It's ok; this is the longest amount of sleep I've gotten in a long time anyways." She said moving over to rest her head on his chest again. "You know, Parker was right, there are times at night where I get lonely sleeping by myself." She whispered.

"As long as I have a say that'll never happen again." He spoke softly pulling her closer.

"I don't know what that means." She stated wondering what he meant by that.

"Will you move in with me?" he asked looking her in the eyes.
