AN: I don't own Bones it is just the best thing in my world! Here's chapter 3 thanks for all the reviews!

CHAPTER 3- THE YOUNG BOY'S TEARS

I was shocked; Booth didn't seem worried at all by Rebecca's passing. He must have really despised the woman. As I stroll into the other room I see Sweets, Parker and Christine still playing Cluedo.

"Ah Dr Brennan do you want to play with us?" Sweets asks beckoning me over.

I awkwardly sit down on a chair beside Booth. I was unsure of how to tell Parker what had happened but as usual Booth was a step ahead of me.

He looks at his son seriously "Parker we have to speak to you about something that has happened" he begins.

Parker just nods as he moves his Colonel Mustard playing piece into the Billiard Room. He begins to accuse Sweets of the murder when Booth clears his throat forcing the two guys to look up at him.

"Parker I have to speak to you, just leave the game alone" Booth says more sternly this time.

Parker just leaves the playing piece on the table and looks up at his dad.

"I have to tell you about what happened to your mom" Booth starts.

Parker nods "Yeah dad what?" he asks.

"Your mother has been…involved in an accident"

Parker suddenly looks very worried "What happened dad?" Parker cries tears of worry almost streaming down his cheeks.

"We don't know yet buddy but we'll have an investigation into it"

Parker looks upset. "I won't have to go to foster care like Dr Bones will I dad?" asks Parker in an uneasy way.

Booth just smiles and shakes his head "No way buddy, has Dr Bones been telling you foster care horror stories again?"

Parker nods "Yeah I want to stay with you dad" says the young boy clinging onto his father still clearly upset.

Booth kisses his son's head "You will buddy don't worry" he whispers.

I just glance over at Sweets, I just know that he'll need that consoling.

I felt so bad for the poor boy, he had really gone through a lot already and this was the last thing that he needed.

I glance over at Booth. "Booth what are we going to do about Parker?" I ask as I remember the young boy storming off and locking himself in his bedroom.

"Bones just give him time and he'll come round" Booth replies I nod in an understanding manner but I really wasn't sure.

TWO HOURS LATER:

"Parker, Parker its Bones let me in" I say hammering lightly at the young boy's bedroom door.

I hear movement and see the handle click and turn around. The door opens to reveal Parker; he had stopped crying but still looked upset. I looked into his dark brown eyes that matched his father's.

"You want a hug?" I ask.

I of all people would usually be the last person to ask that question but my stepson was important to me and I did show a feeling of affection towards him.

He nods and lunges forwards almost knocking me down. I open my mouth to complain but stop myself just in time remembering what it felt like when my parents and brother ran away and left me when I was only fifteen. I hug Parker back.

"Are you feeling a bit better now Parker?"

"Yeah Dr Bones" he replies his voice muffled because his face was all huddled up to my light red blouse "Are you officially my mom now?"

I shrug, I was unsure but I had a feeling that Parker would take up permanent residence here considering that Booth was now officially his legal guardian.

"I'm unsure Parker but I will take up all the maternal responsibilities required to raise you" I reply.

Parker smiles at me "Bones you'll be an awesome mom" he hugs me tighter "And if I can help with the investigation into my mom in any way I'm happy to do that" he replies brightening up slightly.

I nod "Angela might want to do some depictions of suspects and I suppose you could help"

Parker just nods and hugs me again.

I hurry into the Jeffersonian still wearing my sunglasses. We needed to something on cause of death and we needed it now.

"Dr Hodgins, Dr Saroyan" I cry out as I race into the autopsy room as I put on my blue lab coat.

Hodgins looks up at me from his microscope.

"Hi Dr Brennan" he laughs enthusiastically.

Hodgins was in a good mood, which improves his work productivity.

"Hello Dr Hodgins have you seen Miss Wick?" I ask, I was wondering where Daisy was. She was the resident intern here for this murder investigation and I needed her help.

Hodgins shrugs "Go ask Angie she might know" he replies.

I thank him and hurry into Angela's office. I walk in through the door and open my mouth to ask Angela about Miss Wick's location but quickly snap it shut when I see what she's doing.

"Angela you know children are not permitted in the lab" I cry.

Angela was sitting on the mat in the middle of the room playing with her and Hodgins' little three-year-old son Michael. Angela raises her finger to her bright red lips to shush me.

"Bren be a friend if Cam sees him she'll blow"

I nod and I sit down beside her.

Michael looks up at his mother "Mommy who's that?" he asks.

Angela smiles "You know your little friend Christine?"

Michael nods excitedly; the two children really did get along well.

"Well that's Christine's mommy" Angela continues and Michael nods excitedly yet again.

"Well if you know Christine then I like you as well" Michael replies.

He had his mother's dark eyes and dark hair.

I smile at Michael but turn to look at Angela "Do you know where Daisy is?" I ask.

Angela nods "Yeah I think I saw her go into an office…with Sweets"

I nod and roll my eyes, why did Miss Wick always act so childish?

"Miss Wick, Miss Wick I need to speak to you," I cry as I walk past all the offices in the Jeffersonian.

I hear some noise coming from an office to my far right and glance through the walls, which to my advantage were made of glass. I walk over and tap lightly on the door as I turn the handle and walk in.

I see Daisy sitting at the desk looking at Sweets in a very aggravated way. I walk over and Sweets glances at me. For some reason he looked very happy to see me.

I look at them confused "What happened in here?" I ask.

Daisy looks at me in a very upset way as we exchange a glance. "Oh it's Lance" she begins "He thinks that I've been upset and down since our breakup"

Sweets just looks annoyed. "I was just trying to help Daisy" he replies.

I nod; personally I wasn't the slightest bit interested in Sweets and Daisy's love life. "Well can't you go and have this disagreement somewhere else?" I ask, "Is it really required to happen here in the Jeffersonian?"

Daisy shrugs "Well Lance was here…" she begins.

I nod planning on forgetting about this whole conversation and getting back to the murder investigation at hand.

"So anything on cause of death so far?" I ask the intern.

She shakes her head "Well I suppose that Lance has delayed me slightly…" she begins trailing off slowly.

I glance over at Daisy "Miss Wick if this job is to hard for you there is many other interns who would be itching to come to work today" I tell Daisy very sternly "Mr Bray, Mr Fisher or Mr Vaziri would all jump at the job opportunity"

Daisy suddenly expresses a look of worry. "Oh I'm sorry Dr Brennan I'll get back to work immediately"

"Good, thank you Daisy, the bones aren't going to examine themselves you know," I tell her as I head into the other room to help Daisy look over the remains.
