Brennan hung up the phone. She really hadn't wanted to tell her Dad she was alive over the telephone but she had no choice since he was in France with Russ and his family, on holiday. He had been over come with emotion she could barely understand him when he started crying. She looked at Booth in the drivers seat.
"He's on his way home." She smiled. "They all are."
"Good. But you didn't tell them"
"I couldn't get a word in edge route Booth!"
"Edge ways! Bones edge way."
"Still I just didn't manage to get a chance to tell him." She said.
"Right. Probably wise since your father doesn't like me and your brother is scared of me!" he smiled.
"Yes I thought so too!" she laughed.
"Angela took the entire thing better then I expected."
"She's practically in shock. You'll probably got the reaction you were expecting tomorrow."
"Probably." He slowed down the car and turned off into a drive way. "Were here."
"You sure you want me to come in?" she said.
"Yes… Maybe in a minute. I should probably go first."
"Ok. Good luck." She smiled. he leaned over and kissed her before opening the car door and getting out.
Booth walked up the small path towards the house. He rang the bell and waited. The door opened slowly, Booth looked up and his eyes immediately locked with hers.
"Rebecca…" he said. She threw the door fully open.
"No way Seeley no!" she shook her head and stepped back. "You cant be… you just cant!"
"I am Rebecca, we both are!" he looked back towards the car to Brennan.
"Thank God!" Rebecca stood forward again and hugged him.
"Can I see him? I need to see him!" Booth said. She just nodded, and let him in.
"How are you going to tell him?"
"I don't know."
"It should be easy, he was always convinced it was like last time. I didn't know how to tell him it wasn't. but now…" she was cut off.
"DADDY!" he ran through a door off the hall, and straight into Booth's arms.
"Oh Parker." Booth hugged him as hard as he could without hurting the small child.
"I knew it! I knew you were alright! Didn't I tell you mommy! Daddy's ok!" he said without letting his father go. "I told you!" Booth stroked the boys head.
"You were right Parker. Well done, my smart, smart boy!" he laughed. Parker stepped back.
"Is Dr Bones here too?" he asked. "Did you mind her?"
"Yes Park I did…" he laughed again. "But we have some news for you."
"What is it?" Parker asked smiling.
"I'll get Bones and we'll tell you together. Ok?" He nodded smiling. Booth walked back out to car, on the way her heard Parker speak again.
"I told you he'd come back mommy! I told you! And now he's back. Daddy's back." Booth couldn't help but beam. Brennan opened her own door when she saw him coming. Booth half jogged over to her to help her out.
"So…" she asked.
"He knew I was going to come back! That it was like last time."
"Smart kid."
"He is. Takes after me I guess!" she ginned at him.
"Do you want to tell him now?"
"It's as good a time as any."
"Ok then." She nodded and this time she knew he needed her to hold his hand.
"Dr Bones!" Parker beamed up at her, when they came thought the door. Rebecca came back out into the hall and gasped.
"You're… you're!" she said but she didn't finish.
"Parker, how would you like two new brothers or sisters?" Booth said kneeling down in-front of his son.
"Really?" the little boy asked.
"Two!" Rebecca said.
"Yes Parker, two little babies. You'd be their big brother! Would you like that?" Brennan said.
"Yes! I'd really like that!" he nodded furiously.
"Good. that's really good to hear Park!" Booth smiled.
"Are you and Dr Bones getting married Daddy?" he asked.
"Yes Park we are." He nodded. "Ok Park I need to talk to your mom now for a while will you go play?"
"Ok I have to tell my teddies you're home!" he ran off.
"I could kill you Seeley! You died twice and this time you took Brennan with you! Have you any idea how upset we all were! Everyone. I couldn't get Parker to believe that you were gone. He just wouldn't. and I don't know if that made things harder or easier but… well if it took sending the two of you off into a different life to finally see what was in front of you I can't kill you now can I?" Rebecca smiled.
"You too huh?" Booth said. She smiled.
"Congratulations to you both!"
"Thanks."

"It's the exact same. Like no time has passed." Brennan turned to Booth.
"Cullen's been having both places cleaned on a regular basis." She looked around at her apartment. Her home. Her old home. She had a new one now. Booth took her hand. "You ok Bones?""
"Yes, I'm just thinking. I hadn't realized just how small this place is."
"It's bigger then mine!"
"I mean compared to the house."
"Yeah it is. God my place must be a hole!" he laughed.
"Booth how will we manage with two kids in either place?"
"Yeah it'd get quite cramped." He smiled.
"So…"
"So?"
"So maybe we should keep the house?" she shrugged.
"Hmm… maybe we should."
"Would Cullen let us?"
"We'd have to pay the rest of it off."
"Not a problem."
"So we're staying in the house."
"We're staying in the house." she nodded and he pulled her into a hug.
