A/N: wow the last I updated this was April 7th? Damn…..well I was just so busy with prom and exams and stuff. It wasn't exactly the smartest decision to start 4 or 5 stories in my last semester of high school…but no worries all my stories should be updated this week and a few new ones will be posted. Once again sorry for delays.
"Parker"
"What's up?" Looking at his little brother he put down his game controller and gave Cory his attention. One quality he inherited from his Dad he was a good listener.
"Daddy asked mommy last night member?"
"Oh, yeah! We should go ask Mom about it!"
Parker was about to take off down the hall when he sensed his brother's discomfort. Confused he turned back to Cory. "Yeah…but,"
"What's bugging you Cory?"
Cory was now shifting nervously. "Do you think mommy will have any more kids?"
"Um…I don't know why?"
Cory completely ignored the why part…."You think she'd forget about me?"
"Nah…She never forgot about me when you were born." Parker laughed and ruffled his brother's hair. "Come on." He said adding that he didn't even know if she'd said yes.
Bones was in her office at home. She had come home early since Booth had been called into a late meeting. She heard voices coming from the hall and smiled. Obviously the voices belonged to Cory and Parker. They must have lost interest in their game. Which usually meant its bother Bones time.
She quickly hid the gruesome crime scene photos that were on her desk. So that the two sets of innocent eyes about to enter her office did not happen to see them. Hm she thought it was only four now. They'd been upstairs a while. Most likely, they'd be prying on some topic or another.
They walked in unannounced a few minutes later. Just like their father she thought.
"Hi mom!" they said in unison with identical grins. Cory started spinning around on his stomach on a swivel chair.
"Bored already boys?" she asked with a smile.
"I suppose." Said Parker.
Cory was intently focused on his spinning and paid his brother and mother no attention. "How was school?" she asked Parker.
"It was okay…Math is annoying, not hard though, just annoying."
"It's my strongest, or favorite subject either Parker." She said with a laugh and a smile upon her lips.
"How was your day yesterday mom? Any propositions or anything?"
Bingo, she thought. He wants to know about Booth's proposal. She knew he was fishing for something. She'd heard Parker say that before she thought she had the meaning right.
"Angela asked us all to dinner tomorrow night. Cory has a game on Saturday at 4:30 I think. Your season's over, right?"
She knew she was altering the subject but this was too funny to pass up. Deciding messing with her stepson was quite joyous at the moment.
"oh…really anything else?"
"Hm..not really. Oh your Dad asked me to marry." She added nonchalantly.
Yes! Thought Parker. Oh, crap. Wait a minute she didn't tell me her answer yet. Don't get your hopes up. "Cool…what did uh…you say?" he tried to hide his excitement failing miserably.
"I said yes," she told him showing him her ring.
Cory's head popped up at her answer and excitement. "Are you and Daddy going to have more kids?" asked Cory bluntly and incredulously like it was the most absurd thing on the planet.
Well he sure was straight to the point this afternoon. Brennan never thought she'd have to think of her answer on that topic, but for once she surprised herself and did.
"I don't know if we will. I guess we'd address that when the time comes."
Booth would explode with happiness if he'd heard what she just said to their son. And of course as if on cue she heard the front door open.
"Bones? Cory? Parker?"
"Let's go see Dad." Said Brennan rolling her eyes. However, she was thankful for the save from that stressful conversation.
"want to help with my science homework?" asked Parker curiously after Cory had sped from the office.
"Sounds like a date. I'll meet you in the living room around say 6 p.m.?"
"Okay, I'll be there." Agreed Parker with a nod and a laugh.
"For a minute there I thought you two were hiding from me," said Booth accusingly to Bones and Parker. Parker said hi to his dad then went upstairs to conquer math. Cory soon followed.
"Hey," said Booth greeting his fiancé. She smiled at him and pulled him towards her.
"Do I get to know your secret yet?" asked Booth feigning hurt. He asked kissing a trail from her jaw to her collarbone. "You are a very mean woman you know that Bones?'
"So, I've bee told."
"So do you have a few minutes to spend alone with your fiancé?"
"I could try to squeeze you in, but I have a date at 6. Better not make me late."
"With who?!" Asked Booth defensively and suddenly pulling away from her.
"well, he's very handsome. Younger than you by a longshot. Blonde hair, brown eyes."
"Who are you going out with!"
"Oh not out. We'll be over there in the living room."
His temper was flaring now, and she had to bite back her laugher from bubbly to the surface. Parker walked in just then. "Hey mom. I finished early. Can we start now instead of waiting until 6?"
Just then, Booth burst into a fit of laughter. "I feel stupid." Adding "Bones you messing with me, not fair!"
She shook her head and walked into the living room taking Parker with her.
"Daddy?"
Booth looked down towards the floor and saw Cory who was standing before him in the kitchen. "what's up kiddo?" asked Booth calmly to his younger son.
"Now that mommy and you are getting married and stuff…are you going to have more kids?" Blunt as his mom thought the agent nervously.
"Did you mention this to your mom yet?"
" Yeah…."
"Okay. Well what did she say?"
Booth was quite aware of kids playing their parents against each other. Jared and him had continuously done it throughout their own youth, and Parker had attempted such on a few occasions.
"She said she wasn't sure on it, and had to talk to you about it first."
Wow.Bones hadn't flat out just told Cory no? this was amazing. What alternate universe was he living in? "Uh. Cory I need to um do something before you and I talk about this any further."
Booth then dashed off to find Brennan. Okay now where are Bones and Parker? Obviously they'd vacated science homework. He found them on the couch snuggled up and watching a movie. He shook her shoulder and she turned towards him slowly.
"Hm?"
"Can I talk to you a minute?"
"Yeah, sure." She said and got up reluctantly, but she gave him a reassuring smile. He smiled back thinking she has no clue what I'm about to ask her.
"What'd you need to talk about?" she asked interrupting his thoughts as they entered the kitchen quietly.
"Do you want to have more kids?"
