My Son

Chapter 5

Booth stood up when the two local police department Detectives came in. "Special Agent Seeley Booth?"

"Yes I'm Special Agent Booth. You're the two Detectives that the local police sent over?"

"Yes I'm Detective Sanchez and this is my partner Detective Bradshaw. We were told that you would explain why you're turning over this case to us now after you've had it since Friday." Booth led them into Dr. Brennan's office and explained everything that had happened and who he suspected the boy really was.

"Can we see the body?" Detective Bradshaw asked as he put his notepad away in his inside jacket pocket.

"You can see it but it won't do you any good because the body was burned beyond recognition. Let me introduce you to my partner and she'll explain what they are doing right now." Booth took them over beside the platform and called out to Dr. Brennan. "Bones could you come down and talk to the Detectives and explain what you're doing with the skull right now?"

"I thought her name was Dr. Temperance Brennan." Detective Sanchez said.

"It is it's just a nickname that I gave her because she's a bone expert." Brennan came down and joined the men. "Dr. Temperance Brennan this is Detective Sanchez and Detective Bradshaw from the local police department. Dr. Brennan is the Jeffersonians Forensic Anthropologist and my partner."

Detective Bradshaw shook Brennan's hand vigorously. "You don't have to tell me about Dr. Brennan, I am a big fan of her books and I have read all about her. I am very happy to meet you Dr. Brennan."

"Thank you. It's always good to meet fans of my books." Brennan said as she shook the Detectives hand and gave him a friendly smile. As soon as Det. Bradshaw let go of her hand she extended it to Det. Sanchez.

"Your partner tells us that you can explain what you are doing with the boy's body right now." Bradshaw said as he took out his notepad again.

"If you gentlemen will follow me I'll show you what we are doing to help identify the boy." Brennan took them over to Angela's office where she was drawing a face for the skeleton. "Gentleman this is the Jeffersonians resident artist and a member of our team. Angela Montenegro this is Det. Sanchez and Det. Bradshaw from the local police department."

"Hello I presume that you would like to see my drawing of the little boys face." Angela showed them the picture that she had just completed. The picture showed what Booth believed was the face of Danny Case.

"Can we have the picture Ms. Montenegro?" Det. Sanchez asked.

"Yes, of course. I drew him with a smile so that his parents would remember him like that." Angela removed the picture from her drawing pad and handed it over to the Detectives.

"Okay, well I guess we have everything we need now. We'll let you know how it goes and if he is the boy Danny Case." Det. Bradshaw said as he accepted the picture from Angela and turned to go.

"Det. Sanchez if the parents want further proof that the body is their son we can provide that if you can get us a sample of his hair from a brush or comb that he used." Brennan said before they left.

"Thank you Dr. Brennan, we'll contact you if they want that." With that said they left to go to Lincoln Elementary school to get information on Danny Case's address and see if they had a recent class picture that they could compare Angela's picture to. Det. Bradshaw called the precinct to get the Cases address from the missing child report so they could compare it to what the school gave them. They didn't want to go to someone and tell them that their son was dead just because they had the same last name.

When the detectives left Booth went up the stairs to the platform and swiped his card through the security card reader. Everyone, including Cam was up on the platform. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to him.

"Rebecca and I just want to thank you for all that you did for us. I know that you did everything on your own time and on a Saturday to boot. If there is anything that I can ever do for any of you just let me know. Whatever it is though it could never measure up to you giving my son back to me. For that I will be eternally in your debt." Booth tried to hide his tears but failed miserably. Cam, Angela and Brennan were crying also.

"Well if you think that I'm going to cry too you're sadly mistaken because I want to call in your in debt token right now." Hodgins said with all seriousness. Cam, Angela and Brennan all said HODGINS at the same time.

Booth held up his hand and they quieted down. "Anything you want Hodgins I'll try my best to give you."

"I want, or rather we want, Zack back. You know and I know that he didn't kill anyone. Find out if there is any way that he can possibly come back to work here. We need him and to be honest I really miss the little geek."

Booth walked over to Hodgins and held his hand out and shook hands with Hodgins. "I'll do my very best Hodgins."

Before Booth left he stopped in front of Brennan and took her in his arms and bent her backwards and gave her a long passionate kiss in front of everyone. Everyone stared at them with their mouths open. Booth stood her back up then straightened his jacket and left after grabbing his coat that he had left on the handrail by the stairs. Brennan just smiled at them and turned back to her work.

Booth returned to FBI headquarters and directly to Cullin's office. He stopped and asked his secretary if he was free at the moment.

"You can go right in Special Agent Booth." Booth knocked on the door first and when he heard Cullin say come in he opened the door and stepped in.

When he saw who it was Cullin came around the desk and put his hand on Booth's shoulder. "How are you doing Booth?"

"I'm doing a lot better today sir. I thought I would tell you about all that has been going on with me since Friday afternoon."

Cullin sat in the second chair next to the one that he pointed Booth too. "I saw the news report on the accident. I called Sweets in here to see it also so if you need someone to talk to he already knows about the accident."

"Yeah, I had forgotten that the reporters were there. I need to tell you sir that Dr. Brennan's group found out that the body wasn't Parker. They worked all night and did some DNA testing to confirm the identity of the boy's body and they did a comparison of my DNA to the bodies and didn't find a match. Without telling me Angela and Dr. Hodgins went to Rebecca's house and got a sample from her and also some hair that they found in Parkers brush. From all of these samples they confirmed that it wasn't my son that had been killed in the accident."

"Well where was he?" Booth continued to explain to Cullin about the hospital calling and his reunion with his son.

"Thank God. I am truly very happy for you Booth. If you want to take some time off go ahead just keep your cell phone with you in case we need you."

"Not right now sir. The Doctor told Rebecca to keep Parker home for a couple of days so I don't think she is going to let him out of her sight for awhile. But I'm supposed to get him next weekend. If I don't have a case I would like to take off early so I can spend as much time as possible with him if you don't mind."

"Take as much time as you want Booth. I would give my right arm to spend another weekend with my daughter." Booth stood up then and left.

Since Sweets knew about the accident Booth thought he better go and talk to him also. When he reached Sweets door he knocked on it instead of just walking in like he usually did. Sweets stood up.

"Hi Booth, how are you doing? I'm sorry about your son." Sweets said as he pointed him to his usual chair. Booth took it without saying anything at first. For some reason, now that he was in Sweets office, he was feeling the same emotions that he had felt when he thought that he had lost Parker. The tears started falling and he wiped them away with the back of his hand. Sweets didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry Sweets. I don't know why I did that. I stopped by to let you know that Parker is alright, it wasn't his body in the bus." Booth told the young psychiatrist about what had happened on Friday and Saturday.

"Well I am truly very happy for you Booth. It's understandable that you are still feeling the possible loss of your son especially since you haven't been able to be with him for any length of time. But I promise you that the first time that you are able to spend time with him your subconscious mind will be reassured that he is alive and well."

"Yeah I guess so. I know that Rebecca probably hasn't even let him out of her sight." Booth was quiet for awhile, it was clear that he had something else that he wanted to tell Sweets. Sweets waited patiently while Booth got up the courage to tell him what it was. After 5 minutes Booth finally looked up at Sweets, but Booth was doing something that he didn't expect. Booth was grinning from ear to ear.

"What are you so happy about?" Sweets asked. He couldn't help but smile himself as he looked at Booth.

"I don't think that Bones and I will need therapy sessions with you anymore. Saturday morning when Hodgins told me that the body on the platform wasn't my son I was so happy that I hugged and kissed both Hodgins and Angela. The big thing though is that when I turned to Bones and hugged and kissed her I aimed for her lips. And it was a whopper of a kiss. It was so good that I didn't care if Hodgins and Angela saw us. The nice thing about it though was that when I pulled away from her she put her arms around my neck and kissed me. When we finally pulled apart I told her that I loved her and she said she loved me."

"Don't tell me you locked the door and had sex right in her office."

"No but if it hadn't been for the call from the hospital telling me that they had Parker we probably would have. As it is we barely had it in us to wait until we got to her apartment. If I look tired now it's not because of what I went thru on Friday and Saturday, it was because we were at it the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday." Booth was laughing as he told Sweets about his weekend. Sweets was laughing along with him.

"I swear I was really feeling my age by Sunday afternoon. The time in between was spent sleeping and I can tell you that the sleep periods got longer and longer." Sweets was laughing and turning red from embarrassment as the picture of them having sex came, unbidden, into his mind.

"I guess you will have to start taking longer jogs to build up your endurance." Sweets remarked.

"Well I think that we got rid of all of that pent up sexual tension this weekend so we should be acting more our age from now on. I want to tell you though that I now have first hand knowledge that what she says about herself being a good sex partner is true. The second time we had sex she almost blew the head of my penis off my orgasm was so strong." By now Sweets face was beet red. Booth started to laugh at Sweets reaction to what he said.

"Don't you dare ever say anything to Bones or anyone else about what I've told you." Booth told him with a straight face.

"Don't worry Booth I'll hold this all in patient doctor confidentiality. Where is Dr. Brennan now? Does she look as tired as you do?"

"No she looks fine, at least as far as I can tell she is fine." Booths cell phone rang and he pulled it off of his belt and answered it. Sweets heard him say "Okay I'm at the FBI headquarters right now but I'll head over to the Jeffersonian right away." He folded up his phone then and put it back on his belt.

"Is it another case?" Sweets asked.

"No that was Detective Bradshaw. I had to call the local police and turn the case of the unidentified body over to them. The Squints were doing me a favor when they did all of the work to identify the body. Once we found out that it wasn't Parker I knew I had to turn it over to the locals. The body is still at the Jeffersonian though and that was one of the Detectives that took over the case. I gave them some information that I got from my son and they are bringing the presumed parents over to the Jeffersonian so they can run some tests on the hair they got off of their sons hair brush." Booth got up then and said goodbye to Sweets.

When Booth arrived at the Jeffersonian he found a couple in Dr. Brennan's office along with Det. Bradshaw and Sanchez. He saw Bones up on the platform so he went up there.

"How's it going?" Booth asked Bones. "We just got the hair off of the brush and Hodgins is testing it now. It shouldn't take too much longer." Within 30 minutes Hodgins gave them the results.

"It's a match. The body is Danny Case."

"Okay Hodgins, thank you. Has the skull been put with the rest of the body?" Booth asked.

"Yes I placed it in the body bag myself." Hodgins answered. Booth just nodded to Hodgins and Brennan followed him down the platform and to her office.

The Detectives and Mr. and Mrs. Case stood up when Booth and Brennan came in. "Mr. and Mrs. Case they have a match on the hair from your son's hair brush and the body that was taken from the bus." Brennan told them. Danny's parents started crying then. Mr. Case held his wife close to him while she cried.

To Booths surprise Bones went over to Mrs. Case and put her hand around her and said "Mrs. Case I can say with all certainty that your son did not suffer. I am 100 percent sure that he died when his head hit the rail by the door when the truck hit the bus. It all happened within seconds so he didn't even know what happened to him."

Mrs. Case looked up at Dr. Brennan and said "Thank you Dr. Brennan. Thank you for all that you have done." She looked back at her husband and said "Let's go home now, we have to arrange for our sons funeral." The Detectives left also to take them home.

The following Friday Booth picked up Parker at his mother's house. Rebecca invited him in to wait for Parker since he hadn't arrived yet. "How have you been doing Rebecca?" Booth asked as he sat down at the dining room table with a cup of coffee she had given him.

"I took the week off and I've been spending as much time as possible with him. Letting him go back to school on Wednesday was hard. I was hugging him for so long that he had to tell me to let him go or he was going to miss the bus." Rebecca and Booth laughed.

"I can tell you that it's been pretty hard for me also. Every little thing would remind me of what happened last week and I kept on having to wipe away tears. Dr. Sweets, the on staff Psychiatrist at Headquarters, said that I would probably stop doing that after I got my chance to be with him this weekend. He said that my subconscious would finally be reassured that he was alive and alright." Rebecca came over and hugged Booth. She knew exactly how he felt.

Parker came in while they were hugging and when he saw his Father he yelled "Daddy!" Booth got up and picked up his son and hugged him as tight as he dared.

"I missed you Buddy. Did you miss me?"

"I always miss you Daddy. What are we going to do this weekend?" Parker asked his father as he put him down.

"I am going to spend every minute that I can with you and I am also going to teach you how to do something that all us Booth men must learn to do before they are 18 years old."

"What's that Daddy?"

"You Parker, are going to learn how to Veg out. Become bumps on a log. Become bums for the weekend. Space out while we watch games on TV and Disney movies. Then on Sunday after we go to Church we are going to get to go and see how the rich guys become bumps on a log. I promise you though that I questioned him to make sure that he knew how to really become a proper bump on a log and he passed the Booth men's test." Rebecca was laughing at the look on her son's face as he listened to his father so attentively.

"Is Dr. Bones going to be there also? Is she going to learn how to become a bump on a log too?" Parker believed, like so many little boys do, that everything his father said was the gospel truth.

"Well this is mostly a men's thing. If I tried to teach her the Booth men's tradition than I would probably have to hog tie her and strap her down to the couch." Booth bent down so that his mouth was right next to Parkers ear. "You know how women like to talk so she will probably be talking to Angela all the time we are there."

Quite seriously Parker whispered back to his father (rather loudly) "I understand Daddy, women can't learn how to become a bump on a log."

After Parker ran to his room to get his suitcase for the weekend with his father Rebecca said "I sure hope that he leaves everything that he learns at your house when he comes back or I'll never get him to do anything." Rebecca said with a serious look on her face that she couldn't quit keep.

"Don't worry Rebecca this weekend is more for me than it is for him." Booth told her. Parker came running back into the parlor pulling his suitcase behind him. They said goodbye then and Rebecca gave her son a kiss before he went running to the SUV.

As Parkers father had promised they spent the rest of Friday and all of Saturday lying around and wearing nothing but their shorts and t-shirts and becoming two bumps on a log and Special Agent Seeley Booth was in 7th Heaven all weekend with his son.
