Four Weeks Later

"Daddy!" Parker ran into Booth's room ahead of Brennan, Angela, Hodgins, and Zach.

Four weeks had past since the hospital brigade and the three had since been back at D.C. Booth had been admitted into the Rehab. Center not very far from the Jeffersonian. Everyday he got his arm strength back and was doing better and better each day in therapy. Scars were evident on his face from the stitched cuts and by orders of both the doctor and Cullen, kept him on an oxygen tube in his nose for precautions.

Yet, all in all, Brennan couldn't believe how far he had come from four weeks before.

"Daddy," Parker ran over to Booth, who hugged the boy with his free arm. His injured arm was bandaged and slung for protection.

"Hey, Bud. See you brought the whole team with you," he grinned at the others.

Brennan bent down and kissed him. "Feeling better?"

"Each day. Taking it slow."

"That's the best thing you should do," Hodgins sat in a nearby chair. "No hurry to come back to work."

"You obviously don't know Booth well," Angela smirked.

Booth spoke up. "Yeah, but the boredom here is driving me crazy."

"They working you hard?" Zach asked, standing by the door, arms crossed.

"Not too hard. I can lift a ten pound weight with this arm," Booth pointed to his slinged arm. "I'm up to twenty with my better arm."

Angela nodded, standing by Hodgins. "That's very good. Keep working like that, you'll be ten times better than you were before!" She grinned.

"Haha," Booth shook his head and held Parker on his leg.

"How's your walking?" Brennan asked.

Booth shook his head, "Nyeah, I can't do it on my own. My back's still bad."

"Do they think it'll always be bad?" Angela asked. "Like a bad back?"

Booth shook his head again. "Naw. It'll heal within three more weeks. Maybe longer, but it will heal."

Angela looked at Brennan. "So it's about time you two got together." She smirked.

Brennan rolled her eyes, playing around with her friend.

"Come on, Hon, you're not that dense."

"With Bones, everything is complicated," booth smirked, a chorus of "ooooh"'s coming from Zach, Angela, and Jack. Brennan laughed, then stuck her tongue out playfully.

"Okay then," Brennan turned to Angela. "What about you and Hodgins, then?"

Booth grinned wildly, following Brennan's eyes. Angela was blushing and Hodgins was biting his thumb, pretending to not have heard the conversation. Booth laughed. "Aha, she got you."

"No," Angela crossed her arms.

"Oh yeah, she did," Booth laughed and made room for Brennan to sit on the bed.

A knock on the door interrupted and Booth looked up. "Hi, Rebecca."

Rebecca nodded and smiled. "Hi. How are you feeling?"

"Better. Getting there," Booth readjusted Parker best he could. "You, uh, taking him?"

"Yeah. I wanted to take him out for myself for the weekend."

Booth nodded and playfully planted a raspberry kiss on Parker's cheek. "Be good, okay?"

"Yes, Sir, Daddy, Sir!" Parker grinned and saluted.

Booth laughed. "Move on out, Private Parker," he grinned and set him down.

Rebecca smiled. "Training him to be in the Army or FBI? Make up your mind."

Booth laughed lightly. "I was thinking about it."

Rebecca smiled at Parker and held her hand out to him. "Come on, Sweetie." She took Parker's hand, then stopped. "Oh...Doctor Brennan?"

"Yes?" Brenan looked up.

Rebecca smiled. "Thank you. You kept Parker in sight, safe, and helped him."

"Oh, it was nothing. I couldn't let anything happen to him." She looked at Booth. "He would never let me live it down and I couldn't live with myself."

Rebecca nodded. "Still, thank you."

"You're welcome." She waved cutely at Parker, who returned it and smiled.

"I'll see you later," Booth said. "Bye, Parker."

"Bye, Daddy. Bye, Doctor Bren!"

Brennan laughed and looked at Booth after Rebecca and Parker left. "He's cute. And I know I always say that."

"I told you he liked you."

Ange grinned. "You two are so--"

"Ange," both looked at her with a warning tone, then laughed. If there had ever been a better time in his life, Booth saw it now. And for Brennan, it was as sure as the same as ever before.
