"Where do you think you are going?" Drew says.

"I'm going to my dads and you are not going to stop me!" Parker says.

Inside Mr. and Mrs. Gal are looking out the window and see what's going on. Mr. Gal goes outside while Trey calls Booth.

When Drew sees Mr. Gal come outside he stops. "This is none of your concern, you can go back inside!" Drew yells.

"I'm not going anywhere until Parker is in that cab, alone, on his way to his fathers." He replies calmly.

"Like I said, this is none of your concern, just a little family disagreement." Drew growls, stressing the word family.

"You are NOT my family!" Parker says. "Right now Mr. Gal is more my family than you and my mother are!" He says mother like it is poisonous.

"Do NOT talk bad about your mother." Drew yells.

"Well she doesn't care about me, so what's the problem? She cares more about herself, and being happy than me, other wise she never would have married you after you hit me! Now she can live her life the way she has always wanted to!"

Just then a black SUV pulls up and Tempe gets out. "Come on Parker, get in the car."

"Oh thank God." Parker mumbles as he goes to get in the car, Drew walks up to Tempe.

"Dr. Booth this has nothing to do with you, you are his step-mother."

"And you are his step-father, you have as much right as I do. So back off!" She says calmly.

"Parker dose not live with you, I have more of a say!"

"You are not his father, nor his mother, you have zero say, just as I do."

"Just because you are pregnant don't think for a second that I won't hit you!" He move his arm to backhand her. She sees it and moves so she can grab his arm and flip him onto his back, and puts her foot on his throat. She then pulls out a gun, cocks it, and points it at him.

"Seeley finally got me that gun permit. Oh and you and Rebecca will leave him alone until HE is ready. GOT IT?!" She pushes down with her foot to help make her point, then uncocks the gun, takes her foot of Drews' throat and strides to the car. She turns to Treys' father, "Thank you for watching out for Parker, Seeley and I appreciate it." She smiles warmly at Mr. Gal, gets into the SUV and pulls away.

"You okay Tempe? Did you hurt yourself?"

She smiles "Just like your father, always worried. No I didn't hurt myself, I am fine, but hungry. You want some ice cream?"

Parker laughs, "Only you could hold a gun to a mans head then 30 seconds later talk about ice cream." He shakes his head, "Umm, thanks, for back there I mean, and yes, I would love some ice cream."

"Okay, call your father and tell him we are stopping, ask him if he wants some." She throws the phone to him.

"Hey dad Tempe picked me up and we're stopping for ice cream, you want some?... Okay will be home soon." Parker hangs up the phone as they are pulling up to the Speedy Whip drive thru.

"He want any?"

"Yep, but not what you are having! He wants mint chocolate chip and I will have, ummm, chocolate chip cookie dough."

"Welcome to Speedy Whip can I take your order?" A muffled voice comes from a speaker outside.

"Um yes we will have 1 pint of mint chocolate chip, 1 pint of chocolate chip cookie dough, 1 pint of blue moo cookie dough 1 pint of butter pecan and 1 pint of black raspberry chip." (Black Raspberry Chip is a Greaters best. If you ever go to Cincinnati go to Greaters Ice Cream and get it!)

"That will be $15.36 please pull around."

"Please tell me that you are not going to mix those!" Parker makes a face.

"Well…. I thought about it."

"Things that make you go ugh." Parker shudders.

Tempe laughs, "get my purse and grab a 20 out of my wallet will ya?"

Parker grabs the money and hands it to her "Pregnant women are scary sometimes, especially when they have a gun and then cravings."

They got their ice cream and head home talking more about Tempe's weird cravings. They are laughing when they walk in the door. Tempe hands out the ice cream then gets spoons for everyone. Booth reads the labels on her ice cream and makes the same face Parker did.

"Are you planning on mixing those?"

"Will the two of you stop it! I will eat what I want to!"

"I said it once and I will see it again, pregnant women can be scary especially when they have a gun and then a craving!" Parker laughs.

"What do you mean 'when they have a gun?'" Booth asks.

"Umm well ya see…" Tempe

"Oh wow, he didn't actually get you a gun permit." Parker says slowly.

"Temperance," Booth says warningly.

"Seeley he threatened to hit me!"

"WHAT?"

Well he said 'just because you are pregnant doesn't mean I won't hit you!' So I threw him on his back put my foot to his throat, and then, I uh, pulled out the gun."

Booth opens his mouth, then closes it then opens in again. "I don't even know how to respond to that." Booth starts laughing "I can see you with your foot on Drew's throat with a gun in your hand."

They are all laughing and enjoying their ice cream, with only a few faces made from Booth and Parker.

"Um, will I be able to stay here for a while?" Parker asks.

"You can stay as long as you like Parker." Tempe says. Booth nods in agreement.

"Thanks. Oh and I decided a while before I got home that I am not going to be joining the Army, but I don't want mom to know." Parker says slowly, then takes a deep breath. "There is something that I should have to you guys a long time ago…."\
