B/N: Parker meets his sister and Brennan's family meets her too.

Brennan settled into her apartment after doing some shopping, having sold everything she once used for Andy, she needed baby equipment and a lot of it. Until the crib arrived, she laid Amy in the middle of her bed surrounded by pillows.

She went about painting the room a paisley green color and waited for it to dry by making phone calls to her family and Rebecca to set up a picnic lunch at a nearby park, allowing Parker to play with Hayley and Emma since they were visiting Max.

She was able to feed Amy while making the phone calls, the newborn had shown herself to be a very quiet in nature, not very fussy.

"Yeah that sounds good, Saturday around ten at the Massanutten Waterpark…sounds good Rebecca. No you're welcome to stay if you want…well then I can just pick up Parker if you want. Yeah I'll pick up Parker, thank you. Bye." She hung up and looked down at her daughter, who was sucking on her bottle. "You are very quiet unlike your father. This weekend we are going to meet your cousins and your big brother, Parker. You each have a different mother but the same father…so he'd your half-brother but still your brother."

After burping and getting Amy settled again, Brennan went back to the nursery to finish up the painting. Finishing with the paint, she clean up and was done with her shower by the time Amy was ready for another feeding. Brennan settled down after the feeding, burping and diaper change to go to sleep.

She soon found that sleep was a precious thing when taking care of a newborn but managed to get a rhythm down before hitting the states however the time zones created an issue and both were slowly getting back to the Eastern time zone.

Between Tuesday and Saturday, she kept up on the nursery and finally got it complete Friday night. Looking at the completed project, she smiled and eyed it.

A white furniture set lined the room, brown and green bedding filled the crib and a rocking chair sat in the corner. Geometric shapes covered the room, shelves on the wall held books and odds and ends. The newborn's name was stenciled onto the wall over her crib in script form. The only thing missing was sitting in a box on the kitchen table.

Turning away from the room, she went to the kitchen and looked at the box. Gently opening it, Brennan pulled out what was inside.

It was a wall plaque and was religious, it was the only religious item besides Amy's rosary that would be allowed in her home. Reading it, she smiled at the writing she had chosen and she was sure Booth would agree with it.

Blessed is This Child

Amanda Christine Booth

In the Holy Trinity

May She Find Grace and Strength

In Her Walk with God

Around the edges was Psalm 23 and a cross at the bottom; taking it to the nursery, Brennan hung it over the crib under Amy's name.

The cried of her daughter made her look down and she smiled, "you've decided to wake up again, come here." She picked up Amy and held her, "Mommy isn't religious, I find science a way of life but your father is Catholic and finds strength in God. Many cultures expect children to walk in their father's footsteps but I prefer to give you a choice.

"You'll get to choose whether you prefer Catholicism or another religion or no religion at all. This and your rosary is for your father, so he knows you have a chance to follow in his religion." She kissed her daughter's head and smiled. "I love you my daughter…my miracle."

After placing Amy back down, Brennan got sleep herself although it came in only four hour intervals.

The next morning, Brennan got Amy dressed and the diaper bag packed before grabbing everything to head out. She drove to Rebecca's house to pick up Parker and was met with a smile when she arrived.

Parker ran off the steps quickly to her car as she opened the door. "Dr. Bones, is she here…is my sister here?"

"She is, can you step back and let me get her out?" She closed her car door as Rebecca came out to meet them. "Hello Rebecca."

"Hey Temperance, so where's the little lady at?"

"In the car, I'm going to get her out." She opened the door and gently unbuckled Amy before removing her. She held her close as she shut the car door and bent down so Parker could see her. "Do you remember her name?"

"Yeah, Amy…she looks different. She's not red anymore."

Both adults chuckled and Brennan smiled, "no, she's about two weeks old now, she was born in Australia in a city called Darwin."

Parker laughed, "that's a funny name."

"It was named after Charles Darwin, a famous scientist." She stood back up and Rebecca took a look at Amy.

She's pretty much like Parker except that she's a girl and she has blue eyes. That is defiantly Seeley's nose," she chuckled and looked at Brennan. "Doing good, those first few months are a pain."

"I'm fine, I have a rhythm down with her. I'll try to have Parker back by four and hungry for supper."

Rebecca nodded as Brennan placed Amy back in her car seat. "Sounds good, you'll behave for Temperance right Parker…do everything she says and not disobey her?"

"Yes Mom."

"Please get in the back Parker."

Parker went around to the other side and got in. "Behave you, thanks for doing this, I need a day to myself and this is usually the day Seeley takes him."

Shutting the door, Brennan looked at Rebecca. "If you'd like, I could take him every other weekend to give you a break. I can take him places and let him discover new things or just take him to his hockey or baseball games."

"You don't have to."

"I guess I feel like I should, Booth is my…significant other and as his son, Parker is also my responsibility. It would also give him time to spend with his sister, but the final decision is up to you."

Rebecca looked at Brennan and nodded, "I guess it'll be fine, I'll have his calendar of events so you know what you can and can't do."

"Sounds good, I'll pick it up when I drop him off. Does he have his bathing suit and everything he needs?"

Rebecca handed her a bag, "it has his medical information in there as well, just incase something happens."

The sound of a horn made them turn to see Parker leaning into the front seat, he rolled down his window. "Let's go Dr. Bones."

"Patience is a virtue Parker, give her a minute." The window was rolled back up and they both chuckled.

"Four and very hungry."

"I doubt hungry will be on the top of the list, the way he loves waterparks, he'll be exhausted."

Brennan nodded, "my father and nieces will be there so I figured Parker would like it as well."

After another goodbye, Brennan got in her car and drove the two hours to the Massanutten Waterpark where her father and nieces would be. The entire time, she entertained Parker with stories of her excavation in Indonesia…he was content with just that and telling her about the projects he did at the Jeffersonian's after-school program.

"And we did this mock dig for dinosaur bones, it was amazing and I was chosen to be the head Paleontologist's assistant. I showed him how to brush away the dirt and excavate properly. He said I had a real hand at it…I told him I learned from the book you gave me for Christmas."

Brennan looked at him, "sounds wonderful, what type of bones did you find?"

"We found Volso Raptor bones and several wooly mammoths but to be honest they didn't set it up right. See the wooly mammoths came after the raptors, the Paleontologist said I didn't know what I was talking about so the last day of the dig I brought a book and showed him the correct timeline…he was embarrassed. I told him everyone makes mistakes and everyone is learning still."

"That's very correct, now Parker can you tell me what my niece's names are again?"

Parker sighed and eyed her through the mirror, "Hayley and Emma, Hayley is nine and Emma is seven."

"Good, are you upset?" She looked at him through the mirror, "if so I'm sorry I made you upset."

"No, I just miss Dad." He smiled and looked at her, "are you going to be my step-mom?"

Brennan eyed him and shrugged, "I don't know, right now me and your father are taking our relationship slow. Perhaps out of order but still slow. I do love him and Amy and you."

"That's okay, just as long as you're here…can I call you something besides Dr. Bones?"

She nodded, "you can call me Tempe if you like, that's what my father and friends call me."

"Tempe, it's funny." He laughed and Brennan smiled.

The talk of after-school projects began again and soon they were at the waterpark. Brennan was surprise to find Russ and Amy with Max and the girls, she got out as they came over.

"Hey sis, how are you?" Russ hugged her and smiled, he looked at Parker. "Who's this little guy?"

"Mr. Max!" Parker ran to max and hugged him, "are you going to be there on Monday for the Dissection Project, we're dissecting frogs."

"I'm afraid I stick to non-animal projects." He looked at Russ and Amy and the girls, "this is Parker Booth, Agent Booth's son. Hayley, Emma why don't you say hello."

Parker soon was talking the girls away and Brennan took the time to open the back and get Amy out. All three adults stared in shock. Russ was the first to ask, "who's this?"

"This is my daughter Amanda, but we call her Amy." She grabbed Parker's bag and the diaper bag before shutting the door.

"When did you get pregnant, I thought you were in Indonesia?" Max looked at her and she smiled.

Brennan spoke with them as they walked into the Waterpark, as it was freezing outside. "Booth and I started our relationship shortly before we both left for opposite places, I found out during the excavation. I gave birth to Amy on Christmas day, Booth flew in to be there for me."

"So you two are actually dating?"

Brennan shook her head, "we haven't been on a date, as I told Parker, we've done things out of order but then we were never one for tradition."

The day progressed and everyone had fun, Brennan even managed to get Amy, her daughter, into the water and get her accustomed to the environment. Parker hit it off with Hayley and Emma, playing Marco Polo with them and chase after eating lunch before getting in the water.

In all, Brennan found the day was worth it…she had her family, including Parker, with her and everything was fine. Max and Russ seemed to enjoy their niece and granddaughter, not wanting to give her up but eventually did. The most rewarding part of the day was the part where Parker held his sister for the first time.

"Parker look at me." Max held up a camera to take a picture of Brennan, Parker and Amy; Parker sat in Brennan's lap and in his arms was Amy. "Say Cheese."

"Cheese!"

Max showed them the picture and Parker smiled, "that's perfect to send to Dad…can we?"

"We can."

Brennan said her goodbyes and took Parker home, getting his schedule as she did. After a long day, she went home and placed Amy in her crib, preparing to get ready for bed but printed out the picture of her, Parker and Amy before she did so…to send to Booth in the next letter.

She decided then that she not only had a daughter, she also had a son. It was a good day after all and two days later she'd be back at the Jeffersonian solving crimes with Perotta again.

A/N: Next, Booth recieves a letter and photos and we meet some of his team.
