I took quite a bit of liberty with this chapter, as far as how much is actually taken from the sides. The idea was to be inspired by each set of sides, not necessarily to try to predict exactly what each episode will entail, but I thought I should point out that nothing in the spoilers suggests that Parker will be in this episode. This is just the story that I came up with when thinking about the idea that Brennan and Booth will be buying a house together at some point this season.

Parker Booth bounded into the living room to find his Dad and Bones laying on the couch. He was glad to see that Bones was asleep because that meant he could have some of his Dad's time without being interrupted. It was the first full weekend the three of them had spent together, before Brennan would return to her apartment at night, in order to give Parker and his Dad some alone time. But, because Parker had suggested earlier in the day that once they bought the house Brennan would always be at his Dad's they had decided they might as well go ahead and start tonight.

"Hey, Dad, I've been thinking about the new house."

Booth adjusted on the couch so that Parker had room to sit down beside of him, opposite of where Brennan laid curled up asleep, her head resting on Booth's knee. "Are you excited? We're going to go see it in the morning."

"Does it have a pool?"

"Yes, Bones wanted to make sure we had a pool for when you were with us."

"Good, I was thinking that I'd really miss swimming at her building if she moved somewhere else."

"Once we move in, you can help me paint your room. I think you're big enough to help me with something like that now."

"That'd be awesome Dad. Are you going to paint the baby's room too?"

"Probably."

"Who's going to help you with that? The baby will be too little and Bones' stomach is like gigantic, I don't think she'll be able to paint very well right now."

Booth couldn't suppress a laugh and his loud chuckle caused his girlfriend to roll over in her sleep and he waited until she settled back onto his lap before he spoke. "Yeah, don't say that in front of Bones, okay Pal?"

"That the baby can't paint? Bones should already know that, she's super smart Dad."

"No, don't say that her belly is gigantic."

"But it is."

"No girl ever wants to be told their stomach, or any of their other body parts are big, ever. Just never say that to a girl, trust me on this one."

Parker picked up a tortilla chip from the bowl on the coffee table in front of them. "Okay, if you say so, but there's a baby in there, so it's supposed to be big, and I don't see why it matters but, whatever."

"Just trust me pal. Anyway, you can help me paint the baby's room too, if you want."

"I really just want to help with my room, I want to make sure you do it right. But, I guess I can help with whatever, if I'm bored."

"We can talk about it later."

"So, the new baby, she's going to live with you and Bones all the time right?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you ask me before you made Bones pregnant?"

"I didn't exactly do it on purpose pal, I didn't really ask her either." Luckily for Booth that answer seemed to appease his son and he didn't ask for any further explanation as to how exactly Bones had gotten pregnant without anyone being consulted on the matter.

"I'll still live with Mom and Drew though, right Dad?"

"Yeah, Parker nothing is going to change for you, you'll still be with me as often as you are now, every other weekend, and sometimes during the week when your Mom has to work. I'll still be at all your games only now Bones and the baby might there too."

"That's cool Dad. It's kinda sad though."

"What's sad Parks?"

"That the baby won't be able to go see Mom and Drew, she'll always be stuck here with you two."

"Yeah, that will suck for her." Booth smiled at the simple way his son was expressing his feelings.

"I wish she was a boy."

"I have a brother but it was never much fun for me. There were a lot of times when I wished Jared had been a girl." Booth didn't finish the thought out loud, but he had often assumed that if either he or Jared had been a girl, that their father wouldn't have hit them nearly as often.

"So a sister will be even less fun?"

"I've never had a sister. I guess you'll have to tell me after she gets here. At least you don't have to live with her all the time."

"That's true. And that house is pretty big in the pictures so even when I am there, I can probably just avoid the baby, especially if she's gonna cry a lot."

"For a while all she'll do is cry and eat and sleep. And poop," Booth added that last part much to his son's delight. Little boys were always overly fascinated by bodily functions and sounds.

"How long do they poop in their pants Dad?"

"A couple years I guess. It depends on the kid. You used to have stinky diapers. Sometimes they'd even be green."

Parker held his nose, "That's gross Dad." He got up to leave but stopped to glance back at his Dad and Bones cuddled on the couch. "Dad, do you love Bones?"

"Of course I do."

"Are you guys going to get married?"

"Probably not anytime soon."

"Okay, I like her too Dad, I'm glad she's going to be around a lot more now."

"So am I."

"Night Dad. Tell Bones and the baby goodnight too, if they ever wake up."

As Parker bounded around the corner, into his bedroom, Brennan raised her head from her position on Booth's lap, "You are good with him. And I'm glad that he doesn't seem to be overly disturbed by the pregnancy."

"Hey, you were supposed to be asleep."

"I'm a very good actress Booth."

"Yes, yes you are. Come on Miss Roberts, let's go to bed."

"Who's Miss Roberts?"

"Julia Roberts? She's a movie actress."

Brennan mouthed an "oh" as Booth helped her to her feet and they headed toward his bedroom. "My abdomen isn't really 'gigantic,' is it?" Booth just grinned, knowing that there was no good answer to that question, as he took her hand and aimed her toward the bed.
