~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Booth pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was almost midnight when I finally got home. I was sure that my ex-wife would be ticked about me not being there to pick up Parker, but I was sure that Alex had it under control. When I pulled up I noticed the light was still on in the living room. I opened the door,
"Alex, I'm home." No response. I found a Firefly case lying on the table, "Alex?" I walked into the living room and laughed at what I saw. The super squint and Alex asleep on the couch. She was all snuggled up to him and his arm was around her.

I woke to the sound of laughing. I opened my eyes to see Booth smiling and laughing.
"Shut up Booth." I buried my head into Zach's chest who only stirred slightly.
"Alright, alright. Hey did ah, did-"
"Parker's asleep in his bed. I fed him, played with, and watched a movie. He brushed his teeth and said his prayers." I said all this without opening my eyes,
"Thanks you're the best." I felt him kiss the top of my head before walking away,
"I expect payment." He laughed and I went back to sleep.

I opened Parker's door and I heard him call for me,
"Daddy?" I walked in and sat down beside him,
"Hey buddy. Sorry I wasn't here earlier. Work ran a little late today. Did you and Alex have fun?"
"Yeah she gave Sully and me a cookie before dinner but told us not to tell you." I smiled because I had always told Parker no cookies before dinner, "Is her boyfriend Zach still here?"
"Yeah he's still here."
"He talks a lot." Parker's eyes were drooping again,
"Yeah he does. Go back to sleep bud."
"Ok. Night daddy." I gave him a hug and kissed him on the head,
"Night bud." I walked back out into the living room from the hall to find that Zach and Alex were gone. I looked outside but there was no car. So he didn't leave. Just out of curiosity I checked her room. Preparing myself to give a lecture I walked in, but to my relief they weren't there. But if they weren't there then where were they? I walked into the living room this time to check again and found them asleep on the floor with blankets and pillows. I smiled at the sight of them. She had her head on his chest and his arm was around her. He would die if he knew what he was doing. Still, I was going to have to talk to her tomorrow about some rules. Rules that I thought I would NEVER have to give because I had son.
"Oh boy." I went into my room and lay down on the bed. Sleep over took me.
