Booth shifted slightly in his seat when I had told Zach "Love you." But I started up a conversation with Parker so Booth couldn't ask questions,
"So Parker. Do you like the new color for my room?"
"Yeah! Dad can I paint my room too?"
Seeley gave me a look saying "Thanks a lot" so I thought I'd save him,
"If there's left over paint would you like to make your room the same color as mine?" his eyes lit up,
"Can I?"
"Of course! We could have matching rooms. Would you like that?"
"Yeah! Can I daddy?"
"Of course you can buddy." I looked at Seeley and smiled,
"Saved you."
"Yeah, you were digging yourself into a hole there."
I laughed, "I know." Parker and I kept talking all the way home and finally when we got home there sat the whole squint squad.
"Hey guys!"
"Alex!" Angela came running up to me and engulfed me in a hug.
"Hey Ang."
"Alright enough with the hugging let's start painting." I rolled my eyes at Booth but I had to smile too. Then Angie got a look on her face,
"How about Brennan and I take Alex shopping while you boys paint? It would mean less people in the room and we would be back by the time you would be done" Booth sighed,
"I'm not a very good painter Booth so Angela's got a valid point." I smiled knowing that Booth couldn't deny Brennan.
"Alright." Yes! I hugged booth and Jack and quickly kissed Zach on the lips before taking off with the girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Booth pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched as she ran off after hugging Jack and I and then kissing Zach who was a bit red I might add. Jack was smirking at him,
"Dude…"
"So Zach." His eyes went wide and Jack laughed,
"Dead. You are so dead." I smirked. I loved that he was scared of me. Because I was beginning to view Alex as my daughter and just like any dad would do when a boy starts to date his daughter he lays down the rules.
"I don't care if you and Alex go out, but I promise you if anything happens to her. You are dead. If she gets hurt or by some chance you get her pregnant. You are dead. If she gets her heart broken because of you. You are dead. Have I made myself clear?" He gulped down a lump in his throat,
"If I cause Alex any pain or something that can dramatically change her laugh for the worse I will be in big trouble."
"Not big trouble but dead. And just…" I let out a sigh, "take care of her. I know you will and I know you probably won't do any of the things I've listed but…She's like my kid you know." He smiled slightly,
"I know Booth. And if I do any of the things you have listed then I would hope you would follow through and what you have said." I smiled at him. He really did care for her.
