You'll all be please to know that I'm working on a really long chapter. The first one should be close to 3,500 words, and the second chapter should be only about 1,000. So I'm only posting this small one for now. Don't freak out. And please read the information I post after the Fic, thanks!

Disclaimer: Parker isn't mine, Brennan and Booth aren't mine. They belong to Hart Hanson and Stephan Nathan and Kathy Reichs, blah, blah, blaahhh.

Parker's Coming!

Takes place two months after Season 6 Finale

"Booth, wake up. Parker's coming today." Brennan leaned over her partner, who lay on his stomach, sleeping. Another quick glance to the clock told her it was after eight. She huffed, shaking his bear shoulder again. "Come on, Booth."

He grumbled. His head was turned away from her, but she could tell he was waking up.

Parker was leaving for a school field trip to England. The twelve year old had been talking about it nonstop for four weeks. Every weekend they had him, whether it was at her house or Booth's, the boy raved and raved about the trip. Relaying information the adults had heard already. Only a handful of kids from the total four hundred at his Elementary school were allowed to go, and only if they were able to pay the large sum of money required.

There was flier after flier to bring home and Parker insisted that his mom and dad read them all, even Brennan. Rebecca and Booth needed to read them to discuss and pay, and Brennan was all part of they boys' plan to encourage his parents on what a good experience it would be for him to go. Booth had explained this all to her, saying that's how the mind of a twelve year old boy worked.

So, after nearly a month of hearing about it, and three weeks out of that month reading it and paying for it, the trip was finally coming together. Parker would be leaving Monday afternoon on a flight that would take hours. Saturday and Sunday were all Booth had to spend with his son. Meanwhile Rebecca had had all week.

Brennan had offered to help them pay, feeling some sort of responsibility for Parker as well, – maybe the tickets and transportation, or some spending money – but her partner had simply said no thanks. So, feeling some alone time with the two of them was needed, Brennan hung around Parker while Booth and Rebecca discussed how it was going to go.

It was Saturday, and Rebecca said she was going to bring Parker by at noon, and the apartment – his apartment – was hardly in any shape for three people to be living in. If only for a few days.

"It's eight 'o' clock," she tried. Nothing. "Come on, Booth, or I'll rip the blankets off of you." Nothing. She huffed again. She was about to pull the blankets off, as promised, when he spoke finally.

"Calm down, woman, I'm awake. Never threaten a man with the cold."

She smiled down at him, holding herself up n an elbow. Lying on her stomach was no longer comfortable since her baby bump had begun to develop. "You promise?"

Now he moved, turning his head to her and yawning. "Yeah, sure. Cross my heart. Whatever keeps me warm." He opened his eyes to see her looking down at him. "What's a pretty lady like you doing way up there?" He flirted groggily. "Why not give some early-morning sugar to daddy?"

"Wow."

"That's all? Did my morning charm not do anything for you?"

"No," she sighed fondly. "That was effective."

He looked on at her, confused. "Then where's my sugar?"

"Probably in the cabinet where it always is. It's your apartment." She smirked knowingly.

"Okay, even I know you know what I meant." He accused.

She laughed at him. At his expectant eyebrow raise she leaned down, surprising him with a kiss to his shoulder.

"Bones-"

"Brush your teeth," she grinned. "Then I'll kiss you."

"What? Seriously, Bones?"

"Seriously Booth." Brennan mimicked, getting out of the bed. She caught her balance as she stood, remembering once again the slight bump on her abdomen. "You know," she said once she reached the bathroom door. He turned his head to look her direction. "For me being the one that's pregnant, you sure are acting needy. I think the hormones skipped me and jumped onto you."

"Oh ha-ha. Go take your shower."

She did.


Thank you if you're doing what I asked and are reading this A/N.

So, about Parker's trip to England. Remember in Season 7 when he comes back after being gone for so long? Well, if you've seen interviews with HH and SN lately, the news from them for the past two years has been: Parker now lives in England. Which explains the lack of seeing him. They said that that's just how they "see it in their minds". So in the Bones Universe, Parker lives in England, with Rebecca, not in the U.S. Bummer right!? So, just in case some of you didn't know, that's that.

And my plan for this Fic, is that Parker goes to England on a school field trip (for at twelve he's still in Elementary school, his last year), and is accompanied by Rebecca for a Volunteer Parent Guide person. You know, where a parent gets a group of kids and they have to watch that many so it's not just one teacher watching thirty some-odd children. Anyways, so my plan while they're there is, somehow, while watching Parker and a group of little kids, she gets a really good job offer, or applies for a job or see's an opportunity there and acts on it once they get back to the U.S. I don't care how it happens, I don't envision it any further in detail than that, and I won't elaborate on it until later, but that's just what the plan is. Don't worry, I make a whole chapter of it later that takes place in Season 7, but that's what happens so I can explain Parker's absence as well. And then a few months after Christine is born he visits and then has to go back and we've all seen that episode, so yeah.

And, Spoiler Alert! Parker gets in touch with his family in the U.S. and I make a few Fics out of it. They're really sweet in my opinion, and it starts off in Season 7 and one more leads into early Season 8 stuff. Awesome! Kay, so I think that's it. I'll let you guys know in the bottom Author's Notes if I forget anything. So until then, just skim through this bolded wording at the bottom of each fic. Thank you for still reading! Kinda sucks for the people who don't/didn't read this (even though it's long and is half the fic) because all this is going to happen in the storyline later and they're gonna leave reviews like, "What? You just kind of put that there, I have no idea." So if you read this. Thank you so much!
