Hey! I hope we're all still friends here! I know it's probably no excuse, but it's been a rough few days and I really haven't had a chance to write up anything. What with school two weeks away, fixing up the house and everything that's happening in my life right now. . .Well, I've just been unable to update this story. Busy, busy, busy! But thank you if you've kept checking; I know what it's like to read a story that doesn't get updated for weeks, sometimes, and I strive to not make this one of those stories. And as such, I have made myself stay up late to do at least two more stories.

Uhm, well, I'm still working on that 3,000-some-odd-word story. Should have that up sometime Thursday afternoon, but then only that one for tomorrow, if not just one more later that night, because I have a lot to do. Anywho! Part Two of Parker's Here!

Stay for the story's A/N at the end please! It'll clear up another aspect of this story that wasn't really explained.

Parker's Coming! Part Two

Takes place two months after Season 6 Finale.

"Dad!" Parker burst into the apartment. Behind him was his mom who smiled as he ran to Booth.

"Hey Buddy!" Booth had to refrain from picking up his son, for he'd grown too old for him to lift.

Brenna came in from the living room. "Hey Parker," she greeted once she saw him.

"Hi Temperance!" The boy raced over to her as Rebecca came in and shut the door. Booth noticed for the first time the large suit case she was carrying and offered his help. He led them into the living room while he excused himself to Parker's room.

"You all ready for your trip?" Brennan asked, sitting where she'd previously been on the couch before Booth got the door. Parker took a seat close beside her.

"No way. I haven't even had dinner yet," he laughed.

Brennan just smiled as he shrugged off his jacket and grabbed the remote. Brennan turned her attention to Rebecca, who held her phone in her hand. "Hello, Rebecca."

"Hey, Temperance. Sorry, I'm just sliding my plans by Mark for this weekend," she apologized. "I still have to pack."

"It's fine."

Rebecca gave a small laugh then tucked her phone in her pocket. "You look great, by the way."

"Oh," Brennan glanced at her stomach, placed a hand over the bump, then looked back at the blond. "Thank you."

"Hormones kicking in, yet?" Rebecca asked knowingly.

Brennan sighed, but before she could speak, Booth entered the room from putting away the large, overstuffed suitcase. "Ohhh yeah. So much so that Bones here," Booth said to Parker, eyebrows raised. "Even bought us a little soda. Caffeinated.

"Oh I heard about that." Rebecca said, talking to Brennan. "Thank you, by the way. Parker's always wanting soda. No thanks to Seeley."

"It's vey unhealthy. But seeing as it's a special occasion, I feel open to it. I know there is a certain aspect of drinking that bonds a father and son," the anthropologist analyzed. "but I don't know why. Although it may have something to do with the father's vision of one day sharing an alcoholic beverage with their child."

Rebecca laughed. "That's certainly a theory."

"Hey, hey. Don't start talking alcohol around my kid." Booth interfered. "Ex-nay on the ink-dray. And Rebecca, don't encourage her. She still thinks she can stay up past ten when she has work at seven thirty every morning." Brennan rolled her eyes as he pointed a finger at her.

"Mom, can I show Dad and Temperance my passport?" Parker suddenly tore his attention from the television.

"Parkerrr," Rebecca groaned, leaning on the arm of the couch and putting a hand over her face. "Why?"

"It has my picture in it, and it's cool!" He smiled.

"Honey, I already put everything you'll need for the trip in that over crowded suit case. Everything you need for your father's is in your backpack. Change of clothes, video games, toys-" he cut her off.

"So I can't?"

"Hey, Buddy, it's okay. We'll get it out tomorrow before we go anywhere. I look forward to seeing it. That way your mom doesn't have to deal with it, okay?"

Parker nodded his understanding then leaned back into the couch next to Brennan.

Rebecca laughed then turned to Booth. "I actually wanted to go through everything with you. I know I'll be with him, but I just want to be sure of a few things."

"Right." Booth nodded. "Ah, you said he had a backpack?"

"Yes, it's in the van."

"Well we can walk and talk."

"Okay." Rebecca nodded. "Parker, I'm leaving."

"Kay, mom." Parker hopped off the couch.

"Gimme a hug. I love you. I'll see you Monday afternoon at the airport. Call me or tell your dad if you think you forgot anything, okay?"

"Alright. Love you mom."

"Love you, Sweetie." Rebecca let go of her son, ruffling his hair. "Temperance, it was nice seeing you again. You really do look great."

"Thank you." She smiled. "I'm told it gets worse."

Rebecca laughed. "Don't take that information lightly, believe me."

Brennan smiled on as her partner and Rebecca turned to leave. Once her and Booth were out the door, Parker turned back to the couch.

"So Temperance."

"So Parker." All her attention was on him.

"Is it true that babies will kick you on the inside?"

Brennan nodded at him, surprised his mind switched so fast. "Yes, that is very true."

"Can I feel your baby kick?"

Now she laughed, putting her head back on the cushion. "No, Parker. He, or she, hasn't started kicking just yet. It'll be just a few more months."

"Oh okay. Well, when he or she does, will I be able to feel it?"

"Yes. You most certainly will."

"Cool."

A few moments' silence passed as they watched the TV. Parker had picked a cartoon the anthropologist didn't recognize, but it seemed humorous enough.

"Temperance?" Parker looked over at her.

"Yes?"

"Do you want the baby to be a boy or a girl?"

"Hmm, well," her and Booth hadn't discussed it in length at all at this point, though Parker's question suddenly made her think that maybe they should. They still needed a serious start on names and right now, nothing was coming to mind. They'd only just told everyone last week about the pregnancy. Parker and Rebecca had known for nearly three weeks. She was just over two months in. Time was ticking and before they knew it, that fateful day would arrive. "I think since your father already has a boy – you – I believe he would like a girl. Although that's not to say he wouldn't be perfectly happy with another boy. Me personally. . .I suppose I would not mind having a girl." At this, she smiled to herself. Booth's little girl. . .

"I think I'd like to have a baby sister. But girls are. . ."

She finished for him. "Girly?"

Parker laughed. "Yes!"

"I think I understand."

"Hey Temperance?"

She grinned at the continued use of her first name. It seemed wrong for him to call her 'Bones' or 'Brennan'. Temperance was something she'd have to get used to, since she didn't like it all that much. "Mhm?"

"Can I have that soda now?"

"Of course."

"Yes!"

She continued to laugh as he ran into the kitchen.

Bonjour, Boneo-Goers! Thanks for staying to the end of the story. Important info.

A/N: Someone (you know who you are) said that 12 isn't in Elementary school anymore, it's the 6th Grade, which is Middle School. When I was writing this story, I completely forgot that some School Districts are different, especially in different States and Countries. Where I live, K-6 is Elementary school, and that was completely normal for me until I found out that in another town not far from mine, the school district has K-5 be Elementary school and 6-8 was Middle School, and that was foreign to me. I could go back and change it if you want – majority vote, I guess – but for now, like I said, it's FanFic, just go with it. You guys are awesome, STAY THAT WAY! And thank you once again for the reviews.

(Again, if people didn't read this A/N, that's their loss and they'll be confused.)

P.S.: This chapter and the one previous to it take place a week after the one I'll be posting (or should be posting) tomorrow. Can you guess what it will be about?
