I'm trying to decide if I should change point of views in the upcoming chapters, let me know if you think that I should. Also any advice on this story is welcome. Thanks. R&R. (:

Also, I realized that I didn't put a disclaimer on the last two chapters so the disclaimer for this chapter can act as one for them too.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bones.

After coming back from the park, I feel kind of out of place. I was invited to stay, yeah, but should I? I can't leave at the moment though, because there's a kid on my lap. We're watching spongebob, and Temperance is picking it apart. Booth's making us dinner, who knew the guy good cook? Well, I guess I don't know quite yet.

"Dinner's ready." Booth tells us from the kitchen.

We all get up and go to the table, where I can see four grilled cheese sandwiches.

"Why'd you put on an apron?" I laugh at him as he twirls around in a circle.

"'Cause I look sexy in it." He informs me.

I just don't get how somebody can look sexy in an apron. Apparently neither does Tempe, who smiles and shakes her head at me. I try not to laugh.

Taking a seat next to me, Parker grabs the sandwich from my plate. "Hey!"

"This one has more cheese." He tells me, taking a bite.

When I'm finished eating, Temperance looks over at me. "I made up the guest bedroom, if you want to sleep here." She tells me.

"Thank you."

"Dad, can you help me build a fort?" Parker asks, he sticks out his bottom lip.

"Well, how can I say no to that?" The two of them put their plates in the dishwasher and go into what I assume is Parker's room.

"Would you like to go shopping tomorrow?" Temperance asks me, breaking the silence. Um, is she going to buy me more things?

"Why?" I really hate feeling like a charity case.

"I threw your old clothing away. It was a lost case."

"Cause?" I smile.

Booth comes from Parker's room with a cape around his neck. "Thing One has requested Wonderwoman and Thing Two to go and see his fort."

"Who are you exactly?" Wonderwoman asks.

"Superman, of course." He grins, and asks us if we like his cape.

"Do you think capes are sexy too?" I ask him. He does, of course.

We all go inside, and I admit I am a little impressed. There's a whole bunch of blankets draped over chairs, making it really roomy inside. There's a disco ball in the center, and I see Parker sporting his own cape.

"Hey Thing One."

His face scrunches up. "I'm Batman, duh." I apologize.

"Can we sleep in here tonight?" Parker asks.

Booth and Temperance exchange looks, before they both nod.

"Alyxx too?"

"If Thing Two wants too, Thing Two can."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

When I wake up, it's really hot inside the fort. I look around, and can only see Parker. I guess I don't blame them for ditching us. I should probably get up and go, right? I don't want to overstay my welcome.

I walk out into the living room, and put on my shoes that Temperance bought me.

"Going somewhere?"

I turn around, and see Booth and Tempe on the couch, drinking what appears to be coffee.

"You know, it's weird for people to be up this early." I tell them. It's only five o' clock.

"You don't have to leave, you know." Temperance tells me. Her smile is warm, and sincere. "I was actually looking forward to shopping." She seems dissappointed, and I can't tell if she really is or not.

"I just, ya know." I look for the words.

"I'd tell you if I wanted to get rid of you." Booth laughs.

"Gee, thanks." I actually doubt that he would though.

"Where'd everybody go?" Parker yells from his room.

"In here." We say in unison.

Parker walks in just as Booth's phone rings. He loudly groans, and Temperance sighs.

"We've got a case." He pauses. "Rebecca's is five thousand miles away."

"I can watch Parker." I suggest. Rebecca's Parker's mom, right? I doubt they'll go for it. I'm a stranger, a street kid, offering to watch their kid in an extremely nice apartment. To my surprise though, they do.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"You cheated!" Parker exclaims after I beat him at Candyland. It's a little after four, and we've been alone all day. We've played just about every board game in the house, even the scientific ones. Parker's beat me at all of them, so now I'm cheating of course.

"How can anyone cheat at Candyland? You watched me pick up the cards!" He eyes me suspiciously, before announcing that he wants food.

We go into the kitchen and look through the pantry, Parker obviously doesn't see anything he likes.

"Do you know how to make pancakes?" He asks me, as he climbs up onto the island.

"It can't be that hard, right?" I get out the recipe book and see that pancakes call for one and a half cups of flour. I start to pour it into a bowl next to Parker when he yells, causing me to spill flour on my shirt.

"What?"

"A spider!"

I scream, as it crawls across the counter. Parker decides that flour will kill it, and he dumps a whole bunch on the spider. It seems to slow it down a little bit, so I throw some on it too. Parker then grabs a handful of the flour and throws it at me. I blow some in his face, and laugh. Thus started our flour fight. By the time we are done, we're both gasping for air and white as ghosts. I looked around the kitchen. Crap. It's a total disaster.

"We're back."

"Uh oh." Parker whispers.
