The next day, after Parker dropped Molly off with Angela, he and Alyvia went to go visit their parents.
When they reached their room, Booth was eating pudding and Brennan was still unconscious.
"Hey dad." Parker said.
"Hey Parks." Booth saw a tuff of straight dark brown hair ruffle near Parker's shoulder. "Hi Sweet Pea," he added.
Alyvia poked her head around Parker's shoulder.
"Hi dad." Alyvia looked towards her mother.
"You can still hold her hand Sweet Pea. I was when they let me out of this damn bed for five minutes." She silently walked over to her mother and held her hand as she had been for the past five days.
"So what did the doctor say?" Parker asked as he walked towards his dad's bed.
"Said I'll have to be in the hospital for another week because of my burns. She checked Bones and didn't say anything to me, so I'm hoping that nothing's wrong." They sat in silence.
"Livs was worried about mom all night." Booth looked towards his oldest daughter and her mother.
"I was too Parks. Every noise that seemed out of place made me call the nurses. It was a good thing I had the nice one or else the one time that something would've been wrong, no one would've came." They sat in silence once again and then Parker's phone began ringing.
"Hello?"
"What?"
"Did you call your mom?"
"I'm so sorry Lily."
"I know you're not mad at me, but I'm mad at me."
"Okay. Keep me updated."
"Yes Lils I know that you know to keep me updated."
"I love you so much Lily."
"Yep I'll try and set up a video chat with your mom before our little peanut is born."
"I'll talk to you soon babe."
"Yep. Love you. Bye." Parker hung up the phone and looked at his father.
"Lily's water broke."
"I'm sorry Parks."
"You have nothing to apologize for. I would've came anyway." Booth's face set into a frown.
"Well why don't you go home so you'll have access to a computer. If Sweet Pea wants to stay then leave her, I'm sure Angie or Hodgins would come pick her up." Parker nodded.
"Livs." Parker said. She looked up. "I'm going home probably for the rest of the day. Do you wanna stay here and have Uncle Jack and Aunt Angie pick you up later or do you wanna just come home with me now." Alyvia looked to her dad.
"Do you want me here?" She asked timidly.
"Of course Sweet Pea." She looked back to Parker. "I wanna stay here Parks. But thanks for offering." He nodded and walked towards the door. As he was almost out the door, Alyvia called to him.
"Parks." He turned around. "Remember, Tyler Henry for a boy and Shelby Elizabeth for a girl." Parker quickly went back into the room and kissed her forehead. "Thanks Livs. I'll mention them to Lily once they're born."
"Welcome Parks." He walked out of the room and silence fell upon them. Booth sat in his bed, still eating his pudding, and Alyvia sat in the chair, holding her mom's hand.
"Sweet Pea." Alyvia looked up. "Come 'ere." Alyvia let go of her mother's hand and walked over to her father's bed.
"You know you can sit down. I won't bite." She sat down on the edge of the mattress, her head hung. Booth sighed.
"Okay Sweet Pea, spill. What's wrong?" She lifted her head, her blue eyes wide with the guilt in them.
"Nothing's wrong dad."
"Livs, I know something's wrong. Your eyes are exactly like your mother's and they give you away." She again ducked her head, but not before he saw the pain when he compared her eyes to Brennan's.
"Alyvia Joy Booth, look at me." She raised her head, the shock on her face evident due to the fact that her father had used her full name, which she couldn't remember the last time it had been used.
"What is wrong Sweet Pea?" She bit back a sob.
"I told mom I hated her before you guys had left that morning. She was telling me I wasn't caring enough about my school work or my friends. She told me I was spending to much time on my laptop.
"I flipped out on her. I told her that I was ranked first in my class. And that Mikey, Taylor, and Carlie had been helping me on what I was working on and that what I had been working on was for you and her. It was going to be a surprise. As I stormed out I yelled at her that I hated her."
"Livs." He said sympathetically.
"Dad, the last thing I said to my mother was I hated her. The last thing she said to me was that I spent too much time on my laptop." She looked up at him with her blue eyes shining with tears.
"If she dies those will be the last words to won't know how much I love her, how even though she doesn't say the right things all the time she still gives the best advice out of everyone I know. She won't know dad." A stray tear fell down her cheek. Booth wiped it away.
"Sweet Pea, your mom will always know how much you love her. No matter what you say to her." Alyvia sniffled.
"Okay dad." She hugged him and they both fell asleep.
Alyvia woke up to a vibrating in her pocket. She reached in and put it to her ear.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hey Livs. Is mom up?" Parker asked.
She looked over at her mom's bed. "No. Neither is dad." She heard a sigh.
"Well Lily had the baby. Six pounds, thirteen ounces. 20 inches long. Shelby Elizabeth Booth." Parker paused and Alyvia smiled. "And coming in at six pounds even, 19 inches long, is Tyler Henry Booth."
"Twins?"
"Yep. Doctor said that Tyler was hiding behind Shelby." Alyvia smiled.
"Lily liked my names?"
"Well yes, but it turns out I wasn't the only one who hadn't thought of names." They talked for about ten more minutes and then Parker had to go because Lily wanted to video chat with him.
Alyvia stood up from her dad's bed and walked over to her mom's. She sat down in the chair and held her hand again.
"I'm so sorry mom. I didn't mean what I said. Molly misses you so much. She misses all of us. Please wake up."
She went to lay her head down on the bed when she felt a slight pressure on her fingers. She watched the fingers intertwined with her's and just about cried when they lightly squeezed her hand again.
"Mom. Hang on. I'll get a nurse." She looked around her mom's bed for her remote and when she couldn't find it, pressed her dad's.
"She's awake!" She called into it. She quickly sat back in her chair and held her mom's hand.
A nurse came in a pulled the tube out. Alyvia sat silently in the chair next to her mom's bed until she saw a pair of blue eyes looking at her.
She just stared at Alyvia, her eyes becoming more and more confused.
"Mom?" She asked.
"Mom?" Brennan asked her. "I'm sorry you must be mistaken, I'm nobody's mother." Alyvia bit back the tears.
"I'm sorry, you're right. I confused this room with my mother's. But let me introduce myself. I'm Alyvia, I'm a candy striper, here at the hospital."
"Hello." Alyvia told Brennan little, simple things about her such as her age, her birthday, and a majority of her family.
"I have an older half-brother. I also have a little sister."
"What about your father?"
"He's in the hospital as well. He's in recovery. Just got out of surgery."
"Oh. Well I am very tired so I would like to sleep. Thank you for speaking with me Alyvia. I hope to see you soon."
"Yep." Alyvia stood up and walked to the nurse's station.
"Can you call Doctor Hess? I would like to speak with her." One of the younger nurses named Katie looked up and smiled at her.
"Of course Alyvia. Do you want her to go to your parents' room or do you want to meet her in the hall?"
"Hall please." Alyvia stood outside of her parents room until a women with long black hair stopped in front of her.
"So what's wrong Miss Booth?" Alyvia looked at the doctor and then looked to the floor.
"She doesn't re..." She trailed off.
"She doesn't what?" Doctor Hess asked. Alyvia looked up.
"She doesn't remember me. She woke up, looked right at me, and asked who I was."
"That must be one of the side effects due to the swelling in her brain she had when she first came in and from the lack of oxygen when she went into cardiac arrest." She told her. Alyvia looked down at the floor again.
"Is it possible for us to move my dad to a different room? He's asleep, or at least he was asleep, so that way he won't keep asking my mom about at least the past fifteen years."
"I believe that's a good idea. With your mother's first and second degree burns, we don't need her to be dealing with the stress of your father pestering her about her memory.
"Last night when I went to go check on your father he kept on asking me about her. He's very protective of her."
"He's like that with all of us. But he promised mom that he would always take care of her and protect her." Doctor Hess smiled at her.
"I will try and find an available room as soon as possible. I would suggest picking up all of his things and then I'll send in a couple people to move him.
"I would also suggest to you that you call your brother and tell him of the room arrangements once your father is moved." Alyvia looked at her.
"Thanks Doctor Hess."
"No problem Miss Booth." She started to wake away.
"Doctor Hess." She turned around.
"Can you please call me Alyvia. Only my teacher's call me Miss Booth and they only do that when I'm talking while they are."
"Okay Alyvia." Doctor Hess walked away and Alyvia walked into the room.
She took a look at her mom, who was still sleeping, her face looking troubled. Then she looked at her dad and found him sleeping as well. She pressed the button that controlled his pain medicine one more time for good measure.
As soon as everything of her father's had been picked up, two nurses came into the room and took the brakes off her dad's bed.
Katie, the nurse that had called Doctor Hess, looked at her.
"We're moving your dad to room 263, it's still in the ICU, but if your dad tries to make a run for it, we'll be able to stop him before he gets back here." Alyvia smiled.
"Thanks Katie." She smiled at her and then her and the other nurse started pushing her dad.
As she was following behind, her dad started to wake up.
"Sweet Pea?" Alyvia sped up so her dad could see her.
"Yeah dad?"
"Why am I moving?" Alyvia turned towards Katie, who looked down at Booth.
"We had to separate you and Dr. Brennan because we're going to see if she'll wake up if we change her surroundings." Alyvia looked to her dad who's lips began to turn into a frown.
"It shouldn't be that long dad. Maybe they'll figure out what's wrong with mom without you pestering them." Booth looked at Alyvia.
"Oh okay Sweet Pea." They then reach Booth's new room and they began to set things back up.
"I'm gonna go call Parks while they finish setting you up okay?"
"Okay." Alyvia walked to the waiting room that was right down the hall and pulled out her phone.
"Hello?"
"Parks? We have a major problem."
A/N: Okay if anyone watches NCIS, have you ever noticed, that the guy who plays Broadsky plays a dude from Israel in season 8. I was watching it the other day and was like "Whoa! There's Broadsky!"
