Two weeks passed with Brennan submerged in her work. The students had warmed up to her and were following her pace. She was confident she could get her students caught up before she handed the reins back to Ms. Saroyan. The kids had fallen behind with their curriculum in the months of alternating subs before Brennan took over the class.

In the last week or so Brennan noted the fall in Parker's grades. He was a smart boy and she knew the problem wasn't that he couldn't keep up or that he didn't understand the material because his in-class work was perfect; it was his take-home assignments he wasn't finishing up. Brennan decided to arrange a meeting with the boy's father.

Booth was able to drown himself in his work for the past two weeks. This helped him to keep the horrible fear of Rebecca showing up to take Parker away from him. There was going to be a big fashion show in two more weeks and all the preparations had to be set out. He walked into his office early after dropping Parker off at school and he had just sat on his desk chair when his cell phone rang.

"Booth." He answered.

"This is Ms. Brennan, Parker's teacher." Brennan explained she needed to meet with him and discuss a few things regarding Parker's assignment completion. Booth told her he'd only be free for lunch and she said that was fine with her and agreed to meet in her classroom.

Booth met with Brennan for their parent-teacher conference as the students had their lunch break. Brennan explained the situation and told him that she was sure it wasn't that Parker didn't understand the material. Booth told her he had been real drowned in work with a fashion show his company was going to throw and hadn't noticed his son was not doing his homework. Brennan knew about the show. She's seen how crazy busy Angela's been to put the show together.

Booth compromised to look into it and make sure Parker was following up on his take-home assignments. Brennan explained that she had set up half hour after school sessions to help the students with their homework. Booth took her up on the offer and signed Parker up for the sessions. He thanked her and told her not to hesitate to call him if Parker missed any more assignments.

The next two weeks flew by with an improvement from Parker. Brennan was impressed at the dedication Booth had set to make sure his boy followed up with his work. Everyday when Booth picked up his son he asked Brennan if Parker had handed in all his assignments. Brennan could tell Booth really loved his son; he was a good father.

"Come on, Bren. Please?" Angela begged her friend to attend the fashion show. "This is a big night for me, Bren. Plus, it's Saturday. There's no school tomorrow." Angela grinned, knowing she had pushed the right buttons.

"Alright, but what will I wear?" Brennan suddenly realized she had nothing to wear to the event.

"I've got it covered." Angela smiled wide and Brennan wondered what kind of ensemble Angela had in mind for her.

===========
Brennan took a seat in the front row to watch the show. She sipped some champagne and waited for the night to start. She stared at her dark purple dress and thought it was pretty kick ass, yet again all of Angela's creations were kick ass.

Jack Hodgins, largest share holder of the Cantilever Group, was rich to the power of infinity, or somewhere close according to Booth. Booth and Hodgins have been friends since they were kids and keep in touch a lot. Hodgins was more into bugs and slime and did research at a lab; the only one that knew was Booth. Hodgins recently returned to managing his share at the company after figuring out that the person he appointed had been ripping him off.

"So, what's up with Rebecca and her sudden urge to be a mother?" Hodgins asked, knowing the tough spot his friend was in. Booth growled and said that she was just messing with him. Rebecca was just threatening to show up, but after a month of calls Booth doubted she'd actually show up.

The show was about to begin and the two took their seat. Booths eyes caught on the woman seated across from him on the other side of the runway. He watched Brennan as her gaze followed the models as they walked, showing off a dress or ensemble. Brennan could see from the corner of her eye that Booth was staring at her, but she pretended not to notice.

When the show was over Angela walked down the isle and everyone gave her a standing ovation.

Brennan sighed, it was past midnight and the stupid after party seemed like it would never end. She wished she'd driven her car and not carpooled with Angela. Brennan saw that her friend was getting lots of attention and congratulations for her successful show and didn't want to ruin the night by stating she was ready to leave. Angela had waved Brennan over countless times but Brennan shook her head; she wasn't big on starting conversation with strangers.

"Having fun, Ms. Brennan?" Booth asked with a wide charm smile on his face. He told her that if he'd known she was attending the show, he'd have got her the tickets. Brennan told him she was here because she was friends with Angela and they conversed on how Brennan and Angela met.

"If you want to go home, I'll give you a ride." Booth offered, noting that the teacher was more than ready to leave. Brennan arched an eyebrow and he laughed throatily. "What am I going to do to you?" He said in between laughs. "I promise your honor will be respected." Booth said with a grin. "Plus, my kid's in your class. It's not like you don't know who I am."

Brennan buckled her seat belt as Booth jogged to the other side of the SUV.

Booth drove to the apartment building Brennan and Angela lived in and they rode the elevator to her floor.

"This isn't necessary." Brennan told Booth that he didn't have to walk her to her door. She was more than capable of taking care of herself. Booth told her he was going to walk her regardless of her protests. Mostly because he was curious to know what apartment number was hers.

They steeped out of the elevator, with his hand on the small of her back as they walked to her apartment. He didn't know what possessed him to place his hand there, but it felt right. Brennan enjoyed the touch, and didn't say anything about it; it felt right.

As they approached the apartment, they saw a man leaning against the door. Sully looked up when he heard footsteps approaching. Anger surged through him as he saw his wife walking with a man and the man was touching her!

"What's this?" Sully asked in a loud and harsh tone. Brennan was searching for her keys when she felt Sully grab her wrist and pull her to him. "Is he the reason you don't want to come home?" He gritted his teeth, yanking her towards him. Brennan freed her hand, elbowing Sully to back off and telling him to leave. He cursed and lunged forward. Booth stepped in the middle and pushed the man back.

"Mind your own business." Sully growled, but Booth held his ground.

"She wants you to leave." Booth's voice was loud and vibrating with rage. No one was going to hurt a woman in his presence. The two men locked eyes briefly.

"This isn't over. You haven't seen the last of me." Sully told Brennan as he walked towards the elevators. Booth watched as the man got in the elevator and the doors closed.

Booth turned to Brennan asking, "Are you okay?"
