Hey thanks for reviewing, alerting and reading. I'm sorry if there was confusion with the last chap. Here goes a clarification to help thoes that are confused. Perotta feels that by moving in under the same roof as Booth she'll have a better chance of keeping any woman away from him. That's why she 'fired' Daisy, although she( Perotta) feels she has authority, she doesn't. Daisy didn't want to stay because Perotta's got it against her. Hope this helps, if you're still confused let me know.

Cullen had just entered and was about to greet his nephew but reconsidered as Booth stormed down the stairs. Cullen knew that was pissed off Booth and it was better to let him be for the time being. Cullen didn't know who Booth was angry at but he didn't want to be that someone.
Booth ran into Parker before he reached the door that led outside. The boy was carrying his soccer ball under his arm. Booth ran a soothing caress over the arm Perotta had grabbed the boy by. Parker stared at his father not knowing how his dad always knew when something was wrong.
"How about we go to the park to practice?" Booth felt his anger ease when his son's face lit up.
"Can I call my friend Eddie and see of he can go with us too?" Parker had the 'please' look on his face and Booth nodded. The boy ran to the phone to call his friend as Booth walked the rest of the distance to reach the outside. Perotta was about to enter when he stepped outside, blocking the door.
"You have no right to treat Parker like that. When you 'fired' Daisy I didn't tell you anything because I thought we should all get along if we're sharing the same roof and because Daisy didn't want to stay." Booth was speaking through clenched teeth to keep from raising his voice and have Parker hear. "You wanna go around pretending that your orders matter, fine." He was red from his efforts to not raise his voice. "But stay away from my son." He was about to turn and head back inside when she spoke.
"I was just trying to help you with Parker because he doesn't have a mother. He runs around doing what he wants…" Booth's anger rose again. Parker didn't need a mother like Perotta. And where was the harm in the boy kicking his soccer ball around?
"He has his father." Booth growled and before he headed inside, he added, "And get it out of your head that there could be something between us because it's never gonna happen. And with what you did to my son, not even if you were the last woman on earth." Booth turned and slammed the door behind him. He didn't care if he had sounded like a jerk because that woman had hurt his boy.
B&B
Brennan opened her front door and Booth gave her a quick kiss as he stepped inside. He walked to the dinning table next to the kitchen and started pacing as he filled Brennan in on what had just happened. Brennan told him to sit down and once he did, she stood behind him. Her hands worked to ease the tension in his shoulders and he allowed his head to drop back.
"Breathe." Brennan told him as she massaged his temples. "Where's Parker now?" She asked.
"At his friend's." Booth dropped Parker off at the boy's friend's house. Eddie's mom took the two boys to the park and while she was there she'd walk the dog. Booth would pick his boy up in an hour.
"Parker can stay here with me." Booth turned his head to look at her. "Once this event is over you'll be less stressed out and you'll be able to think with more clarity what you want to do next." She kissed his neck. "I'll take him to his soccer game tomorrow. Don't worry. We'll find fun things to do." Booth took her hand and kissed it. She walked around to stand in front of him and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and thanked her. Brennan's fingers ran soothingly on his nape as he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Whoa! I don't need a live show." Angela joked as she passed them by. Brennan felt Booth smile and relax completely. Angela's comment felt ironic since they weren't doing what the comment suggested. Angela was on her way back to her room and saw when Brennan jumped, still on Booth's lap. "Down boy." Angela grinned and kept walking.
Booth turned a shade of red and took his cell phone out of his jeans pocket. "It's my cell phone." He waved the still vibrating cell in the air.
"Sure." Angela said with a laugh, not turning around. Brennan kissed Booth and rose from his lap so he could take his call and she followed Angela to inform her of Parker's stay and make sure it was okay with her.
B&B
Booth had to leave for the event early. There was some sort of emergency and he had to leave earlier than scheduled. Brennan was trying to sleep, but couldn't. She was on the living room's carpeted floor, resting on top of blankets. She'd given her bed to Parker. A shadow in the hall that led to the rooms caught Brennan's attention. She had left her bedroom door open and put a night light out in the hall for Parker.
"What's wrong, Parker?" Brennan asked when she saw the boy approaching.
"Can I sleep with you?" He asked hopefully.
"Yeah." Brennan pulled back her blanket and the boy placed his pillow next to hers and settled in. He said good night one more time and Brennan ran her hand in his hair, massaging his scalp and helping him get to sleep.
Angela was getting ready to leave. It was five the morning and she had to leave to get there early. She could have left with Booth the afternoon before, but she hadn't. She saw that Brennan was asleep with the boy on the floor. She didn't want to wake up her friend, but she wanted to tell Brennan she was leaving. Brennan turned her head, feeling the movement in the living room and saw Angela.
"You're leaving?" Brennan asked and Angela nodded. "Good luck and be safe on the road." Brennan rose from the floor and walked her friend to the door. They hugged and kissed. Brennan locked the door after her friend was out and went back to sleep.
B&B
"Can I have cereal for breakfast?" Parker asked and Brennan nodded. "There's no milk." The boy said, looking inside the refrigerator.
"Oh, oh. It was my turn to go grocery shopping. I forgot." Parker giggled at the face Brennan made. "How about we grab something fast to eat and after your game we'll go grocery shopping?" Brennan asked and Parker nodded enthusiastically and hurried to change.
B&B
Brennan sat on the bleachers watching Parker's team play. The game was about to end and Parker had the ball. Brennan stood and cheered him on. The other mothers stared at her. All their boys had played in the same team every summer for the last three years and they'd always seen Parker's dad. At first they thought Brennan was just Booth's girlfriend, but now looking more closely the other mothers thought Brennan was Parker's mother. At the end of the game Parker ran to hug Brennan. His team had won by a goal and they were doing a small picnic to celebrate. When the other mothers saw the exchange between Brennan and Parker they had no doubt Brennan was the mother.
B&B
"These or these?" Brennan and Parker were at the closest grocery store to the apartment building and Parker was helping her with the grocery list. The boy held up a pack of Oreos and a pack of plain animal cookies.
"Which ones do you like?" Brennan asked. The boy raised the Oreos higher and Brennan smiled. "We'll take them both." Brennan prefers the plain animal cookies, but if Parker likes the Oreos, then they'll take the Oreos too.
"What's next on the list?" The boy looked at the list and did and exaggerated head slap. "Uff…I just passed the juices." He said with a laugh and headed to get the juice on the list.
"Your boy's adorable." A woman told Brennan as she passed her by. Parker still had his team uniform on and had only changed his socks and shoes and Brennan was wearing a Jersey of the boy's team. That along with the interaction brought the other woman to the conclusion that Brennan was the boy's mother. Brennan smiled at the woman's comment and continued with her list.
Brennan and Parker finished loading up the groceries in the trunk of her car and Brennan caught the boy looking at the posters on the windows of the video store next to the grocery store. "Do you want to rent a few movies?" Brennan asked and Parker nodded with a huge smile plastered on his face.
B&B
Brennan and Parker grabbed some couch pillows and settled on the floor to watch the first movie they rented. After their second movie their stomachs growled with hunger. Brennan made them a quick meal and they played some old board games after.
It was still early and Parker had brought his Wii console for the weekend. He asked Brennan if she wanted to do a fitness test and she looked at him confused. The boy made her a 'customized' player and instructed her to do her fitness test.
"What?" Brennan shrieked when she saw her fitness age was 74. "That's not fair. I demand a do over." She said with a fake pout. "I didn't know how to properly control this remote." Parker shook his head that she couldn't do it again and took the control from her hands, signaling it was his turn.
B&B
"I'm going to leave the door open in case you need anything." Brennan was going to sleep on Angela's bed and Parker was sleeping on Brennan's. She tucked the boy in and headed to bed.
Brennan woke up in the middle of the night and found she was on the edge of the bed. She felt pain in her lower back and tried to scoot back and found that she couldn't. She turned her head and saw that Parker was on the bed with her. She hadn't felt when he climbed in bed with her. His knee was on her back and it was killing her. She carefully moved his knee and the boy turned on his other side, away from her. Brennan sat on the bed and untangled the sheets from the sleeping boy. Once the sheets were disentangled, she tried to go back to sleep.
The next morning Brennan woke up with a sore back. Parker had kept kicking her during the night. 'Guess he's still excited for winning the soccer game.' Brennan thought as she made them both breakfast.
B&B
"Mmmm…it smells delicious, sweetie." Angela and Booth returned in time for lunch. "What's the occasion?" Angela asked once she saw Brennan had made her homemade Mac and Cheese.
"I helped." Parker said proudly as he helped Brennan finish up setting the table. Booth hugged his son before heading off to wash his hands to eat.
"What did you two do yesterday?" Angela asked as she placed some salad on her plate next to her Mac and Cheese. Angela and Booth had already shared how it went for them at the event. Parker told them what they did the previous day, exactly as it happened. "Do you have to return the movies today?" Angela asked, hoping she'd be able to see at least one of the movies before they had to return them.
"No. The Saturday special is a two day rental." Brennan answered and Angela and Parker did a high five. Booth loved the setting and felt at ease knowing his son got to be around two great women. Booth touched Brennan's thigh under the table and sent her a look that said 'thank you' and 'I love you' at the same time.
Angela and Parker set up one of the movies Brennan and Parker hadn't seen the previous day as Booth and Brennan took care of the dirty dishes.
Booth sat on the couch and Brennan took a couch pillow and placed it on his lap. She rested her head on the pillow and watched the movie. Booth ran his hand in her hair for a few minutes until he rested it on her hip. Angela and Parker where on the floor with couch pillows.
After watching the two remaining movies, Angela went to bed. Parker changed into his PJs and went to Brennan's bed. Brennan grabbed some blankets and took them to the living room. She turned the TV off and fixed the sheets on the floor. She was already dressed in her sleepwear and when she noticed Booth was awake, she asked him if he was staying the night.
"Are you inviting me to stay?" He teased, kicking off his shoes and sitting on the blankets.
"If you want to. You can sleep on the couch. Between the couch and the floor I don't know what will be worse for your back…Or you can sleep with Parker on my bed."
"My back's fine. It was only that one time and that was because of the bumpy rollercoaster." He leaned and kissed her softly on the lips.
B&B
Booth woke up early the next morning and felt like having donuts with his morning coffee. He shifted away from the sleeping Brennan, careful not to wake her as he disentangled their bodies. He grabbed his shoes and jacket, making sure he had his wallet with him and exited the apartment.
Just as Booth exited the apartment he saw a man, who he assumed to be the super or manager or whatever of the building, exit the apartment across the hall from Brennan's and the inside looked empty.
"Excuse me." The man turned and looked at Booth.
B&B
Daisy woke up and sat on her couch, drinking coffee and ready to search the newspaper for any open jobs. She was about to open the newspaper when her phone rang. It was Booth.
"I'm going to need your help." Daisy was confused as to why Booth had called her asking for help. "I'm going to need everything from a toothbrush to a bed."
"I'm listening." Daisy said, curious to know what Booth was up to and why he needed her help and such a wide variety of things.
I know we had no Sully or Rebecca in this chap, but they'll be back.
