Thanks for the reviews:D Kudos to those of you who guessed what Booth was going to do:D if you didn't, you'll know in this chap:D (Yay, more updates now that I can use my computer:)

Brennan was in the kitchen when she heard the front door open. Since Angela had already left, she thought it was Parker and she left the kitchen to ask where he was going. She was surprised to find Booth entering the apartment. Angela must have left the front door unlocked.

"I thought you had already left for work." She said as he approached her, kissed her once he stood in front of her.

"I went for some donuts." He had a huge smile on his face. He wasn't going to tell her yet; he was going to surprise her. He had his clothes in a bag and asked if he could shower.

"Sure. Do you want coffee?" He nodded as he quickly headed to take a fast shower.

When Booth exited the shower and dressed he found Brennan and Parker seated on the table. The child was having cereal and Brennan was sipping coffee. He kissed the top of his son's head and sat next to him after he poured a cup of coffee for himself.

"Parker, do you want to go to work with me?" Booth asked and the boy said he'd rather stay with Brennan.

"He can stay with me." Brennan told Booth. Booth wanted to talk to his son about the surprise, but the boy didn't want to go. He was going to have to wait until later to fill his son in on the details.

"Okay." Booth said as he took a bite of a sprinkled donut.

B&B

"I missed that much for not going to the event?" Hodgins stated it more than asked. He missed the event and Booth hadn't had time to fill him in on what had happened with Perotta. "You and Parker can stay in my apartment. I never use it, but it's very clean. It's here in DC. That'll help keep the same routine." Hodgins offered, knowing it was better Booth and Parker had their privacy.

"I'm going to take you up on your offer. It'll be for about two weeks." Booth grinned wide.

"Why? You have a place already?" Hodgins asked, knowing Booth had never acquired a second residence.

"Just made the deal this morning. It was really easy. The apartment was ready to rent and move in and the paperwork was a piece of cake." Booth smiled.

"Where's this place at? I have to go visit you once you're installed. Since I've known you you've always lived with your uncle." Booth told Hodgins that he was going to be living in the apartment across the hall from Brennan and Angela's and that he was having Daisy help him out with getting the place ready. "Why isn't your girlfriend helping you?" Hodgins asked, not understanding why Booth wouldn't ask his girlfriend for help.

"I haven't told her yet." Hodgins' brow furrowed in confusion. "It's a surprise. I'm going to show her the place once it's ready." Hodgins made an 'oh' face, now understanding what his friend was up to.

"You know what I never understood?" Booth stared at him. "When you had girlfriends in the past…how did you…you know…when you guys wanted to…" Hodgins was stammering, trying to get Booth to understand what he was asking. "Where did you take them for sex?" Hodgins blurted out when Booth pretended not to know what he meant. Booth shook his head and didn't say a thing. Truth was, he hadn't had many relationships over the years. Cullen entered the office and Hodgins knew Booth was definitely not going to answer him now, not that it was important, it's just that Hodgins was curious. "I have some bugs and slime waiting for me at the lab." He told both Booth and Cullen as he exited Booth's office and headed to the lab he used to forget about his gazillions.

"I heard what happened with Perotta. I called Daisy, but she didn't want to return. I also heard what she did to Parker." Cullen watched as Booth clenched his teeth. "I don't know why she'd do something like that. She seems like a nice girl, but if her stay is going to keep you and Parker from being at the house, then I'll ask her to leave." Booth told him that wasn't necessary. It was time he moved out and Cullen understood.

B&B

Later that afternoon

Booth went to Brennan's apartment. She was alone because Parker and Angela went to return the movie rentals. Booth told her that he was going to be staying at an apartment Hodgins had until he found a place. Booth tried to keep the smile from his face.

"We're not kicking you guys out." Brennan said with a smile.

"I know, but I don't think sleeping on the floor is good for you." He said as he wrapped his arms around her, resting his forehead against hers.

"Parker kicks in his sleep." Brennan stated.

"Yes, he does." They both shared a smile. "I have a place on my list, but I need to work out the details." They heard the front door open. The apartment filled with Parker's giggles at something Angela said.

B&B

"Cool!" Was Parker's answer when Booth told him they were going to be living in the apartment just across the hall from Brennan and Angela's. "And I can help when we look at the stuff we need to buy." Parker was more than happy with what Booth had in mind.

In just two weeks Booth had the apartment ready and had been successful at not spoiling the surprise for Brennan. Daisy had been of great help when he had to go in search of everything he needed for the apartment. He hired Daisy to do cleaning a few times a week and to watch Parker when he had to go out of town. Daisy was happy with her new job. The apartment would be a piece of cake to clean in comparison to the mansion.

B&B

"Hey, sweetie, guess what?" Angela entered the apartment in search of her friend. It was a Saturday morning and Angela had taken a trip to the laundry room on the first floor and had heard something interesting.

"What?" Brennan stood in the kitchen reading the morning paper.

"The FBI lady just told me…"

"The FBI lady?" Brennan asked confused.

"Yeah, she lives on the apartment down the hall." Angela went about to describe the woman.

"Oh, yeah. What about her?"

"You know how she knows the life of half of the people on this building, right? So, I was putting my clothes in the dryer when she came in to throw in a load of whites and she told me that the apartment across the hall from us has just been rented."

"It was vacant?" Brennan asked and Angela shrugged.

"She says it's a dad and his son." Brennan stared at her in question.

"And this is important because?" Brennan waited to hear the point of the conversation.

"I wonder if he's hot." Angela said with a grin. Brennan rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile. Angela nodded her head as she imagined having a hunk of a guy as a neighbor.

Angela was on her way to the bathroom. It was the reason she'd come up from the laundry room in the first place, but she couldn't resist filling her friend in on what she had just learned. There was a knock on the front door and Angela went to open the door.

" 'Morning." Booth stood in his Pjs with a cup in his hand. "I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to give me a cup of sugar, neighbor." Angela took in Booth's clothes and the open door to the apartment across the hall, catching sight of a boy with blond curls.

"Ooohhh, I get it." Angela grinned and took the cup from his hand. She walked to the kitchen and gave Brennan the cup, "The new neighbor wants a cup of sugar." Angela left the kitchen and Brennan filled the cup with sugar.

"Here you go." She handed the cup of sugar to the new neighbor, but it took her a few seconds to bring her gaze up from his hand to his face. "Booth!" She slapped him on the arm playfully thinking it was a joke, but soon she processed it all in. "You're the new neighbor?" He nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to surprise you." He took her hand and led her towards his apartment.

"Hi!" Parker ran to hug her. Booth and Parker gave her a quick tour of their new place.

"Our balcony looks out at the parking lot." Brennan said with a laugh as she saw his had the view of the main street.

"You know you're welcomed to come over whenever you like." He wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her neck. "Breakfast's ready. You can call Angela over and we'll eat." Brennan nodded and turned around in his arms, giving him a long loving kiss.

They were just finishing breakfast when Angela's cell phone rang. When she said it was Hodgins and that they were going out for a walk Parker asked, "Are you Uncle Jack's girlfriend?" Parker had always considered Hodgins as his uncle, so in his eyes that would make Angela his aunt. Brennan tapped Booth's knee so he could see the look on Angela's face.

"I…uh…we…He's going to be here in a few minutes and I have to go change. Thanks for breakfast. It was really good." She made a quick exit.

"Why is it hard for adults to just answer 'yes'?" Parker shook his head and took his plate to the sink. Booth and Brennan stared at each other trying to contain their surfacing laughter.

B&B

Rebecca closed her cell phone after hearing that her time was running out. She knew that once he came to DC, it would all be over. She needed to get a move on and be on good terms with Booth. She decided Sully could be of help.

"Get over here!" She said before he even greeted her.

"I can't. I'm busy with a cli…"

"Now!" She hung up and paced around. She needed to have Booth by her side. He was her only way out.

Yay, B&B are neighbors now and that'll make it easy for a late night escapeXD maybe…

Who is Rebecca afraid of and why does she need Booth? Review and let me know if you have any guesses:D I'd love to hear what you guys think. You'll know more in the next chap:D
