Chapter 9

Parker

POV Booth

"Alright Shrimp you have one more door to go through until you are allowed to…"

"POPS SHHH!"

I can hear something again. I have my hands over my ears as I crumple to my knees on the ground trying to hear.

"…Yeah…Booth…Need…Miss…Please…Booth…I…You…"

I can't hear it all.

"Bones, please say it again!"

"She can't hear you Seeley."

"I need to go back Pops now. She needs me."

Something has fallen onto my face. Within seconds it is gone.

"Pops does it rain in heaven?"

"No"

"Then what the hell was that?"

"Let's move on Seeley."

I'm blocking his path now.

"You know what it was. Tell me."

"Fine. She is crying and a tear had fallen onto your face. Can't you tell that she is in pain without you awake? Every time you stop moving you are causing her more pain because the days are flying by down on earth."

Pops is mad at me. He doesn't like to see Bones in pain either and I'm breaking down inside because it is me who is hurting her. I can't this anymore. I'm sprinting to the next door with Pops right behind me. Reaching for handle I fly through the door without looking at the name on the door. The wind is violent, but it is bearable. I'm now standing in a kitchen. It is familiar to me, but I just can't remember whose house it is. I turn to my left because I hear the sound of running footsteps. Flying in front of me is a young curly blonde haired boy.

"Parker."

It has now clicked I'm in Rebecca's kitchen. Parker is over by the kitchen counter trying to pull himself up to get on top of it. He is struggling and I hate to see him like this. He is getting frustrated and I know soon he will give up. Walking towards him I stop at his back. He pushes himself up again (well trying). I have my hands on his hips and give him a little boost up. Turning around on the counter Parker is smiling a smile bigger than I have ever seen before. Rebecca had come to stand at the kitchen entrance. Watching as Parker looked at the calendar.

"Let's see this weekend I have a soccer game and I'm supposed to go to dads." Parker said out loud to himself.

My heart has shattered into pieces because as he turns around his eyes are full of tears that are soon running down his face. Looking down he jumps off the counter.

"Parker, I know you want your dad to be at your game, but…"

Parker has taken off on a mad dash to his room, knocking Rebecca out of the way in the process.

"Parker, sweetie, come back."

Rebecca was walking over to Parker's room. Trying the handle she found it to be locked.

"Parker, please come out. How about we go out to dinner tonight?"

We are all standing around waiting for a reply which we actually ended up getting.

"NO! You're not Dad! All I want is Dad."

My head fell against the wall. Shutting my eyes I can hear the soft cries coming from my son's room and the click of the lock on Rebecca's bedroom door. She has now locked herself in her room too. Pops snaps his fingers. All the clocks are changing from 6pm to 8:30pm. Parker's door is creaking as he sticks his head out to see if the coast is clear. Running out I start to follow him, but Pops pulls me into Parker's room. Waiting I hear Parker running again turning around the corner to come back into the room. He is closing the door again and locks it.

I can see that he has the phone in his hands. My eyes are watching his every move. From his bed he went to his dresser and grabbed a picture frame that was resting on top. Carefully he was removing the back and took out the picture. Flipping it over he grabbed the phone and was now dialing a number. I'm so confused right now. I have no idea who he could be calling from the back of a picture. He starts to talk. I'm frozen as I find out who he is talking to.

"Dr. Bones? It's me Parker Booth."

Pops cut in "Hey lets go you don't want to hear this it will only bring you greater pain."

"No Pops I want to stay. Please let me listen." Tears are building up in my eyes. Pops walked out of the room so I turned back to my son.

"Brennan."

"Dr. Bones? This is Parker Booth."

"Parker is everything okay? Are you okay?"

His voice is trembling now.

"Dr. Bones do you miss my daddy?"

"Yes, Parker I miss your father very much. Parker is there a reason you called me or did you just want to talk?"

"I was supposed to go to my dad's this weekend. He promised me he wouldn't miss my first soccer game."

He is crying now right along with me. I can tell the Bones is on the verge of tears.

"You know that your father is in heaven Parker. He told me once that when you are up there you can watch over the people you love. Your father loves you very much, so in a way he will be there. He would never break a promise to you."

I can't believe that all those times I talked to Bones about my religion she was actually listening. I thought she was always pretending to listen to me. Bones amazes me more and more every day. I have never been more in love with her than I am right now.

"I guess you're right. Dr. Bones will you come to my soccer game?"

There is a pause. Bones is crying now. I can tell by the way she is breathing into the phone.

"Of course Parker I would love to come."

"Thank you Dr. Bones. I bet that will make my daddy happy because he will get to see you too."

"You're welcome. Yes, I hope me being there will make him happy. Now go to sleep it's late okay?"

"Okay I will."

"Good night Parker."

"Good night."

With that Parker hung up the phone. After putting the phone down he changed into his skull and cross bones P.J's. Next he is off towards Rebecca's room. Entering her room he crawled into her bed snuggling up to her side. She has her arms wrapped around him and kisses his head. Rolling over he begins to talk.

"Mom, I called Dr. Bones. I asked her to come to my soccer game tomorrow. She said she would be there."

The famous Booth charm smile was spread across his face.

Smiling back Rebecca replied "Good, I'm glad she is going to be there. Now all you have to do is score a goal for her and your father."

Parker smiled at that then closed his eyes falling asleep. The wind is now blowing again. Not standing on my feet anymore I know I'm heading back to the white room that is keeping me from my future.

POV Brennan

2:30a.m and I'm still sitting here in Booth's room. I told Angela that I would go home and get some sleep because I am now almost 6 months pregnant. The twins keep moving around and kicking making it hard for me to sleep anyways. Angela told me I was not allowed to spend any nights at the hospital anymore. I can't leave his side. I need to be here when he wakes up. I'm standing by his bed now. His hand lay at his side. Picking it up I place it onto my ever expanding stomach as the babies kick. Even if he isn't awake I still want him to feel as though he is here every step of the way. Maybe I'm doing it to reassure myself that everything is going to work out. I'm now very tired and it's getting worse faster and faster. Booth's bed is big and he is not centered so I climb on and lay right next to him. Keeping his hand still on my stomach I'm looking down. I cover his hand with mine. I'm closing my eyes and am letting sleep surround me.

Booth Had A Hard Time Dealing With Parker's Door How Will He Handle Going Into The Next Room? There Is Only One More Person Left Who Could It Possibly Be? I Don't Know If I Really Like How The "Tear" That Fell On Booth's Cheek Turned Out But It Sounded Good When I First Wrote It. Who Doesn't Love A Little Parker and Bones Scene? I Think That They Could Get Along So Well If B&B Would Ever Get Together So I Totally Had To Add The Phone Conversation In. I Hope You Liked It. The Next Chapter Will Be Up Soon. :-D BandB-Breakingthelawsofphysics
