Chapter Fourteen: Day Out

"Daddy!" Parker called to his father, who was carrying both Angelina and Luna on his hips, walking next to Bones, who had their boys in the stroller, along with a picnic basket, a blanket, and sunscreen in the lower compartment. "Come on, guys!" Parker shouted, running through the park with a bag of toys.

Booth and Brennan had decided to take the kids out to the park while they had Parker with them. The quadruplets were now 8 months old and were able to crawl, which they did pretty often, so Bones thought it would be beneficial to expose them to some fresh air and some sun.

Booth picked a spot underneath a large oak tree and called Bones over. "Hey, Bones! Over here. This is a nice spot, huh?"

Bones smiled and spread a blanket in the shade underneath the shade, before taking the boys out of the stroller and sitting them up on the blanket, with pillows.

They were wearing similar shirts and pants, but in different colors so they could be told apart. Joey wore a green shirt with blue pants while Ty wore a red shirt with brown pants. Booth set Angie and Luna next to the boys. Angelina had on a pink sundress, while Luna wore a pale yellow one.

Both girls instantly began talking to each other in baby talk, while the boys started to hit each other.

Bones separated them a little, but that didn't stop them from getting at each other. It wasn't long before they were rolling around on each other, the girls giggling at them.

Booth shook his head and picked up Joey, who was laying on top of Ty, pulling at his dark brown hair, while Ty pulled on his shirt.

Booth placed Joey in the stroller, while Joey shouted and cried. When he had Joey settled, he kneeled next to the stroller and gave Joey a stern glance. "No hitting!" he said, then stood up, Joey pouting and holding his arms out toward him. But Booth ignored him and stood up, walking over to Ty and picking him, handing him to Bones, who proceeded to fix his unusually long brown hair.

"He has such a mop!" she fussed, trying to smooth down his hair. "Did you have this much hair when you were this young?"

"Yep. So did Jared and Parker. I guess it just runs in the family." Booth chuckled, before turning to his oldest son, who was impatiently tugging at his shirt and holding his football out to him.

"Come on, Daddy! Football!" Parker all but whined.

Booth grinned and took the ball, lifting it to his ear. "Okay, Buddy, go long!"

Parker ran out towards the field, turning around the catch the football his father gently threw his way. He almost caught it before it fell to the ground in front of him. "Good try, Buddy!" Booth encouraged. "Now throw it back the way I taught you!"

Parker nodded and threw the football back towards his father, who ran forward to catch it, before running past Parker, who was grabbing at the ball while chasing him, and falling, yelling out, "Touchdown!"

"No fair!" Parker giggled, landing on top of his father. "You're bigger and faster than I am!"

Booth sat up, and pulled Parker into his lap. "It's okay, Parks. You'll grow, and maybe next time you'll get a touchdown against me. You knocked me down well enough."

Parker smiled, showing off a gap where one of his teeth used to be. "You really think so?" Booth nodded, and handed back the football.

"Why don't you try now?" He asked.

Parker smiled widely and nodded, scrambling out of his father's lap, and scurrying in the direction of the picnic blanket, while Booth tried to regain his footing. "Talk about no fair!" Booth called, "I wasn't ready!" He ran after Parker, who'd already made it past the 'Touchdown Zone' (the picnic blanket) and was now doing a little dance.

Booth chuckled at his son and picked him up, throwing his softly over his head, before catching him. "You little cheater!" He laughed, tickling the little boy, who was screaming for mercy.

Bones watched this whole thing with such amusement that she didn't notice Angelina trying to get her attention by pulling on her blouse and whimpering.

Finally, after being ignored for many moments, Angelina yelled, "Mama!" and Bones's head immediately snapped towards her, her eyes open wide in shock.

Bones turned to Booth. "D-did you hear that?" she asked. "Booth?" Booth turned to her, from his place on the ground, where Parker was trying to get him in a choke hold, his arms far too small and weak to really hurt him.

"Hear what, Bones?" he asked.

"She said-"

"Mama!" Angie was becoming frustrated. She'd already been ignored twice and she didn't like it.

Bones smiled at her and picked up the little girl, nuzzling her nose. "I can't believe you said your first word!" she said, kissing the little girl, who liked the attention she was finally getting from her mother.

Booth grinned and sat up, causing Parker to lose his balance and fall down behind him. Booth noticed this and turned around the pick up the little boy and place him in his lap, holding him down so he couldn't attack again.

"What else can you say?" Bones asked the little girl.

"Hugwy!" Angie exclaimed, and Bones understood immediately, reaching over towards the baby bag and pulling out a box of cookies, handing one to Angie, before handing three more to her other children, who'd crawled over to her, with the exception of Joey, who was still pouting in the stroller.

Booth took him out and sat him in his lap, with Parker, before handing him his cookie and getting Parker a sandwich from their picnic basket.

Bones continued to smile at Angie, who she was completely amazed had already begun speaking, and even more so that her first word had been 'Mama'.
