Chapter Fifteen: First Day of School

"Parker, wake up, Buddy!" Booth said, shaking his son, who was currently nestled under his blankets, while his air conditioner went full blast on the other end of the room.

Parker didn't move an inch and Booth gently pulled down the thin sheet, revealing...

A pillow.

Booth stood up straight, becoming slightly panicked. "Parker?" he whispered looking throughout the room. "Parker?" he said, slightly louder.

"Yeah, Daddy?" A small voice came from behind him.

Booth jumped a foot in the air, before turning and seeing his now six-year old son standing there, school clothes already on and his hair neatly combed back, with his mouth full of foam as he brushed his teeth.

"Parker!" he practically yelped. "You nearly gave your old man a heart attack."

"Sowry!" Parker said, through a mouthful of foam, before walking back to the bathroom, his father in tow.

"What was that pillow doing under your sheets?" Booth asked, as they entered the bathroom.

Parker motioned for his dad to lift him up so he could spit. Booth obliged, grunting at how heavy his little boy had gotten over the last few years. Parker spit and rinsed out his mouth before placing his toothbrush back in the cup.

Booth put him back on the ground. "Jeez, Buddy! You're getting too big! You almost broke your dad's back!" Booth cracked his back and Parker winced.

"Bones says you shouldn't do that, Dad." Parker chastised.

"You're not gonna rat me out, are ya?" Booth asked.

Parker folded his arms over his chest. "Only if you stop doing that and go see a doctor."

Booth chuckled. "Whatever you say, little Bones. You are so much like her, you know that?"

Parker smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Booth chuckled again and ruffled his son's hair. "You all ready for school, Buddy?"

"Yup! I just gotta find my shoes and kiss all my brothers and sisters goodbye." Parker said, running out of the kitchen, in the direction of the nursery, where Bones was already up, and changing Angie while Luna played with her brothers in their playpen.

As soon as Parker entered the room, all four of the babies began to chant his name in excitement.

"Pawka! Pawka!"

Parker smiled, walking over to the playpen and high-fiving his baby brothers before he leaned down to gently kiss Luna on her cheek. Luna giggled and pulled at his long blonde hair.

"Oww!" he said, pulling Luna's hand away. "Easy, Luney! I just did my hair."

"You mean I just did your hair, don't you?" Bones said, walking over to him, with Angie on her hip. Angie leaned over to hug Parker before being placed in the playpen with her siblings.

"Of course I do, Bones." Parker said, sweetly, sending his stepmother that patented charm smile.

Bones smiled back and kissed his forehead, brushing back a stray piece of hair. "You look so handsome." she said in a motherly tone, a tear threatening to fall down her cheek.

"Bones? Are you crying?" Parker asked, just as Booth walked in.

The first thing to come to Booth;'s mind was, Uh oh.

Bones shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little emotional today, is all."

"Oh. Is it that time of the month?" Parker asked, bluntly.

"Parker!" Booth scolded.

"What?" Parker defended. "That's always what mom says when she get's all emotional. Only that happens a lot more than just once a month."

Bones giggled, before leaning down to kiss his forehead again. "No, Parker. It's not that time of the month. But thanks for your concern. Now go get ready for school. Okay?"

Parker nodded before scampering off down the hall to find his shoes.

When he was out of earshot Booth walked up and pulled her towards him, kissing her sweetly on the forehead. "Bones...?" he asked, wearily.

Brennan nodded. "Yes, Booth, I'm pregnant."

Booth sighed, leaning his head on her shoulder. "Jeez, Bones. I thought we were gonna wait a little longer."

"Me too, but apparently nature has other plans. I think we conceived that night we came home from Hodgins and Angela's Independence Day party, when they had the kids. We forgot protection, and that was around the time I got that stomach virus...or so we thought. I just took a test this morning before you woke up. I was hoping to surprise you with a nice romantic dinner and-"

"Daddy! C'mon! We're gonna be late for school!" Booth grinned.

"One minute, pal! I'll be right out. Get all your stuff together." Parker ran out to the front hall to gather his things.

"I blame you for this." Booth mumbled into her neck.

"What?" Bones asked.

"You're the one that enrolled him in that science camp thing over the summer. Now he's all squinty and actually excited for school. He never used to be like that. You turned him into a squint. My son is a squint." Booth whined.

"You have two more sons to inherit your jocky traits. Maybe another one soon. So don't get your knickers in a twist."

Booth snorted. "Okay, Grandma. I'm just gonna go drive our oldest to school and we're gonna work on your modern day slang." Booth joked, kissing Bones sweetly before turning and running out the door before she could retort.

As they walked down to the car, Booth couldn't help but smile. Bones was pregnant. They were going to have another child. One that he would love and cherish and bring to school each morning, like he was doing right now, as he drove Parker to his first day of elementary school.

My, how the years go by. Booth thought to himself, as he kissed his little boy goodbye and handed him his lunch. "Bye, Daddy! I love you!" Parker called as he made his way towards a group of his friends.

Booth's smile widened.

He would never tire of hearing those words.

AWWWWWW! Isn't that sweet? Anyways, Happy Easter/Zombie Jesus/Passover/Sunday, everyone! Please REVIEW!
