Booth slowly opened his eyes. He was back in the hospital, as he promised the doctor, but it was different. Brennan was asleep in the chair next to his bed, with a 6-week old baby in her arms, and Parker was on the little pull-out couch. He smiled to himself. He had a cute little family.

"Hey, Bones," he said. "Bones?"

"Parker, too early," she mumbled. Booth knew there was a story there.

"I'm not Parker, babe." Brennan opened her eyes and smiled sleepily at him. "You look beautiful."

"My hair is a mess, my clothes are not pressed, and I believe Joseph spit up on me."

"Still beautiful."

"Booth, we should talk."

"Okay. Let's talk."

"I am not letting you go. I'm not letting Parker or Joseph know a life without you again. So, either you move in, or risk us living in the hall outside of your apartment," she said, reasonably. "I'm in-love with you. I am aware that I never believed in such a thing until forced to face it, but I am, and I'm not letting you go without a fight like you have never seen."

"Bones," he said, taking her hand. "I'm not going anywhere. As soon as I am officially released, I'll follow you anywhere." Brennan put the sleeping baby down in his stroller and moved to Booth'd bed. She leaned in and kissed him. It was just as she'd imagined it would be.

"Hey, 12-year-old in the room," Parker said, still covered and back facing them.

"Cover your eyes, I'm kissing my favorite girl."

"Gross Dad."

Life slowly found a good pace to move at. Parker got out of school for the summer, and went to the summer camps that were available through the school. Science, music and art where his choices for the summer. Booth was still not used to his little slugger as a squint, but it certainly did fit his personality

"How'd it happen, Bones?" he asked about 2 weeks after moving in. "How'd he become a squint?"

"When I became his foster parent, I had him tested for school. I hadn't picked one particular school, yet. He tests at levels as high as I did, higher than half the lab. He's far more brilliant than his old school properly understood. The school that had the best programs for him was the one I chose. It would help him raise his math scores, and build onto the high science and reading. He's very advanced. The public schools he started in gave him a social foundation that most of the students missed out on. He's extremely popular on top of having incredible scores."

"You're telling me that Parker is a genius, and nobody noticed?"

"Well, you noticed. You frequently reminded me how smart he is. Now there is documented proof." Brennan unlatched the baby from her breast, covered and put the now sleeping 3-month-old in his crib, in his own room. "I've been cleared for intercourse." Booth gagged. She always had a way of surprising him.

"You really know how to make a guy feel special."

"What I am saying," she said, straddling him where he sat on the couch, and surprising him again. "Is that I want you." Brennan leaned down and kissed him, as she'd only kissed him once before, many, many years earlier.

Only this time, it wouldn't end with her in a cab.
