"This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that doesn't end…"
"Parker, how do you know that song?" asked Booth.
"Aunt Tori taught me." The boy continued singing and playing as if he was never interrupted.
Booth glared at his little sister, "What? I'm a child of the 90's, I can't help it."
"You know he's going to sing that forever right?"
"Well that's sort of the point of the song that doesn't end."
"Lay off the sarcasm and come sit down for dinner."
"Alright come on Parker. We have to go eat because your daddy is a party pooper." She stood up and the six year-old grabbed her hand and let her lead him to the table.
They all sat and were enjoying their macaroni and cheese when Parker started asking questions, "Tori, how old are you?"
"I'm sixteen."
"What grade are you in?"
"I'm in eleventh grade. What grade are you in?" she of course already knew the answer, but felt obligated to ask anyway.
"I'm in first grade. Why do you live with my daddy?"
"He's my brother."
"I know, but why don't you live with your mommy and daddy? I live with my mommy most of the time."
"My mommy and daddy don't live in D.C."
"Where do they live?"
"My dad lives in Philadelphia and my mom is dead."
"Your mommy is dead?"
"Yeah she got really sick and passed away." He can find out when he is older that she was actually high and committed suicide by slitting her wrists. For now it wasn't necessary knowledge, especially not for a six year-old.
"I'm sorry, Tori. So why do you live in D.C. instead of Philadelphia with your daddy?"
"I would rather live her with your daddy. I have more friends here anyway."
"Do you have a best friend?"
"Yes I do."
"What is her name?"
"Well his name is Ryan."
"Is he your boyfriend?' Parker laughed after he asked that.
"Yes he is."
"Is he going to come hang out with us?"
"Tomorrow he is yeah, but for tonight it's just you, me, and your daddy."
"What about Uncle Jared? Why don't you live with him?"
"Do you not want me to live with your dad Parker?"
"No, I just thinks it's kind of weird."
"Why is it weird?"
"Because he isn't your daddy and you moved here without your daddy and now you live with him."
"Well he isn't my daddy, but my daddy did want me to come and live with him so he sent me here." One more lie won't hurt for now.
"Oh, that makes more sense. So what are we going to do tonight?"
"What do you want to do Parker?"
"Stay up late and watch a movie, but first we are going to play some more."
"That sounds really fun." That's exactly what they did too.
The next day everyone slept in a little bit and had a nice breakfast of pancakes. Around eleven there was a knock at the door as expected. It was Ryan and when Tori opened the door he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Booth."
"Hi Ryan."
"Parker this is Ryan, last night I told you he was coming over, remember?"
"Yeah he's your boyfriend."
"I sure am and you are her nephew."
"Yeah."
"Tori said that today we are going to do whatever you want. So what are we going to do?"
"Go to the park!"
Right then Seeley's cell phone rang. When he was done talking into it he turned to the kids and said, "That was work. We have a new case and I have to be there ASAP."
"Well go, we can watch Parker."
"By yourselves?"
"What are we going to do with my nephew in the room?"
"Ok, but I'm going to check in as often as I can so be sure to keep your phone with you."
"I always do."
"Good. Thank you for doing this."
He went and got dressed and left for work.
"So do you still want to go to the park, Parker?" asked Ryan.
"Yeah."
"Then you better go and get dressed buddy," said Tori.
He ran off to his room, "He's pretty awesome your nephew."
"You barely even know him. How can you tell?"
"I just can." He kissed her seeing as there wouldn't be very much of that happening for the rest of the day.
