A/N: I came up with this one day… with the help of Tootapanga1 and created this manly based on the title. It's a doozy, right?

Hope you enjoy the storyline!

"Come on…" Seeley urged as she led his son by the hand. It had been months since he'd seen him. Phone calls and letters only did so much, in between the odd visit back to the states when he wasn't in complete demand for army training.

He was yet to see Bones since he left for Afghanistan, and he was dying to. His heart pounded in anticipation of seeing her face after all this time. Unlike his son, there had been no letters or phone calls during the course of the year they'd been apart. Life had changed drastically for him. Changes had been made. His world had been turned upside down.

"Dad…" Parker looked up at his father. "Are you going to tell Bones about her?"

His heart tugged at the name that was only too familiar.

"Yeah, buddy, I'm gonna tell her…" he sighed as he screamed in his head. He had no idea how he was going to break the news. How did he tell her that he had changed the course of his life? Last time they were together, he was desperately in love with his partner, so much so that it hurt to breathe.

"Are we going to see her now?" Parker pressed impatiently.

"Yes, buddy," he smiled at the enthusiasm of his son. He had missed him immeasurably. But it was nothing to the pain that he'd endured being away from his partner. While he had a bond with his child that was stronger than the earth, he knew that his time spent with Bones was more frequent and the withdrawals would be a hell of a lot harder to tolerate.

They were on the way now… to the reflecting pool.

He could see it as they walked, and his eyes scanned the place looking for a familiar structure of his partner's face. Would she look different? Would he look different to her?

Parker tugged on his hand.

"What's up buddy?"

"I see her!" he stated pointing across the way.

He looked up to see her.
