"Uh Hi Rebecca...Your Early." Bones froze, Sully not knowing what was going on did the same. Rebecca looked at a soaked Seely and held back a laugh. Parker being eight and not knowing any better proclaimed that his father was indeed soaking wet. Booth was increasingly embarrassed as Parker walked into Bones' house and said goodbye to his mother. Brennen and Sully had cleaned up the kitchen as fast as possible and Brennen just smiled at Parker as Parker strolled into the kitchen followed by Booth. Booth almost tripped over Parker as Parker stopped short looking at Sully.
Sully looked at Parker who stared back at her with the same intensity. Brown eyes looking into electric blue ones. "Dad, whose that?" Parker, not impolitely said to his father. Booth made his way to stand next to Bones who had her hands on Sully's shoulders.
"Park, this is Sully, she..." Booth still hadn't come up with a way to describe Sully.
"She's helping us with our investigation, Parker, and she'll be staying with us for a little while." Booth thanked the lord that Brennen was here to help him.
"Oh, well hi Sully. My names Parker." Parker extended an arm for Sully to shake and Sully cocked her head to the side, smiled and accepted the handshake. Booth looked at Bones who returned the look and mouthed the words "I love you" to her partner. Booth's eyes sparkled as he leaned over to kiss her, Brennen recoiled as soon as she heard Parker squeal.
"DAD!" Parker laughed and pointed at Booth who was now blushing and Brennen who was looking at the ground. Sully bit her lip and found a sudden interest in her still soaked socks.
"Uh well, ya I'm Sully, Bones why don't you go get changed. Parker why don't you watch T.V and I'm gonna go get dried off." Parker looked at Sully and raised his eye brows, Sully just smirked but followed Booth's instructions and went to go put on dry clothes. Brennen had just finished getting dressed and was about to fix her hair when she felt Booth's hands on her hips. She felt him press his lips behind her ear and slowly work his way down her neck until he found her collar line. "Booth..." Brennen groaned.
"Yes, can I help you?" Booth made his way up her jaw line.
"We're going to be late." Brennen moved so she could see his face.
"We have an hour before the appointment..." Booth mumbled his voice muffled by Brennen's hair.
"We don't want...." Brennen was cut off my Booth kissing her with a passion she had never felt before from any man. Kissing Booth was second nature to Brennen and she kissed back with equal force proving how much she really did love him. Booth felt her moan as he ran his tongue along her bottom lip.
"Booth...really...we...have...to...stop" Brennen said in between Booth's lips meeting hers. Booth reluctantly pulled away.
"Hey Bones, I just realized I never really...You know asked you out, properly." Brennen raised her eyebrows.
"So, Temperance Brennen" Brennen's eyebrows shot up at him using her real name instead of the nickname she had come to love. "Will you go out with me?" Brennen flashed a charm smile she learned from Booth.
"Of course." Booth couldn't help but kiss her one more time before she pushed him out of the bathroom. Booth smiled and wandered his way into the living room where Parker had selected the television show, "Phineas and Ferb" and was humming the theme song as Sully continued to read Swiss Family Robinson. Fifteen minutes later Bones walked out of the bathroom looking as amazing as ever and flashed her version of the charm smile as Booth looked on in awe.
"Booth I'm assuming we're taking your car." Booth took a second to compose himself before responding.
"Um ya Bones, Sully, Parker grab coats lets rock n' roll." Booth grabbed Brennen's hand and laced fingers as Brennen locked the door of her apartment. Booth laughed on the inside because of the odd glances the apartment staff gave them as the odd group made their way from the elevator. They knew Dr. Brennen and Special Agent Seely Booth but them mixed together? And with kids with them nonetheless. Brennen curiously glanced at Booth when the security guards Booth had come to know winked at the pair as they passed.
The car ride to the hospital was relatively silent as the group of four settled in to act like a family as Booth had put it the night before. Sully stared out the window the whole time, Parker counted red cars, Brennen stared out the window, and Booth gently caressed Brennen's hand with his thumb the entire car ride.
Parker jumper out of the car as soon as Booth pulled into the hospital parking lot. Brennen and Booth glanced at each other and stepped out of the car closely followed by Sully. Parker grabbed his father's hand and his father grabbed Bones' hand as they made their way up the concrete path with Sully walking awkwardly to the side of them.
Bones made her way to the front to desk to make sure they knew they were there while Booth, Parker and Sully went and sat in the waiting area. Booth smiled as Brennen made her way back to the unorthodox group where she found Booth's hand waiting for hers. They hadn't been sitting in the waiting room long when a nurse with a kind face came to inform them that the doctor was ready to see them. The group made their way down the the halls of the hospital.
Brennen hated hospitals. It made her think of all the times Booth was in them. How scared she had been. It made her think that since the time that she had known him he had been in the hospital numerous times, because of her. The time that ex-Special Agent Jamie Kenton had rigged her refrigerator to blow up, trying to kill her but Booth was there at the time and opened the refrigerator first. Booth than proceeded in checking himself out of the hospital and coming to save her. Or the time Pam had tried to shoot at her but Booth got in the way. He had almost died, and for a few weeks she actually thought he had died. During that period all of the walls that Booth had torn down to get to the real Brennen were rebuilt to keep people out and she returned to the cold, clinical being she was before she met Booth.
She suddenly felt herself being pulled back to reality as Booth started to nudge her into the room the nurse was directing them into.
The doctors appointment went smoothly for the most part, halfway through Booth and Parker got up to go get a snack from the vending machine. Sully still refused to say anything but did whatever the doctor asked and in no time a cast was plastered to her arm and they were leaving the building.
