A.N. I do not own Bones

Booth saw Bones' new car and knew the Prius had to go. Two door cars and car seats do not mix. He was expecting some big name, luxury brand. He was proven wrong when it was a Subaru. He knew they are a great car, especially for safety but they are pricey.

Brennan decided to end the debate about the Etham School and have Booth come with her when they were having an orientation meeting. Booth was going to use this as his chance to make a case of why the school is wrong for her.

The school is small and when he stepped inside, it looked like any other elementary school out there including a white bench outside of the principal ' s office. Even geniuses missbehave.

The meeting blew his mind away. Tara would have a heavy workload and as a preschooler, she would be doing the work of a kid in the first grade. Tara would have to take a foreign language which even Booth knew if they are introduced to the language get young, they can learn it fast. Tara could take Latin, Spanish, French, Chinese, or Arabic.

"I am going to chose Arabic for her as her challenge. She has a strong interest in learning about middle eastern history."

Booth did have some concerns even after the meeting. "Bones, when does Tara turn 3? I know pushing preschool this soon is too much for her. She already had to grow up too soon because of losing her parents soon but do not do it to her with her education. I know many public schools have accelerated programs for kids. It is a normal school expire center but in a more challenging ginger environment. She will socialize with other types of kids during lunch and recess, it will not be in the classroom. I also know those classes are kept small if you are going to use the student to teacher ratio argument."

Brennan was painted into the metaphorical corner. Booth knew her that well. Something Booth was doing is going house hunting with her because even she knew Tara needed a house to live in, not just an apartment that had no kids. She was looking at safe areas that were also kid friendly. She did want a gated community and something private since she is a best selling author and does not want the photographers to poking around.

Now the Stanley Cup playoffs were going on and Brennan had to record them all. During the next day, Tara would watch and it made her very happy. Tara did pick on Booth about the Bruins beating the Flyers. She could have sworn she heard Booth say "That's it, I am making her a Flyers fan."

The Bruins making it to the finals was the icing on the cake and the series kept everyone on their toes and biting their nails. Surprisingly Booth and Parker were cheering for the Bruins. "No cup for the Sedin sisters. The game seven shutout delivered by Tim Thomas was a glorious sight to see,"

Brennan was conflicted and that was spreading her friend's ashes in Martha's Vineyard. "Booth, I know it is their wish but I don't know if I can spread the ashes. I know Tara does not fully grasp the concepts of.."

Booth could see the distress. "Bones, do it when you are ready. No one is judging you on this. You ,let two dear friends and you have been trusted into parenthood. I know you have been talking about going on a vacation but where to?"

Brennan was going to surprise him, "Disney world. Tara and I are going be staying at the Animal Kingdom. We will be going on August 20th and returning on the 30th. I was thinking, would you and Parker like to stay with us."

Booth knew he was going to have Parker for those ten days anyways because Rebecca is going to some spa in Arizona and she knew this would torment Parker. "Bones, I would love to and I am sure Parker would love it too but what about us imposing.."

Brennan rolled her eyes "Booth, I am getting a villa so there will be space."

Booth did some thinking. He did know about the park hopper pass "Allright Bones, Parker and I will go but under a few conditions because I know the battle of the hotel room will be lost. I will be responsible for air tickets but let me know when you are flying so we can either get on the same flight or if we take different flights, we can come in around the same time. We will split food expenses down the middle. I will handle park passes between Parker and myself. How do you plan on getting to the hotel?"

"They have busses that pick you up at the airport and take you to the airport when you leave. I know they have busses that can take you from park to park. A car does not seem practical with how little use I will be using it."

The vacation plans would be set and Booth could use one. Now, going on vacation with Parker just sweetened the deal. Ten days with Parker is going to be wonderful. Now he had another question.

"Bones, Pops is going to be turning 89 in a few weeks. Jared and I are going to be taking him out to eat at this restaurant near the nursing home that he likes. I would like you and Tara to come. He knows about her and Jared and Padme as well. I have Parker that weekend anyways, please?"

Sometimes Booth is impossible to say no to and logically, she was not surprised that the others knew about Tara. "I will go."

Booth pulled her into a hug. "Thank you Bones."

Something that Booth had been thinking of for a long time is he knew he is in love with Temperance Brennan but kept his mouth shut. He did not want to scare the best thing that has happened to him besides Parker away. He had been slowly worming his way into her. Right now is not the time for any moves. She just lost two friends and became a parent suddenly. He would be there for her as her friend and to make sure that Tara gets to do normal kid things.
