59. Store

"Booth?"

"Morning, beautiful, sorry I woke you."

"That's okay. Where are you going?"

"The store. We have literally no food left, and—"

"Parker."

"Yeah, Rebecca is dropping him off at 11. Listen, Bones—"

"He's staying with you for a week, Booth—"

"With us, Bones. Parker is staying with us. Look, Parker adores you, and he is going to be so happy about us, and about the baby, but we don't have to tell him he's going to be a big brother yet, we can wait until you're ready. He's wanted you to be my girlfriend since the moment he met you, and he's always wanted a sibling."

"What if he changed his mind?"

"He hasn't, Bones. When I told him he was staying here for the week he asked if we could invite you over for dinner, and movies, and game night. Parker loves you, Bones."

"I don't want him to feel like I'm taking your attention away from him, maybe I should stay at my apartment, until he's more used to the idea."

"That is not happening, Bones, if you go back to your apartment Parker and I are coming with you. Parker loves your apartment, with all your bones junk—"

"Artefacts."

"—and your pool!"

"It's not technically my pool, Booth."

"You know what else is amazing about your apartment— the bed. It's just so soft, and has plenty of space, and it doesn't make as much noise as my bed does."

"Booth, we are not having sex with Parker in the apartment!"

"Don't think you can keep quiet, Bones?"

"I'm more concerned about you, Booth. I am able to remain silent if the situation presents itself."

"Is that a challenge, Bones?"

"Maybe, why don't you come back to bed and find out."

"Oh, you're on."
