Chapter 47
The next morning Bones was in the kitchen making coffee feeling much better. She hadn't even had one bit of nausea this morning. She idly wondered if their tantric breathing and connection last night had been what helped. If it was she was going to insist they do it more often. She looked at the coffee pot containing the coffee she had just made for Booth longingly as she drank her herbal tea. She loved coffee and had just recently been able to enjoy it again now that Parker didn't depend on her milk supply. Now she had to stop again. Oh well she sighed it was for a good reason. "Good morning" she said to Booth as he entered the kitchen reaching for a coffee mug.
"Good morning," Booth said as he pulled her into a hug from behind, kissing her neck. "I didn't hear you getting sick at all yet." he whispered as he nibbled on her ear. He wasn't sure why but he had woken up as horny as a 15 year old.
"That's because I didn't" she said leaning against him. "Mmmm someone is happy to be awake this morning" she laughed as she leaned backwards into his erection and rubbed.
Booth moaned into her ear. "Mmm hmmm." was his more verbal reply as he ground his own hips against her a bit. "Why do we have children again?" he asked in a joking whisper.
"I wished we didn't have to see Colin this morning. Do you think you will feel like this later when Parker is taking his nap?" she laughed.
Booth laughed too, "Just remind me through-out the day and I am sure to feel like it later."
Just then Parker came shuffling out of his room, one hand rubbing his eyes the other scratching his lower stomach. He had taken his pajama shirt off at some point in the night so was just wearing his Scooby Doo pajama shorts.
She smiled at Booth "I'll remember that. Good morning Parker did you sleep well?"
"Kinda...I have a headache." Parker said with a slight pout as he climbed onto one of the kitchen stools. "Do you got anything for it?"
Booth chuckled slightly at the way his son said that. "I'm sure Mommy can get you some of your chewable Tylenol while I get your other meds."
"I do get breakfast stuff...not just medicine right." Parker said in what appeared to be a playfully exasperated tone.
"Oh course you do she smiled as she ruffled his hard walking by to go the the bathroom to get his Tylenol.
Booth watched her go and get Parker's pain medication and as she did so he went to a locked cabinet in the kitchen and got out his other medication. He got the Lithium pill, the Lamectal chewable pill, his Flintstone chewable vitamin and the Colace syrup since he hated swallowing pills. Parker took the Lithium by pill instead of syrup because the syrup was awful. As he took them to Parker he felt sick to his stomach. He hated that his son had to take all this.
Parker willingly took all the meds and then looked at his Dad curiously. "You made Mommy cry and get sick last night. You said you wouldn't do that crap anymore."
Booth sighed, "People make mistakes...and Daddy needs to get some help so he doesn't get mad at Mommy or you so much." he admitted as he went to the fridge. "Toaster waffles or cereal this morning?"
Parker thought about that, "Both? I'm REALLY hungry."
"Sure," Booth went about getting everything ready and continued to talk. "Daddy may start taking medicine in the morning like you too Bud."
"Even the Bam Bam vitamin?" Parker asked giggling. The idea of his Daddy taking a character vitamin was silly.
"No not that...but the pill you swallow...do you know what that pill is supposed to help you with?"
"Make me not get really really sad...or really really happy." Parker repeated what his psychiatrist had told him.
Bones walked around the corner just in time to hear their conversation and since they had started she wanted to make another thing very clear. "Parker remember I told you last night that sometimes Mommy and Daddy's fight but if they love each other they always work things out." Walking over to Booth she pulled him in for a kiss "see Parks Daddy and I still love each other. We just needed to work some things out."
"Well you don't have to kiss in the kitchen!" Parker said in a playfully disgusted tone before shoving a spoonful of cornflakes into his mouth.
Booth smirked at this and pulled her in for another quick kiss. "I do believe our working things out' is grossing out the kid."
"Me too but he had better get used to it because there is going to be a lot more of it around here. I like it and I think the babies do too. Parker are you going to share the picture of your babies at school today?"
"Should I?" Parker asked seeming very eight year old like that morning despite his disrupted sleep.
"That's up to you...and of course you'll have to ask your teachers if it's okay." Booth pointed out as he got Parker's waffles out of the toaster and went about putting sugar free syrup on it. "Also do you plan to have a better day today?"
"I don't go into school thinking I will have a bad day." Parker giggled. "That would be stupid."
"Yes we know that and it would be stupid, but I have to ask Parker what are you going to do about Chris. How can you show him you care about him in ways that are more appropriate?"
"Maybe I liked the way I handled it before." Parker said with a smirk before putting a huge bite of food in his mouth.
Booth glanced at Bones since he didn't really know what had gone on. He knew it had thrown Parker into a rage and ended up secluded so he knew it wasn't good.
Parker saw the look on his Mom's face and held a hand up. "Kidding..." he said with his mouthful.
"Parker that is not funny, and obviously you Father doesn’t know what happened so why don’t you tell him what you think happened and why you think you wound up being separated from the other children.
"Do I gotta..." Parker whined putting his fork down and pouting. He remembered making the deal with his Mom to talk to his Daddy about what happened, but he didn't want to. "I didn't sleep last night... cuz you guys were throwing fits and screaming. I shouldn't have to talk about crap I don't wana."
"Parker Seeley Booth..." Booth exclaimed he hated his son's mood swings and going back and forth from a toddler to a bratty boy who acted even older than his actual age.
Bones moved over and slid in front of Booth pulling his arms around her leaning back and whispering in his ear, "breathe" and placing his hands on her stomach to let him feel her breathing pattern. It had worked last night, maybe it would work now.
"Parker we are waiting" his Mother continued watching him.
"Fine." Parker said as he stood up and put his hands on his hips. "I wanted Chris to feel better about living at the hospital and missing his Mom so I rubbed his dick. It always made me feel better when Jonathan did it." with that said he simply walked out of the room to his bedroom and closed the door.
Booth sat there with his arms around Bones with his mouth open in shock. He wasn't sure if he was more freaked and shocked about his son's explanation of what happened or HOW he said it, like it really wasn't a big deal. It seemed he felt more put out by discussing it then what actually happened. "Did he really just say that" he asked in a surprisingly calm voice?
Turning around in Booths arms she said "yeah he did and that's what happened except for the part he left out about getting caught, but we know what happened there. We are supposed to talk to him about it and try and get him to see it was wrong and to find a better strategy when he wants to make Chris feel better. Although I certainly hope they will not be left unsupervised again after this. But how are we supposed to make him see it is wrong, without making him feel he is wrong. It's the behavior not him, and if he hadn't been abused none of this would have happened anyway." She looked at Booth with a sad smile knowing they had to figure something out but also knowing she was way out of her element.
Taking a deep breath Booth tried to think of a way to help his son. He knew the boy was getting older and yes he had been abused, but it was times like this that little boys began to get curious anyway. With the babies coming and Parker's overly sexual view on things he felt he had to have 'the talk' with his son before he lost his nerve. "I should talk to him...man to man...even though I don't want to...but he is the right age and he knows too much anyway but probably not in the right way." With a nod from Bones, Booth stood up. "Maybe you should call Parker's school, tell them we're having a bit of a rough morning and he'll be late. I still want to get his 2 hours in though."
"Ok I call and I have them tell Colin too. I think this is more important."
"Okay," Booth said before going down the hallway and knocking on Parker's door. "Parks...can I come in?" he asked his son calmly. Inside his head he was praying over and over he knew the right thing to say. Part of him figured he should talk to Colin or Parker's teachers or somebody before doing this, but at the same time he felt he had to do this HIS way.
"Yeah guess so. What cha want?"
