Summary: Why is Parker not seeing his dad and Bones? When things change is it for the better or worse?
Talking
As the next few months went by Booth and Bones had only gotten to see Parker a handful of times. It was becoming the norm for Booth to get a call from his ex on the day before he was suppose to have Parker. Part of the time he was told a reason other times he was just told that his son wouldn't be with him. So when his phone rang Monday as he and Bones started in on dinner it surprised them both.
"Booth"
"Seeley, I'm pulling into your parking lot we need to talk!" His ex said.
"Are you in Drew's or your car? I don't see either outside." He asked looking out the living-room window.
"I'm in my car. Can you come down?" Quickly walking out the door it didn't take him long to get to his SUV.
"Rebecca, where are you? I'm in the parking lot by my SUV."
"Booth I don't have time for games! We need to talk now!"
"I'm not trying to be a problem Rebecca. Bones and I were just starting dinner."
"Don't tell me there is still a gas leak in your apartment?"
"No, they found building issues that are being fixed. Didn't Parker tell you I was still staying with Bones?"
"He said you guys saw her not that you were still staying with her."
"Is there a reason you needed to see me?" He asked walking back up to what he and Bones called their home.
"Meet me in your office in fifteen minutes!" Was the last thing he heard before the line went dead.
"Was that a case?" Bones asked watching him grab his keys and jacket.
"No, Rebecca wants to talk."
"When will she be by? Is Parker with her?" The happiness at seeing his son evident in her face.
"She wants to talk in my office. I'm not sure but I don't think Parks is with her."
"Okay, call me when your on your way home." She said before kissing him goodbye.
After the number of cases the pair had worked on in the past of missing or killed loved ones they had promised each other to never miss a chance to show their love for each other. That rang true with every kiss they exchanged. This one was no exception.
"Rebecca, what is the problem?" Booth asked as she entered his office.
"We need to talk."
"I'm guessing this isn't going to be a friendly chat." He said sitting down behind his desk. The only light in the room being his desk light. Most of the floor was dark as the officers tonight were on higher floors or on stake outs.
"Seeley, I know you and Dr Brennan are a couple!"
"We haven't hidden this from anyone but go ahead."
"At first I was worried about how things would go. If you two wouldn't work out what that would do to our son. But things were fine for so long it didn't seem to effect your relationship."
"No matter what happens between Bones and I it Will Not interfere with mine and Parkers relationship or his and Bones's. " He told a now pacing Rebecca.
"I know that I meant about you and her. Every time Parker meets one of your women things go great for a few weeks some times a few months but then it all goes away. The fall out not only hurts you and the other woman but our son as well. Seeley, when you bring women in his life you need to make sure they are there to stay. He doesn't need your wet nurse or some one with a mommy complex around." She took a breath but kept going with out looking at him.
"I know when we split we agreed to not let him be hurt. That's what I'm trying to stop now."
"You can't really think Bones of all people would hurt him?" He asked in amazement.
"Not on purpose but as he and you have both told me she isn't use to other people. She's a great doctor, good at her job, and Parkers over the moon for her,"
"But" he added.
"But she's not his mother! She doesn't know what's best for him! She may know a lot about how a person lived and died but she doesn't know how to raise our son!"
"Rebecca, I don't know where this is coming from but Bones loves Parker she would Never let any one or thing hurt him if she could help it! That includes herself and I!" Booth's voice carrying out into the empty space outside his office.
"I didn't come here to argue. I'm here to say until your back in your own place you will not see our son." Her words leaving no room for argument. The silence in the room was deafening.
"Are you telling me that I can't see my son because I'm with Bones?"
"All I'm saying is until you have your own place and time for one on one time with our son you will not be seeing him!"
"Is this payback for when Drew moved in? I didn't know him he was a man you had said you were seeing but that's all I knew. However, you know Bones. On more then one occasion you have spoken to her. You know she wouldn't ever hurt him?"
"This is not payback. It's what's going to happen!"
"So I either stay with the woman I love and give up my son. Or I give up the woman I love and get to see my son. You can't do this!"
"I can and I did! Parkers safety and happiness are the first thing on my mind when I get up each day and its the last thing I think about each night!"
"Rebecca, don't do this!"
"It's done Seeley."
"When you get set up somewhere else call me and we'll get set up for Parker to see you." She said looking at the fury in his eyes that matched her own.
"Rebecca, you can't make me choose, that's not fair to any one."
"He doesn't have to." A voice spoke from the darkness.
"Bones?"
"What I need will be packed with in the next ten minutes. Booth you and Parker stay in the apartment. I have to go out if town for the next few weeks." Without waiting on a reply from either parent Bones quickly exited the room and headed towards her car.
"Rebecca, I don't know what's gotten into you but right now I need to find Bones before she leaves." He was heading out the door as her words stopped him.
"That's right I forgot for a moment your commitment to her out weighs the one to our son!" She angerly spat at him.
"Whats really bugging you? That I found someone that I love who loves me back with my faults and all or that Our son likes her better then he likes most people?" He saw the moment his words hit there mark.
"Rebecca, I love Parker! Nothing will ever be more important to me then my son! But if I don't find Bones before she leaves it might be to late." This time he didn't listen to her as he left his office in search of Bones. So he missed her last words.
"Would that be so bad?" She asked before turning and leaving.
By the time Booth got home all he found was a tear filled note and a cold dinner.
Booth,
I don't know what I have done to Rebecca to make her be this way but, it must have been bad. As you always tell me time heals all wounds. So please give me this time. The rent for the next twelve months is paid on both the apartment and storage. Please just box my things up and I'll have Angela and Jack come and get them.
I know you love me Booth but I know we aren't meant to be right now! Maybe later in life we will be but, right now your place is with your son! If me being here is what's keeping you apart it only seems right that I be the one to leave. Please don't look for me. Wendell can go into the field with you and the rest of the team gets along well with him. Just know that I will always love you And Parker!
