Title: The Morning After
Authour: writingherhope/writingforthemoney
(@ ff.net)Summary: "Hint: It's not what you think." So excited for these new eps! Also on that note this story has NOTHING to do with the new episodes it's set anywhere after her father came back into her life, but I use that quote as a Summary because it's really not what you think of after reading "The Morning After."
Rating: eh...? PG-13...
Pairing: B/B
Disclaimer: Not mine, I'm just borrowing them to create and build more unresolved sexual tension than in canon...I'll return them to Hart, FOX, and TPTB when I'm through.
The Next Morning
The alarm clock blared in her ears as she tried to ignore the need to move from her bed. For the first time in about a year, she didn't want to go to work. She wanted to spend another day like yesterday. Brennan smiled at the thought of Booth and her running through the park with Parker and playing frisbee.
Standing in her bathroom she wiped the steam off her mirror from the hot shower she had just taken, she looked at herself closely. Something had changed; her hair was the same, and her face didn't look any different. The harder she looked the more she realized, it was her apperance that had changed it was her persona. Thinking back she came to the conclusion that ever since Booth had walked into her life with his smug ass and charm smile she had become a different person, yet remarkably the same.
Her outlook on love and religion hadn't completely changed, but she was able to understand how and why others believed the way they did, because of him. She seemed to be a little more outgoing, and she noticed herself not staying as late at work everynight like she used to, because of him. She didn't find herself hungry late at night because she skipped a meal or three, because of him.
She smiled walking out of her apartment, hoping that they'd have a case.

Yesterday was amazing! Somehow he had convinced Rebecca to let him have Parker for the day, and he had a great time, or at least that's all he could assume by Parker's enthusiastic yelling, "Mommy, Mommy! Daddy and Dr. Bones and me went to the park today! We played frisbee, and tag and hide and seek and--"
Rebecca had smiled up at Booth as he mouthed a very greatful, "Thank you."
After Parker had told in very detail how much fun he had had to his mother, he turned to his father and asked him a question that everyone had wondered in some form or fashion but only a boy of his young age would ask, "Daddy? When we were dropping Dr. Bones off, why didn't you give her a kiss?"
Rebecca, Booth and Captain Fantasic all three choked on their drinks at the boys question, then the former and the latter both looked toward Booth and tried not to smile, waiting for his answer. "Parker, what makes you think … why… do what?" Booth didn't quite know what to say and therefore was very flustered.
Parker looked up at him with familiar eyes and explained, "Before Mark kisses mommy he always looks at her really hard and smiles and then he gets closer to her face and kisses her. You did that with Dr. Bones and then you hugged her."
Booth coughed, "Parker I wasn't going to kiss Bones, I was hugging her. I don't want to kiss Bones." He could care less if Rebecca bought his story just as long as his son did so he wouldn't say anything like that while they were around Bones.
"Daddy," the little boy looked up at his father with a cute look of disapproval, "didn't grandma ever tell you not to fib."
That was all it took. Rebecca and Mark burst into laughter looking at Booth. "Yeah Seeley, you should set a good example for your son. Don't lie to him."
Booth glared at her and tried once more, "Parker, I was just hugging Bones goodbye, that's that." He said before he stood and was hugging him goodbye. "Bye Parker, I'll see this weekend."
"But Daddy, you looked at Dr. Bones the same way Mark looks at Mommy." He argued. At Booth's look he sighed, "I'm sorry daddy, love you."
Booth smiled thinking back on that event, he had so much wanted to kiss Bones, but he lost his nerve; telling himself that it was because of Parker. But he knew it was just because he was terrified of her running.
A/N: When first writing this I forgot what Captain Fantasic's name really was so Brent was just a filler, however since then I've figured it out, but I'm too lazy to fix it, just excuse my laziness. :)
