Chapter 20 House Warming
It was finally the first week-end they would all be at home at the same time, well at least they would all be in the same building. Booth and Parker would be in his apartment and she in hers. She should have been happy, but she wasn’t. Booth was going to be gone from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Oh she might get to see him and Parker but if, and only if, Parker asked to see her. They had decided to let Parker be the one to decide, although Booth was pretty sure Parker would want to spend some of the week-end with Bones, she wasn’t as confident.
She was sitting in her office working on her new book, she had been a little behind since she and Booth had married. This was another thing she was not used to. Usually she met all of her deadlines, recently she found herself calling her editor and asking for an extension. She did not intend to ask for another. She had sent some chapters from Las Vegas while they were on their honeymoon and some while they had been parted but since she had been home with him it was hard to concentrate on writing when all she wanted to do was spend her time in his arms no matter where they were. Her editors were much happier with her writing. They felt it was much more appealing and the fans were going to like it too. She didn’t understand the difference, but supposed since Andy really had been fashioned after Booth it was only natural for her changed relationship with him to be showing through.
Just then her phone rang and as she saw the phone ID she smiled “Hi Baby” she said into the phone only to hear Parker’s voice say “Bones?” Oh shit she thought what now. She panicked and hung up the phone. It rang again and the ID was the same “Hello?” This time she didn’t take any chances.
“Hey Bones that you?”
“Yeah Booth, sorry Booth I thought it was you and I didn’t know what to do so I panicked and hung up and then I just… well I… oh Booth… did I?”
“Hey Baby its ok I’m in the bedroom. Parker just thinks he dialed the wrong number. I have him using the house phone and he’s is getting a busy signal now, so when we get off the phone answer it like normal and we will get this worked out. For the rest of the week-end just assume it is Parker ok? I had to come in here to tell you how much I miss you and love you. I’m calling as soon as Parker goes to sleep tonight. More phone sex Bones. Man I hate it, especially when home is only feet away.”
“I know, Booth do you think of here as home? Why isn’t your place home as much as mine?”
“Because Baby home is only where you are, so tonight I am away from home. Now I better get off the phone and let Parker call you, love you Baby.”
She waited nervously until her phone rang again knowing this time it was Parker and answered as soon as it rang. “Hello.”
“Hey Bones, it’s me Parker. I tried to call earlier but I guess I got the wrong number because someone answered ‘hi baby’ and that wouldn’t be you would it?”
She didn’t want to lie to the child but here was one of those time when Booth said it was in Parker’s best interest. They didn’t want Parker to know they were married and have to keep their secret so she just gave him the answered they had decided on. “No Parker I would not do that normally. What did you call for?”
“Dad and I are going to the Park tomorrow for a picnic and I want you to come can you?”
“Sure Parker I can do that.” Perhaps Booth was right Parker would want them to spend some time together.
“Gee Dr. Bones it sure is great us living next door. Now you can go with us where ever we go. You want to do that right? We don’t even need your key to the pool anymore we have our own. Isn’t that cool? Dad’s new place is great and so is the TV and game console and games you got us; he said it was a house warming present. Bones how does a TV heat a house, and why is it called a house warming present when this is an apartment?”
“Wow Parker slow down, yes I think it very nice your Father lives right next door and by extension you are here also on your week-end visits. I believe a house warming present is given to make the new resident feel comfortable in their new residence, therefore I felt the thing you and your Father would like the most would be a TV and a gaming console with games. Did I choose correctly?”
“Wow did you ever. Well I gotta go Dad says dinner is ready. Oh and I forgot to say thank you for the present since it was for me and Dad. See ya tomorrow. Here’s Dad.”
“Hey Bones sorry about all that he’s still excited about the TV and games. We’re going to play some before he goes to bed. Yeah he goes to bed at 8:30 so he will have plenty of sleep for the park tomorrow. Parker says you can go right?”
“You know I’ll go Booth, are you telling me you’ll be calling me at 8:30?”
“More like 9, but we should be ready to leave for the park by around 11:30 or 12?”
“Yeah Booth that will be fine I’ll talk to you later; I have a game I want us to play tonight. Do you want to play with me?”
“You know that I do. Talk to you later BeeBee.”
“BeeBee? What do you mean by BeeBee?”
“Later” he said laughing lightly as he hung up the phone.
Later after dinner Booth let Parker pick out a game to play, it took him a while but finally he decided on he decided on Super Mario Galaxy 2. It was actually the first time Booth had watched either the TV or played a game and he had to admit the game console graphics and game were fantastic. The 3D graphics had both Booth and Parker so entranced he almost forgot to watch the time. He looked at the clock and saw it was 8:20 “hey Park’s time for bed you need to be in bed in 10 minutes let’s go boy if you want a story.”
“Aww Dad can’t I play for 10 minutes and no story? Please?”
“No Little Man, bed time now park with Bones tomorrow remember.”
“Oh yeah I forgot” and he ran to put all of the game controllers away and got ready for bed. He was ready and waiting for his story in 5 minutes.
Booth laughed to himself like father like son, looks like Bones had the same effect on Parker as she did on him. Just the mention of her name and the fact he would see her in the morning and Parker ran to do whatever Booth had asked him to. He would have to remember that for future reference. Booth found the current story Parker was interested in and started reading. The combination of the new games, exercise needed to play the games and the promise of seeing Bones in the morning had Parker asleep before Booth had finished the chapter. Carefully marking his place he covered Parker, turned out his light and closed his door walking down the hall to his own room wondering what kind of game Bones wanted to play.

He threw his clothes in the hamper and grabbing the phone crawled into bed about 10 minutes later than he had promised her, all in all not too late for the father of an eight year old boy with a new gaming system. Pressing #1 on his preset he waited for her answer “Hey BeeBee” he said in his low sexy growl you asked me if I could play. My wife said I could so you wanna?”
“Booth who is BeeBee?”
“That Baby is what I decided I’m going to use when Parker is here and I can’t call you baby. You know beebee sort of short for Baby.”
“Oh very cute Booth maybe I won’t play with you after all.”
“Go ahead, I have permission from my wife to play by myself, so maybe I don’t need you” he laughed.
“Oh your wife said you could play alone did she, what if she decides to withdraw her permission?” She smiled to herself.
“Then she might be the one who suffers all those exercises I’m supposed to do you know” he laughed.
“Yes Mr. Booth” she laughed “are you comfortable?”

Well another week-end at the Booth/Brennan household this one with Parker in it. How will they survive? Could you?
