Just because I love how even though Parker accepted Hannah, he couldn't hide his love for Brennan. And Brennan's happiness when Parker said she was cool? I wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"So, I believe you and Hannah are friends now." Booth smiled at his son as they drove back to Rebecca's house in the end of the weekend. It'd been the first weekend the three of them spent together and his boy seemed to be getting along pretty well with his girlfriend, for which he was thankful for, given Parker's previous reluctance about meeting her.

"Yeah, she's nice." Parker agreed with a shrug.

"See? I hope you learnt that it's not right to judge someone before you meet them." Booth glanced at him. Then curiosity won him over. "Why did you tell me you hated Hannah when you've never met her?"

Parker avoided his father's face and played with the zipper of his backpack.

"Because I wanted Bones to be your girlfriend." The boy admitted, not meeting his father's eyes.

Booth clenched his fingers at the steering wheel and kept his eyes on the road.

"And why's that?" He gulped.

Parker snorted.

"Because Bones is so cool and I love when we spend time with her. And since you started dating Hannah, we've never gone out together anymore." Parker whined. "And if you weren't dating Hannah anymore, you could start dating Bones again and things would go back to normal."

"I- I've never dated Bones." Booth gasped. Why would Parker think something like that?

"You didn't?" Parker turned his face to look at his father. "But we always went everywhere together, and we went to her pool, and she helped me with my homework." Parker creased his forehead thoughtfully. "That's what Madeline, that's Jonathan's step-mother, does with him. That's because she's a nice step-mother, differently from Lorraine, Nicole's step-mother, who is a b-i-a-t-c-h." He grimaced.

"Parker!"

"Sorry, dad, but that's what Nicole's mom said, and Nicole says she's really mean. Once Lorraine got the sunglasses her Mom have her for Christmas when Nicole wasn't there at her father's house in the weekend, and then Nicole could never use the glasses again because they got too loose." Parker explained. "Besides, you always looked all lovey-dovey at Bones, and then you two smiled at each other and you got your cheeks pink."

"My cheeks do not get pink." Booth snorted.

"They did when Bones smiled at you. It doesn't get with Hannah, but they did with Bones." Parker said matter-of-factly. "I saw that, Dad, with my very own eyes, and the doctor said I have perfectly good sight." He added proudly. "You two looked at each other like those people in Mom's stupid movies."

"We didn't-" He shook his head like his son was speaking non-sense.

"Dad, why did you break up with Bones?" The boy cut him off and asked curiously. "Don't you love her? Did she do something bad?" He asked carefully.

"We never broke up because we never even got together." Booth said with less patience than he intended.

"She looked sad that day at the diner." Parker commented ignoring his father's words. "Can you take me to the lab next week so she can help me with my science homework? She says she doesn't mind and if Ben thinks he can win the science project with his father's help, I want to see his face when I show the project Bones' will help me with."

"Parker…"

"Because Bones is the smartest person in the world, right?" Parker smirked.

"Yeah, she's pretty smart." Booth had to agree. And then something hit him and he chuckled. "Although she'd tell you that even though she's very intelligent, it is impossible to know that, since you obviously do not know every person in the world and, therefore, you can't measure their intelligence."

Parker chuckled too. "She totally would."

They sat in silent for a while, when Parker spoke again.

"Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Why doesn't she have kids?"

"Bones?" Booth swallowed. The thought of her request a couple of years before came to his mind. Had she gone with the process of fertilization, their baby would be about one and a half year old now. His heart sank. How could you grief and miss something you'd never had? He pushed the thought of an adorable blue-eyed baby away.

The boy nodded.

"I don't know, Parks." He said. She'd never brought the subject of having a kid up again. He just concluded she had quit the idea.

"I think she'd be a great mom." Parker said. "I mean, since she knows everything and stuff. And she's always very patient while explaining things to me."

"Yes, she would." Booth smiled.

"And she's very pretty. Also, she is so cool and can do a cannonball better than anyone else!" Parker raised one eyebrow as he remembered. "She better explain to me how she can spill so much water when she hits the pool. She said it's about physics and weight and strength, but I didn't understand."

"Looks like someone has a crush on my partner…" Booth teased, a smile playing on his face. It was cute seeing how much his son loved Brennan. He remembered his first crush ever was on his English teacher, and although he didn't like school that much, he'd always behave his best at her classes.

"What?" Parker chocked in shock. "No! Ew, Dad! She's old."

"Bones is not old."

"Yeah, not for you. I wish she could be my step-mother." He said.

"And Hannah?" Booth threw the bait. "Would you like her to be your step-mother?"

Parker's eyes doubled the size. "You're marrying her?"

"No- I mean, not yet… but… would you be sad if I did?"

"Hannah is nice, Dad." Parker said in a low tone. "But I don't know if I want her to be my step-mother." He admitted. "She didn't know much about the animals when we went to the zoo and she doesn't want to have kids. Besides, she doesn't even have a pool."

"She doesn't want kids?" Booth asked surprised. "How do you know that?"

"'Cause she told me." He shrugged. "She told me she doesn't want to have kids, but if one day she does, she'll adopt, because there are already too many children in the world."

"Well… that's a nice thing." Booth commented. But although he'd already thought about adopting, he couldn't help wishing to have another biological child. He wanted to be able to participate in the whole pregnancy process, sonograms, doctor's appointment, something he was never able to do when Rebecca was pregnant.

"Yes, but dad, I still want a little brother or sister…" Parker pouted. "I'm almost ten, and Mom says she doesn't want more kids because I'm enough for her. And Hannah does not want them. She says if she has children, she'll adopt. If. That means 'never' in grownups speech. Can't you ask Bones?"

"What?" Booth gasped.

"Well, she's pretty lonely and she's cool and smart. I think she'd like a baby. And then I could have a little brother or sister, she wouldn't be lonely anymore and you could be with Hannah and not have babies, because Bones would already have my brother or sister." Parker said like it was the simplest solution.

"Parker, I'd never leave Bones alone when she had my baby." He said seriously. "And I don't think Hannah would like this idea very much."

"Then break up with Hannah and get together again with Bones and give me a little brother and sister." Parker suggest gleefully. "And Hannah can still be our friend. She says she's Bones' friend and she's also my friend and I think she likes you too."

"Parker, I can't break up with Hannah and start dating Bones."

"Why not?"

"Because… there are feelings involved there…"

"Don't you love Bones?"

"Yes, but-"

"Then you can do that, Dad. Hannah is nice, she'll understand." Parker said without a hint of a doubt.

"Parker-"

"We're here!" He screamed when he saw the front of his house. "Mom is making pizza tonight."

"Sounds good." Booth grinned, happy with the change of the subject. "I'll pick you up next week, bub. Thanks for the great weekend." He bumped his fist with Parker's.

"It was fun." Parker nodded and hopped out of the car after hugging his father. "Oh, Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Those guys who look at the girls and blush in mom's stupid movies? They always end up with the girl in the end, even if they have a girlfriend in the middle of the movie."
