Parker sat in the back seat of his mother's car. The five year old boy played on his game system paying no attention to his mother and her boyfriend's conversation.

"Drew, I can't handle two kids. Especially not with you're drinking." Rebecca tried not to shout but Parker had his headphones in for Super Mario so he wouldn't be able to hear her anyway.

"I told you, I've stopped and I'm going to the meetings. But you won't have to raise two kids if you just drop him off at your ex. The kids gets more like him everyday." Drew snarled, not making a compliment.

"That's my son you're talking about." Rebecca was getting irritated.

"I'm not saying he's a bad kid. But the boy needs his father, he loves his dad and hates me. How do you think he's going to react when you tell him, the one exception will be happy." Drew made a point.

"Seeley just got out of surgery, he's not going to take full custody of Parker right away." Rebecca protested.

"He'll do what's best for Parker. And I'm sure he wants full custody anyways." Drew made another point.

Rebecca took a look in her mirror back at her son. He looked up and smiled at her, the smile of Booth. Then when his gaze moved over to Drew, it disappeared and Rebecca realized Drew was right.

Bren sat over next to her best friend on the couch. Hodgins passed Cam and Sweets each a drink then sat next to his girlfriend.

"So what's with the intervention guys?" Bren said, taking a bottle of water.

Angela rubbed the knee of her best friend. "It's not an intervention sweetie."

Sweets nods. "Angela's right. As you friends, we're just concerned for your well being. That's all."

"Well being? Do I seem ill?" Bren asked.

"No, not at all Dr.B, it's just since Booth's surgery you don't seem to talk about him much. And we don't see him around, we hope there's not something you two are holding out on us." Hodgins added.

"Booth is on disability that is all. I felt it was best for Booth to become healthier without me around to distract him. Don't we all agree he should get better?" Bren asked.

"But Dr. Brennan, if you aren't around to help him, I think Booth is worrying about you." Cam added.

"What makes you say that?" Bren asked.

"He called me this morning. Asked me if you had come into work lately and when I said of course, he got all sad puppy toned on me." Cam leaned over the arm of Sweets' chair.

"Booth needs to know why you are upset with him, so he can get better." Sweets added.

"I'm not upset with Booth." Bren got up and went back to her office. Angela followed her and sat down. Bren had gotten a bit teary eyed.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Angela asked confronting her best friend.

"When Booth woke up in the hospital, he didn't know who I was and it hurt. That night I was crying in my apartment and I don't know why I did it but I reached out for him, and he wasn't there. And I just don't know why I am really upset Angela, I just don't." Bren placed her head in her hands.

"I know why, you love him." Angela almost wanted to smile because she's been waiting for 4 years for Brennan to admit this, and here she was, but she needed to comfort her.

"Ange, Booth-" Bren was cut off by her best friend.

"Don't you dare missy. You have one hunk of FBI waiting for you to do your nurturing Brennan thing on him. I mean that means at least he likes you. So get your scientist ass over there and talk to your man, cause this is getting ridiculous." Angela stood up and walked away leaving Brennan to her thoughts.

Both shocked at Angela's bluntness, and distraught over what to do about Booth she went home.

Parker sat in the car with his suitcase next to him. Still confused when his Mom said he was going to live with his Dad, he kept bugging Drew for answers.

"Are you and Mommy fighting?" The curious five year old asked.

"No." Drew said getting annoyed.

"Is Mommy moving?" Parker asked.

"No." Drew responded.

"Is Mommy-" Parker was interrupted by Drew stopping the car in front of his father's apartment building. His mother had not come with them.

"Listen kid, you're going to live with your Dad, okay. You like your Dad. You don't like me. Your Mommy wants you to be happy." Drew said, irritated at the young boy.

"I don't like you very much." Parker hung his head low.

Drew pulled out the phone from his pocket and dialed Rebecca's number. "Yeah, hey we're here did you get ahold of Seeley yet?"

"No. I left him a voicemail, you want to go up with him?" Rebecca asked over the phone.

Drew turned towards the backseat. "Kid you know where your dad lives right?"

Parker nodded and Drew got out of the car. "I'm on my way home."

Drew opened the door for Parker and he got out, Drew took his suitcase and dropped it on the ground next to him. Placing his hands on Parker's shoulder, as Parker squirmed, Drew looked into his eyes.

"You be a good kid for your dad. We'll bring the rest of your stuff over later." With that Drew got in the car and left, with the small young boy standing on the street.

Listening to the sound of an ice cream medley, he looked over at the park across the street and Parker felt his pockets for the 3 five dollar bills Drew gave him.

Looking before he crossed the street, as his dad taught him, he ran over to the cart and got himself a small chocolate cone.

Watching the little boy, 15 year old Ashley, quickly remembered him from her father's apartment building. He was Dr. Brennan's son. Curious as to what he was doing on this part of town, she walked over. Also noticing the boy, was Reed Justin, a local criminal. Who knew the boy was Parker Booth, son of Seeley Booth the FBI guy that put his buddy away. He had reached the boy first.

Parker felt a firm hand on his back, and turned around looking up at the very tall man. He got a bit scared as the man smiled. "Hey Parker, I'm a friend of your dad's."

"No you're not. I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." Parker said firmly, walking away.

Reed laughed at the boy's ignorance, grabbing his backpack. "Funny, come with me."

"Let go." Parker cried out, dropping his ice cream as Ashley approached from behind.

She tapped the man's shoulder causing him to turn. He looked at her in confusion as Parker recognized her. She was Dr. Bones' neighbor Ashley.

"Hi, thanks for grabbing my little brother he runs off all the time." Ashley lied through her teeth.

"Oh, is this your big sister little guy?" Reed looked down to Parker, knowing Booth did not have any other kids.

Parker pulled away from the man and ran to Ashley and she picked him. Smiling she said to Reed who was clearly up to no good. "Thank you so much for keeping him safe."

Reed smiled, "Maybe I should take you guys home, talk to your dad?"

"That won't be necessary. Say bye Parker." Ashley said taking the backpack from him.

Parker stuck his tongue out as Ashley carried him back over to the ice cream stand, purchasing a cookie dough for herself and another chocolate for Parker. Walking with her in the direction away from his father's apartment, Parker stopped to ask a question.

"Where are we going?' Parker asked.

"Well, doesn't get out of work until 9, so to the Jeffersonian, of course." Ashley had interned at the daycare there.

"Oh Yay! Bones." Parker clapped.

Ashley held his hand crossing the street as they entered she stopped him. "Why do you call your Mom, Bones?"

Parker thought for a minute, having Dr. Bones as his mother. He liked the fact. She spent more time with him than his own mommy. He smiled at Ashley. "Because that's what Daddy calls her."

Parker skipped ahead towards the offices as Ashley hurried to catch up. "Well then."

Ashley walked into Mrs. Montenegro's office, with Parker behind her. Angela stood up. "Ashley what can I do for you?"

"Well Mrs. Montenegro, I'm looking for Dr. Brennan actually." Ashley said.

"Sorry, honey she went home early." Angela said.

Ashley turned to the little boy behind her. "Come on Parker. Thanks again."

Angela nodded not quite hearing what she said before, but then caught it. Baby Booth?
