Thank you all for the reviews, alerts and favorites. I really appreciate it.
Here's the next one shot in this collection. Hope you enjoy it.
"I have Parker this weekend," Booth told her as they were driving to work that morning.
"Okay," Brennan replied. "You can drop me off at my apartment after work today. Or I can call a cab if you're picking him up."
"What? Why?" Booth was shocked as they haven't spent a night apart since she told him she was pregnant.
"Because you have Parker for the weekend," Brennan told him. She was confused because he was the one that told her that in the first place. "I don't want to intrude on your family time," she explained further.
"You're not intruding, Bones," Booth told her. "You, Parker and our baby are my family. Besides, I want to tell him about us and the baby this weekend."
"This weekend?" It was Brennan's turn to be shocked. She knew that Booth would have to tell his son about them sometime but she didn't expect it to be this soon. And although Parker often told her that she was awesome, she wasn't sure what he will think of her as his father's new girlfriend.
"Don't worry, Bones," Booth assured her, already knowing what she was afraid of. "Parker loves you. He thinks you're the smartest person there is. You don't have anything to worry about."
"What if he doesn't want me as your girlfriend?" Brennan asked, still uncertain. She didn't want to come between Booth and his son.
"Are you kidding? He has been asking me if you were my girlfriend for a couple of months now. And when I say no, he asks me why and tells me that you're the coolest girl he knows."
"Really?" Brennan asked, surprised and pleased. She didn't know Parker felt that way about her.
"Yes, really. So you don't have a reason to be worried," Booth reassured her.
"Okay." Brennan replied. They were quiet for a while before she thought of something. "Booth?"
"Yeah?" he asked, uncertain on what was on her mind now.
"Parker's a very curious child right?"
"Yeah, he is. He told me that he wants to be as smart as you. Why do you ask?"
Brennan was so pleased at what Booth told her that she forgot to answer him until he asked her again. "What will you tell him if he asks about babies?"
"What do you mean?"
"If he asks about how babies are made or about giving birth, what will you tell him?" Brennan clarified.
"Uh," Booth was unprepared for the question and it was making him uncomfortable. He could feel his face getting hot. "I don't know yet. But I'll probably tell him what parents normally tell their kids when they are Parker's age." He paused when he noticed Brennan looking at him with a horrified expression on her face. "What?" he asked, not sure what's so horrifying about what he said.
"Please tell me that you're not going to tell him that a stork will bring the baby to us!"
P.S. This will be my last post for a while. I'm going to go to a place where there's no internet connection so I won't be able to post. I will try to think up of other one shots to add to this collection though so that when I get back, I will be able to post them. So if you have any suggestions/comments, feel free to leave a feedback.
