Ok so here is a second chapter for The Promise in the Girl, between reviews and pm's I got talked into doing a sequel which is ok because I love this idea. I'm thinking this chapter plus one more chapter will do it. I hope you like the way it is progressing. Enjoy.

Booth POV

He blew air out his mouth quickly twice trying to remove whatever it was that was tickling his nose but it wouldn't seem to budge. He didn't want to wake up. It was so warm in his bed and so soft. He tried snuggling back down into the bed when he realised what was so nice and warm and soft in his bed – Buffy. Opening his eyes slowly he looked down at his chest and in the early rays of the morning light he could see the blonde hair that was in total disarray but spread so nicely across his chest.

Last night was all coming back to him now. They had practically run back to his apartment. It had been a struggle to talk relaxedly with his sitter while paying her and trying hard not to rush her out the door. After a quick check on Parker they had barely made it to the bedroom before ripping each other's clothes off and all but devouring each other. What followed had been even more amazing than the night of either her seventeenth birthday or the forgotten day.

They were both more mature he recognised. It was strange to admit that while he may have been over two and half centuries in existence when he met Buffy he was a loner and had no idea how to walk in the shoes of a man, little-lone be in a full adult relationship. He was much more of a novice at relationships and friendships than Buffy had been. The time he had spent around humans both in Sunnydale and L.A. had helped him 'grow up' so to speak. To stop hiding from life and to deal with it and he was a much better man now for having known them all.

His time in L.A. had enabled him to be independent. In Sunnydale he had been either the Slayer's boyfriend, the Slayer's sidekick or, for a few regrettable months, the Slayer's foe but in L.A. he was had just been Angel, helping the helpless. He liked that his new life allowed him to work for the F.B.I. and still help those who needed someone to speak for them. Having paired up with Bones had added a new level to what he could achieve in his pursuit to 'catch the bad guys' only here, while they were all human some were more evil than most demons he had known.

Having her here in his arms, in his bed, back in his life, it felt like an absolution, that all the horrendous happenings and events that he had caused had somehow been pardoned. He would never forget everything he had done, or those they had lost in their fight for good, and he would always feel the guilt but he wasn't going to let it rule his life anymore. He had been handed a chance at a new life and he was going to appreciate every minute of it, Buffy was just the cream on top.

While he'd had beyond his share of sex as Angelus, he'd even had a fair amount as both Liam and Angel and even since he had been human he had not exactly been a monk but making love, well that was different. There was only one woman he had ever made love to and only one woman he had ever wanted to make love to and she was right now naked in his arms, in his bed, in his life. She was the only one he had ever bought home. God, how did he get so lucky?

He had done so many evil and depraved things in his long existence that he still sometimes couldn't believe how fortunate he was now. He had a terrific son, wonderful friends, and a fantastic job, now add to that an exceptional lover. Well he was not going to fuck it up this time. No leaving and no turning back time. This was their life and he intended to enjoy every minute of it.

That is not to say that it would be a smooth ride between him and Buffy. It hadn't been so far and he knew that they were both hot heads sometimes and both passionate when they believed they were right so he knew they would fight and disagree occasionally but that that was ok too because they loved each other. They were allowed different opinions as long as they respected each other and there was no one he respected more than Buffy.

Since becoming human he had tried had not to think about what he would do if she never came back to him. As optimistic as he tried to be, yes optimistic not something that as Angel he had ever allowed himself to be but the new and he liked to think improved Seeley Booth, wanted it all. He wanted Buffy beside him as his wife, lover and friend. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He wanted her in his son's life as a mother. He wanted maybe a dozen more kids if they were with her.

Thinking about Parker he realised his son would be up within the hour. He needed to talk to Buffy as there really had not been a great deal of conversation last night. He needed to make sure that she was here to stay. If not then well he didn't want Parker to find her here and get his hopes up. He might be willing to put his heart on the line for Buffy by jumping in last night before they had had time to discuss a future but he wasn't willing to let his son do that.

Plus they needed to shower and put some clothes on. Well now there's an idea, mmm naked Buffy in the shower, washing soap off her… wow up with that thought. There were things they had to do this morning oh and they had best pick up all their scattered clothing, change the sheets and air the room as it reeked of sex.

Looking back down at her still draped across his chest he realised she looked so peaceful and that he didn't want to wake her. She had a slight smile on her face and it boosted his ego to think it was because of the numerous incredible highs they both had achieved last night.

He knew he had better wake her up and soon seeing how lying here with her naked in his arms and alone with his thoughts he was starting to get aroused, though given the number of times they made love last night he was surprised his human body had the energy left to stir. Being this close to her had always awakened that part of his body. He suspected it wouldn't change in 20 or 30 years. God he loved the feel of her naked body snuggled up to him in bed. Waking up with her like this with no danger hanging over their heads, well it was more than a dream come true it was wonderful.

He ran his hand down her spine and back up whispering at her to wake up. She just twitched a bit but didn't wake. He tried again this time and she roused a bit more and tilted her head up towards him but her eyes weren't open yet. Telling her they needed to get up and shower, she cracked one eye half open and looked at him.

The slight smile that had adorned her face previously had now turned into a sexy smirk. Her eyes closed again as her hand ran from his chest, down over his flat stomach and down to his….

Grabbing her hand to stop her he let out a combination of a groan and a laugh. A groan because he so wanted to let her hand travel its designated path and a laugh at her avoidance of their need to get up.

Telling her again they needed to talk before Parker got up she rolled further onto her stomach and all but tried to burrow between his side and the bed and all he could see was her golden tresses. Knowing she was awake now but avoiding the idea of having to get out of the warm bed another laugh escaped him but he knew it was time to start the talk. It was a pretty big topic for this hour of the morning. Rolling to his side he used his other hand to now trace patterns up and down her gloriously naked back.

He took a deep breathe. He knew the question he had to ask and he was 99% sure of the answer she would give him but until he heard it from her lips he wouldn't, couldn't let himself believe it. Buffy wasn't likely to have shown up here in D.C. with a basket of cookies, none the less, if she wasn't intending on being a part of their lives but as a parent he needed to know.

So he bit the bullet and asked her, explaining his need for clarification and she quickly 'un-burrowed' herself from her cosy position and looked up at him with wide green eyes.

Leaning her hand up to cradle his stubble covered jaw she revealed to him, with no doubt in her heart that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She always had. She wanted to be with him and Parker, always and forever and she sealed the deal with a loving kiss. A kiss that held promise for a future they both wanted but had been too scared to dream of. This was their time.

Buffy POV

She couldn't believe he'd had to ask her was she staying after the night they had just had. She thought she had shown him in every touch and every kiss and every 'Oh God yes' what she wanted but she understood where he was coming from. As a parent he couldn't be self-indulgent anymore. He was responsible for another human and a child at that. If looking after Dawn had taught her anything it was that you had to consider how your actions would affect them before you could entertain ideas about what you wanted.

She explained and sympathised with him that under the circumstances of the last few years she could appreciate that she had been totally self-focused and had made him wait but she was ready now. God she was so ready now to make a life with them both.

The smile that she was graced with once it had finally sunk in that she really was here to stay could have just about blinded her. He never had been a big smiler in the past but the time she had known him as Seeley he was regularly seen wearing one and she had to admit it was a glorious sight. This smile though was all for her and it near broke her heart to know that he still had trouble believing that good things could happen to him.

He'd smiled that smile and told her how he had hoped she was going to say that. And then they had kissed again and again. Sealing their renewed relationship with a promise to each other, that this time, they would make it work.

Not that the kiss hadn't taken her breathe away by itself but what had come out his mouth next had literally done just that. She didn't think that it was possible to be any happier than she had been at that exact moment and then he had said the words that had just skyrocketed her level of happiness.

He had said "Ok so you need to know that our son gets up early so we need to be in the shower now."

At the 'our son' she had been in shock, not that she didn't want to be Parker's mom but that he thought of her in that role. That he believed in her enough to allow her to assume that position in his son's life. Maybe he wasn't the only one who still had trouble believing they deserved good things.

Before she could get too wrapped up in her thoughts on the matter he had rested his head forehead gently onto hers and told her that yes Parker was now 'their' son. He had known what she was thinking without her having to explain her combination of awe and apprehension at the prospect of being a mom.

Then to totally lighten the mood he had playfully slapped her on her naked behind and offered to race her to the shower. While they were supposed to be having a quick shower before tackling the jobs they had to do they couldn't help themselves and they had made love in the shower. Being able to touch him whenever she wanted was a little slice of heaven that she never thought would be hers again. She was not sure even heaven had been that good.

Booth POV

He should have known that showering with Buffy would have never been that quick. One look at her naked in his shower with the water travelling over her curves and he couldn't keep his hands to himself. Maybe starting his day that way every morning for the next 20, 30 or 40 years would be complete bliss.

Now that they were back in bed with clean clothes, he'd had to lend Buffy a t-shirt as last night's clothing didn't make for comfortable sleep wear, clean bedding and the windows open to let in the fresh morning air. He could hear D.C. traffic starting to move around. People on their way for weekend work, luckily he didn't have to do anything today but spend it with the two people he loved the most.

They hadn't even been back in bed 10 minutes when the bedroom door opened and in walked Parker rubbing his eyes and carrying his Paddington Bear, the bear that Buffy had bought him in London. He'd slept with it every night since they got back a year ago.

Parker walked over to his father's side of the bed and crawled up and snuggled into his father's shoulder much as Buffy had done less than an hour ago.

Buffy had lifted her head and looked at him, they both had realised that Parker had been too asleep still to notice Buffy snuggled up to his other side. They all had lain there quietly for about 10 more minutes till Parker slowly stirred and started to walk up. This was their father son ritual every morning unless he got an early 'murder' call out.

He looked down at his son's blonde hair and called to him to see how awake he was. Using the affectionate moniker 'bub' he asked his son to see who else is here. He watch us Parker slowly lifted his face up to look into his fathers and then looking over his chest he spotted Buffy. In that instant his face lit up with a smile to rival his fathers and he scrambled over his chest to launch himself into her arms.

He held onto Buffy and snuggled back into the bed between them. He was so excited to see her that he talked to her non-stop. He told her how he and Jade, his sitter, had watched Spiderman last night and how he had gotten new pyjama's that were Ben 10 last weekend because he had been good and ending each story with a "Didn't I dad?" or "Wasn't I dad?" to which he replied "Yeah Bub."

Eventually he stopped telling her stories and started to ask her questions, like did she fly on the big plane, did she get a colouring in book like he did when he flew with his dad and then the questioning turned to more personal items and he knew which one was coming up. He knew that his son wanted the answer to similar questions to what he had already asked her.

The next two questions were out his mouth in quick succession with no time to answer in between but like when Booth had talked to her they seemed to take her breathe away. He asked was she going to live here with him and his dad and was she going to be his mom. Maybe he had been spending too much time with Bones because he knew how to go straight to the heart of the matter and with no preamble dive right into the big questions.

It had taken her a minute to gather he thoughts, her eyes had darted from Parker to him and back again quickly and repeatedly but he had let her answer this herself. When she eventually asked him was that what he wanted and when he indicated yes by a very active head nod then she said she would love to be his mom. His son had turned to him and said "That good isn't it dad?" and he had not been able to answer due to the enormous lump that seemed to have taken up residence in his throat. All he could do was nod to indicate he concurred with them both and ruffle his son's mop of blonde hair.

Parker POV

He had had the best day. He had a mom now. His dad had taken them both shopping and then to the park. He couldn't wait till Kindy so he could tell that mean old Jimmy that was in his class that he had a mom now. Jimmy was always teasing him that he didn't have a mom so he wanted to get Buffy to take him to school so that he could show everyone his new mom. He hoped she would say yes.

Buffy POV

They had had the most amazing day. Seeley had informed her that Saturdays were for shopping and laundry. She had known he liked to be organised, he always had been very particular but this was bordering on slightly obsessive. Of course she didn't share that with him though he must have noted something in her facial expression because he had promised a picnic lunch at the park if they got all their jobs done early so she had playfully told them both to get out of bed so they could be done with work and bring on the frivolity of an afternoon at the park with her two boys.

They had accomplished a lot that morning, food shopping, laundry, picked up her luggage from the motel she had booked into the previous day. She was surprised at how much she enjoyed them being so domestic. Once all their jobs were completed they packed a basket, grabbed a blanket and football and were park bound. They had eaten and laughed and run around and in general just had fun like any other normal family.

Parker had called her mom whenever talking to her or calling out to her. She loved being near them no matter what they called her but hearing Parker call her mom and Seeley call her beloved had her heart at peace like it had never been before.

They had stayed at the park till it had started to cool off then packed up and headed home. Seeley had cooked them dinner and now they were all lounging on the couch while Parker was watching a movie about an animated red car. She had so much to learn about kids and what they liked so she asked a few question and he helped to try and up date her. He had crawled up onto her lap to watch the movie and she was loving the cuddles she was getting.

Looking at him over Parkers head she asked what the plan was for the following day. He said that they usually went to church mid-morning and then went out for lunch and that sometimes 'Bones' joined them. Apparently she didn't go to church with them as she didn't believe in God but quite often joined them for lunch afterwards.

She knew that he had gotten back into his religion, if that was the right turn of phrase, not being religious at all she didn't know, upon starting his new human life and she wasn't about to discourage him from finding some peace. Agreeing to go to church with them, she'd asked was 'Bones' going to join them, so right now he was calling her to ask. He had gone to grab his mobile out of the bedroom and as he came out he looked up and smiled at her while he spoke into the phone and the only part of the conversation she heard was him say, "Because there is someone I'd really like you to meet…Ok good we will meet you at the Diner at lunch time…Ok see you then."

Ok so Chapter 2 was reasonably easy to write but Chapter 3 Meeting the Squints, not so much. If I am going to write the next chapter, (only if you want me too) than I am going to need your help. I need you guys to send me how you think the squints will react/say/think at meeting Buffy or seeing Buffy with Parker and Booth. I need something for Angela, Hodgins, Wendell, Sweets, Cam and Bones of course. Thanks.

My other unfinished fic's are currently in the works still but as yet not finished.

I am trying I promise.
