The Love Deep Within

Jealousy Breeds

"Hannah why are you upset?" Booth asked softly as he sat on the bed next to her.

"Booth I've had enough of your son telling me about Bones. The whole day I tried to be nice with him but for him everything is just Bones! Not only her but even for you!" Hannah said.

"Look Hannah there is nothing going on between me and Bones. We have not even talked in the past few weeks. But Parker. He looks up to her. And that's a good thing okay." Booth said taking her hand in his.

"How's that a good thing?" Hannah asked.

"Because I was never excellent academically nor was Rebecca. But Parker has become brilliant staying with Bones. He is so mannered and truthful. He has never lied to me before. And he cares about everything and everyone in his life including you." Booth said.

"He doesn't care about me!" Hannah said.

"He does! Like the other day when we were having breakfast he asked me if you would be joining or no!" Booth said.

Booth didn't tell her how happy Parker had been when he told Parker that Hannah was not coming for breakfast.

"You are right I'm just being stupid!" Hannah said.

"Okay I will be right back. I have to talk to Parker now." Booth said and walked away.

"Parker look Hannah she is trying to be your friend. You gotta let her do that." Booth said as he entered Parker's room.

"Dad I really like that but Bones has—" Parker said.

"Bub I'm sorry but call Bones right away." Booth said handing his cell to Parker and leaving the room with a nod.

Fifteen minutes later there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Hannah asked sleepily.

"I'll answer it." Booth said and opened the door.

It was Brennan. Booth felt like he is seeing her after ages. He searched her eyes but soon was gently pushed back as she entered the apartment and headed for Parker's room.

"Woah! Bones what the hell are you doing here?" Booth said a little harshly than he intended.

"I've come to talk to Parker. And you won't stop me." Brennan said.

"Bones wait! He is my son and I have the right to stop you. And why do you want to talk to him anyways!"

"Because he won't talk to anyone else." Brennan said.

Hearing noises Hannah came out in the drawing room and saw Brennan.

"Temperance it's a little late don't you think?" Hannah asked.

"I've come to talk to Parker. He was crying." Brennan said.

"Oh is it? I will talk to him. Right now he needs family." Hannah said rudely and all three of them went towards Parker's room.

It was locked.

"Parker. Open up." Hannah said. No reply. She tried again.

"Parks please open up. I'm here to listen to you." Hannah said. No answer.

Now Booth moved next to the door and tried.

"Bub please open the door." Booth said.

"Dad please can we talk tomorrow I'm not in the mood." Parker said.

"See Bones it's best if you leave him alone now." Booth said.

"Brennan ignored him and stepped next to the door.

"Parker. It's me." Brennan said.

"Bones?" Parker said as he opened the door to allow only her in.

After sometime Brennan came out of the door with Parker behind.

"Dad? Is it okay if I go out with Bones and Uncle Max day after tomorrow? On Sunday?" Parker asked Booth with hopeful eyes.

Booth gave Parker a gentle smile and nodded. Parker ran and hugged his father.

"Thanks dad. It really means a lot to me. I love you." Parker said.

Parker and Booth followed Brennan out to the door.

"Goodnight Parker. Sleep tight. K?" Brennan said as she kissed him on the forehead.

"Night Bones." Parker said and kissed her cheek.

Seeley Booth was never so jealous of his son.

"Night Bones." Booth said with a smile.

"Night Booth." Brennan smiled back and left.

Booth slowly closed the door. Not prepared to face Hannah.

"Seeley what the hell was that?" Hannah asked angrily.

"Nothing Hannah. I'm really tired can we talk later?" Booth said.

"No we are talking right now! It's either me or her!" Hannah said.

"Hannah we work together! And I can't say anything for Parker!" Booth said.

"Ok let's leave Parker out of this. And even your work. I'm asking about your personal life." Hannah said.

"I thought you liked her!" Booth said.

"Well now I don't." Hannah said.

After a long pause he finally said, "Hannah you are the only woman in my life. So I will choose only you."

"Promise?" Hannah said.

"Promise." Booth said.

Upset? I was. Please review.
