The Love Deep Within

Superman

"So how's school?" Booth asked Parker at breakfast at the Diner the next day.
"It's cool. Dad? Are you gonna drop me to the daycare today?" Parker asked.
"Yes Bub. But if you want we can arrange something else. I could just ask Han—" Booth said thinking that his son dislikes going at the daycare.
"No dad. It's fine. I was just looking forward to meet someone that's it." Parker said happily.
"Who? Someone special?" Booth asked.
"Yes dad. You will see." Parker said happily.
But to Parker's dismay by the time his father arrived to pick him up for lunch Kate had already left with Brennan.
"Bye Parka! When I come back we will play again!" Kate had told him.
"By Parker. Have fun at lunch." Brennan had said hugging him. And then they both had left.
"Dad couldn't you come little early? You missed her?!" Parker said.
"Sorry Bub. How about I come early to take you home?" Booth said.

And so Booth did. Just to meet the little girl his son was so fond of.
Booth saw Parker sitting with a small girl and teaching her to count.
"One... Free...–" Kate was saying counting her crayons.
"Not three Kate. Two. And then three. One two three. Thr-ee." Parker showed Kate the numbers by counting on his fingers.
And Kate followed.
"One, two, th-ree" Kate said.
"Wow Kate you got it! You are a very good student." Parker said.
"Mommy says I have a much much step learn-ning cove." Kate told Parker happily.
Parker didn't understand what the two year old had said. But Booth did. He had heard those words too many times.
"What? I beg your pardon." Parker said.
Kate pouted her lips not understanding what Parker just told her.
"She is saying that she has a steep learning curve Parks. Which means she learns very fast." Booth said as he approached them.
"Dad!" Parker smiled at him.
"Kate this is my Dad I told you about." Parker said.
"You is Parka's Dada?" Kate asked wide eyed.
"Yes missy," Booth crouched down next to the little girl "I'm Booth. And you are?"
"I'm Kate." Kate said happily.
Parker had told her a lot about his father. The little girl had listened intently to Parker's each and every word. Because she too wanted to know how it feels having a father. Not that her mother was anything less than her world. But Kate was a curious little girl.
"Parka said that you is like supa-man is it true?" Kate asked.
Booth looked at Parker and smiled. He immediately understood that Parker must be trying to explain to Kate his job.
"Yes Kate. I put away the bad guys. Just like superman." Booth said smiling.
Kate's eyes became wide with an 'ohhh and ahhh' like she was witnessing a miracle.
"Dad can we all play just a little more time please?" Parker asked.
"Okay Bub but pack your bag first." Booth said and saw Parker walk away.
"Okay missy how about I give you a horse ride huh?" Booth asked Kate making funny baby faces.
Kate giggled at the funny faces and said, "You is silly. I is small to sit on a horsie. And there is no horsie here."
"No. I meant a horse ride on my back. Like a back ride." Booth explained the little girl who took him literally.
"Why is you not said that only then?" Kate asked tilting her head.
Booth felt a sharp sting in his chest. Damn this little girl reminded him of Brennan. She was just like a little Brennan. And he was allowed to talk to this one.
Booth smiled at the little girl. He had become really attached to her in just what? A few minutes!
"Come on up you go!" Booth said as he laid himself face down and Kate climbed on his back.
Booth started the horse ride slow at first and then moving his back crazily just to hear the little girl's laughter.
"Supa-man my horsie is mad!" Kate laughed.
"Dad!" Parker laughed as he came back to see Kate grabbed his father's hair to gain control of the horse.
After a round or two of the horse ride Booth stopped reluctantly because of his back pain.
"Ok missy horsie is tired now." Booth said.
"Dad can we go out and play on the slides?" Parker pointed to the playground just outside the daycare.
"Sure Bub. Lets go kids!"
