Booth finished loading the dish washer just in time for Piper to finally speak.

"I have to potty." Her voice was a whisper, booth didn't expect her to be talking loud after all she had been out through.

"Okay, I'll take you to your.." He didn't know what the little girl called bones. "I'll take you to the bathroom."

The little girl nodded, Booth walked over to the shy girl and reached his arms out, hoping she would accept. Gladly she did, it sent a smile across Booths scruffy face.

He made his way towards Brennans room and knocked. No answer. He called her name

"Bones you in there?" no reply. He jiggled the door handle and it was unlocked. he was debating weather he should enter or not, but the look on the child face told him it was urgent.

He opened the door a little and peaked his head in. "Bones?" he called out again. No reply. He stepped a little further into her room. Walking around the room absolutely clueless of where she could be. Then he heard the shower click off.

He was hesitant, should he leave the room? Should he wait until she comes out? His train of thought was interrupted when Brennan walked out if the steamy shower with only her towel covering most of her body. She looked up and her body rushed with the emotion of complete shock.

"BOOTH, what are you doing in here?" she half screamed. Booth slapped his free hand over his eyes making a loud popping noise, the little girl laughter filled the room, soon joined by Brennan's laugh too.

"Booth, it's okay. I'm covered up, what do you need?" he spread his fingers just enough to see the natural makeup free face of the beautiful brunette he happily called bones.

"Uh Piper, she had to pee. I think." He kept his hand over his eyes and let the little girl be released on the floor.

Piper walked over and wrapped her arm around her foster moms bare leg. "I have to pee. It's bad."

Brennan smiled at the child and grabbed her hand leading her to the bathroom. "We will be right back. Then I'll leave you to have a shower if you want." He heard the bathroom door close then removed his hand. He sighed, his smile was large and he couldn't bring himself to leave the room. The toilet flushed and a very pleased Piper was released.

"I feels a lot better." the little girl ran and jumped on the bed, making the muscular man giggle. This foster place was different from the rest, the people here really loved her being her and she hadn't got abused yet. She thought this was a nice place. Brennan entered the room after a couple of minutes, her hair was damp but she had changed her clothes into a NYC athletic apt hoodie, even though she didn't live anywhere close to New York she still adored the city's. Her blue jean pants hugged her small thighs with ease, she was in her comfortable mood and booth loved her like this.

"Hey bones, imma have to grab a shower, can you lay out those clothes you where talking about, please?" She smiled at his polite manners.

"Of course. I'll take Pipers clothes and change her and be out of your way. Oh I'll lay your clothes on the chair by the bathroom door." He smiled and gave her a small nod

"Thanks bones."

Booth took his shower as Piper got ready. Today her outfit was similar to Brennan's, sweat pants and a hoodie was the comfort cloths of choice today. They had settled the car seat in the back of the car, and placed a very hipper Piper in it. They arrived at the local hardware store and hopped out, Brennan grabbed Piper and smiled.

"Come on baby let's go pick out a color." she kissed the crown of the child's smooth forehead. Pipers smile could be seen from miles away. The little girl was being treated like royalty compared to all the other homes she had been too.

They quickly got in and out of the hardware store with a turquoise paint for Pipers new room. Brennan and Booth had fun in the store unlike most grown adults. They pushed Piper in the buggy together for the longest time, eventually Brennan was leaned against Booths torso hanging on for dear life to the buggy as booth pushed it down different isles. They got odd stares from other people around, Pipers giggles filled the store with the random 'booth' when he surprised Brennan with different attacks.

They where now dragging the bags into Brennan's apartment. They had decided they would paint the room then head out for a late lunch before booth left back to his apartment.

Piper had been told to be very care and not spill the paint every where which she did, twice. She didn't get in trouble and surprisingly she didnt cry when she made the paint tip over. Instead booth took her little fail body and dipped her feet in the paint and stuck it to the freshly sand down white walls. Brennan took her phone out, getting paint of her clothes in the process and snapped a few pictures of the two enjoying the painting party.

When the room was done the three went down to a cafe Brennan and booth where quite familiar with.

"Hey Piper, baby what do you want to eat?" Brennan said while flipping through the menu to the kids part. She had only been in this section once only to order for Parks. She was unfamiliar with the menu so she kept her attention on her menu while Piper colored the paper the lady had gave her. Booths mind was to absorbed with the game playing behind him to even pay attention to the conversation the two was having, he cared but he really want to see who won.

"Humm, surpise me momma." Pipers sweet voice rang like thunder in Brennan's ears. The anthropologists head shot up from behind her menu to look at her foster daughter. Booths attention was earned as the small child sitting beside him said the word 'momma'.

"Piper?" Brennan's voice was in a faint whisper "do you way me to be your mom sweety?" Brennan's whisper still stood and booth watched the conversation unfold between the foster mother of the foster child.

The little girls head bobbled as she nodded, her eyes not leaving the paper she was drawing on. Brennan's eyes wondered from Piper straight to Booth.

"Booth, did you- did you hear that? she want me to be her mom." the tears where starting to show there salty bodies as the happiness built up in her body.

"Yes, I heard everything! That's great bones!" he looked to the little girl and smiled. His partners wish was beginning to happen right before his eyes. Sadly enough the evening was coming to a end. There late lunch arrived shortly after being ordered and they enjoyed the happiness that still surrounded the table. Booth had gone back to a half empty apartment. He hadn't noticed how much of his apartment was taken up with Hanna's stuf- excuse me crap. He trotted off to bed with a smile spread across his face, the exact smile of the anthropologist, Piper had to sleep in the room with her mom again tonight. Brennan didn't mind she really loved cuddling with the three year old. She enjoyed the warmth of the three year old and thought the only way the evening in bed could be better, was if Booth was with then, cuddling as one.
