A/N: Ok so, here's the camping trip, so many of you wanted. I'm not Hart Hanson so I won't deny you.

Three in the Bed and the Little One Said...

"DAD! Come on..."

Booth rolled his eyes at his son's eagerness to leave the apartment. It was six am on Saturday Morning and school holidays had officially started and apparently so had the camping trip.

Parker Booth had been awake since five am, he stayed in bed as long as he could and it was a really long... ten minutes. He showered and got himself dressed and contemplated what to make for breakfast and then it struck him. How better to start this family camping trip than with breakfast, at the diner, with Bones. He smiled and ran down the hallway to his father's bedroom.

Seeley Booth was face down on his bed, breathing deeply and soundly. That is until he felt it; that distinct feeling that he was being watched. Opening one eye he groaned. His twelve year old son stood before him, dressed and bouncing on the balls of his feet, his little brown eyes boring into his father's, an expectant grin plastered on his face.

Booth eyed the digital clock on the bedside and groaned again.

"Parker... it's six o'clock."

Parker raised his eyebrows in a 'so what' expression.

"Dad, I got the best idea..."

He jumped up onto the bed next to his sleepy father, who was becoming more awake with every jab of his son's knee in his side.

"Let's get Bones extra early and we can all go to the diner for breakfast and then... go camping."

Booth had to stifle his laugh. Parker had been so excited since his father and Bones had become an item. He asked about her constantly, continually tried to think of new ways to visit her and involve her in his weekends with his dad, he hugged her, held her hand and kissed her every chance he got and never let an opportunity to talk to her pass. To Brennan's credit she had taken it all in her stride, she was patient and loving toward him, she was encouraging and affectionate and above all she ensured he was comfortable and happy with her being around.

"Buddy, I think we should let Bones sleep, don't you?"

Parker gave the puppy eyes, effectively telling his dad, he thought letting her sleep was a terrible idea.

"She can sleep in the car dad, come on, plea...se."

Booth grinned, thinking the likelihood of his girlfriend being able to sleep in the car was slim, especially with a twelve year old Parker talking her ear off.

"Dad... come on, I can have pancakes and she can have her icky bagel and half your pancakes..."

Booth chuckled.

"Parker, let's give it until seven, then we can call her huh?"

Parker knew he would have to compromise and nodded in defeat.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Temperance Brennan rolled over and groaned at the sound of her cell. Oh please no case, please no case seeing the name display was Booth, she frowned.

"Booth?"

"Bones its Parker."

Brennan looked to her clock.

"Parker, is your dad ok?"

Parker smiled, she was always so worried about his dad.

"Ah huh, did I wake you up Bones?"

Brennan hated lying but she knew he would feel bad for interrupting her sleep.

"No, I was awake baby, what's wrong?"

Parker loved it when Bones called him baby, it made him feel special. When he'd turned ten his mom had stopped calling him all the special names she used to, his grandma had told his mom, he was big boy now and she should treat him as such. She still called him sweetie every now and then but that was it. He didn't lack on the pet name front though. His dad still called him bub and pal and buddy, Angela called him baby Booth and sweetie, he got sport form Jack and squirt from Cam, the list went on but his favourite, was Bones calling him baby.

"I wanted to call you earlier but dad said I had to wait till seven, so you could sleep a bit..."

Brennan smiled; Booth was always looking out for her.

"But I wanted to make sure you didn't eat breakfast."

In the background Tempe could hear Booths voice. 'How about you ask her, if she wants to have breakfast with us Parks, don't just assume'

"Bones, will you have breakfast with dad and me at the diner, we can pick you up early and then we can all go camping."

Brennan smiled; bringing her cell back in contact with her ear after Parker's voice had quietened again.

"I think that's a great idea Parker, could I speak to your father please?"

"K, I'll see you later Bones, I love you."

She smiled. Parker had been telling her he loved her for some time now but for some reason it felt different now that she and Booth were in a relationship.

"I love you too baby. I'll see you soon."

She heard the phone being passed over and parker's excited voice 'she said yes dad, she said yes' She laughed hearing his footsteps run off down the hall and then her partner's voice.

"Morning beautiful"

She smiled.

"How can you possibly say I'm beautiful, you haven't seen me this morning?"

Booth flared his eyes to the universe.

"Basic reasoning and logic."

"Huh?"

"I've never seen you anything but beautiful, therefore I reason that you always look stunning and until I'm given evidence, to contradict that belief, I'll assume that you are as we speak beautiful, it's all down to experience Bones. So, let's try again. Good morning beautiful."

She smiled, suitably impressed by his argument.

"Good morning Booth... so I hear we're going to the diner for breakfast?"

Booth felt bad, he could tell by her soft voice that she had been sleeping.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about the early wake up; I tried to hold him off longer."

She could hear his guilt surface at her being woken up. Her first thought was-like father, like son.

"Its fine Booth, he's happy and I would have been waking up soon any way."

Booth smiled, he found it amazing the way she always trivialised her own needs for the sake of his son.

"Are you sure you're ok with breakfast?"

Tempe rolled her eyes at his concern.

"Yes Booth, what time shall I expect you?"

Booth looked to his clock again; seven fifteen.

"Ahh say eight...ish, I gotta pack the truck so..."

Booth was normally a very punctual man but add a hyperactive child and a week's worth of camping gear to pack, he may take longer than anticipated.

"Ok, I'll wait out front for you."

Booth smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Bones, I'll call you as we're leaving."

She nodded already thinking about her own bag that she was yet to pack.

"Very well, see you soon Seeley."

Booth grinned at the dial tone; he loved the way his first name just rolled off her tongue, so seductively.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

The black SUV pulled up to the curb, the instant it had come to a standstill the back door flew open and a blur of blond curls ran toward the waiting anthropologist.

"BONES!"

She laughed seeing her boyfriend's son hurtling forward, she grunted as he slammed into her, acting as though he hadn't seen her for weeks, when in actual fact she'd spent the afternoon and evening with him the night before last.

"Good morning Parker."

She hugged him tightly, enjoying the warm feeling in her chest that took over her body whenever she was in a Booths presence. Seeley walked up to his son and girlfriend, a huge smile in place. He rolled his eyes at his silent description of the morning he's had. She smiled. Parker's cheery voice sounded.

"Come on dad, hurry up and smooch her, so we can go get breakfast, I'm starving..."

Booth chuckled and gently pushed his son away by palming his forehead playfully, Parker swatted his dad's hand, laughing as he ran back to the truck and climbed in.

Booth saw the faint blush creep up his Bones neck and cheeks; she was adorable when embarrassed. He held his arms out and she stepped into his embrace, their lips instantly connecting briefly, before releasing and then reattaching again. When oxygen became paramount, they broke.

"Oh, I've missed you babe."

She grinned at his groan.

"You saw me yesterday."

He smiled and flared his eyes at her.

"I know... see how addictive you've become... God I can't get enough of you."

He playfully tilted his head and grazed his teeth across her neck; growling and making her giggle and push at him. Booth stood up straight and smiled, her eyes were shinning and her expression happy. They had been a couple for just over five weeks, and despite spending just about every day together and the majority of evenings, they were yet to spend the night together unless they fell asleep on the couch. Booth had made the decision to wait with regards to making love to her, he wanted them to explore their new relationship and make sure they going somewhere before crossing that final line.

"You hungry Bones?"

She nodded.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I am, so you better feed me"

Booth laughed at her playfulness and picked up her bag from the ground, smiling as she kissed his cheek and walked to the car.

Breakfast was uneventful, they chatted about the four hour car trip to Forest Hills National Park and Booth laid down the rules to Parker.

"So no wandering off by yourself Parks, I don't want you lost out there, you stay close to camp and shoes on your feet unless you're sleeping got it?"

Parker smiled, he was excited and no amount of rules could bring him down.

"Are we gunna all share the same tent dad?"

Booth smiled, he and Tempe had discussed sleeping arrangements and she was fine with sharing.

"Yes Parker, we're all in the one tent, so that means what buddy..."

Parker rolled his eyes in a very Brennan like fashion, which Booth caught.

"That when you or Bones is sleeping and I'm not, I've gotta be considerate and be quiet."

Booth smiled and turned to Brennan.

"Did you see that eye roll, did you?"

She smiled at his grin.

"I'm blaming you for that, that's your eye roll, you taught him that, before you... I'm not even sure he knew what an eye roll was, now..."

Parker laughed as Bones caught Booth's pointing finger and bit it gently, a playful glint in her eye. Booth snatched back his finger and looked up at the ceiling.

"Oh give me strength."

Brennan and Parker both laughed at Booth's plea and gave each other a conspiratorial smile.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Booth sighed and leaned his head against the driver's side window. He couldn't help but smile despite his growing headache. Parker and Bones had seen fit to play, the loudest and most excited game of eye spy he had ever witnessed.

"Oh, oh I know Bones. I spy with my little eye, something beginning with 'E'..."

Tempe looked around the car frantically, she was so happy, she hadn't played this game since she was child and it had surprised her how much contentment came, with engaging in such a pointless exercise.

"Umm... earphones?"

She shouted seeing the blue ear buds on his lap.

"No! Guess again."

She continued her search.

"Eyes?"

Parker shook his head with a huge grin.

"Guess again."

"Umm, I don't know Parker, gimme a hint."

"One clue Bones?"

He looked to her sceptically. She nodded.

"Alright... We all have one..."

Brennan frowned.

"Parker that's a very vague clue."

He raised his eye brows playfully. She looked around the car again before shrugging her shoulders.

"I give up Parker, plea... se tell me."

Booth laughed at his girlfriends whine.

"Are you sure Bones?"

She turned in her seat; her eyes flitted across the mountains of supplies in the back one last time and then back to Parker.

"Yes I give up."

Parker grinned brightly and reached out, snatching her hand off the side of the seat.

"Epidermis Bones!"

He kissed the top of her hand noisily. Booth rolled his eyes, thinking of the days when eye spy, meant spying things like a hat or a shoe. His thoughts were forgotten though, at the sound of her adorable laugh.

"Well done Parker"

The young boy blushed at the praise she gave him.

"Thanks Bones, I really thought you'd get it."

Their game continued and somehow Booth managed to tune them out until he noticed nothing but silence. Looking to his right he chuckled. His beautiful girlfriend was sound asleep, head resting precariously on the side of the headrest, rocking gently with the movement of the car. He smiled at the way she was currently clutching his jacket, holding it close to her body. Booth glanced up in the rear view mirror; his son was out of sight. Booth flashed a look to the road seeing it clear her turned a little and noted his son had fallen to his side in sleep, his body resting against his partners back pack, he shook his head amusedly, seeing his son clutching the red jacket that Tempe had been wearing earlier, it amazed him how alike they were and warmed him to the core.

Booth pulled onto the dirt track that led to Forest Hills National Park. One of his companions woke with the bumpy ride. Booth looked into the mirror raising his finger to his lips in a hushing motion. Parker smiled and nodded.

"Are we nearly there dad?"
Parker's voice whispered through the cabin.

"Yeah buddy, did you have a good sleep?"

Parker nodded, still holding Brennan's jacket.

"I slept on Bones jacket... dad how come Bones always smells like vanilla?"

Booth smiled, he had been aware of his partner's scent for years, it didn't seem to matter where they were or what they had been doing, no matter the time of day or night, she smelled the same, even knee deep in human goop, she smelled like warm sweet vanilla.

"I dunno bub, she just does."

Parker brought her jacket to his nose and inhaled.

"She smells nice, I wish mom smelled like vanilla, but she stinks of flowers."

Booth chuckled

"That's your mom's perfume Park."

His head tilted to the side in thought.

"It's still stinks."

Booth pulled the car into a small clearing and looked around. It was close enough to the shower and toilet block but at a good distance from the other campers in the area.

"Whatta ya reckon buddy, this look good?"

Parker nodded.

"Can we wake Bones now?"

Booth cut the engine, undid his seat belt and turned to face his son.

"Nicely Parks, wake her nicely."

Parker nodded and undid his seat belt quietly, he watched his dad open the door and slide out. The twelve year old turned back to the woman in the front seat, he smiled. Leaning forward Parker whispered in her ear.
