Questions about Rebecca and Parker

So, I'm working on a pre-series multimedia fic/music project about Booth and Rebecca's relationship both before and after having Parker. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me remember a single canon fact about Rebecca besides the fact that her last name is Stinson. I know there's probably not been a lot said about her (she only actually appears in 2 episodes according to IMDb.com), but I'd like my fic to be as canonically accurate as possible.


So I've got some questions about both Rebecca and Parker.

1. Are we ever told where/when Booth and Rebecca met?
2. Where is she from? Do we know anything about her family or past?
3. How old is she, especially in relation to Booth? Yes, I know there's some question about Booth's age, but I'm more interested in the age difference between the two than their individual ages.
4. Any idea what she does for a living?
5. Do we know Parker's date of birth? I know he's seven and goes to public school and adores his daddy, but that's about it.
6. Where do Rebecca and Parker live? Maryland, Virginia, or D.C. itself?

I would love if anyone can give me canon answers. Of course I'll also welcome speculation and any generally accepted information from around the fandom. A million thanks in advance!

I hope these quotes help:

Brennan: Hey can I ask you something? Why did you say no?
Rebecca: Excuse me?
Brennan: When he asked you to marry him. He seems an ideal candidate, strong alpha male, good protective instincts.
Rebecca: And I should discuss this with you why?
Brennan: It’s just I don’t think he knows and I think it bothers him.
Rebecca: I’ve always taken care of myself to a fault sometimes and when we got pregnant Seeley proposed but I didn’t want to be one of those women who gets married out of need. So I said no.
Brennan: I can see that.
Rebecca: By the time that I realized that I’d made a mistake, that I’d still be the same person... I think there’s a moment for two people where they can either catch fire or... Seeley and I, we missed our moment. Do you understand?
Brennan: I’m trying but the single moment thesis doesn’t explain...
Rebecca: Why we still get together, fall together really, because I think that we just feel what used to be there, and we miss it.
Brennan: I think that Booth thinks you didn’t marry him because he wouldn’t make a good father.
Rebecca: What?
Brennan: He worries about it himself what he does for a living, his past as a sniper.
Rebecca: Oh God! Ah, do me a favor, um, don’t, don’t tell him I came by okay. Please.

Rebecca: Seeley.
Brennan: I’ll get the ball rolling.
Rebecca: Was that Dr. Brennan?
Booth: Uh huh. Why are you here?
Rebecca: I needed to know if you were going to coach Parker’s tee ball team this year.
Booth: You know I always coach Parker’s tee ball team
Rebecca: Well I didn’t want to assume.

Rebecca: Seeley, all the excuses I gave you for not wanting to get married, my independence, your work.
Booth: I know.
Rebecca: No, you don’t! You are a wonderful father, and Parker is a lucky kid, such a lucky kid, and obviously we still have feelings for each other. Do you still want to marry me?
Booth: Rebecca, no, I don’t.
Rebecca: I don’t wanna marry you either. (they smile at each other) I'll miss you.
Booth: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna miss you, too.

1. no
2. don't know, and nothing
3. we don't know her age, but in relation to Booth I'd say at least three or four years younger. She got pregnant when she was still in school, and she wanted to finish her degree. They didn't say what kind of school (undergrad vs. graduate, I presume).
4. Something that makes enough money that between her and Booth they can afford a nanny for. Somehow I always pegged her as a lawyer, but I don't know why (and no, it has nothing to do with Booth's supposed predilection for lawyers, although that would make sense so far as adding to his reputation).
5. No, but it's in the late fall/early winter. He was four years old at Christmas in the first season, and still four in early October the next season. But he was five by the later part of the second season/early third; and seven by early December of the fourth. So, yeah. I'd call him a October/November baby, just because.
6. No clue. Not too far from centralish DC, given how quickly they managed to get from wherever they were driving in the city to the park Parker's nanny takes him to after school.

Thanks so much, especially on Parker's age. I've never been sure how old he was when (I knew he was four in "Man in the Fall Out Shelter" and seven in "The Bone that Blew," but I was never sure of the in-betweens). I like your theory of an October/November birthday. That's something I can work with. ;)

Thanks again!
