I assume that:

1. you are running this code from Aras method
2. you are talking about Part BOM relationship between 2 parts

Your code will be like this:

Item qry = this.getInnovator().newItem("Part", "get");
Item bomRelItm = qry.createRelationship("Part BOM", "get");
Item childItem = bomRelItm.createRelatedItem("Part", "get"); 
childItem.setProperty("item_number", "xxxxxxx");
qry  = qry.apply();

if (!qry.isError()) {
      for (int i = 0; i < qry.getItemCount(); i++) {
          Item parentItem =qry.getItemByIndex(i);
    }
} 

Lines 1-5 you can replace with

Item qry = this.getInnovator().applyAML(MYXMLFROMPREVIOUSANSWER);
