"There's two things I know for sure she was sent here from heaven and she's Daddy's little girl." A strong voice sings out as he tucks his little girl up in bed.

Seeley Booth never in a million years expected to be sitting on a hardwood floor, singing his heart out to a little girl especially not his own little girl. Over the years he'd accepted the fact that he was getting older, he was still alone and had already be gifted with an amazing son and as Parker's 10th birthday had long been and gone he knew he'd never be a father again. Well he thought he knew, he also thought he'd never get married to the woman his heart ached for but again he was wrong.

He plays nervously with his wedding band before leaning over and giving his princess a kiss goodnight. He sits back down and waits for her to fall asleep, he never imagined doing this either. Every night he waits till she's asleep before leaving, only to run back in thirty minutes later when he thinks he hears her cry out. She never does, she's always fast asleep.

A photo across the room attracts his attention and he moves to pick it up off the dusty shelf.

"I really must give this house some attention." He mutters to himself as he draws the photo to his chest.

There's two things I know for sure

She was sent here from heaven and she's Daddy's little girl

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes

And I thank God for all of the joy in my life

Oh, but most of all for..

His eyes are closed tight and his heart is beating at an unimaginable pace, he always thought that it could never beat this fast again. Not after everything was said and done, his heart was going to beat slowly from now on, just like it was struggling to beat but the love of his baby girl was bringing him through.

"Will you marry me?"

He was balanced on one knee in the middle of the most expensive restaurant in town. Everybody with money and those who managed to scrape enough up for the one night proposed here and that kind of took the secret away from it all. If a guy said to his girlfriend "Honey I've booked a table at The Pearl tonight." then they knew tonight was going to be the best night of their lives but they also knew the element of surprise, which of course was the real tear jerker. Booth was lucky in the fact that his girl had no idea why people went to the pearl and even when another guy proposed right next to them she was still totally oblivious.

The look on her face was priceless when he produced an exquisite diamond ring, so much so he would have laughed if he hadn't of been so nervous. She was quiet for a long time but he saw a glimpse of a small tear threatening to run down her face, for those minutes that little tear was all that gave him hope. All the diners sat at near by tables were watching them, several guys were debating whether she was going to turn him down or not and the women had tears in their own eyes knowing that no one could possibly say "No" at the Pearl, even if they wanted to.

Her eyes had met his and her hand reached out to stroke the hand placed on her knee. She had composed herself perfectly and found the words to calm his heart.

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes Seeley Booth, I will marry you."

He'd sighed a sigh of relief and utter contentment and in one moment he realized he'd been wrong about what the rest of his life had in store for him.

"Fantastic. You had me worried there for a second."

She'd smiled, the smile that she only had for him and those moments of waiting were long forgotten.

"I was in shock, the words wouldn't come out. I had no idea you were going to ask."

He'd laughed, he'd laughed so hard that everyone in the restaurant had their eyes on their table and even the waiters and waitresses were looking over.

"What's so funny?"

"You know every single other woman in this room knows exactly why she's here tonight."

"That is not a logical thing to say. How can every woman in this room know that her partner is going to propose? I'd say at most 2 had it figured out."

Booth laughed again and he didn't care how many people were staring at him, he had his life sorted and every single word coming from her mouth made him fall in love even more.

"Babe The Pearl has a reputation, everyone comes here to propose that's why I brought you here. The best thing of all is I knew no matter how many guys fell to their knees before me tonight I 'd have one up on them all because I'd be the only guy with a gal who'd be totally oblivious."

This time she'd laughed too.

"Then I'm glad of my anti-social stance and that being totally oblivious really worked for you."

"I love you more than anything in this world. You are my everything."

"Logically speaking that's not something that one would consider to be true beings a Father's love is unbeatable, you may love me but not as much as you love your son."

"It's a figure of speech baby, just a figure of speech."

He wipes the tears from his eyes, convinced that they were caused by the remembrance of a happy memory and nothing else. They'd been many sad moments in his life and he still can't understand why the happy moments always make him cry more than the sad ones.

He looks to his daughter, her brown curls are sprawled across the pillow and her little eyes are closed tight. He lifts her covers up slightly and places another gentle kiss on her forehead before turning to leave the room. As he closes the door he takes one last look at his pride and joy and smiles knowing that she's always gonna be Daddy's little girl.
