Timerip I – The Wedding in the Future

Author Notes: This belongs in the world created in Bones – Revisited.

This takes place in the future, 16 years from season 01. Give or take a few months.

I do not own Bones or any of the characters. (I do own Noah Bray).

Special Agent Seeley Booth-Addy looked at his son dressed in a dark tuxedo.

"Are you ready, Parker?"

"Almost, Dad."

Doctor Zack Booth-Addy got inside the tent his husband and his son were in:

"Are you two ready?"

"I just need to find something borrowed and something blue."

Zack smiled, seeming 20 years younger than the 37 he was:

"Your father insists?"

The blond man rolled his eyes:

"As if you didn't know."

Zack reached inside his jacket pocket and retrieved a blue lily boutonnière, which he gave Parker:

"Here. I knew he'd be like that."

"Thanks, Dad. We can go now."

The trio walked down the aisle and waited for the other part of the couple to show up. Meanwhile, on the other tent, Wendell Bray was allowing a single tear roll down his face as he saw his son (Not biological), Noah Bray, finished getting ready.

"Dad! Stop that! I'm getting married, not joining a convent. And I'm not the bride!"

Vincent Nigel-Murray decided to step in:

"Noah, you have to know that your father feels like he's losing you, even though you're staying here in town. You've been a part of our lives for so long, it's hard to let go."

"Oh." – The brown haired man hugged his parents. – "I love you two, and you're not losing me."

"Your mother is so proud of you, Noah."

"I know. I'm a little sad that she couldn't make it. But I understand, the job of an ambassador is never done." – He paused for a bit. – "Let's go make her proud, shall we?"

They took their son's arms and led him outside. It was a relatively small ceremony. Noah took notice of everyone as he walked down the aisle.

There was Parker's uncle Jared and his wife, Padme Dalaj.

There were his grandparents, Vincent's parents, Parker's great-grandfather (Pops) and Zack's immediate family.

Nearest the altar there was the squint squad in its entirety:

Lance Sweets and his fiancé, Colin Fisher.

Finn Abernathy.

Daisy Wick.

Clark Edison.

Arastoo Vaziri.

Doctor Daniel Goodman-Cullen, his husband, Director Samuel Goodman-Cullen and their daughter, Amy.

Camille Saroyan, her husband, Paul, and her daughter Michelle.

Angela Montenegro, Jack Hodgins and their son Michael Vincent.

Temperance Brennan, Max Keenan, Russ Brennan, his wife and their two girls, Margaret Whitesell, and Parker's half sister, Christine Angela.

Zack, Booth, Rebecca Stinson and her husband.

Reaching the altar, Vincent and Wendell let go of Noah, who kissed them on the cheeks before turning to his soon to be husband.

"Parker."

"Noah."

"Let's do this."

"Let's."

They held each other's hand and thought that they were prepared for the journey that was coming ahead.

They were right.

And they lived what most people live their live searching for:

Happily Ever After.
