Cam smiled as she walked up the aisle. This was the happiest and proudest day of her life. She reached the alter and turned to Michelle. Kissing her daughters cheek she let go of her arm and took her seat at the front of the church. And she looked on as her daughter turned to her husband to be and she smiled even harder. Yes this was by far the happiest and proudest day of her life.

-------- ----------------

Angela look at the small dark haired girl sitting at the top of the church next to the little page boy. Her nine year old daughter, Callie. Her and Jack's little angel. Michelle had been adamant that Call would be her flower girl in her wedding. Jack took her hand and grinned at her. He lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed it gently. She smiled. Things were so perfect.

Temperance looked up at Michelle, she looked so happy she was the same age now that Tempe had been when she had gotten married to Booth. In this exact same church actually. She looked to her left past Jaden and Conrad, to Booth who sat on the other side of their sons. He caught her eye and threw her his charm smile. She returned the smile and mouthed

"I love you" and his smiled got even wider. After all these years it still warmed his heart when her heard her say that.

Brennan then looked to her sons. Conrad had just turned seventeen and Jaden was almost fifteen. They were, from what she knew, heart throbs in school, both played multiple sports but that was ok with her because they both kept straight A's. She knew they were good looking, they were the head off their father and she knew they both had his temperament. Kind and caring but strong and brave. She couldn't ask for a better family. They'd even accepted her choice not to retire.

she walked out onto the dance floor and took Michelle's hand her daughter was officially grown up now. She had never been to a wedding before were there was a mother daughter dance but that's what Michelle had wanted.

"You're dad would be so proud of you darling."

"Thank you Mom."

"I love you baby." She smiled.

"I love you too." Michelle replied with tears welling up in her eyes.

Angela leaned across the table and unclipped the bow from Callie's hair, as it started to fall off. She was sound asleep on Jack's shoulder. He smiled and getting up slowly he carried her up to their room. She watched as they walked away. She then took a minute to look around at all her friends. Cam and her Michelle were laughing and dancing, Booth was having a conversation in the corner with Jaden, Conrad was trying to convince Brennan into letting him have a drink, with little success. And Zach poor Zach. Out of the psychiatric hospital barely five years, after almost twenty one inside. They'd finally found out his truth after all these years. And he was slowly readjusting to life.

-------------- --------------

She hung up the phone and sat down next to her husband of twenty years, smiling. That phone call had won her the argument she'd been having with Conrad. And Jaden had just left to go dance with Angela.

"What is it Bones" Booth asked.

"I was just asked to come out to this dig in Egypt."

"Egypt?" he said.

"Yes it's huge its…" he put up a hand.

"Is it the one you've been talking about for weeks now."

"Yes. They want me to come out and authenticate some findings. They've found…" he stopped her again.

"There's no point telling me the details I wont get it" He laughed "I just know you want to go." He stopped for a second and looked deep into her eyes. "How long?"

"A month maximum." She said. He took her hand in his. He could see in her face how badly she wanted to go, how much it meant to her.

"You going to need to go shopping then." He smiled. She leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"That you Seeley." She grinned from ear to ear.

"I know that is important to you."

"I know I promised you I'd stop going abroad for so long but this is so huge its…"

"Bones I said I know this is important to you."

"Thank you, but you should know work may be very important to me but it'll never be as important as you." She kissed his cheek again.

"What ever Bones. You never were a good liar." He laughed.
