Ok, so I decided to make this a multi-chapter fiction. I will be going between POVs so bare with me. I'll tell you at the beginning what and who POV it's in.

POV: Third Person (God View)...what Seeley is feeling.

Disclaimer: Please see Chapter One.


Seeley Booth looked over at his wife. Thirty years, he thought to himself and smiled. Feels like only yesterday. Temperance felt his stare on her. She always could. Even after only knowing each other for a short while. There was just something in those dark, chocolate colored eyes of his. Seeley reached over and took her hand. "Happy anniversary, Bones," he whispered as he lent over to her. Temperance turned to look over at her husband and smiled.

"Happy anniversary, to you too."

"It was nice of the kids to give us this party, huh?"

"Yes, it was." Temperance turned her attention back to Riley, who was now standing where Parker had just occupied. She knew Seeley was still looking at her. And he was.

Seeley couldn't help it. After all these years, she still took his breath away. Her beauty, her mind, her strange sense of humor. He smiled to himself. He took in his wife. His skin was still pale and smooth. Nobody could ever guess her age. She differently didn't look old enough to have grandchildren. Her red hair was just starting to turn a silvery color. She refused to dye, saying that it was natural, and why should she waste her time.

Seeley looked up at his second son. He was talking about memories he had of growing up. He smiled. He was proud of his children. All of them. And Tempe and him had done a good job raising them. They were all independent, and well educated. They believed in finding the truth, and defending the ones who can't defend themselves. Yes, he was proud of his family. His attention again turned to his wife.

Tempe was in deep thought listening to her son, and Seeley found it sweet. He had seen such a change in her. He thought back. Back to a different time, when she wasn't his. Not officially, he thought with a smile. She's been mine since the day I met her. They had been through a lot together. Many cases that left them fighting and confused. They had been there for each other. He had saved her life on many different occasions. He had taken bullets for her, and had been blown up. He had threatened drug kings and risked his career. And looking back, he knew that not only would he do it again…he would do in now…in a heartbeat. She was his life.

He squeezed her hand as he thought back to when everything had changed. The night they laid in the park looking at stars. The game of 20 questions that they played over the next several days. The case that separated them. He could still remember their first kiss like it was yesterday. It was fresh in his mind. He could remember her she felt, how she tasted that first time. He could still see the confusion and the passion that burned simultaneously in her eyes. The softness of her lips, the hungry in the kiss, the feel of her pressed against his body…he could recall it all.

He could still tell you about the time he flew down to New Orleans to be with her. The time when they found her mother. He could remember holding her as she cried…repeating over and over, "I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan."

Seeley looked back at his son, but his eyes stared into the past. To a time when he had held her close and kissed her, and then dropped to one knee. He had asked her to marry him and, through silent tears, she had accepted. She didn't cry often, but she did that night. By the time their wedding came about, she was already pregnant with Riley. Angela had been beside herself when she found out. Ange is a good friend, he thought. All the squints are. Yes, they had all been through a lot. And even through they had got off to a rocky start, they were all friends, as Parker said, Angela, Zack and Jack are family.

They had been there from the beginning. Through all of his and Tempe's banter and fight. Through their wedding and the birth of their children. In fact, Hodgins had been there when Tempe gave birth to Jordan. Seeley smiled at the memory. At the look on his face. Priceless.

He had so many memories of his wife and children. And of their squint family. He remembered one time, a Fourth of July party, when Parker was 13. They were all having a blast when Angela offered Tempe a beer. She had turned it down. Nobody thought much of it, until she said, "We would like a glass of water." We? That was when she made the announcement that she was going to have another baby. Again, Seeley smiled. They hadn't planned on having any more, but they were overjoyed to add another one to their family. Bryar had made their family complete.

Seeley let out a heavy sigh, that caused Tempe to look over at him. He smiled. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah," he told he. "I couldn't be better." He smiled at her and let one last memory float through his mind. A crisp summer night when he and Tempe laid out under the stars. They had just seen a shooting star and he had asked her what she wished for.

"I wish to go home," she whispered. "And get you out of these clothes." A smile graced his face when he pulled back to look into her eyes.

"What about the meteor shower?" he asked. "What about trying to catch a shooting star?" Brennan pulled him down into a kiss before she answered.

"I already have all that my heart desires," she said with a smile, pulling him back down to her.

Yes, he thought. I have everything my heart desires too. I have a great family. A job that I still love and most of all…I still have my Bones. He gave Tempe's hand one more squeeze before turning his attention to Riley and his son's memories.


So, what did you think?

umm..I think chapter three will be Riley.
