That day, work went by slow for Brennan. During work, the only thing she seemed to be able to think about was Booth and Catherine. She was preoccupied and lost count of all the times someone had to snap her out of deep thought.

They went through the week. They didn't go out to the diner, they didn't order in, the only time they spent time together outside of work was while doing paperwork. Both wanted to say something but neither did.

It was now the time for the rehearsal dinner. Everyone was there. Booth sat beside Brennan and his fiancé. Angela, Cam and Daisy sat on Catherine's side, while the three other guys sat on Booth's side with Brennan. While Booth and Catherine were talking to the priest, Brennan, and the rest of the squints stood talking. Brennan finished a class of wine.

"Whoa, Bren, you okay there?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"Hmm, I don't know, but you just downed a whole glass of wine."

"I'm fine, Angela."

After a few more glasses, the wedding rehearsal was over and Booth walked up to a lonely Brennan.

"Hey, Bones. You have fun?"

"Yes, although, I'm running out of wine." She stumbled a little.

"Oh, I think you've had enough." He laughed.

"Nah, I could drink a lot more."

"Here, let's get you home."

"Alright."

Booth and Catherine drove Brennan home. He walked her upstairs, got her into bed and left.

The weekend arrived fast and Booth spent it with Parker. He informed Parker of his decision to marry Catherine and Parker seemed thrilled for the most part.

"Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Why aren't you marrying Dr. Bones?"

Booth sighed, "Because we're best friends. We're not in love."

"Dad, I'm old enough to understand when 2 people love each other and you and Dr. Bones love each other. I wanted you 2 to get married."

"Yeah, me too, buddy. Me too but it isn't happening. Besides, you like Catherine, don't you?"

"Yeah, she's awesome."

Booth messed up Parkers hair and hugged him.
