A/N I feel so bad for denying all of you the goodies of this last chapter. I've just been so busy with the play that I am in right now. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! This chapter may be not what you all want, but I think it's cute so, I'm going to go with anyway. Oh, and this is in Bren's point of view.
I don't think I can do it. I don't think I can do it. I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT! I am pacing outside the steps of the church. My dress is undoubtably ruined from the walking around and I feel sweaty and gross. Angela has long since disappeared with my dad through the doors into the sanctuary to speak with Booth, to assure him that nothing will go wrong. To say that I will be at the wedding.
"Bren, sweetie?" Great, Angela is here.
"What?" I whirled at her. My eyes were ablaze with fury and fear.
"Calm down. You need to go in there. Booth looks like he's going to piss his pants. Hell, he might even cry. I think he actually is crying." I made Booth cry? No...never.
"He's crying? What the hell would he do that?"
"Because the woman he loves doesn't want to marry him anymore."
"I still want-"
"Are you sure, sweetie?" Angela glared at me. Her gaze made me think...
FLASHBACK! :)
"Hey, Bones?"
"Yes, Booth?"
"Would you mind coming over tonight?"
"Of course. Why?"
"It's a surprise!" Booth gave a childish grin that I couldn't ever resist.
"You know I hate surprises, Booth!"
"Yeah, I know. That's why this makes everything all the more fun." I rolled my eyes at him, but in the end agreed to go over to his house. We still hadn't moved in together, even after a year of being together. Booth said that he didn't want to rush anything or make mistakes with me. I sensed and saw that he did really love me so I conceded to go along with everything he wanted. Hell, I loved Booth this much, I might even marry him.
It was tantalizing, the idea of being married to Booth. I had worked so hard not to want to marry him, to keep my belief system...but the idea of having Booth as mine forever and no one being able to take him away ever again seemed so...so...amazing.
I went over to his house that evening in my best cocktail dress. It was black and sleeveless. I knew for a fact that it was Booth's favorite. When Booth opened to door to his apartment, he was dressed in a Tux and was holding a plastic bone. Tied around the bone with red ribbon was a gigantic diamond ring. I gasped.
"Bones? Temperance? Bren? Tempe? Brennan? Roxy? Wanda? Joy? Dr. Brennan?"
"Booth?" He put the hand not holding the bone to my lips.
"You have so many names. You have so many personas. You are so gifted. I love every side of you. I love the way you are so invested in your work and the way that you are so mother hen-like when it comes to little things. You are amazing with my son and I think that you love me. Now, I know your views on marriage, but I have a feeling in my gut that that's changed. I want us to be together forever and I know we could do that without the ring and the publicized vows, but I want the ring and the publicized vows. I want to show men everywhere that you are mine. I want to be the alpha male. This ring and my declaration is me being the alpha male. I love you, Temperance 'Bones' Brennan and I want you to be mine forever."
"Booth?"
"Yes, Bones?" He looked at me a little apprehensively.
"Why did you tie my ring to a bone? Won't it make it harder for me to put on my finger with that bone attached?"
"What?"
"I said-"
"No, no, I know what you mean. I just thought putting it on a bone would be different and it seemed like a good idea in my head, but now I feel really dumb."
"It's not dumb, it's Boothy!"
"I guess so." Booth looked a little sad when he said it.
"Do you have any scissors?"
"Scissors? Why?"
"So I can cut my ring off the bone."
"So it's a-"
"It's not just a 'yes', Booth. It's a 'HELL YES!'" I shouted and jumped into his arms. I kissed him full on the mouth and then went into the kitchen to grab some scissors. When I put the ring on my finger, it felt right. It felt like it belonged there...
END FLASHBACK!:)
"Bren?"
"Yes, Angela?"
"Do you think Booth will still marry me?"
"I most certainly will."
"Booth!" Angela and I shouted in unison.
"You do know this is bad luck?" Angela stated.
"I don't give a damn. I want to see my Bones." Booth walked over to me and gave me a once over. "You look so beautiful right now. But you also look very hot. Care to join me in the cool air conditioning of the church. I hear it's exceptionally cool right in front of the altar." He gave me a smile that I just couldn't resist.
"I think I'll take you up on that. I'm sorry I'm so late though. I lost my way for a few minutes."
"More like an hour," Booth muttered.
"What"
"Never mind." He grabbed my hand and dragged me through the doors Angela was holding open for us. Along the way, Booth shanghaied Max from the bridesmaids and he looped my arm through Max's. He gave me a quick kiss.
"I'll be right up there, waiting for you. Promise me you'll come this time?"
"I promise." I nodded. We went through the ceremony and when the preacher said "Kiss the bride." A collective cheer rose up and the gang from the Jeffresonian: Cam, Hodgins, Angela, and the various interns screamed:
"FINALLY!"
Yes, it's over and it finally happened. I just whipped this up while watching Harry Potter so... Hope you all loved it. Please review!
