Woo! Final chapter ( I mean it this time) hope all you Aussies and Kiwis took the time to honour the fallen on ANZAC day, and made (or just ate) the golden deliciousness that is the ANZAC cookie. Thank you again to my reviewers! You've really helped me, I 'preciate it :)

After 2 weeks of complete bliss in pure heaven, the couple had to return home. As they walked through the busy terminal at Washington hand in hand they heard a familiar voice.

"Daddy! Daddy! Dr. Bones!"

"Parker!" exclaimed Booth as he knelt down to his sons level and picked him up in a huge bear hug. After he released his son, Parker ran over and hugged Bones, Booth expected her to freeze up, but was pleasantly surprised when she returned the hug enthusiastically to the small boy.

Parker abruptly let go of the woman and ran back to his Mum, her face fell thinking she had done something wrong, she looked to Booth and was about to ask what she had done to scare the child when he ran back up to her and looked down at the ground shyly.

"I bought you some flowers Dr. Bones, I hope you like them" he said timidly handing the doctor a small bouquet of Daffodils. Brennan's face lit up at she gently took the flowers being offered to her.

"I love them Parker! Daffodils are my favourite flowers, they're beautiful. Thank you so much"

Parker's shyness was completely forgotten now.

"Really!? I picked them out myself and paid for them with my pocket money and everything!"

The pair exchanged another hug as Booth thought to himself how happy he was that his two favourite people in the world got along so well, his musings were interrupted by his son

"Daddy! Daddy! Guess what?"

"What Bub?"

"Mummy said I can spend the ENTIRE rest of the weekend with you!" Bones loved the way Booth was just as excited by this news as his son.

"Really! That's great, I'll just go talk to her for a while" he said "can you keep an eye on Bones for me Bub?" he added with a wink at Bones as he turned to walk towards his ex-girlfriend.

"Hey Becca" he said pleasantly "How's Capt…Brent?"

"Hey Seeley, he's fine, thank you for asking"

"So Parker tells me that I can have him for the weekend?"

"Yes, I'll pick him up after school on Monday. Hey, I'm sorry I took Parker away when it was your turn to look after him, but it's not often that Brent, Parker and I have time off. Look, I'll make it up to you, you can have Parker all next holidays, if that's alright with you"

"That's great! Thanks Rebecca, it means a lot to me, really" they looked over at their son who was currently animatedly telling Bones something, both with big smiles on their faces.

"I'm happy for you and Temperance, took your sweet time though didn't you, what's it been? 3 years?"

Booth just looked sheepishly at the floor "Four and a half actually, but who's counting"

Rebecca laughed "I'm glad you have her, she's good for you, I hope you two are very happy together"

"Thanks Becca, we'd better go, see you later" he hugged her and gave her a friendly peck on the cheek before turning to his son "Come on Parker, say good bye to your mum"

"Bye Mummy!" he said and gave her a hug around the middle, Rebecca kissed the top of his head, "you be good for Daddy alright, I'll see you after school on Monday"

"Alright! Bye!" he said happily as he grabbed Booths hand in his left and Bones in his right, and led them out the door in to the freezing Washington winter.

*$*$*$*$*$*

The three of them spent Saturday at Booth's place, drinking hot chocolate, rugging up on the couch and watching movies. On Sunday, Russ, Amy and the girls came around.

"Tempey!"

"Russ?! What are you doing here?"

"Booth invited us over yesterday, said you wanted to tell us something" at this Temperance blushed deeply "but I'm pretty sure me and my amazing powers of deduction have figured it out, congrats you two, it's 'bout time" Bones laughed and hugged her brother and her sister-in-law.

Later that day, Amy and Brennan were chatting on the couch keeping an eye on the three children, who were getting along famously when Booth got up to get another drink and Russ followed. Booth pulled out two beers, turned to Russ and handed him one before saying,

"Is this the part when you give me the over protective brother, 'you break her heart I'll break your neck' speech?"

Russ laughed as he took the beer

"Something like that, yeah"

Booth chuckled and looked over to the heart warming scene in font of them

"We're really lucky, aren't we?" he said softly

"Yeah, definitely"

*$*$*$*$*$*

The next day Brennan woke to an empty bed, and a very noisy kitchen, she put on her dressing gown and ventured into the kitchen to be welcomed by the smell of freshly made blueberry pancakes.

"mmm…someone's been busy" she said as she walked over to Booth who lent down and gave her yet another mind-blowing kiss.

"EWW!"

The pair laughed when they looked down to see Parker walk into the kitchen.

"Morning Parker, you want pancakes?" asked Booth

The small boys' look of disgust at finding the couple kissing was replaced almost instantly by one of delight

"Yes please!"

After a large breakfast, everyone got dressed and climbed into Booth's SUV to take Parker to school.

*$*$*$*$*$*

Twenty minutes later they pulled into the Jeffersonian, Booth parked the car and they walked towards the entrance when Brennan stopped short.

"Oh no…"

"What's wrong?" said Booth as he walked back to her and held her hand

"We forgot the ear plugs" Booth laughed and pulled her gently through the entrance

"Oh come on, she won't be that bad!" Just then, as if on queue an ear-splitting scream echoed through the building.

" I KNEW IT! OH MY GOD!!! I TOLD YOU JACK!!!YOU OWE ME $50!!!" a very excited Angela was running towards the couple squealing and shouting before almost bowling her best friend over in a bear hug.

"Sweetie! I'm so happy for you! You've finally got your knight in standard issue FBI body armour! Who would of thought that all it would take for you to lovebirds to realise your feelings was a trip to a tropical island? If I knew that, I would of shoved you two on a plane YEARS ago!" She stopped to take a large breath "it's all so romantic! You have to tell me everything! My office, NOW! Let's go!" she said grabbing Temperance's free hand. Brennan looked hopefully at Booth as if he could save her from the interrogation that would follow

"Sorry Bones, I got to get to the Hoover building, see you at lunch, kay?" he pulled her too him and gave her a kiss "Love ya Bones"

"Love you too"

"AWWW! You guys are TOO cute! Now come on Bren, lets go!" and with that literally pulled her into her office.

*$*$*$*$*$*

Three hours later Brennan was saved from the interrogation by best friend when Booth picked her up for lunch.

"Sorry Angela, we're on a tight schedule, gotta squeeze in lunch before another fun filled hour of psycho analysis with the twelve year old" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

45 minutes later Booth and Brennan were sitting in the waiting room of Dr. Sweets' office. Brennan was wringing her hands together nervously

"Should we tell him? Do you think he already knows? What if he can just tell?"

Booth placed his strong hands around her small, delicate ones.

"It's going to be fine, he's going to find out sooner or later, it's best we tell him ourselves"

"But what if they decide to split us up? What if we can't work together anymore? I…I don't think I would manage very well without you Seeley" she whispered the last sentence, Booth knew it took a lot for her to admit that.

"Temperance, I am not going anywhere, I love you and I will never leave you, ok?" she still looked troubled "Look, I'll tell you what, if they try and split us up, we'll threaten to quit and run away to Fiji, or…start up our own ice cream store on some other tropical island, alright?" at this Bones laughed

"Ice cream store? Really? That's the best you can come up with?"

Booth was about to retort when they were interrupted by the secretary who informed them that they could now enter Dr. Sweets office.

"Ahh, Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan, how are you?"

"Fine" they said in unison as they sat down

"Soo…" said Sweets looking at them expectantly

"So what?" quipped Booth

"How was your time off? Do anything exciting?" he sat back on his chair with a smug smile on his face

"Yes actually, we went to Fiji, confessed our undying love for each other and decided that if the FBI terminates our partnership because of it we will run away to the Caribbean and open an ice cream shop" said Brennan in a cool business like manner. That'll wipe that smug smile off your face she thought. Sweets spluttered for a moment as his eyes flashed between the two partners

"Wha…bu…yo…no…sh…he…fl…me…"

Booth laughed " I take it back Sweets, your not 12, you're 2!"

Brennan joined in "Actually, two year olds are usually more articulate, and can form whole words, I'd say he's showing the mental capabilities of a 12 month old."

"Ohh… I see, you were joking!" said Sweets

"Of course" said Brennan causing a look of relief to flood over the young psychologists' face, "We do realise that you obviously have more than the mental capabilities of a one year old…"

"No Dr. Brennan, I meant about the trip to Fiji and the undying love stuff"

Booth cut in "Oh yeah, that's all true, except for the part of the Caribbean… we didn't actually decide which island we would run away to…" He looked up at Sweets "What? Still don't believe us?" and with that pulled Brennan to her feet and gave her a passionate kiss,

Bones blushed a little before turning to Sweets "I would strongly suggest that you recommend Booth and I stay partners, we really weren't kidding about running off together, and I doubt you want to be know as the guy who drove the FBI's most efficient crime fighting duo into hiding, for the rest of your career"

And with that she turned on her heel, Booth grabbed her hand and they walked out of the office, leaving Sweets sitting behind his desk doing a damn good impression of a stunned mullet.

A/N: WOO!!! Finished!!!!! I'm so happy! Fresh ANZAC cookies for all that review :)
