Epilogue

Parker Booth stood in front of the mirror trying to fix his tie. He was wearing a suit which he hated. He preferred his usual outfits of jeans and a tee shirt over fancy clothes any day. His clip on tie was being a nuisance all morning and Parker was ready to give up on it.

He took off the tie and stuffed it in his pocket. The tie was the least of his concerns.

It was exactly a year from the accident in the hospital. It was also a year since his mother died. Parker missed his mother dearly and went to visit her grave at least once a week. He knew he had to be brave for her and that she was watching him from above every day. Parker was also nervous since today was the day that he would officially get a new mother. She came with a younger brother and sister for him, which was hard to get used to. He usually liked it when he got all the attention and special treatment of being an only child.

"Parker, are you ready?" A voice called out. He turned to see Angela standing at the doorway. She wore a yellow dress with her hair in a neat bun. Parker nodded and walked towards her. She kneeled down before him and put her hand out. Parker rolled his eyes and handed her the clip on tie. As she adjusted his tie she said, "Do you want to see her before the ceremony starts?"

"I'm nervous! What if she tries to replace my mom? What if she does not want me?"

"Ok, sweetie, slow down. A- It is ok to be nervous. B- She will never try to do that. C- You know she loves you. You know that!"

"Ok, I know. I'll go see her," Parker said. He sprinted down the hallway to a set of large white doors. He opened one of the doors and walked in. She was staring at a mirror putting on a pair of earrings. She wore a long white dress and also had her hair in a bun. She noticed that he had entered the room and turned to him.

"Hi, I'm ready," she said. She walked over to him and took his hand. Parker looked up to her and said,

"Temperance?"

"Yes, Parker?," Brennan answered.

"I'm glad that you are going to marry my dad."

"Me too."

They entered down the hallway and walked towards a long ballroom stairs. As they walked, Brennan remembered the events of the past year. After she had told Parker to stay in the bathroom, James had grabbed her. Booth mustered all the strength he had and tackled James, causing him to drop his gun. Brennan was able to grab the gun while James struggled with Booth. When Booth saw that Brennan had grabbed the gun, he let go of James and ran towards the bed. Before James could do anything, Brennan shot him twice which killed him.

Over the next few weeks, Cam and Rebecca were buried in a beautiful cemetery close to the Jeffersonian. Sweets had survived his gun shot wound and recovered within a week. The police announced that James had killed 10 other people on the hospital floor before finding Brennan, Booth, and Parker. Within a month of the incident, the three of them took a vacation to Australia to get away from the stress of their lives. In regards to the wedding, Booth and Brennan had decided to wait to get married after the baby, later discovered to be twins. Angela and Hodgins' marriage became stronger after the incident. Due to the events that had happened and the success of their partnership, the FBI had decided to allow Booth and Brennan to work together even after getting married.

After heading down the stairs, Brennan waited impatiently as her bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle. She was incredibly nervous since within an hour she was getting a husband and another child.

"Tempe, it's time," she heard someone say. She walked to the front doors and took a breath. The doors opened revealing a large church filled with over a hundred people facing her and smiling. She saw Booth teary eyed and smiling at the end of the aisle. Temperance Brennan let out a chuckle and headed down the aisle towards a happy, new chapter in her life.
