I figured I made you guys wait long enough for the resolution of this story, that I owed you the epilogue ASAP. Thanks for hanging with me on this one.

"Hello there, Beautiful," Booth said as he wrapped his arms around Brennan and pulled her back into his embrace.
"Hello yourself, Handsome," she replied as she settled against his chest and enjoyed the warmth of his body.
"It was a beautiful ceremony," Booth commented.
"Indeed," Brennan agreed as they looked out at the wedding guests who were enjoying the food and alcohol that had been served. "I'm just glad that they went through with it this time and didn't leave us standing at the altar again."
"The results would've been different this time if they had," he assured her as his gaze drifted to where Jack and Angela were sharing their first dance as husband and wife.
"Oh yeah?" she asked as she looked over her shoulder at him.
"Absolutely," he replied as he met her gaze. "If they'd left us standing at the altar this time, I would've moved up the time table on our own wedding and we'd be the ones out there sharing our first dance as husband and wife."
"You're quite sure of yourself there, Booth," she replied as she turned her attention back to the wedding guests. She saw Wendell laugh at some story her father was telling him and couldn't help but smile.
"It's not me that I'm so sure of," Booth replied as he turned her to face him. "It's you and me together that I have complete confidence in."
She smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "When do you want to tell them?"
"Not today," Booth replied as he settled his arms around her waist. "Today is about Jack and Angela. We can tell them about the baby after they get back from the honeymoon."
"Agreed," Brennan said. "But I want to tell my father first."
Booth smiled as he looked over her shoulder at where Max was seated with the rest of his squint squad. "Deal," he said.
"I love you, Booth."
"I love you, too."
The two leaned towards each other, meeting halfway, as they shared a passionate kiss, knowing that second chances should never be taken for granted.
And that brings us to an end. I hope you enjoyed it. Please drop me a line and let me know what you thought. And thanks so much for taking the time to read it.
