Monday of the Next Week:

Temperance walked into work happily. Booth had dropped her off, as usual before heading to the FBI building.

She smiled contently and saw Angela. "Hey," she said, walking over to her.

Angela studied her friend's face for a moment. "You look... overly happy today..." she said, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Ange..." Temperance smiled more.

"What did you do?" Angela asked, thinking she already knew.

"Come with me, I need to do paper work and I can talk to you while I do it," Temperance turned and headed to her office.

"Spill," Angela said as she closed the door.

"Spill what?" Temperance was a little confused now.

"Tell me what you did!" Angela laughed.

Tempe sat down at her desk and pulled out a pen and grabbed the files that she needed. "I had sex with Booth."

Angela squealed so loudly it sounded like a scream.

"Angela! Shh! Somebody will think that you're screaming," Tempe's face flushed a little pink.

"I'm sorry, but you actually had sex with him? What was it like?" Ange asked, excited.

"It was... amazing..." Temperance looked at her friend dreamily. "Angela... I think it was more then sex..."

"More then sex?" Angela asked. Now she was a little confused. "You mean like making love?"

"Yes," Temperance said, sighing happily.

"No way!" Angela squealed again.

"Angela! Shush! Hodgins will come in and you'll tell him and I don't want you to!"

"Why not?" Ange asked, sounding a little disappointed.

"Because I want to be able to tell people when I'm ready," Temperance said. "When we're ready."

"What's the matter Bren?"

"I'm a little scared Ange..." Tempe said, starting to write.

"Why?"

"Because... we..."

"You?"

"We were both a little bit drunk... and we..." Temperance gulped and set the pen down.

"Brennan, what's the matter?"

"We didn't use protection," Temperance said, studying her friends face the way she does with human remains, except this time, she couldn't figure it out.

Angela gave her friend a small smile. "Don't worry, it'll all turn out for the best," she said as she stood up. "Congratulations though," she walked out of the office.

Temperance leaned back in her chair as Goodman came into the room.

"Agent Booth just phoned me. He said that you two have a case, but he can't get a hold of you," he said.

"Why not?" Temperance checked her office phone and noticed that she had turned the volume down while she was talking to Angela. It was now on mute. She grabbed her cell and saw it was dead. "That's why."

"He says that you are to meet him outside and he'll be here in a few minutes," Goodman shrugged a little and then stood up strait and fixed his tie. He then walked out of the office and went back to Camille Saroyan's former office.

Cam was still working at the Jeffersonian, but she had been demoted from Head of Forensics to Head of Pathology.

Temperance sighed and grabbed her kit. She also dug around in her desk to find her extra cell phone charger.

When she found it, she plugged her cell phone in and then went out the door. When she was outside, she saw Booth sitting there right away.

She went over to the black SUV and climbed into the passenger seat.

"Hey Bones," Booth seemed brighter today.

"Good morning Booth," Temperance said, trying to sound professional.

Booth noticed that she was acting different then last night. "What's the matter with you, Bones?"

"Nothing," Temperance said, all too quickly.

"Come on Bones, I know you better then that," Booth lifted her chin.

"There's nothing wrong Booth. Can we just talk about work? Or else, can we not talk?" she was still scared.

"All right. You wanna talk about work? Let's talk about work."

"What's the case about?" Temperance said, looking out the window. Booth told her about the case, but her mind was wandering.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Five Weeks Later:

Temperance was still feeling ill as she got up and began to get ready to go to work. Tonight was the night that she was taking the pregnancy test.

Booth had noticed that something was wrong with Brennan, so he gave her her space. He hadn't pushed anything on her and she was glad for it.

If she told Booth that she was pregnant with his child, he would want to marry her... have a life with her...

It didn't sound too bad in Tempe's head. She felt a bout of nausea and she rushed to the bathroom.

After empting her stomach contents, Temperance grabbed a pair of jeans and a nice blouse that was striped. She had worn this same shirt when she had first met Booth, but that had eluded her mind long ago.

She walked out of her apartment and went down to her small silver car. She took it to the Jeffersonian and went inside. She had been coming to work, but getting sick a lot. Hodgins, Goodman, Zach, and Cam were beginning to worry.

Angela had already guessed what had happened, well half guessed.

Tempe went into the Jeffersonian and saw Angela. She smiled and walked up beside her. "Good morning," she said.

"Morning Bren," Angela yawned widely.

"Why are you tired? You aren't the one throwing up every few minutes."

"Late night," Angela said with a small laugh as Hodgins came up she winked at him. "Morning Hodgie."

"Good morning Angela," Hodgins couldn't help but let his eyes marvel at the amazing woman that was Angela Montenegro.

Tempe cleared her throat to show that she was still there. She smiled tightly and then took Angela's arm. "Angela... I'm taking the pregnancy tests tonight..." she whispered when they were away from Hodgins.

"You are? Do you want me to come?" Angela asked, excited."

"If you'd like to come, then yes, you can. I have to work now though Angela..." Temperance covered her mouth and closed her eyes. She held up her index finger and rushed to the bathrooms.

While she was running there, she almost ran flat into Booth. Angela started after Brennan and followed her into the bathroom.

"What's the matter with Bones?" Booth asked Hodgins when he saw him.

"Dunno man, she's been doin' that for a couple weeks now," Hodgins said with a shrug.

Booth looked towards the ladies room, worried.

"Don't worry dude, Angela will make sure that she goes to a doctor," Hodgins said before turning towards his work station on the platform.

Booth went to his partner's office and sat down at her desk. He looked at the computer and saw a file that said his name on it. He double clicked the file and it opened up to pictures. A lot of em.

There was Booth and Brennan at Wong Foos, at the Jeffersonian, at Angela's birthday two months ago, at Booth's birthday last year. There was Booth and Brennan when she had been stuck under the mistletoe and tried to escape because she didn't believe in the plant, but, fortunately for Booth, she hadn't escaped and he had gotten to kiss her.

He smiled when he saw them but he heard footsteps and Angela's voice a few moments later so he quickly closed the file and leaned back in Brennan's chair.

"Booth..." she said when she saw him. She was a little nervous.

"Hey Bones," Booth said casually as he leaned forward.

"Do we have a case?" she asked, sitting down near him.

"Nope, just coming in to say hi."

"Oh..." Temperance looked at Angela who nodded in a way of saying tell him. She gulped.

"Brennan... you need to..." Angela said, touching Temperance's shoulder comfortingly.

Temperance nodded.

"What do you need to do?" Booth asked, looking at the two women.

"Can we go to Wong Foos after work or something?" Temperance suddenly realized what she had asked and tried not to feel ill.

"Sure," Booth said, standing up.

"No, not Wong Foos... my place," Temperance was glad she had said that. The mere sight of food now was making her sick.

"Sure..." Booth said, still worried about his partner.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After Work:

"Ok, Bones... you ok?" Booth asked, taking her towards his black SUV that was outside.

"Yes... I'm alright..." Temperance climbed into the passenger seat and looked down at her feet as the car began.

Booth stayed silent until they were in Brennan's apartment. "What's up Bones?"

"Booth..." Temperance sat down on her couch and closed her eyes. "I might be..." suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She got up and went over to the door and opened it.

Angela was standing there with a small bag from a drug store. "I'm here," she said with a bright smile. She saw Booth behind her. "Did you tell him?"

"Tell me what?" Booth asked, confused.

"I'll tell him after..." Temperance took the bag and went into the bathroom. She came out a while later. "It... it..." she was holding a small thing in her hand. "It's... I..."

"Brennan," Angela went over and looked at the small item in Brennan's hand. "No way!" she exclaimed, looking at Tempe.

Tempe nodded. "I used the one that I bought too..." she held up the other one. "It's..."

"Bren!" Angela exclaimed as she hugged her friend.

"Angela... this is..."

"What is it?" Booth asked, looking at the two women, more confused then he had been all night.

"You'd better sit down," Tempe said as she herself sat down.

"Bones..."

"I'm pregnant," Temperance stated, staring blankly at the white wall.

"What?" Booth asked, eyes wide. He remembered back to when they had first made love. "Is it... mine?"

Temperance nodded, still staring blank.

"Temperance? Are you ok with this?" he asked.

Temperance shook her head. "No..." she sniffed as a tear ran down her cheek.

"Bren? Sweetie, I'm gonna leave you two alone ok?" Angela hugged her friend, but this time, it wasn't a happy and excited hug, it was a comfort hug.

"Bye..." Temperance said, wiping away each tear as it left a trail down her cheeks.

"You don't... you don't have to have this baby Temperance," Booth said. "There are other options. You can get an..."

"Abortion? No Booth," Temperance looked at Booth sadly, her blue eyes hurt. "I don't believe in abortion. I think of it like the murder of a small thing... very small..." Temperance looked back at the wall and touched her stomach. "I knew it..."

"You knew what?"

"That I was pregnant," Tempe said, still staring at the wall.

"How?"

"I... I don't know..." she looked over at Booth, her eyes still blank. "I just... knew..."

"Is this why you've been avoiding me?" Booth asked, moving closer to her.

"I... didn't want to tell you that I suspected I was pregnant," Temperance looked into his eyes which now held a hint of pain.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because... I was..."

"Afraid?"

"Yes," Temperance nodded her head a little.

"Of what?" Booth touched her shoulder.

"Of you," Temperance saw confusion in Booth's eyes. "Of... if you knew that I was pregnant... you'd want to marry me..."

"Temperance," Booth said, trying to think of what to say, "I do want to marry you, but I know that you don't ever want to get married."

"Booth..." Temperance said quietly, but Booth put a finger to her lips to make her be quiet.

"Temperance, I love you," Booth said.

"I..." Temperance began.

"You don't have to say anything, but listen to me," Booth said, taking her hand in his. "I love you and one day, I don't care if it takes 10 years or 10 days, one day, I will marry you. I promise you that."

Temperance felt her heart swell, and then she felt tears come to her eyes. She began to cry.

"Bones? Are you ok?" Booth asked, worried. He had only seen Tempe really truly cry once.

"Yes..." Temperance tried to regain composer, but failed. She tried to stop the sobs, but they kept coming. She hugged Booth. "I... hate... hormones..." she mumbled into his shoulder.

Booth stifled a laugh and rubbed Temperance's back until she calmed down.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Six months, two weeks later:

Temperance now had a big, pregnant stomach. She walked into her office and grabbed a file before waddling over to Angela's office. She set the file down on Angela's desk and then went back to her office.

Tempe sat down on her couch in the office and sighed. Her back had been sore all day.

It would be about four weeks until her due date, and then she could get rid of this stomach.

Booth had been the biggest help during this time. That was natural though since he was the father.

She closed her eyes and allowed herself to be calm for a moment before she felt a small kick inside her.

Temperance instinctually touched her stomach. "Please let me rest..." she whispered.

Angela walked into her office and sat down beside her. "Hey Brennan."

"It's kicking again..." Tempe said. She and Booth had decided they didn't want to know the sex until the child was born. They had also decided to keep the baby, but they didn't know what they were going to do about living.

She hadn't brought up the idea yet, but Temperance was considering asking Booth to move in with her. She wasn't ready to raise a child on her own.

"Can I feel?" Angela asked, excited.

"Yes," Temperance took Angela's hand and showed her where the baby was kicking.

Angela felt the small baby kick at Temperance's insides. "That's so cute!"

"It doesn't feel cute," Temperance said, flustered, "when you're staying up until two in the morning because you can't sleep because of the kicking or having to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes."

"Brennan," Angela said serious. "You need to find the plus sides to being pregnant. You only think of the negatives!"

"I know I do," Tempe looked down at her huge stomach. "But I didn't really want this baby to begin with."

"You watch, in four weeks when this baby comes, you'll love it more then anything you've ever loved."

"How do you know that?"

Angela gave Brennan a look, one of her looks that meant are you honestly questioning me on a matter that isn't about bones?

Angela shook her head and laughed lightly. "I'm gonna go check out that skull that you got for me."

"Alright," Temperance leaned back in the couch; her back was still sore.

She closed her eyes again as the kicking stopped. Suddenly, she felt the couch underneath her soak and she opened her eyes. "Shit..." she mumbled. "Angela!" she yelled.

"What is it sweetie?" Angela yelled back.

"Umm... I may need a little bit of help here," Tempe yelled back again.

"Why?" Angela asked as she walked back in and she saw the wet couch. "Brennan..."

"My water just broke," Temperance said, taking deep breaths as she tried to calm herself down.

"Ok... ok..." Angela began to hyperventilate.

"Angela, you are not the one who's having a baby," Temperance said. "Don't call Booth yet. Get me to the hospital first, and then we'll call him."

"Ok," Angela helped Tempe up.

"What's goin on?" Hodgins asked as they walked past him.

"My water just broke," Tempe said calmly.

"What?" Hodgins exclaimed and Zach, who was standing near him, looked up at his boss worried.

"Yes, but it's ok. Angela's going to take me to the hospital and then we'll call Booth," Temperance said. "Actually," she said. "Can you call Booth and then meet us down there? You're almost off work anyways aren't you?"

"Yeah, we only have about twenty more minutes," Hodgins said.

"Good," Tempe got into the elevator. When they got down to the parking garage, she walked over to her car. "You drive," she said to Angela.

"Of course!" Angela exclaimed and she grabbed the keys from Tempe.

XXXXXX

Hodgins grabbed his keys for his car and then he picked up his phone from his work station. He dialed Booth's number.

"Booth," Booth answered the phone.

"Hey, dude, you gotta get over to the hospital," Hodgins said as he pulled on his jacket.

"Why? Is Bones ok?" Booth asked worried.

"Well... if by 'ok' you mean her water broke, then yeah, she's fine," Hodgins said.

"Where is she?"

"Angela's taking her to the hospital now. I think Angela was more worried then Brennan," Hodgins said as he waved Goodman and Cam down.

"Ok, I'm gonna go over there. Thanks buddy," Booth said as he hung up.

Goodman and Saroyan walked over to Hodgins.

"What's going on?" Goodman asked.

"Brennan's having her baby so we're taking the last few minutes off," Hodgins said as he pointed for Zach to go to the elevator.

"Brennan's having her baby?" Cam repeated.

"Yeah," Hodgins said as he walked with Zach. "Angela's taking her over there and Booth's meeting us there."

"I'm coming," Cam said. Temperance Brennan wasn't her favourite person, but she didn't hate her.

"We're coming," Goodman corrected.

"Let's go then," Hodgins said.

XXXXXX

Temperance laid on one of the hospital beds. "I didn't need you to speed over here and almost get us killed Angela," she said. She was still flustered from the ride over here. "Just because my car goes fast does not mean you need to take advantage of that."

"I just wanted to get you here as fast as possible," Angela said, leaning back in the uncomfortable chair.

"I wasn't going to have the baby right there, we're going to be here for a while anyways," Tempe said. She then thought of something. "Can you go call Andy for me?"

"Sure, will you be ok if a contraction comes?" Angela asked, beginning to stand up.

"I'll be fine," Temperance said, handing Angela her cell phone which had Andy's number in it.

"Alright," Angela walked out of the room and saw Booth, Hodgins, Zach, Goodman and Cam arguing with a nurse.

"They're coming in with me," Booth said.

"No, they aren't. Not unless she says. She didn't even mention you," the nurse said.

"Hey!" Angela yelled over all of them. "That's the daddy," she pointed at Booth. "And they are all coming in there," she turned and went and called Andy's number.

"Hello," Andy's voice came through the cell.

"Hi, Andy?"

"Speaking," Andy said.

"This is Angela Montenegro, I work with Temperance?" Angela said, pacing back and forth outside.

"Oh, yes, I remember you," Andy said. "How can I help you Angela?"

"Brennan told me to call you and ask you to come down to the hospital, she's having her baby and she'd like you to be here."

"Oh! Of course I'll come!" Andy said and Angela could hear him grabbing his stuff to come down.

"Thanks," Angela said, wanting to go back inside. "See you soon."

"Absolutely!" Andy said. "Bye!"

"Bye," Angela flipped the cell phone shut and went back into the hospital. She went to the nurses station. "If a man named Andy Kelborn comes in, send him to Temperance Brennan's room," she said with a small smile as she walked past and went back into Tempe's room.

18 Hours Later:

Temperance was laying in the bed, trying to get some sort of sleep, even though now with the contractions coming every few minutes that was hard.

They doctor came in. "Alright honey," she said with her heavy New York accent, "let's check you again..."

The doctor checked what Temperance was at.

"You ready?" she asked. "You're at 10," she said with a small smile. "We've checked everything and the baby looks like it'll go perfect by natural birth if that's what you want."

Temperance nodded as another contraction swept over her body.

"Alright, I'm going to have to ask anybody who is not the father to leave," the doctor said. Three nurses and Booth stayed behind with her but the rest of the people that had been in there left.

"You're ready?" the doctor asked.

Temperance nodded again and then shook her head.

"Sweetie, you're going to have to be ready," the doctor told her, as she touched Tempe's knee.

"You can do this Temperance," Booth said, taking her hand.

Tempe nodded a third time. "I'm ready," she squeaked.

"Here we go, I need you to follow my instructions ok?" the doctor said. "You're going to push for 10 seconds, and then release. You'll do this when I tell you to though," she said.

"Alright," Temperance squeezed Booth's hand as a contraction hit.

"Push now," the doctor said and she began counting down from 10. "Good job," she said with a small smile to Temperance. "And... again, push now," she repeated the step a few times until finally, the baby's head was out.

After about five minutes, the baby was completely out of Temperance. "Daddy? You wanna cut the umbilical cord?" the doctor asked.

Booth nodded and went and cut the umbilical cord from his small child and his girlfriend.

"Move in with me," Temperance said quickly to Booth.

"What?" Booth asked, surprised.

"Move in with me, I can't raise this baby alone, I need you," she was trying to get her mind off the pain that she had just gone through and the shock that her body was in.

"You want me to move in with you?"

"Yes, move in with me," Temperance repeated again.

"Of course I will," Booth kissed Temperance.

"Congratulations parents!" the doctor said as she walked back over with a small white bundle. "You have a healthy, 6.7 pound daughter."

Temperance took the small bundle and looked at it as two little hazel eyes opened up and looked at her.

In that moment, Temperance realized that Angela had been right. This child was the one thing in the world that held Temperance's heart in a tight grip.

"What are we going to call her?" Booth asked looking at his daughter.

"What about..." Temperance thought about some of the names she and Booth had come up with. "What about Teneniel Christine Booth?"

"Why my last name?" Booth asked. "You carried her, you gave birth to her, we should use your last name."

"Fine, what about Teneniel Christine Brennan Booth?"

"I can deal with that," Booth said with a smile.

"Do you want to hold her?"

"Of course I do," Booth took their daughter from his girlfriend and looked at her innocent face.

"Doctor? On your way out could you tell them to come in?" Temperance asked the doctor.

"Your friends?" she asked.

Temperance nodded.

"Of course," the doctor walked out and got Brennan and Booth's friends.

"Oh my god! Brennan!" Angela squealed when she came inside the room. "Is that her? Can I see her?"

"Yes Angela," Tempe said with a yawn.

"She is so cute!" Angela held the child against her and Hodgins stood beside her. "Oh Hodgie.. I want a baby," she said giving him a small pout.

"Not right now," Hodgins said, looking at the small baby and imagining his and Angela's baby.

"Congratulation's Temperance," Andy said with a smile.

"Thank you Andy," Tempe said, smiling slightly.

"I suppose this isn't the best timing, but I should tell you, I'm leaving DC tomorrow," Andy told her.

"What?" Temperance asked, suddenly awake.

"Yes, I'm going to LA. Me and Trina are going there to start our own family," Andy told her. Trina was his new girlfriend.

"Oh, well I'm happy for..." Temperance yawned again, "you."

"You should get some sleep. I have to go home. Goodbye Temperance," Andy kissed her forehead.

"Goodbye Andy..." Temperance closed her eyes and allowed sleep to succumb her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Five Years Later:

It was Teneniel's fifth birthday. Temperance and Booth had been living together, happily unmarried and Teneniel was ok with her parents not being actually married.

Actually, she really didn't understand.

Temperance was sitting in Booth and her room and was wrapping her daughter's birthday present.

She wrapped the microscope and set it aside before wrapping the one from Booth.

To Booth's surprise, Teneniel had fallen in love with science. Temperance wasn't completely surprised. She had brought Teneniel to work a lot when she was little.

Temperance began to wrap Booth's gift. She laughed when he had brought it in. It was a small thing, really small. It was a little plastic horse, just like the one Booth had bought Temperance six years ago.

She finished wrapping the last two gifts and got up. She then went out of the room and saw her daughter who was sitting with her friends and Angela and Hodgins' baby.

"Teneniel? Would you like to open your presents?" Temperance asked as she walked up to them. "And then you can have cake and we'll do the piƱata."

"Yay!" Teneniel jumped up and ran over to where Temperance was. She sat down and her friends formed a circle with her.

"Alright..." Temperance grabbed a sprite bottle that had some sand in it and she set it in front of Teneniel. "There you go sweetheart," she got up and stood beside Booth, who wrapped an arm around her waist. They had been together for five and a half years, and Booth had not once brought up the idea of marriage.

Temperance rested her head on Booth's shoulder and watched as her daughter tore the paper off the first gift from her friend. It was a doll for her collection. "Oh that's so cool!" Teneniel exclaimed happily.

"Let's see sweetie," Temperance leaned down and her daughter handed her the doll. "That's really pretty," she said, looking at the doll's face.

Next was the gift from Angela, Hodgins and their daughter Elaina.

Angela sat behind Elaina, who was only three years old. Hodgins and Angela were expecting their third child soon. Angela's stomach was now huge, because she was eight months pregnant.

"What did they get you?" Temperance asked from where she was standing.

"It's an ant farm!" Teneniel said, amazed. She had always wanted one since Hodgins and Angela had gotten one for Parker when he turned 10.

Parker was sitting near his half sister. "Hey maybe I can help you with that," he said. Parker was 12 now, well... almost. He was turning twelve in three months.

"Yeah!" Teneniel hugged her brother and then opened the next present.

Zach was next. He got Teneniel a small skeleton book that told you all about the bones in the body.

After Zach was Goodman who gave Teneniel a necklace that had a small arrowhead on it.

Cam came last. She gave Teneniel a movie that she knew she didn't have. It was the original version of Black Beauty.

This continued for about 15 minutes. After she had finished unwrapping each gift, Teneniel got up and hugged everybody there.

"You have a couple more presents hun," Temperance said, taking the ones that Booth, Parker and her had bought. "This ones from Daddy, this ones from me, and this ones from Parker."

Temperance watched her daughter open the one from Parker. It was a book on baby animals, which Teneniel had fallen in love with like most children do.

Next, Teneniel opened the one from her dad. She had been asking her dad if they could get a horse one day, and when she opened it, she was confused. "What is it? Does it get really big so I can ride it?'

"Sweetie, you know the pig that I have on my shelf?" Temperance asked her daughter.

"Jasper?" Teneniel asked.

"Yes, Jasper," Tempe said.

"Yep I know him," Teneniel said happily.

"Daddy got him for me too," Temperance said with a smile. "This one's for you, it's the pony you've been asking for."

"Really?" Teneniel sounded amazed.

"Yes, really," Tempe said.

"Thanks Daddy!" Teneniel got up and hugged her father.

"You're welcome princess," Booth said and he kissed his daughter's forehead. "I think your mom has one more present."

"Ok," Teneniel went back to her mother.

"Here you go," Temperance handed Teneniel a large box that was quite heavy.

"It's heavy," Teneniel said.

Temperance took it and set it on the floor. "There you go."

"Thank you," Teneniel began to unwrap it.

Temperance watched with Parker and Booth. She smiled as her daughter's face lit up.

"It's a microscope! It's a microscope!" Teneniel exclaimed. She looked at the microscope happily. "Thank you mommy!" she jumped up and hugged her mother.

Booth leaned over and whispered in Tempe's ear: "I didn't know you got her a microscope..."

"Of course I did," Temperance whispered back. "She asked for one."

"Just because she asked doesn't mean you get it," Booth told her.

"She's old enough to use it if she has help while she's using it," Temperance said. "I had my first when I was five."

"Alright, I just don't want you turning our daughter into a squint," Booth said as Teneniel walked back to her friends.

"Of course I won't," Temperance said with a smile. "Booth," she began. "I know you have a ring in your jacket pocket," she said. "I wasn't snooping, I was looking for my wallet one day."

"You found that?" Booth asked, gulping.

"Yes," Temperance said.

"You know that I was going to ask you to marry me then?"

"I didn't know that for sure, but I guessed so," Tempe said with a nod.

"Ok, come with me," he grabbed the box out of his jacket and took her to the balcony.

He knelt down in front of her, "Temperance Brennan, we're practically married anyways, I love you more then anything, please, please marry me?" he knelt down in front of her.

Temperance couldn't stop the huge smile that appeared on her face. "Seeley," she began.

"If not, don't worry, I'll wait. I'll wait forever for you Temperance," Booth said.

"No," she said quickly. "I will, I will marry you," Tempe beamed. "I... I've been thinking about it for the last few weeks, and I think... We have a daughter together, and we've lived together for so long, I was going to ask you until I found that ring yesterday..."

"You were going to ask me to marry you?"

"Yes..."

"But? Why didn't you?"

"I told you, I found the ring."

"That isn't the only thing," Booth said as he stood up to look at her.

"What are you talking about? Of course it is."

"No, there's another reason..." Booth looked at her.

"What is it?"

"You wanted to be the girl."

"What? If I had wanted to ask you to marry me I would've. It has nothing to do with whether I'm a girl or not."

"Yes it does, you wanted me to ask you, and you wanted it to be old fashioned."

Temperance tried not to blush, but it didn't work. He had caught her. She had always dreamed that she would be proposed to by somebody she truly loved, that she would have a fairy tale wedding.

Booth leaned down and kissed her. He then took the ring out of the box and placed it on Temperance's finger. " 'Till death do us part," he said with a smile and then he kissed her again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Two Months Later on the Day of the Wedding (August 13th):

Temperance looked over at Angela. "How do I look?" she asked with a smile.

"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Angela giggled. "Except... of course our little girls."

Temperance blushed slightly. She pulled the veil down over her face and the crystal tiara that was holding her veil in place. She looked in the mirror again.

Her dress was pure white and the small crystals that were at the bottom of it shimmered in the evening sun. Her hair was also glimmering with the crystals that were in it, it was pulled back in a delicate bun and extra pieces were dangling around her happy face.

Her sleeves of her dress flowed down along her arms and the length of the material gave them a fairytale look. The front of her neckline was a strait line and the length of the gown itself was perfect for her, it went down to her feet and was perfectly symmetrical all the way around it. The back of the neckline dropped down to her mid back.

The crystal necklace glimmered and made her look even more luminescent.

"Are you ready?" Angela asked, her own dress was perfect for her. Her dress was periwinkle blue, and it matched Cam's dress.

The two little girls were wearing matching pink dresses.

"I think so, yes," Temperance took a deep breath. "I'm so nervous Ange..."

"That's natural," Angela said. She had been married a few years ago.

"Ok, I'm ready."

Temperance and Booth were to be married in a church, and they would have the after party, or some of it outside. That was the plus side to having your wedding in the summer.

Temperance, Angela, Cam, Teneniel and Elaina got in position, as well as Parker who was the ring bearer.

Temperance watched as her daughter, near future step son, best friend, best friends daughter and close friend walked up the aisle before her.

When it was her turn, Temperance felt worried. She wished that Angela could've come with her.

Most women had their father's bring them up the aisle, but since her father was MIA, she would have to go up alone.

Temperance walked up the aisle and saw Booth. At the moment their eyes connected, she didn't worry about anything anymore. She just walked up to him and he held her hand as the marriage ceremony went on.

She was so happy, and it was hard to believe that she was here.

After a few minutes, the priest said the famous line. "You may now kiss the bride."

Booth pulled her veil back and they shared the most passionate kiss that they ever had. When they pulled away from each other, Dr. Temperance Brennan became Dr/Mrs. Temperance Brennan Booth.

She smiled at her new husband who she would spend the rest of her life with.

But, that wasn't a surprise to anybody she knew.

She looked over at her children, Parker and Teneniel, and felt more at home then she ever had.

This was her family, all the people here. They were her family. They walked outside into the large tent that they had set up that had all the tables in it.

Just because somebody is your biological family, doesn't mean you love them, Temperance looked over at Hodgins and Angela who were coddling their new son, Derik.

Tempe was in love. And that didn't just mean she was in love with Booth either, she was in love with everybody who had been there for her through thick and thin.

Booth, Teneniel, Parker, Angela, Hodgins, Zach, Goodman, Andy and even Cam, she loved them all.

This was the most perfect day Temperance Brennan Booth had ever had.

As she began the dancing with her new husband, Temperance saw Parker and Teneniel. She knew that Parker was going to make sure that Teneniel was going to be safe the whole night.

Like father like son, she thought as she started to dance with Booth.

He leaned down and whispered three words in her ear.

She smiled and nodded. "I love you too."
