BONES, CHARACTERS AND THE SONG I DO (CHERISH YOU) DO NOT BELONG TO ME.
CHAPTER 12: CATCHING THE KIDNAPPER…
SIX MONTHS LATER…
BOOTH'S P.O.V.
"Are you ready to get married the day after tomorrow?" I asked as we got ready for bed. "Yes, I'm glad we took the time to get to know each other again." Bones replied. "Me to," I said pulling Bones into my arms.
"Booth, you know my opinion on marriage." Bones said. "I know, but you are the mother of my child and..." I started to say.
"Rebecca is also the mother of your child." Bones pointed out and I had to laugh.
"Yes, but I'm glad she turned my proposal down. So you and I could get together." I replied.
TWO DAYS LATER…
BOOTH AND BRENNAN'S WEDDING…
"Do you Seely Booth take Temperance Brennan to be your wife; to have and to hold, in sickness and in health? Until death do you part," The preacher asked.
"I do." I replied looking into Bones' eyes. "Do you..." The preacher began turning to Bones, but was interrupted…
"Zach, come back." I heard Max say and looked over.
Zach was walking over and came to stand between Bones and me. So I picked him up.
"...Take Seely Booth to be your husband; to have and to hold, in sickness and in health? Until death do you part," The preacher continued as if there had been no interruption.
"I do." Bones said looking at me.
"I now pronounce you man and wife, you..." The preacher began, but I kissed Bones before he could finish.
"I now give you the Booth family." The preacher said and everyone clapped.
Bones threw the bouquet and it landed in Angela's hands.
THE RECEPTION…
I took Bones by the hand and led her to the dance floor. While Max kept an eye on Zach, as the song of Hot Blooded began to play.
"I don't think I've ever been so happy, except when Zach was born!" Bones told me. "Didn't I once tell you? Having kids changes everything?" I asked. "Yes, you did!" Bones replied and a few minutes later the song ended.
"I never thought I would want to spend my life with anyone, but I'm glad we met." Bones told me. "But you still don't believe in fate, right?" I asked and Bones just looked at me.
At one point Bones pointed out Angela and Hodgins dancing.
"Come on, let's cut the cake." I suggested.
The cake was cut and toasts were made. Pretty soon the reception slowed down and ended.
Zach was going to stay with Russ and Amy while Bones and I went on our honeymoon.
A FEW WEEKS LATER…
FRIDAY MORNING…
BRENNAN'S P.O.V.
Booth and I have returned from our honeymoon and are on our way to pick up Zach.
"Hey Tempe, Booth." Russ said stepping back to let us in. "Hey, Russ." I said.
Amy brought Zach out of the bedroom and handed him to me.
"He just had a nap and a diaper change, so he's already to go." Amy told me. "Thanks for watching Zach." I said taking him into my arms. "Hey, little man, your mom and I missed you." Booth told Zach. "When do you go back to work?" Russ asked.
"Monday," Booth and I said together.
"What are you going to do with, Zach?" Amy asked. "I've hired a nanny and for a few days they will be at the lab so I know I can trust her," Bones, I already told you. I ran a background check and checked her references." Both replied.
"I know. I just want to make sure Zach will be okay with her." I responded. "Well I guess we better go. I still have to pick up, Parker." Booth said.
"All right, see you later." Russ said as Booth and I left.
A few minutes later we reached Rebecca's and I stayed in the SUV with Zach, while Booth went to get Parker.
They came out a few minutes later.
"Hey, Bones." Parker said. "Hey Parker," I said as he buckled up and Booth got into the driver's seat. "Is everybody ready?" Booth asked. "Yeah," Parker replied leaning over to say hi to Zach.
We soon got home and had dinner, then after a couple of movies put the boys to bed; leaving only Booth and I up to talk.
The rest of the weekend flew by. We took Parker and Zach to the park and the zoo.
Monday finally came around and it was time to go back to work. I was in my office, with Zach in his playpen and the nanny sitting on the couch doing some college work when Booth came in.
"Come on, Bones. We think we caught the person responsible for kidnapping Zach." Booth told me. "All right, will you be okay with Zach?" I asked.
"Yes, I'll stay here if that's okay. Or I could take him back to your apartment and watch him there." Annie answered.
"No, you can stay here. I should be back in a little while." I said and followed Booth out the door.
F.B.I. HEADQUATERS…
Booth and I watched through a two way mirror as the suspect was questioned and finally confessed.
"I only took him because my husband said the child should've been his and not her boyfriend's. My husband is obsessed with her and has read all of her books. He said if I didn't do what he told me, that he would kill me." The woman replied.
I walked out of the room and headed for the interrogation room, but Booth stopped me.
"Bones, you can't go in there." Booth said as he turned me around. "I'm going to find out who her husband is and then I'm going to kick both of their butts for taking my son." I said.
"He's my son to and you don't need any more assault charges added to your record. Her husband was in a car wreck six months ago. That's why Zach was in the hospital." Booth told me and I knew he was right.
"You're right." I said with a sigh. "You mean I won that argument?" Booth asked.
NINE MONTHS LATER…
BOOTH'S P.O.V.
"All right, Bones, one more push," I encouraged as Bones gave one final push, bringing our daughter into the world. "Hello, Christine Samantha Booth." Bones whispered after the doctor had clean her up and handed her to Bones.
"Bones, you're crying." I said noticing the tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm just so happy." Bones said as everyone came in bringing Parker and Zach with them.
I now had two sons and a daughter.
THE END
