Here is my epilogue. For those of you who found the ending to abrupt or not satisfying. I hope this helps. For those of you who liked it- thank you:)

Enjoy!


He made her breakfast in the morning and any lingering doubts they may have had when they woke up, completely vanished. She informed him that not since her mother left, had anyone ever made her breakfast. At least not without a fiscal transaction. In that moment he realized that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making her breakfast and she silently admitted the same to herself.

A couple days later she returned to Chicago to get her affairs in order before making the move back to DC. He had offered to go with her, but she reluctantly declined realizing that she would be much more productive without the distraction.

For his part, he assumed that she would move back into her old building when she returned, but quickly found out he was wrong. Instead she found a penthouse loft that was four times the size of her previous apartment, with a view that overlooked the capital. This of course led to their first fight.

He thought it was pretentious.

She wanted to buy it.

In her mind she was making the grand gesture of purchasing a dwelling that they could one day both share, but to him she was saying that she wasn't taking the possible advancement of their relationship into any decisions for her future. He also didn't like being reminded she was a millionaire and that he wasn't.

So they fought.

Eventually, however, she realized that she wasn't moving back to DC for real estate and he accepted that it wasn't up to him to tell her how to spend her money. A lease for one year was signed and after that year they would revaluate.

From there, it was generally smooth sailing. Brennan returned back to her old position at the Jeffersonian, and Booth was right there along side her. Only this time there was flirting, goofy smiles and hand holding. They were so nauseatingly cute together that all their colleagues began to wonder why on earth they'd spent so many year trying to push the to of them together. Then one morning Booth made her late for a crime scene which caused the body to be transfer incorrectly... they stopped being overtly sweet to one another after that and returned to normal.

For six months things worked out pretty well. Occasionally he would leave his clothes on the floor or dirty dishes in the sink. She'd stay at the lab too late or set an alarm for seven am on a Saturday morning. Mostly, though, things were pretty great and to celebrate six successful months, Booth convinced her to take a trip with him. That's when they took the next big turn.

"I forgot to pack my birth control."

"You did?"

"Yes. Do you... Should we go out and grab an alternative form of contraception? Or we could maybe try... Risking it."

Temperance Brennan wasn't a liar, but she was lying. He knew very well that she she didn't forget her birth control. She left it. And she didn't want to see if he was up for trying to risk it, she wanted to see if he was ready to start trying.

Yes was the easy answer. Even though he was Catholic and he wasn't supposed to be doing this out of wedlock, of course yes. He wasn't going to force her into marriage by dangling a baby over her head and being as they weren't getting any younger, why not now. Yes. Yes. A million times yes. So they started trying that moment and nearly every free moment of their vacation... which a lot.

A few weeks later they received the news that they could stop trying. It was done. Suddenly, there were new things to bicker about and compromises to be made. Never in their life, though, had they found themselves so happy. This time it was theirs, and they weren't on the outside looking in. New family. New life.

Now they laid next to one another in the bed they'd purchased in the home they'd made, beside the tiny baby they'd created. Spooned together they watched the bassinet that carried their daughter on her first night of life.

"I'm so tired, but I don't want to stop looking at her. She's so beautiful."

"Just like her mother," He kissed her temple. "You were incredible today."

"After nine months of pregnancy and then labor... I find myself still having difficulty believing that she's really here."

"She'll still be here in the morning. Get some sleep, Bones. Believe me, there will be plenty of sleepless nights ahead of us."

"... You're correct. I just..."

"I'll stay up and watch her a little longer, okay? I'll wake you if I need to."

"Okay."

"Goodnight, Bones. Love you."

"I love you, too. I love you, too, Christine."

In the morning, he made breakfast.


Thats it. Thanks to all of you who've read and reviewed. I can't tell you how appreciated it is!

As far as future stories, I had one chapter started for a 8-9 hiatus, but I've realized its to difficult to write. I have lot of scenes I'd like to write, but no real story. So I'm leaving it as a one shot.

I'd still like to write something, though. So please send me some ideas or prompts!

Thanks again everyone!
