Read this chapter too it's not identical the one before it. Just a reminder. I don't own the show or the songs.
Chapter 24 –
Awake – Booth:The cake was delicious. I managed to feed it to Bones without getting everywhere, she however managed to get cake on most of my face, but she cleaned it up. Once the cake was served, I whisked her out onto the dance floor, whispering, "Let's test out those dancing skills of yours Bones,"
"Booth, we never picked out a song for this, Angela probably pick out something ridiculous." She looked distraught.
"Bones, surely you know better than that. I pick something out that I believe fits us perfectly. Promise me you'll listen to the lyrics for me." I'd picked the song out, and hoped she loved it.
I had her in the middle of the dance floor, with one arm on holding her waist and the other her hand, when the music started. The lyrics began, as we we're dancing our way around the floor, everyone watching.
Awake – Josh Groban
A beautiful and blinding morning
The world outside begins to breathe
See clouds arriving without warning
I need you here to shelter me
And I know that only time will tell us how
To carry on without each other
So keep me awake to memorize you
Give me more time to feel this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
If I could make these moments endless
If I could stop the winds of change
If we just keep our eyes wide open
Then everything would stay the same
And I know that only time will tell me how
We'll carry on without each other
So keep me awake for every moment
Give us more time to be this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
We'll let tomorrow wait, you're here, right now, with me
All my fears just fall away, when you are all I see
We can't stay like this forever
But I have you here today
And I will remember
Oh I will remember
Remember all the love we shared today.
That song reminds me of every moment with her, I was always afraid I wouldn't have another. Her head was tucked into my neck, and her arms were around my neck. I was just holding her to my chest as we swayed in spot. I felt her tears on my neck and lifted her chin with my fingers before brushing away the tears and a strand of hair. I kissed her lightly, "I love you more than life itself Bones."
Smiling now, "I know, I love you immeasurable too, Booth." The she kissed me deeply.
The DJ came on and announced, "It's time for the the father-daughter, dance."
Max came up, "May I have this dance, Temperance?" I wasn't ready to let her go, but I figured the sooner everyone got it out to their system, dancing with the bride, the sooner I'd have her back. So I nodded and kissed the palm of her hand before I released her and walked over to talk to Hodgins.
"Hey man thanks for giving a speech." I gave him a smile before I hugged him.
"Not a problem it was my honor." We stood on the edge watching Bones and Max glide around the floor. "She looks beautiful, man. I so happy you guys finally got together." He told me sincerely.
"She does look beautiful. We were going to get together eventually. I just had to convince her of a whole slew of relationship things first." I laughed
"And get the guts to ask her out."
"Well that too." The music was winding down, "Hey go ask her for the next dance, I'm going to see if Angela will dance with me."
"Sure man, see you later, congrats again." And he walked onto to the dance floor. I turned and found Angela talking to Sweets.
"Hey guys, Sweets make sure you get the next dance with Bones." He looked a little flustered at that but I knew she had questions for him and the dance would be an excellent time to ask.
"Sure, Agent Booth." He managed to respond.
I turned to Angela, "Can I have this dance?" I offered her my hand.
"Sure thing sweetie and she grabbed my hand talking me out onto the floor.
"Angela, thanks so much for everything, and I don't just mean the wedding, I mean the poking you did for all those years as well." I smiled, hoping she knew I was being serious.
"Booth, it was all my pleasure. Besides you finally got together just when I was giving up hope." She smiled we danced the rest of the song laughing about all the times she had commented on something that Bones and I did that she thought made us act like a couple long before we were one.
The music ended and Hodgins came to dance with Angela. I watched Sweets approach Bones, before I turned and found exactly who I was looking for, Caroline Julian. "Caroline would you dance with me please."
"Of course Cheri, how could I refuse you on your wedding day?"
When we got out on the floor and were settled in a rhythm, I look at her, "Caroline, do you remember that you had Bones and I kiss under the mistletoe?" I was smiling remembering it.
"Yes, I do. Why?"
"Well, Bones said it was because you were feeling puckish, but I was wondering if there was an ulterior motive." I asked.
"I was feeling puckish, I wanted to see if you two kissed that the chemistry would catch or it wouldn't. I didn't think that you actually would do it." She laughed now, "There you were under the mistletoe kissing like there was tomorrow. I was shocked. Booth and his honest to god genius actually had chemistry. I couldn't believe you hadn't done anything before then."
"The look on your face was priceless, I have to admit. You looked like you'd been hit by a freight train when she said it was like kissing her brother."
"Well you didn't look, like you believe her, either."
"I didn't I couldn't imagine she'd use tongue with Russ." I laughed remembering that I'd ended up with her gum.
The music was winding down, "Well Cheri, I'm happy for you. You treat her right, you hear me."
"It's not going to be a problem Caroline. Not a problem." I assured her.
"Good," She walked away leaving me to find my Bones.
I came up as I heard Sweets say, "It's in everyone's best interest." I pulled her back into my arms; she was mine for the rest of the night. "How are you Mrs. Brennan" I knew that she didn't want to take my name, at least when we were working.
"Wonderful and Seeley in instances like this you can call me Mrs. Booth. How are you?"
I grinned, "Fabulous, Mrs. Booth" and kissed her.
"Booth, can we sit down for a minute?"
"Sure, you can't be tired already?" I didn't want her to be tired in anyway.
"No I just need a break and to spend a quiet moment with you, on our wedding day."
I led her outside to a bench sitting amongst the rose bushes. We sat still holding hands. "Booth, have you had a chance to examine your ring."
"No, not yet, although it feels perfect right where it is." Now that I had it on, I didn't want to think of it being anywhere else. To please her I pulled it off for a better look. I was examining when I saw what she had inscribed to the inside of the band. "Anthropologically speaking…"
"It's there to remind you of why we're perfect every day," She told me.
"I don't need it when I'm with you but, when were separated it will have to suffice for the real thing," I kissed her, it was so sweet.
Ok so i realize that the ends of the chapters are the same to but the middles different. I hope you liked it. Reviews? please and thank you.
There's another 5 chapters after this, one Brennan, one Booth, one The Squints, one Parker, and one outside point of view.
