Before I begin I realize that the site is being weird so I hope those of you that this on alert can read and those that lurk will have to wait for the site to work to read this.
I'm going to admit that when I started writing this, it wasn't not going anywhere near where it ended up. But it did and as a result it's a little weird and definitely not my best work by any means. But as it's less than two days till the premiere i though i'd post for all of you, no matter how bad i think it is. Don't get me wrong i like it but it's just not my favorite.
Still don't own it nor the song that's mentioned.
Regal
I don't know when it started or why I started, but I did. I watch her now whenever she does anything, I love watching her when she is on the platform, typing on her computer, in the field, in Sweets office, in the interrogation room, when we're at the dinner, or watching TV on my couch. She just has this air about her that makes it impossible to not watch her.
Regal is what it is. It's the way she hold her head when she'd standing up for herself, chin up hair tossed back and a look of determination. Or when she's explaining something to me that she's fairly certain I already know but is humoring me, she smiles softly and tilts her head to the side and places her hand on my arm as she corrects me. When she tries to apologizes to me for something she accidently said that created a rough patch between us, she says her awkwardly worded but the effort and honesty behind her words shines in her eyes and her posture relaxes.
Now I'm standing in the doorway to her office just watching her work on her computer. She's leaning back in the chair fingers flying over the keyboard; she's working on her next book. The ring on her left hand flashes every time she hits a key letting the light catch it just right. She pauses and looks at the screen for a minute using her mouse to make a few quick changes. Right now, she looks stunning, she doesn't slouch at her computer, like most do, and instead she sits with that perfect posture that she always seems to have, focused solely on the task in front of her.
She clicks that save button on the document as the screen changes the light catches her ring on her hand. She pauses to study it for a moment, I'm not sure what she's thinking about but it sends me right back to the day that she'd agreed to marry me. I hadn't planned anything romantic; actually, I hadn't planned for it at all the question had just slipped out when she was laughing at something Parker had told her. The sight of her with my son getting along with him so well, it just formed the perfect picture of what I believed a family was, so when Parker ran off to do god knows what she turned to me with a soft smile and I walked up and wrapped my arms around her waist and just asked, "Bones will you marry me?" She didn't look confused or panicked like she did when I told her I loved her the first time her smile just broadened and she kissed me before she said yes.
I'd taken her ring shopping a week later, letting her pick out her own ring. I thought he was going to pick out a ring that wasn't really an engagement ring at all but she would be happy with, something funky and possibly clunky to go with her necklaces and earrings. But she dragged me to the engagement ring section and picked out a unique ring, but it was definitely an engagement ring diamonds and all.
Now she was studying the same ring on her hand. I couldn't see her face so I wasn't sure what she was thinking but I didn't want it to go too far if it wasn't good so I walked into the room and dropped a kiss on her cheek before looking at the ring. "It looks absolutely regal sitting on your hand you know that right? Queen's wished their hands looked like yours do."
She chuckled so her thoughts must not have been too deep, "Booth, Queen's have far more regal jewelry that this and they've never seen my hands." She turned the chair around and smiled at me as she stands, and brushes a kiss on my cheek, "What are you doing here I thought we were meeting at the dinner with Parker?"
"We are Rebecca's just running late so I thought I'd come get you and see how your last full day as Dr. Temperance Brennan was?" I settled my hands on her hips.
She swatted me lightly, "I'm stilling going to be Dr. Temperance Brennan Booth!... but I get what you mean." She now allowed her hands to settle on my arms her thumbs stroking softly. "Not bad I finished a case from limbo, all of the left over paper work, a chapter of my book, and I went and got my dress."
"Do I get to see?"
A giggle spilled out of her, "Not until tomorrow, Angela insists it's a tradition that I must adhere to, she says that it's bad luck and as far as she's concerned. According to her the fact that it took nearly eight years for us to figure it out is enough bad luck for any one."
"Fine, I'll just wait in suspense. Did you do anything else…?" She looked at me with a puzzled look, she never forgets anything. "…like picking a song for our first dance?"
"Oh" her face lit up with excitement, as she turned to computer and opened iTunes pressing play on a song, before turning back to me, "Care to practice?" She extended her hand to me.
The dulcet tones of Your Guardian Angel filled the room as I took her hand and we began to sway. This was the song that I'd taken the beginning of my vow from, which I had told Angela explaining how it filled the room now. "It's perfect Bones." I pulled her closer. "It's true you know."
She pressed a kiss to my jaw and the let her head fall to my shoulder. "I know." We swayed in place until the the end of the song, as the music faded way she whispered, "I love you."
The music ended and we stood there for a moment before she pulled away. "We better go meet Parker and then I have to go to Angela's since apparently she won't let us sleep in the same bed the night before our wedding.
Dinner was eventful, Parker kept going on, and on about his tux and the fact that he got to carry the rings because he was best man. Bones let him go telling him about all the people coming and the family vacation we were planning to take him on at the end of summer, and I just watched their infectious gossiping and ate my pie.
Before I knew it we were standing up to leave, she was telling me that she'll see me tomorrow, and I better look sharp. I kissed her good bye and hauled the now sleeping parker into my arms and out to the car.
Hours later I lay in our bed wishing that, she was here so that then I could at least get some sleep, holding the pillow that smelled like brown sugar and chocolate wasn't enough, when I heard a key in the lock. Thinking it was Jared coming in from whatever adventure he had had tonight, as long as he was good to go in the morning I didn't care, I rolled over. What I didn't expect was the covers to lift and her body to slid in alongside my, or the the kiss to the shoulder blade.
I instantly rolled over, "Bones, what are you doing here? Aren't you staying at Angela's?"
She smiled and snuggled up to my body, "As far as she knows I am staying with her. But I couldn't sleep and it looks like you couldn't either and I would want either of us be sleep deprived tomorrow."
I smiled, and wrapped my arms around her. "Sounds good to me." I dropped a kiss on her forehead and we both drifted into sleep. When I woke the next morning she was gone but there was a note on the table telling me she'd see me later, she'd be the one in white. I smiled at her use of a saying she'd heard before before getting out of bed to wake up Parker.
Nine hours later, I stood in the gardens of the Hodgins estate with Parker, Jared, and Hodgins next to me, a crowd in front of me, Cam, Angela, and Amy off to my right, and a justice of the peace behind me. I was nervous for a moment wondering what came next when the music changed and there she was. Regal in the cream lace dress as she came gliding towards me.
She reached the front and the service began and when we reached our vows I went first, "I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever, I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven, because you're my true love, my whole heart…"
