*2016 Winner MFA Awards Favorite Bones fanfic* Booth & Brennan, two sons & a daughter, friends & family and a life lived happily-ever-after. Told in random non-linear snippets. Expect warm and funny, poignant and touching, and a lot of fluff and stuff. Rated T for occasional creative cursing. AU - This story does not follow canon after S-7.

It's Hole in the Heart, minus Broadsky, eerie music, and dead squints. What's left, you ask? Well, plenty it turns out, particularly the tidbits that didn't quite make it off the cutting room floor. Takes place after The Signs in the Silence. T, for now.

Brennan's trip to Maluku is cut off suddenly after she gets the devastating news of Booth's demise in Afghanistan. Knowing she's lost him forever, she decides to give the world one last part of him - his child. But life never goes as you plan and tragedy strikes once more in the most unsuspected place, changing not only Brennan's life but all those around her too. AU. Post-S5. BB.
