One Night (Continued)

It is the day before Tempe and Booth's wedding and Tessa hasn't made any more appearances. Booth sent her an invitation to the wedding, just to make her mad.

Tempe was at her apartment tonight. She told Booth, if she was living in his house a week before they got married, she had to stay somewhere else the night before the wedding. She said it wasn't romantic anymore if she woke up next to him the day they got married. Angela was there helping Tempe try on her dress. It was a beautiful, long, white dress that had a four-foot train. It had long, see-through sleeves and showed off a lot of her shoulders with the v-neck. The skirt had five layers. The top of the dress, above her waist, had two different materials. The silky white material covered all of the dress; the front had a see-through material that had tiny beads sewn into it.

"Tempe, you look beautiful. I still can't believe you're getting married tomorrow. And to Booth, too." Angela said, about to cry.

"I still can't believe it either. But, I'm just so happy." Tempe said, crying tears of joy from behind her hair and smoothing out her dress. Due to the mark she got from the stitches, she had to come up with a hairstyle that covered her forehead. After hours of searching, she finally found one. Most of her hair was curled into tight curls. The part in the front that wasn't curled, covered her forehead. When the phone rang, Angela went to get for Tempe. It was Booth. Angela handed the phone to Tempe.

"Hello…yes… I'm doing fine… I'm trying it on right now… I'll be there in half an hour… see you there." She hangs up the phone. "He wants to me to come home for something special." She told Angela when she walked back into the room.

"Are you going to go?" Angela said.

"Yeah, I told him I'd meet him there in half an hour. I just have to get out of this dress first." She said, un-zipping the zipper.

"Here, let me help you with that." Angela said, helping her friend out of the dress.

Tempe got out of the car and walked up the sidewalk to the door. She was just about to ring the doorbell when the door opened.

"Hey, come here, I've got something to show you." He said, grabbing her hand and pulling her inside.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did you want me to come over?" she asked him when they sat on the couch.

"What, I'm not aloud to see my fiancé the day before the wedding? There isn't a rule against that, is there?" he asked, moving closer and pulling her into a hug. She hugged him back and then kissed him.

"I guess I can stay for a little while. I don't think there is a rule against that." Tempe said, kissing him again. She ended up staying and watching a movie with him. They both fell asleep during the movie. When she woke up, he was still sleeping. She didn't want to wake him, so she wrote him a note:

Booth,

I wish I could've stayed longer. I have to get back to my apartment. I will see you tomorrow at the wedding. You mean so much to me and I can't wait to marry you, go on a honeymoon, and spend the rest of my life with you. Just remember that I will always love you.

With Love,

Tempe

When Booth woke up, Tempe wasn't there. He looked at the clock. 12:37. She must have gone to her apartment before the wedding. He wasn't very tired anymore. He got up to get a snack when he found the note. He read it and felt as if he were going to cry. This little note meant so much to him. He called her cell phone. She had her phone at the apartment disconnected. He got the voice mail. "You have reached Temperance Brennan. Please leave a message after the beep…beep."

"Hey Tempe. It's me. I got your note. I just wanted you to know that I love you too, and I can't wait to start a life with you either. See you tomorrow. Love you, bye."

With that he went to bed and woke up again, the day of the wedding.

"Time to get married." He said to himself as he awoke and went to get ready.
