Alrighty, well I take from the three reviews that I got for the last chapter that this story has definitely run it's course, so I will be wrapping it up as quickly as possible. Sorry for dragging it out this long, I didn't realize everyone had lost interest.

Disclaimer: I'm not even gonna bother.

The entire group sat in suspense as Booth recounted the tale, from the end of the non-wedding to the most recent reunion. The ups and downs, the running and the hiding, he left out the cuddling but most people got the picture. Jaws were slackened when Booth finally wrapped it up.

"Wow, that is just insane." Stated Donna and Charlie at the same time.

"And no one knows where this Kipper guy is?" Asked Charlie.

"Nope, they have combed the river twice, up and down both sides of the bank, but no sign of him. I don't know how he got away, I knocked him out cold and I threw him off the cliff, there is no way he was swimming." Booth answered.

Booth noticed her back stiffen but brushed it off as nerves.

"Well I don't know about the rest of you, but after today, I am a little tired." Charlie said as she rose away from the table.

Brennan also stood and walked over to her aunt. "I am so glad I got the chance to meet you and don't worry, we are leaving soon, so you are not in danger. I promise to keep in touch though, if you want."

Charlie hugged her again. "You don't have to leave, we can hide you here, and of course I want you to stay in touch, we've only just found each other, don't go leavin' now."

"I'll talk to Booth and see what he says, but I'm so glad we're all here together."

"Donna, will you show them to the extra bunk house. They are gonna need a place to put their heads tonight." Charlie kind of barked.

"No problem, I had the girls make it up this afternoon. Cathy and Kasten you guys can stay in the other half of it. There is definitely enough room."

The four adventurers rose and stretched. "Bed sounds good." Stated Kasten. "Cathy are you ready to turn in."

"Yah, I could definitely use a hot shower and a soft pillow that's for darn sure."

"Me too, let's head out."

Donna led the way to the bunkhouse and left Charlie with Booth and Brennan. Criss had gone to fill the woodbox moments earlier.

"Well you two should head out there too, Donna will set you up real nice."

"Thanks Charlie, for understanding, for the place to stay, for everything."

"No problem Temperance, anytime. Now scoot."

"We're gone, but please call me Tempe, that is what Dad and Russ call me anyway."

Booth saw Charlie clench her jaw at the mention of Max. "Of course Tempe, of course, now off to bed with you."

Booth put his arm around Brennan and led her out of the kitchen. They could see Cathy and Kasten up the way.

"Hey old man!" Booth shouted. "Wait up."

Booth took Brennan's hand and started to jog towards the trio. They had stopped and were waiting along the trail.

"What's up sonny?" Asked Kasten.

"I just remembered I didn't even talk to the Feds tonight, wasn't I supposed to?"

"I wouldn't worry about it, if they needed you they would have found you."

"Yah, I guess they would have."

"Alrighty guys, here it is, home sweet home." Donna announced doing her best Martha Stewart impersonation.

"Cathy and Kasten, this one has seperate quarters and I think the guys already put your stuff in here, so this will be your side. I stocked the fridge with a few odds and ends, but just come down to the cookhouse in the morning for breakfast. There are towels and such like in the bathroom and the beds are freshly made, so make yourselves at home."

In unison the duo thanked Donna and put the rush on the others, the door shut quickly and Booth had to chuckle to himself.

"Why is everything so funny to you tonight?"

"Well I'm sorry Bones, but don't you think it's a little funny that your aunt and her knight in F.B.I issued body armour have fallen for each other?"

"Really?"

"How could you not tell?" Donna interjected. "They are like two school kids, it is the cutest thing I have ever seen."

"Well I must have missed it."

Donna pulled out the key to Booth and Brennans side. "Here you go, same thing as I said to the other two. Fridge is minimally stocked, towels in the bathroom, blah blah blah, have a good night."

"Thanks Donna, we will." Booth answered for the both of them.

Just then Criss showed up to walk Donna back to their apartment. "Your woodbox is full so if you get cool in the night, I suggest you maybe start one now."

"You bet, thanks Criss." Booth led the way into the bunkhouse and looked around. "This is pretty nice, only one bed, but pretty nice."

"Are you surprised? I have noticed a trend with us and sleeping arrangements, there is only ever one bed."

Booth laughed to himself. "Well I don't see you complainin'."

"No, no, you don't. I'm goin' to change. Did you want to start a fire?" Bones asked as she made her way to the washroom to change.

"Sure. Hey Bones, did something seem off with your aunt tonight?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"She got her back up when I mentioned that I had knocked Kipper out, and then when you mentioned Max, she clenched her jaw."

Brennan returned to the room. "I don't know Booth, I just met her. You are the body language expert. Maybe she doesn't like violence and Cathy already said that she didn't like Max, so maybe that's it."

"Yah, maybe, but something is off." Booth stood from building the small fire. He stripped off his shirt and sat on the side of the bed to remove his pants.

"Do you ever wear pajamas?"

"Boxers are my pajamas. Are you going to whine about it or are you going to get in here?"

Brennan pulled back her side of the covers and climbed in beside him. "If you think something is off, then maybe something is. I trust your stomach Booth."

"It's gut, Bones. You trust my gut. Now lets get some sleep."

Probably just one or two more chapters, I will try my best to write them as quickly as I can. Thanks.
