Wedding #2. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it means so much to me!!!

The wedding march had always seemed rather depressing to Temperance Brennan. She had always preferred the graduation song. Maybe because she had many happy experiences graduating, and no happy experiences at weddings.

This wedding that she was attending today was no exception. She was absolutely miserable, with only a small silver lining that took the form of an attractive FBI agent standing beside her at the front of the church.

Brennan sighed so softly only she could hear it. She felt immensely guilty at the way she was feeling. Angela was her best friend, Hodgins was an important person in her life – why couldn't she be happy for them like any normal person would be?

She wasn't jealous – she was sure of that. She definitely didn't want to get married herself. She was just – scared. Of losing Angela. She only had a few people in the world, and she could very well be losing not one but two today. Marriage changed people, she knew that.

Booth, being Booth, sensed her discomfort and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"This is not a funeral, Bones," He said it lightly, but the impact of it hit hard, and she bowed her head in shame.

"I'm sorry." She said putting on a fake smile. "It's just – "

The priest looked over at where they were standing. Traditionally, the bridesmaids were on one side, the groomsmen on the other, but Angela had opted for a mixture. She said she liked the way the dress and tuxedo colours went together.

"I'll tell you later," Brennan hissed, still a little loud. Booth nodded, looking forward and pretending he didn't know her.

After the ceremony had ended everyone began to get in their cars to drive off to the reception down at the marina. Booth and Brennan got in the SUV they'd taken.

"So you going to tell me while your sulking now?" Booth asked, putting his sunglasses on.

"I'm not sulking," she said as cheerily as she could. "I'm brooding. I brood when I'm happy."

Booth gave her a sideways glance. "Normal people smile when they're happy."

"Yeah, well normal people are happy for their best friends when they get married," she said heavily.

"Oh, Bones, it's normal for you to be feeling depressed."

She looked over at him. "It is?"

"Sure. You know, you're worried that Angela is going to be so preoccupied with her new life that she'll forget about you."

Brennan almost laughed at how pathetically she disguised her emotions in front of Booth. He could read her like a book.

"That won't happen though," he continued. "But even if it did" – he flashed her a smile "you'd still have me."

"For now," she said sadly.

"Forever."

So that's it. Please review. As a birthday present? Because I'm so very excited about my birthday tomorrow!
