Before we begin, I'd just love to thank everyone for all their support. I never thought I would gather so many people with this story...I truly didnt. You guys took me by surprise - I was stunned. This is my most successful story ever, even besting my Stargate "Rose Petals" which I thought had a pretty good turnout! Thank you so much for your wondeful inputs and such - I loved reading every one of them! But, alas, I shall not keep you here any longer, so without further ado, for the last time (in this story), I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Epilogue

One Year Later

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
- Bhagavad Gita

Sinking down on the couch beside her husband for one year, Temperance Booth let herself be enveloped in his arms, sharing a kiss with him before pulling away. From behind her back, she pulled out a long thin gift, wrapped in polka dotted wrapping paper and adorned with a white ribbon.

"Happy Anniversary," she said, holding the gift out to him, as she kissed him on the cheek, her eyes sparlking.

Seeley Booth took the gift, his eyebrows knotted together. "But we already exchanged gifts," he said, referring to the diamond necklace he had given her, and the golden watch she had given to him.

Temperance shrugged innocently, smiling coyly. "Open it," she urged, pushing the gift at him more.

Kissing her on the forehead once, Seeley complied, searching for a loose flap of paper to insert his thumb nail. "You sealed this tight," he grunted as at last he found a corner piece from which to start. He sliced the tape with his thumbnail and pulled the wrapping paper off, revealing a long, thin brown box beneath. "Is it a pen?" he guessed, looking up to Temperance. It was - after all - the right shape for one.

Her lips were pressed together as she tried to contain a smile, and she shrugged once again. "Just open it."

Seeley's lips quirked into a smile, and his curiosity mounted as he took off the lid of the box, putting it aside. He pushed apart the layers of tissue paper, until at last he found himself staring at the object on the inside of the box. His mouth dropped open, and his gaze went from the object to his wife, who was sitting beside him with a large grin.

His gaze dropped back down to the object, and he picked it up gingerly, as if jostling it might change the reading, checking to make sure that it still read "positive" when he inspected it closer. He put the object down on the table and turned to his wife. "You're…" he began. Temperance nodded, her face practically glowing. "How far?"

"Three months," she stated happily, grinning at her husband, "I just found out the other day."

That explained the excitable attitude he knew she'd been trying to hide over the past few days, and the fact she had refused to drink celebratory champagne only hours before. He reached forward to place his hand on her cheek, stroking it gently, his eyes conveying all of his feelings of love that went beyond words. He leaned forward, taking her lips in his own, and she raked her fingers through his hair.

"I can't believe it," he murmured when they pulled apart. He leaned his forehead against hers.

"Well start believing," Temperance said, poking him lightly in the chest. She then lowered her hand until it found his, twining her fingers with his and guiding his hand to rest it on her abdomen. "And this time," she said, looking him in the eyes. "You'll be there every step of the way."

So did you love it as much as I promised you would? Anyway, I know a few of you want me to keep writing stories, but as of now, I'm going to throw in the towel for a little and disappear from So if I'm a reviewer of one of your stories and I suddenly drop out of reviewing, which I'm going to try not to do, its not you, its me. I get bored of fanfic after a while, but I always come back, haha. (Although I have a plan for another story boiling, which may/may not happen) For now, I'm going to go back to editing and writing my own story - try to get that off the ground and such. As I said, thank you so much for all of your support! I'd love to hear your opinions on this chapter! (I feel like crying ;; )
Ponies: This was a short one, but I hope you liked it all the same :D No grandchildren here, haha, that thought never even considered my mind! Well it was either Bones take the last name or have Elizabeth plagued with being Brennan-Booth, which would be cool, but weird, haha. Glad you liked it :) Thanks for coming back to read/review another one of my stories. (I'm actually formulating an idea for another story, but I'm not quite sure yet - it might have been done already, for all I know, so ssshhh, and dont get your hopes too up!!)
