Disclaimer: Last chapter. And as promised – I only borrowed them, and I give them back to Fox now so we can have a lovely new season soon!

EPILOGUE

The air was still chilly this early in the morning.

On the horizon, the sun was rising, softly reflecting in the river and turning the surrounding mountains into a wonderfully soft shade of light.

Right under the large pine trees, Temperance Brennan sat on a big rock, her legs dangling in the air. Her feet were still wet from the dew that covered the grass in front of the log cabin.

The world was silent but for the birds who were starting to sing.

She leaned back and closed her eyes.

"Mind if I join you?" a male voice behind her asked suddenly. She opened her eyes in surprise. She hadn't heard him coming.

"Seeley! I thought you were still asleep."

Booth smiled. "Well, I was. But then I suddenly felt like something really important was missing. I had to make sure you didn't elope with someone else."

Brennan jumped of the rock. Booth slowly walked over to her. He was still limping a little, and still wearing a knee brace, but other than that, he was pretty much back to his old self. They had been in the cabin for a couple of days, and were planning to spend some more, just trying to shut out the rest of the world and be with each other.

Booth gently kissed Bones on the forehead. They sat down in the grass, not minding the dew. Bones rested her head in Booth's lap, while he tenderly fondled with a strand of her hair. He sometimes couldn't believe she was here with him. It was all so perfect.

"So what did you do there, sitting on a rock at 5:30 in the morning?"

Temperance shrugged. "I couldn't sleep anymore. Thought I might as well sit there and enjoy the sunrise. I didn't want to wake you, you still need to rest."

Booth looked over to the sunrise. "It's beautiful, isn't it? And being here with you makes me feel so... complete." He bend forward to kiss her on the cheek.

She snuggled up closer to him. "That's a very sweet thing to say. It was a wonderful idea to come here. Remember when we talked about being this odd couple on TV?"

He nodded. "We'd always find the killer but we never find..."

Brennan interrupted him. "I think we turned it around. We found each other. And no one can ever take that away from us."

Booth pulled Bones into a close hug. Their lips touched, as they had done so often in the last couple of days.

All was well.

- THE END -

Can you believe it? My story is finished! I borrowed the last sentence from the new Harry Potter-book, and I'm glad I could end it with a sentence like this.

Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing, you have all been wonderful! (You can review some more, if you like... that would make me so happy!)
