"Mom are you ok?" Trinity said as she buckled her belt.

"Yes of course why?" Brennan replied. Starting up the car.

"I saw your face when you saw… him…" she said.

"Oh hunnie. I'm fine. I just wasn't as ready as I thought I was to see him."

"This is going to be hard for you isn't it."

"No sweetie of course not. It's you I'm worried about. The two of you. I'm sorry I kept this from you. I thought I was doing it right. We all make mistakes." Brennan said, a tear falling down her cheek she turned away so that Trinity wouldn't see it.

"Just tell me one thing. Were you going to tell me eventually?"

"Yes of course!"

"Then it's ok. I forgive you anyway." She smiled at her mother.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dad you ok?" Taylor said as they drove down a road that her father obviously knew well.

"Why?"

"You're very quiet. It's strange."

"I'm fine baby." Booth said.

"You sure?"

"Yes. I promise. How about you? I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner hunnie. I just thought…"

"I get it dad. We all make mistakes right?" she said knowing that her father was eating himself up inside already and that he really didn't need her at him aswell.

"We were going to tell you… eventually."

"Ok…" she just nodded, as he pulled the car up outside an apartment building.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brennan let them all in and Booth marvelled at what she'd done with the place. It was a totally different apartment. They all settled down on the couches and Brennan made tea and coffee for everyone. They spent the next few hours answering the girls questions. About their lives before the got together. After they broke up. Taylor had questions about Brennan and Trinity wanted to know Booth. finally they got up to the present.

"Mom. Taylor and I decided at the diner that we're staying together. We're not being split up anymore. We've barely known each other a day but I don't know… it's strange…" Trinity said from where she was lying with her head on her mothers lap.

"We know you'll both want to spend time with us and we get that so we're willing to split our time between both places. School could be a problem but…" Booth cut his daughter off.

"No girls I don't think so." He said.

"Booth they have a right to stay together!" Brennan said.

"I know Bones. You didn't let me finish. I think you should get to stay here. Both of you with Bones…"

"Booth you don't…"

"Yes I mean it Bones. I think you deserve this after all that's happened."

"Booth…"

"Stop Booth-ing me!" He said smiling. "Ok girls we'll settle this in the morning. It's been a long day! Tay will we head home…"

"She could stay here." Trinity said looking up at Brennan.

"Yes of course! The spare room is all made up."

"Thank you." she smiled. Trinity got up and pulled Taylor with her. "You staying too dad?" Booth looked at Brennan.

"There's another spare room." She said nodding.

"I'll stay hun." He smiled. The two girls smiled and left. Brennan suddenly felt awkward. It was just her and Booth again. sitting on her couch. "Bones I've been getting photos of Trinity over the years. Every month. I have full albums at home…" he got up and sat beside her sh quickly looked at the floor.

"I do too." She smiled. "but who…Ange." She nodded, still not looking up at him.

"Yeah ho else! You?"

"Your mother." She laughed.

"That woman!" he looked at her. "Bones I want you to listen to me. I will never ever be able to make this up you. and I will never be able to tell you just how sorry I am. I got that your mad at me I completely deserve it. But I also need you to know that I missed you so much! Both of you, every single day Bones…"

"Booth don't! I don't think I could take it."

"Temperance…"

"I missed you too!" she blurted out looking up at him. he couldn't take the pain in her eyes. Taking her face in his hands he said.

"I know I broke my promise and that I hurt you but I'll do anything to make it up to you."

"I know you will…" she whispered. I suddenly felt as if no time had passed. It was just them sitting there. There was no relocation, no split up teenage daughters, nothing! Just them. She leaned forward, closing the gap between them, they were just a few inches apart now.

"Bones…" his hands were still on his face, his eyes still boring into hers. He could clearly see the pain in her face. Looking back he'd say it was her that closed the gap. She'd say it was him but the next thing they knew his lips were captured in hers. It was exactly like before, not that he'd expected anything different. His touch sent shock waves through her.

"Bones.." he said pulling away.

"Don't… Booth please… I don't want to think!..." she gasped. He nodded. His hand left her face and moved to the small of her back. He kissed her cheek and found it wet with tears. She was silently crying. He wiped her cheek with his thumb and she smiled. They weren't tears of sadness, she was crying because she felt complete, finally whole again. Perfect…
