Booth opened the front door of the house and the two girls ran in. Taylor led Trinity upstairs. Booth stopped talking the whole way from Brennan's apartment to their house. He smiled they were getting along so well and they'd only known each other for barely a day. Slowly going up the stairs after them he turned into his own room. He could still hear them chatting away as he closed his own door. He sighed and sat on the edge of his bed. pulling his shirt over his head he lifted it back up to his face. It still smelt of her shaking his head he threw it across the room. He'd messed up again. she'd barely been able to look at him this morning. How had he ever thought that she'd take him back after what he'd done. He lay back and looked up at the ceiling. His thoughts drifted to the small black box that was in his sock drawer, that had been in that same sock drawer for the last fifteen years. He'd been all set to give her that ring he still was… there was no one else for him he knew that now. But he'd messed it all up.

Taylor opened her bedroom door and let Trinity in. her room was completely different to her sisters. It was very neat and tidy with artefacts lining her shelves. It looked a lot like their mothers room actually. Trinity looked back at her sister. It will take me so long to get used to that. Taylor smiled at her. Trinity walked over to her bedside table and picked up the framed photo that was on it. It was of Taylor, Booth and a blonde older teenager on some grassy area all tangled up together on the ground with a football.

"Is this Parker?" she asked.

"Yeah that was taken last year by Park's mom Rebecca. He's actually home form uni for a week so you should get to meet him soon."

"I cant believe I have a brother and a sister now." Trinity shook her head and sat on the edge of Taylors bed. Taylor sat down beside her and put an arm around her shoulders.

"This will sort it's self out. It has to." She said and they sat there talking for the next few hours.

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

Brennan took off her gloves and threw them into the bin. She sighed and sat on her couch. It was half past one. Booth and the girls would be back any second. She sat back and looked at the picture on her shelf of the old group. It had been taken before everything. Zach's betrayal, Ange and Hodgins' multiple failed relationships, her and Booth…Am I making a mistake? She thought just as there was a knock on the door.

"Bones it's us we come baring food." Booth said opening the door. She tried to smile.

"We got tai mom!" Trinity smiled walking in. Booth had two white bags in his hand. Brennan stood up.

"I've to wash my hands. I've been in Bones storage all day." She said and hurried from the room.

Booth, Taylor and Trinity all sat down at the coffee table and started setting out the food. Trinity kicked off her shoes and curled her feet up under her.

"Wow they're some socks!" Booth laughed. She looked down they were bright orange with monkeys on them.

"Thanks Mom and I always look for the craziest socks we can find."

"Mine are better." He smiled and pulled up his pants legs to reveal bright blue ones with green and black dots on them. Trinity laughed.

"You think they're good you should see the ties!" Booth smiled.

"Uh the ties!" Taylor sighed. "Nothing more embarrassing then your dad showing off his co-ordinating ties and socks!"

"I used to have a great collection…"

"I found a load of ties in the back of moms wardrobe…" Trinity said slowly.

"That's probably them!"

"My teddies wear them now." She smiled.

"Good to know they're still being used." He smiled. Brennan came back into the room.

"That smells good! I'm starving." She smiled and sat beside Trinity. Booth passed her her meal but she still didn't look him in the eye.

"So Taylor and I were talking and we want to move together as soon as possible." Trinity said.

"Ok. Well it will take a bit of time to sort out Taylor moving school and stuff but as soon as that's done you're good to go." Booth said calmly.

"You sure about this dad?"

"Tay it's ok I mean I don't live that far away. And I'm sure Brennan wont mind you coming over every so often."

"Of course not." she replied.

"Great." Trinity smiled.

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

A half an hour later everyone had finished eating, Taylor gave Trinity a look and Trinity nodded.

"I'm going to show Tay around the lab." She stood up.

"Ok Hun. Will you give Hodgins the file that's on my desk please." Brennan smiled.

"Will do!" she grabbed the brown folder and the two of them left the room.

"Bones…" Booth moved over to the couch beside her.

"Booth before you say anything, I don't want to get back into any relationship. I think I'm just too old for that now, and it wouldn't be fair on the girls. Booth, you and I it's too… problematic. Too confusing." she said. Booth stopped for a second. He was going to ask her what she wanted, but she'd beat him to the chase. And if that was what she wanted then he'd give her that. He'd messed up her life to much as it was already…

"Ok Bones."
