One Month Later:
"Dad can I grab a few hangers from your room?" Taylor called out. Booth looked up from the new bed he was assembling for Trinity for when she would stay over with him and Taylor.
"Yeah of course work away." He replied and she left the room.
Opening her fathers wardrobe she searched through his numerous suits for empty hangers. She came across a dress cover and stopped. Unzipping the bag she found a short black cocktail dress. She looked at it wondering what her father would be doing with this.
"Dad what's this?" she called out. He came into the room. He stopped short when he saw the dress and laughed.
"That was your mothers." He said walking over to stand beside her. Taylor looked up at him eyes wide open. "She didn't normally dress like that. We were under cover in Vegas. It was a case…" he reached out and stroked the dress. "My Roxy…" She smiled.
"You still really love her don't you!" she said sitting on his bed. he sat beside her.
"Of course I mean she's your mother of course I love her." He replied.
"It's different to what you feel for Bex though." Taylor continued.
"…Yes." He said hesitating. Taylor took his hand.

"Trinity darling would you put the files from the top of the wardrobe into the top drawer of my desk in the office." Brennan said as she made up the bed in the spare room. Trinity reached up and took the small pile from the top of what would be Taylors new wardrobe. Going into her mothers office she opened a drawer. She never went into her mothers desk unless she was told or asked to by her mother. She looked into the drawer and saw something odd. She reached in and pulled out two small objects.
"You ok Trin?" Brennan said sticking her head round the door.
"What are these mom?" she asked turning around. Brennan laughed.
"Am that's Brainy smurf and jasper."
"Were they mine or something?"
"No they're mine actually… Booth gave them to me years ago, I used to keep them on my desk but, but I put them away." She said drifting off slowly as she looked at the toys.
"Oh right sorry I'll put them away.." she said as she went to put them back in the drawer.
"NO!" Brennan put out her hand. Trinity looked at her. "Leave them out on the desk they've been stuffed in a drawer for long enough." She said and took Japer from her daughter. Trinity smiled and left her mother, smiling, with her thoughts.

Two months on:
The two girls walked into Angela's office and dropped their bags.
"Hey Angie." They said together. They'd truly settled into life together now. School home, weekends with dad. It all fell together quite well for them. There was a major stir at first but it had all died down fairly quickly.
"Hey girls how was school?" the artist asked. She loved seeing the two girls together. Like it was supposed to be. She even enjoyed seeing Booth from time to time. It felt like the old days.
"Grand. We're got a major book project to do over the weekend though." Taylor sighed.
"Are ye waiting for Booth to collect you?" she asked.
"He's not coming until six but Mom's office is locked so we said we'd come in here." Trinity said.
"That's no hassle. Make yourselves at home." Angela smiled at the two girls. They were the image of their parents. Both their parents. The two beautiful girls who were lucky enough to have two parents that loved and adored them and who loved each other even though they were too stupid to realise it.
"Angie, we need some help." Taylor said.
"With what darling?" she smiled.
"Our parents are still obviously unbelievably in love with each other and we want them to be happy…" Trinity said.
"Girls if this was sixteen years ago I'd be all for it but it's not. they've made their decisions and we cant interfere, ever though they are as you said obviously unbelievably in love with each other." Angela sighed.
"But Ange…" Taylor started.
"Hun, Bren and Booth come together on their own the last time and I'm pretty sure they'll do it again. Don't meddle! And don't worry. You're parents are just the perfect example that love makes you blind. Even if you are a genius!" the three of them laughed.
--------------------- ----------------------------
Brennan sat with her legs tucked up under her. She'd heard the girls come to the door but she couldn't bring herself to answer the door. She looked a mess. She'd been crying for about an hour and she didn't want the girls to worry. After another few minutes she straightened herself up and went out to find her girls.
---------------------------- ------------------------
Booth sat down on his couch and flicked through an old magazine. After less then a minute he threw it back down, sighing. The apartment was too quiet. He had run out of things to do. and he hated not having the girls around. Maybe if he was closer to town he'd have more to do… he picked up his phone and dialled.
"Hello Cullen? Sir it's Booth . I need to talk to you…"
--------------------- ------------------------
Two weeks later:
"Come on dad! The movies starting." Trinity called out.
"I'm coming!" he said grabbing the cans and bowl of popcorn he'd just prepared. He went in and sat between them. They both reached towards him at the exact same time and took a can each. "I've some news girls. I'm transferring back to D.C."
"What!" Taylor sat up.
"I'm moving back to the city."
"That's great! We'll get to see you a lot more now!" Trinity smiled.
"Have you told mom?" Taylor asked.
"Will you be working with her again?" Trinity sut in not giving him time to continue.
"Will you even be allowed to work together again?" Taylor said.
"Wow girls slow down! I don't even know what division I'll be in yet. I just know I'll be closer to you two"
"This is great dad…" Taylor smiled. And the two girls leaned against him.
---------------------------- ---------------------------
"I know you're concerned about your age affecting this Dr Brennan and normally I would be to, but you are only just forty and are in absolutely fantastic health! This should be the same as you're last time." Dr Montgomery smiled.
"Ok I must say that, that gives me some reassurance."
"Now you will still have to take some precautions. Vitamins, rest, you know what I'm talking about yourself."
"Yes thank you doctor." Bren smiled and left.
