Chapter Nine – Greet Death
Two weeks after the passing on of Bones…her funeral has still not been held. The family is waiting for Booth to follow her, so that they can have theirs together. Seeley is lying in their bed, her smell invading his senses.
"I miss you, so much." He said in a choked voice, squeezing the pillow tightly to him, inhaling her scent. And just like that, he inhaled her smell one last time, taking a deep breath.
"I'm coming for you." He whispered. He looked up into the white light coming his way, and that's when he saw her. She looks just like the day he met her. Her hair down, at her shoulders, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and one of her big necklaces.
"Hey." She whispered, as he stood in front of her. He looked down and saw him in his old suit, as young as they day they met.
"Is this how you wanted to be, here? Like we were when we met?"
"Yes." She said. He took her hands in his, squeezing them.
"I have missed you so much."
"I know." She said, smiling. He smiled back and planted a soft kiss on her lips.
"I've been watching over you all, and could tell you were coming soon. So I came to meet you."
"I'm glad you did. Do you believe in heaven now?"
"No. I believe in eternity, spending the rest of your life and afterlife with the person you love."
"That's good enough for me."
"Good. Let's go and watch out for our kids." She said, leading him forward, hand in hand, forever, disappearing into the misty white light.
