Thanks for all the reviews. Just want to make it clear... I don't own Bones, or anything about it. This is for fun only. Also, if I did own Bones, Booth and Brennan would have been together a lonnnggg time ago... trust me! : )

"What have you done?," I was furious with Booth and he picked up on my mood instantly. " You get this whole big wedding and when your standing at the alter, then you change your mind! What is wrong with you? Hannah is probably heartbroken, well if a heart could break... But that's not the point! The point is, why did you do it, Booth. Why?" I hissed at him and when I saw the guilt on his face, I felt horrible.
Booth was going to start to talk but, I shushed him.
"One second..." I said quietly and he went to sit on the cold marble stairs. Turning around, I galloped back to the church where the wedding was taking place. I heard many murmurs in the audience. Running to the front, I quieted them down.
"Sorry for the situation. I'm sure all of you were expecting a wedding," I heard a few mutters in the crowd about only being here for the food or to see if me and Booth were going to get together or what not. Hannah and Booth apparently had some very rude people at their wedding. I got angry. " Most of you, were expecting a wedding. Booth and I will be back in a moment. I don't know whether or not this will get fixed. Just...stay here and wait patiently or something like that..." My voice trailed off. I was never really good at speaking in big crowds unless it was about something I knew, like bones.
I strutted off to enter the hall once again to find Booth with his face in his hands. I wasn't sure if he was crying. Peering into his face, I saw he had a few tears but, trying to be a man, he wiped them away hastily. I crouched down next to him and took his hands in mine.
"Booth. Don't cry, Booth. I'm sorry I yelled at you..it's just, Hannah's my friend and well you know... I'm sorry." I said softly, little tears forming in my eyes. I hated to see him like this, especially since I was the one that caused it.
"I know you didn't mean it. I just don't know how I made such a mess of things..." He sighed. I tried to comfort him.
"The head can't help what the heart wants." I quoted Booth and I's English friend, Gordon Gordon. "There must be some reason why you did what you did."
He said one word. One word that made my heart stop in my chest. One word that made my breath stumble. One word that made my heart swell with hope. One word...
"You." His chocolate eyes looked up to meet mine and I knew what he meant. Everything he said in front of the crowd in the church was true. My voice seemed to bubble away at my lips.
He noticed the tears well up in my eyes. Him, having known me so well, knew that the were not happy tears or sad tears. They were confused tears, relieved tears, hopeful tears...
"Just listen. When I close my eyes, I picture my life, my future. There are two paths. One with you and one with Hannah. If I travel a little down your path, I get a glimpse of our future. Me and your's future. Our marriage, children, life. Growing old together. You know what I mean?," I nodded. "If I walk down the other path, it's the same thing, only with Hannah. They are both beautiful futures. More than any man could hope for. I want both of them. But, even though my brain tells me to pick Hannah's path, my heart is uneasy. My heart tugs me toward your path. My gut tugs me toward your path. And it's the right path. I know it, just like I knew right from the start. Me dating Hannah was just me trying to fool my heat into thinking Hannah's path was the right path. But, my heart is smarter than I thought."
Booth offered a small smile and I returned it, tears running in streaks down my cheeks. I under stood and, even though I felt bad for Hannah, I couldn't help it when it felt like my heart skipped into my throat. Booth's reassuring eyes searched mine. He was looking for something and whatever it was, he found it. I saw the resolve in his eyes.
"I love you, Bones."
Soft, truthful, honest...
"I love you, Booth."
Brave, joyful, sure.
And with that, Hand in hand, Booth and I turned to face our future. I knew, that no matter how bad it ever got, or what ever happened, I will always have Booth. He's my life saver.
I'm sooo sorry that it took me this long to update. My computer got a virus and I had to make a new screen thing and when I saved my favorites and documents and stuff onto a Cd, I had to make sure that didn't have the virus in it so I didn't put it in my new account. Finally got it checked and now I'm back to writing.
On the story, I am so tempted to leave it here. I'm thinking maybe I'll do an epilogue but if I decide on more chapters..well then your find out when I update. Leave me reviews with your ideas. Also, thanks to all the people who reviewed already! :)
