Life was a whirlwind of emotions, making the stress of everything even higher than normal. It had been one thing when Broadsky was on the loose, taking out his form of justice on the world. It was something else entirely when the sniper had taken out one of their own because he had thought it was Booth. It had been hard on everyone because while Vincent could be annoying, it was kind of endearing in a way. Clark woudn't really talk, while Vincent and Daisy couldn't stop talking. It had been hard to accept that Vincent was really gone and not just around the corner. The grief was enough to make Wendell want to crawl under the covers in bed and not let Jared leave the apartment.

With everything that had happened lately, it had driven home the realization that Jared could be taken from him in just a moments notice. Whether it was through a car accident or a stray bullett, his whole world could come to a stop with the blink of an eye. So when it came to their weekend routine and Wendell wouldn't get out of bed, Jared knew that something had to give. He knew that the last few weeks had been hard on Wendell both emotionally and physically, but if Jared knew one thing about Vincent, it was that he wouldn't want Wendell hiding away from the world.

Sliding under the covers and wrapping himself around Wendell's back, Jared slid his hands over Wendell's shoulders and down his chest and stomach until they came to rest on the blond's hips. Pressing soft, chaste kisses to the back of Wendell's neck, Jared let Wendell get used to his presence before turning the blond onto his back. Wendell's blue eyes were closed, but Jared knew that the other man was awake and listening. Jared leaned forward and gently rubbed his nose against Wendell's, getting the blond's attention and causing those blue eyes to open.

"Babe, I know that you're hurting right now, and god knows that you have every right to just want to avoid the world for a while. But the world is going on without you, and you know as well as I do that Vincent wouldn't want you to waste everything you have worked so hard for, over him." Jared said softly, continuing to caress the soft skin of Wendell's hips.

Closing his eyes, Wendell took a shaky breath as a few stray tears escaped down his cheeks, "I just don't want to believe that he's gone." Wendell whispered, turning around and burying his face into Jared's t-shirt covered chest.

Laying his cheek down on the top of Wendell's head as he pulled the blond man closer, Jared rubbed his back in firm, soothing motions, "I know babe, I know." He whispered, letting Wendell sob into his t-shirt.

Jared knew that it would be quite a while before anyone was close to being okay with anything that had happened. But Jared was okay with that, because for the first time in a long time, he had someone that took care of him and loved him just as much as he did them. Wendell was worth everything to him, and he will do anything to help heal this hurt.

Angela and Hodgin's baby helped bring a soothing balm to the sharp blow Vincent's death had caused everyone at the Jeffersonian. With the new, healthy baby boy it helped give everyone something new to focus on. There were still times, especially with the interns, that there was a noticable gap, but it was something they were all learning to live with.

Jared and Wendell had never been better, and had now just celebrated their one year anniversary. Jared had thought about taking Wendell out to some fancy, black tie restaurant, but had quickly discarded the whole idea. Wendell didn't really enjoy that type of dinner, so Jared had to think about what exactly Wendell would want. Wendell had suggested a night at the movies, but Jared had begged Wendell to leave him to do something special. After a indulgent smile and a shaking head, Wendell had agreed.

It had taken a little longer than he had expected, but he had finally decided on a weekend trip up to visit Wendell's family and have a to go out to dinner twice, once by themselves on their actual anniversary, and then again with Wendell's mom and his brothers and sister and their families. It had been one of the best weekends that Wendell and Jared had both had together. They were able to relax and listen to what was going on with the family.

Having Wendell's family know about them and having them accept their relationship, helped with the stress of Jared's family not knowing. It had been funny when Wendell's mom, Terri, had asked if they were thinking about getting married in the near future. Wendell had turned bright red and had taken on the look of a deer caught in the headlights look. Jared had let loose a laugh before wrapping an arm around Wendell and telling her that they hadn't thought about it yet.

The weekend out of town had been good for them, being able to get away and be around people that knew about them. While Angela and Hodgins knew about them and had forced them to go on a couple of double dates, it hadn't been the same as if Jared would be able to just drop in on his lunch break to see Wendell at the Jeffersonian. And Jared was quickly thinking that it might be the time to tell the rest of the people they knew and Jared's family about their relationship.

Angela had asked at one time, why Jared hadn't told Seeley and the rest of his family about Wendell. Jared had explained to her that his parents were old fashion, and very catholic. He then told her about the huge argument, complete with screaming fits from his mother, when they had all been told about Rebecca and the pregnancy. He then explained that the whole thing had only gotten worse when Seeley had told them that he had proposed and that Rebecca had turned him down. After telling her the whole event, Angela had looked like she might understand.

"I am not ashamed of Wendell or our life together. Wendell is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and having him reminds me why I am staying sober. Our mutual friends know about us, his family knows. I'm not even worried about the people at the Jeffersonian, because they value his intelligence over his personal life. What I am worried about is my families reaction and how that could effect Wendell." He had explained, knowing that it would help her understand better.

"I think Seeley would eventually get over it, but being gay isn't like having a kid out of marriage. But my parents are an entirely different matter. Even if they never in their lives met, their disappointment and possible hate might just push Wendell into a corner he doesn't deserve to be pushed into." He continued, looking in the direction of the kitchen, where he knew Wendell was with Hodgins.

Angela took a minute to absorb everything before nodding her head in agreement and then reached over to grab his hand in her's as she looked into his eyes, determined, "As long as you know that Hodgins and I are always there for you guys no matter what it is and no matter what you need. Just remember that when you do decide to tell everyone." Jared smiled at her and gave her hand a slight squeeze before they got up and joined Wendell and Hodgins in the kitchen.

That night as he watched Wendell with baby Michael, as they all talked about different things, he decided that he didn't care what his family said or did about his life. Because he had a family right here, and it was full of people who cared for him because they wanted too, not because they were bonded by blood. And while he didn't care if his mom and dad disowned him, he did hope that Seeley would still be there.

"Please Jared! I don't have anyone else to watch him. Seeley is having a romantic weekend with Temprence and I have to take this business trip. I really wasn't given a choice in the matter. Please, it would only for two days. He loves spending time with you two and I know that you enjoy having him." She pleaded, hoping that Jared would take mercy on her.

Heaving a big sigh, Jared stared at her, "I don't know Rebecca. For all I know, Wendell could have booked us at that all leather confrence that's in town." He deadpanned, knowing that he wouldn't be able to hold out.

Rebecca rolled her eyes at him, knowing fully well that she had won out, "You can be such an ass sometimes." she muttered before sinking into the seat across from him, "I really don't know how or why Wendell puts up with you."

Jared laughed, "Because I'm great in bed." He said as he wiggled his eye brows at her, his grin growing when she let out a loud laugh and shook her head.

"Well whatever it is, he must have the patience of a saint to have withstood you for the last year." She joked, and then let a genuine smile stretch across her face, "And thank you for taking him. He does love to spend time with you guys." She said, with any trace of sarcasm gone.

"We like having him. So what time are you going to get back Saturday?" He asked.

"I will probably get back in town about eleven o'clock, and I'll be able to pick him up about eleven-thirty or twelve." She said, checking her flight schedule to make sure.

"Why don't you leave him with us and we'll meet you for lunch on Sunday and you can take him home. That way you can go home and get some sleep and you don't have to worry about getting a tired, grumpy Parker home and back in bed." Jared suggested, knowing that Rebecca wouldn't fight the suggestion.

Rebecca gave him another bright smile, "Thanks Jared, if your sure?" she asked.

Jared smiled back, "Absolutly. So what time do I need to pick him up at school?"

A/N: I had to cut this chapter short or else it would have taken another few days to a week to get it posted if I had kept going. I am working on the next one though.

A/N: And like I said, ignoring the whole Brennan being pregnant thing, but I am developing her and Booth's romantic relationship. And I'm bring in Rebecca bc I think she'll make a good ally for Jared if Booth goes apeshit over Jared's relationship...

Let me know what you think and feel free to let me know how you think the others (Cam, Sweets, Booth, Brennan, ect) should find out...

Oh, and on a final note, let me know how you think that Wendell/Jared should find out about the pregnancy...
