Here's your little New Years treat all… Oh and I got Bones for Christmas. It was my favorite present and I've already watched them all. Well here the chapter. I couldn't wait to post it so consider it a gift. And there's a little surprise too.
"Ange are you sure?" Tempe asked as she took the dress and walked back into the changing room.
"Believe me sweetie. I have an eye for this sort of thing, and that is the dress." Angela replied as she sat herself down in one of the plush chairs in the mirrored waiting room.
"And I already told you that you can wear what you want right?" Tempe called over the door. "Plus I feel bad that you have to walk to the aisle with a five year old."
Angela let out a laugh. "Yeah I have an incredibly elegant black dress. And I definitely don't mind walking down the aisle with little Booth. He's practically my nephew now."
"That's good." Tempe said as she exited the room and came to stand in front of the Ange.
"Wow." Angela said slowly as she stood, tears welling in her eyes. "Sweetie, just… wow. You're beautiful."
"Really?" She asked, biting her lower lip.
"See for yourself." Angela laughed as she pushed the doctor in front of the mirrors.
A small gasp escaped Tempe's lips. "Oh my God, Ange. You were right. It's perfect."
Angela smiled. "Look at my little forensic anthropologist getting all religious but I knew it was perfect. I'm always right."
"Ange you know that I simply support Booth's way of life. And they way he is going to raise our children." Tempe replied as she smoothed the bottom of her dress.
Angela let out a sharp squeal. "Oh you know I love it when you talk about Booth and your children."
Temperance chuckled at the giddy expression on her friends face. "Well I know how you love to think that there is going to be more."
"Oh honey, with the way you two dance beneath the sheets I imagine our chances are pretty good. When Booth sees you in that dress he's going to have a severe problem keeping his hands to himself." Angela laughed as her friend slapped her arm before returning back to the changing room.
"I'll take it." Tempe called over her shoulder before closing the door.
Angela laughed lightly as she sat back down, wiping a few tears from her cheek. "Bren, when we're done here I need to talk to you about something over lunch."

"I get to wear a new suit, Daddy?" The little boy asked from where he stood on the chair, his arms spread out to his sides.
"Of course Bud. That's what we're doing here." Booth answered as he watched the tailor take the boy's measurements.
"This is a boy's clothes store. Why is Sienna here?" He questioned, his head turning to the side, as he looked at his little sister.
"Because Mommy Tempe and Aunt Angela are out doing girl shopping." Booth answered as he continued to feed the bottle to his little girl.
"Eww." The five year old cried. "Girl shopping."
XxXxX
"Is she ready?" Jack asked as he knocked on the door.
Angela opened the bedroom door and peaked her head out. "We're just getting Sienna into her outfit."
With that she shut the door in his face. "Well Booth is getting antsy downstairs." He called from the other side of the door.
As Jack made his way down the stairs he took in the decorations. 'Wow.' He thought. 'My girl really knows how to decorate for an occasion.' Green garlands hung on the railing of the stairs with white lights and lilies poking through the needles. The living room was removed of its furniture. The only things left were the small piano in the corner and the gorgeous tree beside it. The floor was laid with a silk cloth that led to the fireplace. The cloth was covered with flower pedals. At the end of the fabric stood Booth and his son, wearing crisp black Armani suits with silver ties. Jack waited at the bottom of the stairs, ready to give his cue.
At Angela's appearance at the top of the steps the woman at the piano began playing Pachebel's Cannon. Angela's black dress shimmered with little silver accents. She was breath taking. As she reached the bottom, the patter of little feet made their way to her. She took the little boy's hand and walked through the living room, passed her friends and co-workers to the fireplace.
Booth smiled at his friend. "Thank you, Angela."
Ange nodded before returning her gaze to the stairs, Booth following her actions to see Temperance being led toward him by Jack. In her arms she carried her daughter who was gurgling and playing with a single lily. They both wore a silk white fabric. Tempe's dress clung to her newly regained figure, almost as thin as she had once been. The neck dipped off the shoulders, exposing the smooth flesh of her neck where her necklace lay perfectly. The dressed reached mid-calf where it flared slightly giving it a 1950s feel. At the bottom of her tanned legs were a pair of sleek white pumps.
As she reached the fireplace, she turned to Jack. "Thank you." He placed a soft kiss to her cheek before moving to stand behind Angela.
Temperance took the hand of the man before her and came to stand beside him. The preacher greeted the room filled with friends and family. Behind Booth were his mother, father and two of three of his siblings. On Tempe's side stood, the squint squad and all three of the Cross'.
"Seeley and Temperance have asked that they share their own vows. Please." The older man stepped aside and motioned for Booth to start.
On Booth's face shown a grin brighter than any Temperance had ever seen, it only served to make her smile stronger. "Temperance." He began. "When I first met you I thought you were the most pushy and cut off person I had ever met. It didn't take me long to realize that those are the things I feel in love with. I'm glad you met Justin and he gave us this beautiful baby girl because she definitely made the process of marrying you happen a little quicker." Tempe's eyes changed to show a little hurt. "But I know, without a doubt, that if she hadn't happened, one day we would be here getting married and having a child of our own." Booth slid the gold band on her delicate hand.
"Seeley," her eyes were damp from the honesty in his words. "I have to say that when I first met you I thought you were pushy and arrogant. And then I realized we were more alike than I thought." A few people around the room chuckled lightly. "I never believed that I had a real family but you were the one who showed me that my family was right here, with you. You've given me so much. I can't imagine loving anyone like I love you and I promise to continue to love you for the rest of my life." Temperance placed the gold band onto his ring finger.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the preacher said. "Ten seconds to midnight." The group began to countdown, the couples wrapping their arms around each other. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
"2"
"1"
"Happy New Years!"
With smiled on their faces the couple leaned forward, pressing their lips together. Booth wrapped one hand through her loosely curled hair while his other patted the blond head of the son who was tightly hugging his leg. Temperance cradled the cooing baby in her arms as she kissed the man she loved. As she pulled away from her husband she looked around the room. Mr. and Mrs. Booth stood in a tight embrace, tears in the Mrs.'s eyes. Jack and Angela still remained in a tight lip lock and before them on the silk carpet stood Zach Addy, camera in hand.
The couple stood with their two children. Booth's right arm around Tempe's hip pulling her closer to him, his left arm on the shoulder of the beaming little boy in front of them. In Tempe's arms lay the little girl, her eyes closed now the excitement of the moment lost on her. As Zach counted down from three, Booth pressed his lips to his wife's temple. Flash.

Booth watched as the woman he loved danced with their son in the middle of their living room. He watched as she shook her arms in the air to the lyrics: throw your hands up and shout. The two of them laughed as they continued to dance. As the music slowly changed Booth excused himself from a conversation with his brother and his wife.

"Excuse me young man. May I cut in?" He asked as he tapped on his son's shoulder.

The boy stepped backward, giggling. "Of course Daddy." He ran towards Angela who scooped him up quickly and walked with him to the dance floor.

"You look beautiful, Temperance." Booth commented as he wrapped his arms around his wife's slender form. At her blush Booth continued. "He really loves you, ya know?"

"I really love him too." She said as she pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, she pulled away giving him a sultry look. "But I have to say, I'm glad Angela agreed to take the kids of that night."

Booth let out a low groan. "You're going to be the death of me woman."
Tempe smiled in response. "Don't I know it. You just wait till all these people get out of here."

The couple continued to dance and laugh as they moved around the dance floor. On lookers enjoying the love that emanated from their presence.

"So do you really want more children?" Booth asked looking into her crystal eyes.
"Wow, Angela was right about this dress." She mumbled looking up at him.
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You're With Me All The Time
Maybe I'm Afraid Of The Way I Leave You
"What?"
"Oh nothing." She smiled before placing another kiss to his soft lips. "I would give anything to have more children with you. We already have two wonderful ones." The couple looked over to where Angela was dancing with Parker on her hip and where Jack apparently had been passed their little girl.
"We do." Booth agreed.

"But I think Jack is in for a treat. With all this talk of marriage and babies the pressure has got to start mounting pretty soon."
"Oh Ange is already pregnant." As soon as the words flew from her mouth Tempe's hand flew to cover it.
Booth pulled back to look into her eyes. "Really? Does he know yet?"
Tempe shook her head. "No but he will later tonight."
Booth let out a chuckle. "They'll be married in no time. We are merely slaves to our women."
"And don't you forget it." Tempe smiled as she leaned forward. "I love you Seeley."
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way I Really Need You
"I love you too, Temperance."
Tehehe. I thought that would be something sweet to add in there. Reviews always appreciated.
