Author's Note: HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY TO ME
Chapter .3.
The Morning….
Booth awakens with Brennan moving out of his arms. He gently pulls her back down.
"Booth! We need to get up. It is 11am", Brennan says
Booth's eyes pop open.
"Looks like we will be in time for brunch or when we get ready lunch", Booth says
"The others will be waiting for us. We need to get up", Brennan replies
Booth groans but doesn't move he hadn't noticed his children sneaking in. They looked at their Mum for permission and she nodded. They grinned and jumped on Booth.
"Ahh. A mountain of kids", Booth says
"You wouldn't wake up", Brennan says
"Good reason. I will get you kids. Tickle monster is coming", Booth says tickling his children
"Mum the others are waiting to meet the Booth's with us", Sarah says
"Ok enough. We have to go down and meet your family Booth. Go and have a shower", Brennan says, "Kids get dressed"
Booth gets up and haves a shower and dresses the Quads and twins and gets himself dress. Brennan was helping Naomi into her clothes along with Braxton. Sarah was helping Maximus and Andy. Zoey manages to dress herself in something pretty so had Parisa, Isla, Alek, Indi, Zhong, Ming, Xolani and Zola.
Booth and Brennan move into the passage way where their family was waiting.
"Ok everyone ready to meet my family?" Booth asks
"Sure", everyone says
"Don't say Dad is a criminal anyone", Brennan says
"Don't worry we won't will we?" Booth asks the kids
"No Dad", Indigo says
"Ok. Lets go down stairs. They are probably in the living room", Booth says leading everyone downstairs he was carrying Joanna and David, Brennan was carrying Selena and Evelynn, Max was carrying Lilianna and Naomi, Caroline was carrying Braxton.
"Seeley!" a woman yells
Brennan knew by the facial structure that she was Booth's mother. Booth puts his kids down and hugs her and is greeted by the rest of his family. Brennan and the others stand back and watch.
"Tempe these are my parents Joseph and Marianne Booth, my grandparents Hank and Janice Booth. Mum, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa this is Temperance Brennan my girlfriend", Booth says
They had agreed last night to keep their marriage a secret for now. Later they might tell them. But not yet. Booth knew Brennan was feeling insecure. So he was doing his best to reassure her.
"Nice to meet you Temperance", Hank says warmly
"Please call me Tempe, Mr Booth", Brennan says
"Hank. Call me Hank", Hank says
"Ok Hank", Brennan says
"Pretty isn't she?" Janice asks
"Grandma", Booth groans
"Nice to meet you Mrs Booth", Brennan says taking it in her stride
"We will see if it is nice to meet you", Janice says
"I am Joseph Booth my dear welcome to our house", Joseph says to Brennan
"Please call me Tempe", Brennan says
"Call me Joseph then", Joseph says with a smile
"She is not your type Seeley", Marianne says to Booth
"She is. Do not say that to her", Booth says
Brennan had heard it. But she repeats the words in her head off Booth loving her
"Pleasure to meet Booth's mother", Brennan says
"You call him by his last name?" Marianne asks
"It fits his first name we can't get used too. Same with mine he calls me Bones", Brennan says
"Why Bones?" Joseph asks
"I work with bones", Brennan says
Marianne, Janice and some of the ladies don't look pleased with that.
"Hi Temperance I am Richard Vincent, Seeley's older brother. I am 40 and this is my wife Nerina Booth and our 5 children Nelson Richard Booth who is 19, Kelly Carlisa Booth who is 17, the twins Shannon Ally and Isabelle Emily Booth who are 12 and Ryan Joseph Booth who is 11", Richard Booth says

Molly makes no move to hug Brennan.
"I am Christopher Walter and I am 31. This is my wife May and our two children Susan who is 2 and Travis who I two weeks old", Christopher says
Again Christopher doesn't make a move to welcome Brennan.

"She is good on me", Booth says kissing Brennan's lips

Hank and Janice shake hands politely to the two older couples.
"This is Russ Brennan he is Bone's brother and his wife Amy Hollister and their 4 kids Hayley, Emma, Justin and Grace", Booth says

"Bones and Russ changed their last name when they were older. Didn't like their old last name", Booth lies
"They should have kept their last name it is a sign of respect", Janice says
"Anyway this is Bones mother's sister Laura and her Husband Thomas Copper and their two kids Tracey Kalyana who is 25 and her husband Tyler Ryan and their two children Natalee Laura Ryan who is 4 and Margret Chloe Ryan who is 1. Laura's other daughter is Leah Vera who is 23", Booth says

"This is Bones mum's other sister Sophie and her husband Jacob Dickson and their two children Jackson Jacob who is 24 and Maegan Sophie who is 20 and her husband Harry Black and their son Allan Jonathan Black who is 2", Booth says
"You have a lot of family Tempe", Joseph says

"You named your kid after my son?" Marianne asks
"He is one of my best friends. More like a father figure. Both Daisy and I agreed to name him that with my adopted fathers name as the middle", Sweets says
"Enough with the kid. Next we have Cam who you meet and her adopted daughter Michelle", Booth says
"Camille who are you seeing no days?" Janice asks
"A Doctor. He couldn't come he was on shift", Cam says knowing what Janice was doing wanting to make Brennan uncomfortable
"Did you know Temperance that Camille and Seeley used to date?" Marianne asks
"I did. We have no secrets from each other", Brennan says
"Now Bones and I have kids. I will introduce them. This is Bones daughter Sarah Alice Brennan", Booth says
"I am 17", Sarah says
"Your not Seeley's?" Marianne asks
"No he will be my stepfather one day", Sarah says
"These are the twins Bones and I adopted from South Africa. They are little people. The girl is Zola Thulile Booth and the boy is Xolani Thulani Booth", Booth says
"We are 15", Xolani says
"We love living with Mum and Dad", Zola says
"Did you both grow up in the United States? Is English your first language?" Janice asks
"No we didn't we were born in South Africa. Zulu is our first language followed by English", Xolani says
"Hi Nonna, Nonno, Grandma, Grandpa I have missed you", Parker says hugging his grandparents
"We have missed you too Parker. How is your mother Rebecca?" Marianne asks
"I live with Bones and Dad now. I see mother rarely", Parker says
Marianne and Janice didn't look too pleased with that.

"Christine was my mother's name", Brennan says changing the subject
"Very nice name", Hank says smiling
"This is our adopted daughter Aleksandrina Anastasia Booth she is adopted from Russia", Booth says
"I am 8 like Christine. I speak Russian but my English is better. Call me Alek", Aleksandrina says
"This is Isla Brenda Booth she is 7 and adopted from Scotland", Brennan says
"At leats her English will be perfect and manners", Janice mutters
Booth was getting angry. But Brennan squeezed his hand and calmed him down. Joseph and Hank noticed those two were differently meant to be together.
"This is Parisa Roshanara Booth she is 7 and adopted from Afghanistan. She was orphan while I was serving a tour there", Booth says
"Hello", Parisa says shyly
"These are Bones and mine twins Toby Jack Booth and Zacharias Jared Booth they are 6", Booth says

"No thank you", Brennan says
"This is Zoey Anika Booth she is 6 and adopted from India", Booth says to the little girl who was near him
"This is Andy Marcus Booth he is 5 and adopted from here in the States", Brennan says
"How did you get him?" Janice asks
"We were working a case and we fell in love with him. We decided to adopted him because he had no mother or father", Brennan says

"And these are the twins Evelynn Amelia and Selena Josephina Booth who are 1", Brennan says
"How do you support that many children?" Marianne asks
"Dear they must be hungry questions later. Come lets eat lunch since you all didn't have breakfast", Joseph says
Brennan smiles and follows with the children into the large dining room that was set up. She could see some of Booth's family glaring at her. But she was determined not to let them get to her…
