Sorry I had to end it there gang, couldn't resist. Many thanks to all reading, and to those who have recently favourite the story, it means a lot! Read, review and enjoy.

Oh and a quick shameful plug, I'm writing a Hodgins and Vincent story, it's for a friend, it's a love story of sorts, so check it out, it's called Only Exception.

I do not own Bones.

Nice aim kiddo.

Vincent's heart sank as the words "I don't" slipped from Grace's lips, he could feel his throat getting tight as he tried to hold back the tears that would soon be falling from his eyes. Grace was staring at her hands, avoiding eye contact with the young man, it was only when she felt the bed move from Vincent standing to leave that she looked at him walking away.

"No Vincent…don't go…"

"Don't go? What am I supposed to do? Tell you that everything's fine when it's not." Despite all his best efforts his eyes were well and truly welling up as he snapped at the young girl.

"Vince, hear me out, you-you didn't let me finish what I was saying. I don't wanna run no more, I don't want to push you away or-or pretend that how I feel for you isn't real." Grace used all her strength to pull herself out of her hospital bed, she slowly walked towards Vincent, raising her hand to gently stroke his face as she reached him. Partly through tears, but mostly through laughter she smiled "I love you too."

The young man stared down at the battered and bruised girl in disbelief, as his tears were replaced by his usual goofy smile. Grace pushed up on her tiptoes, with both hands holding the astonished man's face, she lent up into a kiss. Vincent's lips parted, as he leant deeper into the kiss. He couldn't help but chuckle as they broke away from their kiss, this must have been a dream right? If it was a dream he was going to enjoy it for as long as he possible could. "I must be dreaming." He whispered into Grace's kiss.

"No cutie, this is real. It's always been real." He leant down lifting Grace into a hug, lifting her off the ground. "Ow." Grace muttered in between a kiss he placed on her swollen lips, "I'm going to be sensitive for a while, and you may have squeezed me a little too tight there mister." She laughed wrapping her arms around his neck, and pulling him in for another kiss.

"I guess, I can be gentle, for now." Vincent winked, gently pecking his girl on the lips. As the pair broke apart, Vincent led Grace back to her bed, after all she was meant to be on bed rest and he wasn't sure all this excitement constituted as bed rest. Sliding onto the bed next to her, his arm wrapped around pulling her in close, he placed another kiss on her forehead. Whilst Grace's hand rested on his chest, she snuggled into her man, she finally felt safe and as if everything was how it should be.

From outside the room, the gang had been watching the embrace between the youngsters, Angela and Cam beamed at the happy couple, whilst refraining from a slow clap moment you'd see in a film. Sweets let out a chuckle at Hodgins' remark "About bloody time." They had all watched as the romance blossomed between the pair in the previous months, and each had felt the stress and pain caused by Henry. If anybody deserved a happy ending it was these two.

"What's everyone looking at?" Booth questioned as he and Brennan, who was attached to the agent's arm, joined the group. Cam just smiled at the pair and gestured toward the hospital room, in which Grace had fallen asleep in the arms of Vincent who was tentatively stroking hair, his face still plastered with the biggest smile the team had ever seen him produce. "Ah about time." Booth smiled at the scene in front of him, Grace's time in DC had been a whirlwind of emotions, and finally she seemed content.

"About time what?" Brennan quizzed her friends, she was seemingly confused as to what had previously unfolded, the rest of the group just laughed.

"I'll explain later Bones."

Vincent had been holding a sleeping Grace for an hour or so when she woke up, stretching her arms out she took in her surroundings remembering that the Henry fiasco had not been a bad dream after all, but her silver-lining being that her dream of Vincent was reality also.

"Hey cutie." She rolled on her side to face Vincent, as he brushed her messy hair out of her eyes.

"How are you feeling?"

"All the better for seeing you. I was scared that it was all just a dream you know, I'd wake up and you'd be gone."

"You'll never have to wake up without me again, I promise." Vincent lent down and kissed Grace again, it felt so good being able to kiss her whenever he wanted. This kiss was more passionate then the others, Grace pulled Vincent into a closer embrace as her hands travelled over his torso, gripping his shirt in an attempt to be closer than they already were. His hands were laced in her hair, as he rolled on top of her, his kisses moved from her lips to her jaw, as he nipped gently reaching the neck. When suddenly…

"Do I need to remind you kids that this is a hospital?" Hodgins was stood in the door way, arms folded, smirking at the two youngsters. "I mean guys, come on, you should know better."

Vincent became very flustered as he sat up and readjusted his shirt, whilst Grace just laughed before pouting at Hodgins "you have to spoil everything!"

"Just be lucky it was me and not Booth. Im glad you're feeling better Grace, clearly bed rest is doing you, and Vincent, some good."

"What do you want?" Grace threw a pillow at the older man, hitting him right in the face.

"Nice aim kiddo. Vince it's time to go, visiting hours are over buddy."

"Actually I'm going to stay here, I'm sure I can work my magic on the nurses and it'll all be fine." And with that Hodgins left the two lovers alone.

"You don't have to stay, it's only for a couple of nights, I'll be fine." Grace smiled.

"No, I made a promise and I'm going to stick to it. Now budge over, and give me some duvet."

I believe this story is reaching its end, I have two ideas with how I'm going to end it, one I want to write but not sure you guys will be very happy about it, or the other which may be received a lot better, well I have lots to think of….
