Early Monday morning, Tempe walked into her lab and headed straight for her office. She had spent the weekend with Booth trying to move his things into her apartment and sending out invitations to their wedding. As she entered her office exhausted and upset she made her way over to her desk hoping the day would go by quickly and with no interruptions. Well that didn't last long.

"Hello, sweetie." Angela said popping her head in from the door. "I got your invitation and thought I'd R.S.V.P. in person. Jack and I are both coming."

"Great Angela thanks." She said giving her a smile, then let it fade away, man she was exhausted, she needed sleep.

"You ok sweetie?" Angela asked making her way to the chair across from her desk. "You look really tired."

"I haven't gotten much sleep." She said yawning; Angela gave her an odd smile.

"Booth keeping you up all night?" It took all of Tempe's will power not to look grossed out by the comment, and nodded a yes to her answer. Angela gave a slight squeal before opening her mouth to speak again. "Do you have a wedding dress yet?"

"No, I was supposed to go shopping for one yesterday, but something came up." Tempe said turning to her computer, Angela took that as they had spent the whole day in the bed while what really had happened was Booth had spent half the day explaining to Rebecca how much it meant to have Parker at the wedding, while Tempe went through the caters and florists.

"Well I say we skip work for a couple of hours and go shopping for your dress. I mean you can't have a wedding and no dress, am I right?" she asked happily getting up from the chair.

As much as Tempe dreaded shopping for her wedding dress, she dreaded shopping for it with Angela more. But she did have a point. She couldn't have a wedding and no dress. So, too tired to fight, she gave up, grabbed her coat and followed Angela out to the parking lot where they got in the car and headed to the mall.

They had pulled into the parking lot of the mall and headed towards the main entrance when Tempe's phone went off in her pocket. As she talked away Angela smiled knowing exactly who it was. When she started to explain where they were and what they were doing there a small blush found its way across her cheeks. After hanging up, Tempe looked up to the sign of the store she stood in front of. In bright red outline and white writing it read 'David's Bridal'.

"You're kidding me?" she asked as they walked in.

"Nope I want you to have the best dress ever and they have them here, everything you'll ever need."

They walked around in circles for at least twenty minutes looking over the same dresses repeatedly until Angela finally picked one out and dragged Tempe over to the changing room to try it on. As Tempe changed into the dress Angela was out in the store looking for others and returned with three other ones.

"Have you got it on yet, sweetie? Or do you need help?"

"I got it on, but I'm not coming out." Tempe called from the other side of the door.

"Why not?"

"It's hideous."

"Just let me see it." Angela begged and after a brief silence the latch to the door could be heard opening and Tempe walked out of the small private room. "Oh my god."

"It's hideous." Tempe repeated looking at herself in one of the full length mirrors that circled the room known as 'The Bridal Chambers'. The dress was a pure white, ruffles outlined the long sleeves and wrapped around the waist to create the biggest bow on her lower back. Angela gave a slight snicker as Tempe walked back into the room to change out of it.

"What the hell were you thinking?"

"I think I grabbed the wrong one." Angela said catching the dress as it came flying over the door. "Here try this one."

Tempe looked up to see another white dress hanging over the door, she took it and tried it on, hoping it was better than the last. Once on, she looked at herself in the mirror and noticed how small it was, though I hugged her form, she felt it was a little revealing for a wedding, even if it was a fake one.

"Well are you coming out?" Angela asked and waited as the door opened and Tempe walked out.

"I don't like it." She stated clearly. In the mirror she saw herself, only it wasn't really her. The dress was cut low in the front, showing off a little too much for a 'modest bride', there were no straps and it was way too short. "I feel like a hooker getting married in Vegas."

"Ok, try this one." Angela said handing her another one.

"Ange, I was hoping you could be my bride's maid." Tempe said as she walked into the room.

"Oh sweetie, I would love that." Angela said happily as tears formed in her eyes.

"Great, start looking for a dress of your own while we're here."

Angela immediately nodded and went in search of more dresses. Two hours and seventeen dresses later, Angela nodded as Tempe came out in a dress even she liked. It was white and went down to her ankles, the straps were spaghetti and the waist hugged her form perfectly. Angela was soft lavender, ankle length dress that was strapless and had a small beaded design on the front. After paying for the dress and leaving the store they headed towards another in search of a great pair of shoes.

After the shopping trip was done, they went out to lunch, and then headed back to the lab. Upon arriving, Angela rushed to Hodgins side, who was studying over the bodies, and told him about her day, and how he would need to go shopping for his tux. While Angela and Hodgins talked away, Tempe found Booth in her office begging on the phone again.

"Please Rebecca, I'm not asking for much. Just that my son can come to his father's wedding." There was a silence and an odd look from Booth as he noticed the bag she carried. "I'm sure his friend Jeffery will understand if he can't make it to the birthday party."

Tempe sat there feeling bad as she watched Booth argue over the weekend with his son. It was a few minutes later before Booth's face lit up and he was talking like a father would to a child. She knew immediately Parker was on the phone and knew Booth would try and get him to attend. After a few minutes Booth hung up the phone triumphant.

"So, he's coming?" she asked looking over to him.

"Better, he's going to be the ring barer."

"Why wouldn't Rebecca let him come?"

"He was to attend a birthday party and she wanted him to stick to a promise, but when I told him he was getting a new mommy, he changed his mind."

"It's going to hurt you know?" she asked sighing, Booth looked at her confused.

"What is?"

"Telling him the truth after all this is over."

"I know, and that's my biggest fear, I can only hope he won't hate me."

"He won't. He can stay made at you, but never hate you, he's too young."

"And how do you know that?"

"he's a child Booth, they don't' stay made for long." Booth nodded and smiled, she had a valid point.

"So what's in the bag?"

"My wedding dress." She mumbled opening her drawer and pulling out a chocolate bar, she was forced to remind herself to eat one at least once a day around Angela, just to keep the appearance that she was having cravings due to being pregnant. At the moment Angela stood atop the platform looking over to her and Booth in the office.

"From Victoria Secret?" he asked looking at her oddly.

"Oh that…" she trailed off forgetting all about the ten minute stop to the store on the way out of the mall. "That would be part one of my bacholorette party gifts. I think it's more for you though."

"You're having a party?" he asked confused.

"Angela's planning it for tomorrow night, just a few of us girls. Hodgins is having a bachelor party for you tomorrow night as well, some FBI agents are going too…to both of ours."

"Unbelievable."

"I know."

"Well, Bones. That's the price of working with the FBI, I guess."

"Guess so." She said watching him as he got up and walked over to her.

"Angela is watching." He said as his lips closed in on hers.

"I trust you." She said closing the small gap between them, just to test the waters.

"Why?" he asked as he pulled away.

"You would hate for me to hurt you if you were lying." She mumbled and gave him a soft kiss before he turned and left the office.

Tempe got up from her seat and made her way over to the platform where everybody was. Angela gave a small smile as Hodgins stared at her. Zach tried to focus on the body as Cam ignored it all.

There was still no break in the case, the faces were still being worked on and it appeared they were at a road block, the only thing to do was wait, but while waiting a bigger threat was at hand. The threat of another body entering the lab in the same condition; and nobody wanted that.
