So, this is the last chapter of this story. I had so much fun writing it and I want to thank all of you for all the reviews and support! You're so awesome and I love you.
This one's told from Angela's POV, and it takes place after the wedding ceremony. It's not the best chapter out of these five and not the longest, but I hope you like it :)
Reviews are always welcome!
Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own them. A wedding invite would have been nice though, *cough cough* HART HANSON.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
After the ceremony (everyone cried. Even Caroline), we all filed into the Jeffersonian's lecturing room. I had all the iron folding chairs arranged around round tables with white tablecloths and small vases of lilies on each one, Brennan's favorite flower. The stage was set for speeches from loved ones and the band members were already setting up their equipment. Bouquets of flowers wrapped around the columns that stood around the room, and stars (that I made Hodgins make using one of his fancy useless machines) hung from the ceiling, and glinted in the hazy glow of the round lamps I had put in.
On one side of the room was a buffet stacked with everything the guests could wish for. A tall white wedding cake stood in the center of it all, with miniature skeletons dressed as a bride and groom standing on top as toppers. It seemed fitting. Bones and her groom. On the other side of the room was the dance floor.
I have to say, I'm really proud of myself for pulling this all off with a day's notice. Everything looked beautiful, but it all seemed to dim when Brennan and Booth walked in, arms hooked. Brennan had the biggest smile on her face. I had never, since the day I met her ten years ago, seen her so unbelievably happy.
Booth, well, that was another matter. He looked very handsome in his tux. Yum. I had to remind myself that we were both happily married. He looked so content at Brennan's side. Like all the pieces of his life were falling into place. Which was true, I guess. Like he said in his vows, they finally caught each-other. When they entered the room everyone stood and clapped. Hodgins came up behind me and hooked his arm with mine.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." It was nice to have a moment with him. I had been in a frenzy of wedding arrangements and phone calls and getting Brennan to leave the lab long enough to get her hair done, so I hadn't seen my husband all day.
"You're amazing." He said, slightly shaking his head. Hodgins always made me feel special, even on the really bad days. I smiled at him.
"You are. Look how happy they are. Everything is so beautiful and they're so happy and you're amazing." I kissed his cheek.
"Wait till you see the surprise I have for them." I said.
"What surprise?
"I can't tell you, it's a surprise." He smiled, and I leaned into his side and we walked over to the newly-weds.
Surprise time.
The band was set up and it was time for Booth and Brennan to have their first dance as a married couple. Of course, everyone expected "The way you look tonight" or "All I want is you" or any other cheesy romantic song to come on. Just like I planned. But instead, one of the band members, Eric, walked over to Brennan and gave her an electric guitar and Booth a microphone. They looked at him in confusion and he said something that I couldn't hear, and walked away. He turned around to look at me and winked, giving me a thumbs-up sign. Booth and Brennan still looked confused, which means he hadn't told them anything.
Perfect.
Eric climbed the stairs to the stage and took a bass guitar. The drummer counted beats and they started playing. The music blasted through the speakers in an upbeat song opening that Brennan and Booth immediately recognized. From where I was sitting I could see Booth turning to Brennan and exclaiming "Bones, that our song!" Big goofy grins spread on their faces. Brennan quickly put the guitar's strap around her and she and Booth started singing and jumping around.
"I'M HOT BLOODED, CHECK IT AND SEE!" They sang together, bumping heads and smiling at each other so much I'm sure their cheeks hurt. Brennan had a nice voice, but Booth was not a good singer. He was way off tune. They kept bumping into each other and Brennan kicked her foot up in the air, and Booth circled her and screamed into the microphone.
"I'VE GOT A FEVER OF HUNDRED AND THREE! COME ON BABY, DO YOU DO MORE THAN DANCE?"
And then together: "I'M HOT BLOODED, I'M HOT BLOODED!"
They were both such dorky dancers. Brennan tried dancing with Booth and playing at the same time, and at some point she gave up and put the guitar down. It was hard enough with the puffy wedding dress. Booth did something with his hands which I think was supposed to be "the wave" move. Didn't work.
Wasn't his mom a dance teacher?
All that didn't matter. They were so completely in love with each-other that everything they did together looked beautiful. It's hard to believe that it took them six years to get together. I talked to Booth about this and I knew that he had felt differently for a long time before that, but it took Brennan a little longer.
There was a guitar solo, and since Brennan had put down the guitar, she moved closer to Booth and kissed him on the nose. He laughed, and then twirled her around and then dipped her down low, kissing her back, full on the lips. Tonight they didn't have to be modest with public affection.
Booth had been waiting for this for so long. So did Brennan. We did too. I never told Brennan this, but Hodgins and Cam and I talked about them all the time. They made us frustrated whenever they fought and sigh of content when we saw them together.
Now, as they danced and jumped and sang and in general looked mesmerized by each other, I let myself share a look with Cam. A look that said finally.
