I own nothing. Read on! Enjoy!
"What if they don't like us Daddy?" Seb said to me fearfully.
"They're going to love you," I said looking back at him.
"Yeah," Greg said smirking, "And if they don't you'll just cry."
"Shut up," Seb said hitting Greg slightly.
"Don't hit me," he said glaring.
"Enough," I said calmly.
"Fine," Greg said pouting.
"Zach," Booth said stopping at a red light, "Can I bring Parker over one of these days?"
"Sure," I said smiling, "Would you guys like that?"
"Yeah," Greg said looking at Booth.
I looked behind me and saw Seb staring out the window. Out of the two boys Seb was always more sensitive. Greg had a way of making Seb go from happy to hurt and back.
In truth everyone made Seb feel like that. It was sort of like we had to walk on egg shells to make sure that he didn't get offended. Everyone did that, expect Greg and I. We knew that we could make Seb happy again.
I loved my sons so much. There was nothing that could ever change that. I wanted to protect them with my whole life. If anyone ever hurt them I didn't know what I would do.
"We're here," Booth said pulling into the parking lot.
"Thank you," I said climbing out.
"Come on," Greg said throwing his door open, "I want to see the cool stuff Dad works with."
I waited to hear was Seb wanted, but he just quietly got out of the car and waited. Something was bothering Seb again. I wasn't the only person to notice because Greg walked up and stared at Seb.
Seb simply looked at the ground before sitting down and resting his head on his knees. Sighing I moved to try to pick him up and carry the food only to be stopped by Booth.
Booth smiled slightly at me before going over to Seb and offering to carry him. Seb said something softly and wrapped his arms around Booth's neck. I loved the look of Booth carrying Seb.
I have had a crush on Booth since he first started to work with Dr. Brennan. Everything about him screamed protector and I loved that. I needed a protector. Someone I could lean on.
I wanted Booth to be that man, but that would never happen. Booth didn't like me that way. I don't think he liked me at all. Which hurt more then I could ever have imagined.
"Zach," Booth said nudging me slightly, "Are you alright?"
"Yes," I said nodding, "Just nervous."
"Don't worry," he said smiling, "I'm here."
"Thanks," I said blushing and looking way.
Both Seb and Greg knew that I liked men and women. I had taught them at a young age never to judge someone on things like that. They knew that some people didn't like that, but they had no problem.
They were so caring and sweet, even if Greg didn't show it a lot. He would do anything to protect Seb. I knew that it hurt him every time that he hurt Seb. Those two were joined at the hip.
"Here we are," I said as the doors slide open in the lab.
I looked around and saw Dr. Brennan and Saroyan standing over a body. Hodgins and Angela were standing in front of the computer screen staring at something that made Hodgins smile.
Staring at Booth I saw him nod slightly and set Seb down. Instantly Greg was next to Seb talking quickly and quietly. After a moment Seb wrapped his arms around Greg and hugged him tightly.
Greg was a few minutes older then Seb and he acted like he was years older. He was a very overprotective brother. He had been since they were first born. Protecting Seb was something that Greg was very serious about.
"Zach," Booth said catching my attention, "Bones office."
"You have an office full of bones?" Greg asked confused.
"No," I said shaking my head, "That's what Booth calls Dr. Brennan."
"Oh," he said shrugging and following me to her office.
Once we were in there I saw everyone's eyes widen. I knew that it was going to be hard to explain everything, but I hoped I was given enough time to at least talk about everything.
Cam was sitting in a chair next to the couch Hodgins, Angela, and Dr. Brennan were sitting on. Booth stood next to me and smiled as if to say 'I'm here for you'. A shiver ran down my spine when I saw that.
"Everyone," I said taking a deep breath, "These are my sons. Gregory and Sebastien."
Seb waved shyly while Greg did a half wave. No one spoke for awhile. I never thought I'd see the day that everyone was stunned speechless. It was a sight to see, but they needed to talk.
After a few more minutes Seb's eyes started to fill with tears and he walked over to the corner and sat down. Greg watched Seb as he did this before turning and glaring at everyone.
"Way to be rude," Greg said angrily.
Greg ignored everyone and walked over to Seb and sat next to him. I would have walked over there, but I knew that Greg would have everything under control. I just wanted people to talk.
"Greg's right," Booth said surprising me, "I know it's shock, but come on people. You just made a six year old cry."
"Oh," Angela said softly, "I'm sorry. I'm just surprised."
"Ditto," Hodgins said in a whisper.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Cam asked slowly.
"Because I didn't want any criminals going after them to get to me," I said sighing, "I know it's not the best excuse, but those two are my world. I couldn't let anything bad happen to them."
"Why tell us now then?" Dr. Brennan asked calmly.
"Because it was hurting Seb," I said motioning to the boys.
"You should apologize to him," Greg said loudly.
"We're sorry Seb," Angela said walking over to the two, "I didn't mean to make you sad. I just didn't know what to do or say."
"You don't hate us?" Seb asked sniffling.
"No," Cam said shocked, "We could never hate you two. You're Zach's kids. That means you're already like family to us. You never hate your family."
"Told you," Greg said hugging Seb again, "Now, can we get out of the corner?"
"Yeah," Seb said blushing.
"Are you two hungry?" I asked pulling out our food.
"Yeah," Greg said pulling Seb with him.
"Okay," I said nodding, "Come on Booth. We'll go up stairs and eat quickly before getting to work."
"Daddy," Seb said shyly, "Can I see the art stuff?"
"Why don't you ask Angela?" I said smiling, "It's her things after all."
"Miss Angela, can I see the art stuff?" he asked sweetly.
"Of course," Angela said grinning, "It will be awesome. I show you how everything works. You'll love it."
"Thank you," he said smiling.
"I'll stick with Dad," Greg said crossing his arms.
"Okay," I said nodding, "Hurry at eat and we'll go from there."
As we ate everyone decided to join us. At first everyone was really quiet and had no clue what to say or do, but soon questions were being asked to both of the twins. Greg answered most of the questions.
Greg never was shy, unlike Seb. The two of them were basically polar opposites, but they got along wonderfully. I loved that they were able to be themselves and still be brothers.
I watched as everyone laughed at one of the stories Greg was telling. This was perfect. Both of my boys were happy and I was with the people that were slowly becoming my family.
Looking around one last time I saw Booth looking at him. He had a content smile on his face as he watched me. I blushed and smiled shyly. He smiled widely back and patted to seat next to him.
Getting up I sat next to him and waited. Booth smiled and placed a hand on my knee before looking into my eyes. I looked back into his and almost instantly were lost in a sea of brown.
"Zach," Booth said in a whisper, "How about we go out later?"
"Yeah," I said losing my breath.
Booth just asked me out. Today was a wonderful day. I had no clue how everything was going to turn out, but right now everything was perfect. I had my boys and the guy I had a crush on for years.
It was lucky that Seb and Greg seemed to get along with Booth. I couldn't be with him if they didn't. Seb and Greg were the most important thing to me. And Booth understood where that was from. No wonder I fell from him hard.
