Thanks Melissa for taking the time to beta for me. Appreciate it! And all of you who reviewed, thank you so much. Your reviews make me wanna write more! Here's what everyone's been wating for, the wedding!.

Booth

I stand at the altar. My heart is pounding like a jackhammer in my chest. My palms are sweaty. I never get sweaty palms, snipers don't get sweaty palms. I'm oblivious to the small gathering of people in this church. It's a miracle this is happening. We're actually pulling this off! Almost, just a couple more minutes and I'm going to be married to Bones, in a church! Who would have thought?

We had to do this in a day, so we're keeping it small; just Max, Russ and his family, Jared, Parker, Rebecca and Brent. And of course the squints, Sweets and Caroline included. How could we forget the squint squad? Angela is beaming like a lighthouse and Cam seems to be holding back tears. Our actions today will probably warrant therapy with Sweets for a long time to come.

Bones told me she how had to convince Angela that we're not getting married because I got her pregnant, and when she found out the real reason why, she broke down in tears over the phone. I'm glad Bones has such a good friend in Angela. I know my wife will be well taken care of while I serve my tour in Iraq.

A small organ plays and in walks my beautiful bride. I feel like I could have had a heart attack right here and now.

"Steady does it Seeley." Jared, my best man, nudges me with his elbow, leaning over to whisper in my ear. I'm wearing a tux, the one I use only for functions that the FBI forces me to attend. Bones looks breath-taking. She's not even in a traditional wedding gown, just a simple cream colored dress that rides just above her knees. She wears minimal make-up and her hair down, the way I like it. I have never seen a more beautiful bride. I hold my breath, afraid that at any second she might change her mind and run off. But Bones doesn't waver. She keeps her gaze on mine, and walks steadily towards me.

I let out the breath I've been holding when Max hands her to me.

"Hurt her and I'll kill you." He leans towards me, issuing his fatherly threat.

I nod, while Bones glares at Max.

We want to make this quick. After tonight we only have two days left.

I take Bones' hands in mine.

"Seeley Booth, do you take this woman to be your wife?" I managed to convince the priest from the church I attend to marry us. Bones never once protested when I told her that we should marry in church. The fact that she respects my beliefs is another monumental step in our relationship.

"I do." I answer quickly.

Temperance Brennan, do you take this man to be your husband?"

I hold my breath again. I wonder if the terror I'm feeling is showing on my face. Please Bones don't run out the door.

A small smile creeps across her face and she utters the words that makes me feel faint. "I do."

Angela squeals briefly. We exchange rings, rings I had gone with Jared to purchase just hours before. As I slip the wedding band on her finger, I want to pinch myself to make sure this is real. I wait as she slides the ring onto mine.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

I feel myself tearing up. Bones smiles her kind smile and I capture her lips in mine, trying to convey the depth of my love to her in that moment. I look into her eyes to see her blinking back tears too. I'm so proud of her, my Bones. She's sticking with me through this, even when she knows I can't promise her anything, not when I'm going away to Iraq. She's laying her heart on the line for me. The very thing she's most afraid of, being left alone again, is very real now, but she faces it with such courage. And I can't believe I'm the one to put her through such anguish.

I snap of out of my thoughts as people come round to congratulate us. I pick Parker up in my arms and hold him tightly to me. I haven't told him that I'm going yet, only that Daddy's getting married to Bones.

With all his six-year-old wisdom he had simply replied, "Took you guys long enough."

I had arranged with Rebecca to pick him from school tomorrow and break the news to him. It would be hard, but I'd have Bones by my side. Tonight, it's just me and my brand new wife.

We make it back to Bones' apartment. It was the logical choice now that we're married to move into Bones' place. It's bigger than mine and she has already decided to convert her guest room into Parker's room.

We stand facing each other in her bedroom. She is looking almost shyly back at me. I laugh, and I know for tonight whatever the future may bring would be forgotten and we would live in the present. I'm just content to look at my beautiful bride for now. She seems to want more.

"You just gong to stand there all night?"

"I'm just taking my time Bones." I grin as I close the distance between us. I gently caress her cheek, smoothing her hair with the back of my hand. She leans her face into my touch and closes her eyes.

"You owe me for all that you made me do just now, getting married, in church too!"

"Yeah Bones, I owe you big time." I close my eyes, almost afraid that this is not reality. "This is really happening right? Tell me this is really happening. This isn't a dream, like the ones I've had for years."

"For years?" She quirks a smile.

"You have no idea Bones. You have no idea."

My hands move to the lone zipper that holds up her dress, and I pull it down slowly. The dress falls to the floor, and she steps out of it. I stare at her heaving breasts, her smooth, ivory belly, I smell the musky scent of her arousal. She's already wet with anticipation for me. I give a soft groan at the thought as my cock instantly hardens.

She unties the bow round my neck, then smoothes her palms across my chest, removing my jacket. Slowly, all too slowly she unbuttons my shirt. I shrug myself out of it. Her hands on my chest feel like fire. I hiss as her fingers linger over my nipples, then slide down my abdomen. She unbuckles my pants, and pulls the zipper down.

She cups me through my boxers and I instinctively grind my erection into her palm. I want this to last tonight, a night to remember, our wedding night. Our lips are mere inches apart I can feel the heat radiating off her.

"Temperance." I groan out her name. "I've wanted this, ever since I met you. I can't wait to be inside you."

She licks her lips and I could just lose it right there with her hand stroking me. But I manage to hold back.

I unclasp her bra, and then pull off her panties. She pulls off my boxers and takes in my length. It's not our first time together but our first as husband and wife. It feels like our first time. I take her hand and move backwards towards the bed. She falls onto me with a giggle, and our lips meet. A slow, passionate kiss unfolding.

Her tongue and mine do a dance, much like the dance we did with each other for these three years, dancing around in circles. I run my hands through her hair. We break the kiss and she props herself up on her hands. I take one taut nipple in my mouth as she moans. With my other hand I knead and pinch the other breast. She has positioned her heat over my tip. I fight the urge to thrust into her immediately.

Instead I reach down and stroke her clit. "Seeley!" She gasps. I plunge two fingers into her heat. She feels so wet, so tight. I flick and suck her nipple as I stroke her walls with my fingers and her clit with my thumb. She's grinding against my hand, letting out soft sounds that only make me burn with even more desire for her. Seeing her writhe from my touch almost drives me over the edge.

I release her nipple and encourage her to lose herself. "Come for me Bones."

She lets out a low moan, then cries out, "Ahhhh Seeley."

I hold on to her as she spasms around my fingers, her hands clutching the sheets of her bed tightly.

She is still panting as I roll her over gently, and kiss her sweaty forehead. I am aching for release myself but am content to know that I can make her scream my name. It pleasures me no end to watch her come.

My cock is impossibly hard, but I wait. Tonight it's about her.

"I need you Booth." She smiles at me as her breathing becomes less ragged. "I need to feel you inside me."

I chuckle. "Yes Ma'am. I owe you remember?"

I push myself up and lower myself onto her, the tip of my cock poised at her entrance. She thrust her hips up at me. On her second thrust I sheath myself in her. We both groan. For a moment we do not move. I'm content to feel her heat envelope me. I study her face. Our eyes locked, I want to burn this image, this feeling into my memory. I want to take this with me to Iraq. I know she wants to remember this as much as I do.

I begin to move in her, slowly at first, then I pick up the pace.

"So wet," I moan. She feels so good around me. I'm already close. I feel myself teetering on the edge of ecstasy as I withdraw almost completely then fill her again. She climaxes again, her walls tightening rhythmically around me, my name on her lips as she comes.

"Ah, Temperance, I love you!" I shout as my orgasm takes me over the edge. I collapse onto her, panting.

I begin to withdraw myself from her.

"Don't." She holds me tightly to her, and I comply, staying inside her, allowing her to feel me inside of her.

After what seems like forever, I slip out of her. She turns to rest her head on my chest.

"So, married sex isn't that bad after all huh?"

I hear her laugh. I love to hear her laugh.

"It's not bad at all."

I hold up my hand and my wedding ring glistens in the moonlight. She hold her hand up to mine and our fingers interlace.

"Forever, Bones. Forever."

"Forever." She echos. Her hand drops to rest on my chest again. Gradually, I feel her breathing slow and I know she has fallen asleep. I kiss the top of her head, and am content to fall asleep with my wife in my arms.
