This chapter came out longer then it was going to be because I just had to add in Parker. He is just too cute to leave out.

Chapter 18

Young and Handsome Birthdays

POV Booth

Ah yes today is my birthday which means I'm another year older and that is not what I want. Bones is five years younger than me and I wish I could drop my age a few years back. I'm standing in the bathroom finishing buttoning up the last few buttons on my gray dress shirt. Bones and I are going out to a fancy restaurant because it will probably be forever until we get to go out alone again. I've been looking forward to this all day. With one last glance in the mirror I make sure my hair looks good and I head out to find my Bones. I haven't seen her since before we started to get ready. I bet she looks beautiful, Bones always does.

Walking down the hall and into the living room I can see her resting on the couch with her eyes closed. She looks so peaceful. I don't really want to see if she is awake, but if I don't we will miss our reservations. I know Bones used her Best-selling Author name to get us into this place so I slowly walk towards the couch.

"Hey Bones are you awake we need to head out now?"

She opens her eyes.

"Okay, I was just resting my eyes waiting for you. You take longer than a girl to get ready."

"Ha Ha very funny Bones."

I extend my hand to help her up and she takes it without complaining.

"Booth?"

"Yes Bones"

She lays her hand to rest on my cheek and leans in to kiss me. As our lips meet softly I pull her closer to me in the best hug I can. She is the first to pull back trying to catch her breath.

"You look extremely handsome tonight."

"And Bones you look stunning. Are you ready to go to dinner?"

As I ask the question I'm heading to get my jacket so my back is turned to her.

"Booth I'm going to have to take a reign check."

I whip around to face her.

"Bones why my birthday is today not any other day."

By the look on her face I can tell that she heard the hurt in my voice, but she also has that look that says she has a valid reason.

"Well it seems like the other two Booth's want to share your birthday."

I'm so confused right now what does Parker have to do with dinner.

"Bones, I don't know what tha…"

I stop my sentence when Bones grabs my hand in a death grip. I've figured it out the babies are coming now.

"Boooooth my water just broke."

I'm trying not to stand here looking like a deer caught in headlights. I snap out of it when she starts to squeeze my hand again and wraps her other arm around me.

"It's okay Bones everything is going to be okay. After this contraction we will head out to the car I can get you to the hospital."

When the contraction finally ends I squeeze Bone's hand to show her that everything is really going to be okay. I place my hand on her lower back in my spot as we walk out to my SUV. Opening the door I can see that she is going to need help getting in. She turns to me with tears in her eyes and fear is evident upon her face. After I get her in the seat I help buckle her in and then sprint back into our house to grab our bag. As I get back into the car and turn the key another contraction rips through her.

"Oohhh, Ahhh, Booooth…"

"It's okay sweetheart just breathe."

Once again my hand is being used as a pain reliever, but right now I would do anything for her since she is giving me all I have ever wanted. A family. I'm driving fast, but not too fast, I slow down at every intersection and light so I don't end up in another accident. We are about a few blocks away from the hospital when Bones starts to talk to me again.

"Oh shit Booth you better drive faster ahhhhh… (Breath in Breath Out)… I don't want to give… (Breath in Breathe Out)… birth to our children in your car! I don't think the FBI would be very happy about that so I'd step on the gas a little bit harder.

(Delivery Room)

Brennan is laying on the bed resting in between contractions while Booth is standing by her side holding her hand in both of his. The doctor has just come in and checked Brennan and told her that on the next contraction to push.

"Booth, I don't know if I can do this."

Looking down into her tear filled eyes I whisper "Temperance, you can do this. Look at all we have been through. You stayed strong while I was in a coma and when you found out you were pregnant with twins."

"Booth, that's different I had Angela…"

"Temperance…"

I was cut off by the doctor "Dr. Brennan here comes a contraction. Are you ready to push?"

Bones contraction hits and she begins to push. I can see in her face how hard she is working and how much pain she is in. I hate to see her in pain. I would do anything for God to take her pain away and give it to me.

"Very good, the head is out. I need you to push nice and gently."

Leaning over I press my lips to her temple in a kiss and whisper in her ear "You're doing amazing baby. I love you so much."

"Here we are. Congratulations Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth the first one is a little baby boy."

The screams from the baby have now filled the room. We have a little boy this is amazing. I'm at a loss for words.

"Booooth"

I snap my head to look back to Bones.

"Sweetheart, we have a baby boy."

I can't help the smile that is covering my face, but she doesn't look happy and I can't figure out why.

"Booth, I'm so tired. I can't do this anymore."

Taking a closer look into her eyes I can see that she is exhausted.

"There is no way I can push out another baby."

Another hard contraction hits her.

The doctor cuts in "Dr. Brennan you need to push."

"Come on Bones I know you can do this. You are the strongest women I know."

I grab onto her hand and squeezed it to give her the encouragement she needs. The contraction is finally over. Tears are threatening to overflow from her beautiful eyes. I feel like my heart is being ripped into little pieces.

"With the next contraction we need you to give a big push. Your second one is almost here."

"You mean the world to me Bones. With this final push we can start the family that I have…"

"We"
"What?"

"The family that WE have always wanted."

I feel like a baby she has me on the verge of tears.

"Booth"

She holds out her hand and I take it in both of mine. This time it is my hands that are trembling and not hers. She gives me a slight smile then determination set in. A contraction comes and she begins she push with everything that she has left. I have something I want to tell her, but I'm not sure if I should because she is so focused. Oh hell I'm going to say it anyway. Once again I lean down to her ear.

"You said that you were strong before because you had Angela. Well guess what babe you have me now and forever."

More baby cries fill the air.

"Congratulations once again Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan you also have a little baby girl."

I can't fight it anymore tears start to roll down my face. Turning towards Bones I thought she would be laying down and falling asleep, but she far from that. She is half sitting up with a smile on her face. When she sees me try to hide my tears she laughs and starts to cry too.

"Booth, come here."

I move to sit beside her on the bed. As soon as I sit down she turns me to looks at her and tilts mu head down to firmly press her lips against mine. She pulls away shortly after because she is till tired and needs more oxygen.

"I love you Booth."

"I love you too Bones."

A nurse walks back over to us with the twins in her arms. She gives me our baby girl and Bones our little boy. The sight of Bones with one of our babies is breathtaking.

"Okay you two are you guys ready to gives these little ones their names?"

We both nod our head yes to the nurse.

"Let's start with the big guy over here. What will his first and middle name be?

"David Joseph" we both say at the same time. I turn my head to look at Bones and she laughs and smiles. We have one of our famous conversations with our eyes. The babies will be named the same as they were in my coma dream.

"And how about the first and middle name for the cute little girl here?"

Once again at the same time we say "Emily Christine."

The nurse smiles to herself and shakes her head.

"Okay so we have David Joseph and Emily Christine…"

"Booth" Brennan says as she cuts off the nurse. The nurse turns her eyes to look at me probably because I didn't say it at the same time. I'm just shocked. I never really had the chance to think about the fact that the twins would have my last name. The nurse writes down what their last names will be and leaves us alone for the first time since the twins have been born.

"Hey Booth, is everything okay? I know that we're not married or anything, but I really wanted the twins to have your last name is that okay? Are you mad at me?"

The tears are welling up in her eyes.

"No Bones I'm not mad at you baby. I guess I'm just a little shocked because in my coma dream you were married and had twins, but I never knew who you were married to and I never heard the last names of the babies."

"Booth, did you ever think that in your coma dream that you were married to me and that you died before the twins were born?"

"No, I never thought about it that way. I was never in one spot long enough to put the whole story together."

"Oh Booth forget about your dream." She laughed. "Welcome to the real world."

Leaning over I kiss both of the baby's heads then Bones on the lips.

"I know I told you this before, but it is a promise that I will put a ring on that finger."

There is a smile from ear to ear on my face. "I love you Bones."

"I love you too Booth."

I just got off the phone with Parker who can't wait to come to see his little brother and sister. I slowly open the door and enter Bone's hospital room. She is sound asleep on the bed. I pull up a chair and rest my head on the bed and take my hand and place it over hers. I close my eyes until Parker get here.

I step out of the room as my phone begins to vibrate in my pocket. I answer "Booth".

"Hi daddy! Mommy and I are here and I really want to see the babies so hurry up!"

"Okay buddy I'll be over to get you from the waiting room in a second."

"Sounds good daddy, see you soon."

I make my way over to the waiting room to see Rebecca trying to handle a bouncing over excited Parker.

"Parker" I say as I drop down to my knees waiting for the running hug that I know is coming.

"DADDY!" he runs over and gives me my hug while I stand up with him in my arms and make my way over towards Rebecca.

"Seeley, I have to get over to work something came up so do you think you can keep him until after dinner?"

"Sure Rebecca no problem."

With a kiss on my cheek she says "Thank you and congratulations Seeley. Parker you behave for your dad. I'll see you after dinner."

"Bye Mommy!"

Parker is wiggling so much I have to put him down.

"Parks, you need to hold my hand and no yelling okay? First let's go to the nursery to see your new baby brother and sister."

Over at the window I pick up Parker so he can see.

"Alright Parker see the two babies that are closest to us those are your new little brother and sister."

With a big smile on his face he turns towards me "Daddy, they are so tiny."

"You were that tiny once too you know."

"Wow really what are their names?"

Pointing to my right I say "Well that is your baby brother David and the one in the pink hat next to him is your little sister Emily."

"I'm going to be a good big brother dad. I'm going to help out when I stay at your house and when they get bigger I'm going to play with David and keep my little sister Emily safe."

I can't believe how much Parker has grown up.

"You're going to be the best big brother anyone could ever have."

"Daddy?"

"Yeah buddy?"

"Happy Birthday. Can we go see Bones now?"

Laughing to myself I answer "Thank you Parker and yes we can go see Bones now, but you have to remember no yelling and if she is still sleeping we will have to do something else until she wakes up."

"Dad, I love Bones."

"Me too buddy. Me too."

I quickly peek into Bone's room again. This time she is awake.

"Hey Booth where did you go?"

"I brought you a surprise."

Parker runs into the rooms and right over to her bed yelling "Bones! Bones! Bones! Guess what!"

"Parker, what did I tell you about being quiet?"

"I'm sorry Daddy."

Parker looks back to Bones and whispers "Bones guess what."

"What?"

"I'm a big brother now and daddy says I'm going to be the best."

Brennan laughs "Did you get to see your little brother and sister?"

"Yes, daddy showed them to me. They are so tiny!"

I can't help, but laugh along with Bones at how excited Parker is.

"Parker, you want to come sit up here with me and then you can tell me all the things you want to?"

"Can I Daddy. Please. Please. Please."

I lift him up and place him next to Bones. Parker snuggles as close as he can to Bones side and she wraps her arms around him as he begins to go on and on about anything and everything.

Looking down from heaven at the view at the hospital is Pops and Brennan's mom Christine

Christine looks over at Pops and says "Seeley made the right choice."

"Sometimes Shrimp just needs a little push in the right direction."

"It's the same way with Temperance."

They both watch as Parker continues to talk and Booth gives Brennan a kiss on her temple and she turns and smiles at him.

"Well it looks like they're both in heaven now."
