Chapter 39- The Wedding: Part III-The Reception

Mr. and Mrs. Seeley Booth sat in their limo en-route to the reception hall. Nestled between them was Kaitlin, who was soundly sleeping.

"Booth, we just got married." Brennan said reaching over Kaitlin and taking her husband's hand.

"Bones, you do realize that you don't have to call me Booth anymore. And yes, we just got married." Booth said, completely star-struck.

"You will always be Booth to me. You are my Booth as I am your Bones. Would it bother you if I still called you Booth?"Brennan asked.

"No, as long as I get a Seeley every now and then," Booth said.

"Ok, Seeley. And will it bother you if people call me Brennan?" Brennan asked.

"No. You don't even have to add Booth to your name if you don't want to." Booth said.

"No I want to be Mrs. Seeley Booth. But my reputation is under Dr. Brennan, it would be difficult to demand to be called something else. And having two Booth's around the lab might make things a little confusing. I like being called Brennan; I have been Brennan for as long as I can remember."Brennan explained.

"Whatever makes you happy, Bones. I am thrilled you married me," Booth said, "You could never use my name and I will still be happy. You could change your name and I would be happy. If you're happy, then so am I."

"Okay. Good." Brennan said leaning over Kaitlin to kiss Booth.

"Besides," Booth said pulling away from Brennan "You agreed to give Kaitlin my name and that makes me over the moon happy. We are a family."

"I really feel that now," Brennan said "I really feel like a family." A few tears ran down Brennan's cheeks, "The family I longed for is now here. I have my Dad, Russ, you, Kaitlin. I have Ange, Hodgins, Cam and Zack. I have my family."

Booth kissed his wife, "I am thrilled to see you so happy." he said. They kissed passionately for a moment before the sound of Kaitlin whimper parted them. She was staring up at them with her huge green eyes. Her pink lips were pursed into a pucker, as if she had eaten something sour.

Brennan and Booth both starting laughing. Booth reached into his tuxedo pocket and pulled out a small camera. A took a few pictures of Kaitlin before turning the camera on Brennan. He snapped a few shots of his wife looking down at their daughter.

"What are you doing?" Brennan asked in a cooing voice.

"That is going on my desk at the office." Booth said slipping the camera into his pocket.

"If I look silly, your Daddy is a dead man." Brennan said to Kaitlin who was mesmerized by dancing phalanges.

"Bones, only one time have I seen you look more beautiful than you do today." Booth said allowing Kaitlin to wrap her tiny hand around his pointer finger.

"Oh yeah?" Brennan said. "When was that?"

"The day you were being wheeled out of Montoya's house. You were lying on the stretcher, unconscious. You were drenched in sweat and covered in dirt and blood," Booth said.

"Is that a joke?" Brennan asked "You thought I looked beautiful then?!"

"Bones, you don't understand."Booth said, "All the time you were gone I was terrified that the next time I was going to see you would be in a body bag. I was seeing you, now the mother of my child, alive. You may have been a mess but you were alive. Your heart was beating and you were was like I was seeing you for the first time and you were the most beautiful thing I had ever laid eyes on."

Now Brennan was crying. "Angela is going to be so mad at you Seeley," she said dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

"Why is that?"Booth asked.

"Because you are going to make me cry off my makeup," Brennan said laughing. She took out an emergency cosmetic bag, compliments of Angela, and applied a fresh coat of mascara.

"Bones," Booth said, "You are going to poke your eye out."

"No I am not," Brennan said closing the tube and putting it away.

"Madam, Sir?" the driver suddenly said. "We have arrived."

Booth and Brennan looked out the window at their reception hall, the Jeffersonian Institute.

!!MR. AND MRS. SEELEY BOOTH!!

Brennan and Booth stood outside the door leading to the auditorium. Inside they could hear music and laughter. Booth adjusted his arms to make Kaitlin more comfortable. Suddenly the music stopped and Angela's voice came over the speakers.

"Friends and Family," She said "It is my honor and pleasure to finally introduce to you my amazing friends, for the first time as…! Mr. and Mrs. Seeley Booth and their daughter Kaitlin!" The large double doors opened and Brennan and Booth walked into the room, greeted by a standing ovation. Booth passed Kaitlin off to Max, who was waiting at the door. He took Brennan's hand and led her out onto the dance floor.

"And now," Angela said, through tears, "Temperance and Seeley will have their first dance as husband and wife."

Brennan locked her arms around Booth's neck and he around her waist. The music started and the room disappeared. All they were aware of was each other.

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

"We made it." Brennan said.

"I knew we would." Booth leaned down and kissed his wife.

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

Brennan felt as though she were dancing on a cloud. She allowed Booth to lead her around the blue lit dance floor. She felt free and safe but most of all she felt complete. She wasn't alone any more.

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Booth felt Brennan squeeze him tight as he led her in circles. She laid her head on his chest and sighed. Booth leaned his head down "I love you." he whispered "More than anything in this world."

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Brennan looked up, tears trickled down her cheeks. God, she cried a lot nowadays. Booth wiped her tears away with his thumb. "I love you too." she said, "More than anything in this world."

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Brennan giggled as Booth twirled her away from him then pulled her back. For the first time since she was a little girl Brennan felt like a princess. Nothing and no one could take this moment away from them.

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
