A/N: Now that the shock has worn off, are you ready for the next one? I'm sorry, I can't hear you… what was that? YES! Alright... here you are!

"You could go to jail, Booth…" she stated.

Seeley ran a hand through his hair. "Only if I'm caught, and-"

"You can't conceal something like this!" Bones told him. "It's impractical to think that you could go on with everyday existence and not draw attention to yourself, when many of the population of Afghanistan will know what you did, Booth. It was such a dumb thing to do!"

Seeley lowered his head to his hands. He knew he had done something stupid, but this was a child. This was a little girl that was on the verge of being killed, because she had no one to look after her. People didn't care what happened to this child. But he cared. Seeley cared about the Kali's well being, he cared if she lived or died. He had every intention of raising this child as Parker's sister, and no one was going to dampen his spirits on this. He had saved this girl, and he was going to keep her.

"Booth…" Bones was looking at him with careful caution.

He looked up to meet her eyes.

"You saved this girl, and I think that's a wonderful quality in you, Booth, that you feel compelled to save so many people…" her eyes began to fill with tears. "But if anything happens to you, if you end up in prison because-"

He took her face in his hands and forced her to focus on him. "Nothing is going to happen to me. Bones, I am just trying to give this girl a winning chance at life, I need her to know that life is NOT all bad. I am going to be her father…"

"And her mother?" Bones asked.

He felt a catch in his throat.

"She was killed, Bones."

"No," she shifted uncomfortably. "I mean, I mean who are you intending to be her mother now?"

He watched her for a moment. Was this a trick question? He decided to take the plunge.

"If you want to Bones… you could be her mother."

She seemed to contemplate the idea.

"I…" she watched his face, as if to find if he was serious. "This would mean, she would be OURS, Booth. Do you think you and I are ready to form a connection strong enough to raise a family?"

"Yes," he answered without hesitation. "I think you and I would be wonderful parents. Listen, Bones, you told me a while ago that you wanted to have my baby, and I bailed, I won't bail this time… you and me, we can do this!"

"Booth, I…"

"Don't be scared, Bones. You will be a wonderful mother. I know you… and you will give this child more love and understanding than any other in the history of parenthood."

"You can't base that on reality, Booth… it wouldn't be correct. You are not aware of each quality of a parent and-"

She was off on one of her "science talks" again.

He only smiled. "Okay," he settled. "I'll base it on faith. I have faith you will be the best parent you can be."

She nodded. "Alright…"

His heart pulsated. "Are you serious?"

Bones frowned in obvious confusion. "I thought this was what you wanted?"

"I do," he insisted. "I do… I just-I thought it would take a little more convincing that's all."

She pressed her lips together in a tight line before she answered. "If you want me to be the mother, Booth… I will."

"I want you to," he nodded.

"Well, good."

"Good," he grinned widely.

It took a moment for the conversation to actually sink in. The two of them were going to raise a child. The two of them had a lot to talk about.

A lot of people were asking for this, and since I promised a happy ending, it's coming, but I must warn you I have an idea, and that means MORE chapters but ALSO MORE drama. :)

If you want another chapter, I want more reviews… fair is fair.
