A/N: How is Booth feeling as he waits patiently for Brennan, and how will Booth cope when faced with an enraged Max… read on and find out. :D

Nervously, Booth stood by the reflecting pool in his proper place by the minister, and his son who was the ring bearer, and evidently proud of that fact. Jarrod was his best man, and Hodgins stood beside him for extra support, along with his Pops, who he couldn't have shared the day without, standing there proudly looking at his grandchild. Booth saw Rebecca in the crowd, and mentally reminded himself to thank Brennan for that later, he knew that Rebecca and him had unresolved issues, especially concerning marriage, but he was glad that Brennan had invited her, and even more so that she had actually come, for their son, if nothing else.

He looked at his watch again.

"Dad, she's not going to come any quicker," Parker told him.

Booth laughed nervously. "I'll tell you that on your wedding day!" he stated.

"SEELEY!" a voice boomed.

Booth turned to see Max marching up to him.

Oh bugger… the last thing I need is a dirty suit or a black eye.

Booth stepped back, an arm protectively around his son.

"Hi, Max," he kept his voice steady and even.

"You little punk!" he reached out and grabbed Booth's suit forcing him to back up a couple of steps to regain his footing. "You think that you marrying her is going to keep you out of prison!" he barked.

"Max…" he replied firmly, aware that his son was looking up at him with worry. "I would NEVER hurt Bones, you know that. It wasn't-"

"You are marrying her under false pretense!" he pointed out angrily.

"No, I'm not," Booth said defensively. "I am marrying her because I love her."

Max locked eyes with him, as if trying to read into his soul.

"Max," Jarrod warned. "Think of Tempe…"

"You don't be threatening, my grandson!" Pops demanded, shaking a trembling fist at Max.

Max stepped back, concluding, that he was telling the truth.

Booth straightened his suit. "Bones wanted this, Max. She insisted she wanted to do this, I never asked her, it was her idea, and I rejected the proposal several times before I agreed."

"If it was that easy, why didn't you go to a registry office?" he asked suspiciously.

"Angela got wind of it, and… you can't exactly tell her what to do."

"That's for damn sure," Hodgins mumbled from beside him.

Max stepped up, far into Booth's personal space, inches from his face, and spat at him. "If you EVER hurt my daughter, Seeley, I will come after you… and you know that my threats are never empty ones when my children are in harm's way. Emotionally, mentally or physically, you better keep that in mind," he stated.

Booth nodded. He had no intention of ever hurting Brennan, so his threat was moot point.

"No worries, Max," he promised.

Max stepped back, and offered a hand. It took Booth a moment to shake it. "Welcome to the family, son…"

Booth could only smile.

I'm guessing you are waiting for the wedding now… I know, I know… *slaps herself* what was I thinking. You weren't interested in Max you want B&B love, don't you?

If you review, I will give you a nice surprise in the next chapter. *snickers* I love that I can still threaten you guys with chapters. :D
