A/N: The last chapter… hope you enjoy it, and to those who reviewed, alerted and read through this… thank you immensely. :D

The arrangements of adoption took both time and effort, but Brennan and Booth were careful to make sure that every step of the way, Kali was comfortable with the choices they were making for her. Kali insisted that she was excited about her new family, and even Parker showed enthusiasm about having a baby sister.

The last detail was signing a form, and as the four of them stood in the office, wanting to sign the document with each member of the family present. Brennan was beginning to feel the effects of family life, and she loved it, every minute of having children under her feet, and a busy schedule of both work and play.

Brennan had suggested that she and Booth have separate bedrooms, he had been surprised at first, wanting to treat the marriage like a real one, and not one of simple business arrangement but he didn't push the issue, and was patient with her, knowing that Brennan took longer than the average person when it came to change of any sort. Brennan liked routine.

The two of them stood side by side in the adoption office.

"You sure you want to do this…" Booth asked turning to Brennan.

She nodded. "I do," she smiled.

"Alright," he took a deep breath and put pen to paper, signing his name before sliding the form across the table to her. She signed it in one swift move, and handed it to the man standing with them.

"Congratulations! You are officially the adoptive parents of Kali Abd-ul-Rahim." the man in the corner announced.

Brennan knelt down beside Kali and smiled. "It's all finished."

"You're my mom?" she asked wide eyed and grinning.

"I sure am," she smiled kissing her gently on the cheek. Booth and Parker took their turn in welcoming her to the family, and then with all the details over with, the four of them – the Booth family – walked out.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

The day had been long, the court case had been tough, but as usual Booth had managed to wave over the mess he had made, and come out on the other side, smelling like aftershave. The case had been won. Booth had been released of all charges, concerning the kidnapping of the child in question, and had been released into the public again.

Several witnesses had been brought forward to re-affirm that the marriage Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan had entered into was one of substance, and realism, and not a novelty for the sake of winning the case.

"I ain't performing no ceremony without the absolute promise of love," Caroline pointed out. "I knew they were in love from the moment they locked eyes… I made 'em kiss under the mistle-toe!" she said proudly.

"When Dr. B and I were trapped in a car, she had faith in Booth, and she doesn't have faith in anything that's not scientifically proven!" Hodgins stated matter-of-factly.

After Angela had explained to the judge, all that she saw in their relationship, it was as good as over.

"The two of them are like Romeo and Juliet… they would die without each other. There isn't anything the two of them wouldn't do for each other, that being said all you have to do is see them together to know that love is the foundation of their partnership. I say that with sincerity, your honor." The thing was, Angela honestly believed it, and fortunately, so did the judge.

Booth was a free man.

Both Brennan and Booth put the children to bed, that night. Parker was spending the night with his new sister, with Rebecca's blessing, which to Parker was still exciting and she was picking him up the following day, from the diner. Parker and Kali were beginning to resemble conjoined twins, in that they never wanted to be apart. It warmed Brennan and Booth's heart to see it.

Brennan tucked in her new daughter, and kissed her cheek. "I love you…" she whispered.

"I love you, too, mommy," the girl whispered back.

Brennan's heart expanded at the name presented by the child. It filled her with warmth that she had never experienced. This must have been what it was like to be a mother. Booth and Brennan swapped over, and Booth went to Kali while Brennan said her goodnights to Parker.

"Goodnight, little man," she kissed him softly as he cuddled her.

"Night, Dr. Bones…" he muttered sleepily.

She looked down at him. "You can call me Bones, if you like…" she offered.

Parker nodded and yawned, closing his eyes.

Brennan felt her hand being pulled, and looked to see Booth. She allowed him to drag her outside of the bedroom and into the hallway.

"They're great, aren't they?" he smiled.

"Perfect," she agreed.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, surprising her. But she did not reject him. There was something about the way he held her, that made her feel the very thing he promised in his wedding vows… safe and protected.

"You know, we're married now…" Booth pointed out.

"Legally," she agreed, resting her hands on his upper arms.

"Exactly," he nodded. "Mrs. Booth."

She frowned as she absorbed the words he said. "It was nothing more than…" she considered her next words carefully, as his smile slowly disappeared. It's time to be honest with yourself Temperance Brennan, she ordered silently, willing her brain to comply. "Mrs. Booth?" she repeated liking the way it rolled off her tongue.

"Do you like it?"

Brennan nodded shyly. "I think I do."

"I love you, Bones…" he said gently wiping her fringe from her forehead.

Brennan looked into his eyes and smiled, feeling content with the way her life had panned out. It was time to tell him what he longed to hear, what she had been feeling for a very long time. "I love you, Booth… I love you very much, in all the ways that you explain love is, in all that I feel, in all that I don't, I love you. Science can't explain that," she shrugged. "But I'm not afraid… I trust you."

A smile that she had never seen before crossed his face.

"Are you happy?" she asked.

"Yes, Bones, VERY happy." He bent down only slightly to brush his lips with hers, feeling the power of their chemistry ignite into one explosive kiss, that make the earth move from under them.

Brennan moaned as she allowed the kiss to gravitate.

He opened a gap, careful not to let his arms release her body. "You know, Bones," he murmured. "Now that we are married, there are certain wifely duties that are custom to marriage…"

"You mean sex?" she asked bluntly.

Booth laughed. "Yes, Bones. I mean sex."

"Good. I was wondering about that…"

"Yeah," he smirked. "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking you'd never ask…" she grinned dragging him towards the master bedroom.

THE END!
