4. The End

4. The End

"Once upon a time there was a handsome FBI Agent, and he met a beautiful forensic anthropologist. After working a case together they kissed, but argued later and the FBI Agent didn't see the anthropologist for a year."

Booth pulled his daughter closer, smiling as she tried to cover a yawn.

"The FBI Agent convinced the anthropologist to work with him again on another case and the two became partners. Now, many years passed and they defeated lots and lots of bad guys, but lots of bad things happened to them. They fell in love but were too scared to admit it. The FBI Agent finally told his partner, but she couldn't risk losing him and so the two spent a long time apart in different countries."

"On opposite sides of the world."

"Right. When they finally returned the FBI Agent had a new girlfriend. He thought he was in love with her but truly he would always love the anthropologist the most, and so they broke up. When one of the anthropologist's squinterns left they were both very sad, and to make each other happy again they became a couple. One night after a little prince was born the anthropologist told the FBI Agent that she was pregnant—"

"And he was the Daddy."

"Sure was. Nine months later their little princess was born in a stable, not very princessy, but perfect. The FBI Agent and the anthropologist had a lot of ups and downs and defeated lots more bad guys before they finally got married and lived happily, ever, after. The end."
