99. Anniversary (Writer's Choice)
Sunday, October 21st 2018. Their five year wedding anniversary.
They'd barely been awake, sharing quiet whispers and soft, lazy kisses when two of their three children came barrelling into their bedroom, the face of the third grinning widely at them from the screen of Booth's iPad. Cards and presents had been given, breakfast eaten and children dressed and ready by the time Max had pulled into the driveway at eleven.
It was after they'd returned to their bedroom and were curled up blissfully in a postcoital haze that they exchanged cards, presents and kisses. The unusual quietness of their home lulled them to sleep, the ringing of her phone, caused by a certain best friend, waking them several hours later.
They'd dressed, eaten out but had left before dessert, making their way over to the Royal Diner for takeout pie. It was as they were eating, sitting on the steps leading down to the Jeffersonian gardens that she handed him the white envelope.
"Bones, come on, you've already given me the entire world—"
"Just open it. Please."
He sighed, rolling his eyes at her as he peeled open the envelope, his eyes widening as he read the document it held.
"You changed your name."
His words were barely audible, lost against her lips as he kissed her soundly.
"God, I love you so much, Bones— no, wait, wait. I love you so much, Temperance Booth."
"I love you too, very much."
Their smiles lit up their entire faces as they kissed, barely able to remain connected as she laughed happily.
"Happy anniversary, Booth."
"Happy anniversary, Bones."
