Chapter 43

Just a note: Angela and Hodgins are married, no previous marraige for her or anything, Max never showed up, and Booth never arrested him.

4 months later

Brennan took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach. She took a final look in the mirror. Her hair was pulled loosely back from her face, curly strands escaping, falling over her shoulders. The dress was a simple design, the silk hugging her body until it reached her knees, then gently flaring out as it reached the floor.

She wore no veil, she had insisted on that. She had also tried to avoid the 'something old, something new' tradition, but Angela had argued with her until she had agreed. She wore her mother's earrings, and a necklace borrowed from Angela. A simple gold bracelet encircled her wrist, the word 'Mom' engraved on it. Tears came to her eyes as she remembered Parker giving it to her last night, his brown eyes hopeful. "You're gonna be my second mom, right?" She had nodded, not trusting her voice, and she now wore it proudly. As for the blue, well, Booth would have to find that later.

The door opened, and she turned, looking up into the face of her best friend. "Ang."

"Sweetie, you look beautiful! You are going to take Booth's breath away, trust me!"

"You look great too, Ang." She was wearing a dress of pale blue silk, the fabric clinging to her body, showing her slightly rounded stomach. She shook her head. "I can't believe I'm doing this."

"You're not having second thoughts, are you? You can't! You and Booth are..."

"No Ang. Don't worry." She smiled. "I want to marry him, more than ever. I just never thought I would, you know?"

"I know!" She laughed. "You were the one telling ME not to marry Hodgins!"

"No I didn't! I merely pointed out that marraige is an antiquated ritual, and..."

"Right! And look at us now!" She ran her hand over her stomach. "I'm married with a baby on the way, and you have a 9 month old, and are about to walk down the aisle!"

Brennan joined in the laughter.

A knock on the door interrupted them, then a headful of blonde curls appeared in the doorway. "Dr. Bones?"

"Come on in, Parker."

He bounded in, looking absolutely adorable in his white tux. "They're ready, Dr. Bones."

"I guess that's my cue." Angela hugged Brennan, then turned and walked out.

Brennan leaned down to Parker. "You look very handsome, Parker."

"Wait till you see daddy!"

She smiled and hugged him. "I love you, Parker."

"I love you too, Dr. Bones."

She stood up and held out her hand. "Ready?"

"Yep!" He took her hand, and led her out of the room.

They walked down the lawn, out into the gardens. She had gambled, wanting an outdoor wedding in September, but she won. It was a beautiful day.

They stood at the end of the aisle, and she felt a slight pang, wishing that her father could be here, to walk her down the aisle. She shook off the thoughts. She already had her escort.

Parker was taking his role very seriously. He had practiced for hours. He didn't want to mess anything up. He smiled up at her, then took her hand and started to lead her down the aisle.

Booth's breath caught as he watched her, Parker tightly clinging to her hand. He couldn't believe this was actually happening. He searched her face for any sign of doubt or hesitation, but he found none. She caught his eye and smiled, and he smiled back. He watched his son, bringing the woman he loved to him, and knew that this was the happiest day of his life.

BBBBBBBBBB

Booth pulled his wife into his arms for their first dance. She leaned into him and sighed. She looked up at him, a look of contentment on her face. "I can't believe I actually did it!"

He laughed. "Do you really think that after you said yes, I was going to let you get out of it?"

"Thankfully no." She lay her head on his shoulder. "I love you, Booth."

"I love you too, Bones."

She finally pulled him off the dance floor quite a few dances later. "I need a break, Booth!"

He laughed. "Hey, I love to dance with you, and now I have an excuse! You can have a break, Bones, but don't think I'm not going to drag you out there again soon!"

She looked over to the table, where Angela was feeding Matthew, trying to keep his tiny white suit clean. Zach and Dr. Goodman were standing at one side of the dance floor, looking a little lost. Rebecca was dancing with Parker, and it looked like he was talking a mile a minute, like usual.

Booth followed her gaze. "What are you thinking?"

"That you were right. There are different kinds of families. I just happen to have a pretty odd one." She smiled. "But this is all the family I need."

"Are you sure?"

She looked up at him. There was something in his voice...

He smiled at her, then looked over her shoulder.

She turned and followed his gaze. She gasped as she saw her father, standing on the other side of the dance floor, watching her. She turned back to Booth, and he smiled at her.

"Go." He let go of her.

"Booth..."

He shook his head. "He's got a free pass today. Kind of like a 'get out of jail free' card."

"But Cullen..."

"...is up at the main house with Hodgins." He reached out and brushed away the single tear that escaped her eyes. "Go dance with your father."

Booth watched her as she walked toward her father. He smiled as she stopped to speak to him, her body stiff, then after a few moments, she relaxed and let him take her in his arms.

Angela walked up to him, holding Matthew. "You are the most sentimental FBI agent I've ever met!"

He looked at her, an innocent look on his face. "What?"

"You found her father, a wanted fugitive, made sure he would be at his daughter's wedding, and, at the risk of your job, you're not taking him into custody! You, Seeley Booth, are just too perfect!"

He looked embarrassed. "It really wasn't..."

"Oh, please! Don't try to get out of it!" She handed him Matthew. "It's a good thing that the few FBI friends you invited are in the process of getting hammered!"

He laughed. "They don't know Max Keenan, anyway. I just had to make sure I got rid of Cullen."

"I'm sure Hodgins can keep him busy for awhile!" They both laughed together.

"Excuse me a minute, Angela." He walked over to the dj.

Brennan was lost in her thoughts. She was dancing with her father at her wedding. She couldn't believe Booth had done this for her. Her father hadn't spoken much, just told her how much he loved her, then had taken her in his arms. Brennan was so caught up in her thoughts, that it took her a moment to realize that the song had changed. She smiled as she recognized the opening bars of the song, the song that her father had sung to her so long ago, the song that she and Booth had sung after she and her father had rescued him from being tortured. She looked up, as her father started to softly sing the words to "Keep on Tryin''. She looked over to the dj, and smiled. Booth stood there, Matthew in his arms, watching her. She mouthed the words 'thank you', and he just nodded, then she lay her head back on her father's shoulder, gently swaying with him to the music.

Epilogue - 2 years later

Brennan looked up from her hospital bed, to see Booth, holding Matthew, standing there with Parker. She smiled. My boys she thought. She looked down at the infant in her arms.

Booth walked in with the boys. Parker was excited, but, at 8, he took his status as older brother very seriously, so he tried to look grown up. Matthew, however, had no such qualms. "Mommy!" he cried, running over to her before Booth could stop him. He ran to the bed, then stopped suddenly. "I'm a big brover!"

Brennan smiled. "Yes you are. Do you want to see her?"

He nodded eagerly. Booth picked him up and sat him down on the bed beside her, much like he had done to Parker when Matthew was born. Parker stood beside him, and Booth walked around to the other side of the bed. They looked down at the baby, beautiful brown eyes, her daddy's eyes, staring up at them. "Say hello to your sister."

"Ohh, pwetty! What's her name?"

Booth spoke up. "This, boys, is Alexandria Joy." He sat down on the bed beside his wife, while Parker and Matthew oohed and aahed over the baby. He leaned down and kissed her lightly. "I love you, Temperance."

She looked up at him, the love she had for him written on her face. "I love you too, Seeley."
