Disclaimer: I don't own Angel or Bones.


Seeley and Temperance became a couple six weeks after saving the world as Angel and Cordelia.

"I'm so happy for you," Angela had told Brennan when she confessed the truth. She had a weird feeling they had confessed their feelings for each other before, but that feeling had quickly gone away.

"Love isn't rational," Bones told Booth after the two finally became a couple.

"Babe, love isn't supposed to be rational," Booth replied. He loved Bones so much.

A year later, the couple had moved in together. Booth decided not to push her to get married.

"I'm so glad that you don't want to get married," a happy Temperance said. She was glad that she didn't have to compromise her beliefs on getting married.

"I love you and it doesn't matter if you don't want to get married," Booth explained. He didn't mind as long as he was with this woman for the rest of his life.

Temperance was so happy about that she and Booth made love on the kitchen floor in their new apartment.

Nine months later, the couple was in the delivery room as Temperance delivered as son. The labor had lasted for twenty-three hours. She had been determined to go through natural childbirth, but it hadn't worked out. The pain had been so unbearable that Temperance had gotten an epidural in hour seventeen of the labor.

"What are we going to name him?" Booth asked his girlfriend. Parker was holding his as of yet unnamed little brother.

An exhausted Temperance smiled. They hadn't been able to decide on a name for a long time. "I like the name Liam," she decided. Liam Brennan-Booth was a great name and Temperance really loved it.

The name sparked something in Booth, but he ignored it. "I love you, Liam Chase Brennan-Booth," he whispered. He and Temperance had decided on the middle name of Chase months ago, but they had no idea why they liked the name so much.

Temperance and Liam went home two days later. "He's so beautiful," a seven months pregnant Angela told her best friend.

"I'm a big brother," Parker happily informed his aunt Angela. He adored Liam, and loved having the baby around.

Angela smiled. "I know you are, Kiddo. You're going to be the best big brother ever," she told him.

Eleven months after Liam's birth, Booth and Bones were back in the hospital. After a fourteen hour labor ("I'm going to kill you for doing this to me," Temperance had screamed in the middle of a particularly painful contraction.), the couple welcomed a daughter. They named her Delia Christine Brennan-Booth.

"She's my little princess," Booth told his girlfriend several hours after the birth. Delia was sleeping. Big brothers Parker and Liam were currently staying with their grandpa Max. He adored his grandchildren.

"She's our princess," Temperance corrected. She had never wanted children before, but Parker, Liam, and Delia had changed her mind.

Delia was born six weeks before Christmas. She received a few presents.

"I'm exhausted," Temperance complained to Angela. Parker had woken her and Booth up at 5:30, after they had finally fall asleep at 4:30. Delia and Liam had kept them awake for hours.

"That's what life is like with kids on Christmas," a laughing Angela explained. She loved the Brennan-Booth family so much. They were really happy.

Two months after Christmas, Andy's adoptive parents were killed in a car accident. After talking things over, Booth and Brennan decided to adopt the little boy that had stolen their hearts years earlier. Andy became a part of the family, and his siblings loved him.

Fourteen months after Delia's birth and a few months after Andy's adoption, the Brennan-Booth family expanded once again. After a labor that only lasted three hours, ("I didn't get to have an epidural," Temperance had wailed in the midst of pushing.) the two had another daughter. They named her Keely Winifred Brennan-Booth. Neither Booth nor Temperance decided on why they chose Winifred as a middle name. The name had come to Temperance in a dream. Surprisingly, Booth had liked it.

Now it was time for Parker to graduate from high school. Rebecca, her husband Pete, Seeley, and Temperance weren't handling that fact way. The teenager, who had legally changed his name to Parker Stinson Brennan-Booth after turning eighteen, was growing up way too much for them.

"You are all weird," Liam informed his mother and dad after Temperance burst into tears because Parker was growing up so fast.

"Wait until your oldest graduates from high school," Seeley shot back. He knew Liam's wife would probably react the same way when their kid graduated.

Liam rolled his eyes, and went over to find Andy, Delia, and Keely. He preferred to stay with his siblings instead of his overly emotional parents.

As the Brennan-Booth family watched Parker accept his diploma, Temperance and Seeley remembered how long it took them to get to this point.

They were happy, something they never could have been as Angel/Angelus/Liam and Cordelia Chase.

The End


I was thinking about them keeping their memories as Angel and Cordelia, but I changed my mind. I'm so glad this is over with. I'm thinking about writing an Andy story next, after I finish a few of my WIPs.
