Epilogue

Booth gave Brennan her necklace that first night of their new beginning. She remembered it so well. They had made love, sweet, slow sensuous love. They confessed their deep love. It was magical, and mystical. The fantasies she held never compared to what they shared.

A year and a half later, they sat by the Christmas tree, star-crossed lovers reunited. Brennan wished she had something special to give him. She hadn't brought the simple tie she purchased because it was more of a gift to a friend than what Booth had become to her. She wanted to give him something that meant she loved him and only him forever. She would have to wait until later to get that, for now her love would suffice.

Booth's secretive grin didn't even tip her off. She figured it had something very much to do with the previous night spent in passionate, abandoned arduous pleasure. But after they took turns opening up Olivia and John's gifts and one from little Billy too, the grin seemed to widen. Brennan couldn't believe it when Booth pulled out the velvet box.

"I bought this for you a long time ago, but I never had the chance to give it to you." Booth explained dispelling her supposition.

"Booth?" Brennan's heart surged with love knowing he had not only thought of it, but he kept it just in case.

"Aren't you going to open it?" He watched her confusion as she held it tentatively. He figured she was probably afraid to open it.

"When?" Brennan needed to know.

"That night... the night we broke up." Booth looked slightly embarrassed but for once that didn't stop him. "It was supposed to be our beginning, I wanted to give you something that, that meant that... I loved… love you!" His eyes burnt with adoration now and it sent responsive palpitations to Brennan's heart. They held the look for what seemed like hours but it was only seconds. "I love you." He said it
again as though he had been saying it all his life. And she heard it as though she had for an eternity.

"I love you too." Brennan's eyes filled as she turned the box in her hands. She was overcome with emotion.

"You gotta look, I promise it won't bite."

"Bite me!" Brennan whispered softly in a jesting tone.

"Later." He teased her temptingly. "Now, would you please open it?" He couldn't wait to see her reaction. She was sitting here with Booth and he was giving her something she actually never expected but had desired from the moment that they were officially together. This was so unexpected that her heart lurched with the thought of actually opening it and seeing what it was. The fact that he bought it so long ago meant everything. Booth loved her. What she thought would never happen was happening and it felt so right and so perfect.

"You afraid I have bad taste?"

"Oh Booth!" Brennan couldn't resist a jab; the sparring was part of who they were. "I know you have bad taste!"

"Hey! Just for that, I'm taking it back!" He made a move to grab the box away but she was quick to protect her gift.

"Oh, no you don't! You can't really argue about this Booth, may I remind you of a couple of your all-time greatest gift ideas!"

"No!" Booth quickly answered.

"Oh come on, you don't really want to forget the Christmas gift to me that keeps on giving, now do you?"

"Please Bones? It was an honest mistake!"

"Well, I'm sure the cleaning service didn't feel that way!"

"I made it up to you, didn't I?" Booth insisted.

"Uh... yeah Booth, those windshield covers came in very handy in my garage! By the way, have you ever tried to put one of those on in the wind? It was very practical."

She got one of those eyebrow-furrowed-frustrated-to-the-core looks he was so good at.

Brennan tried to suppress a giggle.

Booth was blushing. Okay, so he gave some pretty bleak gifts in the past.

"Bones I promise this gift won't make a mess." His eyes softened as he shook his head assuring her it was safe. He was safe.

Brennan was enjoying his befuddled look, and in truth she was afraid to open this gift. She knew she was going to cry. No matter what it was, she knew she would love it because he picked it out especially for her when she thought he didn't care at all. This was one of a kind especially for her. The feeling of knowing he had felt that way about her ages ago was amazing. She felt so many emotions right now she wasn't sure she liked being so out of control.

Booth wondered what in the world was taking her so long. He sensed she was stalling but he didn't understand why. He wanted her to see what he had held secret for so long. He wanted her to feel cherished and treasured. This was something to remind her of his feelings for her daily, hourly, every moment. This was to confirm their love and to show her when his hands were not embracing her, his diamond would be, its warmth, and iridescent, sparkle was to demonstrate to her the warmth and sparkle she brought to his life. He wanted it to be a symbol of the present.

He remembered packing for this trip and how his fingers searched the drawer frantically for the sock. So prudently he reverently set the box carefully in his bag. Yes. She would love it.

"Please open it, I'm not sure why you don't want to, but I really want you to..."

She swallowed the fears, she pushed down the crazy urge to throw it at him and run away. She was afraid. She dealt with these fears for so long, the insecurity of losing someone that meant everything to her haunted her. She was afraid of letting go, and letting him become that important to her. He already was as she gazed into his smoldering eyes she knew it was too late already. No running. No avoiding losing control, she had lost the power and the will to hide her love. He was not holding back, she could see it in his eyes, and his sweet face. She bent her head down so he wouldn't see the surrendering tears.

As Brennan opened the box her breath caught. It was the most beautiful perfect diamond ring she had ever seen. "Oh, Booth!" Her voice was muddled in tears as he took over for her trembling hands removing the ring from the box.

"I was going to ask you that night, but after what happened, I wasn't sure it was meant to be. But I held on to it, I had a feeling that one day I would ask you, and we would be happy, and this is that moment. I want you to be my wife. I want to marry you and take care of you for 30, 40, 50 years."

"Booth…"

"Bones, please marry me? Give me the honor to be your husband?" Booth asked taking her hand in his.

"I never thought this would happen." She said through her tears.

"Is that a yes, Bones?"

"Yes, yes." Brennan laughed; happiness was evident in her voice.

He reverently placed the ring where it belonged on her beautiful finger. The ring could never compare with the owner. There was no one more beautiful. He gently caressed her hand. She looked at him emotionally and their lips closed the distance. As they jointly gulped for a little oxygen shot before pursuing their pleasures Brennan whispered softly. "I love that you kept it all this time."

"It was my hope..." Booth's eyes glistened as the feelings of having that hope finally spilled out.

"Mine too, and you were wrong about this gift..." Brennan assured him as their lips hungry, and insatiably tantalized each other and found sustenance again and again.

"How so?" His curious whispering lips teased her eyelids.

"I have fallen in love with it."

"Ah... well, I can't always be right..."

They kissed again and as they separated for air once again, they gazed into each other's eyes.

"You still think I have no taste?" Booth teased.

Brennan pressed her lips to his then whispered. "Mmmmmm..." She purred as she whispered just how delicious he was. Their bodies melted into one another, as their mutual laughter became carnal pleasure.

"Tonight will always be one of my best memories. This is even more perfect than I have ever imagined." Booth told her after another kiss. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other.

Brennan smiled, "There is something else that will make tonight unforgettable."

"What?" Booth's eyes glistened as he thought of what else could make this night perfect. Brennan had already said yes, and there was nothing else he could ask her. They were both happy, and he would never take that for granted.

"I wasn't going to tell you tonight, I was going to wait until tomorrow morning. I just thought we..." Brennan blushed a little.

"What's going on, Bones?" Booth asked curiously, and concern was evident in his voice.

"Well…" She looked into his eyes feeling a little shy. "I'm pregnant."

Booth's grin was from ear to ear as his cloudy eyes cleared happily. His hands were no longer responding in reflex as they caressed her back lovingly. "Are you serious?" His smile was contagious.

"Yes. I'm eight weeks tomorrow. I wanted to wait a little longer to make sure that everything was okay. But I can't hold on to it any longer."

"This is the best news ever." Booth couldn't contain his excitement. "How long have you know?"

"For about two weeks, but I went to the doctor this week to confirm it."

Booth's hand touched her stomach, "There's really a baby in there?" He asked amused.

"Isn't that what I just told you, Booth?" She asked seriously.

"You are right, we will never forget tonight." He pulled her into his arms. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"You are beautiful, Bones and I know you will be even more beautiful when you are nine months pregnant." Booth's lips caressed her cheek as his fingers searched out the glittering necklace he had given her a year and a half ago. He held the dangling chain reverently. "There isn't anything more beautiful in this world than you." He confided this as if it was his most sacredly guarded secret and Brennan couldn't help but smile.

Her hand caressed his gently.

"I think we just made the most beautiful thing ever." Brennan confessed.

"Yes, this baby has the best qualities of the two of us. She will be perfect." He smiled.

"Or he."

"No, it's going to be a girl. I have no doubt about that."

"We will see about that." She hoped he was right, she wanted to have Booth's daughter. Not that a boy would be a bad thing, but she couldn't wait to see Booth holding their baby girl in his arms.

"We have so much to celebrate." Booth took her hand and started walking towards the stairs. She followed behind, ready for whatever he was planning.

"Yes, I know."

"We have everything we ever wanted." He said once they got to the bedroom.

"We have hope," she said simply. Knowing she would never say it if it wasn't true, Booth nodded and buried his head into the hallow of her shoulder.
