On Thanksgiving, Booth went to the address Parker told him and at the time he was told: 7:40 p.m.

Booth liked the look of the house. It was fancy.

Booth went up to the door and knocked. He waited for a moment until a woman opened the door. She looked so familiar, but Booth couldn't remember who she was.

"Hi, I'm Seeley. Is Parker and Rebecca here?" he asked.

The woman's eyes widened as she asked, "Do you not remember me?"

"Wh-"

"Hey, Dad!" Parker interuppted, "Come inside! Temperance, Mom needs you in the kitchen."

Brennan looked at Parker in confusion then went into the kitchen.

"So, he doesn't remember you?" Rebecca asked. Brennan nodded and Rebecca continued, "Remember when Booth left the hospital? That was the last time he saw you before he wrecked his car. He totalled his car, rolled it down a huge hill. He hit his head a fuck ton," Rebecca wiped her tears away, "Booth couldn't remember you or anyone at the Jeffersonian."

Before Brennan could continue, the Jeffersonian crew arrived.

"Angela, Hodgins, Cam, Sweets, Daisy! Kitchen! NOW!" Brennan hollered.

They all went inti the kitchen and Brennan explained that Booth had lost his memory.

Soon after, It was dinner time. Before everyone one began eating, Jaime stood up and said, "Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement," Everyone at the table looked at him, "I am gay. Like 100%. Not bi. Not pan. I'm full on gay. I've tried looking at girls. Watching straight porn. Looking at Playboy magazines. None of it worked! I am who I am. And not only am I gay but I am in a relationship," Jaime offer Parker his hand and Parker took it, standing up, "I am in love with you, Parker," Jaime then took his attention back to the others, "We've been together since eighth grade and I've never been happier. I love him and he loves me. I hope you all can accept that."

Parker and Jaime sat down.

"I, for one," Brennan began, "Have known that you two are together and I fully support it."

"How?" Rebecca asked Brennan, "How are you okay with this?"

"With what?"

"With these faggots!"

Angela stood up and slammed her fists onto the table, "It is just love! They are in love! Let them be happy!"

Rebecca stood up and grabbed Parker's arm tightly, "C'mon, let's go."

Parker tried to pull away. He was crying. Jaime couldn't stand it.

He stood up and grabbed Parker's arm. He growled, "Let him go!"

Rebecca slapped Jaime with her other hand and hissed, "Get your filthy paws off my son!"

Brennan angrily punched Rebecca in the stomach, causing he to let go of Parker and gasp for air.

Once she caught her breath, she said, "You are no longer my son. I'll drop all of your things off here tomorrow."

Rebecca left and Parker began sobbing. Jaime took his hand and walked him upstairs to his bedroom so he could comfort Parker.

Everyone ate, even though they weren't very hungry anymore. Well... Daisy was still really hungry but she's pregnant.

Booth stared at everyone, then finally asked, "Why are you all so familiar?"

Everyone went quiet, until Brennan finally said, "We were all friends. You got into a car crash and lost your memory."

"Why didn't you-"

"Come see you? Tell you that we're your friends?" Brennan asked, "I really hurt you. Rebecca thought it was best for me to stay out of your life."

"We stayed away because it was unfair for us to get to see you but not Bren," Angela said.

"How did you hurt me?" Booth asked.

Brennan looked down at her plate as she said, "You were my best friend. I loved you and you loved me, but you kissed another girl. So I left. You went crazy trying to find me. You found me at my ex husband's house. You also found out I was pregnant with our child. On the way back home, you found out my son, whom was kidnapped, was in the hospital. You drove me to the hospital and in the car I realized I was having a miscarriage. I lost our baby and I told you that we couldn't be together."

Booth began to remember bits and pieces.

"Friends. Got it," Booth said aloud.

"You remember?" Brennan asked.

"You made me remember," Booth said looking down.

They all took turn sharing memories with Booth. He began to remember them. Soon after, everyone left except for Booth. It was just Booth and Brennan. They had moved over to the couch now.

"So you're telling me that we made out a couple days after we met?" Booth chuckled.

Brennan nodded, "Yep! Thanks to a bottle of tequila."

Booth laughed as he started to remember.

"Man, we shared so many memories. I don't know how I'll be able to remember everything!" Booth sighed.

"I have an idea," Brennan said with a smirk as she moved over to Booth and passionately kissed him. She was about to pull away when Booth began to kiss her back, running his fingers through her hair. He lifted her up by her up by her hips and sat her down on his lap.

During that kiss, his entire life with Brennan flashed before his eyes. He remembered everything about Brennan and every memory of her.

He remembered she hated to know how much she weighed. She prefered tea over coffee but drank coffee to get herself through the day. She was a hopeless romantic, even though she would never admit it. She went to martial arts practice weekly on Wednesdays. She had a strong need for justice. She often felt alone because of how many people she's lost.

He remembered their first kiss. Their first fight. The first time he had ever seen her. The first time he saw her smile.

He remembered her smile. The way she laughed. The way she cried. The way she hid her pain so easily. The way she acted when she was angry.

When they pulled away from each other, Booth chuckled and said, "How could I ever have forgotten you, Bones?"

"What the fuck, Mom!?!?!?!"

Brennan and Booth looked over and saw Jaime and Parker staring at them in shock.
