Just a little something that I thought of during a kicking set at swim practice.

A dull pain woke her.
It wasn't like anything she had felt before. Her hand moved to her swollen stomach, which was the source of the pain. It was almost like someone was drumming on her stomach from the inside.
It's too early for this, she thought, and glanced at the clock.
It was indeed early, and she had to work tomorrow, so she laid her head back down and closed her eyes.
But then it happened again.
A dull pain in her belly. It was kind of annoying.
But then she realized...
"Booth. Wake up." Brennan nudged the man next to her awake. He sat groggily up and looked at her with half-shut eyes.
"What?" he said, annoyed. But as soon as he saw her wide eyes, he sat up next to her. "What is it? Is something wrong?"
"No, Booth." he looked at her in confusion as her face spread wide in a smile. Brennan couldn't contain her excitement any longer. "I felt the baby kick."
Booth's eyes lit up with happiness. "Really?"
"Really." Brennan smiled widely. "Feel it." she picked up Booth's hand, and twining her fingers with his, placed it on her stomach. Sure enough, he could feel the dull thumps. The proof that they had made a life. Together. And he could feel it under his fingertips.
He looked at his partner to see tears rolling down her smiling face. He couldn't help as a drop of wetness rolled down his cheek, until it finally fell off of his cheek, wetting his thin tee.
"It's amazing, Bones." Booth laid a light kiss on her lips. "Just amazing." He gently wiped the tears from her face and got her to lie back down in bed with him.
They fell asleep that way, Booth's body curled around Brennan's with his hand on her stomach feeling the new life beginning, not just for their child, but for everyone.
