This is my first fanfic and will hopefully become multiple chapters. Set post season 6 when Brennan begins to realize her baby bump. Mind the M rating and don't read if you don't like smut. Enjoy!

Looking at her silhouette in the mirror, she saw who she was becoming… but how? She was strong and independent; maybe only impervious, but certainly capable of individuality. Temperance Brennan was far too rational to risk her metaphorical heart just to be with someone. But he had changed everything. Seeley Booth had convinced her that love is worth the risk and that he loved her more than she knew. She was never ready to accept his theory until the night that changed everything.

Learning once again that life is unpredictable, she was scared and went to him. He was there for her; holding her and talking to her, silently convincing her of his theory. She felt ready, or just too scared of losing him; and let him in. That night, he showed her what love was; that there was more to making love than sexual intercourse. Everything was just as he had promised, but neither of them could foresee love's beautiful consequence. That night was the only time she had ever forgotten protection. Conceiving a child after only one night was highly improbable. He called that fate and she could hardly argue.

Now, standing in his apartment, she notices the slight swell of her expanding abdomen. Growing inside is evidence of her extinct independence. She would never be alone, ever again. She was sharing her life with him, together raising their child. She would always be vulnerable to his ever-changing emotion. That idea that once haunted her, now barely matters. Temperance Brennan is strong enough to risk her metaphorical heart, because what she has now is worth it.

He notices her by the mirror, trying to accept her new life with him. He had always been ready to go further with her, but had never expected this. The Bones he used to know wouldn't have been able to accept change like this so suddenly, but here she was trying. He knew she loved him, but wasn't sure she knew. As he stood there, watching the mother of his unborn child hold her belly, his heart filled with love.

She didn't notice him approaching until his arms encircled her waist and he began to rub her belly. She placed her hands on top of his before turning her head to kiss him. The kiss was love, fear, joy and every other possible emotion. She knew that he would always be there for her and felt safe in his arms. Turning fully toward him, she lifted her shirt and placed his had directly on her belly. Feeling where she held his child was beautiful to him, and he just wanted to be with her.

He lifted her shirt the rest of the way, revealing her swollen breasts. He quickly removed her bra and began kissing her neck and down to her breasts. She practically ripped off his shirt and felt his muscular back as he caressed her front. He lifted her up and onto the bed before kissing town to the waist of his sweats she was wearing. In an instant, they joined the rest of their clothes on the floor. He began feeling her through her panties and they quickly became wet.

He slipped his hand inside and massaged her before she helped him remove her panties. Unable to wait any longer, she reached inside his boxers and felt his length. Already erect, her hands made him want her even more. His pants and boxers flew off as she guided him to her opening. He was rapidly inside of her and they were becoming one.

As he once told her, sex is nothing without love. Making love was two people breaking the laws of physics and becoming one. Only now did she believe that theory.
