Suggested by Lady-josie; kind of AU…Booth and Brennan have sex before they head their separate ways. A month into the dig Brennan finds out she's pregnant. How is she going to tell Booth? What is she going to do? Please read and find out:)

Thanks to my beta kaloblack for helping me out:) Let me know if there's interest in more, I know there must be lots of fics with the whole going away theme, but give the story a chance before you turn it down:)

Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.

Brennan left her suit case by the front door; that way in the morning she'd be ready. She took a look at her apartment, taking in every single detail and knowing she was going to miss DC. She sat on the couch and hung her head between her shoulders. Who was she kidding? She was going to miss him, Booth, most. Not seeing or talking to him for a year…would be difficult. Although she knew Booth was very good at what he did and that he had a son to come back for, there was the chance that he wouldn't come back.

Booth was scheduled to be at the base first thing in the morning. He had Parker the previous day and he promised himself he'd do whatever he could to come back not just for Parker, but because he wanted to see, talk to his Bones too. A year would be a long time for him. He knew he was going to help save lots of lives, but he also had that feeling of… what if I don't come back? After a few minutes of mindlessly pacing his bedroom, he mustered up his confidence and decided that it was now or never.

Brennan sat in her couch remembering all the late night take out and working on cases. She smiled to herself as she heard his knocking. She decided she must be very tired and that she should go to bed, the knocking continued and she knew that she wasn't imagining it.

Brennan crossed her living room to open her door, knowing it was him, her heart rate increasing as she walked closer to the door.

Their eyes locked as soon as she opened the door. Neither could move at first and simply stared at the other. Booth stepped inside after a few seconds and Brennan closed the door. As soon as she turned to face him, his lips were on hers. He desperately tried to show his love. Brennan responded to the kiss, she too tried to demonstrate her feelings; she's learned to love and accept it. Both know this may be the last time they get to cross that line and truly show the other how they feel.

"I love you, Bones." He hugged her close as his lips kiss her cheeks before they returned to her mouth. "I don't want you to feel that I'm rushing you…" He didn't want her to think he was forcing his feelings on her again, she had said 'no' to them before. He didn't finish his statement, her lips didn't allow it. It wasn't long until they were in a heated make out session.

She pushed him to lie on his back on the couch and she lied on top of him. As their tongues danced in their mouths her hands stroked him through his pants. He moaned, giving her more incentive to not stop. She worked on his belt and his pants; Booth didn't stop her. She lowered his pants and boxers enough to free his hard cock from its confines. He groaned in pleasure when she stroked him barrier free.

They continued to kiss, devouring each other. His hands went under her shirt and caressed the soft skin of her back.

Clothes were flung in every direction as they made their way to her bedroom. Time seemed to move fast and so did they, but it didn't feel hurried. They felt the emotional connection in every kiss and touch. They both knew it wasn't going to be an outlet for biological urges; they were doing this because they loved each other. Even if Brennan didn't voice out her feelings, every kiss and touch spoke volumes. They stood by the foot of her bed and stared into the other's eyes. All they had been looking for and running away from was there, in the eyes of the other. Kissing, they fell on the bed.

He entered her in a quick thrust and stayed there. They both moaned at the feel of being united as one. Brennan adjusted quickly to the delicious feel of him filling and stretching her. He pulled back slowly until only the head of his cock was inside her and thrust inside in another quick thrust. He repeated his movements and they continued to soar higher.

His movements became quicker and faster when her legs wrapped around his waist. The name of the other left their lips as their bodies shattered together.

They lied tangled and spent. Brennan stared into his brown eyes and caressed his cheek as he stared into hers. How where they going to go through a year apart now that they had experienced them?

Booth needed to report to the base at five, he turned to her nightstand and saw it was three in the morning. He had to get going and as much as he hated to wake her up, he didn't want her to think he had left her.

"Bones?" He kissed her cheek, whispering in her ear. "Temperance, wake up." His soft kiss on her lips woke her up and she wrapped her arms around him, trying to keep him close. He told her he had to go and she nodded.

Brennan walked him to the front door and kissed him before he went out. "I love you." She finally voiced it, those three little words that had been so hard for her to say. They kissed one more time, silently promising each other that this was the beginning not the end.

Brennan was at the airport, her friends saying goodbye and wishing Daisy and her a good time at their dig. Brennan kept searching for him to show up; she wanted to see him one more time before she boarded the plane.

Her eyes found his and she made her way through the crowds to walk towards him. He had to sneak out of the base to be there, but he was there. They made the promise to meet in a year, by the coffee cart. They gripped the other's hand with force, not wanting to let go, but knowing they had to.

Brennan boarded the plane; a loud Daisy sat next to her. As Daisy rambled about how exciting it was going to be and what a huge discovery it was, Brennan's mind was on Booth.

As soon as Brennan arrived at Maluku, she had to get to work. The first day she gave her group of Anthropologists a talk and divided them in groups. Every single person there was talented and had vast knowledge in the field: Michael Stires being one of them.

Stires was behind Brennan all the time trying pair up with her so he could be named second in charge. Brennan wasn't interested in having him near her all the time, but the man kissed up to her every chance he got. Stires was more annoying than an enthusiastic Daisy.

On the second day there, Stires insistence had reached new levels. Brennan was trying to eat her food, it was dinner time and the work day at the dig had been long. Stires sat in front of Brennan and once again started his kissing up. Daisy sat next to Brennan and Brennan couldn't have been more happy to see Daisy.

"I'm sorry Dr. Stires, but Dr. Brennan's my shoulder buddy." Daisy linked her arm with Brennan and Brennan nodded. She would rather be Ms. Wicks' 'shoulder buddy' than have Stires kissing up to her all the time. Stires got up and left when he saw Brennan didn't object. "I'm not looking to be 'second in charge' like him." Daisy explained. "You're my mentor and I'm your student." Daisy smiled and so did Brennan. Whatever got Stires off her back, metaphorically speaking, was fine with her.

The third day, Dr. Goodman had arrived at the sight. Brennan had asked the Archeologist to join them. His knowledge would come very handy throughout the dig.

bbbbbbbbbbbbbb

It's been a month since the dig started. Brennan was trying to concentrate on the dig, but she couldn't. She jumped when Daisy placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Is something wrong, Dr. Brennan?" A concerned Daisy asked. Brennan asked Daisy what she needed and Daisy led her to her spot on the dig.

At night Brennan crossed out another day in the calendar; eleven months to go. She sat on her cot and stared at the calendar. She was happy at the dig; it was an incredible discovery but there was something else on her mind.

At first it hadn't been in the front of her mind, but as soon as she realized she was late it did. They hadn't used protection and she had been celibate for so long…Could I be pregnant? She stared at the calendar as if it would give her the answer. Thirty days, it's been thirty days…no protection…it can very well be possible…Brennan sighed and ran a hand through her hair. This is how Angela must have felt when she had the pregnancy scare. But Angela had Hodgins by her side and not away at war. Brennan rose from her cot and decided she needed to confirm her suspicions of a pregnancy before she decided what to do or how to tell Booth.
