Wow. It has seriously been FOREVER since I've even signed in onto this site! I honestly can't remember the last time - life's a big pain sometimes. I feel so bad that I haven't even touched my other fic (my first one) in probably a year. That's sad.

But onto good news, yay! Here is my first-ever BONES FANFIC! :D The season 6 finale was just..too much for me to not write something about it!

I love this show and these characters so much, so I figured it was about time. It's just about done too, so I won't leave you hanging. I promise.

Enjoy! And please leave some reviews, if you don't mind! ;)

Temperance Brennan was getting big. Very big. And she didn't like it. She was also in turn getting a bit tired of feeling like "an overstuffed turkey shoved into the overhead bin of an overcrowded flight," as Angela would put it.

She was ready to have this baby. Now. If you were to ask her that nine months ago, she wouldn't have been able to fathom an appropriate response. But not today. Today, she was ready.

Or so she thought. Brennan soon realized that it's a lot easier to make a claim in anticipation, such as this one, than it is to actually stick to it once the moment you are supposedly so prepared for actually hits you, like a cement block to the head.

It all happened very quickly.

At 2:02 am, Brennan shot up out of bed, jolted from her slumber by a sharp, searing pain in her abdomen. And God, did it hurt. Her movements were so sudden that she jarred Booth out of unconsciousness as well, and he, already having been on "alert mode" for the past week as Brennan reached the final days of her pregnancy, immediately and abruptly shifted his body to face his partner on the opposite side of the bed.

"Bones, what's the matter? What's wrong?" Booth was completely awake now, eyes wide, brows furrowed, and mouth set in consternation.

Brennan winced in pain. "I..I think I'm having a contraction."

If Booth's eyes could widen any more, Brennan irrationally thought to herself, you'd think they'd pop out of his head. He took a moment to regain his composure by shutting them tight and rubbing them over with his hands for a quick second.

"Wha- like a contraction contraction? D'you think the baby's coming- right now? Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Brennan felt the pangs start to dissipate, and she used this as an opportunity to think about what to do. "The pain is subsiding I think, for now. Let me just sit here for a minute or two. I may not fully be in labor just yet."

So she sat and waited. They both did, in silence. And sure enough, about ten or so minutes later, another wave of pressure and shooting pain surged through the lower portion of her swollen belly. Once that subsided, she took to pacing back and forth across the floor in front of the bed and waited some more, trying to determine the consistency and urgency of it all.

Booth stayed in bed. Part of him thought she'd lost her marbles, but he didn't want to interrupt whatever she felt she needed to do, and he figured it would be better to wait it out a bit then to rush over to labor and delivery too early, only to be sent home.

But then, about 20 minutes later, mid-pace, after yet another contraction had settled down, Brennan felt it, and she knew.

"Booth."

"What is it?"

"I'm fairly certain my membranes have just ruptured."

"Alright, Bones, I'm gonna need you to drop the squint speak for a second and repeat what you just said in English, please."

"My water just broke."

Ok, I know this probably isn't the best first chapter. I know it's choppy, but the chapters are gonna be pretty short, I think, since I first intended this to be a oneshot.

Please let me know what you think?

I have the majority of the rest of the story ready to post, all I need is your feedback, so let me know if you want more! Thanks! 3
