Author's Note: My muse has not been cooperating at all. So I tried just really hard to write something for at least one of my fan fictions. I hope you guys at least like it. If the lyrics are wrong I apologize I copied them from a web-site. Also, I apologize in advance if there is anything wrong grammatically or typos, I do my own proof reading. Please leave feedback. Happy Reading! I was going to write my opinion on it, but I don't want to taint anyone's opinion with my own. Thanks for reading in advance. And being patient with me.! ENJOY!
Miss Independent
By Kelly Clarkson
Miss Independent
Miss Self-sufficient
Miss Keep your distance
Miss Unafraid
Miss Outta my way
Miss Don't let a man interfere, no
Miss On her own
Miss Almost grown
Miss Never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little Miss Apprehensive
I said ooh, she fell in love
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise! It's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true
Miss Guarded heart
Miss Play it smart
Miss If you wanna use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this Miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise! It's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true
When Miss Independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to Miss No longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of, "Why can't that be me?"
I'm so glad I finally see
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise! It's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true
Miss Independent
Brennan was sitting on the couch at Booth's apartment. Since they had agreed to split time between her place and his, more often then not they spent their time at his, on her computer waiting for Booth to come home. Lately, she had been getting home before him due to the fact of being pregnant and spending less time in the field with him. She was deep in thought, the work on the computer forgotten. She wasn't the same woman she was year ago, not even a day ago. That woman who was Miss Independent to almost a fault was now going to be a mother and in a relationship with a man that yes now she can admit that she loves with all her heart and soul.
As her daughter kicked, it was just a slight reminder of how much had changed. The child was conceived out of love and hope even though it was during a night of sadness and despair. The circle of life, one life leaves this world and another one enters. Mr. Nigel-Murray's ended but in this circle of life three began. Brennan lost the last of her imperviousness and Booth's anger toward love ended that night. She needed him. He needed her. The night that two beings became one, another one was created.
There was no turning back now. No more walls. Brennan couldn't build them up again not with him anyhow. She wasn't the same woman he fell in love with the moment his eyes met hers almost 8 years ago, which was a good thing. He was the only true and long lasting relationship she had ever had. The more she either try to deny it or compartmentalize those feelings, there he was he was still there by her side. Even when she pushed him away, he was still there.
Brennan rubbed her belly, as their daughter was repositioning herself in the womb. It made Brennan think about the events that were happening last year at this time. The team was called back to help Cam. Booth had met Hannah while he was away. Brennan wasn't mad at Booth for that, because she did tell him no. And when Hannah followed him back, Brennan still wasn't mad at him. Booth was a man of honor and integrity. She knew Booth wouldn't just dump Hannah. He would try to make it work because that is what he believed in at the time. Booth was still there for Brennan, they just weren't as close, which made Brennan revert back to being Miss. Independent, compartmentalizing her feelings for Booth at least trying, but it wasn't as easy as it once was.
Then the shit hit the fan, as Booth would say. He dumped Hannah because of the marriage rejection (or just may be that was just the straw that broke the camel's back – another saying Booth would use). Now it was Brennan's turn to be there standing by Booth's side. She stayed all night drinking with him, which later on she found out he really appreciated. Then they shot guns for St. Valentine's Massacre Day, and got stuck in his elevator during the blizzard. It took longer than three days but the universe was right once again.
She was still deep in her thoughts when the front door opened. As Booth finished his routine of locking his gun away, he noticed his love sitting on the couch waiting for him. He could tell by the look of her face, she was thinking intensely about something. As he approached her, "How are my two favorite girls doing", is all he said and he kissed the top of Brennan's head and rubbed her belly.
That's all it took to get Brennan out of her brain. She looked into his big chocolate eyes and thought everyone is right we are an "old married couple". That's what we have always been. This is so much better than being Miss. Independent, as the warmth of his body comforted hers as he sat down beside her and they talked about their day.
Happy Reading! I would appreciate feedback. Thanks
