You could make a half  H-bridge:

           --------| i-------------| i---------
           |                |                 |
           |                |                 |
          /               Motor              /
           |                |                 |
           ------------------------------------

Remember that you have to program a dead time between the switches so as
not to short the batteries.
You could also make a full H-Bridge, using each switch to drive 2 fets:

Battery Pos ---------------------------------------
                |                                 |
               /  A                              /   B
                |                                 |
                ------------- Motor----------------
                |                                 |
               /  B                              /   A
                |                                 |
Battery Neg ---------------------------------------

Again, you need to have dead time between the switches to prevent a short.
