After 2 years from that horrible night he still could not believe what is today. His wedding day, the new start to a new chance of life with the woman he loves. The one and only Teresa Lisbon. He has regular nightmares about that night. Red John answered Lisbon's cell phone, the long drive to the abandoned house, the corpse of Patridge and a Lisbon covered in blood in shock. Red John tried to kill her but she won the fight and killed him with his own knife. At the beginning he was mad at her going there alone and putting herself in danger. But he was neutral about her killing his nemesis. She did it to save her life but it was his responsibility to his family and Lisbon took it from him.
After that night he left again without a word to nobody and travel. He bought a airstream and visited all the states. He stayed for a big time at Grand Canyon. It is a beautiful and peaceful place. He had a lots of calls from the CBI and his old friends but no from Lisbon. His heart hurt at it. Had she forget him already? He remembered all the good and bad times between them. Their trust fall, the day he killed Hardy, the day they were locked in the container in the middle of the desert, their dance, Bosco's death, Lisbon in that bridesmaid dress, Walter Mashburn ,Erica Flynn, Lorelei, the meeting at the church after Las Vegas, the unforgiving "love you" and all the times she stood in his side and helped him.
That was the time he understood he had two options in his life. One, he stayed away alone forever or second he had to make peace with his ghosts and move on. He was already at the first option and he felt more miserable than ever. If he would choose the second, he has to go back and beg Lisbon to forgive him and then try to move on with her. After days of thinking he made his decision which lead him to this current day of his wedding.
The hard part was not the forgiving but making her to give him a chance to be more than her friend and coworker. She didn't trust him in this department and the first time he told her that he loves her she was frighten and distant. He couldn't blame her after the memory of the first time. He knew it would take time to make her believe him.
At first he asked her on a date. She refused so fast that he made him upset and frightened. He continued by be wooing her. He brought her the best coffee and bear claws every morning, made less troubles, buying her strawberries or apples, accompanied her in crime scenes or car, offering flowers in every situation or be open to her and shared things of his life.
Almost every night they were together. Sometimes they went out for dinner or watched a movie. He found himself enjoy too much spending time with her. One morning she was late and he started to worried. Cho told him she was sick and she would not come to work today. He went to her house and found her in bed sleeping. She was under the blankets sleeping deeply and he found the image adorable. He stayed in her side until she fully recovered. She was a fussy and a moody patient.
After it, she seemed calmer and more open to him. A night she drunk a little more than usual and she kissed him. It was their first kiss and he found himself melted in it. He broke first and putted her in bed. She registered in first and tried to opened his vest. He told her that he wanted more than anything else in the world but she was drunk and he didn't want to take advantage of her statue. He knew that she would probably regret it in the morning. The next morning she asked him if she looked fine or drunk. When he answered negative, She kissed him passionate. He return the kiss hungrily and pushed her on his body. They ended up in bed and stayed there all weekend.
She wanted to keep their relationship hide for a while. She was afraid about her job. He was fine with it. He found it amusing trying to kiss her on her office or making her blushing. They couldn't take their hands from each other. He loved their little escapes in his attic. 2 months later they announced their relationship. Betram was furious with it but Jane manipulated him to accept it.
His proposal came on their one year anniversary. He prepared a dinner beside the ocean. He lighted up hundreds of candles and a radio played soft music. It was a beautiful night. Lisbon's eyes shined in the light of candles. When they finished their dinner, they sit on the edge of the ocean. Without Lisbon noticed he send a message and after a few moments the sky filled with fireworks. He watched Lisbon's face and took off the ring. Lisbon looked at him stunned and before she could say anything Jane proposed to her.
"Teresa, There were moments that I thought I wouldn't be in love again or happy again. You proved me wrong. You are the love of my life. My only light. My first and last thought. I can imagine my life without you. You have no idea what you mean to me. How much I love you. You are my best friend, my lover, my rock and I would be extreme honored if you agree to be my wife too. Teresa Lisbon, will you marry me?"
"Okay. Yes. Yes." she said and laughed.
"Yes? Excellent. I'm glad that's dealt with. I was a little nervous."
"Oh, come on. You knew I was gonna say yes."
"No, even after all these years, you're still a mystery to me. "
They agreed to a small wedding with their close friends and her family. They decided to get married on a hill facing the sea. He was so happy . He was scared that in the last moment she would decide to leave him. He was anxious.
He took a big breath and took his place. Cho would married them and Rigsby was his best man. Van Pelt was the maid of honor and Lisbon's big brother will escort her. He found himself hard to relax .
The moment he saw her in her wedding dress his eyes filled with tears. She looked so beautiful and he couldn't believe his luck. There is no way he deserved her but He would do everything to be a good husband to her.
He gave her his bigger smile and took her hand. He couldn't stop smiling and looking at her. They stood and faced each other and Cho asked if they are ready to begin.
He was lost that moment. Couldn't listen or see anything else except Lisbon. Suddenly a big loud disturbed him. He looked at Lisbon who was in shock. Her dress was red from her blood and her eyes blank. People started to screamed and searched for the shouter. Jane took Lisbon in his arms and cried.
"Don't close your eyes Teresa. Focus in my voice. Stay with me. Stay with me my love please."
But Lisbon closed her eyes and a tear escaped from them.
