*I own nothing but the mistakes*

I'm sorry it starts of quite tragic but it has to happen for the story to develop.

This story is a sequel to "Laura". If you have not read that you may not get this...

Prologue

"Where are they? They called and said 20 minutes an hour and a half ago" Lisbon shrieked at Jane, as they got into the car to leave a crime scene.

"Probably lost" suggested Jane

"Lost? From the hospital to here?"

"Look, it was Van Pelt's first scan today. Give them some room to process. Now they can tell her parents."

"They are not to be a couple while at work – Those are the rules. I know the scan was a big deal that is why I let them both go."

"Well when we find them you can yell all you want. But for now can you please stop? You're giving me a headache?"

Lisbon's anger at her two junior agents faded enough for her to be able to put the key in and start the car. She started to drive back to CBI headquarters, Sacramento keeping her eyes open for their black SUV. She was sure they would be pulled up somewhere, excited, looking at ultrasound scans of their child.

"Lisbon. You need to pull over. I think I just saw them" Jane almost shouted. He sounded worried.

Lisbon did as she was told and pulled over. Jane got out and Lisbon followed. She stood sickened. She was half right. They were, to a certain degree, pulled over. The scene however was not an excitable one. It was horrific. There was a silver jeep that had smashed into the driver's side of the CBI issue SUV. The CBI vehicle had then smashed, passenger side, into a tree.

As Lisbon approached the cars she noticed the jeep was empty, with smears of the driver's blood left on the steering wheel. The two CBI agents were still in their vehicle. She noticed that neither of them were moving.

"Oh my god!! Rigsby? Van Pelt? Jane check Van Pelt, make sure she's ok"

As she leant through the smashed window and placed her fingers on Rigsby's neck to check his pulse and breathing she noticed Jane do the same to Van Pelt. She then looked around the car to see if she would need the fire department. She looked into the foot well and ran away from the car, revolted by what she had seen. Rigsby had severely broken his leg and the bones had pierced the skin. Jane took command and called for fire and rescue and an ambulance while rechecking Rigsby's pulse. It was barely there.

At the hospital Lisbon and Jane waited for news on their severely injured co workers. The doctor working on Van Pelt was the first to see them. He made a beeline for Jane.

"Are you the father of Miss Van Pelt's child?"

He glanced at Lisbon before replying "Yes". He knew it was a lie, but he also knew that the doctor would not tell them anything unless he did lie.

"I am really sorry. The foetus died in the collision. We have had to remove it." Lisbon sank into the nearest chair and all the colour drained slowly from Jane's face.

"Is she ok though? When will she wake? WILL she wake? "

"Miss Van Pelt will be fine. Four broken ribs, a broken arm, dislocated collarbone. All in all she was lucky. It could have been worse."

"Worse than losing a child?" Jane asked with his characteristic sarcasm

"Well no, but physically it could be worse"

"When will she wake?" Lisbon's voice sounded so small and scared they almost missed it.

"Soon. She is heavily sedated for the pain. But in a few hours we will start to bring her round" The doctor smiled a warm smile at Lisbon.

Lisbon could not smile back. She was still worried. She still had an agent down. And how were they going to get through losing a child? Just then Rigsby's doctor arrived.

"Are you the colleagues of Mr. Rigsby?"

"Yes. Is he ok?"

"He is on his way up to surgery now."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He has a compound fracture to both his tibia and fibula in his right leg. He has also dislocated his right ankle and has torn his anterior talofibular ligament as well as his calcaneofibular ligament. He also has several broken ribs, fracture to his wrist and a dislocated shoulder. He should be alright; we can fix his leg in surgery. His ankle will take a lot of physical therapy to put right but it will happen."
