***CBI OFFICE***
"boss, we have a case, it looks like red john" Cho announced
"Details?" she ask Rigsby
" Hanna Austin, a 37 years old woman, vet, single with a 3 year old kid, unknown father" Rigsby answered.
"Any news from the family?"
"They are on a trip to New York she stayed here because of work, she was for the day on L.A when red john got to her, the kid is staying on a friend house" Van Pelt check out in the computer
"Ok, I will go and find Jane to go an pick up the baby, Van Pelt check her phone records, see if red john contact her first, Rigsby and Cho, go and check the crime scene, maybe there's something forensics missed"
Lisbon walks up to the attic, she knows there's something she must do first.
"Jane?"
Jane opens the door and let her in.
"We have a case, looks like red john"
"Name?" Jane asks
"Hanna Austin, we need o go an pick up her baby but I need to speak to you first"
"Your chit-chat can wait, red john is red john and we need to rescue the baby, I have the feeling he wanted the baby and that why she murder her, something must have failed on his plan, but why the baby, what does is have to do with me "
"Jane I" but before she could finish the sentence Jane was already out of the room.
***CAR***
An awkward an uncomfortable silence was all over the car.
Lisbon was looking the window with tears in her eyes.
"Lisbon omg are you alright?"
"Just leave it Jane, is stupid".
"Don't cry my Lisbon, everything is going to be fine, lets talk about this later ok?" he says at the same time he raises her head up and kiss her.
COINCIDENCE ?
He gets out of the car and walks to Lisbon door, he opens it and picks her hand, when she's out he hugs her tightly.
"Lisbon, I don't know what is going on, I will wait for you to tell me, but I need you to know im here for you, ok? Know I want you to hold up your tears and solve this case with me"
Lisbon nods and they both walk to the house. She knocks the door. A teenage girl receives them.
"Hi, I'm Teresa Lisbon, I'm with the CBI (showing her badge) this is my consultant Patrick Jane, we are here for the murder of Hanna Austin, we've been told you have here little boy?
"Boy? No, I thing you're wrong we only have Charlotte here, she is her daughter...was" the teenage answer with a sad face.
"Hi, I expect you are coming to pick up little Charlotte" a sweet old voice says a the same time a middle aged blond, high, thin women come down stairs with a little blond girl on her arms.
Lisbon sighs when she hears the name of the little girl, she try to support Jane by approaching her hand to his, until they are touching. Jane notices this and a little smile can be seen on his face.
"Yes ma'am, your name is?" Lisbon asks at the same time she picks up Charlotte, a maternal instinct seizes her.
"Angela, Angela Sawyer, I was godmother of Hanna" a little tear looms on the border of her eye.
"Excuse" Jane says and goes to the car giving a last touch to Lisbon hand.
"Thank you ma'aam, will keep in touch," she says at the same time she goes out of the house to the car with charlotte wrapped on her arms.
Lisbon enters the car, and looks at Jane with an empathic look.
"Jane, this has to be a coincidence"
"There are no such things as coincidences, but why? Why show me my family again?"
Jane pulls over the car and drive back to the office, service to minors is waiting at the office to take Charlotte to her aunt. Jane says goodbye to the little girl, and goes to Lisbon office where she was normally doing her paperwork.
He enters without minding, and walks from one side to another trying to find an answer somewhere on his head.
"Jane, it has to be a coincidence" Lisbon tries to calm him down
"No, No there's something I've been missing, but what?" Jane says with his obsessive voice.
At this same time Lisbon hold the vomit on her mouth, run to the dust bean and throw up, Jane run to her and hold her from the back.
"Lisbon, you gotta check this flu"
When Lisbon hears this, her mind clears up and she collapses in tears. She sits on her couch with her face hiding on her hands.
Jane sits beside her and hugs her.
"Lisbon, its time you tell me what is going on… please," he begs
She raises her head up a look directly to the big blue crystal eyes.
"Jane, I, I'm, I'm late..."
A mix of shock, anger, happiness and sadness hits Jane face.
"You mean, you think, that, that you're pregnant OH, no Teresa, I'm so sorry, I put you in so much danger, Red John knows you're the closest thing I have to a family and that im in love with you, he knows that if you have a baby I will love it like if it was my own child" he says with tears on his eyes.
"You, you love me?" She surprisingly says
"Lisbon I promised you once, I will always be there to save you, whether you like it or not, now I will fulfil my promise, I will protect you and your baby" he hold her hands
"Jane, (a smile appears on her face) I think your forgetting something...its your baby Jane, our baby my last time was with you" she shyly says
Jane eyes get full of tears of happiness but then the worry come to his head, he cant loose is family again.
"We are going to make it through this Teresa, I Promise I will keep both of you safe" he kisses Lisbon stomach and then kisses Lisbon. She return the kiss don't minding if someone is watching, she don't know how much time she has with Jane, she only know she will never forgive herself if he lose his family again, whatever happen she will protect the little creature inside of her.
Jane wakes up, he can feel Lisbon warm body tight to his, she is in just a bra and underwear, he can't remember to much about last night, he just remember bringing her home and that he promised her he will never leave her alone until Red John is dead, this thought bring to his mind what Lisbon said last night "I'm late"...he had completely forgot about the baby stuff, he needs to be here for Lisbon, she needs him their baby needs him, but in order to fulfil his promise he needs to kill Red John and keep is family save... Tears fall down his eyes, he is not completely sure if he can catch Red John before Lisbon baby is born, but he needs to try, he have just 7 months more, and he needs to afford a save place for their child to live, for her family to leave.
A small tear falls down to Lisbon´s face... this wake her up, she turns around so she can look clearly at Jane, she sees the pain in his eyes, he don't know this, but she can feel when he is hurt although he is far away from her, he always try to look strong and hide his pain away from her, she normally gives him that honour, but now things are completely different, she can feel he need support.
She places her tiny soft, cold hand in his cheek, it has always been graceful to her that her hands are always cold while Jane´s are always warm, she used to think this was because they were made to balance each other. Jane hold her hand and start to stroke it softly, he can feel ice and fire fighting each other until they get to the perfect temperature.
"Good morning" Jane says with a sweet voice
"Hi" Lisbon replies empathically
"Teresa (he looks directly to her eyes), I, I will make anything I can to save our child, to save you"
"Jane, (she says stroking his cheek)... Patrick (she thinks twice) you don't need to continue telling me this ok? I already know it, I've always know your holding my back since that time we were trapped in the desert"
" Don't turn upside down you head trying to call me Patrick, if there's something I love is how you pronounce my surname, even though when you are mad at me"
"I´m never mad at you... i just need to pretend to be if I want you to stop of messing around... your such an ASSH.." but before she finish the sentence Jane still her a kiss, Lisbon returns is back, they both bodys tight to each other, no cold, no hot, no fire, no ice, just perfect, kiss are becoming fiercely and with pation, Jane´s moves Lisbon with his arms so she is over him, everything was perfect until Lisbon receive a message from an unknown numer.
"Is it necessary you answer it right now?" Jane asks hugging her without stop kissing her in the neck.
"Maybe its job" she says
Lisbon stretch her hand and pick her cell phone, she freezes when she reads the message... when Jane sees her reaction takes the cell phone out of her hands and read the message.
"Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice... from what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire, but if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice"
