Chapter 2

"Pregnant?!" exclaimed Lisbon.

Jane just stood there trying to think of what to say.

"Can I see her Dr Green?"

"Yes you can as a matter of fact she has been asking for you Mr Jane. She is in Room 316."

Jane rushed straight to Lorelei's room before Lisbon could say anything. She then continued to talk to the doctor while trying to wrap her head around what was happening.

"Dr Green, how far along is she?"

"She is 12 weeks."

"Are you absolutely sure that she is pregnant? It could be a false positive."

"I ran the test 3 times Agent Lisbon. Lorelei Martins is indeed pregnant."

Lisbon then excused herself to the woman's restroom and stood in front of the sink and splashed cold water on her face. As she dried herself off, she suddenly felt dizzy and sat down on the bathroom floor. Her head was spinning. I can't believe this is happening right now! Jane and Lorelei having a child?! I bet she got pregnant on purpose. This is all her fault! If she thinks that she is helping him move on with his life by carrying his child she is sadly mistaken!This is Red John's plan I'm sure of it! I have to warn Jane now! She got up from the bathroom floor and went straight to Room 316.

Jane was standing in front of Lorelei's room before entering. She was lying in her bed sleeping. He just stared at her before Lorelei opened her eyes.

"Hello Patrick."

"Hello Lorelei. The doctor claims that you're pregnant."

"I am pregnant Patrick. With your child."

"You and I both know that is Red John's child that you are carrying and not mine."

Jane then started pacing back and forth in the room. He wasn't sure how to take the news. Should I be happy? Angry? Sad? I wasn't sure if wanted to have anymore children after my little Charlotte died. But now I guess all of that really doesn't matter now does it?

"Patrick I am telling you the truth! Why won't you believe me?!"

"Because you are involved with the serial killer that murdered my family! I know you and him have an intimate relationship!"

"I haven't slept with Red John since our night together. I told you that it was a gift from him. He wanted this to happen."

"He told you to seduce me and not use protection so you would get pregnant on purpose? Why?! What plan does he have for me now?! I want answers Lorelei and I want them now!"

Jane was furious now. He was so sick and tired of playing Red John's game. He just wanted it to be over and done with already, but he wanted him dead first. He wanted to exact his revenge on the monster who murdered his precious wife and daughter who were the only two people that he lived and breathed for. He even sometimes wished that Red John would have killed him instead on that fateful night. Jane then pulled up a chair and sat close to Lorelei's bed and all he could do was listen as she told him of Red John's plan for him and his unborn child.

"Patrick, he is sorry for what he did to your wife and child. He regrets what he did and he is truly sorry. He wants you to be happy and move on with your life. This child is part of that. That's why he sent me to you that night in Vegas."

"Out of all the women in the world, why would he send you? If I wanted to have a child with someone, I would want to be in a relationship with them and be committed to them. I want to fall in love with someone and have them fall in love with me despite all of my baggage. I want someone who sees me for me. Then we will marry and then have children together. That's how it should be. That's how it's supposed to be Lorelei. Not having your serial killer boyfriend send you to someone who is a victim of his tragedies and sleep with him only one time and get pregnant with his child, who he seems to treat as an apology gift instead of a human being. I'm sorry Lorelei this is wrong on so many levels."

Jane got up from the chair and started to leave the room when Lorelei spoke again.

"He would see the way you looked at me when you sat at the bar and I would take your drink orders. It touched him. It made him realize how lost and lonely you had become since he did what he did all those years ago. He saw the connection we had and I agreed with him. He told me to give you what you longed for so long: a family. He usually doesn't get all emotional with his victims, but with you he did. I trust Red John and I trust you Patrick because I know you will give a child all the love in the world. Despite how he or she was conceived I know that you will love this child no matter what."

"So what happens now? Does he want me to marry you too?"

"If that's what he wants for you Patrick."

"You're just going to do whatever he tells you to do? He's got you brainwashed Lorelei. You deserve better then this."

"He makes me happy Patrick. Like I said, I trust him and I trust his judgement."

Jane then sat back in the chair and this time he got even closer to Lorelei and took her hand and held it lightly.

"Whatever you need, I will get it for you. If you have weird cravings in the middle of the night, if you need a back rub, if you need help picking out names, I'm here Lorelei. I promise. I want to be involved in this child's life. I will do what he wants and do whatever you want if you promise me one thing."

"You want me to tell you who he is right?"

"That would be helpful yes."

"All in good time Patrick, we'll see what happens."

"Ok fair enough."

Then Lisbon walked into the room and saw Jane holding Lorelei's hand and tried to hide the anger on her face.

"Jane come on, we gotta head back to headquarters to finish up that case."

"Hello Teresa." said Lorelei with the most fake smile Lisbon had ever seen in her life.

"I will deal with you later Lorelei. Right now isn't a good time."

"We will meet again soon Teresa. I'm sure of it."

"Yes we will Lorelei. Yes we will."

Lisbon waited for Jane to say goodbye to Lorelei and she left the room but not before she gave her a long hard stare sending a message to her saying that she was messing with the wrong woman and she knew it. Lorelei retaliated by rubbing her belly. Lisbon then had had enough and closed the door and Jane followed behind her.

"What was that all about Lisbon?"

"Nothing important Jane. Just making sure that Lorelei got the message."

"And what message would that be exactly?"

"That I hate her guts!"

As the elevator doors shut, both Jane and Lisbon looked at each other and knew they were both thinking the same thing: this was going to be a long 9 months.
