A/N: Hi guys I am back from Italy. It was great (apart from the fact that I have really injured my hip). I really liked writing this one for some reason, sorry it is a little short but I have had little time. It will be longer next time I swear.
After the Rigsby's left it was just Cho and the newly-weds left alone together. Jane and Cho sized each other up silently, trying not to let Teresa know that something was up between the two of them. Alas their efforts were in vain – Teresa was not stupid, she had been working with the two of them for a long time now – she saw through them immediately.
"Okay what's going on?"
They both feigned innocence "What do you mean?"
"You two are staring at each other, what's up?"
The two men shared a look between them coming to a mutual decision about whether to tell her or not. On the one hand telling her might upset and scare her, whereas on the other she knew something was happening and there was no way she would let it drop, she was like that.
Under his wife's scrutinising gaze Patrick conceited "He knows" he spoke with a tip of his head towards the stoic man beside him.
"Knows what" she had a sinking feeling she knew exactly 'what' but was hoping against hope that she was wrong.
Cho's face never changed as he answered "That you're pregnant"
For a moment she sat there in shock trying frantically to piece together a comprehendable sentence "I … I …" she stammered desperately before, unable to stop herself, blurting out "Please don't put me on desk duty"
"Teresa!" Jane said. Obviously he wanted her to be safe, for their baby to be protected and safe – as safe as he could possibly make them under the circumstances.
She grabbed his hand with hers and gripped it tightly"Patrick, you know I can't stand desk duty. In a few months I swear, but not yet. Please!"
She looked from man to man, pleading them to see it her way with her big green eyes.
Cho wavered "Okay okay. You can stay in the field until your vest no longer fits. 2 or 3 months"
"Thank you Kimball!" she scared him by throwing her arms around him "Jane?" she turned to her husband.
He groaned, he had never been able to deny her much for very long "Fine! But you must take every single precaution" he took hold of her arms "Every precaution. You hear?"
She nodded breathlessly "Of course" ten she captured his mouth in a tender kiss "I love you"
"And there will be none of that at work"
That night they lay in bed together, their hands clasped between them, shoulders touching, feet seeking comfort in each other. It had been a long day and Patrick was still not happy about the fact that his wife would still be going out in the field. However, he did know how much her job meant to her – they had nearly lost each other because of it, and he knew that she would go out of her mind if she didn't have it. A sudden thought struck him "Teresa …?"
"Yeah" she drawled sleepily.
"When do you think you got pregnant?"
She rolled over so that she was facing him, barely 3 inches away "I guess it was after we saved Abbott. We weren't exactly all that careful that night"
Where she blushed at the memory of their escapade he smiled dreamily, but then sobered "Berfore Vega's funeral … before I left"
She untangled their hands and laid hers on his cheek, trying to reassure him, showing that she felt okay with it all "We didn't know. You … you didn't know"
"What would you have done if you hadn't found me?"
"Patrick …" she almost sobbed, tears forming in the corners of her eyes, her chest heaving.
"Please, Lisbon" he copied her action and rolled over to face her.
"I – I don't know. Carried the baby full-term, quit my job, sink into depression … I don't know because it never happened. I found you, you are back and that is all that matters now – not what happened, but what will happen. You, me and" she pulled his hand down onto her stomach, holding it in place "Our baby"
"But what if I let the two of you down? What if I fail? What if I hurt you again?"
"You won't. I know you better than anyone. You, Patrick Jane, are not going to let us down"
A/N: I know nothing about FBI protocols so yeah I am sorry if I got anything wrong. Please leave a review.
