"There's a postcard here!" Rigsby said going through the post. Van Pelt who had been busy watching her boss with a slight frown looked up sharply. Lisbon who had been filing out her paperwork followed suit.

"Well what's it say?" Cho asked.

"Dear unit. Well I never expected to be writing this from anywhere but a jail cell. I don't think any of you did. But it's over now, and I won't be gone Forever. Jane." He read out. "There's no place on this one. Just a yellow happy face." He said turning it over. He then walked over and placed it up on the wall with the others. "Right who wants food?" he said grabbing his coat.

"Oh I'll go with you!" Van Pelt said jumping up. Lisbon smiled as she watched the young, and recently reunited couple walk away. She then looked over at the wall and noticed something odd.

"I'm making coffee boss you want one?" Cho asked standing up.

"I'm ok..." she said. Walking towards the wall. She took the last one down off the wall. Once again it was all in Jane's neat writing. But there was one word darker than the rest. Forever stood out. It was as if he had written over it multiple times. She looked back up at the wall

Dear Rigsby, Cho, Van Pelt and Teresa. Just arrived in New York and found what I'm looking for. This will be my last note for a while. I couldn't tell you how long. Mind your selves and each other. Rigsby, Van Pelt about time you made up. Cho keep on laughing. Until I see you again. Jane.

That one had a blacker word as well. That was so unlike Jane to have his writing uneven. But two whole words were just odd. She looked back up at the wall and glancing over the nine other previous ones, and saw darker passages on all of them. Taking them down she took them into her desk. Laying them out on her desk in order of the dates. This was probably a long shot but not something she'd put past the brain of Jane. She started re-reading.

Rigsby, Cho, Van Pelt and Teresa. I'm hoping by now you've realised I'm gone. If not I'll be truly hurt. I'm sure you all know where I'm gone but I promise i'lL keep you updated. Jane.

She wrote L down on the sheet of paper in front of her and moved on to the next one.

Van Pelt, Cho, Rigsby and Teresa. No luck here but I'll keep looking. Hope you'll all coping without me. Jane.

Four cards later she had spelt out her own name. So she was sure it couldn't be a complete coincidence. The other five cards lay there. She knew it was her message. That this was his way of communicating with her.

She felt tears coming as she found the last word. She looked down at the page she had scrawled the letters and words on. L-I-S-B-O-N –I-WILL-LOVE-YOU-FOREVER

Jane left the graveyard and sat into his car. He stretched out his still bandaged fists and gripped the steering wheel. Of course the beating on Red John had, had an effect on his hands. But it was worth it. He'd made peace with everyone now. The man who'd destroyed his life, and the family who'd left him too soon. This was his only time visiting them on his own. He'd been there for over three hours. Getting everything straight in his head. But now he felt lighter. He would stay away a week or two and then begin again.

Lisbon sat on her couch with her legs tucked up under her. Van Pelt walked in.

"Coffee boss?" she asked

"Already have some thanks, I'm just organising the Red John files."

"Maybe you should leave it for the morning and try to get some rest."

"Grace thank you for your concern but I'm only going to tell you once more, I'm pregnant not sick."

She smiled at the younger woman.

"I know but it's a big deal! And you haven't talked about it yet!" she sat beside her boss.

"I told you I would we just need to get all this over and finalised. Then we can relax."

"Ok. So once Jane gets back and Red Johns finally behind us." Grace smiled. At Jane's name her heart jumped. She couldn't help but smile. She decided it was time to change the subject.

"So you and Wayne…" the red head grinned.

"You wont tell her will you? We're going to work harder to keep it out of here."

"As long as you do that no one has to know." Just then Rigsby walked in.

"Just got a call from New York boss. Red Johns being sentenced next week. They think they have enough to get him."

Jane threw his bag into the boot and walked back in to lock up the house. Almost two weeks on and his Miami home was gutted and repainted. He wasn't ready to sell yet but he felt this was a huge step. The taunting smiling red face was no more. It had been painted over. Everything was clean and fresh again. Despite himself he smiled.

Grace Van Pelt left her desk for the kitchen. Once again she'd been left behind while the others went to close a case. She huffed to no one in particular. Filling her coffee mug she strolled back to her desk lazily. There was no work to be done. No paperwork for her to do at the moment. This gave her time to ponder over her second favourite topic of the moment. Her boss's situation. She just couldn't put a finger on who the father could be. She'd said a full out no to Mashburn although they'd all known something happened there. Which is why she was so sure if anyone else had been in her life they'd all know! Lisbon wasn't the subtlest of people and she could hide nothing around Ja…

'JANE' she thought sitting up sharply. 'It had to be Jane's! that's why she was so secreative about it! they had been flirting for years but now finally something had happened and she was pregnant! Grace nearly squealed but reminded herself that she was at work. She started imagining a little Jane with Lisbon's green eyes. Boy or girl? She wondered. Then stopped. She was getting a bit a head of herself, she wasn't even positive this was the case. But how great would that be.

Lisbon woke up on the morning of Red Johns trial feeling more sick then she had in weeks. Normally the baby gave her a few minutes of peace when she first woke up before making her nauseous, but not today.

After washing and dressing she walked down the stairs to try have some breakfast. She needed energy today to testify. Actually testify against this bastard they'd been chasing for years, the man who'd murdered Sam and the other agents, who'd killed so many people and left them in front of them. Who'd destroyed Jane's family…

Jane's family… and there it was again that awful thought that had been bugging her. would he even want another child. Never mind another family, she hadn't even thought about that because she knew she could never replace his wife. Maybe fill the void a little, he had said he loved her. but never replace, or even match Angela. She shook her head she shouldn't be thinking about this today. Not when she had one of the worst killers they'd ever faced to lock up. She grabbed a banana and travel mug of coffee and saying a silent prayer that the baby would let her enjoy them she locked up her house.

Jane drove to the office with a smile on his face. Surely by now no one cared that he'd beaten Red John and he could just sit inside on her couch and wait for everyone… well her. he didn't dare go to the courthouse today as he didn't know if this calm serenity would stay with him. It he would be able to stop himself jumping up and beating that arrogant sonofabitch all over again. He let himself into the office and then picked her lock and settled himself in on the couch. He smiled as he smelled in her scent. This couch had a whole new meaning for him now. He couldn't wait for her to come back and find him here. He drifted off to sleep with the smile still on her face.

there was chaos complete chaos. She didn't know which way to turn there was shouts all around her as everyone ran in a mad panic. She couldn't believe what had happened. And she hated the thought in her head about who could have done it. she yell ed out at her team to get the place in order.

He woke up to the sound of the door slamming back.

"Boss we'll find him don't worry !" Rigsby said following a brunette tornado in the door.

"We better!" she snapped, then she saw him. "JANE!" she ran over and hugged him fiercely.

"you need to leave!" she said letting him go.

"Hi to you too!" he grinned.

"No Jane you need to leave now! They're looking for you! Red Johns dead and they think you did it."

"Did what? He's in jail how can he be dead." Jane was so stunned he barely noticed the slight glow of Lisbon's face.

"Someone shot him on the way into the court! Straight in the face." Rigsby said.

"He's Dead?"

"Dead!" Lisbon said sitting down next to him.

"Jane did you do it." she said slowly. Rigsby left the room.

"I've been asleep here all morning! I swear." He said. "Wish I had…but no."

"So you weren't even near the court house?"

"I was here all day."

"Oh thank god! I was praying it wasn't you! I was so afraid you'd changed your mind about leaving him live." She hugged him again. Rigsby smiled and left to tell the others.

"I came back today I've been in Miami."

"I Guessed." She nodded then smiled. "You didn't kill him…" she repeated.

"I did not."

"Why?" she asked softly. He just leaned down and kissed her. he smiled against her lips, he'd missed her so much. But it had taken the time apart to realise just how much he needed her.

"Teresa I…" he started but Cho burst in.

"Jane get out of here! They're coming up for!" he yelled.

"But I didn't do it!"

"You have motive and no alibi besides breaking in here. You have to go! We'll find the real shooter." He said to the blonde man.

"But…" he looked at Lisbon.

"Go Patrick" she nodded standing up.

He ran out the door and down the fire escape. She ran after him.

"Jane I'm…" but he was gone. "Shit."
