Chapter Four: The Meeting
"Psst. Patrick" someone was whispering into Jane's ear. "Patrick". Jane woke up and opened his right eye. "Yeah?" he asked sleepy. "Patrick. It's 7am. The alarm clock went on but I turned it off not to wake Jess. She looks so cute when she sleeps" Ally said. Jane smiled. "Yes, she does". "Hey, Patrick. Why don't you wake her with a kiss? I'm sure she'll like it. Daddy always wakes mommy with a kiss." Ally suggested and smiled proudly. She was so full of happiness and harmony and Patrick couldn't say no to her. The way Ally was looking at him, with her deep blue doggy eyes. Patrick got up and Ally turned left to watch Jess and Patrick. Jane leaned forwards and kissed Lisbon softly. At first she didn't move. "Again" Ally said. So Patrick kissed her again. Sleepy Lisbon was making some noises. "Jess, wake up!" Ally said. Lisbon wasn't a morning person and it took her a few seconds to get the situation right. She turned right and saw Ally smiling at her. "Oh, good morning sweetie" she said while giving a sleepy smiled. "Morning Jess" Ally said and reached for a hug. Lisbon hugged Ally back. She felt so weird. She looked to her left where Jane was standing who just kissed her. "Morning, sweetie" she said and gave him a kiss back. "Aw, you are so sweet. You are really great friends." Ally said, meaning that Jess and Patrick were her friends. That made the three of them giggle. After all got up from bed, they were sitting around the table with loads food on it. There were cereal, different kinds of juice, sandwiches, some fruits and vegetables, coffee, tea and all kinds of things. The people from the hotel brought it in five minutes ago and Ally was starving. "Can you get me some orange juice, please?' "Ally asked looking at Lisbon. "Sure, honey. There you go" she filled Ally's glass with orange juice and handed it over. "Thank you" Ally replied. Sitting around the table. If people didn't know, they would say it was the happiest family they have ever seen. The atmosphere at the table was harmonized. The only weird thing was that it felt so usual like they would do it every day. It felt right and this feeling that amazed especially Lisbon gave her some material to think about. She wondered if she ever is going to have some children herself. A girl. She would love to have a daughter. Since she was a little girl, she loved the name Maura, so she decided at this exact moment to name her baby girl Maura, in case she would ever have one. She also thought about different things but she was called back to reality when she heard Ally asking for today's plans. "We're going to drop you off at the kindergarten and if mommy and daddy aren't done with the conference, we're going to pick you up. How does this sound? Huh?" Jane asked and tried to tickle her so Ally moved back while smiling. She was somebody who was very ticklish. The sound like "hihihi" was heard and Lisbon giggled because she found that laughter adorable. After dropping Ally off at the kindergarten, Lisbon received a text. It says to be in park by 1pm. She told Jane about it. When they walked out of the house, Jane noticed that somebody was watching and following them. It was once again one of those moments where they had to be fully their new identities. So Jane grabbed Lisbon's hand and leaned over to kiss her. Their kiss lasted a while and then they continued walking. Lisbon was happy, she smiled. Patrick was smiling too and was playing with Teresa's hand. They were walking on an avenue with trees by their left and right side. The park was incredibly beautiful and not too full which made both of them wonder. Hand in hand, the finally saw Rigsby and Van Pelt walking by and stopped. They had to be quick, to give out and receive new information. The people who followed Jane and Lisbon seemed to notice just a couple asking another couple asking for the time but more, they could not notice. "We got some leads and Cho is on it. I'm sure we know where the Stevens are but we need five more hours" Rigsby said. "Right now, we are followed by some people so let's say, we meet at the James' Pizzeria in a half hour" Lisbon suggested. Van Pelt nodded and both couples left. In a half an hour they finally met at the pizzeria and ordered some salami and Hawaiian pizza. Grace and Lisbon ordered a coke while Rigsby and Jane ordered some tea. They talked about the new leads and soon Cho would call to confirm the news that everybody was awaiting. After the phone call with Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt left the place and drove to the given address. Cho found the dead bodies and the Stevens who were luckily alive. If Cho has been any minute late, they would have been dead by now. Immediately Zoe started asking about Ally and Cho replied that Jess and Patrick had taken her with them and that she is back in kindergarten. He explained that both would pick her up if it's the time and that they should not worry too much about it. He said he knew this because Jess Andrews called in the office today to confirm that the kid is safe and is taken care of. Zoe was relieved. It was the only thing bothering her; that Ally would be alone but another time Jess has proven to her what a good friend she was. Lisbon received another text saying that everything was alright and that Zoe and Drake were on their way home. "What are relief" she thought. Jane and Lisbon have already picked up Ally from kindergarten and brought her back to their hotel. Jane was playing some games with her while Lisbon was getting ready to meet Zoe. When she heard a knock at her door, she knew it was going to Zoe. "Oh my god, thank you so much, Jess. You are an amazing friend. I can't even thank you enough for what you did." Zoe said as she entered the room, saw happy Ally playing with Jane, and hugged Teresa. "No problem. I think she enjoyed it" Lisbon smiled and pointed at Ally playing with Jane. "Mommy!" Ally shouted when she saw Zoe entering the room. "Mommy, Patrick told me how to play this game" she sounded very excited and happy. "Aw, I'm sure he did. Have you had a great time with Jess and Patrick?" Zoe asked in her kind voice. Ally nodded and smiled. "Ally, baby, daddy is waiting downstairs. Please go say good bye to Patrick and Jess because we gotta go" Zoe said. Ally nodded once again and both left the hotel room.
