Author's Note: Hope you enjoy this chapter it was really fun to write. I'm basically basing Hayden off of my cousin Janelle she is one just like Hayden (yeah what a quinky dink, Hayden's a fictional character. Of course I would make them the same age.) I just can't get Hayden out of the story no matter how hard I try, I really hope you don't mind. Wow this is a really long author's note I wonder if anyone even reads these if you do leave me a review saying, 'I like Hayden!' lol that was lame but whatever.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Mentalist but if any of my wonderful readers would like to give it to me for my birthday it's June 18!


"Zella!" Annabeth said while pulling her friend closer to her and leading them out of the bullpen where Teresa and Patrick were putting in a group effort in trying to change Hayden's diaper.

"How may I be of an assistance?" Zella smiled as Annabeth and herself entered the women's bathroom.

"Alright so I'm pretty sure step two is working put beautifully time for part three!" Annabeth smiled as she adjusted her hair in the mirror.

"Agreed, should I go and get Jada?" Zella asked pulling out her phone getting ready to call her sister.

"That is kind of a big part of the plan so yes!" Annabeth said leaning against the sink.
"Do you think your Aunt and Patrick are going to be okay with this?" Zella asked as she dialed her sister's number.

"They'll be fine." Annabeth said she her phone vibrated. She took her phone out of her pocket to reveal a text from Christina.

"Christina want's to know how much longer we need Hayden." Annabeth spoke once Zella hung up the phone with her sister, who was on her way to the CBI building.

"Damn it!" Zella swore under her breath.

"What do you want to tell her?" Annabeth asked still staring at the text. It was not that they were trying to take Hayden away from Christina but Hayden was the only way the plan to get the two together would work.

"Just tell her we still need her for a while longer, or something along those lines." Zella said taking Annabeth's phone and typing the message.

"Do you think she'll be upset?" Annabeth asked once Zella gave her phone back.

"Maybe, but she could also be happy. She won't have to deal with a baby while morning the loss of her boyfriend." Zella said exiting the bathroom.

"Uh huh." Annabeth sighed as both girls walked to the elevator to meet Jada in the parking lot to give her instructions on what she needed to do.

"They are up to something." Teresa said as she watched her niece and Zella get into the elevator.

"That took you long enough." Patrick smiled at his boss while he watched Hayden play the her cross necklace.

"What do you think it is?" Teresa asked while she smiled down at the little girl in her arms.

"They are probably trying to solve the case by themselves." Patrick offered as he laid back on his leather couch.

"They better not be doing that!" Teresa got up from the spot on the floor where she had been sitting while changing Hayden's diaper. "Here." Teresa said while putting Hayden on Patrick's stomach and walking toward her office.

"Well isn't Agent Lisbon getting a little bit cranky." Patrick said to the little girl who looked up at him and smiled.

"Why don't you and I go and make her something to eat?" Patrick said sitting up and walking over to the break room with Hayden on his hip.

-Shattered-

"Hayden thought that you could use something to eat." Patrick said while setting down a sandwich and Hayden down on Teresa's desk.

"Well isn't she thoughtful." Teresa smiled as she tickled the little girl the picked her up and set her down on her lap.

"She really is." Patrick smiled as he watched Teresa devour her sandwich. They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in." Teresa said while pushing her plate away from the view of her visitor.

"Are you Teresa Lisbon?" The girl asked walking into the office.

"I am, and who are you?" Teresa asked while bouncing Hayden up and down since she was becoming fussy again.

"I'm Jada Wingsworth, my sister Zella supposed to be here." Jada smiled at the sight of Hayden.

"She should be with my niece Annabeth, is there any reason that you need her?" Teresa asked as her detective questioning kicked in.

"Umm yeah, our foster parents told me they needed some time alone so they told me to go and hang out with my sister." Jada said the smiled disappearing from her face.

"Okay, why don't you take a seat and I will go and find her." Teresa said getting up from behind her desk.

"Jane watch her." Teresa said as he walked toward Patrick to hand over Hayden to him.
"Yes ma'am." He smiled as he took Hayden away from Teresa's arms.

After Teresa left, Patrick took a seat on Teresa's couch setting Hayden on the floor to let her crawl around.

"You and your wife have a really cute baby!" Jada smiled as she tried to remember exactly what Annabeth and Zella had told her.

"She's not..." Patrick began but was cut off by Hayden's cry.

"Do you need any help?" Jada asked while she watched as Patrick picked up Hayden and started to rock her.

"Actually could you go and get her diaper bag, it's over by the leather couch in the bullpen." Patrick asked as her.

"No problem." Jada smiled as she exited the office and headed into the bullpen.

Once Jada left, Patrick's mind began to wonder, did they really look like a family, how would have Lisbon reacted to that statement, maybe they could have a family, Annabeth, Lisbon and himself and maybe a few kids defiantly some boys would be needed in this family was to much femininity.

"Jane!" Teresa said, knocking him from his thoughts.

"What is it Lisbon?" Patrick asked still rocking Hayden in his arms.

"I can't find Annabeth or Zella." Teresa said taking out her cell phone.
"Did you call either one of them yet?" Patrick offered as he saw Jada approaching the office.

"I'm just about to." Teresa said gesturing to her phone.

"Here." Jada spoke as she handed the diaper bag to Patrick.

"Thanks, why don't you come with me while we let Agent Lisbon work." Patrick said guiding Jada toward the bullpen.

"Sure." Jada sighed as she left the office with Patrick and an overly fussy Hayden.

-Shattered-

"Are you sure we won't freak out your Aunt to much?" Zella asked as her and Annabeth walked out the ice cream shop.

"Nah, as long as Jada is keeping them occupied we should be home free." Annabeth answered licking her strawberry ice cream.

"Okay, whatever you say." Zella chuckled as she took a seat on a local bench.

"So what are we going to need?" Zella continued as she took out a pen and a scrap piece of paper from her purse to write down their list.

"Well, we are going to need,.." Annabeth was interrupted by her cell phone going off.

"Hello Aunt Teresa." Annabeth answered after looking at the caller ID.

"Where are you?" Teresa nearly yelled into the phone.

"Don't worry about it Zella and I will be back at CBI in a few hours." Annabeth said then taking another lick of ice cream waiting for her Aunt's reply.

"Annabeth come to CBI now! I don't want to have to ground you!" Teresa said hoping that by treating Annabeth with a punishment she would come back.

"No it's okay, like I said before we will be back at CBI in a few hours, Zella and I have some things to do." Annabeth said once again.

"Get your butt back her Annabeth!" Teresa said again clearly getting annoyed by her defiant teenage niece.

"No, like I said we have stuff to do, I'll see you in a while." Annabeth said looking at Zella who was watching the people pass by us.

"Well, hurry up then Zella's sister Jada is here and wants to talk with her." Teresa said now that she was tired of trying to convince her niece to come back to the CBI.

"Uh huh, okay well see you in a while bye bye Aunt Reese!" Annabeth smiled waiting for her Aunt's reply.

"Yeah bye Annie be safe, love you." Teresa said sighing as she lost her battle with the girl.

"Okay will do, love you too." Annabeth said hanging up the phone.

"Where in the clear." Annabeth smiled while taking another lick of her ice cream.

"Awesome, so back to the list what do we need?" Zella said redirecting her attention from the people to the pen and paper in her lap.


Well hoped you enjoyed! I wonder what Zella and Annabeth need to get for Lisbon and Jane? I hope this finale won't kill us all, I'm getting a little nervous! Okay well until next Sunday have a wonderful week, please review maybe tell me what you would like to see in future chapters. Thanks for reading!
