The Price You Pay For Love
Chapter 10 - Epilogue
"I've always liked the name Madeline."
Teresa Lisbon looked at Patrick Jane incredulously; they were lying in bed together like they did every other morning. Jane was playing with her hair absentmindedly and Lisbon's hand was resting on Jane's chest.
"You're kiddin' right?" She asked, looking at him in disbelief.
Jane looked down at her, frowning, "No, it's a lovely name."
Lisbon looked at him as though he was mad, "We are not naming our baby after Hightower!"
Jane chuckled, "Alright, so Madeline is scored off the list."
"What list?"
"My mental list."
Lisbon shook her head in amusement, "Well, you are mental."
Jane grinned, placing his hand on his heart in mock hurt, "You wound me my dear, you wound me."
Lisbon rolled her eyes, "Of course I do, now have you considered the possibility that the baby might be a boy?"
Jane looked at her sheepishly, "Um…"
Lisbon laughed, "I don't know why you're so sure that it's going to be a girl."
"I just have a feeling." He said, defending himself.
Lisbon smiled, "And although you're 'feelings' are right most of the time I still think we should have a boys name as well as a girls, just in case."
"What do you have in mind?" Jane asked, smiling softly at the woman lying next to him.
Lisbon gave him a small sheepish smile, "Sam."
Jane made a face, "We are not naming our baby after Bosco!" He scoffed and Lisbon rolled her eyes, "I thought you might say something like that."
"I have a better name anyway." He piped up, grinning now, Lisbon looked both amused and exasperated, "Oh do enlighten me."
Jane's grin widened, "Patrick of course!"
Lisbon shook her head, "No way! Just no way."
Jane's face fell, "Why?" He pouted, causing Lisbon to smile slightly at him; he looked cute when he pouted like that.
"Because it's ridiculous, Patrick and Patrick, that would just make everyone confused!" Lisbon retorted.
Jane made a face at her, "Fine."
Lisbon rolled her eyes at him, "You really are being a little childish with this whole name thing."
"Am not." Jane said, still pouting, Lisbon laughed, "Come on you must have more ideas than Patrick."
Jane shrugged, "I always liked Nathaniel." He admitted, he looked a little embarrassed and Lisbon didn't quite understand why, it was a lovely name.
She smiled, "I like it." She said, "Nathaniel Wayne Lisbon-Jane."
Jane smiled back, a broader smile this time, "It sounds good."
"It does." Lisbon agreed, "If we have a girl I'm tempted to call her Mary." Lisbon admitted.
Jane rolled his eyes, "Mary Jane? Are you a Spiderman fan Teresa?"
Lisbons cheeks turned pink, "Sort of." She mumbled, "Besides she would be called Mary Grace Lisbon-Jane, not Mary Jane."
Jane smiled deviously, "Ah, for the moment she would be."
Lisbons eyes widened, "You're thinking about getting married again?" She asked in shock.
Leaning over and grabbing something from his coat pocket Jane replied, "Oh no, I've already thought about it."
Lisbon gazed at the small black box in Jane's hand in complete shock, "And what did you decide?" She asked in a very small voice.
Jane smiled at the woman who was now sitting up in bed, he opened the box and she gasped quietly when she saw a gorgeous gold diamond ring sparkling there.
"I decided that I wouldn't want to marry again if I was with anyone else, but I do want it with you, I want to be your husband." He told her, in a shy sort of voice which was very unlike him.
Lisbon was staring at the ring completely awestruck, she couldn't believe that Jane was willing to do this, willing to marry again, willing to be a father again, willing to live his life again and she felt so privileged that he was choosing to do this, wanting to do this with her.
"So Teresa Lisbon," He began, looking up at her, his blue eyes meeting her green orbs, "Will you do me the honour of not only being the mother of my baby, but also becoming my wife?"
Lisbon immediately forgot about the shock of it all and she grinned, "Yes!" She squealed, "Oh my gosh, yes!" He slid the ring on her finger and she pulled him to her for a hug because she was so pregnant that she didn't have it in her to jump up and hug him.
"You're beautiful." He whispered to her as he held her close.
She scoffed, "I'm 8 months pregnant, I look like a freaking balloon."
Jane smiled fondly at her, "You're still beautiful to me, you're always beautiful to me."
Lisbon blushed, "Stop it." She mumbled and he laughed against her hair, tickling her ear and making her giggle.
Jane started to tickle Lisbon, he knew she hated it, but he had always loved to wind her up. She rolled over, giggling, "Stop it, Patrick, stop-" She stopped speaking and gasped, immediately Jane stopped, worrying that he had hurt her.
"Whats wrong?" He asked, worry seeping into his voice.
Lisbon moved so that she was lying on her back, she grabbed Janes hand and placed it on her swollen belly, "The baby kicked when I said your name." She told him, sounding amazed.
Jane watched her in astonishment, she grinned, "Listen." She said. She placed her hand over his, "Patrick."
Jane's eyes widened as he felt the baby kick, "Wow." He breathed, in shock, "Teresa." He said quietly and to Lisbon's astonishment the baby kicked again.
"Wow." Lisbon echoed Jane's previous thoughts and they stared at each other in shock for a moment, the reality settling in for them that this was real, they were really having a baby together and she really had a diamond ring on her finger, she was really getting married to Patrick Jane.
As Lisbon looked down at her swollen stomach and Jane's hand resting there, next to her hand, the hand where the ring glittered, she found herself smiling broadly. She didn't know where she had gone right in life to get this life, but she was delighted that it was hers.
