Chapter 10
Lisbon, Jane, Emma, and Grace entered the bull pen. Cho and Rigsby were sitting at their desks making paper air planes. They shoved them under their desks when Lisbon walked in.
"How are you Grace?" Rigsby asked
"I've been better, but hey I'm alive" Grace said with a grin
Rigsby smiled. "Shouldn't you be in the hospital?" Cho asked.
"Long story" Jane said as he winked at Grace
"Where's is he?" Lisbon asked referring to Emma's dad.
"He confessed" Rigsby said.
"What did it take?" Lisbon asked
"Cho talked it out of him, Cho told him we wouldn't let him out of the room unless he confessed"
"As long as it's legal" Lisbon said shrugging.
"So what happened?" Lisbon asked
"I'm sorry but your dad did it" Rigsby said looking at Emma.
She just nodded she had known it the moment her dad shot Grace, she had tried denying it to herself but she couldn't and know she was just trying to accept it.
"Go on" Lisbon prompted
"He thought Jamie was a bad influence on Emma. He told the coach to tell Jamie that practice started early that day so he could practice with her before her official team practice started. The coach thought nothing of it sense it happened often. He framed the coach, by wearing his clothes and having the coach tell Jamie to come to practice early." Rigsby said
"Why was he at the coach's house?" Lisbon asked Rigsby
"He was trying to plant the murder weapon"
"Which was?"
"The same gun he used to shot Grace"
"Ok, well case closed guys! Good work, who's getting the pizza this time?"
"I vote Rigsby!" Jane said
"What? Why me?!"
"Because you usually eat almost all of it, and you can't deny it" Jane said, with a childish smile
"He's got a point" Cho said
Everyone laughed
"Fine, I'll go now" Rigsby said.
Rigsby returned 20 minutes later with the pizzas.
"PIZZA!" Rigsby yelled as he walked towards the table everyone was sitting at.
After they all had drinks they raised their glasses "For another case closed!" Rigsby said.
"And for Grace's new sisters!" Jane chimed in. "And for Grace being okay" Lisbon added
"And for the best CBI team ever!" Grace said.
Everyone cheered!
After everyone finished their pizza, the team started cleaning up.
Rigsby and Cho were in the kitchen throwing away their garbage.
Grace watched as Jane tried to read Emma's mind. She spun around as she heard a laugh behind her.
"Look at Emma's face" Lisbon said as she laughed. Grace looked at Emma's wonderstruck face.
"Looks like Jane read her mind" Grace said, the two agents laughed.
"I'm really glad you're okay. I'd hate to lose one of the best agents I've ever seen" Lisbon said as she smiled at Grace.
"Thanks boss! Do you really mean it?" Grace asked as she beamed with pride. She wouldn't admit it but she looked up to Lisbon, she admired how successful her boss was.
"Of course I mean it Grace. The team just wouldn't be the same without you"
Grace blushed "Thank you, it means a lot Boss"
Lisbon smiled "It's getting late Grace, you need to get some rest. Have Emma drive you home and Grace don't hurt yourself!"
"I'll do my best, but I make no promises" Grace said with grin as she walked towards the door.
"Good night Grace" Lisbon said
"Good night boss" Grace said.
She got Emma and they drove home.
They were sitting on the coach together in Grace's apartment watching some corny movie. Grace was thinking about everything that had occurred in the past week, when she realized something important: The events in her life that had seemed liked the worst thing that could possible happened had created one of the happiest moments of her life- Finding Emma. Her sister's death followed by her mother leaving had seemed unbearable; it felt as if her world was crashing down on her but if that hadn't happened Emma wouldn't be here.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Emma's soft voice "Thank you Grace, for everything! You have no idea how much I appreciate it"
Grace turned to face Emma "Emma I just want you to know that you have changed my life. You made events in my life that seemed like the worst thing possible turn into one of the best things. You've given me a second chance to be a sister, and I can't thank you enough for that. You've become my sister, my best friend, you understand me and you've helped me move past some pretty rough things. So thank you Emma, I really appreciate it"
Emma smiled "Well then! Looks like we're meant to be"
Grace smiled; it was good to have a sister again, she realized how lucky she was she had a sister again and a great job with an amazing team! She wouldn't change what had happened in her past if she could because it lead her to where she was now and she couldn't be happier.
Once again thanks a million to everyone who has read and reviewed! Could you pretty please review once more? I was wondering if you would want a sequel?
