Thanks to rigspeltforeverxx, rigspeltfan, and veras333 for the great reviews.
I don't own anything.

"Grace?" Wayne said walking into the room and coming to sit by her bed.
She smiled weakly at him.
"I love you, so, so much. I didn't realize how much until I almost lost you." He said stroking her face.
She smiled at him and pointed to the notebook and pen lying on the table on the tray attached to the bed.
She quickly scribbled on it. I love you. And don't think I'm crazy, but I saw Reagan.
He took it back and read what she wrote. "What do you mean you saw her?" He asked handing it back.
I mean I saw her. It was really weird. She said I was in limbo. Do you believe me?
"Of course I believe you, Grace. If you saw Reagan, then that's what happened." He said kissing he on the forehead.
She smiled at him and grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face.
Then the team walked in.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Lisbon asked.
Grace smiled weakly at her.
"She means she doesn't feel great, but she'll live." Jane said coming over.
"Grace, I am so sorry. I never meant to get you or anyone involved in my obsession with Red John." Jane said putting his hand on her shoulder.
It's okay. It's not your fault. She wrote and then showed it to him.
"Okay." He said smiling.
"Agent Van Pelt, I'll need a statement later and I also need to address the matter of you and Agent Rigsby. Now the two of you may remain together, but as I said before one of you will have to leave the unit."
"No, they won't." Jane interrupted pulling out a CBI rulebook.
"Excuse me?" Hightower asked.
"Well, the rule states agents of the same unit. It doesn't say anything about agents and consultants. So, basically what I'm saying is one of them get's transferred to another unit, but then come and work with us as a permanent consultant. It is a bit out of the box, but especially taking into account the ordeal Agent Van Pelt has been through I think you should make it work."
Hightower looked around contemplating this. "Okay, but you two better not make me regret this." She said taking her phone out and walking out of the room.
"We better go too. Forensics will be done by now." Lisbon said standing up. "Rigsby you can stay."
"Thanks boss." He said smiling at them.
"Get better, Grace." Jane said smiling and squeezing her foot at the end of the bed.
They watched everyone leave. After they left, Wayne leaned in and kissed Grace. "Never do that to me again."
She just smiled.
"Hey, I'm gonna get some food, you want anything?"
Ice cream. She wrote.
"Okay, I'll be right back." He said smiling and kissing her forehead before leaving the room.
When he came back, Grace was asleep, but he noticed that she had written something in the notebook.
Wayne,
I love you so, so much. I never doubted it for a second and now after I almost died I know I will never love anyone else as much. You have made me become a person I thought I could never become. Some distant, but unattainable extension of myself. Ever since I was little I believed that everyone had one person out there you're meant to fall in love with. The person who is the love of your life. You're mine. I love you, Wayne.
Grace
"I love you too, Grace." He said smiling and kissing her before sitting down and eating.
