A/N: Hi my dears! Sorry this is quite late in the day, I've been having an argument with a homophobic piece of shit all day and it slipped my mind. Thank you for all your continued support, it means a lot! Another time jump here, this time only one month, so Lisbon is 5 months.

"Why don't you ask for the whole day off instead of just the morning?" Jane lounged on the bed as he watched his beautiful wife get dressed for work. She had tried on various shirts and all of them showed her baby bump, no matter how loose-fitting.

She turned to look at him, massaging her back as she did so "What would we do?"

"Well we're at the doctor's in the morning, then we could go out for lunch, then we could go down to the cabin. You haven't seen it since I got your brothers to help"

"Okay" she answered "I'll talk to Cho" after staring at her stomach for what seemed like the 100th time she gave up and kept the shirt she was currently wearing on. "Why do all my shirts make me look fat!?" Lisbon complained.

"They don't make you look fat" he answered back.

"Oh really?"

"Really!" Jane insisted, dragging himself out of bed and enveloping her from behind. Into her neck he muttered "Teresa, our child is growing inside of you, that's a beautiful thing"

"Hey, Cho?" she asked him, poking her head around his door after knocking "You know I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow? Could I take the whole day off instead of just the morning?"

He pretended to think, not wanting to upset her by telling her straight away that they would be able to manage fine without her "Sure, we should be able to cope now we have Wren"

"Thank you. Hey, Cho?" she asked again, deciding to test her boundaries.

"Lisbon"

"You like Wren, don't you?"

His eyes flicked up to her "Yes" he said, then looked down at his work again.

She nearly fell over at his out-right admission of his affection for their relatively new co-worker "Okay … um … bye" she shut the door behind her, pulled out her cell and texted Jane: 'Cho says yes xx'

Later, she felt her phone vibrate in her jacket pocket. The phone had been resting on her stomach and the sensation prompted her baby into kicking. She giggled at the feeling, it still amazed her that a child was growing inside of her.

"What are you so happy about?" the fair-haired lady asked her.

Lisbon looked down, embarrassed "My little butterfly is kicking" she had started referring to her child as 'butterfly' soon after the baby had started kicking. It was because the feeling was like serious butterflies on a first date with someone you really liked – she still got them when she saw her husband.

"Ah" Wren nodded "How long left?"

"Still 4 months" she told her "I'm getting another sonogram tomorrow, so I won't be here"

"Have fun! Make sure you show me when you get back"

The elevator chimed and the relative quiet was shattered by loud shouts of "Mommy! Mommy!" broke this silence. A young boy of 4 came running into the room at high speed. Lisbon looked around for the child's mother and nearly fell out of her chair when she noticed that he was heading for Wren.

She cast a glance at Teresa before plastering a large smile on her face "Hey baby" she swept him up in a hug and span him round in the air "What are you doing here?"

A man came in behind the child, carrying a blue backpack. He was the exact image of the child, except his skin was a little darker "Hello Wren"

"Joe, what are you doing here? Why have you brought Jason?"

"I need to go into work, I can't look after him this afternoon"

"It's your day, you said –" she cut herself short, looking at the boy in her arms "Teresa, could you take Jason somewhere while I talk to Joe?"

Looking confused, she nodded. Cautiously she approached the three people "Hi Jason, I'm Teresa. Let's go find somewhere to play while they talk" she reached out her hand to Jason and after some encouragement from his mom he took it.

She took him far away from the couple so that if their discussion got heated he would not hear them. "What do you want to do Jason?"

He shrugged his shoulders, picking at the loose seam of his shorts.

"I could probably find some pencils and we could do some drawing, if you like?"

"Okay" he said, not sounding entirely enthusiastic.

After collecting colored crayons, they sat down at a spare desk. Lisbon put a couple of sheets of paper in front of Jason and kept one for herself so that she could draw too.

"So, what do you want to draw?"

He shrugged again, avoiding eye contact with her.

"Jason" she leant forwards a little "Is everything okay?"

"Mommy says I'm not supposed to talk to strangers"

"Jason, sweetie, you can talk to me, I'm your Mommy's friend. You are perfectly safe with me"

He looked up at her, his brown eyes large "Mommy and Daddy always fight" he said, scratching at the desk with his nail "They don't live together anymore. Daddy left."

"Sweetie –" she started but he continued.

"They don't love each other anymore, they don't love me and it's all my fault" he cried, tears falling down his cheeks.

"Jason, it's not your fault. Sometimes Mommies and Daddies simply stop loving each other, but that doesn't mean they don't love you. I'm sure they love you very much!"

"You think so, Teresa?"

"Of course"

He leapt at her and threw his little arms around her shoulders. She placed her hand on his back and rubbed in small circles. That was how Wren found them.

"Jason" she said, and the little boy pulled away from Teresa "You okay baby?"

He sniffed back his remaining tears and nodded.

"Okay baby" she was not convinced and would ask Teresa later "Daddy needs to go to work so you'll have to stay here for a bit"

"Okay Mommy. Did Daddy leave my bag?"

"Yeah it's on my desk"

He nodded and trotted off in search of his bag.

Wren slumped into the chair that her son had just vacated, her head rested in her hands "I don't know what to do Teresa!" she sighed, not raising her head "I don't understand how it all went wrong. We were happy, we had Jason and everything was good" she looked into the older woman's eyes "What do I do?"

Teresa moved closer to her friend "Start from the beginning, tell me what happened"

"I met Joe at a bar 5 years ago. We hit it off, had some fun. I ended up pregnant and he said he'd always be there for me. After Jason was born we moved in together. It was fine for a few years but then Joe started spending a lot of time away. He would disappear in the evenings after Jason went to bed, wouldn't come back until the early hours. He thought I didn't know, but I knew. He'd found someone else. I confronted him and he didn't deny it so I threw him out"

"Oh Wren I'm so sorry"

"Today Jase's school was shut so Joe said he'd look after him. Now he's decided that it's my job to take care of our son unless it's convenient for him. I ask him to look after Jason for one day and he does this!" angry tears were in her eyes now "I just don't know what to do!"

"Come here" Teresa held Wren.

"How's Jason? He doesn't talk to me anymore"

She bit her lip, not wanting to upset Wren anymore, but she knew she had to tell her what was going on with her son "He thinks you and Joe's split is all his fault. He told me that you don't love him anymore"

"Oh Jase!" she sighed, dropping her head into her hands again.

She put a hand on her back and squeezed her shoulder "I told him that it wasn't his fault and that of course you loved him. He knows you love him, he does, but he just needs reassurance"

"Thank you, Teresa"

"If you have any work to do I'll look after him. It's not like I have anything to do anyway"

A/N: That was not where I expected that to go … but oh well! So know we know more about Wren, this is good. Please review (not to try and bribe you but I'll love you forever if you do)! Also, you may, or may not, already know, but I'm going to reveal the baby's gender next chapter. I know I've told some of you, but other's might not remember.
