A/N: here's the next chapter :)

Lisbon's dream….

IT was dark, and not the normal dark either, it was the sort of darkness that suffocates someone, and Lisbon had no idea why. In fact Lisbon had no idea where she was, but before she could ponder this, the scenery changed, now she was in her office. Again Lisbon had no idea what was going on, she didn't seem to be in any danger, at least she didn't remember being in any danger….

"Lisbon, you look confused, something wrong?"

Startled, Lisbon spun around to see one annoying consult standing in front of her, without any wounds. "Jane what are you doing here, I thought you were in the hospital?"

Now Jane was the one who looked confused, "Lisbon are you sure your okay, why would you think I'd be at the hospital, maybe you should be there." Inquired Jane, with teasing tone.

Now Lisbon was really befuddled, hadn't Red John kidnapped Jane? Hadnt Jane gotten hurt? Millions of thought just like these went through Lisbon's head.

"Jane what's going on where are we?"

Jane's brow furrowed as he saw how serious Lisbon was, "We're in your office Lisbon, where do you think we are?" Jane paused, his exspression turning into one of concern, "Lisbon are you sure you don't want to go….." But before Jane could finish his sentence he choked as blood started drippin out of his mouth.

Lisbon was shocked, jane had looked fine two seconds ago, but she could only watch in horror, as cuts and stab wounds started forming out of no where on Janes body.

Jane too looked shocked at what was happening, his eyes shone with fear and disbelief, begging Lisbon to help. Thats all it took for Lisbon to jump into action and try to help Jane.

"Hold on Jane, I'm coming," but as soon as she tried to move her legs and assist her consultant, her limbs would not obey her. She tried to tell Jane this but her voice seemed to fail her too.

Jane on the other hand didn't seem to understand this, he actually thought she was refusing to help him

"Lisbon*Cough* help!" he, unlike her, was able to cry out to her in between mouthfuls of blood, before falling to the ground. Lisbon again tried to reach him, but couldn't, but she would never forget the look of betrayal that shown in Jane's eyes before the light had slowly seeped out of them. The last thing she had heard before she woke up was red Johns horrific laugh echoing in her ears.

By the time Lisbon had finished telling Jane about her dream, she was in tears, even Jane's eyes were a little too glossy. Usually Jane would never hug Lisbon without permission, he would probably end up with at least one broken appendage, but right now Lisbon seemed to be giving him unspoken permission to do just that. So with great love he gently tugged Lisbon's arm until she understood what he was asking and climbed onto his hospital bed.

Once Lisbon was carefully situated in Jane's arms he started to whisper soothing nothings into her ear until her tears finally stopped. It was until her own water work display had ended did she notice that Jane to had been silently crying. Turning in his arms Lisbon saw that tears still silently streamed down Jane's face.

"Now Jane… I know why I'm crying… but why are you?" Observed Lisbon in between sniffles, trying to lighten the mood. Jane took pity on her attempt, and let out a small chuckle, but his face quickly turned serious.

"I'm so sorry Lisbon," apologized Jane, tears again welling up in his eyes, "I'm so sorry I caused you all this pain….

"What? How is this your fault?" Lisbon questioned.

"I shouldn't have let Red John kidnap me, I should have fought harder, or ran faster, then you wouldn't have those nightmare…and you might not have almost been killed." Explained Jane tearfully, with guilt ever present in his voice.

Lisbon almost started crying again at the guilt o his face, he actually thought it was his fault. Lisbon, because of her job, had always been able to read people, Jane being the exception as he was a little harder to read, but right now Jane was letting his mask down, he was an open book. Right know Lisbon could see all the emotions playing out on his face, the guilt, the shame, and the love. She knew that what Jane needed right now was comfort, so Lisbon laid a tender hand on the side of his face and gave him exactly that.

"No Jane this is not your fault," when jane looked as if he wanted to argue, she gave him a pointed look, "It. Is. Not. Your fault, Red John was a sick and twisted person, you shouldn't feel guilty, you're a hero, you saved my life, you were tortured and yet you wouldn't give Red John the info he wanted…I wanted to thank you for that, for not giving in, and for saving my life."

"Thank you Lisbon, I needed that," marveled Jane," besides we might just finally be even for all the times you've saved my butt," added Jane trying to lighten the mood. It worked; as soon as he said it Lisbon's face broke out into a genuine smile.

"Hahaha, nope you still owe me," joked Lisbon, but then turned serious, "you said you remembered most of what happened, what do you remember?"

"Well I remember, you know red john kidnapping me, the…torture, and I remember, being stabbed when you found me, you applying pressure to my wound, Cho arresting Red John, being loaded into the ambulance, I remember seeing y-you," he then paused as he got closer to the hostage situation," you getting grabbed by Red John so I sat up, but then I froze I didn't know what to do, he was going to kill you, I couldn't lose you, and then I heard the click of the gun as he got ready to shoot and I reacted I couldn't let him take away another thing I loved, not again, I grabbed Rigsby's gun and I shot him, I shot red John, and you'd think I would be all freaked out that I shot some one, but I didn't, I just kept thinking that you were safe, and that he hadn't gotten to you, and the you were standing next to me, and then I noticed I was still holding the gun so I set it down, after that I had the sudden urge to hug you to just make sure you were actually there, that you were okay, so I did I hugged you, and then everything foes fuzzy, I got really dizzy and then I passed out, and I don't remember the rest." Jane, by the end of his tale, looked almost relieved that he had finally told someone about what he felt when he shot Red John.

Now Lisbon was tearing up again, she had no idea what Jane had been thinking when he'd shot Red John, but now she knew, and she could have kissed him for all he had done for her, so that's what she did.

After he had finished recounting his side of the story, she had grabbed his face and crashed his lips onto hers. At first Jane had been taken completely off guard by her kiss, but after the initial shock had passed Jane was soon responding with gusto. There lips melded together perfectly, and soon Jane was asking entrance into Lisbon's mouth, where they're tongues tangled in the familiar dance of lovers.

Jane had only kissed one person like he was kissing Lisbon now, his wife. Even then it was different, it had been just as loving, but different somehow.

Lisbon would stand up in court to testify that Patrick Jane was the best kisser she had ever encountered. Most of the men she had dated tended to kiss her roughly, or they were never in sync with her. Jane on the other hand was gentle yet his passion never wavered, and he was in complete sync with her movements, and the amount of love present in his kiss was over whelming.

Their kiss had to finally come to an end when the need for air became too great to ignore. Both Lisbon and Jane were both breathing heavily as they rested their foreheads together, enjoying the intimacy in their actions. Jane was the first to break the silence.

"Lisbon, I know we need to talk about what just happened, but we both are exhausted, lets just go to sleep and tomorrow we'll talk, alright?"

Lisbon did her best to hide her disappointment in having to go home; now that Jane was okay she didn't see a reason to stay.

"That's a great I idea we're both tired, so ill see you tomorrow Jane," Lisbon replied, while simultaneously getting out of the hospital bed. Before she could even put one foot on the cold tile floor, a strong arm wrapped around her waist pulling Lisbon back into Jane chest. Startled by Jane's actions, Lisbon was only able to give a small yelp before Jane's chest was pressed up against her back once again.

"Stay Lisbon, besides you obviously didn't want to go, and I didn't want you to go," replied Jane, the last part spoken in an almost whisper, but enough for Lisbon to hear. Touched by Jane's words, she didn't even mention the way he read her mind, she merely nodded her head and snuggled deeper into his warmth, quickly falling sleep. Jane couldn't help but watch as his fiery boss/love of his life slept peacefully, before he too succumbed to the inevitable and fell asleep, starting one of the best nights of sleep Jane has ever had.
