Well guys it seems like even if I try I can't write a chapter in less than a week, sorry for the wait…Thank you for reviewing and story alerts! Means a lot! :)

This is the last chapter of this story, so please enjoy! I really hope you will like it…

Disclaimer: No, I still don't have the luck to tell you that I own any of this…

When the tall man entered the bullpen every eye turned in his direction. He looked around and the confused look on his face told the people that he had never been there before.

VanPelt decided to save him and she stood up with a helpful smile.

„Hey, can I help you?" she asked. The man turned to her and stepped closer.

„Yes, I'm looking for Teresa Lisbon. I'm Brian, I think she is waiting for me…"

Just then a blonde storm in the form of Patrick Jane came into sight. He grinned and without any explanation he stepped to Brian.

„Hi, I'm Patrick! It's nice to meet you…So, you are the one who caught out little boss, huh? You managed to break the ice…" he teased him but inside he was burning all over with jealousy. He was the one who broke the ice, he was the one who wanted Lisbon more than anything. Who was this Brian guy to come and go out with her? Actually he really thought their kiss meant more to her. Not just the part of the usual banter.

„Jane…" Grace VanPelt could feel the tension in the air. She knew this won't end well. „Maybe we could go and tell her you're here…" she looked up at Brian and he nodded with a smile.

„Sure, thank you. Goodbye Patrick!" he said and followed the redhead to Lisbon's office. The agent knocked softly on the door before she stepped inside.

„Hey Boss, Brian is here…" she told Lisbon who was leaning against her desk, reading a file.

„Oh…oh…Hi!" Lisbon said as she turned to them. When she noticed Brian standing in the doorway she smiled widely at him and walked to them. „Thank you Grace." Lisbon said and VanPelt knew it was time for her to leave. „Hey Brian!" Lisbon said and hugged him.

„How are you?" he muttered into her hair and chuckled. It had been a long time…

„I'm still fine, what about you?" she asked in return. She let him go and went back to her desk. She put the documents away and started to search for her bag.

„I'm great. Your colleagues are really helpful and friendly!" he laughed slightly at the thought of Patrick Jane's unexpected appearance.

„What do you mean?" she asked suspiciously. She had a guess that Jane couldn't help himself. She really hoped he didn't do anything stupid though. And that reminded her that she still hasn't told him the whole truth. He still thought that she was dating Brian.

„Well, there was a man…Patrick who was just really nice. I mean, it's great that you get to work with such people!"

Lisbon just laughed. It seemed like Brian hadn't noticed Jane's dislike in his direction.

„Yeah, should we go?" she asked instead of saying anything. But suddenly Jane's head appeared in the door. He smirked at her and she knew he had something in his mind.

„Oh, I see I just caught you in time…" he said as if he would be lucky. In fact she was so sure he was watching them all the while. „When do you plan on coming home? I wanted to wait for you…" he told her in an almost gentle voice.

Lisbon went all red in a matter of second. First, she was incredibly mad at Jane for bringing up that they lived together and second, she felt his smug smile on her when Brian turned to her with a surprised look.

„Oh, you two are…?" he asked and Lisbon felt that he felt a little uncomfortable.

„We live together because we have an adopted daughter, Sarah. He moved into my apartment to help me taking care of her…" Lisbon told Brian quickly, her voice still hoarse from the shock but she was able to controll herself. She knew what Jane was up to and she decided she won't let him win that easily. She glanced up and shot him a challenging look. There was something playful in the way she eyed him even if she was angry at him. „Now, will you excuse us Jane?" she said and just for the play she smiled at Brian once more. Then she stepped to Jane and leaned close to his ears to whisper. „I'll be home at 10. And Jane, I never planned to date him. It's just a dinner…But it's a pleasure to see you jealous…" she pulled away and heard him breathe heavily. She felt her heart race too as she went on towards the bullpen.

Jane gaped as she walked past him and he had only one thought in his mind. He had been fooled! This woman played him. Though he couldn't find a way to be mad at her.

When Brian passed him he felt an almost irresistible urge to pull him back and puch him in the face but Patrick Jane was never an agressive person, and after all as Lisbon told it was just a dinner nothing more…

So he just let it go and stared after them as they stepped into the elevator. VanPelt raised her eyebrows when he walked into the bullpen but he decided to ignore her. He just lay on his couch and with a sigh he shut his eyes closed.

Just a dinner, just a dinner…Nothing more! He repeated the words in his mind to keep himself away from jealousy.

…

When Lisbon and Brian arrived in the restaurant it was just getting dark outside. She was glad that she didn't forget her coat in the morning.

They walked in and a blond waitress led them to their table. It was quiet and kind of intimate. Lisbon smiled at Brian as he pulled her chair out for her.

„Thank you!" she nodded and he sat down across the table too.

„So, Teresa…tell me about…your daughter…!" he asked, hesitating a little before he decided what he wanted to know about.

„Her name is Sarah and she is the most wonderful girl in the world!" Lisbon started with utter fondness in her voice. A gentle smile appeared on her features as she imagined the baby's face in her head. „She has dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes and she is absolutely beautiful…"

„You must be a great mom Teresa…" Brian told her with a grin „You know…In high school I've always dreamt that one day I will marry you. I saw you with your brothers and I knew you will be a perfect mother, and here we are…You have a daughter and well, you have Patrick…and I..I have my guitar and I haven't been at home for years…" he sighed.

„Yeah…but you seem happy to me…Am I wrong?" she asked as she looked at him.

„I'm happy that it turned out like this, but someday soon, I want to start a family too you know…" he explained.

„I get it." She nodded then she remembered on his previous words. „You were dreaming about me? Really?" she asked in disbelief.

„Oh yes…In sophomore's year you were always on my mind…When we were seniors I wanted to ask you to dance with me but I was too shy. Actually, you might don't know it but a lot of man notices you Teresa…" he smiled at her before glancing at the table self-conciously.

Lisbon felt a blush creep up on her neck and she shiften in her seat uncomfortably. She wasn't used to hear these kind of compliments.

„Oh…I would have said yes to that dance…" she muttered and she fixed her eyes on her glass.

„Wow…I didn't know!" Brian laughed and finally she looked up. When she saw the lightness in his eyes she felt the tension go away too. It was long time ago. And now she had Jane…She smiled at that thought. She had him. She really had him. It wasn't just a daydream anymore, not just a fantasy. Though they will have a lot to figure out but she felt it in her guts that it is going to work. It was how it supposed to be, even if it sounded cheesy and ridiculous. Somethimes it just worked that way….

The rest of the dinner passed quickly, recalling old memories and old friends. Scool jokes and crazy teachers. Brian told her about his concerts and he promised her that he will play to her one time. And Lisbon told him the story of finding and adopting Sarah and the work she did at CBI.

During dessert a band came in and they went on to the little stage in the middle of the room. Brian looked up a little playful glint in his eyes as he glared at Lisbon. She felt his stare and turned her head towards him, her mouth actually full of chocolate cake. She chew it and raised her eyebrow.

„What?" she asked but she knew he had something in mind. Jane always had this face when he planned something.

„Would you like to dance?" Brian asked, motioning to the dance floor.

Lisbon sighed and considered it for a moment. It couldn't hurt, and the evening was so great she didn't want to ruin it.

„Sure." She nodded and stood up. Brian led her to the dance floor where two other couples were dancing to the soft, jazz music. She appreciated that he wasn't trying to do funny stuff. He kept the distance from her body, just enough to say that he was polite. He hugged her slightly at her waist and with a smile she put her hands on his shoulders. She saw in his eyes that this wasn't anything more than a dance with a friend.

„I had fun tonight!" she assured him.

„Yeah, me too…Maybe we could repeat it sometime…" he suggested with a glint of hope on his features.

„Anytime you are in town! Just call me.." Lisbon chuckled. Suddenly Brian twirled her around and she laughed he pulled her back into his arms again.

While they were chatting quietly the song changed. After a few seconds she recognised the music and a gentle, warm smile lit up her face. She felt her heart speed up a little as she hummed the words to herself.

„How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know"

It was their song. Hers and Jane's. The first song they had danced to. It was an unforgettable memory. Just about the time that she started to see him more than a friend…
She pulled away from Brian and he glared at her questioningly.

„I should go now…" she told him with a smile that left no questions.

„Okay, I'll take you home…" he agreed and they left the dance floor.

Lisbon took her coat and Brian put on his jacket. He payed for the dinner though Lisbon wanted to half the money. When they were out on the street and heading to his car she shot a sideglance at him.

„You know, if you came just…few months earlier…" she sighed „Never mind!" she laughed „You promise to call me when you are here again?" she asked.

„Of course!" he said lightly and they got into the car. Brian started the engine and with a bit of help from Lisbon he took her home.

When she entered her home she saw the light coming from the living room. She smiled to herself and put her bag down on a table in the hall. She walked to the living room without any noise and when she arrived she saw the cutest scene in front of her that she had ever seen.

Patrick Jane stretched out on her couch, a little blue blanket on his tummy and he had a book in his hands which lay on his chest. He was asleep and he had an adorable little half smile on his face that made her melt. She went closer but decided not to wake him up. She took the book from his hands and carefully put it on the table. Then she turned back to him and breathed a kiss on his soft lips. She heard him gasp in his sleep and he sighed contentedly as he shifted a little. She caressed his hair gently and with a smile she stood up. She was about to leave the room and get changed when a silent voice stopped her.

„Where are you going?" Jane's sleepy sound was barely audible but she turned on her heels.

„I was thinking about taking a shower, change into my pajama and go to sleep…" she told him teasingly. She stepped back to him with a smirk and sat back on the sofa.

„Sure you are…" he smiled back at her and pulled her towards him. She did nothing to stop him and when their lips met she let him push her into the pillows at the other end of the coach. Their kiss became emotional, passionate and all the love they felt for each other over the years was in it. The overwhelming realisation of the love was a new thing for Lisbon. She thought she had loved before, but she had to admit that she had never felt something like this before. It was true love, for the first time and she wanted to enjoy every little bit of it. Every little bit of this amazing man, Patrick Jane. And Jane, on the other hand was surprised. He never thought that he would have the chance to love again. But the feelings he had for this woman in his arms came from such a deep place and they were so genuine that he couldn't deny them. He loved her and he was grateful for it. Grateful for finding her, the one who could make him smile again, who could make him feel less miserable for the loss of his family, the one who made his live worth living.
