Anyways on with the story...

N-Nieces and Nephews

"Lisbon? Liiisbon?" Jane called through the CBI headquarters "Anyone seen Lisbon?"

"Yeah, but she'd gone home" grace replied calmly

"Home?" Jane asked, with a look of concern on his face "She's ok though isn't she?"

"Yeah she's fine, but her brother called and said he was busy all day and needed her to look after his kids"

"Oh ok" Jane replied and sat down moodily on his couch. He stayed there for a while-fiddling with everything and asking Cho annoying questions before he lay down. Grace thought he had fallen asleep when he suddenly got up and walked out saying

"Life is no fun without Lisbon to talk to" and he got into the elevator, giving the team a cheerful wave

"Nice to know we're appreciated" Rigsby muttered to no one in particular

"Ok, so who wants ice cream?" Lisbon asked the five kids who were sprawled across her new bean bags

"ME ME ME!" came the reply from everyone

"Ok then, Lucy will you help me?" she asked the oldest of the children who was sat with the baby on her lap

"Yeah sure, Jake hold Emily for me" she told her younger brother, and passed him the baby.

Lisbon was in the kitchen when Jake came in and told her

"Aunty Tess, there's someone at the door for you"

"Oh ok, can you help your sister please? Thanks mate!" and she went to see who it was.

"Jane? What are you doing here?" she asked the man stood in her front room playing with the other kids.

"Meh. Work sucks without you" he replied, giving her one of his amazing smiles

No Teresa-don't think like that! She scolded herself

"Ok, so welcome then" she stuttered

"Are you gonna introduce me?" He asked

"Yeah" She replied, calling the older two in "This is Lucy, Jake, Chris, Megan and Emily" She said- gesturing to all of the children in turn "Kids, this my friend Patrick"

"best friend" Jane told her, exaggerating on the 'best'

"Er, yeah whaterever" she said, blushing slightly at that thought "What do we want to do?"

Seven or so hours later, they hadn't stopped all day. Everyone was wiped out and the four eldest kids were asleep on the sofa, all of the cuddled into Jane, who was sat in the middle. Lisbon sat in her chair with Emily asleep in her arms.

If only this was real she thought, and let out a sigh. Jane must have heard this, because he asked-without opening his eyes- "What are you sighing at then Tess?" He had started to call her Tess during the day and they had somehow ended up calling each other by their first names

"Just dreaming" she replied, immediately wishing she hadn't admitted that

"Oh yeah, about what?" He asked, fully awake now

"You're the mentalist aren't you? You must already know"

He looked at her for a very long time, so long that Lisbon started to blush-he had never examined her like this before

"Oh I think I know"

Lisbon was lying in bed that evening when her phone vibrated. It was a text from Jane

Goodnight beautiful, sweet dreams
I'll see you in the morning-and I expect a kiss this time
I love you my darling, xxxx

She text him back straight away

Goodnight to you too, and yes you will have a kiss (that's a promise)
I love you too-so very very much xxx

And they fell asleep waiting for the morning, with smiles on their faces

Hope that was acceptable for you all :) virtual birthday cake to all who review! and extra for those with ideas :) Thanks everyone!
