A/N: So here is the last chapter...I really hope you all have enjoyed reading this. Sorry for any mistakes! I was finishing this at like 1am. :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing...as usual!
Arriving at the hospital I am met with a wheel chair and a couple of smiling nurses.
"I am perfectly capable of walking, thank you." I wave the help away and start to limp my way to the entrance of the E.R. My team was never far from my side as I walked. Neither was the nursing staff and it became a little bothersome.
I stopped and turned to the group behind me, "You know I am not going to break walking 10 feet to be admitted."
"Oh give them a break Teresa. They are worried about you." I herd the smile in his voice come from behind me.
"Shut up Jane." I said. The nerve of that man! Of course I know they are worried. I have eyes and ears.
Jane? Jane!
I spin around to face him but regret it immediately. A sharp pain shoots through my ribs and I feel the temporary stitches on my cut restrict the movement and aggravate the injury further. I double over and all at once people are around me asking a million questions.
I feel a warm, loving arm snake around my waist to help keep me upright. Thank god he didn't pick me up bridle style and insist on carrying me to where I needed to go. He then told a nurse, "I think she will take that wheel chair now." I groan in protest but sat in the chair anyway.
I glare at Jane and he just smiles back. How can I be upset at that face? I can never stay mad at him for long can I? Looking at him, I see relief in his features and another emotion trying to overrule that relief. Love. I can't help but smile back. He comes to kneel in front of me and places both hands on my face, but being careful of the side with the cut. His hands were soft and comforting, I sigh and lean into them, liking the contact. One thumb began to sooth the angry red mark on my cheek. It felt nice. For once I wasn't in pain.
"I am so glad you're safe. You have no idea what that did to me. You think you could try and not do it again?" He asked jokingly but with an underlying seriousness.
My smile grew a little, "I make no promises, but i'll try. For you...I will try." I whispered the last part so only he heard.
"Thank you." He leaned in to kiss me but was interrupted by a nurse saying that I really should be examined now.
I heard the team 'shhh' her but it was too late, the moment was lost. But I had to be a little glad for the interruption though, who would want a first kiss to be on display in front of a whole E.R. and its staff? I wouldn't. I think I would like to concentrate on the kiss not on whats going on around me.
Jane dropped his hands and his forehead came to rest on mine with a sigh. I had to laugh a little at his expression even though it hurt because who wouldn't laugh at the pout that was now plastered on his face. He laughed too, then pulled away only to press a lingering kiss to where his head had been only a moment ago.
"Later." I said and turned to the nusre that had ahold of my wheel chair. "He is the first to come back. No one else."
"Gee, thanks Boss!" Rigsby said looking at the rest of the team.
"They can come too. But guys, I need to speak to Jane first okay?"
They shook their heads yes and looked at me with smiles. If only they knew what I had to tell him. I mean, I will tell them too but Jane has the right to know first.
Jane noticed the change in my voice but nodded, grabbed my hand, gave it a kiss and smiled. "Later."
It was probably a couple hours later, after they wheeled me back here before they said I could have visitors. They were still waiting for my x-rays to come back along with blood work so they said they would tell my team they could come see me. I said a thank you and waited for Jane, knowing I would see him first if they kept their promise.
I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror on the wall and definitely don't like the way I look. Gosh, I have bags under my eyes, no make up on, my hair is a mess. How could no one had said something? Combing my fingers through my hair trying to tame the wild mess, I didn't see Jane standing there in the doorway starring at me.
I was still trying to get my appearance under control when he cleared his throat. I jump and my hand flew to my heart.
He laughed and walked in, "Sorry! I know, I know...'Don't do that Jane'." He quoted me, sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Hi." I grumbled
"Hi."
He is smiling at me that crazy contagious smile again and leaning in. His lips are only a fraction away, I can feel his warm breath on my face. But I have to stop him, I have to tell him about Red John first. I must tell him. Placing a hand on his chest he stops but doesn't move away.
"Jane..."
"Hmm..." Since I wouldn't let him kiss my lips he settled for my jaw and neck. Driving me crazy of course. But I wasn't going to let him distract me yet, I needed to tell him.
"Jane. Someone shot Volker right before he was about to shoot me." God! The things this man can do to me! It's making it really hard to speak in full sentences. And he hasn't even kissed me on my mouth yet!
"I know, someone called 911 and told them where to find you. I knew you where going to be okay thats why I met you here. You taste amazing." He murmured against the sweet spot just below my ear. By now my arms have come around him and were exploring the hair at the base of his head and sometimes my fingers would venture below the collar of his shirt and then migrate back into his hair.
I didn't want him to stop but I knew once I told him this next part her would. Savoring the last of his kisses before he stops, I clutch him tighter. Well as tight as my injuries would let me.
Loosening my grip I say, "It was Red John."
The kisses stopped, as I knew they would and he slowly pulled back to look at me. His eyes were searching. Searching for what? I don't know. "Are you sure?" He asked.
"He told me Jane."
"You talked to him?" He had been looking away from me when he asked if I was sure but now he faced me, with the look of terror and hate written on his face.
"Yes."
He was fuming and pacing, I didn't know what to do. "What happened Lisbon? I want details, please!"
"Okay, I will tell you! But first, please Jane, will you sit down?" I tried.
He took a few deep breaths and then did as asked and sat on the bed again.
"Thank you. So Volker and I had just had our fight and he found a way to my gun. He pointed but never got the chance to shoot. I didn't know what was going on because I the lights went out and someone had put that damn hood back over my head again. I asked who he was and he told me he was Red John."
"He told you."
"He told me that he saved me so he could have me all to himself. He is the only one that gets the pleasure of watching you crumble. Again."
Jane didn't say anything and he didn't have to. I already know whats going through his head. What always goes through his head. His family, the haunting red smiley on his wall, his revenge. I can only imagine what its like. The room was so quite you were afraid to speak. Also the tension could be cut with a knife so I decide to take another note from Jane's book and try to lighten the mood.
"If I didn't already hate him, I would because he got a little handsy before he left."
Jane's head whipped around so fast, he could have had whiplash, "He touched you?" He said through his teeth.
So much for lightening mood. Jane was angry. I have never seen him so upset!
"Calm down Jane, please! He touched my thigh, I wasn't-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because suddenly Jane's lips where on mine. Stunned, but only for a second before I find myself kissing him back. He tastes so sweet, whether it be from the honey or sugar in his tea or just his natural taste, I knew that I could never have enough. I wanted him in every part of my life. Every hour, every minute, every second of every day! All of it! I needed him and I know he needs me too.
The kiss deepened when I felt his tongue glide over my bottom lip, asking for entry. I didn't hesitate in granting his request. We explored each other for a moment before the need for air became to much and we had to break apart. But Jane didn't stop there, he moved his mouth back to my neck and jaw like before. He found the pulse point at my neck and kissed and nipped at that too. Confirming that I was alive and marking me as his. I normally would have protested this mark of territory, but it was just to good to stop. Hands started to wander, and somehow the top to my hospital gown had come undone and was threatening to fall. I tried to wiggle closer to him but the pain had gotten worse. I had been successfully ignoring it but it became to much.
"Ahh, that hurts!" I felt Jane back away instantly with an apologetic look.
"I'm so sorry Lisbon! I didn't mean to hurt you! You want a nurse? I will get a nurse." Jane scrambled. But I grabbed his hand.
"Jane, i'm okay. No nurse. It was my fault anyway." I smiled.
"I'm still sorry. I shouldn't have jumped you like that. Its just he makes me so mad! How dare he touch you like that! And with his creepy killer hands! Its disgusting." He finished.
"I agree. But please don't be sorry about the kiss. I happened to think it was pretty damn amazing." I said tying up my gown again before anything was prematurely exposed.
"Did I do that?" He asked and gestured to what I was doing.
"I believe you did."
"Sorry...again." He said and offered to help me, which I let him do.
We were silent for a moment, slowly coming down from our high and I choose that moment to tell him. I grabbed his hand, "I know who he is Patrick. I recognized his voice."
"What? Who?" He said jumping up again.
"We have no proof of this, only my word against his. So please, please don't do something stupid."
He just looked me waiting for my answer. I sighed and said, "Robert Kirkland of Homeland Security."
Janes face became a stone wall. A mask. I couldn't tell what he was thinking and it scared me.
Just then the team came in and found us like that. Jane starring off into space and me clutching his hand so he couldn't run away.
"What did we miss?" Van Pelt asked her team members.
"I don't know, I thought they would be making out when we came in." Rigsby said.
"They will tell us, just...calm down." Cho.
I had heard them enter but refused to let my eyes leave Jane. But after a couple of minutes, I felt comfortable enough to look away and explain what happened to the team. My second family.
They were shocked, liked Jane, but understood we needed solid proof that Robert Kirkland was in fact Red John. I just needed to convince Jane of that.
"Jane? Will you look at me?"
He didn't budge.
"If I have to stand on this bed to look you in the eye then so be it. What will it be Jane? Look at me or risk hurting myself more, so I can talk to you while looking in you in the eye?"
That seemed to catch his attention. He broke out of his spell and sat down again, looking straight at me. It was good to know he was still thinking about my welfare.
"Thank you. Do you want to get revenge for your family?"
"Yes. You know that."
"Then please let us get the proof we need. We can't have another Timothy Carter. You put us through hell when you killed him. Jane, please. Don't go after him. We need you out here with us. I need you. We are better with you and I know you have become a better person with us. And what about us? I told you this morning this won't end nice if I have to arrest you for murder. Trust me I don't want to have to. If not do it for those reasons, do it for Angela and Charlotte. They wouldn't want you to rot in jail for having killed another man. They would want Red John to be the one to rot in jail. Not their wonderful husband and father. So Jane, will you promise that you won't go after him?" I had given my speech and prayed to God that something got through.
He looked at me with tears brimming in his eyes. He slowly smiled and reached for my face. Caressing it softly he quoted, "I make no promises, but i'll try. For you...I will try."
Smiling, "Thats all I ask."
He leaned in and kissed me again and we heard a collective gasp from our extended family behind us. We just smiled against each others lips and waved them away.
We broke apart because I remembered something very important I had to tell him.
"I love you." I said breathless.
"And I love you." He answered giving me several quick kisses.
"I love you, I love you, I love you..." I repeated.
"Yes I know! As much as I love hearing you say that, why so many?" He laughed and brushed a lock of hair out of my face.
"I guess I just like the way it sounds." I told him. "I love you."
"I do too." Jane said as he came in for another mind blowing kiss.
Red John told me I would be I would be living on high alert from now on knowing he was after me. But what he didn't know was that I have the best people on my side looking out for me. They really are the best, and I don't do enough to show them. He said that when I let my guard down, that is when he will come for me but there are a whole hell of a lot of people he will have to go through. Let him try. He will fail.
