Jane's keeping his eye on Betsy and sees Lisbon look his way with a huge smile on her face after Betsy says something to her.

Lisbon repeats Betsy words:

"Golden hair."

"Yes, like an angel."

Lisbon thinks she's beginning to understand.

"Like an angel sent to look after you?"

"Yes, Kate sent him when she had to go away. She told me that Golden Hair would look after me. And he is. He took me away from that place and no one has hurt me."

Lisbon reaches out and touches her hair.

"No, no one has hurt you, and Jane will do everything in his power to see that no-one hurts you again."

Betsy nods her head.

"I know."

"Unfortunately I don't think you can go around calling him Golden Hair, so what do you want to call him?"

Betsy's face scrunches up as she thinks about it. She looks at Lisbon.

"He says you're his friend?"

"Yes I am, we've known each other for a long time and we care about each other."

"Care?"

"Care means, we like one another a lot, and that we don't want to hurt one another."

"Then I should call him Jane, because I like him and don't want to hurt him, and he's my friend. My best friend."

"That sounds like a good idea."

Suddenly Jane is next to them, he looks quizzically at Lisbon.

"You guys having a nice chat?"

Betsy look up at him.

"Jane is it time for my cake yet."

Jane reels a moment, he realises it's the first time Betsy's ever used his name. He looks towards Lisbon and she's smiling at him.

"We were just discussing what Betsy wanted to call you, before you move into the new house."

Betsy interjects.

"Lisbon calls you Jane and she's your friend."

Jane looks at Betsy and strokes her hair.

"You're definitely my friend, so Jane's perfect. It's time for our surprise for our guests"

Betsy excitedly jumps off her chair and takes Jane's hand.

Jane and Betsy perform a few coin tricks and a card trick for Lisbon and Doctor Wride. Betsy's becoming very good at them and Lisbon can't help but smile watching the two of them working together. The Betsy taking a bow after successfully performing a trick all by herself , is a long way from the traumatized little girl she first met. They both applaud enthusiastically when they take their final bows.

Jane then pushes forward the trolley and reveals the cake, a mermaid wearing the same colours as Betsy. Betsy, looks towards Lisbon and smiles after the reveal, saying 'I was right'. Lisbon gives her a thumbs up sign.

Jane lights the candles and they all sing 'Happy Birthday' as she blows them out in two breaths. After applause Jane directs her to sit on the couch as it's time to open the presents.

Lisbon is clearing away the last of the party things as Jane puts Betsy to bed. Lisbon had expected a fight about changing out of her party dress but Jane had foreseen that possibility and bought her new pajamas, Betsy was happy to put them on. She's climbing on the bed and kneels up. She indicates for Jane to come closer and when he does she puts her arms around his neck and hugs him.

"It was a wonderful party."

"It was my pleasure and I had lots of fun."

"I did too. Is it my birthday next week too."

Jane laughs.

"No people only have on birthday a year, that's what makes them so special. So you have to wait a whole year until this day comes around again."

Betsy looks horrified.

"That sounds like a long time, you might forget."

Jane helps her lay down and pulls up the covers.

"It is a long time, but I promise you I won't forget."

Betsy has a smile on her face once more.

"Good."

Jane kisses her on the top of her head and sits down on the edge of the bed beside her, opening the book she chose for him to read. He's only a few pages in when she fast asleep. He closes the book and pulls the covers up a bit more.

Lisbon hands Jane his cup of tea and settles down beside him on the couch.

"Betsy had a wonderful time."

He smiles.

"She did, didn't she?"

"I don't think she'll ever forget this day."

"I know I won't. She looked so happy, and you and she were having a nice chat. It was good to see her opening up more with you."

Lisbon can't help but smile at the memory that his words trigger. Jane looks at her curiously.

"You smiled just like that at me when you were talking to her, what did she say?"

Lisbon's eyes look at him teasingly.

"That's something that's just between us girls."

Jane looks at her and acquiesces.

"Okay if that's the way it's going to be. I'll let it go this time, but I won't be ganged up on, so it's one time offer, are you sure you want to use it at this moment."

"Only one huh?"

Jane nods.

"I guess, I'll wait for a better time."

"Good plan."

"I asked her what she calls you. I'd never heard her call you anything and I figured she had to call you something in her head."

Jane's curiosity is definitely piqued now.

"What did she say?"

Lisbon breaks in to a smile once more.

"Obviously something you find funny."

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Even more so now."

"Golden Hair."

Jane calls on his mastery of self-control and sits up straighter and nods his head thoughtfully.

"Golden Hair…I like it."

"It's fitting that's for sure."

Jane continues to nod.

"Yes I like it, and you persuaded her to call me Jane instead?"

"I can call you Golden Hair if you like?"

Jane looks at her with glee.

"Would you Lisbon?"

Lisbon playfully hits him on the arm.

"Not in your wildest dreams."

Jane smiles and leans back into the couch, taking a sip of his tea.

"That is disappointing."
