Jane's awake early. He swings his legs around, ending his last sleep on the couch. Tonight he'll be sleeping in a bed. Does he even remembers what that feels like. He looks over towards Betsy, and not surprisingly she's still fast asleep. It took her a long time to fall asleep the night before, a mixture of excitement and fear at leaving this room. By the door stands the box holding Betsy's clothes and a box with her birthday presents in. They look rather sad as the total possessions of a five year old, except for a doll and some soft toy animals she sleeps with.

He takes a note to himself to resist any temptation to buy soft animals as they seem to end up in bed with her. Though he can't blame her for filling her bed with her 'friends' that she feels safe with. He smiles to himself when he remembers her promise of yesterday. Somehow Nemo was misplaced and it took ten minutes of looking before finally finding him in the box with the clothes. Betsy gave him a telling off for running away again. She then told Marlin that Nemo would spend the night in her arms to make sure he didn't run away once more, as he doesn't know where they're going and could be lost forever.

He couldn't take his eyes off her while it was going on. She has very expressive eyes, easy for him to read and there's a lot more there now than when he first looked in to them. Sadness and Fear was all that was there. Now they're mixed life, sparkle and trust. He wonders what the move will do, he's under no illusions that it will be easy and he hopes she will forgive him for the pain he's putting her through. She won't understand that it's for her own good.

He looks at the two small boxes once more and remembers when he finally got around to packing up Charlotte's room. There were about two dozen boxes, bigger than the ones standing by the door, that he put in storage, or dropped off at a charity shop. He walks to the door when there's a quiet knock. He doesn't have to ask for his first cup of tea, they know he wants one when he wakes up. He smiles at the realisation that tomorrow morning's cup of tea will taste so much better.

Last night Betsy had him looking at the house on the laptop. Bringing up the pictures of the rooms and looking at the swing. She had him go through the furniture they'd chosen and drew plans of where they were going to put each item. They spent quite a bit of time on her bedroom, drawing several different plans until she was satisfied with one.

Then they bought groceries, that took ages as she looked at all the items for sale. He told her how they can visit an actual store and see everything. She was excited about going, He explained how he there would be other people there shopping too. She said she would think about it. Finally they looked at the neighbourhood park and made plans to visit that as soon as everything's unpacked.

Just as he was contemplating waking her, she stretches and opens her eyes. He goes over to her and sits beside her on the bed.

"Good morning."

A sleepy smile slowly spreads across her face. She suddenly remembers and looks down and picks up Nemo. She waves him in the air triumphantly. Jane smiles

"You did a great job looking after him. Let's get you dressed and then breakfast, we have a big day ahead of us."

Jane stands up and as he moves towards the bathroom to start her bath running, he hears her talking to Marlin.

"Is Lisbon coming?"

Jane's helped her dry off and is leaving her to get dressed as he answers the door for breakfast. He turns to answer.

"No, not for breakfast. She's meeting us at the house. We have the last of our furniture arriving today and she's there to let the delivery men in."

"Delivery men?"

"The furniture comes in a big van and that the delivery men drive and then they carry it into the house. They should be gone by the time we get there. The only people who will be there, is Lisbon and the two other colleagues that Lisbon and I work with, who will help me move the furniture so that it looks like our plans."

Jane crouches down to her level as she looks solemnly at him.

"Now don't worry, Lisbon will look after you while my friends and I move things around. They're your friends too, they helped Lisbon arrest the bad men who hurt you. They know how you feel and will stay out of your way. Okay? Remember we talked about it and Lisbon assured you that she would look after you."

Betsy nods her head.

"I know it's a little scary, if I could do it myself, I would. If it gets too hard, tell Lisbon, I don't want you upset. Promise?"

She nods again. Jane picks up Marlin from off the counter and holds it to his ear.

"Marlin says that he'll be there too, and he's dealt with lots of scary things, which end up not being so scary once they're over."

Betsy smiles and takes Marlin off him and kisses the fish on the nose, and touches Jane's face with the fish. She continues to hold the fish towards him. He takes it off her and kisses the fish then touches her cheek with it. She smiles and Jane stands up slowly, trying hard to keep his emotions in check. At the door he turns around.

"Hurry up, finish getting dressed, I'm bringing breakfast in."

Doctor Wride's been in and Jane's signed the paperwork for her release. An outpatient appointment's been made and Jane and Betsy are standing by the door.

"Have you got everyone? Rose – check, puppy – check, Marlin – check and the big question Nemo – check. Good to see he made it."

He picks her up

"Are you ready?"

She nods her head, she hands him the puppy and Rose and puts her arms around his neck as he walks out the door.
