I don't own the Mentalist or Harry Potter or Twilight!

A/N- there is some Twilight bashing so don't yell at me because you were warned. I did the love test on my iPod and Teresa and Patrick have a score of 91%! WOOHOO! So R&R and enjoy chapter 2.


Well this isn't exactly how I pictured my first date going she thought. After Jane's declaration of love as her nieces insisted on calling it they had gone to one of the hundreds of Chinese places that seemed to be on every block. They crammed the six of them into a corner booth she was sitting between Becky and Abby and Jane was caught between Kate and Lilly. The endless chatter streaming from their mouths didn't make for the most romantic atmosphere but it didn't really matter.

"Oh my gawd, if you two don't stop with the eye sex your gonna get pregnant!" Becky shouted.

Jane laughed as Lisbon blushed to the top of her roots she looked around making sure that no one was looking. "Why are you laughing?" she said to Jane and then turned to Becky "I swear if you girls don't behave I'm going to make you sit through the Hannah Montana movie while Jane and I go out to dinner."

The look of horror on their faces was enough to make her almost forget about the comment that was made earlier. Almost but then she remembered what was said in the car on the way there.


It had started innocently enough Jane had been asking questions about school and their interests. "So you girls are freshmen. Any plans on what you want to do later in life?"

"Well," Becky replied "I'm going to be a forensic scientist and…"

He cut her off "No the others can answer for themselves."

"I want to be a cop like Aunt Tess," Lilly answered

"Interesting, what about you two?"

"I want to be a criminal defense lawyer," Abby replied.

"Ah, a rebel."

"I'm g-going to be a prosecuting attorney," Kate added.

"Sibling rivalry at its best but, if you don't mind my asking what about your stutter."

She cleared her throat "It usually isn't bad and I don't mind speaking in public I just don't like speaking in front of the ignorant minds of my peers. I st-start to stutter in front of them because I get," she blushed "really self conscious."

"Good answer! Well I've questioned you, do you have any questions for me. I'm interested in how much you already know," he smirked at Lisbon.

The girls shared a look before Becky asked "When did you first realize you were in love with Aunt Tess?"

Teresa blushed anxious to hear what Jane would say. "When I first realized I was in love or when I first allowed myself to think that I was falling in love?"

They shared another look "The former.

He paused for a moment then he finally said "Well, I think I was always in love with her when I finally realized was… well I don't know if there was a specific moment in time that it happened. It wasn't as if I just woke up one morning and decided it was a gradual process." He looked at her lovingly and she released the breath that she hadn't realized she had been holding.

A chorus of awes once again filled the back seat of her SUV. She looked in her rear view and asked the girls "What do you want for dinner? I need to know where I'm driving."

"Chinese," they shouted at once.

"Do you want to rent a movie to watch at home too? What are you all into now that Twilight stuff."

"Oh no Aunt Tess please not Twilight anything else," Abby pleaded.

"I'm with Abby what about the new Harry Potter," Becky added.

Jane chuckled to himself as he saw Lisbon visibly relax at the thought of not having to watch Twilight. He leaned close and whispered "Not a fan, I see."

"Not really, they like all teenagers went through a 'Twilight phase' last time they were here and it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. I'm just glad they're over it and are into more mature things now."

He smirked "Like Harry Potter."

"Exactly like Harry Potter. Have you not seen the movies Jane?"

He hesitated "Well, no not exactly."

She turned to him with a look of shock on her face. "Girls we need to have an emergency showing of all the movies."

"Why?" they questioned.

"Cause Jane hasn't seen any of them."

The teens had looks of shock that mirrored the one on their aunt's face. Then Lilly asked "But, won't that take a while."

"It will take about 15 hours," Kate said and then added "I tried it once," when she saw looks of confusion on their faces.

"Um… alright then we can watch the first three tonight and the next three tomorrow and I'll take you out to see the last one in theaters on Friday."

The thought of seeing the movie put everyone in a good mood.


After what Becky said about her and Jane she had trouble staying in a good mood. It wasn't abnormal for them to have conversations with their eyes but did it really look like that. Is that what it looks like to other people she thought pondering what Becky had said earlier. If that's what it looks like to her nieces then the team must think… she stopped there not even wanting to consider what the team thought about her relationship with Jane. "If you're wondering what the team thinks then you should know that there's been an office pool going around about us for months now," Jane said knowing as usual what was going through her mind.

Then he added "Cho is going to be one happy man when he finds out."

"Even Cho's in on it."

"Oh poor naive Lisbon, even Hightower is in on it. She missed the date by about a week so she's going to be very pissed so I'd watch my step if I were you."

She shot him a death glare before saying "When I get in trouble with Hightower it's usually your fault."

He grinned evilly and said "Then you should keep a close eye on me then."

She sighed and then turned to the girls "Are you ready to go we have a long night ahead of us if we're going to get through three movies."

When they got back to her house she went to work in the kitchen while the girls started to movie. When she came out with popcorn and drinks for everyone Harry had already gotten his letter from Hogwarts. She took a seat next to Jane on the loveseat as the girls squeezed together on the sofa. She curled up next to him and he put his arm around her pulling her close.

They sat in silence for the first movie and when it ended she asked "Well, what did you think?"

They all looked at him expectantly and he said "It was wonderful and we better get started on the next one it's getting late."

In the middle of the third movie she looked over at the girls and found them asleep. She looked at the clock it was one in the morning she laid her head on Jane's shoulder and by the end of the movie they were both asleep.


She woke up to the giggling of four teenage girls and she pressed her face closer to Jane's chest. "Hope you weren't planning on going into work today," she whispered sleepily.

He smiled "Why Lisbon you don't want me to go into work wearing the same clothes as yesterday when the whole team knows the last place I went was your house."

"Well, there's that and the fact that your about three hours late so you showing up in yesterday's clothes only confirms what they already think, so you might as well just stay here. I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind, right."

"Yeah Jane is pretty cool he can stay," said a voice coming from the kitchen then Abby's head poked around the corner and added "by the way a Kimball called he asked for you but I told him you were too busy with your boyfriend."

A look of panic crossed Lisbon's face for a second but it disappeared almost as quickly as it came. "Did you say boyfriend or did you say Jane."

"I think I said boyfriend. Why?"

"I was hoping you had said Jane that would have made breaking it to the team easier."

"Oh they already know or at least they expect as much. Not that it really matters if they know all it does is give Rigsby and Van Pelt an excuse to hook up again," Jane said casually.

"What about Hightower?"

"Well, technically it isn't against the rules seeing as I'm a consultant and she was in on the office pool I don't think she'll care that much."

With a shrug she got off the couch and went into the kitchen to call Cho back.

"Cho what did you want?"

"I wanted to apologize for sending Jane over to your place. He wouldn't shut up about you leaving early so I told him to go check on you."

"Really that's why not because it was your week to win the pool."

"So Jane knew about that. Figures, yeah that was mostly why I sent him over. Well since I've got you could you let me know if it worked?"

She looked in the living room and saw Jane smiling with his curls in a mess and his ocean blue eyes shining. With a smile she said "Yes, Cho it worked but when you collect from Hightower make sure you don't get me fired."

"Got it, oh and boss can I assume that Jane won't be coming in today."

"Yeah that would be a safe bet."


A/N- So that's the end of Ch2 so review and tell me if you want me to keep going or if I should stop here. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see in the next chapter let me know and have a Happy New Year.
