Lisbon sat on her couch. She was eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's and wallowing in the fact that she was spending another Friday night alone. She fought the urge to call Jane. He was probably with Frye and she didn't want to impose or look like a love sick fool. She turned on the TV Stargate: Universe was starting. Sci Fi was her vice. She didn't like to miss sci fi Fridays.
Halfway into the show her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, it was Jane.
"Lisbon"
"Hey, its me. I know you're in the middle of your Stargate, but I wanted to chat"
"About what Jane? We're not doing that anymore. We're colleagues, just that."
"I thought we'd be friends."
"no, its too complicated."
"why? Because you have feelings? I have feelings for you too, but I can't let you get close. I care too much for you and I can't let you get hurt. Someday, we'll find Red John and the end will not be wrapped up in a little bow. I just don't want you to be hurt… what did Rigsby and van Pelt decide to do?"
"I haven't heard from them"
"What did you tell them?"
"I told them about the stipulation in the rules about married agents. If they elope, they have a good case against termination due to the fact that they both have had to deal with the other getting injured and they kept their cool."
"And the pregnancy?"
"Grace called me on Thursday morning, she'd miscarried Wednesday night"
"Lisbon?"
"what Jane?"
"I'm watching SG-U too. This is a great episode. Rush is an ass, but I like him. But I liked SG-1 way better. This one is too dark. Oh, and Lisbon?"
"yes, Jane?
"we're still friends"
