Disclaimer: Heyy if I owned this, wouldn't it have been aired already?

Open Your Eyes: Chapter 8 just say yes!

"I'm tripping you up aren't I?" she guessed as she walked blindly from a cab with Jane walking behind her with his hands over her eyes.

"No you`re not" he lied as he felt a chill run down his spine.

"I so am!" she laughed and he couldn't help but let the corners of his lips twitch. The butterflies had been flying about his stomach the whole drive here. All he could say was he had everyone he loved here. The happy new couple Grace and Rigsby sat in their car with their daughter Callie along with Cho.

"I hope this was all worthwhile since you got me wearing a dress Jane" she said, confused as to why he had insisted on her wearing flip-flops. She sure as hell wasn't going to be walking into a restaurant with them on.

"All depends on how you react" he answered and Lisbon grew confused.

"My reaction, My God what did you do now?" she had an awful feeling that he had either damaged or sabotaged something. But outside? Jane usually chose the outdoors to mess with. It meant more money and mess to clean up.

"Something nice that I hope you`ll like. It's nothing much but I'm trying to show you how much you mean to me" he explained, as he crossed the border of grass and fine sand.

"Sure you can just say it straight out, right now" she aid and Jane shook his head and sighed, trying not to make his voice shake with nerves which was what his body was doing now.

"It's not that easy. It's a show and tell sort of thing. Except I show you it first and then I tell"

"You always seem to twist such simple things, Patrick Jane" she smiled, as she felt her feet sink into the sand.

"I do my best"

"Why are we on a beach?" she asked as she felt the sand go between her toes and cover her Flip-Flops.

"This is the surprise I had planned for you, my dear Teresa" he said turning her around but insisted on her to not open her green eyes. He lowered himself to her level and told her to open her eyes. When she did, she saw his face stuck in hers.

"A surprise, for me?" she asked like an impatient child, her eyes lighting up at the thought.

"All for you, But partially for me and someone else"

"Someone else?"

"Ok, a few other people"

"When do I get to see it?"

"Now, but before that I want you to know you`ll always have me and Emily and we love you to bits. Forever" he smiled and Lisbon suddenly became slightly emotional at the thought of her precious 8 month old daughter being left in the hands of Cho, Rigsby and Grace over at the Rigsby residence. It's not that she didn't trust them to mind her daughter since four that evening, it was the fact that Callie was in the house too and It might`ve been difficult since it was dark and nearing 8:30pm. "She`s in good hands Teresa. Don't worry" he assured her, kissing her on the forehead.

"So you`re ready he asked and she nodded. "As ready as I`ll ever be" She turned and stared speechlessly at what was before her.

A thin blanket was thrown over the soft sand and was surrounded by thousands of tiny star-shaped white bulbs, with four poles (around the height of Lisbon) stood about a metre from each side of the blanket, Ivy curling and climbing their way to the top while colourful Christmas lights hung along them.

Some dude was standing a good distance from the blanket playing sweet music from an acoustic guitar but could still be heard from where Jane and Lisbon were standing. A cooler bucket lay in the centre of blanket, with the top of the Champagne bottle sticking out the top of it while the glasses nestled on the blanket.

She turned and bit her bottom lip and it broke out into a thankful smile. "You did all this for me?" she asked and he did a 50/50 sign with his hand. "I helped out with most of it but Eric, y`know the security guard down at the Headquarter lobby? That's him on the guitar he helped out too, so did his dog" Lisbon looked at him confused. "Don`t ask, Eric's dog has a mind of its own"

"But still you did all this?"

"Yup!" he grinned, quite proud of himself.

"Thank you so much Patrick...I-I don`t know what to say" she stuttered, waving at Eric who had raised his hand towards hers.

"Feel like Champagne?" he suggested and she nodded as he led her over to the blanket, while she took in the scenery.

"How did you do all this?" she asked again as he began to pour the liquid into the glasses.

"Like I said before, Eric`s dog really does have a mind of its own" She smiled at him as he handed her a glass.

"This has to be the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I mean, you really pulled out all the stops here Patrick"

He grinned as her eyes shone from the full moon that shone in the dark starry sky and how calm and perfect everything was. He still felt as nervous as hell since the first half of the worst was over and he was waiting for the right time to bring the second into the conversation. "So you liked it then?" he guessed and she hit him playfully on the arm.

"No, I love it. It's one of the most romantic things anyone has ever done for me and I'm so glad I get to share it with you Patrick. You`re the best thing that's ever happened to me along with Emily and I want to thank you so much Patrick, from the bottom of my heart for bringing her into my life and for you being there through everything with me since you began at the CBI. I'm sure your wife and daughter would be extremely proud of you. I mean it Patrick, really I do I can't thank you enough for doing this for me" she smiled, croaking slightly as the happy tears filled her eyes and they started in Jane's.

"Stop it Teresa, your making me get all emotional here!" he smiled, wiping his eyes as he stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet box when Lisbon was looking out onto the sea while wiping her eyes.

"Sorry Patrick it's just one of these things you have to say you know? I can't keep it locked in forever" she rambled on until Jane chuckled.

"It's alright" he assured her. When she looked back at him, she found him kneeling down on his one knee while holding an open velvet box in front of her.

She gasped in surprise and shock as she gaped at the 9 carat white gold diamond ring in the box flashing out at her.

Her hand slowly made its way to the front of her mouth, while her eyes trailed up to Jane's face that looked slightly scared at the fact she hadn't said anything yet.

"I love you so, so much Teresa, no words can describe the love I have for you. I know we had it rough over the years and went through tragedies nobody should ever have or witness but we did it as a team. I want that to be the way we are for the rest of our lives and to be a proper family for me, you and Emily. So what I'm really trying to say is...Teresa Lisbon would you do me the honour of being my wife? Will you marry me?"

Lisbon bit her bottom lip as tears welled up in her eyes again.

"I-I..."

Open Your Eyes.
