Heyy guys, well last chapter to my most successful story yet, thank you!

Short but I split this chap and the last up, it was too long: D

As always I`ll say my words at the end and please enjoy, thank you again! : D

Open your eyes: chapter nine.

"This is usually the part where you say yes" he half- grinned, half- frowned as he saw her take a moment to think about it. He could instantly feel his hopes and dreams be washed away into the ocean until he heard those three words any man want to hear.

"Yes, I will" she smiled and realisation washed over Jane`s face.

"Yes?"

"Yes Patrick, I will marry you" she smiled as she lay out her hand and he slipped the ring onto her finger. "We`re engaged" she whispered, a mischievous grin playing at her lips.

"Yes we are" he grinned back as he kissed her. Lisbon heard wolf whistles, cheering and clapping behind them, while Jane smiled as he kissed her back knowing his plan had worked perfectly. As she pulled away, she turned around to see Rigsby hold Callie while balancingChinese take-out in his other hand. Cho was holding the video camera while grace was holding Emily.

"Oh my God guys" she gasped in shock as she watched a smile appear on each of their faces as Grace and Cho blew bubbles in the air.

"Wow! Bubbles!" exclaimed Jane as his co-workers began to laugh. He had no clue about the bubbles or the food but he wasn't complaining.

"You like them? Cho insisted on buying them when he saw them in the toy store" grace smiled as Cho tried to hide his embarrassment by saying "You could get 6 for the price of two"

"Cho no need to hide your embarrassment. We all know it was Rigsby who wanted them first, which is the reason he stashed them in the glove box in your work SUV grace" Rigsby stared at him with his mouth hanging open as he tried to defend himself. "It's ok Rigsby. We all know you have a secret love for bubbles" Jane added and Cho laughed.

"Cho my friend, you bought the bubbles in the first place. You gave into temptation from a mature kinda guy who wanted bubbles. There is no way you can defend yourself"

Grace ran over to the soon- to-be newly-weds and placed Emily in-between Jane's legs so her back was leaning against his tummy. Cho and Rigsby watched as Emily tried to yank the ring off her mother's finger and into her mouth and Jane shake his head, letting her play with his fingers instead telling her that eating mommy`s ring was a big no-no and that it didn't taste as nice as her baby food and rusks.

"Picture time!" grace exclaimed excitedly as cho crouched down.

"Pictures?" asked Lisbon arching a brow looking over and back between the adults before her.

"Yep pictures, y`know so you can show Emily when she grows up and really just for good memories" explained rigsby and Lisbon nodded.

"C`mon guys, snuggle in a little closer" instructed as cho was doing something with the video camera. Lisbon wrapped her arms around little Emily while Jane wrapped his arms around Lisbon since he was using his other to prop himself up as he was basically lying on his side.

"Say cheese!"

"Cheese, Cheese, Theese!"

The bunch of adults laughed at Emily's close attempt of saying cheese while cho managed to get a few pictures of the family. Lisbon looked at Jane and grinned, her eyes glistening while Jane returned it and entwined his fingers with hers. "I love you" she whispered, and he sat up pressing his lips to her temple while wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "You know I love you too and thank you for saying yes"

Lisbon could feel the tears well up in her eyes again. "What did you think I was going to say? No? Not in my wildest dreams would I turn down a marriage proposal from you"

"Really?" he asked, focusing on her eyes and facial expressions.

"Really and besides you already knew what I was going to say. You knew I wasn't going to turn you down, the idea of me doing so didn't even cross your mind" she smiled and he raised his eyebrows. How was it she always managed to read him?

"Ok, so your right about that but I had a tiny, tiny thought that you would say no" he admitted as he watched Lisbon begin to laugh. He dint know what was so funny but he joined in any way until Lisbon finally managed to say, "You Patrick Jane. Knew well I would say yes and what type of girlfriend would I be to not accept? Crazy, Crazy mind you have" she chuckled as Jane laughed with her.

At that moment, Cho choose the perfect moment to take the picture.

Lisbon a Jane where laughing while staring into each other's eyes while Emily drifted off to sleep on her mother's lap.

Flash. A picture captured in time. An irreplaceable picture that would be treasured forever within the Jane family...and Cho's camera for that matter.

All they needed to do was open their eyes; All Lisbon needed to do was open her eyes two years ago and to think within two years they would have a family together, all because of Drew Austin setting a farm barn on fire with the couple stuck inside and for agreeing to die in order to be together. If only drew Austin had opened his eyes back then to see what he caused, he wouldn't be trying to kill himself in Jail right now, slowly dying from poisoning while he lay sprawled out on the lonely 4x4 cell floor, begging to be dragged away from earth. From his life that sucked and for the fact he had seen the errors of his ways for killing all those people.

All Jane and Lisbon could think of now was that they had drew Austin to thank and would be laying a single red rose on his grave, when they found out the news of his departure. They knew they would have each other forever and would be there for each other through sickness and in health.

"Tell me that you`ll open your eyes cause I need you to look into mine"

They had each other and Emily that's all that mattered to them now.

Their past, their present, but nobody could predict their future together. Not even a highly trained psychic or a mentalist.

Sometimes you just have to live life the way it suits you and most of the time you get rewarded in the end.

Open your eyes.

Well ya...that's open your eyes finished! I apologize if it wasn't a good enough ending for you :)
