Author's note: Thank you all for your reviews and follows. Here is the second Chapter and it is most of it with Lisbon. Hope you like it. :)
Teresa Lisbon woke up alone in her bed groaning and took her phone in her hands to turned off her morning alarm. She stretched her hands and threw her hair away from her face. She was ready to rise from her bed when she heard a cheerfully voice coming from the hall and land on her bed beside her.
"Mommy, mommy, woke up. Aunt Angela made breakfast." Young Charlotte said and started to shook her.
"Can't I have my morning kiss?" Lisbon asked her smiling and Charlotte gave her immediately a long smooth kiss on her cheek. Lisbon grabbed her rolling her underneath her and started to tickle her. Charlotte began to laugh loudly, her laugh was a melody on Lisbon's ears.
"Mommy, please, stop!" Charlotte squealed. "Please."
Lisbon stopped her attach a few seconds later and Lisbon combed Charlotte's blond curly hair with her hand softly. Charlotte was her whole life, the reason she found the strength to keep going. Lisbon loved her more than everything, more than her own life. After the death of her husband Greg Marshall, she devoted her whole life to their daughter. Charlotte was 9 months when they lost him and she knew him only from her stories and the pictures. Today Charlotte was almost 6 years old and Lisbon knew how much she wanted to have a daddy but Lisbon couldn't image a new man on her side and bed after Greg.
"C'mon. Let's go to eat our breakfast and don't forget to thanks your aunt." Lisbon said calm and stood up from the bed. Charlotte nodded positive and followed her running down to the kitchen.
"Hey. Good morning." her sister in law Angela, greeted her with a sweet smile. She was a young woman 24 years old, light brown hair, brown eyes and tall. She was studying on the local university to be a pediatrician and she stayed with Lisbon to help her with Charlotte. Lisbon refused to let her work, she wanted to focus on her studies and she took care all the bills on the house. Angela was a big help from her because her job's schedule was very tough and sometimes she had to work at nights.
"Good morning. Thanks for last night and this morning. " Lisbon respond grateful.
"No problem. You worked and I woke up very early today. I didn't have anything else to do and you needed your sleep. I made coffee, do you want some of it?" Angela replied smiling.
"Yes, thank you." Lisbon said and sat on the chair. "Charlotte, come here. Stop bothering Angela."
Charlotte went and sat down to her mother's feet and Lisbon began to feed her slowly. Angela brought her a cup of coffee and Lisbon took grateful some sips. Angela sat with them and started to eat her breakfast.
"Do you have anything to do today?" Angela started a conversation.
"Yes. I have to go to the office to complete the paperwork from my last night arrest. It won't take long. One hour the most. I would take Charlotte with me and then we will spent the rest of the day on the park." Lisbon respond softly and Charlotte let a happy laugh.
"I can keep her if you want. You don't need to bring her with you in the office." Angela offered gently.
"No, it's ok. It's Sunday. Go and have some fun with your friends. Don't worry about us."
"Fine. Clara and Betty asked me to go with them foe lunch and girls talk. Is today that CBI's event?"
"Unfortunately yes. And I have to go. God, I can't stand rich, arrogant people. I feel like I have to beg them to support us when we don't have to do it. They should be glad, not criticize about our work. " Lisbon said irritated.
"I know. But it will be good for you Teresa. You need to spent some time out. To have fun. You are a beautiful woman and you abandon yourself. Have a little life. And you never know. You may meet some nice guy out there."
"I strongly doubt about it. "Lisbon snorted. " I prefer to stay in with Charlotte."
"Well, you never know." Angela respond composed and closed the conversation and continued their breakfast peacefully.
After the breakfast, Lisbon helped Angela to clean up the kitchen and then she took Charlotte to have a bath and prepared her to leave. When they arrived at the CBI, Charlotte ran and kissed every member of Lisbon's team. Cho gave her a small rare smile to her and Van Pelt played with her while Lisbon filled her paperwork.
They stayed with the team and ordered pizza for lunch. It was a tradition for the team after they closed a case. Rigsby made funny faces to Charlotte who grinned and laughed with him. Charlotte had everyone under her little finger and she enjoyed it. She was like a angel. No one could resist to her. With her curly bright blond hair like Greg and her mother's emerald eyes, she was absolutely adorable. She loved to smile and laughed and she had a kindness heart like her mother. Even Cho melted in front of her and he couldn't resist her anything.
After the CBI Lisbon and Charlotte spend the rest of the day at the park. Charlotte played with her friends and Lisbon talked with the other mothers. It was kind of a habit, they had created a companionship and Lisbon enjoyed spending time and discussed with them. It was nice to talk and having friends outside of her job.
Around six they left the park and went back to the house. Lisbon helped Charlotte to take a shower and get dress on clear clothes. After that Charlotte went to her room and sat down to her little table and began to draw.
Lisbon watched her for some minutes smiling from the door and left with a sigh to prepare for the fundraiser. She chose a black strapless dress and she let her hair down. She applied a little makeup and wore black low heels and silver earrings. When she finished she putted on her black jacket and took her purse. She kissed Charlotte for goodnight and left her with Angela.
She started the engine of her car and left behind her house with a broken heart and a sigh of sadness. When she arrived she found her team and her boss on her table and went to them. She sat down and her boss introduced her to some rich person and began to talk about her job. Lisbon was polite with them and answered to all their questions about work but she tried to keep her personal life away from the conversation. She hated when people became noisy about her and she gave her faked condolences about her husband.
For her luck, her boss talked about her and her team's achievement to catch a famous serial killer named Red John the previous months. Lisbon with her team worked hard for two years before they caught him. It was the greatest arrest of the last years in California and her reputation became bigger after it.
Lisbon found herself uncomfortably and she was looking for an excuse to leave when she heard a male voice behind her speaking to her. She turned over and looked at a really beautiful blond man. He was smiling bright to her and offered to her his hand.
"Do you mind dance with me?" he asked her gently.
"Of course." Lisbon respond and she gave him her hand and walked to the stage. The strange man putted his hands around her and became to move softly to the music.
"Who are you?" Lisbon asked curious.
"My name is Patrick Jane. You must be Teresa Lisbon, right?" Jane replied looking at her eyes.
"Yes. You know me?" Lisbon asked confused.
"Well, everybody here talks about her big arrest. They say you are the best agent on the CBI." Jane respond softly.
"It wasn't only me achievement. My team worked very hard and helped me to catch him." Lisbon said serious. "But I think I heard your name before. What's your specialty?"
"I'm a psychic. I worked some cases with the Sac PD. "
"Oh, I see. And what exactly do you want from me Mr. psychic?" Lisbon said with a cold voice.
"What?" Jane asked confused.
"I remember when I heard your name and I know ,you see people as pawns. So what do you want from me? An access to work with the police and gain more reputation or you just want to bed me and leave me the next day?" Lisbon snapped at him.
"You are wrong Mrs. Lisbon. Do you think I am so superficial? I saw a beautiful woman and I wanted to dance with her. To get to know her." Jane respond with a voice of hurt.
"Please. You are a born liar Mr. Jane. I know how people from your circle work and live. I met a lot of them and some of them were really good but I know one thing for all you. You are all fakes and you live in the suffer of the others. You don't care to help someone. You only care to find ways to fill your bank accounts. And that's disgusting. So, drop your play and tell me the truth." Lisbon said and raised her eyebrows.
"That's not truth Mrs. Lisbon. I helped my clients. I helped them to make peace with their pasts and communicate with their love ones."
"Have you ever help someone for free Mr. Jane? And how much are you asking for your help?" Lisbon beamed to him.
Jane opened his mouth to talk again but Lisbon interrupted him and continued:
"As I said you may want two things from me. If you search for a place in my team, I'm sorry but I don't work with frauds. You can confirm it with one of your club, a woman Kristina Frye who tried with sneaky way to take the credits of one of my arrest. If you want to sleep with me, I suggest you to look to another woman because you are losing your time with me. " Lisbon said and disentangled herself from his hands as the song finished and left him without giving him time to defend himself.
Lisbon went back to her colleagues and with a polite excuse she left from the event to go home. Her boss tried to stop her but she found a way and slipped out. As she left and was safe back to her house she let a sigh of relief. She threw her shoes away and went to see Charlotte. She opened her door carefully and watched her sleep peacefully on her bed. Lisbon smiled at the sight of her daughter and went to her bedroom to change and sleep. Tomorrow was a new day, probably a new case would come and she had to be strong and rest to bear it.
