6 months later:

Lisbon looked at her reflection on the large mirror in front of her. Two hour left before she would become Mrs. Pike. Two months since the day she agreed to go on an date with Marcus. She was going to get married to a man who was perfect for her and yet she didn't love him. This day should have been the best of her life but it seemed to be the worst. Her wedding started to become a nightmare.

Lisbon groaned as she struggled to reach and close the zip of her wedding dress. The wedding would take place on a small romantic place. Marcus had chose it, she didn't really care about the wedding preparations. There was a small dressing room and Lisbon decided to escape in there. She could listen the laughs and the music from inside but she felt like all was a dream and she wished someone to wake her up.

"Don't do it." Lisbon heard Angela's voice from behind and turn around to look at her. "Don't marry him Teresa."

"Can you help me with the zip?" Lisbon asked ignoring her and turned and faced the mirror again.

"Why are you doing it? Why are you ready to make the biggest mistake in your life?" Angela asked angrily.

"You are the one who told me to move on. " Lisbon replied upset.

"Yes. But with someone you love. You can even stand to be around Marcus any more. He touches you and I can see how much you want to push him away. " Angela said calm.

"I will learn to love him. " Lisbon said determinate.

"No, you won't. And do you know why? Because you are still in love with Patrick." Angela responded.

"No. No, I'm not." Lisbon hissed.

"Then why didn't you sleep with Marcus and ask him to wait until the wedding? Why did you read Patrick's letters every night?" Angela snapped irritated.

"It's complicated. "Lisbon said with a low voice trying to prevent the tears to escape from her eyes.

"No, it's not. I know he hurt you but this has nothing to do with him. You try to forget him with the wrong way. " Angela said and moved closer making Lisbon to face her. "Maybe it's time to make peace with it and find a way to be happy. It's not too late."

Meanwhile:

Jane was sitting on his living room having a glass of whiskey in his hands. He drank it all in one sip and refilled it again. He was miserable, hurt. He lost Lisbon and he only blamed himself. Today was her wedding day and he couldn't stand the thought of his woman to be on another man's arms. Sam and Pete were there to support him and stopped him of making something dumb.

He missed her so much. Her smile, her laugh, her eyes, her voice, her scent, her. He missed everything but it was what he deserved. He hurt her, he slept with another woman while he tried to seduce her when she let him in her life and trusted him. There was no return from it. He couldn't take it back.

He began to work with Sac PD. It wasn't so bad but it didn't feel like when he worked with Lisbon's team. Lisbon treated him as equal, not as a sidekick. She didn't mock him about his previous job. He send her letters every week. He never stopped. Sometimes he walked around her house or CBI trying to have a glimpse of her. He watched her from afar hiding.

One day a car would have almost hit her but he ran and pushed her out of the road the last second. It was a miracle how he didn't hurt. Lisbon didn't face him but she just walked slowly away whispering a thank you. It broke his heart seeing her like it.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door's bell to ring. Pete went to open the door and he came back a few moment with his uninvited visitor.

"Patrick?" he heard a small voice and he jumped up when he heard it.

"Charlotte?" Jane said and cleared his throat. He wiped away some of his tears as he stood up and approached her. "How did you come here?" he asked softly.

"I took a taxi." Charlotte replied and showed him one of his letters. "I need your help."


"Marcus, do you take Teresa to be your lawful, wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and health, for better or for worst, till death do you part?" the judge asked serious.

"I do." Pike answered with a big smile on his face.

"And you Teresa, do you take Marcus to be your lawful, wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and health, for better or for worst, till death do you part?" the judge asked as he continued the ceremony.

Lisbon found her mouth dry and she couldn't express a word. She was ready to reply when she heard Charlotte.

"Mommy?" Charlotte said from the other edge of the room.

Lisbon turned around and saw Charlotte to hold Jane's hand. He looked at her hopefully ,mesmerized, loving. Like she was his life, his sun. Lisbon felt her heart beating fast as he stood there in front of her. Maybe it was time for forgiveness she thought.

Lisbon lost the sense of reality as she stood there unmoved staring at Jane and her daughter.

"Charlotte is right Teresa. Go to your family." Marcus said breaking her from her trance.

"Marcus, I'm sorry." Lisbon replied guilty and removed the engagement ring from her finger and gave it back to him.

"It's okay. I should have known better." Marcus responded with a fake smile.

Lisbon let the flowers to fall from her hands to the floor and she walked to Jane and Charlotte. And then, there, in front of everyone, in front of her coworkers, her friends and her family, Lisbon putted her fears to the trash and threw herself tight against Jane.

With a little shock about Lisbon's unexpected show of affection, his hand move around her pulling her completely to his body and buried his head to her neck. He hugged her tighter, refusing to let her go again. The relief of feeling again, of having Lisbon back in his arms made his heart to explode in his chest from happiness.

"Jane, take me away from here. Please." Lisbon whispered on his neck.

After a while they broke the hug and Jane kept Lisbon's hand tight and with the other Charlotte. They walked away hearing claps from the team and Angela, leaving behind Lisbon's surprised brothers.

As soon they were out, Lisbon felt herself to breathe again after six months. Lisbon turned to Jane with a serious expression and said:

"Don't break my heart again, Jane. " and tears filled her eyes.

Jane instantly took her face in his hands and kissed her with everything he had, pouring his heart and soul into the kiss.

"Never." he whispered in her face making Lisbon smile.

Six months ago, their hearts were broken but they would focus on fixing them together.

2 Years later:

Lisbon released a breath as she leaned against the couch and watched as Jane played with Charlotte. He was so kind and sweet with her. Her lips twitched with amusement when Charlotte started to chase Jane with a plastic sword.

Her hands moved down to her swollen belly. She was exciting to be a mother again. She and Jane were official together two years now and they got married fourteen months ago. Jane returned back to her team and worked as a consultant. Everything seemed to be so perfect and Lisbon couldn't believe her luck to have such an amazing husband and family.

Jane sat beside her and placed his hand on Lisbon's belly caressing it softly.

"Our baby..." Jane whispered with his nose buried in her hair. "Thank you for giving me another chance. I love you so much."

"I know..." she said and pulled back to look him in his eyes "I love you too." she added smiling and she could see pure adoration in his eyes.

Jane moved his head closer ready to kiss her. He brought his lips in front of hers, their noses nuzzled together. He looked at her eyes and then her lips as he captured her mouth and kissed her.

They kissed until their lips were numb and the need for air was necessary. When they parted, they locked their gazes.

"Merry Christmas Mr. Jane." Lisbon whispered with a smirk.

"Merry Christmas Mrs. Jane." Jane replied with a bright smile and captured her lips again.

He never wasted the chance she gave him. He never left her side. He loved her and cherished her until his last breath.
