Special Agent Teresa Lisbon walked from the elevator and through the bullpen until she reached the door of her office. It was peacefully quiet and dark as Lisbon checked her watch before slowing opening her office door. 5:35am, that could be a new record, but somehow Lisbon had a feeling it wasn't. She flicked the light on and turned to close her door. Her tall, blonde and rather gorgeous consultant caught her eye sprawled out along his brown leather couch on the other side of the bullpen. Lisbon smiled and dropped her bag in the door of her office. She moved silently and gracefully to stand at Patrick Jane's side. With the room still dark, Lisbon leaned down and placed her lips to those familiar soft, warm lips of a sleeping Patrick Jane. Jane stirred and Lisbon laughed. Slowly Jane became aware of his surroundings and the small, dark haired women looking down upon him. Jane smiled and Lisbon kissed him once more thought his time it was more passionate and a little more heated for the early winter morning it was.
"Long time, no see Teresa" Jane said with an amazing smile Lisbon had grown to know too well. It was only the night before Lisbon and Jane had been sitting at the Thai restaurant around the corner from Lisbon's apartment. It was nothing to fancy but Jane still wore the three-piece suit he had on the night before.
"Why are you here this early Jane?" Lisbon said.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing my dear" Jane said still huskily after his sleep on his couch.
"I was too nervous to sleep" Lisbon confessed pushed Jane's legs over and sitting down on the edge of his couch. Jane rearranged himself on the couch before getting comfortable with his legs along Lisbon's lap.
"Me too. I didn't get here too much before you though".
"Are we really going to do this Patrick?"
"We are Teresa dear".
Lisbon sat and played with the soft fabric of Jane's pants thinking about the many ways the day could pan out. She laid her head back and sighed, she really needed a coffee. She stood up and pattered Jane's knee,
"Can you please get me a coffee sweetie?" Lisbon said. Jane cringed and the last word and Lisbon laughed as she wandered back into her office to begin the painful mountain of paperwork on her desk, left from no other than her pain in the as consultant but also incredibly sweet boyfriend. What a combination she though as she said down on her desk chair and heard Jane get up and walk into the kitchen. He really was incredibly sweet when he wanted to be.
Lisbon watched as one by one, her team came into work. Cho was first, no surprises there. He came in and found his desk immediately only stopping to pop his head into Lisbon's office to say good morning and giving Jane a small nod of his head before burying himself a novel that Lisbon had never seen before. Having Cho sitting in the bullpen made Lisbon nervous. Her nerves only worsened as Van Pelt and Rigsby both entered the bullpen together deep in conversation. Were they together again? Lisbon made a mental note to ask Jane later.
Lisbon put her head down and began working through the pile of paper work that had accumulated over the 4 days of their last case. The paperwork made her think of her lazy consultant once again sprawled out along his couch. That sight made her think of her amazing blonde haired boyfriend she had been dating for 4 months now. That thought made her smile and think back to their date last night again. Then her stomach dropped and she remember what Patrick had said the night before.
"I think we should tell the team Teresa".
Lisbon sighed. She had to get this over and done with or she would be to on edge to get anything done today. She slowly stood from her desk and walked to her door. Opening it she could see Jane already watching her. She felt butterflies as he smiled in her direction. He stood and walked over, joining her in her office.
"There will be no need for us to tell them dear if you keep blushing like that" Jane said placing both his hands on Lisbon's pink cheeks.
"I am nervous Patrick" Lisbon confessed once more.
"I know but honey, I am quite a catch" Jane said with a million dollar smile. Lisbon immediately relaxed. As long as he was there she would be ok.
"Can you hypnotize them into liking us a couple if they don't after we tell them?" Lisbon said whilst grabbing his hand and leaving for the door.
"Anything for you dear".
Lisbon dropped Jane's hand as she called her team over to the meeting table in the bullpen. Jane moved his hand to Lisbon's waist but it seemed to go unnoticed by the team, except Lisbon who immediately stiffened and blushed once more.
"Guys, this will only take a sec and then you can return to you duties. Jane, I mean Patrick, and I have something we would like to share".
Now the team noticed the way Jane had his arm gracefully wrapped around Lisbon's waist and one by one Jane watched their expressions. Rigsby's eye widened like he had just seen a dead body at a crime scene, Cho's expression remained the same however there was a small smile pulling at the corners of his mouth but it was Van Pelt whose face lit up in delight. Jane began,
"Teresa and I decided that you guys need to know, with us being a family and all th-"
Lisbon cut in and dove straight to the point,
"Patrick Jane and myself have been dating for 4 months now". It came out rather smooth and confident, better than she expected.
The team's faces didn't change so Lisbon continued, now intertwining her fingers into those of her consultant standing beside her.
"As Jane isn't an agent here, our relationship is allowed to continue. We will though keep it completely out of the office if that's what you want though".
"No no no! Oh my gosh! Congratulations guys! I knew it was bound to happen eventually!" said Van Pelt and Jane and Lisbon looked at each other questioningly about that last statement. Van Pelt threw her arms around both of them with a smile still ear to ear on the young agents face.
Jane and Lisbon both turned the other two agents on the team and caught the final moments of what Jane believed was Rigsby giving Cho a $50 note. Those boys really do bet on anything thought Lisbon. They both smiled, Cho's was one of the biggest smiles Lisbon had seen him muster up and this made her smile and relax a little more. Rigsby was smiling too though his eyes were still as round as dinner plates.
"Really 4 months?" said Cho. "Damn, I didn't even pick up on it. You guys are good!" With that Cho turned towards his desk, still smiling, as he put a $50 note deep into his jacket pocket.
Rigsby still stood there as though frozen in time. The other 4 members of the SCU all laughed and Jane pattered him twice on the back.
"Its alright mate" Jane said and laughed as he walked over to couch in the corner. Rigsby smiled and barely whispered 'congratulations' as he moved into the kitchen.
Lisbon turned to walk into her office but had a very talkative Van Pelt hot on her hells.
Jane laughed to himself as he heard the questions flying out of the young red head agents mouth as she followed Lisbon into her office.
"How did he ask you? Is it serious? Oh my gosh I knew it!"
Jane winked at Lisbon as she turned to shut her office door. Jane spread out along his brown leather couch once more. Though this time much more relaxed and happy. That had got the green light.
