A car scene! Jisbon\ Nathan interaction! Maybe slightly out of character but hey it is fiction right? Enjoy!

It had been a long day. Even that was an understatement. It had been a very long day.

The sun was down and the moon took it's place, giving everything a bluish glow. They were driving back to Sacramento in the SUV, well, Jane was driving anyway. Lisbon was in the passenger seat, and Nathan was in the back tired, but not quite sleeping yet. It was almost nine, and all Lisbon could think about was getting home, and spending her weekend alone in piece. A possible date with a bucket of ice cream and some bad movies might be in order, too. Wait...why did all of this sound too good to be true? It was on the tip of her tung...then she heard the cutest little snoring noise coming from the back, and then she knew, Nathan. Realization hit her rather hard, and she was afraid to ask,

"Jane?"

"Yeah?"

" Where's Nathan sleeping tonight?"

The SUV slowly came to a stop. He didn't even bother pulling over, these roads were dead at this hour anyway. He never took his eyes away from the road in front of him, not even thinking about looking at Lisbon, he screwed up, how could he not remember?

His one and only thought: shit! Still, with eyes on the road, that they were no longer advancing on, and hands tightly clenched on the steering wheel, he began to speak,"Teresa, I-"

"Don't you Teresa me, you have nowhere for him to stay, do you?"

"Well...i was-"

"Jane?" her voice was stern, she wanted a straight answer.

"...no." He had now let go of the wheel and was facing her, but still didn't dare look into her eyes.

She sighed, "Jane, how could you not remember that having him stay with you, first requires a place to actually stay?

Oh no, no no no no no no! She was NOT disappointed in him! He could handle grumpy lisbon, angry lisbon, sad lisbon and every other lisbony emotion that ever existed...but disappointed Lisbon? He thinks he's gone mad and has just let go of every strand of hope he had, when she speaks.

" He can stay with me for the weekend."

Jane was in shock. This was in no way, shape, or form, her responsibility. She had made that crystal clear from the beginning. Yet she had just offered her home to him and Nathan without a second thought. She was always saving him from himself, and it amazed him to no end.

" Woman, I think i might love you." he said without even realizing it. He froze for half a second, but didn't even care. It was the truth. This woman was his rock that everything good in his life was built on, and he would yell it out 100 more times if he had too.

When she heard this, she wasn't taken back, wasn't surprised, not even phased by his sudden confession of love. She crossed her arms, looked at him, and in what could only be explained as a nonchalant tone, she said 2 words,

"You better."

He smiled so bright, you'd think it was was his Lisbon alright. When she had become his Lisbon, he'd never know, but he liked it.

Now all he needed to do was get her to be happy again. He screwed everything else up, so the least he could do was fix her mood. But she was the dreaded D-word at the moment, so he was going to have to pull out all the stops.

" I could kiss you right now, you know that right?" he said with a big smile.

" I could shoot you right now, you now THAT right?" she warned.

" You could, but you won't." sang in a hush tone, getting dangerously close to lisbon.

" Wanna bet?" Ok, now she thinks he being serious, Crap!

He's even closer than before.

"Jane, what are you- hey- no no- come on!" She rambles half words until she looses the battle and Jane's lips meet her cheek in a squishy, wet, smooch and by the end she is laughing, and squealing,"nooooooo!" He finally lets go of her but stays close to her face, Did it work? .But from the huge smile and recent giggling, he'd say so. Oh yea, he was totally forgiven!

She scrunches her nose, "ewwww.".

Was it just him or did hear two voices this time? Nathan was now awake, half because of the loud squealing, and half because the car hadn't moved an inch in the last ten minutes. They looked back at the pouting boy, and couldn't help but smile. He looked so darn cute when he was upset.

" Hey sleepyhead. Did we wake you?" Jane ask, trying to act as sympathetic as possible.

" Pat, i don't care that you woke me, but next time get a room wouldja?" He said scratching his head and yawning.

His smile broadened " Sure thing, kiddo."

" Hey Pat, why did we stop anyways?"

Lisbon budded in, " He thought he forgot something."

Nathan seemed to seriously consider this," So, instead of going back to get it, you stay still for TEN minutes and then start smooching too?" He had both his hands on his head," Grown ups make no sense sometimes."

They both laughed even though he was dead serious, the kid had a point, she'd give him that. The spot Jane had kissed her cheek on was still wet, so she started rubbing it off.

"Tess!" Nathan said, as if she had just committed a crime.

"What, what is it?" she thought something was wrong.

" You can't rub it off!" he rolled his eyes as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yea Lisbon, No rubbing!" Jane joined in.

" Wha- why not?" great, now she had 2 Jane's to deal with.

"Cause you just can't, kisses are special!"

"See Lisbon, Special!" Jane was enjoying this all too much.

"Wait, I thought you said kisses are gross and we should get a room next time?" She reminded him. She too was enjoying this little discussion.

"They are, and you should, but their still special, ya know." what don't these people understand?

"Okay, Okay, no rubbing! I swear."

" Good...now can we go home?" He yawned again and rubbed his eyes. The kid was a champ, it was way passed his bedtime, and they were surprised he lasted this long.

"That's a really good idea, actually." added Jane.

"You sound surprised Pat ." Nathan chuckled.

Lisbon smiled to herself, Jane vs Jane Jr., she never thought she'd see the day.

Before Jane could respond, he heard Nathan snoring again, out like a light.
