Chapter 4: Missing Moments Part 2

Teresa Lisbon was not cut out to be a mother. She knew it, hell everyone knew it but no one was man enough to take the little baby from her. They all knew that even though at times it seemed as if she didn't appreciate the little baby, it was this little baby that was keeping her going. She needed to be a good mother for the baby, so that Patrick would be proud when he came home. She would have what he always wanted waiting for him, but all he had to do was come home.

She heard the baby's cry and knew that it was probably time for her to be fed, or changed, or god just looked at and loved but for her limbs just wouldn't allow herself to open her eyes. She heard her bedroom door creep open, and she heard feet walking towards the crib. She sighed when she recognized the feet of Kimball Cho walk in. Their relationship was funny now. She could honestly say that she loved him, but not like how she loved Patrick. He had been there for her since the very beginning. She remembered the day he found out about her pregnancy.

Flashback

She had known that it was true. She knew all the signs and she just chose to avoid them. She couldn't be pregnant. It wasn't that she didn't want a baby. Right now a baby was just what she needed. If she couldn't have Jane, then to know that a piece of him was permanently with her that just made a little piece of her heart not so broken anymore.

She made sure everyone had left and she took out all seven of the pregnancy test and lined them up on Jane's desk. In one way or the other they all said the same thing she was pregnant. She was pregnant with Patrick's baby. For that minute why she was alone she decided she'd cry. She'd cry because she never thought that she could be this happy in her entire life. At least not now with Jane being gone.

"Boss?" Cho asked entering the bullpen.

Lisbon looked up shocked to see that he had returned. At first she thought to herself how could she do this without letting on what was going on? Then she decided that it would be for the best if she just put everything out there on the table.

"Cho I may need for you to take over as agent in charge for a while."

"Whatever you need boss, does this have something to do with Jane?"

"I'm going to be having a baby."

"Is this a good thing?" he asked in that monotone voice.

"It's great, I couldn't be happier."

"Well anything you need."

She watched him get what she guesses he had left and walk back out to the elevator. He had said so much right there in those words. He knew that he would be there for whatever she would need him for.

End Flashback

She listened as he picked up Jamie and put her on his shoulder. He really was great with her and that made her feel guilty. She could tell that Jamie loved being with Cho, and a part of that made her feel even worst. Her child probably thought that he was her dad; yup it was definitely time to get up.

"Come on Cho, bring Jamie down and let Lisbon get some more sleep." A voice from the doorway spoke.

"Have you put the coffee on, Teresa will be fine once she gets her first cup in."

"Yea it's on, do you think she will be alright?" she asked as she looked back at the woman who had practically become her sister.

"She'll be fine, she just needs to get over this hump and that's what yesterday was about."

"Cho I was there yesterday, when I saw that plaque I wanted to smack someone. My brother is not dead. We're going to find him."

"I know."

Cho decided that it wasn't best to argue with Lisbon or Alexandria Jane when it came to finding Jane or not. Neither of the two would accept that he had perished until they found concrete evidence. For the two of them it would have to be a body. His main job right now was being there for the both of them when it happened.

*AU*

Adam Doe woke up by the nudging of Terry Ambrose. She was excited, she was excited and that made him miserable. She was his only friend here at this nuthouse so it was best he placate her.

"Why are you so excited about?" he groaned looking out the window.

"Oh come on Adam, you said that you wanted some sun, look at that sun." she just about jumped and down in her seat beside him.

"I didn't have a clue that for me to get my sun I would be woken up far too early for anything to be forced to get on this bus and head here just so I can buy socks." He grimaced as he grabbed his cane and sunglasses.

"No sunglasses today Adam, look at where you are!"

"Where am i?"

"We're in Sacramento! We're going to see a show and then go to the museum. We've been cooped up for too long the permanents are getting kind of antsy. You wanted sun Adam, I got you sun. I just want to see that smile that I know you have. Then we can walk around together and no one will think oddly of you. We'll just be a happy couple out seeing the sites."

"In Sacramento, there's nothing here. What Folsom Prison, a lot of museums, and water. Water's everywhere; you wouldn't believe how much water is here. Bodies are found all the time, I remember this one time…" he trailed off.

"You remember one time what? Are you remembering more Adam, seems like you might know your place around here. Do you know who you are?" she asked excited.

Adam was lost in a world wind of memories. All he kept seeing was blood, blood everywhere and water. Bodies being found in water, freezers, people dead in their beds. It was making his head spin and just wanted, no he needed it to stop. He couldn't think straight.

"Arden Fair is not far from here come on, they have a Carl's Jr. there I'm dying for some fries." He grinned pulling her from the bus.

*AU*

Wayne Rigsby was tired, he had been up all morning and his wife didn't seem like she was going to ever slow down. She was trying to buy him out of a house and a home because their little one needed a crib and everything else he could want in his entire life. Nesting that's what all the books said, she was nesting. He just had to count to ten and try his best to realize that he wanted this. Ben was bigger now and he needed a sibling. He was excited about being a big brother. He had plenty of practice with Jamie. Jamie, that kid wasn't even six months yet and was a part of something huge and she had no idea. She'd be okay though, with a mom like Lisbon and an aunt like Alexandria, things would be very interesting.

"Did you hear her? Did you hear what that annoying little twit just said to me?" Grace asked when she returned from Customer Service.

"No what?"

"No, no, I'm only trying to make sure that your son has a bed to sleep in and you don't even hear when she tells you they are sold out. I researched this online and called ahead and they had it. They had it, and she wants me to believe that in the two hours that it took me to get here they no longer have it! I swear to God, if this next place doesn't have it, someone is getting arrested."

Once again Rigsby found himself grinning. She was so cute when she was angry. It was true what they said about a woman glowing when they were pregnant. She was glowing, her hair seemed redder lately and he found himself getting lost in her beauty which sounded so corny, but it was so the truth.

"Wayne are you listening to me? What the hell are you staring at?"

"You, come on lets got get you something sweet, help you calm down, and when we get back we can find the perfect crib." He told her ushering her from the area before things got ugly.

*AU*

Lisbon had finally managed to get herself to the breakfast table. She had the day off and she was going to spend it with her daughter. She was going to put everything with Jane behind her. He was gone, he was gone, and they had their time together and it was great. He had given her the best gift that anyone could give a person and that was what she had to be focus on now. Everyone knew who Patrick Jane was, and because of that she was sure that Jamie would know as well. Yes, everything was coming into place she kept telling herself as she drank her third cup of coffee.

"Wait, I don't like that face, what does that face mean?" Alexandria asked with her mouth still full of eggs.

"Alex, I appreciate everything that you had done for me, I didn't even know that you existed until this happened and I appreciate you being here. You can still stay for as long as you want, I know that you and Cho have become close." She smiled.

"I feel there's a but, what's the but Teresa."

"I can't keep doing this, it's not right for me and it's not right for Jamie. I'm just going to accept that he's gone. Patrick's dead.

"No! You will not say that, you can't mean that. There's no body, and what about Aaron Mitchum. You know that she was a setup that was why you all were on that scene. You never would have let them take Paddy. You would have protected him."

"I would've Alex, but I can't dwell on him anymore. It's too hard and Jamie needs me. She needs me to be her mother. So that's what I 'm going to do now, I'm going to focus on my work, and when I'm not focusing on work Jamie is my priority."

"So my brother's nothing now! Ten years of being by your side and now he's nothing; I better leave before I say something I regret."

Alexandria practically knocked everything from the table as she left the kitchen. Cho left right after to see if she could catch her before she actually left. Lisbon took this time to look at all the mail that had been gathering on her table. A giant manila envelope with no return address on it caught her eye. When she opened it a CD of some kind fell out of it. She noticed that it wasn't a CD but a DVD.

She got up from the table almost on autopilot. This reminded her too much of the DVD that she and Jane had watched up in his office. Red John and his 7 suspects and the hell that all of that had brought to them. It was what started all. She stuck the DVD in the player and stood there waiting for what was too come.

First the screen was filmed with that cloudy fuzz that is on the screen before it turns that familiar black and then it began to play. After about three seconds of playing his face popped on screen and smiled at her. She hadn't even noticed she had still been holding her coffee mug until it fell on the floor and shattered into pieces. This caused Cho and Alex to return from around the corner.

"Jane." She gasped at the screen.

"Hi Lisbon, I guess I should explain." He replied from the tape.

*AU*

Adam was tired. Terry had him going all around this complex all day and he just wanted to crawl back into the bed that he had and sleep forever maybe. The lights were too bright for the one eye he still had. No one was staring, that was a good thing, maybe the eye patch did make him look sexy, or unapproachable was probably the better word for it. He just wanted the day to be over.

"Are you having fun?" she asked as she past him a hot mug of tea.

"No, but I'm glad that you are, and there's tea so I guess it's a little better."

"I don't see how you can drink something that hot in this kind of climate, I'm having tea as well but it's iced." She smiled as they exited the shopping center.

"Let's skip the museum, I'm really not feeling that well. You think the nuns will allow me to go back to the hotel unattended?"

Terry took a minute to look at his friend. He did look a bit flushed, and she had noticed that he had slowed down as they continued to walk. She totally forgot about his injuries sometime. All the things they had told her he had gone through, yet he had no recollection of it, but she knew. At night when he slept he'd cry out for people. She tried to get him to talk about it but he was so closed off sometimes.

"Come on, I'll come back and keep you company. Dragging around a bowling ball is tiresome. First I need a Doughnut." She told him taking his hand and walking towards their bus.

*AU*

Wayne had finally gotten Grace under control and they were on their way back to get the crib. They had just stopped at Krispy Kreme and were enjoying their treats. Maybe that's why he didn't notice it. All of a sudden a car jumped the curb and a car came barreling down the sidewalk right at Van Pelt. Before he had time to react a man came out nowhere and pushed her out of the way. The car slammed on the brakes but it was too late, the man had been hit. Judging by how slow he was getting up, it looked like he might be hurt.

"Oh my god Adam, are you okay?" Terry ran to his side.

Once Rigsby realized that Grace was alright, he called for an ambulance and tried his best to control the scene. The man who had saved his wife, was on his feet which was a good sign and as he called in the incident Grace approached the pair.

Adam really didn't know what had come over him. He was walking down the street with Terry but then he saw her. He didn't know who she was, but he knew who she was. He also knew the man that was with her, and that car was going to take her out. He could tell by the pure panic on the driver's face that his brakes were failing and he was trying desperately to stop. So he did it he pushed her out the way. He had got up pretty quickly it had just knocked the wind out of him but also the eye patch that he was wearing so he was doing all that he could not to look her directly in the face. He didn't want to frighten her; he just wanted to get out of there and fast.

"We've called an ambulance, he probably shouldn't have moved." Grace told the couple.

"I didn't even notice what was going on, Adam and I were heading back to the hotel because he wasn't feeling well, and then he just dropped his cane and took off running. I've never seen him run." She blushed.

Van Pelt was trying her best to look at this Adam who had saved her but he wouldn't look at her directly, she was sort of put off by it. The other thing though that was bugging her was the woman, she looked familiar and she couldn't place where from.

"Hotel, oh so you're new in town. I would love to treat you guys to a dinner tonight as sort of a thank you for what you've done for me. I can't imagine what I would have done if I'd lost my baby. I see you can relate." She told her pointing to her belly.

Terry took the moment to look at Adam again; she noticed that his hands were shaking. She knew that he probably was about two seconds away from having a panic attack. She had to get him out of there and fast.

"Listen we don't need an ambulance, we're actually here with a bunch of doctors, and even some nuns, so glad that you're okay. Come on Adam let's get to the hotel."

"It was then and only then did Adam look up at Grace. He just had to see if seeing her face would bring something to the surface. It did something that he didn't want to remember. He had to get out of there.

"Glad you're okay Grace." He told her and when Terry gave him his cane they got in the awaiting cab and got away as quickly as they could.

When Rigsby approached his wife again she was standing there with her mouth open. He had called her name three times and she didn't respond he was really starting to get worried.

"Grace are you alright? Where'd they go?"

"I'm fine. He seemed alright, he talked to me and she said that they were with a bunch of nuns and medical people. Oh my god Wayne you will not believe who was just here!" she asked with a smile appearing on her face.

"Who?"

"Aaron Mitchum, I just saw Aaron Mitchum!
