Hey:) I told you more Jisbon was coming up ;) Anyway, I know this is rated T and not M but I am going to warn you, at the end of this chapter there is very subtle references to sex however actual sex isn't included in the fanfiction. It merely ends with passionate kissing and you can assume what happens afterwards ;)

Jane shook his head and pressed his ear to the rock, listening to what was going on outside. 'I can hear a helicopter,' he told Lisbon, who was pacing up and down what little space there was left of the room, biting her nails, 'several helicopters actually.'

'Are any of them perhaps heading straight for this room to bust us out?' Asked Lisbon quizzically.

Jane inclined his head a little, 'no but, I can hear people as well, lots of them.'
'Ugh,' growled Lisbon, kicking at the rock only to receive stabbing pains in her foot, 'I can't believe this. If I'd only left the building with Pike.'
Jane nodded but didn't answer.

After a while, Lisbon sat down on the floor and looked up at Jane, 'how are you feeling?'
Jane shrugged, 'fine.'

'Jane,' said Lisbon, shaking her head and looking doubtful, 'you know I can tell when you're lying. Does it still hurt?'

'Wow, you're getting good at that,' murmured Jane, 'yes, it does still hurt,' ever since he had awoken it had been to find that he his head ached horribly, probably due to the fact that it had been one of the first things to hit the hard tiled floor when he'd fallen unconscious after being hit by the cascading rocks during the quake, 'not as much now, though.'

'Good,' nodded Lisbon. She was hoping that the heated argument that had occurred before the shaking had started wouldn't get tangled in any conversation they were going to have.

'Don't worry,' said Jane, so quietly that Lisbon found it quite hard to hear him, 'soon we'll be out and you can be on your way to DC.'

Lisbon shook her head, 'Jane.'

'What?' He asked rather quickly.
'It doesn't matter,' she shook her head. She persisted in her continuous trek around the remaining floor.

Jane turned to look at her. When Lisbon noticed the way which he was staring at her, she froze and eyed him somewhat suspiciously, 'what are you looking at?'

'Nothing,' Jane whispered, not keeping his eyes off her. He really wanted to know what it was she had been so tempted to say… perhaps declare her new-found will to stay? But then, Jane reminded himself, she loved Pike. Jane had missed his chance.

Yet he couldn't help wondering, what she would say if he revealed to her just how far he would go to make her stay.

Would it break out into another argument?

Was it worth finding out?

'What I said before, that I loved you,' he started.
At these words, Lisbon's expression became rather stony, almost as if she didn't really want to dwell on this subject. Nevertheless, even though Jane knew that it was quite a risk carrying on, he found he couldn't stop now he had started.

'What I meant is that, you've made such a difference to my life. Without you, I would have never got to Red John and, more importantly, I wouldn't have carried on with my life. After Angela and Charlotte were killed, I doubted I'd ever love anyone again.'

Lisbon's eyes widened. Her throat was very dry therefore she couldn't tell him to stop talking so she just listened to him.

'But you dragged me out of that dark place. When I first got the offer to join the FBI, I wouldn't work for them without you by my side. You make me happier than I thought I could ever be and I can't imagine life without you now,' he took a deep, shuddering breath, as if he was preparing himself for something rather big, 'so I guess there's no better time to do this.'

'Jane,' Lisbon said warningly, 'what are you going to do.'

Jane gulped and took one step towards Lisbon, 'Teresa just hear me out. Anything Pike gives you, I can give to you. I'll do anything to make sure you are the happiest woman in the world so, Teresa Lisbon,' Jane descended onto one knee, 'will you please, please, please, please, please… marry me.'

Lisbon clapped both of her hands around her mouth. She wanted to scream and shout however she found herself temporarily speechless. All of these different emotions were whirring around her head, making her feel overwhelmed.

She also bent down onto her knees so that she was level with Jane who, by the look on is face, was preparing for some sort of explosion.

'You can't just ask me to marry you,' said Lisbon. However, to Jane's surprise and gratitude, she did not sound angry.

'I can't?'

Lisbon shook her head, 'but what you said, about making me happy. Would you really do that?'

'Of course I would,' mumbled Jane and Lisbon placed both of her hands on his cheeks.

She beamed, 'Jane, of course I won't marry you, but I had no idea you felt that way about me.'

'I do, I definitely do, and if you let me, I'll show you.'

Lisbon's brow furrowed, 'let you?'

'Yeah,' nodded Jane, 'close your eyes.'

Not really sure what to expect, Lisbon did as she was told. She closed her eyes. Now she couldn't see Jane, though she could still hear his slow, steady, calming breathing.

Then, she felt the softest touch on her lips. Jane had brushed his incredibly gentle against hers. She could feel the intimacy between them and knew there was only an inch or so separating Jane's face and hers.

This time, Lisbon leant in and kissed Jane softly, pulling away after one second, hoping that Jane would kiss her again. When he did, Lisbon felt him applying more force and enthusiastically, she responded, one of her hands creeping across his head, her fingers running through his beautiful golden curly hair.

Not daring to break the kiss, Jane made to get to his feet, helping Lisbon up with him before snaking his arms provocatively round Lisbon's back.

For one second, they broke apart.

'You mean it,' murmured Lisbon breathlessly.
Jane ran one of his hands down her back, pressing her to him, 'I do.'

'But what if Marcus…' Lisbon's voice trailed off.

'Hey,' said Jane soothingly, making Lisbon instantly calm, 'no ones here, Marcus doesn't have to know. If you do move you DC, we won't be able to do this ever again.'

Lisbon though about this for a moment before saying quickly, 'okay then we'd better shut up and do it then.'

She grabbed his collar and passionately kissed him again.
