Day five: Patrick and the team.

Teresa Lisbon had been at her fiancé's side since he was brought to hospital. She held his hand. Talked to him. Stroked his hair and placed light kisses on his cheek. The nurses had allowed her to sleep in the same room as him. They could all see how devoted she was to Patrick. How much she loved him. Cared for him. They all knew of the important news she wanted to tell him. There were three people in Patrick's room: Patrick, Teresa and their unborn child.

Teresa was adamant that she wouldn't go home until he did. She wanted to be the first person Patrick saw when he woke up. However, after 5 days, Grace had convinced her to get some fresh air. She hated seeing two people she cared about so broken and advised Teresa to go home and get refreshed. Get a fresh set of clothes and maybe something from their apartment to make it feel less like a hospital room. Teresa had agreed, as long as she could come straight back to Patrick as soon as she was finished. She didn't want to be from his side for long. She was determined to be there for when he woke up. She had to be.

After 5 days sound asleep, Patrick Jane woke up. The first thing he felt was pain. Horrible pain in his wrists and ribs. Like he had been hit by something at great speed. Itchy. Something was itching him. The stitches were itching him. He tried to scratch at them but found his wrists were too heavy. The plaster cast acted like restraints, he couldn't lift them in his weakened state. He started to panic. Nobody was here but him. Where was Teresa? Where was she? He needed Teresa. He needed to make sure she was ok. He needed to see her smiling face. Her beautiful smiling face and sparkling green eyes. His own eyes began to fill with tears as he breathing quickened.

Patrick!'

Teresa and Grace entered the room as Patrick's panic attack was getting worse. Wide glassy eyes met hers as she smiled at him with tears of joy.

'shhh, it's ok sweetheart' she soothed, stroking his hair. ' you're safe Patrick. You're completely safe'. She gently wiped the tears from his cheeks as his breathing slowed down to a normal rate.

' Teresa' he whispered, his voice soft and raspy. Grace went to fetch a nurse, who came immediately with a smile on her face.

'welcome back Patrick' she told him with a smile. Patrick wasn't listening. All his attention was on the woman standing next to him. The woman he planned to spend the rest of his life with. Teresa gave him a hug, being gentle so she didn't hurt him.

'how are you feeling Patrick?' Teresa asked him, her voice full of concern.

'sore' he told her in a soft raspy voice. She gave him a sympathetic smile and gently stroked his cheek. The nurse gave Patrick a glass of water which Teresa helped him with, as he couldn't hold it himself.

'I love you so much' he told her, eyes brimming with love.

' I love you too Patrick' she told him, watching his pupils dilate. Grace looked on with a smile on her face, knowing Patrick Jane's day was going to get a lot better.

After the nurse had checked over his injuries, she left the two of them alone to catch up, not before adjusting the bed so Patrick was in a sitting position. Grace had gone to call the boys and give them the happy news that their friend and colleague was now awake. Teresa lovingly caressed her fiancé's hair as he gazed into her brown eyes. She told him how happy she was to see him awake, smiling when he asked her if she was ok, with no concern for his own wellbeing at all. She spoke of how Rigsby and Cho had 'seen to' the man responsible for his injuries. She told him how a couple of female doctors had fallen for him even though he had never even looked at or spoken a single word to them.

'I've only got eyes for one special lady' he told her, giving her a soft smile. She giggled at this and stroked his cheek.

'I'm so glad your ok Patrick. ' she told him. She laced her fingers through his and stroked his knuckles. Patrick longed to sit up properly and hold her in his arms and kiss her for hours, but his injuries prevented him from doing so. However, he was just as happy to sit beside her and stare into her eyes. The future Mrs Jane who gave his life meaning. As cheesy as it sounded, she was his whole world.

Finally, Teresa could no longer contain her exciting news. She wanted him to spend some quiet time with her before she told him. He needed to get some rest, but the excitement and pure delight at seeing him awake and happy made her want to shout it from the rooftops. She took a deep breath…

'Patrick' she said gently. His green/blue eyes continued to stare at her, full of love and adoration. 'Patrick before the morning of your…'she couldn't say the word 'accident' or she would start to get angry, seeing the face of the man who caused her Patrick harm. ' well you know when I mean'. He nodded, his eyes shining with curiosity. ' well that morning I discovered something, and I was going to tell you that night when we got home, but, Well…I was prevented from telling you but now I can'. she took a deep breath and smiled.

'We're going to have a baby Patrick!'.

His eyes flooded with tears of joy and a smile of pure delight flashed across his face. He struggled trying to sit up properly and hug her, but Teresa came down to his level and they embraced, crying with happiness. He buried his face into her hair, his head full of wonderful images of the two of them and a small bundle of joy. A complete family. A happy family with the woman he loved with all his heart and soul.

'we're going to have a baby!' he repeated softly, his tone full of pride and excitement. She gently broke the hug, greeted by a heart melting smile on her fiancé's handsome face.

'we're going to have a baby' he said again. She nodded happily, her grin almost as big as his own. He kept repeating it over and over again, making her laugh.

There was a knock on the door and the rest of the team entered.

'welcome back Jane' Rigsby told him, a smile on his face. Even the usually poker face Cho looked delighted that his friend was awake and smiling. Van Pelt had a wide smile on her face. Patrick looked at Teresa with curiosity.

'I kind of let it slip out' she told him, but Patrick didn't care. He wanted the whole world to know of their good news.

'told her what?' asked Rigsby curiously. The boys hadn't heard the couple celebrating and were still out of the loop. Grace looked from Rigsby to the happy couple and back again who looked at Rigsby and Cho with excitement.

' we're going to have a baby' Patrick told them, looking over at Teresa with happiness.

'congratulations!' Cho told them both, giving out a rare hug to Teresa.

'way to go boss and Jane!' said Rigsby happily, patting Patrick on the shoulder and making him wince.'

Wayne!' Grace glared at him. 'sorry!' Rigsby said guiltily.

'it's ok' said Patrick smiling, nothing could spoil the high he was on right now. His beloved Teresa, the light of his life, was carrying his child. Their child. In less than three months, she would be Mrs Teresa Jane and in less than a year their happy family would be complete. The couple watched on smiling as Grace excitedly ran through baby names. They turned to look at each other with smiles on their faces. Teresa gave her fiancé, the father of her unborn child, a kiss filled with pure love and devotion. This was the happiest day of their lives so far, and they knew there were many more to come in the future.

The end.
