A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! Seems like you wanted to read the next chapter too much, haha :D.
This chapter is a lot of fluff, really. Towards the end, it's more like slight smut, but not M :D. But maybe your opinion is different on that one :D. I felt like I had to mention, because I don't want to get any flames :D. Let's say that you can see it as M rated, but the beginning of M rated, if you know what I mean? The foreplay, lol :D.
Disclaimer: Guess what, I still don't own The Mentalist.
"Lisbon!" Rigsby exclaimed while the entire team searched the area.
Well, entire team minus Jane.
He'd been stubborn when they were about to go looking for Lisbon. He'd told them he didn't want to look for her, that she didn't want to see him anyways.
So they let him lay on his couch, doing whatever Patrick Jane is doing on that awful thing.
Now, the team was looking for Lisbon.
They weren't sure in what state she was. Maybe she was just a little lost. But she could also be seriously disturbed by now, who knew?
They walked around the forest, looking for over an hour, when they saw her. She was sitting on a fallen tree, staring at her lap.
Van Pelt ran over to her, and knelt in front of Lisbon.
"Lisbon, can you hear me?" she asked, and Lisbon looked at her.
She nodded, and Van Pelt let out a sigh of relief. At least she hadn't entirely lost her mind.
Lisbon then looked around. Van Pelt didn't even had to ask why. Lisbon had somehow hoped that Jane would be here, would be here to save her, just like he'd done after the accident.
"Jane is not here, he's at the office. Now, let me take you there," Van Pelt said, and Lisbon again just nodded.
Van Pelt looked over at Rigsby, and he nodded as well.
They needed to get these two together in a room, now. Or for God's sake, even the rest of the team would lose their minds.

Minelli had driven with the team, making sure Lisbon was delivered safely at the CBI. When they'd arrived there, he nodded, and grabbed his phone to get a taxi. Then he'd left.
The team carefully brought Lisbon to the bullpen. They didn't even know why they didn't let her see a doctor. They just wanted Jane and Lisbon to be together again.
Before they let Lisbon enter the bullpen, Cho had suggested to Jane that he should go to interrogation room 1. And that was where they brought Lisbon to as well.
They closed the door, after closing the blinds, and sighed in satisfaction. They were going to be hooked up in a few minutes.

Lisbon looked at the door Van Pelt had just closed. She didn't want to turn around, she knew who was sitting there, silently.
But Jane didn't do anything either, was just sitting at the table, looking at the mirror on the wall.
Well, this was awkward.
Jane sighed, and looked at her. But he didn't dare to say anything.
And for the first time in, well, a while, he saw her. He truly saw her. Not just his boss. Not someone in a wrong body. He saw her. Teresa Lisbon.
He jumped up, and came to stand behind her. He saw how she shuddered when his breath touched her bare neck.
He reached out with his finger, and traced her spine, from her neck to her lower back. And she kept on shuddering, until he ended at her tailbone.
She turned around. Looked him in the eye. Her eyes burned into his.
He felt a cold breeze running down his own spine.
"What did I do wrong?" he asked.
She seemed to be looking for the right answer. Wanted to blame him for everything that happened. From the accident to the moment she'd sent him out of her life. But that was the problem: It was her, who destroyed 'them'. Not him.
She shook her head.
"Nothing."
"Then why did you send me away?" he asked. She again shook her head.
"I don't know."
Jane sighed. He knew she was lying, could read her like an open book since he first signed on with her.
"Okay, it was because of Angela and Charlotte. I had the feeling that I shouldn't have been with you, while they deserved you more than I did. I wasn't supposed to be the one that made you feel happy, wasn't supposed to be the one you fell in love with. It shouldn't have been me."
"But it is you," Jane added.
She nodded.
"And I can't change what I feel for you, even if you don't like that or don't want that," he whispered.
She closed her eyes.
"I know."
"Then why did you-"
Jane was cut off by Lisbon swinging her arms around him. And the fool he was, he couldn't not comply. So he placed his hands on the small of her back.
"Just... Just be quiet, okay?" Lisbon asked, silently, and Jane nodded.
He pulled away, and before she knew it, she was pressed against the wall.
He looked her in the eyes.
"Will you please stop thinking that you don't deserve me. Because Teresa, trust me, you deserve me. If there is anybody that doesn't deserve someone, it's me," Jane whispered. Lisbon nodded.
"I can't promise you things. But I'll try," she replied, with a faint smile.
He smiled back. He buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"What did you find out?" Lisbon asked, after a long time. He pulled away.
"It doesn't matter-"
"Yes, it does. I want to know what you know about my youth," she said. He let her go, and walked over to the table, sitting down on one of the chairs. He motioned to the one next to the chair he was sitting on, and she sat down. He took her small hands in his big ones, and looked her the eyes.
"I found out what happened after your dad died. You couldn't tell me, because you didn't remember. But now I know. You... weren't able to take care of your little brothers. Only for a short amount of time. Three years after your dad died, you and your brothers were placed in the foster care system," he said. She lowered her head.
"Yes...," she whispered. Jane placed his hand under her chin, making her look up again.
"And you blamed yourself for the rest of your life because you and your brothers had to leave each other," he said.
She nodded.
"You know you couldn't have prevented it, right?" he asked. She nodded again.
A tear escaped her eyes, but she brushed it away.
"I... I know. But I took care of them since my mother died, why couldn't I do it after my father was gone?" she asked. He shook his head.
"I don't know, Teresa. It's not your fault, believe me-"
"It is. I screwed up with taking care of them, besides they were my responsibility, and-"
Jane stopped her by kissing her for the first time since she had her memory back. Their promise. Her promise. "I'm certain that I'll, as in the one I'm supposed to be, come back eventually. Save all the kisses you've got for that moment, okay?"
She deepened the kiss by swinging her arms around his neck and pulling him in closer.
They both stood up, not letting each other's lips go, and Lisbon was soon pressed against the wall again. This time, Jane saw no reason to let her go, so he grabbed her hips, and pulled her up. She swung her legs around his waist, her arms still around his neck. He broke the kiss, now kissing her cheek, her nose, the corner of her mouth, her forehead, but then went down.
He paused at her lips, claiming them in a lustful, hungry kiss. He then went down, kissing her chin, her throat, and eventually the space between her breasts. She shuddered.
He then pulled away, his arms almost sealed on her arms, not letting her go again, as he let her stand on her feet again.
"Let's go home, okay?" he asked. She nodded, intertwining their hands as they walked out of the building, gazes of their fellow co-workers and other people that walked in and out of their bullpen every day following them.
The team looked at them, clearly amused by what they'd done. They knew that Lisbon didn't have to see a doctor, because Jane could be her doctor. And now, they were probably going home, and God knew what they were going to do there.
A/N: Yeah, okay, so I must seriously warn you that the next chapter is gonna be M rated, but only that chapter (so far, that is)! It's not pure smut, but it's M rated nonetheless :D. I don't want to change the complete rating of this story because of one M rated chapter, but I felt like warning you for that :D. Btw, you can skip that chapter if you want to, you won't miss that much if you do :D.
Let me know what you think in a REVIEW, thank you! :D
