"Oh Cathy it was so sweet! I can't believe you missed it! Of all days for your son to have the dentist." Louisa said down the phone. Grace walked up behind her, and instead of getting her attention she decided to eavesdrop. "He's been completely cleared apparently and he arrived back to work today and boy was he shocked to find her pregnant! He flipped out started accusing Wayne and Cho of betraying him. And he got very upset at her saying did what he told her mean nothing!" she said. "But we now have definite proof that the baby is in fact the gorgeous consultants…Yes I know that child will be gorgeous… sure it need only look a fraction like him and it will be a heartbreaker." She laughed. Grace smiled. It's true… she thought. "I no. oh could you imagine that man declaring his love for you…" she suddenly turned and stopped talking when she saw Grace. "Got to go! Talk to you later." She hung up quickly. "Can I help you Agent Van Pelt." She smiled.
"I just wanted to see if any mail came in for the department." She said smiling.
"No nothing yet." She said.

"Jane did you have to make a scene?" she asked sitting back in her chair.
"I'm guessing that there hasn't been much excitement here since I left so I thought I'd give them some." He said looking over at her from the couch.
"You could have faked your own death. That would have been dramatic. And entertaining." She said looking into her latest file. She waited a minute then looked over at him and smiled. The couch looked better full. It had missed him the last few weeks. Despite her complaining she was happy to have him back at work.

"Wow…" he whispered. She smiled and placed a hand on top of his head. She had never imagined that she could enjoy such an intimate moment so much. But the tears she saw in his eyes nearly brought tears to her own. She hadn't realised just how much coming to this appointment really meant to him.
He looked up at her from where he'd been leaning forward to look at the monitor properly. "I can see it." he said. She nodded.
"So Teresa how have you been feeling?" the doctor asked.
"Great! Nothing…"
"She's been getting light headed every now and again. Don't lie Lisbon." He interrupted looking back at the screen.
"That's completely normal Mr Jane don't worry anything else?"
"That's all at the moment." He said.
"Well everything looks healthy, I'm glad to report." She said closing the chart. "It was great to meet you Mr Jane!" she said.
"Patrick please." He grinned at her.
"Patrick then. Now I don't need to see you anymore we have our anatomy screening done. But you now you're more then welcome if you want to check up on things." She held out a slip of paper to Jane. "There you go daddy." She smiled.
Jane looked down at the picture and grinned.

"I can't believe how into this he is. He's like a new Jane." Lisbon said sitting on the edge of the brown couch. There was only her and Grace left in the office.
"He was so silent in the doctors room. And the look on his face. He's just so different."
"That's good though right?" Grace asked unsure of what to say to this.
"He's not Jane anymore. He's this whole new man, I mean it's almost like his past never happened, like Red John never happened." She said frowning. "I'm not saying we'll replace his wife and child." She stressed. "but he's just so much lighter or something." She looked up at the ceiling. Grace got up and walked over to sit beside her.
"You keep making this sound like a bad thing." She said. Lisbon looked over at her.
"Maybe it is. Maybe I shouldn't have thrown him into this."
"I don't understand…"
"Red John's just gone. He didn't even get time to relish in what he'd wanted for so long. And now I'm… this…" she stopped.
"Jane loves you. I noticed it the first time I saw you together. And ok I doubted it from time to time, I wondered if he'd be able to get past everything. But god he loves you." Grace smiled. Her boss looked up at her. She'd never seen her so open before.
"You think."
"I know." She took the older woman's hand.
"Why couldn't I have fallen for a non complicated guy like Rigsby. Would have been so much easier" she smiled.
"Well first off I really wouldn't like that! And secondly you love the drama attached to Jane. You loved repairing him." She shrugged.
"How stupidly female of me." They both laughed.

"I don't see it." Cho shrugged.
"It's right there!" Rigsby pointed. Cho squinted.
"Nope still can't see it. can you put it away now? I'm not really that interested in looking at my bosses uterus." He said sitting back in his chair. Rigsby pulled back suddenly realising that that was in fact what they were looking at, he was slightly less then sober after the evening of beers they'd had.
"You are meant to be looking at my unborn child!" Jane said pulling back the picture. They were sitting in Cho's apartment.
"Sorry Jane." Rigsby said. "But it's kinda odd. I mean. That's the boss!" he said.
"Alright, Alright." Jane said, putting it back in his wallet.
"Sorry Jane." Cho said.
"You're having a baby." Rigsby whispered.
"Well done Wayne." Cho rolled his eyes.
"No I just mean, Jane did you ever, ever imagine you would be here… with the boss!"
Jane looked over at him. "I mean personally I thought you were too… too Jane to ever do this." Rigsby couldn't stop himself talking.
"Too Jane?"
"You know all hell bent on revenge and messed up. Well I mean you deserve to be messed up! I know I sure as hell would be if what happened to me… but I just always thought you'd never be able to fall in love again." He lay back against the couch.
"I think you've had enough Wayne." Cho said.
"I'm fine." He said waving a hand. Jane was staring at the table in front of him.
"I met Teresa before Angela died, and I'm pretty sure I've loved her since. She was so…" he whispered. "I loved Angela. Always will. But I love Lisbon just as much. I can't tell you how…" Cho looked over at the blonde consultant.
"Jane you don't have to explain anything to us." He said.
"I cant even explain it to myself."

"Jane!" she called out. "JANE get up here!" he ran up the stairs almost falling over himself.
"What?" he panted, opening the door.
"I think there's something wrong." She looked up at him panicked. He ran over to her. "My stomachs jerking look." She grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. He smiled then laughed. "Why are you laughing! What's wrong?" he put his hand on her cheek.
"It's all ok breath. The baby just has hiccups." He grinned.
"Hiccups?"
"Hiccups." He nodded. "It's totally normal"
"Oh…" she blushed. He laughed again.
"Don't be embarrassed. It's ok to be nervous. This is your first baby. It's normal."
"I'm not nervous!" she said her eyebrows rising.
"Yes you are." He nodded.
"No I'm not!" he looked around
"This feels weird. We should be in the office for this argument. That's the normal setting." She smiled.
"Nothing about this is normal. How do babies get hiccups."
"Do I look like a doctor to you." He said. She didn't say a word. "Any word on Daniel Jones location?" he asked sitting up beside her on the bed.
"No nothing. Van Pelt was still working on his credit cards when I left the office."
"He'll slip up. We'll find him." He said than laughed again. "Hiccups." He shook his head, and she slapped it lightly.

"Grace where are you?" Rigsby said down the phone.
"Still at the office. Why?"
"I think I put my foot in It." he said rubbing his eyes.
"what are you talking about?"
"I told Jane I thought he was to messed up to fall in love again."
"Wayne." She sighed.
"I was slightly drunk!" he whispered.
"I'm going to kill you when I get home! How could you say that."
"He was being all gushy and weird and I guess it got to me?" He shrugged even though she couldn't see him.
"You… you are ridiculous! Why would you tell him that? Just when he is starting to settle down."

Jane lay back in bed and putting his hands behind his head. This was the first sleepless night he'd encountered since he'd gotten back. Rigsby's words were resounding in his head. Hell bent on revenge and messed up was that how his friends had seen him all these years. Was that how he'd been all these years. Of course it was. He didn't have to be physic to know that. Just then Lisbon sighed and stirred slightly in her sleep. He smiled. she really had cleaned him up. Helped him. Things were lighter again.
