Okay thanks for all the reviews, much appreciated. Ruby is based on me well her character not what happens to her, and I know some of you want me to dumb her down but she's meant to be a really mature girl who is about to become 13. And she will be crying more don't worry about that.

Hope you like this chapter x

Ruby walked off with the woman then ran back. "Miss Lisbon would you be my foster parent?"

"Umm… I'll have to think about that. I mean you're a lovely girl but your mum has just died and I feel a bit unsure that I'd be able to look after you." Lisbon told her completely shocked at the girl's statement.

"Okay, I just wondered. I know how horrible the foster care system is, I just don't want to go back." Ruby said.

"Aha I knew it Leanne wasn't your mother was she?" Jane asked her Lisbon glared at him for the outrageous question.

"She wasn't my biological mother but she was my mum. And I miss her so much." Ruby said running off to the foster care woman crying her eyes out. Lisbon hit Jane on his arm.

"Jane! Why the hell did you just do that, her mum just died." Lisbon shouted at him.

"I know who killed her. It was her mystery lover." Jane walked off waiting for Lisbon to follow him but she didn't she continued giving orders to Van Pelt, Rigsby and Cho before running to catch up with him.

"So who's the mystery lover, and why are we walking to the garage?" Lisbon asked him "Wait don't tell me the mystery lover has been living in the garage so we'll find him and the murder weapon in there." Jane smiled at her.

"Well done Lisbon." Jane told her clapping his hands.

"Jane don't even think about patronizing me again." Lisbon told him reaching for her gun. She opened the garage door and stepped aside so that the suspect wouldn't hurt her but he landed on top of Jane who had pushed him to the floor while waiting for Lisbon to arrest him.

"I wouldn't dream of it my dear." He flashed her his 100 watt grin and proceeded to walk to the car. "So are you thinking about being her foster parent?"

"I'm going to say yes because I think it could be fun having a 12 ear old around and there's my dog Mia so she'll have a dog to play with when she's bored." Lisbon smiled as the image of her cuddled up with Ruby and Mia on her bed popped up in her head.

"Aww Lisbon's gonna be a mum. I think she'll be a lot of fun and meddle with Rigsby and Van Pelt; I just can't wait to see that. And I and Rigsby will make sure no boy ever goes near her."

"What is it with men and being overly protective of kids, she's just 12 I'm sure she hasn't got a boyfriend yet." Lisbon told him.

Once they arrived at headquarters the lover, James Balkan, confessed to the murder and he told them he did it because she was leaving him. Ruby had entered and saw Lisbon's office and ran over to it but a she did that someone picked her up before she could get anywhere.

"Hello Ruby, looking for me?" Lisbon asked smiling as the little girl tried to wiggle free. "Don't strain yourself I don't want to hurt you."

"You caught the man who murdered my mum didn't you?" Lisbon nodded, "Thank you Teresa." Ruby hugged Lisbon once she had set her on the ground.

"I was thinking Ruby that I wouldn't mind becoming your foster parent, I have a spare room that I think you will like."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Ruby yelled jumping up and down.

"I live near where you lived previously so you will still be going to the same school. And we are going shopping this weekend and you can have a friend round if you want." Lisbon told her.

"This is going to be so much fun, thanks Teresa. Can I nick name you Tessa?" Lisbon nodded because it was what her family called her growing up.

"Ruby, this is a pleasant surprise!" Jane told her while giving her a hug. "I am very sorry about earlier I didn't mean to say that."

"Its fine, I know you didn't mean to you just got your foot in your mouth." She smiled at him and they headed to the kitchen to find Rigsby and Van Pelt flirting as usual. "Are you two flirting again? My god, people get a room!"

"Ha-ha very funny Ruby. I'm gonna go back to work now boss instead of eating all our food." Rigsby said Van Pelt following closely behind as he walked over to his desk. Ruby and Jane looked at each other knowingly while Lisbon poured some water for Ruby and made herself and Jane some tea.

"Don't worry I'll try not to meddle with you two, it's not a good idea to do that with guardians." Ruby said, she had almost said parents but then realised hers are dead. She had a single tear come down her cheek. Lisbon walked over slowly to her and gave her a hug. "Thanks Tessa."

"Jane don't you have someone to hypnotize or a couch to go 'work' on?" Lisbon said, catching the hint Jane walked out of the room tea in his hand.

"Look Tessa, I think I know what you're going to say. I know I've been through a lot and all of that but I've learnt to cope. I'm not saying you're not going to find me crying but I'll never forget her."

"I understand I was just going to say we caught the guy who killed your mother and I was going to talk to you about that at home." Lisbon chuckled. "Apparently no dating till you're 40. Pay no attention to Jane and Rigsby, especially Rigsby he can't even ask a girl out now." Ruby snorted once se had said that and decided to explore the place.

"Why do you need so much space, you could turn this into a theatre." Ruby said pulling Jane off his couch and lying down on it.

"Look Ruby, two rules you should learn. One, never ever ever disturb me when I'm working and two, don't touch the couch." Jane told her picking her up and lying back down on the couch.

"Don't worry there's another one in my office." Lisbon whispered so that Jane wouldn't start annoying her by keeping her company in her office, not that she wouldn't mind Jane in her office.

"Ooh ooh look at them they're hugging!" Ruby said jumping up and down excitedly. Van Pelt and Rigsby were stood a few meters away in the corner hugging. Rigsby had the biggest grin ever on his face and Grace was smiling sweetly at him.

"Cho you owe me 10 bucks." Jane shouted to him, Van Pelt and Rigsby looked up to see Jane, Lisbon, Ruby and Cho staring at them.

"I'm happy for you just keep it out of the office. And I have no desire to make one of you leave my team." Lisbon took Ruby's hand and led her to her office Jane following them behind.

"Boo!" Lisbon jumped up in the air and turned and hit Jane on the chest.

"Jane you know that's not funny! You scared the hell out of me!" She half shouted at him. Damn him with his beautiful blue eyes and luscious blonde curly hair.

"I know you're thinking about me Lisbon, I know I'm incredibly gorgeous but I'm sure that'd be an understatement if I said that to you."

"I wasn't thinking about you Jane. I was thinking it's time we got a meal as a team and important Ruby." Jane gave her a look as if to say sure you were. "Let's go before Rigsby clears the fridge."

"Guys come on we're going out for closed case meal at an actual restraint all dressed up because Jane still has a lot of money left over from last year. Oh and we have to be there by 6pm" Lisbon yelled Rigsby stood up quickly and grabbed Van Pelt's hand.

"Okay Grace, I will pick you up at 5:30pm." Rigsby kissed her cheek the walked out the room.

Ruby awed at the two then went back to playing her music; she suddenly stopped and looked at Lisbon. "Teresa when can I get my laptop back?" She asked while wrapping her headphones around her Ipod touch.

"Um I suppose we can go get it now then go get ready to go out." Lisbon said grabbing her jacket. "Right we're off we'll see you guys later tonight."
