Epilogue

Jane was laying on the couch, his eyes closed when Lisbon walked in.

" Jane! C'mon. Boss wants to see us. " her voice was a bit nervous.

" What has he done this time? " Rigsby asked grinning and instantly got an angry look from Van Pelt.

" Nothing. " Lisbon answered quietly and glared at Jane.

He stood up and they walked out.

When they were away, Van Pelt stood up and walked over to Cho and Rigsby.

" Everybody seems to know what's up here! Have I missed something? " Rigsby asked in confusion.

" Mate? You're blind! " Cho said with his normal uninterested voice.

" Wayne; only think a bit! They are together and now have to go to the boss. Don't understand? " Van Pelt worried. " Hopefully they'll do better than we did…"

" Ready? " Jane asked.

" I'm scared. " Lisbon answered.

" There's no need to be scared, Teresa. We have a good plan. It will work. And remember; not important what happens, I love you and that won't ever change. " He gently kissed her cheek. She smiled and they stepped into the bosses office.

" Agent Lisbon, Mr. Jane. " he said with obvious amusement in his voice. " Please sit down.

You know, why you're here? "

" Yes, we know." Lisbon answered.

" So; what do you think I should do? You two were clever enough to outsmart the rules… Never in my time at the cbi I've seen something like that! " he looked at them desperate. " So I've the choice between separating you or just ignore it. "

" If you would choose the first, I'd leave the cbi. Then it'd be none of your business any longer. " Jane said straight at him.

" And if Jane leaves, I'd go as well. " Lisbon continued.

" You can't separate us. Never. " Jane finished.

" So; Then I'll have to do the only thing, that's right. " He stood up and stepped in front of his desk. " I can't risk to loose both of you. And obviously you two are a strong and really perfect couple. Not only at work. You can go "

Shocked speechless they walked out of his office and headed to the kitchen.

" We managed it. Everything is alright now. " Jane whispered and took her in his arms.

" You can't imagine how happy I am right now…" She breathed back.

" Honestly, I can." He looked into her eyes while Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt entered the room.

" And…? " Van Pelt asked Lisbon quietly.

" What do you exactly want to know? " Lisbon asked with a blush.

" Oh, c'mon! Everybody here in the office knows it. Will one of you leave us or … " Grace looked down.

" His reaction was …strange!" Jane smiled.

" What do you mean? " Rigsby asked.

" Oh, mate… You'll never get it. " Cho pulled him out of the room of the even Van Pelt went out.

I promised that everything will be alright. " He grinned at her.

" And what happens now? " she smiled and wrapped her arms around him.

" Now, my dear, we live happy ever after."
