Bonjour everyone! Sorry, just watched the movie Julie & Julia. A really cute film, and actually does inspire me to try and do something for a long time (maybe not 365 days). But I think I should start with updating this story first :) So here is the next chapter, ENJOY!

Teresa heaved a sigh as she set down a pile of books. Today was moving day, and she was trying to find places for Jane to put his stuff. He was at his apartment packing, while Teresa had decided to stay home and organize things. Definitely not as easy as she had thought.

She would move a pile of stuff over so Jane could his stuff there, but then she would realize that she should actually put those things away so her apartment did not become a pile area. But then finding a new place involved reorganizing other stuff. But, she had been slightly successful. Jane could have part of her closet and some of her dresser drawers to keep his clothes in. Hey, it was a start.

She decided to take a break a get a snack. This whole pregnancy thing was beginning to get to her; she was eating a lot more than usual, but she was keeping an eye on her weight. No need to gain a 100 pounds just because she had a little person inside her.

As she grabbed a granola bar and settled onto her couch, she noticed that Jane had left his jacket on the end of the couch. Must have forgot it when he left that morning to let his landlord know he was leaving and to start packing. Teresa ignored it, but then realized that this was the perfect opportunity to snoop. She was entitled to it. Jane had pretty much snooped through every area of her life, so she deserved to snoop through his stuff as well.

She grabbed the coat and started rummaging through the pockets. Darn him, he actually kept his pockets clean, only a little lint was in the bottom. But, wait a moment, she found something! She pulled the stiff piece of paper out of his pocket, stilling when she saw what the photograph was of.

It was the picture that the creep had left on the floor for Jane to pick up. Smiling up at her was his first wife and daughter. Teresa felt her throat constrict. Those two looked so happy, just out to enjoy life. And their lives had to be thrown out like trash, murdered just because Jane had insulted Red John.

She carefully put the picture back in Jane's pocket and set the jacket back on the couch. Jane had gone through so much in his life, it was a wonder that he even got up in the morning. Teresa laid her head back, trying not to think too much about Jane and his losing his wife and child so soon, and then ending up married to her...wait a second. Teresa realized something.

Jane had been super excited when she found out she was pregnant, not the least bit nervous. He seemed way more excited about being a father again than she was, but that was the point. Again. Being a father AGAIN. Was Jane viewing her as just a replacement for his first wife, and did he view their child as just a replacement for his lost daughter? If it was a girl Teresa could only imagine that Jane would try and raise their daughter up like his first daughter, trying to recreate his lost life.

Teresa tried to keep from panicking, but the thought of her just being a replacement for Jane's first wife was very unsettling. Was she really nothing to Jane, just a body to keep him warm at night, to keep the reality of his family's death at bay? Would their child not be seen as a unique child, only a new, well, toy for Jane to play with.

Teresa started pacing her living room. She was blowing this way out of proportion. Jane may have his crazy moments(okay, lots of crazy moments) but he would never allow his thinking to go so askew that he would think his second wife and child were just surrogates for his first family. At least, he would not intentionally allow his thoughts to go there. But what if, in the back of his mind, that was what he was really hoping for? Unintentionally recreating his old life with new characters?

Teresa knew that was insane thinking, but he decided to talk with Jane about it. Tonight. She was not about to live as husband and wife with a man who was just treating her like a back up for his old life, the one he really wanted the most


Later that afternoon, Jane whistled as he went up to Lisbon's, correction, their apartment with the first boxes of his stuff. Hopefully Lisbon had moved enough stuff for him to be able to actually put his clothes away, but he was just pleased that he was actually moving in with her finally.

When he knocked, she let him in, giving him a small greeting. After he had moved the rest of the boxes out of his car, he settled onto the couch to relax, knowing that he would have to move the rest of his stuff tomorrow. Lisbon had been nervous most of the time, not really all there, her mind adrift. However, she now sat down next to him, taking a deep breath, and then turning towards him.

"Jane? Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, anything."

"Okay, good. Um, I know that you are excited about us living together, being married, having a baby, all that. But I need to know, before we go any farther in our relationship, are you totally committed to me and the baby?"

Jane stared at her. "Of course I am. Why would you ask that?"

Teresa sighed. "I know that, I really do. What I meant to ask was, well, are you still more committed to your first family than to your new one? Jane, are you just staying married to me, being willing to raise our child with me, just because you want to fill in the hole that your first wife and daughter left when they died? Are we just replacements?"

Jane looked into her eyes, and answered truthfully. "Yes."

Oh boy, more drama coming soon! Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I will update as soon as I can. In the meantime, please REVIEW, and until next chapter, Li Li.
