I don't own the Mentalist or 'If Only You Knew'.
This is what happens when I get bored when I'm supposed to be doing my homework! The sequel to Lisbon's nieces so if you haven't read that yet you'll want to otherwise it will make no sense! So enjoy and don't forget to review!
As the buzz of her alarm went off Teresa snuggled into her pillow, she wasn't ready to go into work not after the break she had. She heard a knock at the door and mumbled a sleepy "M'in."
"Rise and shine sleepy head," Jane said cheerily with a cup of coffee in hand.
She sat up and stuck her hand out for her mug "I knew there was a reason I kept you around," she replied when she had her coffee in hand.
He smiled before he got pushed out of the way by an aggravated teen, "Aunt Tess will you tell Lilly to get out of the shower some of us still need to get ready," Abby complained
This is going to be interesting she thought she wasn't used to having four other women in the house with her. It was going to take some getting used to she realized as she went upstairs to prevent the third world war from starting in her bathroom. "What is the problem here? You all have all gotten ready in here before what's changed?"
"Lilly has been in the shower for almost twenty minutes! Normally we don't have to be ready at any certain time but now we have to be ready for school after being out for over half a month!" Abby exclaimed.
"Lilly, get out of the shower!" Lisbon shouted "There now who hasn't had a shower yet?"
All three of the girls raised their hands "Ok we have two hours until you need to be at school you each have fifteen minutes in the shower. You can decide who gets the first shower, draw straws or flip a coin I don't care just make sure I have time to get ready!"
When she went back downstairs the first thing she saw was a laughing Jane. "What's so funny?" she snapped.
He stuck his hands up in mock surrender "Calm down Teresa. The girls are just adjusting they'll settle in soon."
It was like he could read her mind; she flopped down on the couch beside him and laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed "I just hope it's soon. I didn't realize how different teenage girls were from teenage boys."
Jane politely suppressed his laughter knowing that today of all days that it would not be a good idea to piss Lisbon off. So he just nodded and said "You make a good mom Lisbon and I'm sure that once they get used to the new situation everything is going to be fine. Plus you have me to help you out and I'm sure if you asked the team would help too." He chuckled in spite of himself at the thought of it.
"What is so funny?" Lisbon questioned.
"I was just thinking about Cho trying to comfort four hormonal teenage girls."
At the thought of that Lisbon started laughing too. The thought of it put her in a better mood and she got up from the couch so that she could start getting ready.
Two hours later they were in the car on their way to school, she felt more nervous than the girls did she had to pick up all their school stuff the night before and was worried that they were missing something. "If anything happens or your missing something just call I'll have my cell with me at all times."
"Chill Aunt Tess you've done this before nothing is different," Becky said calmly.
She was right of course but she still felt what could only be described as panic when the four girls climbed out of her SUV. Jane laid his hand on her arm and joked "The baby birds are leaving the nest."
She shot him a death glare and pulled out of the lot "You better behave today," she chided "because we're going to be watched all day today."
He gave her a look of innocence and asked "Oh, Lisbon when am I anything but well behaved."
After two weeks at home with the girls and Jane it took some getting used to when she got back. She got some glares from several women on her way inside the CBI building. Jane laughed when he saw her look of confusion "By now everyone in the building knows that were together Lisbon. You're getting death glares from women who were hoping to be where you are now."
"Really that many women want to put up with your annoying ass."
He stuck his tongue out at her while she smirked at him. "Will you two not do that at work. You had two weeks to get the new couple crap out of the way," Cho said as he walked into the room.
Lisbon blushed furiously as Jane said "Well Cho it might take some getting used to; after all I did have two weeks where I could do whatever I wanted with her and not worry about anyone walking in."
As Lisbon regained her composure she added "That's not entirely true Jane."
He nodded "She's right; we did have to worry about the mini Lisbons walking in."
"Mini Lisbons?" Van Pelt questioned as she walked in.
"My nieces," Lisbon answered "Jane is convinced that they're mini-me's"
"Not your nieces anymore," Jane corrected.
Grace gave her a confused look "I legally adopted them, so technically they're my daughters now."
She left after that to keep from having to answer more questions. She expected Jane to follow her but he didn't he went straight to his beat-up, brown leather couch. She rolled her eyes; I swear sometimes I think he loves that couch more than me she thought. When she got to her office she felt her jaw drop at the massive pile of paperwork that filled her desk. I'm gone two weeks and it takes over she thought; with a sigh she sat down and put in her iPod hoping that it would at least make time go by faster and if nothing else prevent people from coming in and interrupting her.
Jane knew that Lisbon was a little aggravated that he didn't move from his spot on the couch into her office. But, what she didn't realize was that in the right position on the couch not only could he see the spot on the ceiling that looked like Elvis he also had a perfect view of her office or more specifically a perfect view of her. He also knew that if he was in the office with her he wouldn't be able to stand being in such close quarters with her and not be able to hold her, to kiss her, too well do what they had been doing for the past two weeks just be with each other, he didn't have to explain anything to her he could just hold her in his arms and know that everything would be alright.
As she sat at her desk she could feel her head slightly bob to the beat of the peppy song coming out of her headphones. She loved We the Kings and had all of their music on her iPod and not much else so she was surprised when a song that she didn't remember putting on her iPod started to play. The girls had taken her iPod and loaded it with all of the 'hottest music' so she just kept listening and about thirty seconds in she dropped her pen in shock not sure if she had heard correctly. She picked up her music player and looked at the song 'If Only You Knew' the title seemed oddly fitting. If only you knew how much this song fits with my life she thought and wondered if the girls had done it on purpose.
When he looked into Lisbon's office he saw a look of both panic and shock and felt himself bolt upright. He rose quickly and walked as calmly as he could through the bull pen into her office. "What's wrong?" he questioned with a slight note of panic in his voice.
Lisbon heard herself laugh nervously "Nothing for you to get all worked up about Jane it's just a song the girls must have put on my iPod it, well it caught me a little off guard."
He nodded and entered the room more at ease now that he knew that she was alright. "Well, let me listen," he demanded in a tone of voice that reminded her of a kid.
But she handed it over anyway and saw a look that she assumed mirrored the look she had on her face moments ago. When the song ended he handed her iPod back to her and opened and closed his mouth as if he was trying to speak but was unable to. When speech returned to him all that he could say was "Wow!"
"My thoughts exactly."
He looked at his blue eyes seeming to pierce her soul "It's true."
"What's true?"
He stared at her as if he was seeing her for the first time "You're the only one I really believe in anymore," he paused and then corrected himself "well you and the team."
She grabbed his hand and held it tightly between hers when her phone rang; she smiled at him and picked it up "Hello."
"Hello," a nasally voice replied "is this Agent Teresa Lisbon."
"Yes," she replied with concern creeping into her voice.
"This is Principal Reid, I work at…"
Lisbon cut her off "I know where you work," she snapped "will you please just tell me why you're calling," Jane could hear the panic creeping in her voice but was unsure as to why.
Principal Reid cleared her throat and continued "Agent I'm not sure how to tell you this."
"So just spit it out."
"Your daughter, Rebecca…"
"What about her?"
"We… We can't find her."
The phone clattered to the floor out of Lisbon's hand. She couldn't feel anything she was in total shock the only thing anchoring her to this world was Jane holding her hand she thought she could hear his saying "Lisbon, Lisbon what's wrong. Teresa answer me." But she wasn't sure, the only thing she could really hear was the echo of what Principal Reid had said bouncing around in her head we can't find her, we can't find her, we can't find her.
Bum, bum, bum! What's gonna happen, has Becky been kidnapped, does it have to do with a case Lisbon is working? All these questions will be answered in the next update but only if you review!
