"He is so adorable," Van Pelt told Lisbon as she and the rest of the old CBI team sat at the dinner table at the cabin.

"Has he started talking?" Rigsby asked as he sliced himself another piece of pie and placed it on his plate.

"No, we are encouraging him though," Lisbon answered before taking a sip of her coffee.

"I didn't talk for the longest time and I turned out fine," Jane said as he came out of the kitchen after cleaning up from the get together dinner. Everyone laughed at him.

"Yeah, you are not and egotistical jackass," Lisbon told him after the laughter died down.

"Careful with what you say, you wouldn't want our son's first word to be one of your favorite cuss words," he pointed out as he took a seat next to her.

"I still can't believe it," Van Pelt spoke aloud as she bounced Nicholas on her knee. He smiled at her as she kept moving him

"What Grace?" Jane asked as he reached for his tea.

"That you guys brought this adorable baby into the world."

"Ah, well you see he really isn't ours. We just stole him," Jane sneered earning him a smack on the arm from Lisbon.

"Play nice!"

"I am surprised you never shot him," Cho stated from his spot at the table. "All those stunts he pulled."

"I just used my charm to change her opinion," Jane retorted as he draped an arm around Lisbon's shoulder.

"I wanted to shoot him several times, especially in the beginning," Lisbon admitted.

"Really?"

"Yes, you were an ass. You thought you knew everything about everyone and everything. It got very annoying," Lisbon began than looked over at him "but then you showed this vulnerable side and I saw someone who was once a great man and could be again given the right amount of time."

"Ten plus years?" Rigsby asked.

"So he took longer than expect," Lisbon shrugged her shoulders as everyone laughed.

"I'm wounded," Jane said as he removed his arm from her shoulder.

"Oh, I think your ego can take it," she said as she patted his leg under table.

"You know what I am wondering?"

"What Grace?" Rigsby asked as he reached for another slice of pie.

"Wayne! Stop eating," Van Pelt ordered.

"But it is so good," Rigsby replied with a mouth full of pie.

"It's okay, Wayne, have as much as you want. Patrick made it actually," Lisbon told them, Rigsby quit chewing and looked at Jane.

"You made it?"

"Yes, with my own two hands. I needed another hobby after I finished the cabin so I decide to start making desserts," Jane told him causally.

"Cho, dude you need to get him back in the field," Rigsby said after he shallowed the bite he took.

"I tried but he too domesticated now," Cho said without missing a beat.

"Wayne, what were you wondering? Lisbon asked as Van Pelt handed Nicholas back to Lisbon. He giggled and started to grab her hair with his small hands

"If the CBI hadn't been closed down do you think you two would still have gotten together?"

"Not sure," Lisbon said quietly. "Somewhere deep down I knew I had feelings for him but I refuse to do anything. I just don't know."

"What about you, Jane?"

"No."

"What?" Lisbon asked shocked.

"We wouldn't be together. Teresa, I love you and have for some time before I took off but if I hadn't disappeared then I would have never had the time to think about what I truly wanted and what I wanted was you."

"So if things had been different then we wouldn't be together?" Lisbon asked annoyed with him.

"No, the point is we don't know what would have happen. Maybe you would have found someone else," he told her as she glared at him. He sighed and leaned closer to her. "I am glad the way things worked out. I wouldn't trade anything for what I have now. I love you and Nicholas."

"See why can't you be like that Wayne?" Grace sobbed.

"Thanks man," Rigsby told Jane sarcastically.

"It never stops," Cho muttered to himself.

"We just need to find someone for you, Cho, and you can join in all the fun," Rigsby told his best friend.

"You set me up?"

"Yeah, I know some very nice woman who would love a man like you."

"I'll pass," Cho declined as he took a sip of his beer.

"Good decision Cho, I mean look at him. Exactly what type of woman could Rigsby pick up?" Jane asked Cho with a smile.

"How do you put up with him?" Van Pelt asked Lisbon while she sent a drop dead look sent in Jane's direction.

"I have my ways."

"I don't want to hear this," Cho stated to her.

"And when that doesn't work then there is always handcuffs," Lisbon directed her reply at Cho who shook his head.

"It never ends," Cho muttered and the group smiled, soon they fell into a comfortable silence as they watched Jane make faces at Nicholas who just stared at his father in wonder.

"We need to do this much more often," Van Pelt told everyone as she leaned against Rigsby.

"We should, it is nice," Lisbon said in agreement.

"I still can't believe you built this place, Jane," Rigsby told him as he looked around the cabin.

"Well, technically it was already built I just did repairs on it and made it more home friendly," Jane replied as he leaned down and kiseds his son and then took him so he could hold him on his lap. "I wanted to do it all by myself but this little bundle of joy changed those plans."

"You are not sorry about that," Lisbon told him softly as she watch with pride as Jane held his son.

"Not for a second."

"You know since everyone is here," Van Pelt spoke up and smiled and looked at Rigsby. "Wayne and I have some news."

"You're pregnant," Jane blurted out.

"You know that is really annoying," Rigsby laughed as he nodded. "But as always you are correct."

"Congratulations you guys," Lisbon told them as she stood to hug Van Pelt and then Rigsby. Jane nodded in approval to both them while Cho gave each of them a hug.

"How did you?"

"You didn't drink at dinner and you have this glow about you," Jane told Van Pelt with a smile. "It was obviously."

"But you never knew Lisbon was pregnant?" Rigsby questioned.

"She has gotten good at hiding things from me," Jane admitted truthfully.

"Are you guys thinking about having another one?" Rigsby asked Jane.

"Maybe, maybe not."

"What he means is if it happens then it happens but I have enough trouble with two Jane's in the world that a third would just be asking for trouble," Lisbon stated to Rigsby with a smile.

"You are just still holding a grudge about the crossbow."

"What?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Nicholas managed to somehow buy a crossbow and a kayak," Lisbon told them.

"He didn't!" Grace said in shock.

"He did but, Teresa, forced me to return the kayak," he tilted his head towards his son. "I think Nicholas would have enjoyed riding in one of those when he got older."

"I said you could keep it as long as I kept the crossbow," she reminded him.

"Meh," he retorted as Nicholas babbled some nonsense. "We have enough weapons in the safe as it is."

"It's getting late," Cho told the group as he looked at his watch. "Unlike some people here I do have a job to go to in the morning."

"Comes with being the boss," Lisbon smiled at him as each member of the group rose to their feet.

"I think this little one is in agreement," Jane said as Nicholas watched all of them with curiosity. The group walked to the door and started to bid their farewells.

"So lunch tomorrow?" Rigsby asked them. "You know before Grace and I have to catch our flight?"

"I think we can swing it. We have some errands to run in town so why not we all meet up at that barbeque place we like?" Jane suggested as Nicholas reached for the lapels on his vest.

"Sounds good to me," Van Pelt told him as she bent down to Nicholas eye level. "You are going to be a looker when you grow up."

"Meh," Nicholas muttered softly. Everyone looked down at Nicholas.

"What did you say?" Jane asked his son with shock.

"Meh," Nicholas repeated. Jane smiled and pulled him close to his chest. "My boy you just said your first word."

"I can't believe it!" Lisbon exclaimed as she placed a hand on Nicholas back and leaned up to kiss Jane. "He said his first word!"

"Good luck trying to shut him up now," Rigsby told them with a smirk. "Once they started talking they don't stop."

"Doesn't anyone else find it concerning that that kid's first word was 'meh'?" Cho asked the group. Everyone looked down again at Nicholas who was staring at them wide-eyed.

"He is definitely a Jane," Rigsby said as he started to laugh.

"God, help me!" Lisbon shook her head and joined in the laughter as Nicholas once again utter the word "meh."
