Save me

Part 4

A week after her release from the hospital Lisbon has made a lots of steps towards her healing. She talked sometimes, laughed, smiled but the most important she was eating normal. Her eyes were still filled with fears about losing him and she couldn't sleep alone. Jane wasn't complaining about it. He liked to cuddle with her and held her.

Her brothers apologized to them about their behavior on the hospital and Lisbon forgave them. Jane had mixed feelings about it but he chose to ignore them about Lisbon. The important was she was happy and she was responding to him.

Lisbon still needed him but the truth was he needed her too. He needed her to be close , to take care of her. He was feeling guilty about her statement. It was painful for him to know he caused it. He loved her more than everything. She was the light into his darkness. And he needed so much the light... the hope. And only Lisbon could give it and so generously.

"Don't do that. Please." Jane begged her one morning.

"Don't do what?" she asked confused.

"You built walls around us. you are keeping me out."Jane added with tears in his eyes. He didn't blame her. He left her alone putting his pain before her. He knew he hurt her worse than he had hurt her before. She had let her walls down for him and loved him and he still hurt her. She had trusted him with her hurt and he just crashed it with his own hands.

"I don't..." Lisbon began avoiding his eyes but Jane stopped her.

"Yes , you do. I know I made you sad and I wish I could deserve you but I had no intention to do it again. You are my world Lisbon. I know I ran away to many times but I always wanted to come back home. You are my home." Jane said and he really tried to keep his tears.

"Don't blame yourself Jane. " Lisbon whispered looking at her hands.

"Sometimes I think it would be better for you if I hadn't run into your life. Or if I had stayed in Mexico or if I had left you move on to DC with Pike." Jane admitted.

"No, you can't say it. It was my decision to let you in. You gave me so much Jane..." Lisbon said moving closer and locked their eyes.

"And I took so much from you too. I destroyed your career , your reputation. You would be happier without me." Jane murmured trying to be strong.

"You are the best thing that ever happened to me. " Lisbon replied and looked into his eyes. They were so vulnerable, so sad. She gave him a loving gaze and she couldn't hold the tears back now. "Before you, I was nothing. Yes, I had the team and my job but I didn't have anything to look forward to it. I was so bored with my life. No personal life, no friends. I was feeling like a robot. And then you came and with your crazy scenes and you woke me up Jane. You made me see there was a whole world outside. And after a long time I didn't feel empty. I felt alive. And it was because of you Jane."

"I feel the same about you Lisbon. I was a rag when I met you. You were so supportive and kind with me. I felt human again. You gave me strength to live, to fight. " Jane said and took her face in his hands. "You will always have me Lisbon. I have lost people I loved before. And I'm not going to lose you too. I'm tired of being alone. I want to be happy. You made me happy Lisbon." he continued and kissed her cheeks.

"I am just afraid Jane." Lisbon whispered with a sigh.

"Of what my love?" Jane asked softly.

"I'm afraid something will happen and you will leave again. And I don't think I will bear it again." Lisbon murmured before she began to cry.

"Nothing will separate us again Teresa. I won't allow it. " he replied and he took her in his arms.

He ran his fingers through her hair and he pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. He kissed her cheeks and her tears and slowly he pressed his lips to hers. Lisbon responded to his kiss making it hungrier and passionate.

They made love that day connecting their bodies and souls into one.

They spend their nights watching television on the bed. Sometimes Jane pressed his face into her soft skin of her stomach, speaking to the baby. He pressed kissed on her belly and Lisbon let out series of laughs.

"Stop it." she said breathless.

"You are ticklish." Jane replied delighted with a grin. His hands reached for her stomach, tracing lightly against her while she burst into laughter.

Jane stopped after a while and Lisbon tried to catch her breath.

"No tickling." she ground out and Jane chuckled. "I am serious Jane." she continued and Jane raised his hands with an innocent gaze.

"I hate you." she growled

"No, you don't." Jane replied grinning as he wrapped his arms around her and leaned in to kiss her.

Lisbon pulled back for breath and hit him in his chest.

"ouch." Jane cried out but she hadn't really hurt him. "What was it for?"

"For tickling me." she replied seriously. "Now move your ass and go to make yourself useful and bring me food. I'm hungry" she added with a sassy attitude and a bossy voice.

Jane looked at her carefully before he moved to granted her wish. This was his Lisbon. This was the woman he fell in love. . She was back!!!

So Lisbon is back! I know what you think now... but we are not close to the end. Our couple will separate again. More to come. Hope to see you in the next chapter. Until then please let a review with your thoughts.
