A quick month and a half passed and Lisbon sat staring at her massive bump she was carrying. Her fingers brushed against it every few seconds as she whispered sweet words to her soon-to-be-born little girl. Rigsby, Cho, Grace and Jane were down in the new nursery, adding the last few accessories to make it `fit for a princess` as Jane liked to out it. She glanced about the place; she truly loved what they had done to the place. It had a nice homey feel to it, yet it wasn`t overly cosy, a touch of modern here and there. She rested her hand on the armrest and pushed herself up, groaning from the weight that was held up by her feet. She felt like sitting down again, but guessed a bit of exercise might do her good, In her bare feet, she waddled down to the nursery, each footstep taking as long as the last as she put her hand to her back to support it and the other on her bump. She stood at the door, watching her team decorate the small nursery. Rigsby was up on the stepladder, putting a decorative lampshade around the bulb that hung from the roof, Grace was perfecting the baby cot and hung the mobile above it, complete with fairies and stars while Jane lay the rug down on the floor; fixed the locks on the window to prevent it being opened from the outside. Inside, it was pretty much just a safety lock. He turned, noticing Lisbon`s presence and beamed quickly approaching her.
"So what do you think? I`m not sure about the lampshade but-"
She rested a hand to his cheek and smiled. "It`s beautiful Patrick, It`s perfect"
He grinned, looking back at the room. She was right; He could just imagine their little girl snuggling happily in her plush cot or Lisbon sitting on the chair below the window, happily feeding Hayley. He turned to see Lisbon gaping at him and he arched a brow, resting his two hands on her shoulders.
"Teresa?"
"I need you to bring me to the hospital"
"You do? Why?"
"My water Just broke"
After a long nine hours, Jane`s hand was killing him. He swore it was becoming numb but he would only know when she actually did let go of it. He looked over at his girlfriend, beads of sweat remained to her forehead and brows while her breathing was heavy and fast paced. Her fringe stuck to her forehead and he winced, as he watched the doctors lips move once again and looked back to Lisbon with wide eyes.
She screamed at the top of her voice, her hand almost crushing Jane`s until he felt tears rolling down his cheeks; and he began to sniff. Of course the nurses found this very cute, thinking he was a very caring man. They didn`t know the half of it. He was sure he was going to be leaving here with a cast around his hand. She fell back to lean against the pillows and gazed at him with gleaming eyes.
"This...is...all...your...fault!" she breathed, gasping for air and she gripped onto his hand, her eyes teary behind the strands of black hair.
"My fault?"
"Yes...you"
"I think you`ve broken my hand Teresa, it hurts"
"At least you`re not in as much pain as I-Ahhhhhhh" she screamed as the doctor instructed her to push for the last time and she held such a tight force to his hand that he heard a snapping noise and began to scream too.
"Ow!" he moaned and she continued screaming; now grabbing onto his other arm which made things worse.
"You're doing great Teresa" he tried to encourage as he hoped she wouldn`t break his other arm now and she tried to smile but couldn`t. "I HATE YOU!" she yelled, though cries and pleads for it to stop until she finally heard the cries of her little girl and collapsed into the pillows, shutting her eyes for a brief moment. He stood up and pressed his lips to her forehead, placing butterfly kisses down her forehead and past her temple. She opened her eyes and smiled at him, as the doctor came over with a bundle of pink. He helped her prop up against the pillows and smiled as he saw his little girl, so small and beautiful.
"Congratulations, It`s a beautiful little girl" she handed her down to Teresa who, slightly pushed away the blanket near the front of her face.
"She`s so small and beautiful" she gasped, through tears looking up at Jane who too was shocked, but instantly forgot about his hand.
"She is"
"Have you decided on a name for her?" questioned the nurse and they both beamed, looking at each other an turned to look at the nurse.
"Hayley-"
"Hayley Jane" Jane finished and the nurse smiled at them, leaving them alone until Lisbon looked up at him, tears pricking her eyes.
"Jane?"
"I love you and Hayley so much Teresa, I want us to be a proper family. I love you so, so much" she smiled and she wiped a tear away; and he bent down to kiss her and his little girl.
~Cause it`s you and me and all of the people but I don`t know why, I can`t keep my eyes of you- Lifehouse "You and Me"...~
