Arctic Wonderland

Chapter 10~ Final Chapter

Chapter 10:

Final Chapter

Jane and Lisbon were in the car, the heat turned up until it was almost suffocating. She had her CD playing, bringing some joy into their comfortable silence. Their hands were interwoven together on the hand rest. She smiled as he started to draw circles on the back of her hand. She could feel the electricity coursing through her veins with each stroke of his thumb. She continued to watch the road while he fueled her with electricity. She knew what he was trying to do, and even though she tried to ignore it with all of her might, he was succeeding.

It got to the point where the fire and electricity was at such intensity that she pulled over the side of the road, and turned towards him, planting a kiss on his smirking lips before he said something clever that makes her want to club him on the head with a baseball bat.

He returned the kiss, resting his hand on the back of her neck. He pulled her as close as he could, with the armrest blocking them both. As the kiss delves deeper, he started to unbutton her shirt.

With little help she shrugged off one of the sleeves of her shirt before she began to unbutton his shirt. He parted her shirt (technically his shirt that she was wearing), and watched as she removed her seatbelt, bringing her closer. The moment the seatbelt clasp released with a metallic click, a loud and annoying ding kept resonating through the stuffy car. Frustrated, he lifted the armrest, and removed his seat belt, wrapping his hand around her waist and pulled her closer, their lips meeting once more.

The kiss kept delving deeper and deeper while their hands journeyed through the skin that was revealed. When the heat in their cores increased to a feverish pitch, Jane moved their party to the backseat, while removing them of the rest of their restricting clothing. He hovered over her, starting to trail kisses towards her neck. She moaned softly, her body arching up to meet his touch. He found their rhythm, driving her above and over the edge before he followed.

As they were snuggling, they heard a car pull up behind them. The listened in confusion as the car door slammed closed and the crunching of snow came closer. When they saw an outline of a person in the foggy window walk past their door, they shot up, pulling on extra clothing they stored in a duffel bag and quickly putting them on.

The cop looked around, shining his flashlight into the front seat when Lisbon pulled down the window, closest to the cop.

"Is there a problem officer?" she asked him, her hair tousled and her lips plum and red from their kisses.

The officer looked at her, before glancing at Jane beside her. "You two need any assistance?"

She shook her head, "No. Not really."

"Did your car break down?"

Again she told him, "No."

"Well, you two should continue moving." He told them, annoyed, "If the snow digs your tires in, you'll be stuck in a very cruel and deadly Wonderland of your own." He laughed as he walked away, but before he can completely drive off; he pulled up beside him and said with a laugh, "Call it Arctic Wonderland."

Lisbon hadn't been feeling well for the past couple of weeks. It's been almost two months and the virus she was sure she had was still firmly grasping her. She decided to take a day off of work and go get a checkup.

She sat for half an hour in a crowded, noisy, waiting room. She nearly leaped halfway across the room towards the nurse when she called for her. She followed at her heels as she led her away from the waiting room and into one of the consulting offices. Lisbon sat down in the red plush chair, facing the large ivory desk in the center of the room. She looked around the immaculate office, skimming across posters for information, patient bulletin boards, a bookcase, and picture frames, while she waited for the doctor to arrive.

After a while, a man in his 40s entered, his light brown hair pushed back, emphasized by his white coat. He smiled kindly at her before sitting down at his desk and looking down at her files in his hands.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her with a wink.

She looked down at her hands, suddenly uncomfortable, before she turned back to him and told him, "Nauseous, I throw up multiple times a day, I have to empty my bladder every five minutes, mood swings, and fatigue."

"Hm." He hummed, writing it down, "Can you lie down on the bed and lift up your shirt to under your breast line, please?"

She did as he told her, sighing nervously as she exposed her flat stomach. He applied the cold gel on her stomach and slathered it around with the sonogram machine. In the black and white screen, she saw a small little jellybean sized spot in the center. She held her breath, starting at the spot as he told her, "Congratulations."

Lisbon was sitting nervously, resting against Jane's chest. He was drawing lazy circles on her back, noticing her distance and her nerves, but still not getting her to talk. After what seemed like hours, she turned to him and said in a soft voice, so soft that he almost missed it, "We need to talk."

He turned off the TV, turning towards her in curiosity and concern, "What about?"

"Us. Where this is going. What happened in Alaska."

"Are you having doubts?"

She looked at him, concern, shaking her head and stuttering softly, "No. Are you?"

He was quick to reassure her, "Of course not, never, my love."

She smiled softly at him, "Before I can tell you, I need to get something." She stood and walked into the kitchen, without glancing back at him to see his objections.

He waited, after half an hour, his heart beating rapidly in his chest, before he stood and walked into the kitchen. When he turned on the lights, he was shocked to find the back door wide open and when he looked down at the puddle on the floor, he saw it. He picked it up, carefully, his hands trembling as he took in her name at the top right hand corner, connecting her with the small jellybean on the center. Her name, connecting her to their child in her stomach. However, what made him quake with fear was the bright red permanent Red John smiley circling around the sonogram of their child.
