Merry Christmas Patrick Jane

There's Been a Murder

Author's Notes: Okay so here's the next chapter. When this chapter is over you will know the crossover. First off this story is meant to be funny but also serious, so when you think of the crossover don't think of it as you normally see them because if you do it will be ridiculous. LOL truth be told as of right now I can only think of them as they normally are so you know my brain must be crazy. Okay I got to get back to the story because it's funny just thinking about it. Remember there's a dream world so everything happening in the dream world will be in italics.

Chapter 2: There's Been a Murder

"Lisbon." He groaned.

Teresa Lisbon couldn't help but smile when she heard that groan of a word. Of course she could tell that he was in a lot of pain, and he was still semi unconscious when he said it, but the point was he had said it. It had been a long night but Patrick Jane was alive and things were looking up.

"How's he doing doctor?" she asked.

"Patrick is very lucky. We don't know for sure how long he stayed out there in the rain which is too bad. The head injury wasn't as severe as we thought. Once we got inside and could really see, he is indeed very lucky." He told her as he made notes in the chart.

"I love that you are being optimistic, but I can't help but feel that there's a silent but in there."

"Mr. Jane has a severe concussion. When he wakes up he will probably be dizzy and a little disoriented. Then there's the broken leg, it's a clean break but it's going to hurt and with the concussion he's not going to be a happy camper, but that's not my deepest concern right now."

"What is?" she asked as she went to wipe his brow. She was taken back when she realized just how hot he was.

"I see that you've already answered your question. He's got a very bad case of pneumonia. The exposure of being out there in the air has done a real number on his lungs. It's bilateral, which means that it's in both lungs, but he's doing pretty good. His breathing is pretty clean so right now we don't have a need to intubate him."

"Intubate!" she shouted in horror.

"Yes ma'am. If his temperature were to get a little higher and we find that he's in distress it might be best to put a breathing tube in."

"Oh Jane." She soothed him taking his clammy hand in hers.

"I know that I was supposed to leave last night. It is against all rules on the planet for me to be here. I don't know if you know about Patrick's background, but he doesn't have any family and I don't know what my friend Kimball said to the staff last night but I was allowed to stay with him. I don't think it's written down anywhere but he's….I mean he's…"

"No need to explain anything Ms. Lisbon. I heard about your friend the fellow agent last night threaten some staff members when they wanted you to leave the recovery area. There was no need of that, we read Mr. Jane's chart and he has named you his medical proxy. As of now you are the only one who can see him. You can stay as long you want." He told her cutting off a rant he was sure was about to be very long, demanding, and maybe a little threatening.

"Oh." She replied as she took her perch back beside the man she loved.

"He's resting comfortably, and he probably will be doing that for a while. The best thing I can say for you to do for yourself is to go and get some food and get some sleep I know that you're not going to go with my suggestion, so talk to him. Let him know that you're here. I'll be back later to check in on him."

Lisbon watched the doctor leave and then her focus went back to her boyfriend lying there. Her boyfriend. Patrick Jane was her boyfriend and no one knew. She knew that they all had their speculations, but no one would say anything if it wasn't confirmed by either one of them. She had been so selfish. Why didn't she let him? She sighed looking up at the TV. She couldn't help but laugh, that same Christmas classic from last night was on again. She so was looking forward to watching it with Jane. She couldn't believe it was his favorite, and he was missing it.
