*A/N: Hello there all! Kara and Hotch have missed you! LOL. What if a case came up, one so dangerous, so complicated, so fraught with complexities that the only way the BAU team could solve it was to bring back the dead? Here's a Part Two to "Agent Kara Morgan": Hotch and Kara Resurrected.

Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, though I wish with every fiber of my being that I did.

"They are not going to like this one bit," JJ murmured as she sat in the front seat of the black SUV.

"I know they're not," Derek agreed, "But we need them on this. They've consulted for us before; this is just like that…"

Rolling her eyes, Prentiss grunted, "Except this time we're asking them to come out of hiding, to come back from the dead."

"We're asking them to risk their lives again," Rossi stated, his voice tinged with guilt.

"They'll have no problem with that once they hear the case," Derek argued.

"Laura Jean just had another baby," Penelope whispered.

"I know, but it's been six months since baby Veronica was born. She came back to work sooner than that when she had the Trips," Derek reminded the team.

"That was when she actually worked for the Bureau, she and Bobby Ray are, for all intents and purposes…dead to the rest of the world," Reid pointed out.

Derek sighed, "Look guys we all talked about this and we agreed remembered? And can we please dispense with their new identities when it's just us? It's Hotch and Kara."

The SUV filled with silence then and a bit of tension as the vehicle finally came to a stop in front of the largely expansive house. They'd all come back to this house, either together or separate to visit with their friends and former coworkers, seeking respite, a vacation, advice, comfort or even consultation. This time was different. This time they were coming to pull the former special agents out of hiding and back into the land of criminals, serial killers, serial rapists, sociopaths, narcissists and psychos. They could only hope that Laura Jean and Bobby Ray formerly Kara and Aaron a.k.a. "Hotch" didn't resent them for their intrusion.

Laura Jean sighed as she looked down at the picture of her and her cousin Derek on the day of her graduation from the Police Academy. She looked up when her husband, Bobby Ray, walked into the room holding their youngest, Veronica, in his arms. His former dark locks were now blonde and she always giggled a little inside when she looked at him.

"Someone was looking for her mommy," he said with a smile, handing Veronica to her and taking the picture from her hand.

"Hey there Pumpkin," Laura smiled down at her daughter, rubbing her tummy and eliciting a giggle from her.

"Missing Derek?" Bobby asked.

"Oh Aaron," Laura said, slipping back into his former name, "I miss them all so much. I sort of feel as if our actions were hasty. It's been three years. We've had two more kids and life is great, but don't you miss it sometimes? Don't you long for the Bureau again?"

Hotch sighed, "Everyday, but it's nothing compared to the peace and the happiness that I feel being with you and the kids. Working the land, having more time to spend with the kids and you and not having to look over my shoulder. Yes I miss the thrill of the chase and the thrill of using behavioral analysis to catch criminals, but what we did…it was worth it."

Kara nodded, "I just miss being me. Laura Jean was great, is great, but there are days, like today, when I just miss being Kara Ann Morgan-Hotchner."

Hotch smiled, "I do miss being called Hotch." Running agitated fingers through his hair, he grimaced, "And I miss my hair."

Kara laughed aloud in delight, "I miss your hair too," she admitted. Her smile widened when Hotch walked towards her and leaning down kissed her deeply. Her husband was truly amazing, understanding and compassionate and she loved him fiercely, she knew that the feeling was mutual and reveled in the passion that they shared even after years of marriage. Feeling his hand on her bare thigh, she sighed and giggled before pulling back. At his questioning look she swiftly kissed him again before looking down at Veronica who lay in her arms. She heard him chuckle seconds before he sat next to her on the bed.

"I forgot that you were still holding her. You just looked so delicious that I had to get me a taste," Hotch admitted. Kara laughed at Hotch's reference to her being his own personal brand of heroin and opened her mouth to reply when they were alerted to someone driving onto the property.

"Were you expecting someone?" Hotch asked. Kara shook her head no and quickly stood to place Veronica in her crib. Walking over to the intercom she called all of the children into the room and after making sure that all of them were inside with Jack, a.k.a. "Franklin Joe" watching over them, Kara locked the doors, and set the alarm on their safety room/bedroom. Grabbing their guns from where they'd been placed the two of them crept towards the door and peered out. Seeing the familiar black SUV, Kara gave a shout of joy and surprise and raced out the door as Hotch returned to their bedroom to let their children out. He was so glad that the team had shown up, Kara definitely needed her spirits lifted and after the conversation that they'd had that day, he was in need of some BAU time. He was even thinking about letting Penelope hug him.

Kara hugged Derek tightly and swallowed against the tears that rose in her throat. Looking at the faces of the people that were so precious to her, she realized that they hadn't come on a pleasure trip. They were all there for a reason. Turning back to Derek she observed his agitated movements and knew that something was wrong.

"What's wrong Derek? Why are you guys here?" she asked just as Hotch walked into the room.

"We have a serious case. It's difficult, complicated and involving terrorists and corrupt politicians…we think. We have pored over the notes, stared at the pictures of the crime scene. Nothing. Not one thing. The seven murders have been sporadically placed and committed, but still obviously connected. We need your help," Derek stated.

Kara nodded. "Well, give us the case files and we'll go over them," she stated, looking at Hotch who nodded his head.

"It's a lot more complicated and more dangerous than we might have expressed," Rossi said sheepishly.

"David. What's the problem?" Hotch asked.

Sighing, Derek decided to tell them everything. "We've come to take you back to Quantico. To the BAU. We've come to resurrect you."

*I know it was short, but man! I'm still excited to be writing Kara and Hotch's story! Hope you enjoy it as well. Please review!!*
