A/N Because this is set in my own universe I am just going to go through some basics first if you don't know my characters and things.
Roxanne: In the unit, age 27 at this point in the fic. Has a husband (Tyler) A daughter who's 9 months old at this point in the fic (Lottie) And a 15 year old adopted daughter at this pint in the fic she is 15. (Dana.)
Roxannes friendship with Blake is mainly because Dana and my other OC Clara, who is Blakes daughter are best friends. I figured becaue Blake seems quite smart Clara could easily have been moved up a couple of years.
For guidance this is set in 2013, so will probably feature some events in season 9 at points however I will not follow it all as partially this is my own universe and yes. I support Garcia/Kevin aswell so I'm warning you of that now.
The day had been going very slowly for the BAU, no cases. It was almost lunch and the day seemed to be taking an eternity, even Spencer Reid seemed distracted. The air conditioning was out and it was in incredibly hot day being the middle of June; this only added to how slow this day was.
"BAU team we have a case, we'll brief on the Jet. Wheels up in 30." Hotch told them while he was running down the stairs, there were a sense of urgency in his voice. Finally something other than sitting in that stuffy office. It was a relief to the agents,the Jet had working air conditioning. "Garcia your coming with us." He told her, noticing she was standing by Reids desk.
"Ok, sir." Garcia replied.
After everyone took their seats on the Jet Hotch outlined the case to them. "Eastern California has seen a series of missing teens resulting in death. Yesterday 7 bodies , matching those who had gone missing were recovered, about an hour ago another teenage girl was reported missing. Ashley Daniels."
"Mara Porter, Haley Walker, Eleanor Sumner, Tabitha Dean, Layla Ashlington, Georgia Robinson and Abbigail Maslen. All aged between 15 and 17 Rossi added while looking at his tablet.
"The girls are all Caucasian: brown hair, brown eyes. Middle class. Maybe their a surrogate." Blake suggested, noticing the striking similarities between each victim.
"In which case were looking at someone who lost someone between the ages of 15-17." Roxanne added.
For the rest of the duration the agents talked about the case and came up with possible ideas of why this was happening and who they could be looking for.
"When we arrive Roxanne, Blake can you interview Ashley's friends. JJ, Reid can you interview her parents. Garcia look at internet history and social networking for our most recent victim." Hotch ordered, telling them what to be doing, it would be around 6pm when they arrived so figured it would be best to wait until morning to talk to the other 7 families.
It was about a 30 minute drive to the field office and the SUV's were stiflingly hot upon entrance having been sat out in the sun. Turning on the car air conditioning Roxanne sighed heavily, it was always awful when teenagers went missing and by the looks of things it seemed they were being held for 6 months.
"Are you ok?" Blake asked.
"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" She replied back with a question.
"Well you just sighed.." Blake replied.
"Oh, It's just this case... 7 girls. If we lived here Dana could quite easily have been a victim and I don't know what I'd do without her. I can't imagine how these families must feel." She explained.
"Yes... same with Clara, she's a couple of years younger but god forbid if anything ever happens to her." Blake replied.
Arriving on at the field office, Hotch introduced all the agents before they were all lead into a room which would be their main base until the case was solved. Garcia got out her laptop before sitting down and started setting it up to work at this field office in order to be able to get the work she needed done to help. Roxanne and Blake went into a small interview room with two of Ashley's friends. Alyssia and Katherine, they were the ones who saw her last, before she went missing. Reid and JJ went into another room, similar to the one Blake and Roxanne were in. They interviewed Ashley's parents; to find out as much as they could about her.
Collating back as a group it seemed Ashley was your average teenager. She was sociable, into music, on the softball team at school. Worked hard. Her tumblr blog posts were always positive and colorful. Looking at her internet history it was possible the UnSub could have met her via facebook. She had over 1,000 friends; it was unlikely she really knew all of them.
It was quite late by the time they had this information on their most recant victim complied, the team made there way to the hotel to get some rest and be ready to check for patterns in victims the next morning. This case looked to be quite easy to solve, especially if the UnSub was meeting the victims on facebook.
Due to there not being enough rooms in the hotel the agents had to share. As BAU agents were not meant to stay with those of the opposite sex when on cases; Rossi shared a room with Hotch, Morgan with Reid, JJ with Garcia and Roxanne with Blake.
"You know what, I never really check Clara's friends on facebook." Blake mentioned as she was getting ready for bed.
"Because you can trust her to be sensible... I don't check Dana's." Roxanne replied, only overly protective parents actually checked their Children's Facebook friends over a long period of time. And even then teenagers will always make accounts to avoid their parents if they are doing something that they don't want them to see and you can always block your parents from seeing all your status'.
"It does seem those with the most protective parents seem to get in the most trouble though." Blake replied, she also knew teenagers would always try and defy there parents if there conditions to using the internet seemed unreasonable.
"That is often the case." Roxanne replied, having to sit down.
"Are you sure your ok?" Blake asked her. "You look to be in pain."
"Yeah. Ugh no... I think I'm miscarrying." She replied, a tone of sadness in her voice.
Blake went over and sat by Roxanne hugging her. "I didn't even know... When do you think it died?"
" In the last two weeks, I had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and it was perfectly healthy." Roxanne told Alex. "You don't by any chance have any sanitary towels on you do you?"
"No but I can go and buy you some." Blake replied. "This isn't your first miscarriage is it..."
"No. I had one a few years ago." Roxanne replied, not really sure what to be feeling. "And thanks."
"No Worries, I won't be long." Alex replied before getting up to go and get things for Roxanne.
Walking into the shop she picked up a couple of packs of the highest absorbency sanitary towels and some ibuprofen; to help Roxanne with the pain. She was quite relived that she didn't run into one of her team members as she was not sure what to say to them if she did.
Going back into the hotel room Roxanne was laying down curled up on her side. "It hurts doesn't it." Blake said upon entering.
"Like hell." Roxanne replied forcing herself to sit up.
"Here, take a couple of these." Blake told her, giving her the Ibruprofen also passing her the sanitary towels.
"Thankyou Alex, seriously. Thankyou." Roxanne replied before going into the bathroom to sort herself out then coming back out and pouring a glass of water to take the pills with before laying back down on the bed.
"It's ok. If you need anything, at all. I'm here." Blake replied, pausing."What should I tell the team tomorrow?" She asked.
"Just say I'm ill... I'll tell Hotch when we get back. I guess he needs to know that maternity cover won't be needed." Roxanne replied sighing and closed her eyes, hoping to get some sleep before she went through the worst of it.
Waking up at the sound of the Alarm at 6am the next morning,Blake noticed Roxanne wasn't in bed and was probably in the bathroom. Laying in bed for a few more minutes she decided to wait for her to come out. "Have you been up all night?" She asked as Roxanne went and flopped herself back down on the bed exhaustedely.
"Since about 1am." She replied tiredly.
Blake looked at her for a minute and sighed, she didn't look well. "Call one of us if you think you need to go to the hospital." She told Roxanne before going to get herself ready for work.
Meeting up with the rest of the team in the hotel lobby she told Hotch Roxanne was ill and wouldn't be he seemed to buy it and didn't question any further. From the hotel Lobby Blake went with Reid to the dumpsite, JJ with Rossi to talk to some of the other Families. Morgan and Hotch spoke to the families of the 6th and 7th victim they were in the field office. Garcia continues looking at the social networking side of things.
The team weren't shocked to find that all of the girls had a friend in common with each other however Garcia suspected that this Dan Hoskins was a fake profile meaning it would take a bit longer to track him down. Coming back from the dumpsite Blake and Reid figured he must be physically fit as there were no tyre tracks and the site was quite a distance away from any road. They thought he lived near the area as it was an open, and desolate place. Perfect for holding a teenage girl captive without suspicion.
"I could find an approximate location through IP address." Garcia suggested.
"Get on it baby girl, we could then cross reference with the profile." Morgan replied sitting by her.
"Andrew Woodfield." Garcia finally came up with. Due to it being such a desolate area after tracking down the IP it was not hard to find the UnSub.
Pulling up the SUV's Andrew owned a huge amount of land. It could take time to find him and the girl. Splitting up into 3 groups of two they each took part of the property. Looking around at first it all seemed clear but then Morgan noticed it. A trap door.
Opening the Trap door Blake went down first, Morgan following. They found a whole underground tunnel system down here, this had to be where Ashley was. "Morgan listen." Blake said, hearing what sounded like a girl screaming.
"Following the sound they found the girl, Blake managed to get her free and outside, the UnSub had bolted off upon seeing Morgan. Tripping over, Morgan caught up with him quite quickly, Rossi and Hotch also quick to. "Your under arrest for abduction, rape and murder." Morgan said with a strong tone to his voice while handcuffing him.
Heading back to the hotel, Hotch wanted them all to meet at 6 so they could be at the airstrip for 6:30. Blake entered the hotel room and was happy to see Roxanne looked better.
" We caught him." Blake told her. "Oh and Hotch wants us all in the lobby at 6pm."
"Good... that you caught him." Roxanne replied sounding quite tired.
"How are you?" Blake asked, sitting by her.
"I've been better, but the worst of it is over now." She replied, before looking at the time and getting up to shower and dress so she looked at least half presentable.
"That's good. You know they won't judge you if your not dressed." Blake told her.
"I know they won't judge me, I just would rather be dressed and look half presentable." She replied.
Down in the Lobby Garcia hugged Roxanne. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Not great, but better." She replied. "God it's good to be out of that hotel room." She continued.
JJ and Morgan laughed, they both knew Roxanne couldn't stay cooped up for long, it drove her stir crazy.
"Feeling any better?" Hotch asked her coming into the lobby with Rossi. Both noticed how tired and pale she looked.
"Yes. Thankyou Hotch. I'm feeling a little better." She replied.
On the Jet Roxanne took the sofa and layed down on her side, curling up and fell into a deep sleep.
"I don't think she's ever slept on the Jet." Blake said.
"She did once, although she wasn't fully asleep like she is now." Reid added, looking at Roxanne. It was unusual to see her sleeping on the Jet. Reid knew she could never get to sleep on the Jet normally.
"Who's gonna wake sleeping beauty up?" Morgan asked as the Jet landed.
"Well seeing as you mentioned it." JJ said pausing. "You can wake her up."
"No... She'll kill me." Morgan replied, he knew from past experience waking Roxanne up was never a good idea.
"Your scared of her?" Reid asked.
"She's moody when she gets woken up, trust me. I know."
"And your scared of her being a little moody?" Rossi asked.
"Yes! Pretty boy, wake up Roxy." He told Reid, wanting to show the rest of the team.
"Roxanne..." Reid said sitting by her. "Wake up..." He said, sounding gentle hoping a gentle approach would make her less moody than Derek said she would be.
"Go away." She grumbled before drifting back off to sleep.
"See Reid. She doesn't even give you a chance, you just get, and I quote: Go away." Morgan said mimicking her.
"Roxy. Come on." Reid tried again, thinking about the best ways to wake someone up and keep them in a good mood. He decided to apply gentle and steady pressure over the tragus of the ear, a method used by nurses and previously used by North American Indians. "The Jets landed." He told her after she'd woken fully.
"Morgan I don't know what's so scary about that. Roxanne seems perfectly calm to me." Hotch observed having been listening to the conversation.
"Wait. Morgan. You were scared of waking me up?" Roxanne asked laughing a little.
Morgan didn't respond, he thought about denying it to her but everyone else had heard him say he was scared.
When Roxanne arrived home it was late, the doors were all locked and only the bedroom lights on. Going up to her and Tylers room she dumped down her stuff and quickly got ready for bed, ignoring his glance not feeling ready to talk about what had happened. Getting into bed she snuggled into him as it provided her with the comfort she needed.
"What's wrong?" Tyler asked, knowing she only did this when she needed some sort of comfort.
"I'm just tired." She replied, trying to hold back her tears.
Tyler noticed her tears and sighed. "Roxanne, baby. I've known you long enough to know that your not just tired. What's up?" He asked again, gently - hugging her tight.
"I lost the baby." She said through tears.
"Oh Roxy." Tyler replied sadly, not just because he was upset but because it hurt him to see her so upset. He hugged her some more and let her stay snuggled up to him for the rest of the night, gently rubbing his hand down her back as it often relaxed her.
A/N 2: So Roxannes Miscarriage will probably be used in some way as far as the other characters are concerned as a gateway type thing. The next Chapter moves away from Roxanne a little and there is a direct opposite to the loss of this baby.
