Chapter 13
*next morning*
Cat POV
Cat: mmm *waking up*
Derek: good morning *kisses her forehead*
Cat: how long have you been up?
Derek: not long…maybe five minutes
Cat: *wiping eyes* what time is it?
Derek: 7 AM…are you ok?
Cat: yea *stretching*
Derek: so who was better?
Cat: what?
Derek: who was better…me or Trent?
Cat: *glaring at him* really Derek
Derek: *laughs* I'm kidding *leans in and kissing her*
Cat: mmhhmmm *heads to bathroom* by the way *turning around* the answer to your question is Trent hands down
Derek: the fuck *glaring at her*
Cat: GOTCHA! *starts laughing*
Derek: woman *follows her to the bathroom* you know how to push my buttons *hugs her*
Cat: *smiling at him* I know *turns and looks in the mirror*
Derek: damn you're beautiful *looking at her in the mirror*
Cat: *looking at him in the mirror and smiles* thank you *continues to look at herself* what the hell?
Derek: what?
Cat: my neck looks like a war zone *examining all of her Derek marks*
Derek: mine does too *looks at his own neck* how the hell did you make a perfect circle *looking at one hickey in particular*
Cat: *laughs* I don't know
Derek: how the hell am I going to cover this up?
Cat: the same way I am *turns on the shower*
Derek: I'm pretty sure these aren't going to wash off
Cat: duh…but I do need a shower and so do you *climbs in the shower*
*30 minutes later after some shower sex and an actual shower*
Cat: *drying off* great…now I'm pretty sure I have some more battle wounds
Derek: yea *stepping out* me too
Cat: put that thing up *hands him a towel* he's the one that started this
Derek: you know you like it *shakes his hips*
Cat: whatever *heads to the closet*
Derek: you still haven't told me how you plan to cover up all these hickies
Cat: make-up…duh
Derek: hell no…I am not putting on make up
Cat: so you're going to go to work for the rest of week looking like you got punched in the neck?
Derek: fine…but only on my neck
Cat: that's the only place where they're visible
Derek: good
*hour later*
Cat: morning everyone
JJ: you seem happy
Cat: yes…those personal days were needed
Emily: mmhhmmm
Cat: what? *smiling*
Derek: good morning everyone *walking in*
Garcia: I'll show you a good morning *walking in*
Hotch: round table room now
*in RTR*
Hotch: I'm going to let Trent tell you what's going on
Trent: my old unit called this morning… a few days ago they got a call about two bodies being found in separate blocks of ice
JJ: what makes it so unique besides the ice?
Trent: they were dressed up as cavemen…then this morning another body was discovered…this time the body was wrapped up like a mummy
Emily: sounds like a costume party gone wrong
Ross: but Halloween was months ago
Hotch: exactly…wheels up in 30
*everyone heads out to get their go bags except Cat and Trent*
Cat: are you ok? *noticing his sadness*
Trent: no…I grew up with one of the victims
Cat: oh wow *walks over and hugs him* I'm so sorry
Derek: *coming back in the room* hey, we're about to head out soon
Trent: whatever *walks out*
Cat: ooook *walks out*
Derek: what the hell was that about?
Cat: what are you talking about?
Derek: you and him hugging
Cat: it was nothing
Derek: didn't seem like it
Cat: Derek *grabs his hand* relax alright…it was nothing
Derek: alright
*at DPD*
Hotch: alright Cat, you and JJ go to the morgue…Trent, take Emily and Dave down to this morning's crime scene…Reid, Derek and I will deal with the families
Team: got it
*later that night at the hotel*
Trent: *texting Cat* come to my room
Cat: why
Trent: we need to talk
Cat: fine…latch the door
*five minutes later*
Cat: hey
Trent: *laying in his bed* hey
Cat: *takes a seat in the chair* what's up
Trent: so you can't sit on the bed?
Cat: ugh *moves to the edge of the bed* alright…what's wrong
Trent: you and Derek
Cat: really….you really asked me to come in here and talk about Derek?
Trent: that and other things
Cat: then how about you focus on those other things
Trent: alright *moves toward her and tries to get a kiss*
Cat: oh hell no *gets up* what the hell is your problem?
Trent: I don't know
Cat: why the hell did you want me to come in here?
Trent: …..how did you do it?
Cat: do what?
Trent: handle a case in your hometown
Cat: I don't know…I guess the fact that it was my old neighborhood fueled a fire in me…and that made me want to solve that case even more
Trent: it didn't bother you that one of the brothers lived up the street from your moms?
Cat: of course it did…but at the end of the day we got them…what's this really about?
Trent: I don't know if I can do this
Cat: what do you mean?
Trent: I had to go to a crime scene where one of my childhood friends' body was found
Cat: I can't imagine how that felt….but you shouldn't let that get you down. Instead you should take that emotion and put it towards the case
Trent: yea
Cat: look, I gotta go…I'll see you in the morning
Trent: alright…thanks
Cat: *standing at the door* no problem *walks out and heads to Derek's room*
*in Derek's room*
Derek: hey
Cat: hey *lays down*
Derek: no kiss?
Cat: sorry *leans up and kisses him* there
Derek: you ok?
Cat: yea…just thinking
Derek: about?
Cat: promise you won't get mad
Derek: alright
Cat: I was thinking about Trent
Derek: *gets up* what the fuck? How the hell are you going to tell me not to get mad about you thinking about Trent?!
Cat: because I'm not thinking about him like that
Derek: then how are you thinking about him?
Cat: I just came from his room and- *gco*
Derek: you were in his room?!
Cat: it wasn't like that
Derek: then how was it?
Cat: he asked me how I dealt with having a case in my old neighborhood
Derek: oh
Cat: yea….oh
Derek: I'm sorry
Cat: its fine…I'll be right back *heads to the bathroom* Derek
Derek: yea
Cat: *walks back out* what's this? *holds up a box*
Derek: I was hoping you weren't going to find that until tomorrow morning
Cat: what is it *looking at the box*
Derek: open it
Cat: *opens the box* oh my gosh *takes the ring out the box* is this my promise ring?
Derek: yea *walks over to her and takes the ring* I want to make a new promise
Cat: Derek *starts to get teary eyed*
Derek: *gets down on one knee and takes her hand* I promise to be there for you every single day…I promise to love and cherish every bit of you…and I promise never to hurt you ever again…Catalina, I need you in my life and I'm so sorry for all the pain I've cause you in the past…please let me make it right
Cat: Derek *hugs him and they fall to the floor* of course I want to make things right
Derek: good…give me your hand
Cat: *holds hand out while smiling*
Derek: *places ring on her finger* there…now its finally back where it belongs
*knocking*
Cat: oh shit *gets up and runs into the bathroom*
Derek: who is it?
Male Voice: Trent
Derek: *opens door* what's up
Trent: do you know where Cat is?
Derek: no…why?
Trent: mind yo fucking business
Derek: yo watch who the fuck you're talking to
Trent: who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?! Huh?!
Derek: *clinches jaw* get the fuck out
Trent: no *glares at him*
Derek: *shoves him* I said get the fuck out!
Trent: No! *shoves him back*
*the two of them start fighting*
Cat: *running into the room* STOP IT! DEREK! TRENT! STOP!
*knocking*
Cat: *opens the door* Hotch?
Hotch: what the hell is going on? *walking in*
Cat: I can't get them to stop
Hotch: MORGAN! HUGHES! STOP!
Cat: Derek! Stop! *she grabs his arm and his reflexes kick in and he accidentally hits her where she got stabbed* OUCH! *bends over in pain*
Derek: oh shit! Cat, I'm so sorry! *reaches out to grab her*
Cat: get the hell away from me *swats his arm away and walks towards the door where the rest of the team is now standing* JJ, can you take me back to my room?
JJ: yea, come on *puts her arm around Cat's waist and walks her out*
Trent POV
Derek: FUCK!
Hotch: what the hell is wrong with you two?
Trent: I was looking for Cat because I had something else to ask her
Derek: oh really and what was that? Another fuck?
Trent: you know what *charges at him but Hotch stops him*
Hotch: Derek…take a walk….NOW!
Rossi: come on…the bar might still be open
Derek: fine *walks out*
Hotch: what the hell is wrong with you, we are a team…we do not fight
Trent: all I was trying to do was find Cat
Hotch: for what?
Trent: I wanted to ask her if she thought it was my fault she got stabbed
Hotch: *sighs* then why did you come to Derek's room?
Trent: I went to her room first…she wasn't in there so I went to everyone else's room….Derek's room was the last one
Hotch: look whatever love triangle the three of you have going on ends right now
Trent: there is no love triangle…she- *gco*
Hotch: exactly…there isn't one…now go to your room…I'll see you in the morning
*up next, more on the case…Hotch forces a team meeting….phone call to Fran…as always this is my first Criminal Minds story…reviews and ideas are welcomed….thank you to those that support!*
