Chapter 17
*at Miami PD*
Cat POV
Precious: AAAAHHHHH! CAT! *runs over and picks her up*
Cat: hi boo *hugs him back*
Precious: *puts her down* oh wait a minute….PENELOPE!
Penelope: hello my queen *hugs him*
Gerren: hey Cat *hugs her*
Seiko: hey Cat…hi Spencer *smiles*
Reid: *blushing* hi
Precious: please tell me Marcus called y'all here
Marcus: *walking* nope…Tina did…hey Cat
Tina: ah, welcome back BAU…hey Derek *smiles, then looks at Cat* Cat
Cat: bitch
Derek: *hits her arm* behave
Cat: I mean Tina *fake smiles*
Tina: mmhhmmm….well anyways, I have everything set up in that room over there
Hotch: lets go
*team follows Tina into the meeting room*
Tina: ok, from what we've know so far…911 received a call about loud noises in the middle of the night…the police went and checked it out and found the snowmen halfway melted and the victims stuck inside. *shows the crime scene photos*
JJ: have you found any connections between the victims?
Tina: no *looks down*
Cat: *shakes her head and laughs to herself*
Derek: *nudges her* stop it *gives a small laugh*
Hotch: ok…would you mind taking JJ and Cat to the crime scene…Reid, you and Morgan go to the morgue…Dave, you and Trent will talk to any family or friends that knew the victims…Garcia, can you dig up dirt and see if there are any connections?
Team: got it
*in the back seat of Tina's car*
JJ: *whispering to Cat* ok, as amusing as you are with Tina, you know you have to behave
Cat: *whispering* yea, yea…but if my hormones take over then it's not my fault *smiles*
JJ: *quietly laughing* stop it
Cat: fiiiinneeee *laughs*
Tina: we're here
*they get out the truck*
Cat: well the rest of the snow has melted *looking around*
Tina: yea…they had to melt it down to get the bodies out
JJ: have they figured out the cause of death?
Tina: coroners said that they were injected with some type of muscle paralyzer…when their bodies became stiff, the UnSub attached their bodies to those stands over there and built the snowmen around them…coroners think the freezing temp of the snow is the COD
Cat: those look like doll stands
Tina: they were fitted around each victim
JJ: we should get back to the station
*at the station*
Garcia: ok my lovelies…I cross checked all three victims and none of them knew each other, but…I did find one thing they all have in common…pause for dramatic effect…they're all from up north
Hotch: north?
Garcia: yep, where it snows a whole hell of a lot more than what we see in D.C. during the winter
Rossi: any reason they were down here?
Garcia: yes, all of them had moved here in the past year and a half, however none of them live in the same neighborhood
Hotch: what about their routines?
Garcia: none of them have the similar job…in fact they are completely different…one is a bartender, another is a cashier and the third is a freelance artist…as far as family and friends, none of them had a family down here and they had very small amount of friends…mostly co-workers for the first two
Hotch: alright, the victims' families will be flying in tomorrow…lets head back to the house and get some rest
Cat: can we get food?
Hotch: *chuckles* yes
*out in the office*
Marcus: Cat!
Cat: yea *turns around*
Marcus: I wanted you to meet the new team members…this is Ciara Harris and that's Willy Monfret
Cat: nice to meet you *smiles*
Willy: so you're the infamous Cat
Precious: yes she is, and you bitches have some big shoes to fill
Cat: *hitting him* Precious
Precious: I'm sorry, but it's true
Cat: well I'd love to stay and chat but my team and I are headed out
Marcus: alright, well you know Tina is dumb as hell so I'm sure you'll be here a while
Cat: on that note I'm leaving *walks away laughing*
*at Cat's house*
Garcia: GOSH! I LOVE THIS HOUSE!
Cat: *laughing* well if I ever come here for a vacation you are more than welcome to join me
Garcia: this is why I love you *hugs her*
Derek: hey!
Garcia: don't worry Hot Stuff…I still love you too
Derek: you better *teasing*
Hotch: alright you three…lets get settled in…Reid, you and Morgan can share a room this time
Derek and Reid: HEY!
Hotch: I'm serious *walks off*
Reid: I just wanted to read
Hotch: whatever
Trent: hey Cat, can I talk to you?
Cat: sure *turning to the other team mates* you guys remember where everything is right?
*they all nod and walk off*
Cat: come on *heads to the living room*
Trent: *looking around* this is nice
Cat: thanks *takes a seat on the couch* what's up
Trent: *sits down* I have a question
Cat: go ahead
Trent: is…is there a chance that…that they could be mine?
Cat: *takes a deep breath* yea
Trent: *sighs* look, I don't mean to sound like a dead beat or anything but if you choose to get a paternity test and they're mine…I'm willing to sign the rights over to Derek
Cat: *surprised* Trent
Trent: I know you love him, and he loves you so much…it would only be right that he's their father regardless of what a DNA test could say
Cat: thank you *hugs him*
Trent: you're welcome…I just want to do the right thing
Cat: thank you *smiles and wipes away a few tears* now your room is upstairs to the left…if you need anything I'm upstairs to the right at the end of the hall
Trent: ok, thanks *walks off*
*meanwhile in Cat's room
Derek POV
Derek: *on the phone* hey momma
Fran: hey son, how are you
Derek: good, Cat and I went to therapy
Fran: oh really, and how was that?
Derek: it went really well actually…we're doing a lot better
Fran: we? As in a couple?
Derek: yes momma, she even has her promise ring again
Fran: OH! That news just made my day! Now there better not be any more problems between you two or Maria and I will come down there and beat both of y'all asses
Derek: MA!
Fran: oh hush…you know I've cussed before…anyways, I expect to hear about an engagement soon
Derek: okay Ma, time to hang up
Fran: I'm just teasing…but it would be nice
Derek: I know momma
Fran: well alright now, I love you son
Derek: love you too momma *hangs up*
Cat POV
Cat: *walks in the room* am I interrupting?
Derek: nope, I was just talking to my mom
Cat: did you tell her?
Derek: nooo…I thought you wanted to wait
Cat: whew…yea, waiting is best…anyways I have something to tell you
Derek: what's up?
Cat: *joins him on the bed* Trent
Derek: what about him?
Cat: he asked if there was a chance that he could be the father, I told him yes…and he said that if I decided to do a paternity test and he turned out to be the father, he'd be willing to sign over his parental rights to you
Derek: wow *surprised*
Cat: I know…he said that it would only be right that you were the father regardless of what a DNA test says
Derek: that was very noble of him
Cat: yea *starts thinking*
Derek: what else is on your mind?
Cat: just thinking about how we're in Miami and whether I should tell Javier about the pregnancy…and if I do, will he have the same reaction as Trent
Derek: *takes a deep breath* I'm not going to give my opinion on it, that's something you should decide for yourself…what I will say is that I love you very much, and I'll be there for you regardless of what you choose to do
Cat: thank you *lays on his chest* I'm sleepy
Derek: *laughs* then go to sleep
Cat: it's kinda hard to do that with you being butt ass naked
Derek: then how about you get butt ass naked too
Cat: *laughs* fine *undresses and lays back down*
Derek: better?
Cat: nope…now I don't want to sleep
Derek: oh really…then what do you want to do?
Cat: *sits up and looks at him* I think you know *smiles*
Derek: come here *kisses her*
*up next, more on the case, a profile is given, Tina and Cat go round 2, possible conversation with Javier, as always this is my first Criminal Minds story, ideas and reviews are welcome…a big thank you to those that support…also, I won't be able to update until Sunday or Monday night but there are a few polls that have to do with upcoming chapters so feel free to check them out*
