Chapter 18
*at the station after meeting with the families*
Cat POV
Hotch: alright, what did you gather about our first victim?
Cat: he was born and raised in Alaska. His family said that last year he decided that he wanted a change of scenery and moved down to Miami, but recently he's been feeling extremely homesick
Derek: same thing the second victim's family said, except he's from Minnesota
JJ: same with the third and he's from Montana
Tina: hey *walking up* we got another one
Hotch: *sighs* alright, Prentiss, you and Reid go to the crime scene with Tina
Tina: can Derek go instead of Row? *looking at Reid* no offense
Cat: hell no
Derek: *whispering* calm down
Hotch: I actually need Derek to stay here
Tina: ok *starts walking away*
Reid: and its Reid by the way *leaves with Emily and Tina*
Garcia: hey people,*walks up* I just finished my second round of digging and I found something else all of our victims had in common
Hotch: what is it?
Garcia: all three of them had been searching the internet for a therapist
Rossi: any one in particular?
Garcia: no, they were just searching for a therapist in the area
Cat: I think I have an idea what's going on
JJ: I think I do too
Hotch: *sarcastic tone* care to share?
Cat: ok, when I first moved to Miami I went a little crazy with the drinking and partying because I was trying to block how extremely homesick I was feeling, then one day I was to the point that I was ready to give up and move back to Chicago
Hotch: what made you decide to stay?
Cat: honestly, it was Javier…one night I was out and he approached me, told me that he's seen me at the club several times and that it was time I grew up and stopped acting like a fool…at first I was taken aback and I was offended but then I realized that he was actually trying to help
Rossi: so he was kind of like a therapist to you?
Cat: exactly…I'm thinking the victims had that same feeling and they went looking for help
JJ: only they found our UnSub instead
Hotch: Garcia, look up any therapists that mainly dealt with what our victims were going thru… look for someone whose practice was suspended but is now operating a practice of their own, or a self proclaimed therapist
*few hours later*
Emily: *walking into the station with Reid and Tina* alright, it's definitely the same UnSub. I had Garcia look up the victim and he's from up north too
Hotch: ok, *informs them of the profile* it's getting late…Garcia; you can finish searching at the house
Cat: would you mind if I meet you guys there…I need to make a stop first
Hotch: ok, I guess that's fine
Cat: thanks, *walks out*
Hotch: any idea where she's going?
Derek: I think I have an idea…lets head back to the house
*Mansion office*
Cat: hey Javier
Javier: Catalina! How are you *gets up and hugs her*
Cat: good I guess…we need to talk
Javier: that's usually my line but ok *sits down at his desk* have a seat
Cat: *sits down* I have something to tell you
Javier: you're moving back Miami?
Cat: no
Javier: you want me to move to Quantico?
Cat: no
Javier: well damn
Cat: sorry
Javier: ok, is it good or bad?
Cat: both
Javier: alright, what is it?
Cat: ….I'm pregnant
Javier: oh really?
Cat: yea…there's a chance they may be yours
Javier: they?
Cat: I'm having twins
Javier: interesting, we always talked about having twins
Cat: *sighs* Javier, that was the past…I'm with Derek now
Javier: I'm guessing he gave you that *eyeing her promise ring*
Cat: yea
Javier: he needs to step his game up
Cat: it's a promise ring; he gave it to me when I first started college
Javier: Interesting, but *gets up and gets a box out the safe* you know this offer is still good *opens the box and reveals the 16 carat engagement ring he'd given Cat when they were dating*
Cat: *staring at the ring* Javier, I can't…I'm in love with Derek…I only came by to tell you that I'm pregnant…I'm not even sure if you're the father but I wanted to let you know that there was a chance that you were, and if it turns out that you are the father…I was wondering if you'd be willing to sign your rights over to Derek
Javier: hell no
Cat: Javier?
Javier: no, do you realize that you're the only woman I've ever considered having kids with let alone marrying
Cat: I know *looking down*
Javier: then you should also know that if I'm the father then I will not let another man raise my kids
Cat: Javier! *giving him pleading looks*
Javier: NO! Derek ain't the only one that's in love with you Catalina…and it would only make sense that you raise your children with their real father
Cat: …I call you when it's time for test
Javier: alright…but I want you to know that if they're my kids, I'm not going anywhere
Cat: bye Javier *leaves out*
*later on in Cat's room*
Derek POV
Derek: hey baby, did you take care of whatever it was that you needed to do?
Cat: yea *looking in her purse for her phone* what the hell?
Derek: what's wrong?
Cat: *turns around with her phone and Javier's engagement ring in her hand* this
Derek: that's nice…whose is it?
Cat: mine…well it used to be *looking at it*
Derek: alright *pats the bed* talk to me
Cat: *joins him on the bed* there's something I haven't told you, or anyone for that matter
Derek: what is it?
Cat: remember how I told you that Javier and I dated?
Derek: *clenches his jaw* yea
Cat: well that wasn't the complete truth…we dated for about 2 ½ years and he proposed when we hit 3 years…this was the ring he gave me *holding it up*
Derek: why do you have it?
Cat: I went to see him today to tell him about the babies
Derek: and?
Cat: *sighs and looks down* he said that if they're his kids then he won't sign over his rights because he doesn't want another man raising his kids
Derek: what the hell? You're with me, not him!
Cat: I know…I tried to tell him but- *gco*
Derek: then maybe I should tell him!*hops out the bed* take me to him
Cat: Derek, no…that's not a good idea *trying to stop him*
Derek: I don't give a fuck if it's a good idea or not…I'm not going to let some money making has been that's been nothing more than an occasional fuck to you, raise my family…as far as I'm concerned, those are my children that you're carrying, regardless of what a paternity test could say
Cat: Derek, please don't go down there…he's already pissed that I walked out, you showing up would only make things worse and I don't want anything to happen to you
Derek: *calming down* fine, but if he tries anything, and I mean anything…I'm going to handle it *heads back to the bed*
Cat: *joins him on the bed* Derek, please don't do anything crazy
Derek: that's something you need to tell him not me
Cat: *sighs* Derek
Derek: alright, I won't go crazy *kisses the top of her head* good night
Cat: night
Javier POV
Javier: I need you to keep an eye on her *passing an unknown male a picture of Cat*
Male: damn, she bad
Javier: keep ya fucking comments to yourself…now, she's pregnant and they could be mine but she's all up in her co-workers face, and there's a chance he could be the father as well
Male: damn…so what exactly do you want me to do?
Javier: keep an eye on her, anytime she goes to the doctor, I want to know what for and what the doctor tells her…most importantly, when she goes into labor I expect a call so I can get up there…now I love this woman and I want her to be mines again, and you're going to help me get her back *hands the guy an envelope full of money*
Male: alright *taking a look at the money* I'll keep you updated on what goes on *gets up and shakes his hand*
Javier: appreciate it…now see your way out
