Chapter 24
*the next morning, unknown location*
Cat POV
Cat: *sitting in a corner replaying the images of Derek and Tina having sex in her mind*
Javier: *walking the room* get up
Cat: *in a daze*
Javier: *grabs her arm and pulls her up* I SAID GET UP!
Cat: *lowers her head and starts crying*
Javier: *pulls her into a hug* baby, why are you crying?
Cat: *looks up at him* I can't do this
Javier: *grabs her throat* I'm getting tired of you being an ungrateful ass bitch…I provide everything for you and our family and you're going to start appreciating me. Cuz if you don't *tightens his grip* I will take my kids and you will never see them again *releases her* do I make myself clear?
Cat: *wipes her eyes* yes
Javier: *smiles* that's better
*at the BAU*
Derek POV
Garcia: ok, I finished pulling up everything I could find on Tina and she comes up squeaky clean…and we just got more photos and another video
Hotch: *sighs* pull them up
*video*
Cat: hey guys, I know you're worried but I'm ok. Please stop looking for me *looks down and then back up* I'm happy where I am
Javier: *sits down beside her* that's right *pulls her into a side hug and kisses her cheek* we're happy
Cat: yea *starts cry*
Javier: *grabs her hair* you bitch!
*the video cuts off and the team is shocked*
Hotch: *sighs* and the pictures?
Garcia: yes sir *pulls up the pictures Javier sent of the "family" photos*
JJ: he is sick
Derek: *still hazy from the night before* yea
Hotch: *notices how distracted Derek is* Derek, are you ok?
Derek: no…I screwed up
Emily: what do you mean? This isn't your fault
Derek: I'm not talking about that
JJ: then what are you talking about?
Derek: I think I had sex last night
Reid: you think?
Derek: I can't remember if it really happened or if it was a dream…but I'm pretty sure I did
Rossi: do you at least remember who it might have been with?
Derek: …Tina
*everyone is in shock*
JJ: WHAT?!
Derek: I think I had sex with Tina last night
Hotch: are you sure?
Derek: I think…all I remember is walking into my room and seeing Tina lying on my bed with lingerie on, then I remember telling her several times to get out…after that it's all a blur
Emily: you don't remember anything else?
Derek: *shakes his head* no, I woke up this morning naked and by myself…I found a note on the nightstand and it said; "thanks for last night…you still know how to put it down" –T.
Reid: you don't think Tina is working with Javier?
JJ: it would make sense…Javier wants Cat and Tina wants Derek
Hotch: Derek, would you happen to have Tina's number
Derek: I might *scrolls thru his contacts…*sighs* I deleted it
Hotch: Garcia, see if you can find a cell phone number for Tina Lopez
Garcia: I'm on it
Hotch: lets hope she was careless and brought her phone with her
*few minutes later*
Garcia: *walks back in* I got it!
Hotch: alright…Derek, I know this is a lot to ask and it may be hard…but I need you to be the one to call Tina…I need you to act like you're over Cat and that Tina is the one you want
Derek: *sighs and runs his hands over his head* fine…if it means getting my babies back
Hotch: Garcia, the moment Tina answers the phone; I want you to track that number…Derek, try to keep her on the phone as long as you can
Garcia and Derek: got it
*unknown location*
Cat POV
Cat: *lying next to Javier* permission to go to the bathroom
Javier: permission granted…hurry back, I want round 2
Cat: ok *walks out of the room*
*she hears a phone ringing and follows the noise, and makes sure no one is following her*
Cat: *recognizing the number, answers* hello?
Derek: Cat?
Cat: yea, Derek?
Derek: yea…why are you answering Tina's phone?
Cat: Tina?
Derek: yea, Det. Lopez
Cat: what the hell? Why is her phone up here?
Derek: she teamed up with Javier…and "up here", you're in the area?
Cat: kinda, I'm not in Quantico but I'm close…look, I gotta go…I'm not going to hang up, I just need to hide the phone and get back to Javier before he comes looking for me
Derek: ok, we have Garcia tracking it now…and Cat?
Cat: yea?
Derek: I love you
Cat: I love you too…*whispers* I gotta go *hides the phone and runs to the bathroom*
Javier: *knocking on the bathroom door* you ok in there?
Cat: yea…I'll be out in a minute *flushes to make it believable and turns on the sink*
Javier: ok
Female voice: hey, have you seen a phone?
Javier: no, why
*Cat:*listening thru the door, thinking* Tina
Tina: I could have sworn I had a phone in the other room and now I can't find it
Javier: why the hell did you bring a phone in the first fucking place? I gave you one to communicate with
Tina: I know, but I wanted some music to listen to on the plane
Javier: SO BUY A FUCKING MP3 PLAYER! I swear…if you fuck this up
Tina: ok, number 1…I'm not ya little bitch ok…and 2, relax…I'm sure I stuck it in one of my bags and forgot I put it there
Javier: yea aight…how about you go find it
Tina: fine *walks off*
Cat: *opens the door* is everything ok?
Javier: yea…let go make more babies *grabs her arm and pulls her to the bedroom*
*at BAU*
Derek POV
Garcia: *fingers flying across her keyboard* we got a hit
Hotch: alright, lets move out
Derek: *following the team out, thinking to self* I'm coming baby
*almost to the location*
Hotch: I know you have a bunch of emotions running thru your head but I need you to stay calm
Derek: Hotch, you're telling me something that I already know
Hotch: alright…*talking to the rest of the team* remember to keep your eyes open, from what we know…Javier has two guys working with him and Tina might be there as well
*team nods their heads*
Hotch: *standing outside the door* lets go *opens the door and sneaks in*
*Trent and Emily arrest Javier's men*
Derek: *whispering* I think Cat's up there *sneaks up the stairs wit JJ, Hotch, Rossi and Reid*
*Reid, Rossi and Hotch find the babies unharmed…Derek finds Cat nearly naked and passed out on a bed but he doesn't see Javier or Tina*
Derek: *runs to Cat* Cat *shakes her* come on Cat, wake up baby
Cat: *moaning* owwww
Derek: Cat, it's me Derek *picks her up*
Cat: *fully awake* Derek *hugs him and starts crying* I missed you so much!
Derek: I know baby…lets get out of here *starts walking and gets hit in the back and drops Cat and falls* AAAHHH!
Javier: you think you're just going to come in and take my woman
Derek: *climbs to his feet* you son of a bitch *charges toward Javier and they start fighting*
Cat: *struggling to get off the ground*
Tina: *grabs Cat's hair* you stupid bitch! You just can't leave my man alone
Cat: *digs her nails into Tina's hand, Tina releases her and Cat climbs to her feet* you're going to regret that *starts punching Tina*
*Hotch sets Ava back in the crib and runs to toward the noise, he finds Tina on the floor with Cat on top of her and Cat is punching her….Derek has Javier in a headlock…Trent and Emily also run upstairs toward the noise*
Hotch: DEREK! HE CAN'T BREATHE! LET HIM GO!
Derek: NO! HE'S GOING TO PAY
Hotch: DEREK! I COMMAND YOU TO FOLLOW ORDERS! *walks toward Derek and handcuffs Javier* let him go
Derek: fine *releases Javier and kicks him to the ground*
*Trent and Emily struggle to pry Cat off of Tina*
Emily: CAT! You've got to let go
Cat: NO!
*Trent finally manages to pry Cat off of Tina and Emily slaps handcuffs on Tina*
Cat: UGH! *breaks free and tries to walk but falls automatically*
Derek: CAT! *picks her up* don't worry baby, I got you
Cat: *looks up at him with tears in her eyes* I just want to go home
Derek: come on *carries her outside to the ambulance*
*1 week later at the BAU*
Cat POV
Cat: *power walking with JJ by her side* SHIT! I can't believe I'm late on my first day back
JJ: remind me how you're late when you live with one of your co-workers
Cat: he said he needed to go in early to finish up some paperwork
JJ: and you didn't think to go with him?
Cat: no, I'm extremely incoherent when I first wake up
JJ: then how'd you know that he left early?
Cat: he left a note
JJ: ah…well you know how it is with paperwork. Nice look by the way *admiring Cat's now straight, chocolate brown hair with bangs*
Cat: thanks…I'll leave the blonde hair to you and Garcia
JJ: *laughs* ok
Cat: *stops* do you hear music?
JJ: *listening* yea
Cat: that's weird *opens the door to the bull pen* oh my gosh
*she walks in and sees Derek, Reid and Trent in tuxedos, "Lets Get Married" by Jagged Edge is playing and Derek lip syncs the song as the lead singer and Reid and Trent pose as his background singers. They even perform a dance while singing. Throughout the song, Fran, Maria, Des, Sarah, Ava, Cataleya and Derek Jr. all appear leaving Cat surprised and in tears*
*as the song comes to an end*
Derek: Catalina, I fell in love with you the very first time we went out. I can't imagine living my life with anyone else. Catalina, I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. *gets down on one knee and opens a ring box* Catalina Marie Williams, will you marry me?
Cat: *wipes her eyes and smiles* YES! *hugs him* YES!
Derek: *kisses her cheek and places the ring on her finger and stands up and kisses her again*
*everyone claps and the babies smile*
Fran, Des, Maria, and Sarah: FINALLY!
