Derek POV
Trent: so you two are finally married
Derek: yea…thanks again for be willing to sign over your rights if the results had turned out differently
Trent: no problem…I knew it'd be the right thing to do
Derek: yea…you aren't half bad *chuckles*
Trent: *hearing the booms* what the hell was that
Derek: I don't know
*hearing the second round of noise…they both look at each other and run out the bathroom and are stopped by Reid*
Reid: Derek! *tries to hold him back*
Derek: move Reid
Reid: no, it's bad
Trent: what the hell happened?
Hotch: *walking up to them* Derek, I need for you to stay calm
Derek: *panicking* what happened?
Rossi: *walking up* it's bad
Derek: WHAT! WHAT'S BAD! *tries to push past them*
EMT: excuse me *rolls the first stretcher in, followed by several other EMTs*
Derek: why are there EMTs here?! WHAT HAPPENED!? WHERE'S CAT?! *tries to push past the guys again*
Rossi: Derek, I need you to listen to me…I can't let you go in there
Derek: WHY?! No, no…I gotta find Cat….I GOTTA FIND CAT!
Trent: can one of y'all at least tell me what's going on
Hotch: *shakes his head* no
Derek: Hotch! Tell me!
EMT: excuse me again…*wheels the first stretcher past them*
Derek: DES! OH MY GOSH! DES!
Des: Derek, I'm fine…it's only my leg
EMT 2: excuse me *wheels the second stretcher past them*

Hotch: *holding him back* Derek! I need you to look away
JJ POV
Paramedic: ma'am…I need you to get on the stretcher. You've been shot and you need medical treatment
JJ: I got shot in the ass! I'm fine…you need to help her!
Paramedic: ma'am! You can't even walk without limping…I need you to get on the stretcher
JJ: fine *allows the EMTs to help her on the stretcher*
EMT 4 POV
EMT 4: I need someone to go get the neck brace, and grab a bunch of towels
EMT 5: I'm on it *runs out to the ambulance to get the supplies*
EMT 4: *talking to herself* this is bad
EMT 5: here *hands her the towels and places the brace on Cat's neck*
EMT 4: alright, we're going to lift her…but slowly. Get ready to use those towels…she's going to be a gusher the moment we move her
EMT 5: ok *follows orders and gets Cat on the stretcher*
EMT 4: she's losing a lot of blood…keep that pressure on those towels
Derek POV
Derek: *looking up* why the hell are they here? *looking at Tina and Javier's men being taken away in handcuffs*
Hotch: Derek…I need you to follow me to the car
Derek: NO! I WANT TO KNOW WHERE CAT IS!
Tina: *looking over at him* she's gone
Derek: what the hell did you just say me?! *walks toward her*
Officer 1: sir, I'm going to need you to stay back…and you *talking to Tina* I've already read you your rights so I suggest you stop talking *walks away*
Derek: *walks over to the guys* tell me what's going on NOW!
EMT 4: excuse me *wheels the stretcher past them*
Derek: CAT! CAT! WHY IS THAT MASK ON HER FACE?! BABY! BABY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
EMT 5: sir, I need for you to back up…is there someone that can give you a ride to the hospital?
Trent: *pulling Derek back* I'll take him…lets go
Hotch: we'll ride with you….Garcia…can you, Seiko and Gerren head to the house and let Fran and Maria know what's going on and call Will?
Garcia: of course…*walks off with Gerren and Seiko*
Chris: *wiping his eyes* can I ride with y'all
Hotch: of course
*the guys head to the hospital while the girls go to get Fran and Maria*
*at the hospital*
Maria: *running in* WHERE'S MY BABY?!
Rossi: *grabs Maria* she's in surgery
Reid: where are the babies?
Fran: the girls are back at the house watching them….what happened?
Hotch: *takes a deep breath* two of Javier's men and Tina, shot at the girls while they were out on the balcony
Maria: *crying* WHY WERE THEY OUT THERE?!
Rossi: they heard fireworks and went outside to look
Derek: why the hell was there fireworks?
Reid: you didn't order them?
Derek: no
Male voice: I did
*everyone turns and sees Javier*
Derek: *storming towards him* WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Hotch: *blocking Derek before he can get to Javier* this is not the place
Derek: NAW! FUCK THAT! *pushes past Hotch and gets in Javier's face*
Javier: *keeping a straight face* you seem mad…are you ok?
Derek: YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHY I'M MAD! YOU HAD SOMEONE SHOOT MY WIFE!
Javier: oh no *puts on fake sad face* someone shot MY wife
Maria: *walking up to him* now you know good and damn well that my daughter is not your wife
Javier: Maria, how you been *attempts to hug her*
Maria: don't touch me you bastard
Javier: aw Maria, don't be like that…I'm your son in law
Derek: you got one more time to call her your wife
Javier: *puts his hands up* I'm only speaking the truth
Derek: what the fuck are you talking about?!
Javier: Catalina is my wife
Derek: *grabs Javier's throat* you got one more time to talk about my wife
Javier: *laughs* she didn't tell you?
Derek: tell me what?
Javier: Catalina and I were more than engaged
Maria: excuse me?
Javier: after I proposed to Catalina, we decided that we didn't want a wedding because it'd be too much stress so we went and eloped
*everyone gasps*
Javier: and because we shared several investments as well as other assets, the divorce is taking a while to be finalized
Derek: *releases Javier's neck* I don't believe you
Maria: me either…there's no way in the world that my Catalina would ever elope…let alone elope with someone like you
Javier: aww Maria *puts his heart to his hands* it hurts that you don't love your son in law
Maria: I do love Derek…he's my son in law
Doctor: family of Catalina Williams?
Maria: I'm her mother *grabs Derek's hand* and this is her husband
Doctor: can you two follow me
Maria: sure *her and Derek follow the doctor to his office*
Doctor: *pulls up Cat's X-rays* let me start by saying Catalina is alive
Maria: *exhales and grabs Derek's hand* thank gosh!
Doctor: *pointing to the X-ray* a bullet hit and shattered her collar bone, there was another bullet that shattered her ankle bone…she was also shot twice in the abdomen which caused a lot of bleeding…we were able to stop the bleeding but she lost a lot of blood and we had to do a transfusion and…
Derek: can we see her?
Doctor: *sighs* she slipped into a coma right before we did the transfusion…right now it's touch and go and we have her hooked to a machine that will help her breath…now although she's in a coma…you can still talk to her
Maria: *crying* I just want to see my baby
Doctor: I'll take you to her room and then I'll give your friends a summary of what I just told you
Derek: *shakes his hand* thank you
*in Cat's room*
Derek: *grabs her hand* Cat, baby…if you can hear me…I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much. I'll be right here when you wake up *starts crying* and me, you and the kids will hop on a plane and go wherever you want to go…I love you *kisses her forehead*
*a few days later, courthouse*
Tina POV
Judge: Ms. Lopez…can you explain tell us, what made you shoot up someone's wedding?
Tina: *on the witness stand* I was fighting for my man
Prosecutor: excuse me you Honor, according to the statement given by Mr. Derek Morgan…there was no recent relationship between him and Ms. Lopez
Judge: Ms. Lopez, is that true?
Tina: I don't know what she's talking about…Derek and I loved each other
Prosecutor: your Honor, she's delusional…from what I've seen…Mr. Morgan was deeply in love with his wife Catalina Morgan
Tina: that bitch stole him from me
Judge: Ms. Lopez, I will charge you with contempt if you use that language in my court room again
Tina: sorry, but I had Derek first…she stole him from me
Prosecutor: according to this Morgan's statement…he and Catalina have known each other all their lives and they even had a relationship during their high school and college years…so technically Catalina had him first
Tina: I didn't know that
Judge: obviously…look, I'm going to make this short…it's obvious that you were one of the shooters at the wedding…there are numerous witnesses that identified you as the female shooter…I hereby sentence you to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after forty years…Bailiff…get her out of my court room
