Derek Morgan and I

“Good morning Mia” Fran smiled
“Morning” I whispered
“So your Derek’s girlfriend” The elder girl said
“His always talking about you” the younger one said
“Forgive them they seem to have forgotten there manners this is Sarah and Desiree Derek’s sisters” Fran said
“Oh hay” I said
“I’m Sarah that’s Desiree” the oldest pointed to her self then Desiree
“Hi” I said
“Is that all you can say?” Desiree smiled
“Sorry it’s just…”
“It takes her awhile to trust people” Fran jumped in
“I guess Derek told you” I said
“He didn’t want me asking questions so he told me all I need to know or so he said” Fran said
“Sounds like Derek his very protective of me I don’t understand why” I said
“Well I guess after what has happened to you he just wants to bag you up and keep you safe from the outside world” Sarah said
“Yeah he never really wants me to leave the house with out Spence” I said
“While Derek’s asleep do you mind if I ask you something?” Fran asked
“Best to ask while Derek’s not listening” I said
“What really happened to you?” Fran asked
“What has Derek told you” I asked
“He told us that you had been in and out of abuse foster homes and that the one you were in happened to be the home of a killing team they were looking for” Fran said
“I like how he leaves out the detail” I smiled to my self “You see what happened was mom and dad gave me up as a new born I was in and out of foster homes until I was 10 I was then adopted by a couple who seemed really nice but turns out they had been adopting and killing girls for over 20 years I guess I was lucky they only every kept the one child for 2 years then they would kill them and adopt a new child during the period during adoptions they would pick up girls off the street or kidnap them they would beat us rape and well kill some of us as well they were getting ready to kill me when the BAU found them” I said
“You poor thing” Fran said
“I was lucky I guess” I said “They only beat me once a week and I got raped maybe twice a week if I was lucky the other girls were beaten non stop”
“I don’t see that as lucky” Sarah said
“They needed to make it look like I was clumsy at least that way when people came around they didn’t suspect anything” I said
“If you don’t mind me asking how you got the scar” Desiree asked
“The third foster home I was in the guy was psychopath well at least I thought so no one would listen to me not until this happened” I ran a finger down the scar “He had this girlfriend he use to make me watch them have sex and if I refused he would hit me one day he brought this pocket knife and when I refused to watch he dragged the knife across my arm then down my face I went to school the next day the teachers asked me what happened I told them about him they told child services and I was placed in a new home”
“Where they all like that?” Fran asked
“No I was taken in by a lovely old lady she had no kids of her own so she took in children where she could I was with her until she died” I said
“Well you have us now and Derek” Sarah said
“And Aaron, Dave, Spence, Emily and Penelope” I smiled
“You couldn’t asked for better friends” Fran said
“So what exactly has Derek said about me” I asked
“What hasn’t he said” Sarah laughed
“He always talks about how perfect you are and how he has never met anyone who despite what she’s been through always smiles” Desiree smiled
“He talks about how alive you are and how no matter what you always find the good in people” Fran said
“But that you are a little too trusting” Sarah said
“He said that for a white girl you don’t seem to see skin colour” Desiree said
“And that you are the most down to Earth person his ever met” Fran said
“He said that you seem to take in a little of the people around you” Sarah said
“That you always brighten up any room you walk into” Fran said
“Not to mention that your kind to everyone you meet” Desiree said
“He told us that once the two of you were walking down the street when you saw a homeless guy” Sarah said
“You walked over to him and handed him 20 dollars and said you dropped this and walked off” Fran said
“He told us you spend a lot of time going from homeless shelter to homeless shelter helping as many people as you can” Desiree said
“He loves you Mia” Sarah said
“I know he does” I smiled
“Not to break the moment but I’ve got to get to work” Desiree said looking at her watch
“Bye” I said
Fran and Sarah walked to the door with her talking. I walked over and poured my self some coffee before sitting to think. All those things Derek has said about me but not once did he say anything to me about it. Thinking about what he said he was right. I’m a very kind, caring person who doesn’t like to see people in pain. I help where I can and do my bit to make a better tomorrow. I never asked for anything in return just for people to care for each other. I guess I am a little to trusting. Fran and Sarah walked back in and sat down with me. We began to talk. We must have talked for an hour or more because we didn’t stop until Derek walked in to the room.
“Coffee my love” Derek smiled at the coffee machine
“His suppose to be on love with me” I said
“Oh come on you know I love you just not as much as coffee” Derek said
“Maybe you should dumb him” Fran said
“Maybe” I said
“I’m sure we could find you a handsome man around town somewhere” Sarah said
“Yeah a rich handsome man” I said
“Hay I’m standing right here” Derek said
“Oh I’m sorry is this talking upsetting poor little Derek” I smiled
“Your one to talk shortie” Derek smiled
“Sit your butt down and join the talk” I said
“Okay but only for a minute as soon as I am finished my coffee I’m leaving” Derek said
“Where are you going?” I asked
“I need to go somewhere then I’ll come back and get you so we can go down to the youth centre” Derek said
“Okay don’t get in anymore trouble” I said
“Derek your lips swollen and your cheek is bruised what happened?” Frank asked
“I got in a fight” Derek said
“With whom” Sarah asked
“Rodney” Derek said
“What are you doing messing with that cat each time you do you ended up sitting at the police station” Sarah said
“He started it and if it’s anything to you he spent the night in lock up” Derek said
“What happened” Fran asked
“He came up to me and told me all the things he wanted to do to Mia I told him to back off but he wouldn’t listen to me” Derek said “I went to walk away he grabbed my arm I told him to let go when he didn’t I hit him a cop car came past at that time and he asked us what was going on I told him and he put Rodney in lock up for the night”
“So Rodney has met Mia” Sarah said
“Not quite more like he just likes the look of her” Derek said
“Just ignore him he’ll get what’s coming to him” Fran said
“Damn right he will” Derek said
“Derek what am I suppose to do while you’re gone” I asked
“Get ready god knows it takes you women an hour besides I’ll only be gone a few minutes” Derek said
“Fine” I said
Derek walked off to get ready while I just sat and looked at the coffee mug in my hand. Fran and Sarah were talking away I felt so out of place this was a family that was so close together. I felt like I really didn’t belong. Sarah and Fran must have picked out that I was awkward because they both looked at me.
“What’s wrong Mia?” Sarah asked
“I feel weird here” I said
“What do you mean?” Sarah asked
“I don’t feel like I belong” I said
“What makes you think that” Fran asked
“I feel like I’m trying to fit in where I’m not needed your family seems so happy and I feel like I’m not suppose to be a part of that” I said
“Don’t be silly besides Derek owes me some gran babies” Fran smiled
“Oh come on mama you’re not still going on with that” Derek said
“Well you do lots of them” Fran said
“I’m going to guess that this is a regular topic of conversation” I laughed
“Every time I visit” Derek shook his head
“Hay Mia if you get dressed I need some help” Sarah smiled
“Okay is that alright Derek” I asked
“Hay you’re the one who is stuck with her not me” Derek said
“Cool I’m going to have a quick shower and I’ll be back” I jumped up from the bench.
I gave Derek a quick kiss before running off for the shower. I only really wanted a shower to make me feel clean. When I was done I got dressed and walked out into the kitchen.
“You ready” Sarah asked
“I suppose” I said
We said bye to Fran before walking out of the house. I followed Sarah a little confused on where we were going.
“Okay it’s safe to speak now” Sarah said
“Talk about what?” I asked
“The cake” Sarah said
“Oh what kind of cake” I asked a little excited
“Well that’s what we need to decided” Sarah said
“How about chocolate” I suggested
“I suppose” Sarah said
“We could put chocolate icing on the cake them swirl while chocolate through it” I said
“That would be amazing I can see now” Sarah said
“So let’s get going” I said
Sarah and I walked into the local shop and got the things we would need. The shop we walked into wasn’t like the ones at home I was half hoping that it would be. It was quite small more like a corner shop, a deli if you will. Once we had the things we needed we headed back to the car. As we came into eye shot of the car Rodney showed up.
“Sarah oh and Mia how nice to see you” Rodney smiled
“Back off Rodney” Sarah said
“Or what I don’t see Mr FBI around” Rodney said
“You touch either of us and you’ll be sorry” Sarah said
“Come on what’s Derek gunna do to me” Rodney said
“Looks like he already rearranged your face and can I say you look so much better this way” I spoke up
“That was a one of next time his as good as dead” Rodney said
“If I just heard correctly he just threatened to kill an FBI agent” Sarah said
“That’s what I heard” I said
“I guess his going to be locked away for a few years” Sarah said
“Yeah what 5 to 10” I said
“Sounds about right” Sarah said
“Good luck” Rodney said
“Leave us alone” Sarah said
“Let’s see no” Rodney said
“Go away” Sarah said
“I have things I wanna do to you first” Rodney looked at me and evil smirk on his face
“Don’t you dare touch her” Derek walked up behind him
“Oh look Mr FBI” Rodney said
“I beat you up once I can do it again” Derek said
“I’d like to see you try” Rodney said
“Sarah can you take Mia home” Derek said
“Derek” Sarah said
“Now” Derek said
Sarah grabbed my arm and pulled me to the car while Derek and Rodney yelled at each other. I worried about Derek. I spent the whole trip to Sarah’s worrying about all the things that could happen to Derek. Sarah tried to talk to me. I wasn’t listening. We arrived at Sarah’s, collected the groceries and walked in side. Sarah moved about the kitchen getting things to cook the cake or checking to make sure she had everything I don’t know. I sat and waited for her to finish. Sarah said we would cook the cake tomorrow because tomorrow is Fran’s birthday plus Desiree has the day off and we could use her help.
“Why can’t Derek help us?” I asked
“Well in 1994 he decided to help with Christmas dinner and almost burnt down the house” Sarah said
“Really” I laughed
“Yeah we still get cards from the fire department” Sarah laughed
“Come on your still going on about that” Derek said walking in the door
“Looks like you didn’t get in a fight” I said
“Nah I arrested him instead” Derek said
“For what” Sarah asked shocked
“Stalking, harassment and threat to harm” Derek said
“So in other words his going to be in locked up for 2 days” I said
“Better then harassing us” Derek smiled
“True” I said
“You ready to go” Derek asked
“Yeah let’s go” I said
“The kids are going to love you” Derek said
“So what are going to do today” I asked
“I promised the kids that next time I was in we would re-painted the centre” Derek said
“Great work” I said

Derek and I left Sarah’s and headed for the youth centre. Upon arriving Derek was pretty much attacked by little people. They had so my questions. Who was I? Where they going to paint the centre? Could they paint it different colours? Why was I with Derek? He tried his best to answer as many questions as possible.
“Okay kids this is how it’s going to work” Derek said “We’ll paint each wall a different colour now who want’s to help me get the paint” Derek asked a whole chorus of me broke out
Derek picked out some boys to go with him and buy paint. I stayed behind to help clean up. We had to wash the walls and lay down tarps. I had a group of kids scrubbing the walls while a few of them went and grabbed some traps for us to lie on the floor. When Derek got back we began to paint. We started on one wall and just went until the whole room was painted when we finished in the main hall we went on to the other rooms and painted them as well. The kids seemed to enjoy them self’s Derek was laughing and talking with the kids. Derek would be a great father someday. It didn’t take us long to finish painting. Once done Derek said goodbye to the kids we left.
“I’m going to drop you back with my mom then I have to go get her a present” Derek said
“Serious you show up for your mom’s birthday without a present” I smiled
“I didn’t want to have to carry it on the plane so I thought it would easier to shop here” Derek said
“Okay I believe you” I smiled
“Damn right you do” Derek smiled
“Can I ask you something” I asked
“You know you can asked me anything” Derek said
“I’ve heard a lot about you what you were like before you met me how come even though your so far away most of the time you remain faithful” I asked
“Simple because I love and I would never hurt you” Derek said
“Spence told me that you always use to hit on girls and most of the time you would get there number” I said
“Oh see that ain’t cool” Derek said
“Don’t worry I got plenty of dirt on you” I smiled
“Who you been talking to” Derek asked
“Oh Emily, Aaron, Spencer, Garcia, JJ you know just everyone in the BAU” I smiled
“Come on serious” Derek said
“Deadly” I smirked
“There a certain things I want to tell you myself” Derek said
“Oh don’t worry I know there is plenty there not telling me” I said
“Good I think we need to talk” Derek said
“You go shopping for your mom then we’ll talk” I said
“Yes boss” Derek said
“Good” I said
Derek dropped me at his moms and took off. Fran and I talked for a while before she had to take off. I sat and watched TV while waiting for Derek. I was half way through an episode of a show about FBI profilers when my phone rang.
“Hello” I said
“Hi Mia Spencers on a hunger strike” Aaron said
“Put him on” I said
“Hello” Spence said
“What are you protesting against this time?” I asked “Global warming, self heating bathtubs what”
“Hotch wants me to eat all my vegetables” Spence said
“Well then listen to the man and eat them” I said
“Why” Spence whined he was such a baby
“Because if you don’t I’ll make Aaron serve up a bowl of vegetables every night until I get back” I said
“Fine you win I’ll smother them in sauce” Spence said
“You do that” I said “Now put Aaron back on”
“So is he going to eat” Aaron asked
“Yeah you see contrary to what you’ve been told threats work” I said
“Right so how are things in Chicago” Aaron asked
“Well besides this guy called Rodney causing some trouble quite well” I said
“So I’m guessing his sisters haven’t kick you to the street yet” Aaron said
“Nope” I said
“Good well I’m going to talk with Spence bye” Aaron said
“Bye” I didn’t quite get in before he hung up. Typical Aaron always hanging up before you can get a word in.
