It'll Never Be The Same

Telling The Team

Reid's POV

I wake up next to Derek. A small smile spreads across my face as I remember what happened last night.

I pull myself from the bed and get dressed. I gently kiss Derek on the forehead and went out to the kitchen. I decide to make breakfast for the both of us. I pull out the eggs and bacon form the fridge. I then put on some coffee and I decide on toasted bread for the side. As I cook I put on some music and began dancing along. I hear chuckling coming from behind me, I turn around to see Derek standing there staring at me. I blushed and stopped.

"Don't stop, baby boy. I'm just happy to see you happy." He says walking up behind me and hugging me. He began to kiss down my neck and shoulder.

"No, no, no" I shuddered out, "food is cooking. Then we eat, and go into work" I pushed him away.

"No fair." Derek pouted. I chuckled and gave him a kiss before going back to the food

**Time Skip: at the BAU**

Me and Derek sat in his car staring at each other.

"So what are we gonna tell them?" Derek questioned.

"Do you want to tell them we're together, or what?" I answered his question with another question.

"I mean, I want to tell them, but do you?"

"I do. So we're telling them?"

"I guess so." Derek said looking at me. He gave me a quick kiss and we got out. I walked over to him and we made our way in.

"Wait!" I said before getting to the door.

"Yes?" He asked me. I looked into his eyes and all I could see was love and care. I knew he wanted this just as much as I did. I take his hand in mine, smiled, and gave him a small kiss.

"Lets go" I finally said.

We walk hand in hand into the BAU. I felt nervous, but at the same time excited. I was excited that we finally got this far. I was looking down the whole time, so when I finally looked up, I came face to face with the team staring at us. I felt my heart skip a beat and my stomach drop. Before I knew it I couldn't breath and I felt as though I was going to pass out. I pull on Derek's arm and started to hide behind him.

I've had panic attacks before. I've had a lot of panic attacks, but never like this one. I could feel tears form in my eyes and my whole body was shaking. I could hear Derek's voice but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I felt myself fall to the ground and I pulled myself into a ball. Derek picked me up off the floor and carries me to the conference room. He set me down on a chair and went to leave.

"Ahh" is all I could manage to get out. I lifted my hands motioning for him to stay with me. After what felt like hours(but only about 5 minutes) Derek was able to calm me down.

"It's okay baby boy. It's okay. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." Derek kept repeating. I look up at him and he kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered out looking down again.

"Baby, look at me" I look up at Derek, "You don't need to apologize to me. It's okay. I'm here for you. It's not your fault. The team is outside waiting for when you're ready." He kissed my cheek. I smiled and nodded.

The team was very supportive and loving. They were all just happy to see me and Derek happy.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the fun, but we got a case." Garcia announced. We all sat down and she continued.

"We are going to Kentucky. 3 little girls have been taken in the past 24 hours."

"We need to hit the ground running okay. Reid, Derek, you two go meet with the local law enforcement. Giddion, Emily, you guys meet with the search team. Garcia you'll be coming with us, I want you with Derek and Reid and get set up. JJ you take care of the media coverage. I'll meet with the parents. Wheels up in 10." Hotch ordered. Everyone went their separate ways to get ready. Before I could leave Garcia stopped me.

"You okay?" She questioned.

"I'm fine. It's a long story, can I explain later?"

"Of course." She hugged me then left to get ready to leave.

I walk out to my desk and put a few books into my go bag. Derek walked over to me with a cup of coffee to go.

"Thanks" I smiled at him. He kissed my forehead and went to get his stuff for his go bag.

We all get into our SUVs to get to the plane. Morgan drove, I'm next to him, and Garcia and JJ in the back. I reach over and take Derek's hand in mine. I find great comfort in just being near him.

"GAYYY!!" I hear from the back. I turn around to see the girls laughing. I giggles and we continued.

On the plane I choose a seat on the side. Morgan choose to sit next to me. Hotch tells the pilot where we were going and sits next to Giddion. We all buckle up and get ready for take off.

"Okay, lets go over the facts of the case." Hotch announced as we were in the air. I take off my seat belt and take out the case file.

"So it says the girls all went missing last night?" I asked.

"Yes, the parents didn't report them missing until the morning after. There is no sign of forced entry and nothing, but the children, was taken." Morgan answered looking over his file. I hear a strange sound coming form the plane.

Over head we hear "please buckle up, we are experiencing some turbulence." All, but Giddion followed direction. Another terrible noise from the plane, and I knew it wasn't turbulence. Something was wrong. Something terrible was wrong.
