Chap 10 "Catching Feelings"

Bee's POV

Neil has been a great friend to me. He helped me after the funeral. It's been a good two weeks. We were in my kitchen and he was cooking lunch. "Thank you," I stated.

"For what?" Neil asked.

"Being a friend to me," I replied. He put a plate in front of me. "You don't see anybody from my team here talking to me." I took a bite of the food. "The only time was the day after the funeral."

"Yeah, but you have me here," Neil nodded. "Your Dad seems to trust me enough to go back to Houston."

"Yeah, that is true," I stated. I finished the plate. "I have to go to work and talk to my boss."

"Why?" Neil asked.

"Because, I need help and I need to talk to my boss," I replied. "I'll be okay." I grabbed my keys and went to the FBI. I walked to Prentiss' office and knocked. "Hey."

"Hey," Prentiss smiled. "Come in." I did and closed the door. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm doing good," I nodded. "I could probably be better but I'm doing good." She smiled. "I still have a week left until I come back to work full time."

"Yeah," Prentiss nodded.

"I was wondering if I can get you and JJ to come help me scrapbook my pictures with Cam," I looked at her. "I can get them out of the frames and put them in a separate box as well as the pictures. I need to try and move on."

"What about his ranger suit?" Prentiss asked.

"That has been in a glass frame on a mannequin in my office," I replied. "It's right next to mine. I got his silver jacket framed last week. I also have mine and his ring on a chain as well as my engagement ring in a little ring holder in a shadow box with our wedding picture." I looked at Prentiss. "I just wanna preserve some memories as well as let go."

"Yeah, we can come over," Prentiss nodded. "We'll meet you at your house, okay?"

"Okay," I smiled. "Thank you." Prentiss nodded. I went back home and no one was there. "Neil?" I grabbed a note off the counter. "He is trying to get transferred to Mary Washington." About two hours later, Prentiss and JJ came over. Prentiss helped me empty the frames and put them in separate boxes. JJ put the pictures in a scrapbook. Twice the work done in half the tie. We got done a couple hours later. "Thank you guys."

"There's another guy living here," JJ looked at me.

"Yeah, he's a friend of mine," I smiled. "His name is Neil Melendez. I met him when I was in San Jose." They looked at me. "He's trying to get transferred to Mary Washington to be here for me. He doesn't even know I'm pregnant."

"Girl, he already fell for you," JJ replied. "He's trying to be close here for you. He loves you."

"Even if he doesn't love you, he definitely likes you," Prentiss replied. "No guy would just try to get a transfer for just a friend. You will have to tell him sometime that you are pregnant." I sighed. "You can't hide that forever."

"I can't hide the fact that I am pregnant, but he doesn't like me," I stated. "He's a friend, a surgeon. He can have anyone and I'm sure I'm not part of that." They looked at me. "I'm a widow. You really think he's gonna be into me?"

"You're young," JJ smiled. "Hasn't he showed you a small gesture that he's the least bit interested?"

"Not that I know of because I needed a friend and he was the only one there. He knew that I needed a friend," I replied. "I was very clear about it because none of my friends were there for me." I looked at them. "You guys didn't even pick up a phone to give me a call or a text to check up on me."
