A/N So I hope you liked the summary. Warning nobody gets hurt in this story but a few previously kept secrets are revealed. What happens when the BAU discovers that Beth and Sam are together and Penelope and Derek are together? In this story the red cell team does not exist, the characters do but they are a part of the original BAU team. Beth and Sam have known each other a long time and are best friends, a little bit more of their back story is revealed throughout this story. Obviously Death of A Thousand Cuts never happened. The first two chapters are about how each of the relationships come together and the rest of the story is how they are eventually found out and what happens then.
Disclaimer: Criminal Minds and Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior do not belong to me. But the plot does.
Sam and Beth
"Sam!" Special Agent Beth Griffith yells as she hears a groan tear through him due to the hole in his shoulder.
She runs to the room he is in with her finger on the trigger. She sees the man who shot him with his gun pointed at Sam and immediately she thinks of the training she received in the FBI Academy and removes her finger from the trigger.
"Put the gun down!" She yells at the un-sub "Why ? What else do I have to lose? If I go to jail we both know I will get the death penalty." "How do you know that? Killing him isn't going to change that." "Oh but it is you're going to shoot me if I shoot him." "Yeah shoot you." She says emphasizing shoot "Exactly! You're supposed to attempt to disarm with a shot but we both know you'll kill me." "No I won't." "Yes you will." The un-sub says before moving his finger to the trigger and BANG!...
A shot rang out and the rest of the BAU team rushed in ready to apprehend whoever shot one of their leaders. When they entered the room though they saw Beth kneeling on the floor beside Sam holding pressure on his shoulder while telling him he was going to be okay and the un-sub on the floor in a pool of blood.
"Beth." Gina LaSalle said gently as she walked over to the woman and saw that her gun was on the floor beside her. Gina turned and looked to the rest of the team and motioned to Derek Morgan. As Derek walked over to her Gina told Beth softly "Beth we're gonna call Coop an ambulance." She stopped seeing the other woman's shoulders shaking a little as if she was fighting back tears then continued "Beth we're also going to need your gun." As Gina turned to get up she heard Beth say "Okay." in a small voice.
"Derek." Gina began "Yeah?" "Call an ambulance and tell Emily to get Beth's gun." "Okay." Derek says before going to call the ambulance and tell Emily what to do.
A few hours later
Beth was pacing the hospital waiting room while the rest of the team watched on, by that time Penelope Garcia their Technical Analyst had been informed and was waiting along with everyone else.
Jennifer Jareau or J.J as everyone knew her, was walking back to her seat after having tried to get Beth to stop pacing as everyone else had attempted . Penelope being the only who had not attempted walked over to Beth and placed a hand on her shoulder effectively stopping her movements. When Beth turned her head to glare at whoever had stopped her pacing Penelope noticed tears in her eyes. After noticing this Penelope pulled Beth into a hug where she broke down sobbing.
As Beth was sobbing against her Penelope was whispering soothing words to her.
"Beth he's going to be okay." Penelope said "But what if he isn't Penelope?" "Don't think that." "I can't help it. I can't lose him." "You're not gonna lose him." "P I love him." Beth said in a voice barely loud enough to hear. Understanding dawned on Penelope's face and she led Beth to a chair by the rest of the team. "Hey Beth I understand now try to calm down." "Okay." Beth said as she attempted to stop crying.
After Beth had finally calmed down the doors to the waiting room opened a doctor came out. "Family of Samuel Cooper." He said. Beth jumped up and walked over to the doctor.
"So how is he Doctor?" Beth asked "Well other than a little blood loss he's fine." "Can I see him?" "Yeah I'll take you to his room now." The doctor said as he led Beth to a room.
"Sam." Beth said as she walked in the room "Yeah?" Sam said softly. At Sam's words Beth's face lit up in relief.
"Oh my gosh Sam!" Beth said as she walked over to his bed "Beth?" "Yeah." "Come here." Sam said with his arms open for a hug "I was so worried." "Why? You know I'm not going anywhere." "Yeah but," Beth started only to stop due to tears "Hey Beth stop crying I'm alive, now why were you so worried?" "Sam this is the closest I've ever come to losing you." "It's not just that." Sam said "Damn it. Well Sam we met each other 12 years ago and somewhere along the way I, I,I." "You what?" "Sam I'm in love with you." "Whoa." Sam said as his breath hitched and his heart stopped.
"I'm gonna go." "No!" "Why?" "Beth come here." "Okay." "Beth I have no clue what to say right now-" "Why did you ask me to stay then?" Beth interrupted "Beth can I finish?" "Sure." "As I was saying I have no clue what to say right now because the woman I have loved for so long just told me she's in love with me and my hearts racing." "You ,you love me?" "Yes Beth." Sam said with a smile on his face before he pulled Beth's face to him and kissing her gently.
As she pulled away Beth laughed slightly "Hey why are you laughing?" Sam said "Because who would've thought that we would end up here?" "Huh I guess you're right." "Come here." Beth said as she pulled him in for a lingering kiss.
