AN: Alright so Cassie and I were talking (Sick of it yet? :D) and I suddenly came up with this brilliant plan for a story! *turns to Cassie* We really need to talk about things other than Criminal Minds *sees nod* We won't though, it's the most entertaining thing in our lives, unless you count the sarcasm that I spit out during CPR recerts. Let me tell you, if you are not CPR certified and don't need to be… DO NOT DO IT! Lol… that was my public safety announcement! I'm sure my FBI agent friends are now glaring at me for that one… whoops! Alright so now that this AN is going to be longer than the chapter, about the story! So Cassie has Life Ever Changing (LEC) and that goes through all the episodes and deals mostly with their relationship. Well that's what this is going to be only with Dave and my OC, Katie. *sees friends and family dying of laughter* Ignore them. Anyway, so a BIG thanks to Cassie for letting me steal her idea once again! You rock! You all rock for reading! Thanks!

PS- I normally don't do OCs for Criminal Minds because there is a certain order to my madness, so I am just going to apologize now if my OC sucks!

Disclaimer: I only own my OC Katie for now ;)

Katie stood tapping her foot, arms across her chest as she heard the key enter the lock. She had the pleasure of a phone call from Aaron Hotchner. Aaron had been a friend of Dave's for years and when Dave married Katie, Aaron had been the best man. Katie and Aaron had become best friends. This was Dave's first case back after he had sold his soul to the Devil, aka Jason Gideon, and had gone back to fill the old man's spot on the team.

"Honey I'm home" Dave joked as he entered. Katie was pissed. Not only had she gotten a phone call from not Aaron, but Agent Hotchner, but it wasn't a nice phone call either.

"Can it Dave" she snapped. Dave winced as he closed the door and locked it up tight. Although, he thought, if I keep this up I'll be sleeping on the couch. "You couldn't have listened to Aaron, once?" she yelled. Dave sighed. He knew what had happened. "You are an adult Dave, not some kid at school. I felt like I was a mom and had just gotten a call from the school principal. Honestly Dave" she chastised. Dave sighed and moved closer. He set his hands on her hips and brought her closer, watching the anger and stress melted out of her body as she wrapped herself around his body. She missed him. She was scared she was going to lose him and honestly, she didn't know how to move on from that.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not used to taking orders and group thinking" he said. Katie pulled away from him and stormed off. He just wasn't getting it.

"Either leave now before you do anymore damage or learn to be a team player" Katie yelled out. Dave sighed. He knew she was having a difficult time with things, but knew this was who he was and nothing would change that. Not that she would want him to change. Just like there was nothing that was going to change who she was as a firefighter. She mostly stayed at the station and controlled the paperwork, but occasionally she would run a call with the crew. Those moments when she tells him scares him. Never before had he had a woman that was so brave. They respected each other's jobs and wouldn't ask them to change for the world, but they still worried about each other.

"I am a team player" he said. Katie turned and glared at him. Fire really was her element.

"No otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that call from Aaron asking if I could talk to you to tell you to share your findings with the others Dave" she said. Dave dropped his head. He did have to admit that he was a real jerk this case and if it was way back when he and Jason and Max had started the unit, he never would have pulled some of the stunts he pulled today. "I get it Dave, there's a nagging part of you that has those trust issues because one person screwed you over, you don't allow many others in. I get that and you know I do, but that has to stop. You retired because of Max, you won't have to see him again and you want this. You want this job back" she said, stepping up to him.

"I do Katie, I really do. It's sick and twisted, but I missed doing this" he said. Katie smiled slightly. This and the sarcastic side of him were the parts that she saw of him. She loved him and had seen his other sides, but not directed towards her.

"Come show me what a team player you are" she said, tugging his hand as she started down the hallway. Dave grinned as she walked into the bedroom and turned on the lights. "Mr. Rossi, you haven't kept me waiting a day in our 5 years of marriage, are you really going to start now?" she teased. Dave licked him lips and walked forward.

"Never" he smiled. He walked inside and saw Katie waiting for him. As he crawled closer she stopped him.

"Nu uh uh! Nope, not until you go call Hotch and apologize and tell him it won't happen again or you will end up as his permanent house guest" she said. Dave smiled and blew her a kiss before turning and heading for the door. He stopped and turned.

"How do you feel about a house guest?" he asked. Katie sat up and looked at him in confusion. He smiled and knocked on the door frame, laughing quietly to himself. "Apparently didn't tell you he and Haley are getting a divorce" he said. Katie sat straight up.

"Hubby say wha?" she asked. Dave laughed as she scrambled for the nearest phone. "That man better be coming to stay in one of these guest rooms or so help me, I will personally go after him with an axe" she muttered. Dave laughed. Oh this was going to be so much fun. "Aaron Hotchner!" Katie yelled into the phone. Dave chuckled as he walked towards her. "You my fine furry friend are coming to live here with us" she announced.

"I think you and Garcia are on the same drugs" Hotch stated. Katie pouted slightly and then grinned.

"Probably" she said nodding. Oh boy, what he loved about her.
