Future Reincarnation of a Lost Love

2

This is a sequel to my original story that was actually started more than two years ago, right after the first one. Unfortunately, as happens far to often I got writer's block, that held for a long time. One day a few months back I went back and reread what I had written and I managed to add to what was already there, until finally I managed to finish it. This is something I'm quite proud o as usually a story that is so old never gets finished, but occasionally it does happen. Please leave plenty of positive reviews, but if you read this and genuinely don't like then the least you can do is be constructive in your criticism instead of just writing something negative and nasty just because you can and you like to tear others down.

Let me remind everyone that this is a work of fiction and is not meant to be based on anything real, not even really on the shows timeline. If you are expecting that then I suggest you don't read it, because this comes straight out of my imagination and is based on my favorite characters. I suggest you read the first one if you have not already read it or this one will make a lot less sense.

Part 1

200 years later

Penelope whistled cheerfully finding it hard to believe that she and Dave had been together for over 200 years, as the decades had passed incredibly fast. Both of them had continued to work with the BAU for another 50 years before they retired and in those 50 years they'd had over 30 children as they had multiples every single time. This was something that Dave had found astonishing, because having werewolf blood or not before she was changed still did not explain exactly why they kept having twins or triplets. They had finally decided that it was because Penelope was a witch and that she still had her powers despite now being a vampire, even though she rarely used them, that was the cause of it. It didn't really matter because multiples might be extremely rare for a vampire to have, but that did not mean that it did not happen sometimes. In the decades since her and Dave's retirement from the BAU they'd had another 140 children to make a total of 263 altogether as they came along every few years, as normally somewhere between three to five years would pass before they'd have their next set of multiples, which was normally twins and a few times triplets.

She and Dave had been very happy together for over two centuries and had traveled in Italy after their retirement and only come back to the States in the last 20 years after living in Italy for more than 100. Penelope had finally met Dave's mother and father and quite a few of his siblings and they had met her and the two of them had spent quite awhile with Dave's family before moving on.

Also in the two centuries they had been together Dave had showered her with expensive gifts particularly for her birthday, anniversary, Valentine's Day and also each time she got pregnant. Her mate never missed a trick, but of course neither did she and she also bought him expensive gifts now that she had the funds for it.

In the last 200 years they had adopted quite a few werewolf children that nobody wanted because of their condition, usually when they were in between having children of their own. Sometimes though it happened when they were in the midst of having them or already had, so when you counted those, the children they'd had was closer to 300 and all those children had decided to be turned into vampires once they had reached the age of 35. Those children would have been reviled if people discovered what they were and they'd rather live forever and be a little bit more accepted into society then hated and Penelope and Dave could certainly understand their decision. She and Dave were both happy to turn their children that were not born vampires, so that they would never lose them to death and every single one of her and Dave's children whether adopted or born to them visited their parents frequently and she and Dave were always happy to see them.

Penelope thought about her sister and Aaron and how they kept in contact with her and Dave and that made her happy for most of her siblings had died a few decades ago and although she still visited their children and grandchildren frequently, she still missed every single one of her brothers and sisters, which was only natural she knew.

Penelope continued to get ready for the date that Dave was taking her out on tonight, so she picked out a slinky navy blue dinner dress and slipped it over her body and picked out appropriate jewelry that had sapphires instead of her favorite rubies. Penelope now had the Rossi crest with every single gem that was in existence, so that she could accessorize with whatever she was wearing. She had necklaces, rings and bracelets with not only rubies, but emerald, sapphires, opals, pearls, jade, alexandrite, amber, aquamarine, carnelian, diamond, garnet, hematite, lapis lazuli, jasper, onyx, peridot, various colors of tourmaline, turquoise and tanzanite. She now could honestly say that she had so much jewelry that she had three large jewelry boxes full and most of it was worth a fortune, but at the very least she could now accessorize with whatever she wore. She really loved all the jewelry that Dave had given her, she only wished that he didn't shower her with so much of it, as there had to be close to $10 million in just what she had in jewelry alone. And that didn't even include all her very expensive clothes from name brands that she had never been able to afford more than the occasional outfit or one of their handbags as her clothes were all designer now. Well, there was nothing she could do about it, as there was no point in arguing with Dave, so she didn't bother to try, since she'd never win anyway and even though she loved every single thing that Dave had given her that didn't mean she needed them to be happy. She did appreciate the fact that Dave was always thoughtful and that he usually had flowers for her at least once a month and that he didn't buy her jewelry, except for things like birthdays and anniversaries, but when you had been together for 200 years well she still had an enormous amount of it

"Ready to go, kitten?" Dave asked, as he came into the bedroom from where his mate had been getting ready. "You look absolutely gorgeous," Dave told her looking at his mate appreciatively and indeed she did, with her blond hair pinned up on the top of her head just a couple of tendrils escaping on either side to hang down just in front of her ears, her beautiful brown eyes no longer needing glasses to see clearly and hadn't ever since she had been turned into a vampire two centuries before. The two of them complemented each other for Penelope was just a right height to fit comfortably under his chin when he held her in his arms and he was handsome while Penelope was gorgeous, though he knew his wife would disagree with that statement. She would reverse it he knew and say that he was gorgeous while she was merely pretty. However, since he wasn't going argue the point out loud he made sure that his appreciation of his wife's body was obvious in his gaze, whenever he looked at her. He never wanted her to believe for a second that he didn't adore her and love her so deeply that he knew he would never stop for as long as he lived. He knew that Penelope still had doubts about how he felt about her despite her previous incarnations memories and their 200 years together and he had no idea what to do to banish those doubts completely, although he knew it came from the fact that women tended to drape themselves all over him, even when he never asked for it. It wasn't that Penelope doubted his loyalty to her, because thanks to the mate bond his wife knew that he would never love anyone else in that way. He knew that it just annoyed her that women continued to try to get his attention, even when she was with him and even though he got rid of them usually pretty quickly. Of course Penelope didn't realize that men tended to look at her appreciatively as well and had even tried to approach her a few times, but he usually just glared at them when Penelope wasn't looking and they backed off quickly. Of course, when he wasn't with her it was a different matter entirely.

"So are you going to tell me where we're going? And why we had to get all dressed up?" asked Penelope.

"Can't I take my gorgeous wife out of the date without her questioning my motives?" Dave asked neatly sidestepping the question.

"It's not your motives I question, as I know very well what goes through your head all the time," Penelope told Dave who chuckled because it was true. "It's the fact that you feel as if you have to surprise me, when I'd just rather know where we are going."

"You should be used to surprises by now," Dave said.

"I should be," Penelope agreed kissing his cheek. "It doesn't mean however, that I like to be surprised."

"The only reason you don't like to be surprised is, because you like to know everything, since you are the goddess of information. You hate the anticipation of waiting for the surprise to arrive, which is another reason why you hate them," Dave said.

Dave had her pegged, but then that wasn't really surprising considering that they had known each other for two centuries and he had been a profiler and the skills didn't disappear just because you stopped using them every day. Really, profiling was just part of him and he was likely always profiling people silently without really meaning to, as it's not like he could turn it off, so he never got out of practice. Really, it as just observing people and how they interacted with others and it had alerted them to trouble more then once over the years.

"It won't be long before it won't be a surprise anymore and the anticipation will be worth it," Dave added. "A little anticipation never killed anyone."

"So says you," Penelope said arguing with him playfully, as she wasn't really mad at him, but then again you couldn't stay mad at David Rossi for very long or at least she couldn't as she loved him too much. Besides, every couple argued, even mates and for her and Dave they were mostly not too serious and often playful which led to then having some spectacular sex.

"You'll survive," Dave said grinning a little, as he enjoyed these little arguments with his Penelope.

"So whose car we taking tonight? Mine or yours?" Penelope asked for she really did love the little red sports car that Dave had given her for their anniversary a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, cars did have to be replaced every five or six years, so she'd had a series of cars over the centuries all red. This one though was truly spectacular and was painted a dark red and she loved how it handled so easily and how she could go from 0 to 300 miles an hour all in the space of 10 seconds flat. Of course, the only time she used the full speed was out on the back roads where there were hardly ever any cars and due to her vampire reflexes she had never crashed into a tree. If she did happen to see another car she could avoid it easily, because for one thing all cars nowadays had a hover feature and most traffic in this century was up in the sky instead of on solid ground.

Dave easily heard the eagerness in his mate's voice and so said, "We can take yours if you like."

"Good," Penelope said in satisfaction, as she hugged him quickly and kissed his cheek hurrying to the garage where her beautiful dark red Porsche was stored, Dave joining her momentarily.

"You really like your anniversary present huh?" Dave asked with smug satisfaction in his voice.

"You know I do," Penelope told him with a grin. "I never owned anything so fancy before you and I met. There's no way I could have afforded something like a Mustang or a Porsche or a Ferrari, not on my salary with the FBI, not even with my extra income of selling potions on the side."

"You really need to be a vampire to use a machine like this to its full capabilities," Dave said climbing into the driver's seat.

"You need to be a vampire to have the reflexes not to crash if you do use the full capabilities," Penelope corrected.

"I stand corrected," Dave said with a grin, as he started the engine.

The two of them continued to banter playfully, as Dave drove to their destination and it was fifteen minutes later when Penelope realized where they were going, when they were only a few blocks away.

"How did you get tickets to this Leighann Sullivan's art show?" Penelope asked her mate in astonishment. "They've been all sold out for months now."

"I have my ways," Dave said mysteriously refusing to explain if only because he knew Penelope would go off on him if she discovered the large donation and that he had contributed to this particular artist in order to get two extra tickets for him and his mate. Penelope still didn't fully understand that he had more money than God as his investments made money and a $50,000 dollar donation had allowed him to get two extra tickets for him and his wife. It wasn't that Penelope didn't understand that he had more money than he could ever spend no matter how many expensive presents he bought for her, it was just that she didn't like him spending so much of it on her, as she worried that he would run out even if that wasn't really possible.

Or perhaps the problem was she believed that he would come to resent spending so much money on her, even though he truly didn't mind. Of course, Dave knew at least part of the real reason that she protested whenever he did something too extravagant for her and that was because she felt that she didn't deserve so many expensive presents and also because of her upbringing which had been one of moderation. Despite her memories of her first incarnation, he suspected that she felt that he would eventually come to the resent dropping so much of his hard earned cash on presents for her, even though he loved spoiling her rotten and if he didn't he wouldn't do it, it was as simple as that.

His, Penelope had made his life so much happier and when her previous incarnation had died in his arms he had nearly killed himself despite his promise to survive for her. He had led an absolutely miserable existence, until he had again met his mate that first morning at the BAU just over 200 years ago now and there was no way in hell he would ever resent her or stop enjoying showering her with presents, just to show her how much he truly loved her.

Really though, nowadays her protesting was more of an automatic response and they really didn't argue too much about it, if only because Penelope was well aware that she'd never win. Besides, he knew that she secretly loved all the presents he got her, whether it was jewelry or an expensive car or tickets to an art show that she had wanted to go to for months.

Over the last 100 years Penelope had discovered an appreciation for the arts that she had never had before if only because she had never really had the time to go to such things, and they now owned multiple paintings from various artists, that were hanging in the various homes they owned all over the world. Dave suspected that he would be doing the same tonight and buying whatever suited his wife's fancy and he didn't particularly care if it was a couple of million dollars, as it was a good investment for one thing and he knew his wife would enjoy whatever painting it was, for decades and even centuries to come.

Art never went out of style as a lot of artists like da Vinci, Picasso and van Gogh were still worth millions of dollars even today.

"I suspect I know what you had to do to get a couple of extra tickets," Penelope said finally speaking just as Dave was looking for a parking spot. "I should yell at you for spending so much money on me, but I know it'll do no good so I won't bother and just tell you thank you."

"You should be used to me spending money on you by this point in time considering we've been together for just over two centuries," Dave told her with a smug grin. "Besides, what is mine is yours, which is a concept you have never truly understood or you wouldn't argue with me about all the money I spend on you.

"As I have explained to you before that anything your heart desires that is possible for me to give you, you shall receive, simply because I love you. Couples give each other presents all the time and it doesn't really matter how much those gifts are since most couples don't have our vast wealth and I've never really seen a point of having money if I don't spend it.

"What you fail to understand is that we can't just live like a normal couple, because life would quickly become boring if we did, since we live forever, so we have to find ways to make it exciting or at least not stagnant. Even those humans with money like to spend it, even if it's mostly on themselves.

"Me, on the other hand, prefers to donate large chunks of it to charity and also use it to buy you anything your heart desires. Yes, we've had numerous children and each one has a trust fund set up for them and we teach them how to invest their money wisely. However, even with that expense it barely puts a dent in what both of us have together as a couple, since we're always investing our money after you do the research to make sure it's a good one.

"I haven't made a bad investment ever since you and I found each other, because you know how to truly research and find out all a companies dirty little secrets and whether or not it's a good investment or it they are on the verge of failing and going out of business. The two of us are an unbeatable team when it comes to investing anyway and since you know exactly how much between the two of us we are worth you shouldn't mind when I buy you something expensive.

"Besides, you're lucky I stop myself from buying you expensive presents every month or so and I mostly only do it on your birthday, our anniversaries, Valentines Day and whenever you get pregnant, which are all events that are special and should be made memorable. Besides every couple buys their partner presents on their birthday and anniversary even if they are not ultraexpensive," Dave lectured.

Penelope sighed and rolled her eyes if only because she knew that Dave was correct and he only really spoiled her a few times a year, technically, anyway. However, he was always taking her out on dates, or buying her anything she wanted, but then she did the same for him and never forgot his birthday or their anniversary, so she supposed it evened out. A little anyway.

"You just wait until you've been alive for a thousand years and you'll find that the little things I do for you and you do for me make our existence worth living. We're not like mortals that only have a set number of years before they die and go to the other side and you have failed to grasp that concept deep in your heart, even if your brain understands. We can't get set in a routine, because that quickly gets boring after 50 or 60 years or sooner, which is why both of us try to be spontaneous at least as much as we can be," Dave explained yet again.

"It's why we pick up and move every few decades," Penelope murmured finally understanding the point that Dave was trying to gently make. "Why we travel, so extensively."

"Precisely," Dave agreed. "We'll likely live in most cities in the world at some point in our existence, likely more than once too. We only stayed in Italy for so long, because my parents hadn't seen me in the last 700 years. I should have gone back for a visit much sooner, but they would have immediately noticed how sad and despondent I was and I would've had to explain exactly what had occurred, not something I wanted to do. Besides, it gave my parents an opportunity to get to know my mate and for you to get to know them."

"I wouldn't have minded staying in Italy even longer, as it really is a fascinating country," said Penelope.

"Yes, it is and its history is ancient and deep, as it has been around much longer then the United States," Dave agreed. "We can go back someday, but it was time to move on and we both agreed that it was. We'll go back to visit my parents maybe in another 50 or 60 years."

"So we've been here in New York for over 20 years now, and is still a fascinating city," Penelope said.

"Yes, it is, but we'll likely move sometime in the next 10 years or so and live somewhere else and whether that somewhere in the States or overseas is yet to be determined."

"We could try living in California for awhile as most my family still lives there," Penelope suggested. "Yes, my siblings died a few years ago, all except for Persephone of course, but we have make sure to keep in contact with the Garcias and most of them still live in the same city where I was born."

"Yes, you are still a member of that family and we have visited them a few times over the centuries," Dave agreed. "I don't know why we can't live in Los Angeles for a few decades, to be close to your family, since we lived in Italy for over 100 years just to be close to mine. We'll make a decision together sometime in the next decade."

Dave opened the door for his mate and helped her alight and then the two of them on arm in arm walked the couple of blocks to the big grand hotel where the art show was.

~~~Penelope and Dave~~~

"I really enjoyed that," Penelope told Dave even as the two walked arm in arm towards their car. "I never imagined I would appreciate art so much back when I was still mortal and working at the BAU, but that's probably only because I knew I couldn't afford to buy any of it."

"Sometimes, all it takes to creating an art lover is for them to go to something like an art show, or to a museum to view the wonderful paintings that they have," Dave said. "A lot of people really don't appreciate history, unless they have actually lived it like I have. Back when I was born they barely knew what art was and I've lived through the Renaissance and actually met Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Of course at the time you never know what's going to catch peoples fancy or which artists are going to be remembered forever his or her art immortalized. I am not saying that da Vinci on Michelangelo or Raphael or any other famous artists were not great men or women as the case might be, just that you never know if they're going to be forgotten or remembered until after they're already dead. Of course, in da Vinci's case he was more then a painter, but also an inventor and the concept of helicopters, airplanes and flying in general came from drawings he had made. Many of the things that are so common place today came from his mind and the technology that didn't exist back when I was born, thanks to the inventiveness of the human race has made a lot of concepts at one time thought impossible, a reality. Back when da Vinci was born in the technology just didn't exist to make his drawings and a lot of his concepts real."

"You really make history come alive and it makes me wish that I had lived back when da Vinci did," Penelope said wistfully.

"You would have been alive at the same time Leonardo da Vinci was if not for your father," Dave growled, as the subject of her past life was still a rather sensitive subject for him, but then considering that Penelope's former incarnation had died in his arms due to her father Penelope couldn't really blame Dave for that. Due to the subject being so sensitive though the two of them rarely discussed it, as they both preferred to just think ahead instead of dwelling on the past and what might have been.

"That's true," Penelope told Dave gently, even as she gave his arm squeeze, "and I know your life wasn't exactly very pleasant until we met again, but it truly was an accident. Yes, if my father, had just accepted the inevitable you and I would've been together for 800 years instead of just 2 centuries, but you also have to see it from his point of view. He had already lost his wife and his infant daughter, my sister, and he was still grieving even years later, as he was deeply in love with my mother. Her death devastated him and when you came around showing interest in me he felt like he was losing me as well, as he knew that I wouldn't stick around once you and I were married. It wasn't that he didn't want to see me happy, he just wanted me to settle in the area, so we would still see each other frequently, but he knew that with your money, as most vampires were extremely wealthy even back then, that we wouldn't stick around such a small village and that you would take me away from him. Of course, his hatred of vampires also played a part in his actions, but I truly believe that it was mostly the thought of losing me that caused him to hate you so intensely. He never even looked at another woman, as he was still grieving for my mother, even though she had been dead for 18 years and I know that the thought of losing me drove his actions, even if that was to marriage and not to death."

"It might explain his actions at the time, but I'll still never forgive him, mostly because I'm not able to forget all those lonely centuries, before you came back to me," Dave said vehemently. "I'm sure he knew exactly what kind of torture he would put me through if he denied me access to you. He might not have meant to kill you and it might very well have been an accident, but he tried to deliberately come between us and it's that that I cannot forgive him for. I know he's been dead more than 800 years and I truly hope he's rotting in hell. If I hadn't been such a gentleman I just would have stolen you away once I saw your father's reaction to me and we would have been long gone before he discovered you were missing. We would've been at least 200 miles away by morning."

Penelope made no comment, because she knew she wouldn't change Dave's opinion and she at least partially agreed with him, even though he had been her father in her first life and she had loved him. Her father had let his hatred of vampires at that time get the better of him instead of just accepting the situation. He hadn't bothered to try to get to know Dave and see that she was happy with him and instead allowed his anger and hate to overcome him, which had eventually led to her death some months later.

Penelope realized that back then things were very different and that the man of the family had final authority over any females whether they were daughters, sisters or nieces, but most magicals just wanted their children to be happy. Normally, they didn't particularly care who their females relatives married, so long as they were sure that the man truly loved them and would treat them well, which had been true even back when her first incarnation had first been born.

"I truly believed that I could win your father over but it didn't work out that way," Dave admitted, "as his hatred of vampires just ran to deep."

"Let's not talk about it anymore, as it doesn't do any good to dwell on what ifs," Penelope suggested not unsympathetically. "We are together now and I've never doubted for a moment that you love me, even if I don't like how women fling themselves at you, even when I'm standing or sitting right beside you. Yes, I'm well aware that's a vampire's allure, even if it's not as strong ever since older vampires, like yourself started drinking that artificial stuff, but woman try to get your attention all to frequently, even if you politely brush them off."

"So where do you want to go now?" Dave asked after he opened the passenger door to their car for his mate. "We don't necessarily have to go home, since we don't need to sleep or we can go home if you want it doesn't really matter to me so long as we are together."

"Why don't we go to a bar and have a few drinks, one of those that is open 24 hours since it's just after 1 o'clock in the morning," Penelope said looking at her very nice and expensive watch that had sapphire accents on both the watch face and the band. She had watches with every type of stone and color, so that she had something to match whatever she wore. "We don't have any children to worry about, and in fact it's been just you and me for the last 20 years. Come to think of it, we haven't had any children, since we moved back to the States, but we both know it will happen at some point so we might as well enjoy ourselves before it does."

"I'm actually surprised that we haven't had any since we certainly practice enough," Dave smirked, even as he sat in the passenger seat letting Penelope drive. "We haven't been doing anything different from what's normal after all and I certainly haven't been using protection so it's kind of surprising."

"Well, it's kind of nice to have had a break," Penelope said. "I love every single one of the children we've had naturally and also the ones we've adopted, but it's nice with it just being you and me for a change. You're right when you say that we will have more children in the future, because the only way to permanently end having them it is to have one of us made sterile, like removing my womb for instance."

"Neither one of us is ready to go to those lengths just so we don't have anymore children," Dave denied vehemently.

"I didn't say that I was ready, just that down the road, I might want to have myself made sterile so that I can't have anymore, but that day is not now," Penelope denied. "Even if I do have myself made sterile that does not mean that we can't adopt more werewolf children just that we won't have anymore of our own. You have more then fulfilled my dream about having a large family, because I always wanted at least five or six children, but I had given up hope of ever having any of my own, because having sex outside of marriage is one thing, but having children are an entirely different matter."

"And yet we had our first set of triplets before we tied the knot," Dave teased her and Penelope laughed, as this was just one of those old jokes that refused to die.

"I knew we were going to be together for eternity, so having children outside of marriage didn't matter so much, as I've told you every time you decide to tease me about it," Penelope told him with a smile, even as she continued to navigate the car through the streets of New York that were still extremely busy even at 1 o'clock in the morning, but then this was the city that never slept. "Besides, I remember my first incarnation's intense desire to have a child by you and yes, she was pregnant when she died in your arms, but that baby never had a chance to even be born much less live their life."

"If I'd only had that child to raise perhaps I wouldn't have been so lonely," Dave said. "Yes, I'd had plenty of children before you and I met all those centuries ago now, but those children weren't as special to me as the one that never had a chance to be born, simply because your previous incarnation was my mate, just as you are. Your mate's children are always more special than any others you have before that, not that you don't love all your children, just that ones by your mate are extra special."

"Why don't we go dancing?" Penelope suggested suddenly, "we haven't been dancing in awhile."

"That's sounds like a fine idea," Dave immediately approved. "The fact that I get to hold you in my arms while we dance the night away is just an added bonus."

"And the sex afterwards is always spectacular," Penelope suggested with a grin of her own, as she remembered those times.

"Another reason I approve," Dave said with a wide grin. "It's not that we don't fuck each other senseless, sometimes for days at a time, but there's something special about doing it after we've been dancing and holding onto each other all night and the sex tends to be more wild and inspired, which has to do with our emotions at the time I know."

Penelope simply laughed glad to see that she had succeeded in getting her mate's mind off the past, as it wasn't good for anybody to dwell on things that could not be changed, although it was okay to think about it occasionally just not dwell on it, but in some portion of his soul Dave would grieve for the loss of her previous incarnation and their unborn child forever. She didn't hold that against him at all nor did she believe that it made him love her any less and in fact she suspected that Dave cherished her even more then he would have if not for what happened so long ago.
