Talk me straight, repair these bones

Open my eyes, and take me home

Bring my feet back down to the ground

Say our goodbyes and leave this town

-Liquid Luck - Hearts Under Fire

He was ready to go home. After two long weeks in a small, dusty, back of the woods town in which a sexual sadist was wrecking havoc, there was nothing Morgan wanted more then to just leave. Well, that's not true. There was one thing he wanted more then just leaving...

His baby girl.

His sweet sunshine could brighten any day and right now that's what he really wanted, what he really needed. He needed Penelope's smile, her playful teasing, her soothing words to take away the metaphorical dirt and grime. He just needed her. Because she was his haven and she was his home.

Packing up his bags, saying a few last words to the local sheriff, and finally heading off to the plane was a good feeling. But the phone call he got as he stepped onto the jet was even better. It wasn't the same as holding her in his arms and seeing her beautiful smile, but it was something at least. Her sweet voice calmed his nerves, grounded him, and guided his weary soul home.


A/N: More coming up!
