A/N: I guess this chapter will be partly the stuff everyone has been waiting for, although the next chapter will be the actual interesting one. I was made aware several times – once by a very good friend who always pre-reads everything I write and secondly by my beta – that my signs for Morgan – in this chapter – and Penelope – in the next chapter – are actually not correct. Truth be told, I couldn't find a source that stated the actual birth date – or approximate one – so I just took Shemar's and Kirsten's birthdates.

As for all the info of this chapter, the actual facts are taken from websites that are referenced at the end of the chapter, but the whole texts were still written by me.

There was a silence for a moment, where Morgan wasn't sure whether he should just get up and go. As he had mentioned to Penelope: a total waste of time. At least this time he didn't have to pay for it. Silver lining.

"You are a Taurus, Mr. Morgan. That shows in everything you do. You have a certain stubbornness to yourself, you are an achiever, someone who sets himself goals and does not just plan on reaching them, but exceeding them. It is hard to convince you of anything else once you've made up your mind, which probably would be a problem for me, seeing that you made up your mind about all of this already. You are in control of emotions in a very good way and rarely let anyone see the real you – a characteristic of your sign, Mr. Morgan. But once someone actually makes it through all these walls and through the shell to your inner core, they'll be there forever. Taurus' are known for their loyalty – once you capture their heart they'll stay with you for the rest of their lives and neither of them are Taurus'…"

"Lady, you just described probably half the people I know," Morgan laughed slightly nervous at her and a moment later he felt his hand being pulled forward.

"You have a very distinctive and long life line, which means you will have a long and very fulfilled life, but not yet. You will need to wait a bit more to reach that stage, but once you do, it will be the best time of your life. Your marriage line shows that you will be married once and for the rest of your life, to a woman who loves you very much and would give her everything to proof that to you. Your wife will be someone who you have known for quite a time by the time you'll get married and it is not who you think it will be. It is the one who you secretly want and will have eventually. And she might be a lot closer than you think," she said, tracing with her fingers up and down Morgan's hand, who still looked not very impressed.

Penelope watched the whole thing with very high interest. Sure, maybe what that old woman was saying was probably what everyone wanted to hear and what might happen to most people, but when she was talking about that last part, the woman that would become Derek's wife eventually – if that would happen to begin with – she didn't miss the moment when she looked up from Morgan's hand and right at Penelope. Yeah, sure, as if that was ever about to happen.

"You are going to have kids, three sons and a daughter and you will have them soon in your marriage. Your fate line is broken…"

"Does that mean my fate is about to change?" he asked jokingly, winking at Penelope.

"No Mr. Morgan, it means there will be an event in your life that will seem impossible to conquer, but when you do you will emerge stronger and more powerful. There will be a change of job for you. You still stay within the same line of work, but in a different position. A more powerful position, with a lot more responsibility – a responsibility you are very well able to manage. Your heart line tells me you had your heart broken a few times already, a long time ago, back in College, High School even, but fear not, there will be no more heartbreak for you in the immediate future. You will gain new friends and be reunited with old ones. Your health line tells me nothing you wouldn't already know. There is nothing for you to worry there, you are in excellent condition and your health line builds a perfect union with your head and heart lines – which means your mind, body and spirit are aligned perfectly and act in union."

"I take it that is a good thing," Morgan commented dryly. "I'm not sure how that is supposed to be a good thing, or what it means to begin with, but…. thank you…."

"Your hand shape is Earth, which equals a certain practicality and responsibility. You love to work with your hands and you have solid values in life. Long fingers usually mean you are very skilful with them, in a working manner as well as a sexual way. You like to bring pleasure to your companion – the more the better. You take great pride in your achievements – whether may that be in a relationship or your general life. And you definitely take a certain pride in your line of work. You are a bit of an adventure-seeker, but be careful that you don't seek too much of it. Too much of a good thing is never good."

"Well… that isn't … cryptic at all…"

"Mr. Morgan… I have a feeling even if I was about to provide you with a list of times, dates and places you still wouldn't believe it, so… why don't we just move on to her?" Madame Tuillerie asked, looking at Penelope who all of a sudden had a feeling like she should maybe flee.

"Oh…. I really don't want to know my future. I'm the kind of…. see what happens when it happens kind of girl," Penelope smiled uneasily, but apparently now seemed to be the first time that Morgan actually looked like he was about to have some fun. Great, now he liked this?

"Good idea, let's see what Penelope's future holds in store for her…."
