A/N: And we are back with the angst and cliffies. Though I can't really be blamed, since the original version of this chapter was very different and then KricketWilliams pre-read it and had this idea of how it could go onwards and it stuck with me, so I re-wrote. So if you want to blame someone, blame her LOL. But than again, I wrote it, so maybe it is my fault entirely.

The flight was a little over eight hours and was smooth. There were no turbulences, no interferences or other stuff, which was good news since Penelope wasn't big into flying. It wasn't as if she had anything close to a fear of flying or got sick all of a sudden, she just wasn't doing too well with the flying part. Especially with touchdowns. But unfortunately the only way of making it to Italy in a normal amount of time was by flying.

They got their bags and wanted to leave the airport, with Morgan talking about them maybe getting together the next day for brunch, or lunch or even dinner, when Penelope all of a sudden stopped in her tracks.

"Mama, what's wrong? You okay?" Morgan asked within seconds when he noticed that Penelope had stopped.

She didn't answer, just stared ahead and Morgan decided on turning around and following her stare, not too pleased with what he saw. In the arrival area stood no one other than Kevin Lynch, in all his nerdiness and with a sign in his hands reading "I'm sorry".

"What the hell?" was all Morgan could say before he noticed Penelope walking all of a sudden again. Walking towards Kevin Lynch.

Before he could reach her again she was already with Kevin, looking at him for a few moments and seeing Kevin smiling. What the hell was going on?

"Penny, love, I'm so sorry, for whatever I said to you. I didn't mean it, any of it. You are … I love you so much and you have always been so good to me and with me. You and me, we were always a perfect fit for each other, do you not agree?" he smiled and Morgan was ready to hit him. She couldn't seriously consider going back to him now, could she?

Penelope just looked at Kevin for a moment, not saying anything. Not being able to say anything. She hadn't really expected that now to be honest. And how did he even know about their return?

"How … how do you know we would be back tonight?" Penelope asked, looking confused. "JJ said she didn't tell anyone when I would be back. She didn't even say anything about where I went to begin with."

"I … know people that can find things," Kevin responded, sounding more like a mix of slight annoyance and defensiveness.

"You hacked an airline system to find me?" she asked astonished, knowing of course fully well that he himself didn't do it. His abilities weren't even anywhere close to that skill-level. He probably had help. And somehow she couldn't help but think it was kind of cute. He actually looked for her. Not that it made things any better. But it was somehow cute, in a weird, twisted way.

All of a sudden she heard someone clearing his throat behind them and turned around. Morgan looked at her less than impressed and a bit curios as of probably what was going on.

"Agent Morgan," Kevin said, nodding, but from his tone of voice it was clear that he wasn't too happy to see the other man. "You … were with Penny in Italy?" Kevin asked surprised.

"Yeah, why? Got a problem with that?" Morgan asked back, taking a step closer towards Penelope and putting a hand softly against Penelope's lower back.

"Um … no, I guess .. that way she was … um … well looked after," Lynch all of a sudden said, looking at Morgan and where he assumed the other man's hand was. He handed Penelope a bouquet of flowers that looked like he just got from a gas station and like they have been standing around there for quite some time already. They didn't even compare to any of the flowers she had gotten during the last few days from Derek.

"Thanks, I guess…" she mumbled, taking the flowers, not sure what to do next. She felt Kevin reaching for her hand and pulling her slowly towards him and then away, towards the exit.

"Kevin, what are you doing?" Penelope asked confused.

"I'm taking you home, Penny," he answered, not looking back at her, and just pulling towards the exit.

"Kevin, stop," Penelope all of a sudden said, after just a few steps. "What is going on with you?" she asked, making him turn around. "I can get home alone, thank you very much. And … we need to talk, I guess. About what happened a week ago. We can't just … ignore it," she went on, seeing from the corner of her eyes that Morgan was slowly starting to walk over to them again.

"It's okay. I forgive you. No worries. We are just postponing the wedding. I get that you got cold feet and just needed to run to see what you actually had going on wasn't bad. You just needed a new perspective." Lynch smiled at her.

Penelope looked around her for a moment, saw Morgan standing behind her, as well as several hundred people around them, walking and running, greeting friends and family from arriving flights. "Let's go home," she said, before walking away behind Kevin Lynch.

The last thing she saw before leaving the airport was Derek Morgan and how truly broke and alone he looked in this very moment. He stared after Penelope and Lynch, seeming lost and not like he just lost a battle, but a war. But Penelope knew what she had to do and what the right thing to do was. And right now it was going with Kevin Lynch.
