Hey guys. Sorry I've been MIA it's been hectic since grandpa died. I took a few hours to write and this is what came out. I hope you all like it.

Mistakes are mine.

…

The day was gloomy and very cloudy. Penelope felt how the day looked. She was trying to be positive because a father no matter who it is, should never be denied seeing their child. She was getting the diaper bag ready and the stroller. Allison had asked where they wanted to meet and Penelope had said the park. She did not want that man in her home after what she had been told weeks ago. Alvez had finished getting Marcello ready and joined her in the family room.

"You okay?" Alvez asked.

"Let's do this," Penelope said as the trio left the house.

Penelope could see Marco and what looked like a social worker. She could tell he was nervous but happy to see his son. Alvez had a serious face but tried to act cool and not wanting to push his face in. When they walked up to Marco, he went straight to pick up Marcello and in seconds Marcello was crying. Penelope was going to take him from him to try and calm him down but Marco took a step back.

"I can do it." He said defensively.

Penelope nodded but stayed in her place.

"You guys can leave. I'm not going to steal him away. Plus she's here to make sure I give him back to you." He said seriously and annoyed.

Penelope and Alvez were unsure of leaving.

"It's okay." The female social worker said.

"Okay," Penelope said and they walked away.

When they got to the car, Alvez noticed tears in Penelope's eyes. "Hey. It's going to be fine."

"No, it's not. I have a feeling we might lose him." She said as tears ran down her eyes.

"Babe..."

"Marce is our son I mean mine and..." she corrected herself nervously.

"You were right the first time Chica." He said softly.

She looked at him hopefully. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yes."

Penelope smiled and leaned in to kiss his lips lightly.

The two hours they waited in the car were endless. They felt the minutes go by so slowly as they watched Marco interact with Marcello. It was clear Marco was struggling a little bit with Marcello since Marcello was giving him a hard time. Surprisingly Marco had a lot of patience and didn't show it if he was frustrated.

When the time was up, the social worker decided to bring back Marcello. Alvez and Penelope got out of the car and smiled seeing Marcello happy to be back with them.

"Same time next week?" The social worker asked.

Penelope sighed unpleased but nodded nevertheless.

"Take care and see you next week."

"Mama," Marcello said.

"Let's go get dinner and head home," Alvez suggested.

"Papa," Marcello said wanting Alvez to pick him up.

Alvez did just that and kissed him on the cheek. "Did you have fun?" He asked even though he knew he wasn't going to get an answer.

The three of them got in the car and left.

Every week like clockwork they met at the park for two months straight. Same routine with Alvez and Penelope waiting in the car. Marco was getting annoyed that he had to be monitored while he spent time with his son and he was getting tired of it. He wasn't a criminal and that's exactly how they were making him feel. He had to suck it up though if he wanted to keep seeing his son and hopefully with good behavior he would finally get full custody.

Penelope and Alvez were watching Marcello and Marco in the park while the social worker watched from the bench. It was the same thing every day so they were not as tensed as they were at the beginning.

"Chica have you ever thought about having kids?" Alvez asked curiously.

Penelope was not expecting that question while they watched Marcello. "Umm"

"I was just wondering." He quickly added.

"I don't know. I honestly didn't think I would have kids cause I'm not getting any younger and then he came into our lives."

"Would you want some?" He asked. "I mean if Marce does go back with his dad."

Penelope didn't like thinking about that. She really didn't want to lose Marcello but she knew there was a big chance she would because she could see how Marco was with the toddler. He was actually nice and patient with his son.

"Maybe. Depends on a lot of things."

"Like what?" Alvez asked.

Penelope glared at him annoyed. "Why are we having this conversation now?"

"Because every time I bring it up you make an excuse and run away." He admitted.

"I do not run away." She said defensively.

Alvez gave her an "are you serious look?".

Penelope sighed and looked straight ahead to where Marcello and Marco were playing but they were no longer there. She got out of the car and walked towards the social worker. "Where are they?"

"Marco took him to the bathroom."

"Alone?" Penelope asked.

"This is the only entrance and exit."

Alvez joined them and the three waited for a few minutes. Alvez looked at his watch and sighed. He glared at the social worker and walked into the bathroom.

"How long have they been in there?" Penelope asked worriedly.

"Not even five minutes."

Alvez walked out of the bathroom fuming. "They're gone." He said as he got his phone.

Penelope's heart started beating really fast.

The social worker looked pale and made a call as well.

Alvez laced back and forth on the phone. "I don't know. They are gone."

Penelope had to sit down or she was going to faint. How could this happen? Everything was going well. She thought things were getting better and now Marco had kidnapped his son. She could stay there and do nothing. She headed to her car and drove away leaving Alvez so asses the area and wait for the BAU.

It didn't take long for her to get to the BAU building. She got to her office and started doing her thing. She was typing faster than she had ever typed before and she was not stopping until she found her son.

Forty-eight hours later and still no sign from Marco and Marcello. Penelope kept on typing and looking at all the possibilities not taking any break.

The door opened and Alvez walked in and stood by her desk. "Babe we need to go home and get some rest."

"I'm working." She said without looking at him.

He sighed and kneeled next to her. "Penelope you haven't left the office in almost three days. You need to recharge. Let me take you home."

"You've done enough." She said.

Alvez did not expect that and stood up crossing his arms. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"If you hadn't distracted me we wouldn't have taken our eyes off him."

"You're saying this is my fault?" Alvez said getting pissed.

Penelope didn't say anything but kept on typing.

Alvez shook his head in disbelief and walked away. "Fine."

Three days later, Penelope had fallen asleep in her couch in the office and slowly opened her eyes. She knew she had to go home and get a change of clothes since she had used the ones she had in her office. She grabbed her things and headed out. As she walked to the elevators she could see Alvez at his desk on the phone. She noticed he glanced at her but didn't acknowledge her at all. She got into the elevators and their eyes stayed on the other until the doors closed.

When Penelope got to her driveway, she stayed in the car for a while. She hadn't been back since Marcello had been kidnapped. She took a deep breath and got out of her car. After unlocking the door and walking inside, her senses went into overdrive and after a week, her legs gave out and finally started to cry. She couldn't hold it in anymore, all of the frustration she had been feeling while she saw her family trying to track Marcello and Marco, the fear of never seeing her boy again, the words she exchanged with Alvez, not being able to track Marco herself came crashing down all at once and she just let go. She wasn't sure how long she had been crying but after a while she felt arms wrapping around her body, picking her up and taking her to the bedroom.

Alvez has seen her walk to the elevators and wanted to go to her but he was trying to give her some space. As the elevator closed, he decided against his better judgment and finished all his work in record time. He needed to be there for her even if she didn't want him to. He grabbed his stuff and headed toward the house. As he walked toward the front door, he could hear her crying and his heart broke for her. He unlocked the door and closed it behind him. He picked her up and took her to the bedroom. He helped her get undressed and after he took off his clothes they were both passed out.

Penelope woke up, glanced at her phone on her nightstand and saw that she had been asleep for 15 hours. She wasn't surprised since she hadn't been sleeping much for the last week. As she turned around she saw Alvez looked at her. She could tell he was also suffering like her and saw the bag under his eyes. He had been crying too. She moved her hand to his cheek and as tears appeared in her eyes she whispered. "I'm sorry."

He pressed his hand against hers on his cheek. "I'm sorry too."

They had fallen asleep once again and slept for another couple of hours. Alvez woke up first and took a shower, as he walked out of the bathroom, Penelope was waking up.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey."

"I'll make us something to eat."

"Okay." She said as she walked to the bathroom and got in the shower. Once she was finished in the bathroom, she put on her robe and headed to the kitchen where Alvez had cooked the food and set the table for the two of them. She sat down on the dining room table but could see the family room and all of Marcello's toys spread around. She got tears in her eyes and sniffled. "I want him back."

"We will get him back Pen. I promise." He said as he joined her.

"He's going to pay for what he's done." She said obviously hating Marco for what he did.

Alvez nodded as he took a bite. "Eat."

Penelope sighed cause she knew she had to eat since she hadn't had a real meal since all of this happened.

Two hours later, Alvez and Penelope were getting their bags ready to go back to headquarters when Alvez' phone went off. "Yea. What? Where? We are on our way. I don't care."

"What?" She asked her heart beating really fast.

"They found them. Marco just booked two train tickets under an alias."

"Does he know we found them?" She asked scared for Marcello.

"No." He said as the two of them left the house.

Marco was holding Marcello in one arm while he had a duffle bag on the other and he was walking to his train. There weren't a lot of people in this train so he got in rather quickly. He got to his seat and put Marcello next to him.

Penelope could see swat closing in on them and she prayed and waited nervously while the rescue went down. Alvez had convinced them to let him help them so he was positioned where he had a direct view to Marcello. Alvez couldn't believe how calm and collected Marco was. Did he really think he was going to get away with this?

An employee from the train approached Marco with a smile. "Sir, may I see your ticket?"

"Of course. Here's my son's as well."

"Thank you. Everything looks good." The employee said and walked away. He walked to the back of the train where a group of the swat team assessed the situation. "I couldn't see a weapon."

"Good job." A member of the swat team said.

Penelope couldn't watch and yet she couldn't keep her eyes away from what was happening.

"It's going to be okay Pen," Prentiss said.

Marco looked at the bathroom and it was literally in front of him. There weren't a lot of people in his cart and saw that Marcello had fallen asleep. He got up and went to the bathroom.

Alvez scoffed. Was he serious? It was going to be this easy rescuing his son? He didn't think about it and went to the cart. He saw Marcello asleep and he opened his jacket to make sure he wasn't attached to anything and looked under the seat no bomb in sight. He picked up Marcello and when he turned around he saw Marco walking out of the bathroom. Marco reacted to slow and without much effort, Alvez punched him. Marco did a one-eighty and fell to the ground. He was in handcuffs in no time.

Penelope was halfway to the train when as Marco was taken away from the scene. She gasped seeing Marcello in Alvez's arms and happy tears ran down her cheeks. "Oh Thank God!" She needed to hold him in her arms and she took a deep breath smelling his scent.

"He was asleep the whole time," Alvez said.

"Thank you," Penelope said and they leaned in to kiss when they were interrupted.

"Excuse me but we need to make sure the boy is all right."

Penelope nodded. "Yes of course."

Alvez and Penelope watched as Marcello was checked from head to toe and made sure he hadn't been hurt. Marcello realized something had happened so he was confused but when he saw Penelope and Alvez he got excited to see them. "Mama! Daddy!" He jumped out of the ambulance and ran to them.

Penelope laughed as he jumped in her arms and hugged him tightly. "Can we take him home?" She asked the paramedics.

"He looks okay to me."

Alvez smiled happily as they headed to the car.

The next day, Penelope was helping Marcello trying to build a tower with fake blocks when there was a knock on the door. She kissed his head and walked to the door. When she opened it she wasn't surprised to see her there. "Allison."
