AN: this is ending. I wanted to go in so many different directions with this but I felt it would have drawn it out and that's boring. In the summary I implied that only one would thrive from this experience. I think it's safe to guess who does what but I wanted to show that true heartache can have two opposite outcomes and maybe the one who seem so unfazed by it initially would in the long run be the one most haunted by it; the perceived "weak one" would be the one made stronger and love fiercely because of it.

Penelope's POV

I honestly never expected this life. I've seen so much beauty from around the world. Santi and I traveled the world together. We ventured it together and now we were going on our next huge adventure today- marriage.

Emily had helped me plan and she took on maid of honor duties even though she was 5 months pregnant. She had been a lifesaver, my personal life guard when I felt like I was drowning.

I was in my dressing room, finishing my make up when Rossi came in speaking, "Kitten, 5 minutes you ready?" with a smile as he saw her.

"Never have I been more ready!" I jumped with glee to hug him, as I continued getting teary eyed, "Dave, thank you for every single thing. Your support, your friendship, and for walking me down the aisle."

"Kitten, no thanks necessary. You are like a daughter to me. I'm happy for you and Z. You both deserve this and million times more. Now let's go before I cry." He said with a teasing tone.

Morgan's POV

I know I shouldn't be here, but damn me because I still crashed this celebration. I needed to see this. If she really went through it. I sat all the way in the back. No one from the team had seen me. The music started and I saw JJ, Alex, walk down the aisle in their long teal satin dresses. Next was Emily, pregnant and glowing, she wore a knee length teal dress with white flower petals embroidered on the bottom. Then, my breathe hitched as she came in with Rossi by her side. She looked radiant, her dress was long satin and lace over, it fit her curves perfectly, her hourglass figure. It was open in the back and embroidered as well with flowers. Her beautiful blonde hair was in curls, flowing down her back with subtle hints of petals in her hair. She had no veil but it didn't matter, she was perfect. I couldn't help but wish it was me who was waiting for her, as I looked at Mr Universe- with a huge smile and love written all over his face.

I watched as Rossi gave her hand to him and they really did look so in love, as if no one was around, and with that my heart pinged with hurt.

Then I heard their vows and I cried with no shame.

Garcia went first, "I didn't truly know what love was till I met you. This- our hands intertwined, holding each other in the smallest way- is love. You have my heart, and I know with you it is safe. I feel like we've know each other for years, because we are so connected. You read me so well and I to you. I love you, words do no justification. I feel like even shouting it isn't enough. I promise to hear you even when I don't want too. I promise to speak even when words feel like they have failed us. I promise to be there in sickness and health. I promise to be there whether we're flat broke or uber rich. I can promise you this with beyond certainty to never break this tie, because I love you with my heart, body and soul"

With that my eyes teared up but what her soon to husband said, "You are my Luna. You brought me light in the darkness. You know parts of my soul I was even afraid to acknowledge. Loving you has always been my priority because you saved me. You didn't know it, but your laughter is music to my soul. I love you, con todo que tengo en mi corozon. I can't wait to show you everyday why I'm so happy you are my wife. I will be there whenever you need, want or can't stand me, because we are going to get through anything together."

I lost it. I lost her. She really does bring light into your would. She illuminates parts of you, you hate. It finally dawned on me, I loved her but I was stupid. Now she's happy and she's happy with him. I walked out. Rossi had seen me, and he didn't look angry- his face said- sorry but it's too late. She didn't even notice I was ever there...
