A/N: Here it is! The End!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Epilogue -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Brad Henry said once that "Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter."

Penelope Morgan now valued family to the extreme. Her family had grown over the years, gone were the worries of having no one to the excitement of its ever expanding number. Family to her was one full of unique, individual, nut cases that she couldn't help but love more and more with each passing day. She no longer found it a concern that she had no real family in California or anywhere else for that matter, her family was stretched from Chicago to Quantico. Proof that blood was not in all cases thicker than water.

It was as she looked into the face of her smiling son, or into the calm eyes of her husband that she realised that life started with the family that you gained and her family gained was all down to Derek Morgan. From one man she gained a mom, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, a whole abundance of men and women that loved her for her and no one else.

Even years on, with her own family growing she was still held in high values from the Morgan's, the day she gave herself over for one of them would hang on her like a cloak for the rest of her life and she'd be valued for how she'd made her step into their family. From that day she was acclaimed member and everyday she realised how much family she'd had all along. Her family was more than the usual two families joined together.

She smiled as Derek ran a hand over her bulging pregnant stomach and she watched Reid do physics magic, while JJ fussed over one of the newest born, and while her son toddled over to one of his many aunties and they were all to her special and she'd love them for the rest of her days. She'd be selfless if any of them ever came against being in danger. It was an intricate part of what made Penelope, Penelope. That part of her would never change, it would only strengthen.

To Penelope the only way she could describe this amazing family was like fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts. A saying she hadn't truly known until she met her Quantico family, a saying she believed in when she got married and was made a permanent and prominent Morgan.

Jane Howard once wrote "Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."
