Penelope and Callisto use to secretly date in high school. They met at the beginning of their final year of high school but broke up just before graduation. While they were compatible with one another, it was their family problems that drove them apart.

Callisto's relationship with his stepmother was downright hostile and Penelope was still clinging to the possibility that her family might love her. They both tried to not let it affect their romantic life but there was only so much they could have done given that they both were about to graduate and possibly go to different universities.

This all resulted in a massive argument between them that ultimately led them to break up.

They graduated high school got into different colleges, graduated from said colleges and got jobs and try to move on with their lives. The key word being tried. While they didn't want to admit it, they still miss one another and all the good times they had even if it was for a short time.

Years later they've both gotten promoted in their jobs. Their companies just so happen to collab with each other on a big project. Penelope and Callisto who are very hard workers in their jobs are chosen by their respective companies to be a part of this project, they think it will be just like every other assignment they've done before.

So imagine their surprise when they see each other at the beginning of the program. Their minds are like "Oh shit, what is he/she doing here?" while keeping a poker face. They decide right then and there to avoid each other as subtly as possible to avoid drama but low and behold their place in the same group together.

Not a problem they'll just do what they do best, ignore the problem till it goes away or till they have no choice but to confront it. The two of them decided that avoiding each other outside of work is the best option and all seems to go well...…....for a while.

You see, Penelope and Callisto work very well together despite trying to avoid any other interaction with one another. But even then they tend to bicker and throw jabs at one another at every chance they get.

Their other group members have collectively agreed that they are made for one another. Cut to them trying their best to get Penelope and Callisto to spend as much time together as possible without it being too suspicious.

This leads to both parties feeling emotionally drained at the end of every day from all the mental gymnastics they're doing around each other. They catch on to what their colleges are doing but don't have the time to tell them to stop, plus they'd prefer not to go around explaining that the person the group is trying to set them up with is the high school ex.

But soon they settle into their temporary routines and sparks are beginning to fly between to two. They're more comfortable around each other now and are reminded of how things were between them when they started dating years ago.

Everything is going normal until months later when they hit an important milestone in their project. To celebrate, their bosses take their workers out for a few drinks. You can see where this is going.

Long story short, Penelope and Callisto both get drunk, head off to Callisto's apartment and had sex, they went at it the whole night and slept till noon and would have missed work if it wasn't a Saturday.

Suffice it to say they were horrified when they woke up. To make matters worse, Penelope can't leave cause there is a massive storm outside, the streets are flooding and people are advised to remain indoors. So they've stuck indoors...…with each other...….not a problem at all.

They are a little awkward around each other since this is their first time in years interacting with each other outside of work. Things were a little tense on day one but they settled into a temporary routine by day two and were comfortable sharing a space together. But they could only ignore the massive elephant in the room for so long.

One of them finally brought up the topic that they indeed slept together the night before. Their both not embarrassed by this considering they were each other's first in high school. But the conversation inevitably shifts to their nasty breakup literally a week before graduation, and that leads them to bring up some still painful memories about the families they've since cut off from their lives.

To them, there was just too much happening all at once so suddenly. Things got tense in their respective households, they had to prepare for graduation, prepare college and all that jazz. They didn't seem to have time to process their emotions back then which lead to them braking up on such bad terms.

But now they're older and have worked through their issues over the years. However, they genuinely never expected to see one another again after going to separate colleges.

So after a very long talk, they decided to give their relationship another chance. They took things slow at the beginning which escalated to going on trips together and moving in together. After two years Callisto proposed, they got married, bought a house and had kids.

THE END

When she was pregnant with Judith, Penelope began sleeping a lot like 10plus hours a day A LOT. She finally accepted that she wouldn't be put into life or death situations anymore and finally let herself relax for the first time in years. At first, it was quite concerning, since she had a habit of staying up late and getting lost in her research all the time. But Callisto got over it because she was eating healthy and gaining weight. The sleepy cuddles were a bonus too.

DITOEFTV The Dark Figure

Every time Penelope is in a potentially life-threatening situation a tall dark figure can be seen looming behind her in the background. It looks like a person but their face is covered by a dark cloak. The capture targets can see this figure but everyone else can't.

Depending on the likelihood of her dying the closer the figure gets to her. For example, in her encounter with Callisto in the royal garden, the figure appears right behind her as Callisto has his sword to her neck. Each of the capture targets eventually piece together that the dark figure is tied to how close Penelope is to dying.

So they are very much petrified during Penelope's coming of age ceremony where she drinks poison and the dark figure that usually stands still behind her when she's in danger is actively moving to grab her as she is dying from the poison. They are all very relieved when it backs off and eventually disappear after she is given the emergency antidote.

DITOEFTV PET HEADCANONS

If Penelope had a pet, it would be the "hates everybody but her" trope but with a pet. When this pet is with Penelope they are all lovey-dovey and tries to smother her with kisses and affection. If other people (like the Eckharts) are in the room with Penny the moment she leaves the pet alone with them for any duration of time without warning it does a 360 and turns into a demon. Traumatizing everybody in the room until Penny comes back in which they act like the perfect little angel as if it had not tried to unalive everyone seconds ago. Penelope is blissfully unaware of her pet's attempted murder sprees to the dismay of the Eckharts cause how do you tell someone that you almost got killed by a pet?

They're small so Penny can just pick them up and carry them around. It hates everyone but Penny they only they even remotely tolerate are Callisto but only after a long time. They love Judith to bits though.

A/B/O Au Headcannon

Penelope is an omega and Callisto is an alpha.

Penelope is starting her first heat with Callisto after they got together. Their spending her heat in a safe house so they would have some privacy.

She's a bit dazed as her heat begins and is building her nest just the way she always does. She finishes her nest and calls Callisto to have some *coughcough* fun.

As their getting into the mood Penelope drags her hands across Callisto's body and realises that she made the nest to only fit her alone meaning that Callisto would ruin all her hard work just getting in. So she promptly shoves him away to quickly fix the nest to fit the two of them. Callisto spent the next 15 minutes waiting for her to finish her readjustments.

They spent the entire week in the safe house. And 40 weeks later Judith was born.
