Ward was nervous. It wasn't like him but this was a big moment. To anyone else the small cottage would seem innocent enough, but to him it was one of the most dangerous things he had ever face. A lot of work had been put into him getting to this point and now he was terrified to finally finish his mission.

The rest of the team didn't know he was coming here. If they did they would have wanted to come with him. They had all helped him do the research to find this place. It takes a lot of searching, requiring all the skills of the team, especially when the person you are looking for wants to stay hidden and has the skills to do that.

It had taken him four months to find this place. Four months that had felt like four years. Every day had seemed to drag. He felt like he had lost part of himself. So that was why he was here invading her privacy. To see why she had left. To see if he could persuade her to return. Four months ago Skye had left the team, leaving just a simple note that said she was sorry and loved them all. He wanted to know what had caused her to leave. All of the team missed her, but he felt like he had lost everything. He wanted to know if he could have her back in his life even if it was only as friends. He would always love her but if all she wanted was to be friends then he could do that for her.

Taking a deep breath he walked up to the path and knocked on the door. He heard her voice calling that she would just be a minute and tried to steel himself. Finally the door opened revealing her. She was as beautiful as ever, her hair longer falling over her baggy t-shirt and nearly reached to the top of her jeans.

"Grant." She whispered.

She had awkwardly invited him into the house showing him into the kitchen. She started to make coffee for him, knowing how much he loved it. She was absolutely glowing, it was all he could do to sit and stare at her. When she reached up for the coffee her t-shirt was pulled taut across her stomach, showing a rounding that hadn't been there four months ago. He would know he had traced every line of her committing it to memory.

Turning she noticed his look as she handed him his coffee. Sitting across him she spoke,

"Yes I'm pregnant. About five months."

"Was that why you left?"

"Yes. Before you ask yes it is yours."

"Why did you leave Skye? Were you scared to tell me?"

Ward was horrified at the thought she would be scared to tell him. He all ready loved her and now she was carrying his child. He wasn't sure he could love her any more.

"No god no Ward. I just…."

"Please tell me Skye. I'm not mad. I just wanted to know why you left. I wanted to see if I could see you again….. I love you Skye and I've regretted not telling you before you left."

He reached for her hand trying to comfort her as she began to cry.

"I love you too." She sobbed. "That's why I left. I didn't want to burden you with a baby. I know Shield's rules on fraternisation. We would have been forced apart. I didn't want that. I planned to get in touch soon to explain to you. That way if you wanted to be part of the baby's life you could be, without loosing your position within Shield."

Ward reached for and pulled her into his lap, rocking her and kissing the top of her head.

"Oh baby. I don't care about Shield. All I care about is you and now this little one. You are my number one priority. Besides I don't think Coulson would let anything happen to his team. We are family."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologise Baby. I'm just glad I found you safe."

They sat like that for a while, both just enjoying the other's company. Once they had both calmed down Ward spoke again.

"So what can you tell me about this little one?'

"Well I'm about five months as I said. Here is a picture." She got up and passed him an ultrasound picture.

"Personally I think it is going to be a boy. But I haven't found out for certain yet. I'm still trying to decide whether I want to know."

She smiled at him as he stared in awe at the picture. It was his baby. They were going to have a baby.

"Do you have any names you like?"

"I was thinking Noah for a boy."

"Noah I like that."

They both smiled at each other, both glad that they were back in each other's lives.

"Are you up for a trip?"

"Sure where?"

"Well I thought we might go and tell the rest of the team that they are going to become grandparents and aunties and uncles."

"I like the sound of that. I've missed them as well."

"They've missed you as well. They will be glad to have you back. Not that you have to stay."

"I would like to if it is possible."

"I'm sure we can work something out."

He lent down and sealed that promise with a kiss.

So this was a prompt from cerys132 who wanted Skye to be pregnant with a boy called Noah and had left the bus, before Ward tracks her down four months later. Hope you liked this. I wanted something fluffy after that episode 1X18. I'm in total denial and don't believe I will ever be ok again. This show is going to kill me!
