Okay guys. So the newest episode absolutely ruined my feels. Like seriously people, what the hell is going on with our ship?! And since I absolutely cannot function right now I figured what better time would it be to write my sequel to "A Man and His Maid" where all ships sail forever on beautiful calm oceans. This starts pretty much right where I left off in the last one and hopefully this might go on forever. Just so you know. Welcome to my happy place!
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters. They are from AOS and have just ruined my life and this is my way of coping. The story is actually my idea though so thats pretty cool!
Chapter 1: Two Fitz' And A Baby
Skye and Grant came back from their honeymoon and were immediately pulled into a large closet by Fitz. "Okay guys, listen. Jemma is not her usual self. Just talk calm to her, don't mention how large she's gotten, and just play along with what she says. No sudden movements. She can sense when someone is close." The other occupants of the closet looked at each other confused and then nodded abruptly when they heard a voice screaming from down the hall, "Leopold Fitz I swear to God if you aren't ready to leave for our appointment in the next 30 seconds I'm going to skin you alive!".
Jemma's pregnancy was surprisingly hard on everyone. The normally bubbly and mild mannered Brit was a completely different person with all of her hormones. Whenever someone mentioned her growing tummy she would burst into tears thinking she was getting fat. If she asked anyone for something they would promptly get whatever she asked for, fearing that she would either bawl her eyes out or slap them across the face in anger. She had strange cravings that poor Leo had to wake up at all hours of the night to cook for her. Phil and Ward took to hiding in Ward's private sitting room and were still interrupted once by the pregnant Jemma. Melinda always remained calmed around her and didn't draw much attention, leaving Jemma to ask the others for something.
Skye was great with Jemma, which didn't surprise anyone since she had known Jemma the longest. She was the picture of calmness and always knew how to calm her down. Skye could always be seen grabbing something for Jemma and handing her tissues whenever she cried. If Jemma got upset she would always ask for Skye. At first, Leo would get jealous that he couldn't comfort his wife, but then he realised he was a comfort, but nothing could calm a girl down like her surrogate younger sister and then he relaxed. It gave him more time to come up with little surprises for Jemma.
Fitz was surprisingly talented in other areas besides cooking. Sure, he came up with baby food recipes in almost all of his spare time, but he had also surprised Jemma with small toys and had even made her a rocking chair by hand. She had cried and sat rocking in the chair for hours in the nursery. Skye and Grant painted the nursery (because if Skye asked her hubby to do something, he dropped whatever he was doing to do it) while Jemma instructed them what needed to be done to get it painted how she wanted. Phil and Melinda had mostly sat back and let the younger members of the house experience the pregnancy, but assured both Fitz' that they would be more than happy to watch the little one once he was born.
Jemma gave birth to a baby boy on a hot July afternoon with Leo and Skye by her side. Leo was just as worked up as Jemma was during labor, constantly trying to tell her how to breathe. "Gosh Leo, I know how to breathe! This is your fault! Why can't you be the one to push this thing out! Gah!" She would squeeze his hand and he had to sit down twice from getting too anxious. After sitting down the second time, Jemma looked over at him and shrieked for him to go get Skye because he was freaking her out. He ran down the hall full speed and all but yanked her from Grant's arms to get her into the room with Jemma.
Skye would take a washcloth and gently dab Jemma's forehead whispering to her how great of a job she was doing and how it was all going to be worth it when she got to hold her baby boy in her arms. It was like her presence alone calmed Jemma. After hours of labor Ian Brian Fitz was born and Jemma immediately became her cheery self again. Her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears as she held her boy in her arms for the first time and Leo choked back a sob as little Ian grabbed his finger. Skye slipped out the door to go find her husband. Ah that never get's old was going through her head as she walked into the waiting room at the hospital to find Grant sitting in a chair reading a book with Phil and Melinda close by.
"He's gorgeous" said Skye as Phil and Melinda got up to see the new family. Grant got up to pull Skye into a hug and she looked up at him. "I don't know how I'm ever going to go through that. That was scary! It looks so painful!"
Grant chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair. "And to think I was about to ask you when we were going to have one of our own. You know you'll get through it because I'll be by your side every step of the way."
Skye laughed and smirked at him as she tugged him towards Jemma and Leo's room. "Well maybe we can start trying soon. What kind of wife would I be to deny the man I love lots and lots of children?" Grant's laugh could be heard as they walked down the hall to go see the new member of their family.
Five months later Skye got pregnant. Holy shit was the only thing that went through her head for the first hour and then she smiled and decided to surprise Grant. He was in his library reading a book when Skye walked in with her hands behind her back and a smirk on her face.
"Hello there Mrs. Ward. Is there something I can help you with?"
"Actually there might be Mr. Ward. I'm having a hard time reading something. Can you see if you can tell what it says?" with that she held out the positive pregnancy test and Grant beamed before he picked her up and spun her around.
"Holy Shit! Are we having a baby?!"
"Looks like it. So you better get ready daddy!"
With that she ran out of the room to tell Jemma (who squealed and almost woke up her own baby) and Phil (who pulled her into a huge hug).
One more note! I am taking suggestions of stuff you'd like to see in this. I'm hoping this fic will go on for a long time and have many chapters so let me know of any ideas you guys have and I will try my hardest to get them all to fit in somewhere.
