A/N: This story was a random something that I came up with after reading MANY Fanfictions. This may be a one-shot, but it depends on how you guys respond to it. If everyone likes it then it will turn into a long term fic. So please let me know what you guys think! If it does turn into a long-term fic. I will try my best to update a couple times a week. It is also my first fanfic so please be thoughtful!

Disclaimer: If I owned Agents of SHIELD I would be hanging out with the cast so…. Nope I don't own it!

The Academy, Location: Unknown

"What exactly are we doing here, Sir?" Simmons asked Coulson, as the team walked out of the cargo hold of the BUS. "I mean I love The Academy, but the last time we were here, it didn't end so well…" she added, recalling the commotion of their last visit.

The team had just landed at SHIELD Academy and was waiting for May to join them before they left for wherever Coulson and May planned on taking them. Fitz was rambling as he looked at the SHIELD building. Ward was standing next to him quietly, looking quite annoyed at Coulson being so cryptic.

"Well, we are actually here to pick something up," Coulson replied without going into further details.

"Good answer, Sir."

Coulson smirked, "I thought so."

May walked out of the cargo hold and stood next to him

Having overheard the quick chat between the two of them, she decided to shed some light on things, "Coulson and I actually have something to tell you all. Over the past few months, we haven't been completely honest with you."

"Yeah, yeah, we already know that you and Coulson are a thing. You guys weren't exactly discreet about it. But, that still doesn't explain what we are doing at the Academy. So, why are we here? Another student rebelled against SHIELD?" Skye rambled rather quickly.

"God, I hope not!" Fitz exclaimed, resting his hands on each side of his hip.

"No, no other students have rebelled against SHIELD. And Skye," Coulson turned to her, "yes May and I are together, but not in the way you think."

"Ew, AC, I did not need to know that!" Skye says, cringing.

"Phil means that we aren't just dating. We are married and have been for quite a while now. 22 years to be exact. And that's not all," May told the team, taking a moment to watch their reactions.

The entire team had looks of pure shock across their faces. Skye however, had a sparkle in her eye and a small smile on her lips. It was almost as if she had already known. Coulson thought she looked exactly like May, when she was Skye's age.

"We met when we entered the Academy in the Operations Division. We originally hated each other. But, over freshman year we became best friends," Fitzsimmons exchanged a look and smiled shyly at the oh so familiar events and then turned their attention to May as she continued, "We had a thing together when we were in our second year at The Academy, but we only started to officially date secretly after we were assigned to be each other's partners, and started working with Agents Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff."

"We got married about two years after we graduated," Coulson continued. "About a year later, Melinda became pregnant. We had a beautiful baby girl, 19 inches long and weighing 5 pounds 7 ounces, born on January 16, 1993," his eyes glistened as he reminisced the moment, a small smile taking over his lips before he could realize it.

"Wait, you guys have a 21 year old daughter?! Why didn't you tell us?" an upset Skye asked.

"Did you not trust us?" Simmons asked while Ward and Fitz stood there, still thinking about the information they had just been told.

"Of course we trust you. You guys are our team. Our family," May reinforced, "We just had to give Fury time to make sure that if we told you, we wouldn't be putting her in danger," she explained.

"What's her name?" Fitz finally asked.

"Katlyn Natasha Lei May-Coulson," Coulson told him with a smile. "And we wanted to tell you, but her entire life has been like this. She has always been on the move with us or another trusted family member. People have attempted to try and kidnap her ever since she was born. And we couldn't lose a child again…" Coulson said, realizing that he may have said too much.

Ward finally spoke up, "What do you mean again? Someone was able to kidnap her?"

"No, not her," the man quietly said and looked at May.

She took a deep breath, feeling that she had to explain what she knew the team should know. After all, she was done with all the secrets and lies.

"It was our third year at the Academy when we found out that I was pregnant with our first child. We were thrilled. Yes, we were young, but we were in love. Anyway, we told Fury, who had just become director at the time and was a close friend to us both, and he was just glad we were happy. On May 21, 1989 we had another little girl. We named her May Marie Coulson. We loved her so much. Phil and I were going to get married and buy a house. But a month after May was born, she was kidnapped while we were at the Academy. The trusted agent that had been watching her was drugged and she was taken away," her voice was now getting softer as she carried on, "The agent was drugged before he even got to the house and the abductors knew when he had passed out. They then broke in and SHIELD Agents arrived at the scene 10 minutes after the alarm went off. No one but the passed out agent was found and our baby girl was gone."

Melinda then couldn't take it anymore and broke down into a pile of tears with Phil's arms wrapped around her. When she composed herself she told Phil to continue.

"After about a year without a lead, SHIELD stopped searching. But we never did. We hoped every day that we would find her. We still do," his face stiffened as he affirmed so. "That is why we are so protective of Katie. We wouldn't be able to forgive ourselves if she was hurt or taken away from us. She even has a personnel bodyguard much to her dismay."

"She doesn't dislike the fact that she has a bodyguard. She didn't like the idea of it at first, but she warmed up to it," May continued with a knowing smirk on her face.

"That's just because she started dating the guy! I mean, seriously? Why the hell did Fury hire someone her age?" Phil complained in an exaggerated tone.

"Honey, you approved the guy," Melinda teased, reminded him of that small detail he was purposely omitting.

As the couple continued to banter, the team was still confused and speechless. They could not believe that even after everything that May and Coulson had been through, they were still standing and bantering with each other. While Fitzsimmons finally smiled, looking at the couple, Ward was thinking about how hard it must have been on Katlyn all these years with SHIELD constantly on her back. He also couldn't help but think of how hard it must have been on May and Coulson when they lost their daughter. If there was ever a new lead on their daughter, he going to try and help the best he could. When he put his thoughts aside, he finally looked at the couple and chuckled softly at the way Coulson was being so protective over his little girl.

With Phil and Melinda still bickering and the team still in their own little worlds, Skye thought about how lucky Katlyn must have been to grow up with parents like May and Coulson and wished she could have had something like that growing up. She looked over to Phil and Melinda and smiled.


Meanwhile, just across the air field a small chopper landed. Director Fury and two other young agents stepped out. A tall young man and a slightly shorter young lady. Both looked too young to be SHEILD, but that didn't mean they couldn't look intimidating. The three walked across the air field to where the large BUS was, not knowing what to expect when they got to the cargo hold. Well, Katlyn was pretty much prepared to expect almost anything. That included watching her parents bickering. It didn't however include meeting four new people, whom were looking at her, stunned, but curious.

"Well, no matter how nice the guy is, I still don't like him," Phil declared.

"Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way dad, but I kind of love him," the young girl said as she walked up the cargo hold ramp with Fury and her bodyguard behind her.
