(A/N) This is currently a one shot. If I get more than 10 reviews saying to make more, I will. Read my other fanfics as well, you will like them if you like this. Enjoy!

Calvin Coulson

He remembered his conversation with Pepper like it was yesterday. Tony was out doing who knows what, and he and Pepper were in his living room in his mansion on the cliff, talking.

*Flashback

"So, Phil," Pepper said after a long silence. "Are you married?"

Normally, Coulson would say 'It's classified,' and that would be the end of it. Something told him that Pepper wouldn't drop it though. Stubborn woman.

"Yes, actually," Coulson replied. "We have been married for nearly ten years."

Pepper's face showed surprise at his answer. Obviously, she had not been expecting to hear that. "Oh, um, do you two have any kids?"

Coulson nodded. "We have a son. He's six."

"I didn't strike you as the guy to have children, Phil."

"…Well, neither did I. I wanted a dog, but my wife insisted on having a baby."

"You don't like him?"

"Don't get me wrong, I love him. There's times that he makes my day a lot better but…"

"But what?"

"Some times he drives me nuts," Coulson sighed.

"All kids do, you know," Pepper said with a shrug.

"He called our house phone in the middle of the night from a payphone, saying 'Dad, it's currently 3 am, do you know where I am?' or something like that."

"Oh, he does sound like a trouble maker," Pepper chuckled.

"You have no idea,"

*End of flashback

His wife knew about her husbands high-risk job, but they mutually agreed to not tell Calvin until he's… okay, they might not tell him until Phil's on his deathbed.

Which is now.

Phil has just been stabbed in the heart with Loki's staff, and he's stopped breathing. All he knows is pain. Then the world became mercifully black.

When he opened up his eyes, he was in the ICU. Director Furry was standing over him.

"Director?" Phil croaked.

"You're dead, Coulson."

"What?!"

"The Avengers needed extra motivation, so to them and almost all of S.H.I.E.L.D., you're dead." Furry explained.

"Oh," Phil said, leaning back against his pillows. "So, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?" he asked after a moment.

"Spend time with your wife and that…kid…of yours." Furry said.

Phil knew he was probably going to say something other than 'kid', but he didn't care. "Helen would like that."

Furry cracked a smile. "She probably would." He turned to leave, then looked back at Phil. "And Coulson? Don't tell S.H.I.E.L.D. where you've been when you get back."

"What am I supposed to tell them?"

Furry looked thoughtful for a moment. "Tell them you've been to Tahiti. I hear that it's a magical place." And with that, he left.

Six months later, Phil got a call from HQ.

"Coulson? We need you to come in. We've got a possible super that we need you to deal with. We've assigned Agent Ward to you."

"Alright, I'll be there." Phil said, excited to be in the field once more. Sure, he loved spending time with his family. (He used his 'vacation' to force them on yet another fishing trip) but he also loved being an Agent. "Oh, and remember; don't touch Lola."

I just had to add the 'Lola' part because of what he says in the Pilot for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was just too good! Oh, and since Calvin's mom doesn't have a name I just gave her the name Helen. She looks like a Helen. R&R! Remember, if I get 10 reviews, I'll add more…
