Skye didn't get jealous often, well considering she, Jemma, and May normally were the only girls, there was no need to be jealous though right now Skye was jealous as she watched Jemma giving praise to Bobbie for saving her. Skye was leaning against the bar watching them, she watched as Jemma put a hand on Bobbie's hand; she wanted to be the one that Jemma was touching and watching this Skye felt for the first time in a while jealous of another person. What Skye didn't know was that she was being watched too; Trip moved from the doorway of the kitchen over to the bar where Skye was leaning. Skye didn't notice him till she saw him out of the corner of her eye; she could tell he wanted to talk to her about something.
"Yes?" Skye asked as she glanced in Trip's direction.
"You don't have to be jealous." Trip said as he studied Skye's face for a hint that he was on the right track.
"I'm not." Skye said in a rough tone.
"You don't have to lie about it Skye."
"I'm not.
"Yeah right girl, you and that evil eye you're giving Bobbie tell a different story. I see the way that you look at her."
"I don't have a look."
"Yes you do. It's a look of love. You should tell her."
"It's not safe for her."
"You think because of your father and your past that she wouldn't be safe, but think about this. How would you feel if you pushed her away, she got in to some trouble, and you weren't there to save her because you pushed her away?"
"I wouldn't feel good about it."
"That's why you should tell her. I'm going to let you in on something that Jemma and I talked about. When you had been shot, Jemma saved you; while the team were trying to get the medication that was going to save you. She stayed by your side and only left when ordered to and even then she always made sure that someone was with you if she couldn't be."
"She did?"
"Of course. We had a conversation about you. She said that even though you had only known each other for a short part of time, she couldn't imagine life without you. And when they got back with the med and you went into a cardiac arrest and she didn't know what to do to save you; she held your hand and cried. All we could do was watch you thrash in the bed until your heart went back to a normal rhythm; Skye you didn't see the way she cried after you were finally stable or the way that she brushed your hair out of your face so that she could see you. You mean everything to her and I know that she means everything to you; tell her and have a happy ending not a lot of us get that."
"Thanks Trip."
"No problem girl."
Skye then moved away from the bar over to the table that Jemma and Bobbie were sitting at; Trip watched from a distance as Skye whispered in Jemma's ear and Jemma in turn smiled and stood up to leave.
"Thank you again Bobbie." Jemma said, "I'll see you later, yes?"
"Absolutely." Bobbie said with a smile of her own; Trip joined her at the table after Jemma and Skye left the room. "You gonna tell me about those two?"
"You probably already know what's going on between those two." Trip said with a smile.
"I do, didn't know Coulson would allow that."
"Well he is very fond of Jemma and Skye. He's like a father, so he'll probably have a talk with each of them, but in the end he'll be happy for them."
"Good. Everyone deserves someone."
"I totally agree with you."
In a hidden room, only known by Jemma and Skye…
"You fixed this place up." Jemma said with a smile as she and Skye sat down on the couch that was up against the far wall.
"Yeah, well I needed to stay busy." Skye said as Jemma leaned against her.
"Why?"
"After I found out that you were the leak from Hydra, I worried about you."
"Oh Skye. I worried too it's why I offered to go in. I wanted to keep you guys safe."
"Why did you just leave? Why didn't you tell us you were leaving?"
"Coulson told me not to, he knew that if I said goodbye you'd ask questions and try and stop me."
"He's right I would have. Jemma I need to tell you something." Skye said as she took Jemma's hands in hers, she moved her body so that she was facing Jemma instead of Jemma leaning on her; Jemma nodded that she was listening and Skye said, "I love you. I think I always have. When you were gone and before I knew you undercover it hurt that you hadn't said goodbye and after I found out that you were the leak I worried about your safety. I thought I would never be able to tell you and I don't expect you to say it back, but I wanted you to know how much you mean to me and I…"
Skye wasn't able to finish her ramble due to the fact that Jemma's lips were on hers; Skye wrapped her arms around Jemma's waist and pulled her closer and only when oxygen became a necessity did they break apart.
"I love you too." Jemma said softly before kissing Skye again.
