Prologue-Skye
Skye was nervous. She was pregnant and she wondered how Grant was going to react. They had only been married a few months and they had never really talked about kids. "What's wrong?", Grant asked, seeing her face. "I'm pregnant.", Skye answered. Grant's face lit up. "Skye, that's wonderful!" He kissed her belly. "Hi little guy! I'm your daddy!" As he continued, Skye smiled. Grant was going to be an excellent father. Nine months later, Skye was holding a beautiful baby girl. "Jessica.", she said when they asked her what her name was. "Her name is Jessica."
Two months later
As Skye held her 2 month old baby girl in her arms, she said to her, "I can't believe you slept through the whole night!" Jessica didn't look at her. An ambulance went by. Wheeoo wheeoo wheeoo Jessica didn't even flinch. Skye frowned. She put her daughter in her crib and went behind it and yelled, "Boo!" Jessica didn't seem to hear her. Skye knew that something was wrong. She brought her to Jemma. "I think something's wrong with Jessica.", Skye told her. "She doesn't seem to be able to hear me." Jemma ran some tests. "Skye," she began, "you'd probably want to talk to an expert, but I think that Jessica is deaf." Skye couldn't believe it. She left without even a thank you. When Grant came home, Skye tearfully told him that Jessica could be deaf. They went to an expert and he told them that Jessica was definitely deaf. "I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but Jessica will probably never be able to hear." Skye broke down and cried. "It's going to be ok.", Grant told her. "Everything's going to be fine." "No, it's not!", Skye sobbed. "She will never hear a song or birds or," "I know Skye.", Grant interrupted, "We'll make sure she's fine." Skye continued to sob into his chest. She didn't stop until Grant said, "Um, do you know sign language? Cause I don't." Skye laughed, then a horrible thought came to her mind. "She's never going to know what a laugh sounds like." she said. Grant smiled sadly at her and said, "We can teach her what laughter is and show her what it is." Skye was confused. "Smiling faces." he clarified. "We're going to be ok. I promise you we'll be fine." Skye smiled. No matter what happened, Grant was going to take care of them.
