Ward, and FitzSimmons sat in the living room area of the bus on a lazy Wednesday morning each doing their own thing. Ward had his nose in a book, Simmons was looking up something science related while fitz sat with a bowl of popcorn watching whatever she was doing. It was pretty quiet on the bus. The only noise heard was the pages turning on Wards book, and the occasional crunch from Fitz. It was very quiet...until Skye bounced into the room sitting on the seat next to ward.
"So...any plans for tomorrow?" Skye smiled looking at everyone with wide eyes...then feeling a little sad that no one seemed to care.
"What's tomorrow?" Ward mumbled, barely looking up from his book.
Do they really not remember or does robot here just want to read, skye thought.
"Really guys? Tomorrow? Thursday November Twenty-Eighth?" Skye pestered, dumbfounded that they forgot about the holiday. Especially ward, the only American one.
"No doesn't ring a bell." Simmons said looking up at skye shaking her head.
"THANKSGIVING. GUYS. You know that one day of the year where you eat until you pass out and give thanks!" Skye basically yelled at the team.
"What about thanksgiving? You want to celebrate it?" Ward asked turning to her, putting the book down.
Skye smiled really big at that question. "Can we?!"
"I wouldn't mind celebrating thanksgiving...but we don't have the food." Fitz pointed out.
"I can go out and buy everything we need. But you guys will have to help, I can't make a meal for six people in a couple hours." Skye started smiling again, they were going to have a thanksgiving!
"I know how to cook a turkey...my mom taught me a while back." Ward spoke up, raising his hand a little bit.
Skye just smiled.
"I can make pie." Fitz offered smiling back at skye.
"I'm not much of a cook but I know how to make mashed potatoes!" Simmons smiled at them all.
Skyes smile got even wider and she forgot to say what she can make, in all her imagining of the dinner. She was knocked out of her thoughts by Ward hitting her on the arm.
"Hey. Skye. What can you make?" Ward questioned.
"Oh sorry, yeah. I can make Stuffing!" Skye smiled at all of them before continuing. "Can you all write down what you need on paper so I can go buy it while the bus is still grounded?"
"Do you mind if I come with you?" Ward asked looking up at skye from his spot.
Skye stopped for a second. why the hell would he want to come with me grocery shopping?
"Sure. If you want to!" Skye breathed...This should be interesting.
About an hour later everyone had written down what they needed and handed it to Skye. Everyone had their specific things they needed and the list was over a page long, but it was worth it.
Skye and Ward got into a car and drove off to the supermarket which was fairly busy with people doing the same thing they were. The car ride there was quiet...Ward had turned on the radio so they mostly just listened to that.
As they walked into the store Skye admittedly went into shopping mode as she grabbed a cart. Ward just followed her, not really sure what to do.
"So...what do we need first?" Ward asked looking around at the various items on the shelves.
"Flour sugar and eggs for Fitz's pie crust." Skye said grabbing a bag of flour off the shelf and putting it in the cart. "Next we need the pumpkin pie fillings and potatoes...we have milk right?" Skye asked grabbing the sugar and putting it in the cart before walking off.
"Yeah I used some this morning." Ward answered while trying to keep up with skye. "Why is this such a big deal for you...You got pretty excited when we said we would have a thanksgiving." Ward asked looking at skye questionably.
"I've never really had a thanksgiving..." She started throwing various spicesspices in the cart. "In the orphanage we would have this horrible lunch of outdated turkey and potatoes, then the boys went to play football outside and the girls just sat there." Skye said starting to get a little teary eyed as she dropped bread in the cart. They pulled into an empty aisle and she stopped and turned to face him, tears starting to run down her face. God. He hated seeing her upset. Skye started to speak again and it came out in small whispers.
"When I...when I was thirteen...I was in a foster family for about three months...it was right before thanksgiving and I was so, SO excited to spend the holiday with a family, MY family." She stopped and took a deep breath. "Then the mom got pregnant and she didn't want me anymore..." Skye started sobbing again at the thought of maybe once having a family.
Before she knew it Ward grabbed her and hugged her. She started sobbing into his shirt as he just held her, letting all the tears come out.
"Shh...don't cry Skye. No need to cry." He soothed, trying to quiet her down a little more. He succeeded and she stopped crying. She pulled away and was about to grab the cart when He turned her around.
"Hey...Skye...Look at me." He whispered lifting her face up so it was looking right at him. "You do have a family...WE are your family. I am your family. Okay?" He smiled a little bit at her. Before Skye jumped at him giving him the biggest hug possible.
"Thank you Grant."She smiled into his shoulder, and he did the same.
They finished up hugging and went on to grabbing everything Ward needed to make the bird, before heading for checkout. Skye paid for everything they had put in the cart and they started walking to the door.
Right before they reached the door they saw all the Christmas lights and decorations up in another area. Before Ward could react Skye was already running over to them to 'ooh' and 'Aww' over the pretty lights, and decorations.
"Aren't they cool!" Skye exclaimed holding onto the cart bouncing.
"Let me guess. We're going to celebrate Christmas on the bus to?" Ward smiled at her excitement. as she was sobbing just minutes ago.
"Yes we are!" Skye exclaimed happily. "So make sure to tell me what you want for your present!" Skye turned and looked at him.
While Ward was looking at the decorations, Skye noticed that above Ward was mistletoe hanging off the shelf. It's NOT like she could just straight out Kiss him, no matter how much she wanted to. So instead she walked over to him and stood up on the tip of her toes and gave him a little peck on the cheeck. He turned around surprised, and she just pointed up to the mistletoe. Skye quickly grabbed the cart and started walking to the door, leaving Ward standing in the Christmas aisle with a huge smirk on his face.
Thanksgiving day came really fast. Around noon everyone started doing their thing. Ward and Fitz were the first ones in the kitchen. Ward started preparing the Turkey and Fitz was using a mixer to make his pie dough. Pretty soon Simmons walked into the kitchen and stood next to fitz. Handing him the various ingredients when he asked, and laughing at him when he spilled the sugar all over the place.
"Jemma this is not funny." He sighed picking up all the sugar that had fallen.
"Y-Yes it is Fitz!" Simmons managed to get out while laughing hysterically at a sugar covered fitz. "Fitz why don't you go change while I help you clean up the sugar." Simmons said shooing him out of the kitchen.
Skye came in soon after Fitz left. She sat on the counter close to Ward, half listening to him explain how to properly make a turkey. It wasn't long before Fitz was back and a turkey and a pie where in the oven. After the boys get their dishes in it was the girls turn to make Skyes stuffing and Jemmas mashed potatoes. Fitz stayed to help Jemma with peeling the potatoes, and Ward stayed to help Skye tear up the bread into a bowl. They didn't even notice when Coulson walked in the room.
"What are you guys up to?" He asked looking at everyone and all the food.
"Happy thanksgiving AC!" Skye chimed up smiling at him.
"Wow so all of you are cooking dinner?" He asked again.
"Yes we are sir! It should be ready around five!" Simmons smiled looking up from her potatoes.
Coulson left leaving the kids alone again in the kitchen cooking. They cooked in scilence with the occasional cuss word from Fitz when he would cut his finger again and again chopping up potatoes.
Soon the other dishes were cooking and everyone went into the living room to relax while it cooked. Skye and Ward sat down on the couch together with skye leaning into him a little bit. While fitz and Simmons sat on the other couch with Jemma leaning into fitz a little.
A couple minutes before the timer rang on all the food, May walked out and rolled her eyes at the 'couples' sitting on the chairs. She was about to ask when it would be ready but the timer rang and everyone filed out to set the table with the yummy food they had put together. They had everything made perfectly and they couldn't wait to dig in.
Everyone sat down at the dining table and started passing around food. Everyone was having their own conversations and eating until Simmons spoke up.
"On thanksgiving don't you have to say what you are thankful for?" She questioned.
"Yeah sure you first!" Skye smiled.
"I'm thankful for having such a wonderful job that allows me to do what I love." Simmons started.
"I'm thankful to have all of you as my friends." Fitz smiled at all of them.
"I'm thankful to have a wonderful team." Coulson added.
"I'm thankful to be alive." May smiled shyly.
"I'm thankful for being chosen to be on this perfectly imperfect team." Ward smiled
"I'm thankful to finally have a family." Skye smiled at all of them. But she smiled at Ward the brightest.
