Chapter 2

Ward had now been in a coma for two weeks. Jemma had managed to get Ward stable enough so they could transport him to the nearest hospital. They had all waited for 8 hours for the doctor to tell them if he had survived. Since the moment they were allowed to go see Ward, Skye hadn't left his side apart from when she needed to use the bathroom. The team tried to convince her to go back to the bus to shower and change or even go for a walk to stretch but she refused to move. The team now brought her food and clothes to change.

"Do you need me to bring you anything back?" Jemma asked her best friend.

"No thank you." Skye replied.

"Alright, I'll see you in the morning." Jemma gave Skye a hug before leave the room.

Skye sat quietly holding his hand as she watched his chest rise and fall. The sound of the heart monitor was starting to lull her to sleep like it did every night. When she was close to drifting off she felt Ward ever so slightly squeeze her hand.

"Grant." Skye stood over him hoping this meant he was waking up. "Grant, Grant can you open your eyes." Skye couldn't believe her eyes when she saw his eyes starting to flutter. "I'll be right back I'm going to get you a doctor." Skye quickly left the room in search of a doctor.

Within a couple of minutes Skye re-entered the room with a doctor in toe. "It's nice to see you awake, Grant. I'm out to take the tube out of your throat so I need you to take a deep breath then blow out. Nod if you understand me." Grant nodded then looked over at Skye and reached out for her hand.

"Aright Grant, take a deep breath and on the count of three blow out for me. One, two, three." The doctor pulled the tube out his throat. Grant coughed when the tube was pulled out. "Skye can you get him a cup of water please." Skye grabbed him a cup of water of the bed side table and held it to his month.

"Thank you." Ward said after taking a couple of sips.

"Grant, we were able to repair the damage and extract the bullets wouldn't out any complications. You're going to be in pain for a little while but I'll give you something for that. You also fell into a coma for the past two weeks which had allowed your body to heal. Do you have any questions?"

"How long will I be here for?" Ward wasn't a fan of hospitals.

"Three possible four days if you rest and stay off your feet as much as possible. If that is all, I'll be back to check on you in the morning."

"Thanks doc." The doctor then left the room.

Ward turned his attention back to Skye, who was crying because so was so happy that he was awake. "Hey don't cry." Ward pulled her closer to him so he could reach up and wipe the tears away.

"I'm so glad you're going to be ok." Skye told him running her fingers through his hair.

"Skye, what you said when I was dying….."

"I meant every word." Skye interrupted him.

"Skye, I'm going to tell Coulson everything I know but I'm going to be going to prison for a very long time." Ward told her.

"You don't know that. Coulson might have something else planned for you." Skye could feel her eyes begin to water again.

"I don't deserve to anything less than a being locked up in a maximum security prison." Ward could look at her. She shouldn't have been there for him. She trusted him and he let her down. He didn't deserve to have her.

"Everyone deserves a second chance." Skye wasn't about to give up on him.

"Not me." Ward let go of her hand. "I think its best you go."

"I'm not leaving."

"Please, I'm tired. We'll talk the morning." Ward stared down at the bed as he spoke to her.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me to go."

"You need to go." Ward looked into her eyes and saw he pain he was causing.

"Fine." Skye grabbed her jacket from the back her chair. Just before she was about to open the door she turned back to him. She saw a broken man but he was the man she was in love with. "I care about you and I know you care about me so I just wish you would let me help to." Skye then left.

Ward sat staring at the door. She was right. He cared about her but everyone he had ever cared about got hurt. Skye had got hurt once before because of him, he couldn't put her through that again. She'll forget about me. He though knowing that the only place he was heading was a prison cell where he would never see he again.
