May watched as Skye meandered round the kitchen. She was never going to admit it but, she did have a soft spot for the younger agent and loved her like a daughter. "Hey Skye. If you want to, you can go to the gym I'll be there in a sec."

"Okay. See you there!" She jumped off the bar stool with her iPad and went to the gym. May finished with the sausages and eggs and went to see Skye.

"Hey hey! Calm down!" May dodged as Skye turned away from the punching bag swiping in her direction. "Oops! Sorry! I lost control!"

"As usual." May replied, ignoring her apology. May unwrapped Skye's bandages for punching and they both laid out the mats for Tai Chi.

When they both started the whining from Skye began. "Urgh seriously!" And "I can't reach!" And "Damn blasted foot!" May sighed and paused, "Skye, breathe slowly and don't talk." She proceeded. The talking stopped for about five minutes until Skye tripped over her right foot and landed on the floor with a thump.

"Ow..." She moaned into the mat.

"How many times have I told you NOT to turn around but to bend down!?"

"Well only about five, WOAH!" Skye chuckled as May flipped her onto her back within 3 seconds.

"No back chat Skye!"

"Yes mum!" Skye groaned smirking. May's face was dead pan but Skye could tell she was enjoying their mother-daughter relationship. Skye was the first to hear Coulson chuckle by the door frame.

"Hey guys just came to watch my best agent and latest agent train, that ok?"

"Yeah sure except we're not really training anymore." She grinned in May's direction as she stood up.

"Yeah. We were until she tripped over her own big foot." May glared at Skye but the smile made Skye warm to her.

"You love me really." She sing-songed.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do!"

"Where's the proof?"

"Everyone can see you love me!"

"Shut up Skye and start moving the mats away. I'll let you off today but be here tomorrow at 6:00 and 50 press ups. We might just have to make our sparring session longer." She said strictly making Coulson snort. Skye stormed off but smiled brightly when going past Coulson. "Morning Director." And with that she went.

Coulson walked up behind May and rubbed her shoulders.

"You know May-"

"Don't."

"I was gonna say... Your adorable when your strict."

May blushed and shoved his hands off her. She said nothing when he wrapped his arms around her waist. She leant into him. She really did love him but would never dare to admit it. Reason be, she didn't want to lose him again...
