It was Monday morning and Jemma made breakfast for their son. She placed a banana and a toast with jam on the kitchen table as Matthew came running in the kitchen
„Mom, mommy tickles me!" he giggled and hid behind the british woman, as her wife came into the kitchen with noticeable wet hair and also wearing a wet shirt.
„What happend?" she asked with a smirk
„Your son thought it would be funny to splash water in my face instead of washing himself"
„My son? I think that's more your character trait"
„Shut up" she said and cupped Jemma's face to kiss her properly good morning
Skye broke the kiss as she noticed their four-year old grabbing her grey t-shirt and saying:
„I'm hungry!"
Skye's laptop was placed on the counter top and she quickly looked through her mails, before heading off to work in a few minutes. Meanwhile Matt bit into his toast.
„Don't forget to drink your milk, sweetheart" Jemma said
„Ohhh mom, why do I have to drink milk" he said with a pout „I don't want it"
„If you drink milk you'll grow big and strong. There's much calcium in it and vitamin D, which helps absorb all the calcium. Drinking milk results in great dental health and also, it makes your bones strong, which is important" the scientist lectured
The little boys mouth hung open
„What she means is that you'll get super rad superpowers from drinking milk, like, your bones will get super strong and all" Jemma rolled her eyes at her wife but still smiled.
„Ohhhh" he said with big eyes and looked at his glass „but today I don't want it mommy, my bones are very strong today, look!"
With that he sprung from his chair and did a handstand.
„Wow young man" Skye smirked „you're really pretty strong" He smiled at the compliment.
„Matt, at least eat your banana" Jemma demanded but a smile tugged on her lips.
„aright!" he crawled on his chair to reach the banana and peeled it.
He took a large bite „Look how much fits in my mouth!" he said mouthful. Skye bursted into laughter while Jemma pointed out his manners, but he just smiled, happy about making his mommy laugh. And Jemma gave Skye her typical he-got-this-behaviour-from-you glare. But Skye just shrugged and kissed Jemma.
Skye was at work, working on a code which was nearly finished, when she got a call from Matt's kindergartner, Raquel, that her son was in the hospital. Skye immediately sprung to her feet, asking how it had happened and how bad it was, but Raquel just reassured her and said she should come immediately to the County Lion hospital.
Skye hurried to her boss and said there was a family emergency and he said that she should hurry up and when it's really bad she could even get a few days off.
On the way to the hospital she called Jemma, mostly because she was scared and didn't know what else to do. He never was in the hospital before, well at least not because he was seriously hurt, but she didn't even know what happened.
She arrived pretty much at the same time Jemma did and together they ran through the hospital searching for their 4-year old.
They found him sitting on a bench in front of a doctors office. His little legs wiggled over the edge of the bench and he wore a cast around his tiny arm. Skye's heart dropped at the sight.
„Matthew!" Jemma said embracing him in a hug „What happened?"
Skye also kneeled in front of him, and patted his dark blond hair.
„I fell from the jungle gym and at first it didn't hurt but then I wanted to climb on it again and then I couldn't move it. It hurt real much and then Raquel said it was broken that means that my bone is in two pieces now which isn't good because that hurts" he explained and they both just looked at him with worried expressions.
„it happened because I didn't drink my milk" he looked at his lap, as if he was ashamed of himself
„Oh buddy of course not!" Skye said taking his little hand in hers
„We're glad you're okay, does it hurt now, anywhere?" he looked at Jemma and said: "No mom it was just soooo boring waiting here, the doctor said I was just allowed to sit here"
Skye chuckled and as the boy noticed he chuckled to, crinkling his nose in the process and his parents were glad nothing serious had happened to their child.
„Are you two the parents?" a voice said and they turned around to see a black-haired doctor in a white coat. „Yes, that's our son" Skye said proudly
„Nice to meet you, Mrs...?"
„I'm Jemma Simmons and that's Skye" she said and quickly grabbed her hand to give it a light squeeze
„Well, Mrs and Mrs Simmons I'm Doctor Linton, it seems like your son broke his arm. It's nothing serious though, he needs to come in two weeks again so we can change his cast. Other than that he's fine"
„We're glad" Jemma said with a sincere smile
„Yeah and he's really a bundle of energy and also very curious, aren't we?" he looked at Matt who just giggled and continued wiggling his legs.
„We can confirm that" Jemma said remembering when Skye had to chase him through the whole house as he just didn't want to go to bed. He hid everywhere from her and lastly she found him in the clothes basket, asleep between laundered shirts and pants. She remembered Skye laughing and how she showed her where their son had fallen asleep in process of hiding from them to not go to bed. Skye took a picture with her phone, before carrying him gently to bed. She'd printed out the picture and had hung it in her office at work, the other day.
„I told him to sit here and 5 minutes later he was vanished. One of the nurses found him sitting on a chair in the ambulance talking to strangers, they seemed to have fun though, because he clearly made them smile" the doctor said „But she'd brought him here again, so he wouldn't disappear again"
„Yep, sounds totally like our boy" Skye said, raising her eyebrows
„Can we go to the playground now!" they all looked at the little boy and Jemma said „You have to get some rest, you have a broken arm after all"
In the evening
„Mommy can I have a glass of milk?"
„yeah sure" she smiled
„I don't like breaking bones, that's so boring and it also looks boring, no superhero has a cast, they didn't even give me one with a cool color, it's just white!"he pouted
„Well, how about mommy and me paint you something on it?" Jemma suggested
„Buddy, sit still otherwise I will mess up" Skye said trying to paint the last little details on it
Skye had the idea to paint him the Iron Man gauntlet, Jemma had painted the base, covering his cast in red paint, and the top of his cast yellow, and Skye was adding the details now, painting it like it was Iron Mans arm.
And 90 minutes later, his left arm looked like he was half transformed into Iron Man. As it was finished he jumped up and down, he loved it.
„So so cool!"
„I am Iron man now!"
„Wooooohoo!"
„Well, I guess it's going to be hard to get him in bed today" Jemma sighed
Skye wrapped her arms around the scientists waist „It was your idea"
To shut her up Jemma just pressed her lips to Skye's, tangling her hands in her hair.
„Matt, go brush your teeth!" Jemma said for the third time
„I am Iron Man I don't need no rules!"
i hope this was ok, and milk is important! drink it enough ok, also i dont know anything about iron man so i apologize ! i hope you have a really good day =)
