Halloween
Skye woke up by a tiny toddler jumping up and down their bed.
„Mom, mommy, today's Halloween!" he said as he crawled on Skye's stomach.
He leaned forward, grabbed both sides of the womans face with his little hands and kissed her on the cheek.
„Mommy wake up"
As Jemma rolled over to face their son, he quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek ,too, and said excitingly „Good morning mom today's Halloween!"
„Dear, there's still one hour left before you have to get ready for kindergarten" Jemma said sleepily as she ran her fingers through the little boys hair.
His hair was blond, but it would get darker in time. He was in his pyjamas that Skye bought for him two months ago and since then he refused to go to sleep without these exact pjs. It had blue and red stripes and a pirate with a sword was placed on the front.
„Get up, get up" he grabbed Skye by the wrist and tried to pull her up but instead he lost his grip and fell on his back.
Skye and Jemma both giggled. „Matty, how about you look what you're gonna wear today and me and your mom will make breakfast "
„Okay" he crawled out of their bed and walked towards the door.
As Skye heard the fading footsteps she leaned over and kissed her wife gently, „Morning baby"
„Wonderful morning, my darling" she replied as she leaned in for another kiss.
"Matthew are you ready?" Jemma called through their house as she stood in the doorway, waiting for him to appear.
"Mom I can't find Fitzy" he pouted and sat on the floor as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't want to go without him mom"
"Did someone say Fitzy?" Skye questioned as she came down the stairs, in one hand a stuffed monkey.
"Fitzy!" the boy ran towards Skye and grabbed his monkey and hugged him tightly
"Thank you mommy" he hugged the womans leg and Skye lifted him up and rested him on her hips
"Are you ready for kindergarten? " she smiled
"Yes!"
Skye picked him up from kindergarten and all he could talk about was the upcoming night. He said, that his friends were all going too, as an alien, ghost, fairy.
„But I will look much cooler!" he giggled
They got him dressed up as a pirate. It was his wish.
„Do you want me to draw you a beard?"Jemma asked him.
„Yeeah and a big scar!"
„A big scar? What happened to you, little pirate?" she asked as she lifted him gently on the kitchen counter top
„I fighted a sea monster! It wanted to eat my ship"
„That sounds horrible" the scientist said as she applied black paint on his chin and around his mouth to make it look like a beard
„Yes it was but I wasn't scared" he said proudly.
„It's okay to be scared, you know"
„Yes but mommy said I never have to be because I am strong and if someone wants to make me scared I can kick their butt!"
„Mommy said this?"
„She did!" he smiled, looking at her with his big hazel eyes.
„Oh god he has your eyes" Skye had said as she'd looked the first time in his eyes. They were at the hospital and baby Matt was laying peacefully in Jemma's arms.
„What am I going to do now?" she had said as she covered her face in her hands
„I will never be able to say 'no' to him, he will just look at me with your eyes and... that's it I will give in" she had said „Jemma Simmons I curse your beautiful-gorgeous genes" She remembered how she had to laugh about it. It had made her feel all warm.
„Hey buddy, hey prettiest wife ever" Skye said as she came in, a bag with groceries in her hand. She high-fived their son „Wow, we have a real badass over there" she winked at Jemma and gave her a longing kiss.
„Ready!" the little boy called eagerly.
"Look what I have for you" Skye said as she showed Matt a sword she'd bought earlier
„Is it for me?"
„Yeah now you're a real pirate"
„Thank you soo much mommy!" he said excitingly, as he grabbed the sword from his mothers hands and pretended a few times he would fight an invisible opponent
Skye saw how Jemma gasped and she quickly put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer as she whispered „Relax baby, it's made out of foam, there's no way he'll injure someone with this, also it's not made of any sickening chemicals, I checked"
She felt Jemma relax under her grip and smiled. „Matt, no pointing at other faces, okay? And don't hurt anyone" Skye reminded him
„no, I promise!"
The time passed in a flash. Matt got many sweets and as the met some of his kindergarten friends, they all had complimented him on his costume. It made him grin and he gave a kid who hadn't many sweets in their bag a handful of his. Seeing this made Jemma squeeze Skye's hand tighter.
They were home shortly after seven pm. After denying that he wasn't tired he fell asleep as soon as Jemma tucked him in. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then returned to Skye who was giving sweets to kids who were out late, hunting for candy. As she closed the door behind her, Skye fished a bonbon out of the bag and threw it into her mouth.
„Aren't they for the kids?" Jemma asked and raised her eyebrows, causing Skye to childishly hide the bag behind her back.
„Don't know what you're talking about"
„Oh really?" she smirked, wrapping her arms around her waist
„Mhhmm" Skye hummed, her eyes suddenly paralyzed by her wife's lips. It felt like it had been ages since Skye kissed Jemma. Though it had been surely just an hour.
Jemma had noticed the look on Skye's face and leaned in closer. Just close enough to hover over her lips, not actually touching them. She loved teasing Skye, she had always so little patience when it came to such things. The biochemist was just about to close the last millimetres between them as the doorbell ringed, which made her pull away and Skye made a disappointing face. She opened the door and gave them their candy a little too quickly, and Jemma grinned at her.
„So... where were we?"
„I just wanted to go to make some tea..." Jemma said and turned around to head into the kitchen but Skye grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer
„I don't think that was what you had in mind 2 minutes ago"
„Well, Skye, since I'm certainly sure you can't read minds, it's impossible to tell what I.."
the last words didn't make it over her lips because they were covered with soft ones that were tasting like candy. Skye pushed Jemma backwards, hopefully leading her to her bedroom, and as they passed their sons bedroom door, both giggling, Jemma put a finger to Skyes lips and whispered
„I think we have to be quiet"
"Let's see how quiet you can be in 10 minutes" and with that she removed Jemma's shirt and proceeded to kiss her passionately. And as a moan escaped her lips, Skye imitated the british accent and said
"We have to be quiet, dear"
