Chapter 4
May ponded her fists against Coulson's chest. She had not taken the news of Bethany living by herself for the past 6 months very well. However it was only when he confessed that he had never hold Bethany he was still alive, May started hitting him. Coulson stood there and took the punches knowing that May had every right to be angry with him. After a few moments of May punching him he graded her wrists and pulled her towards him. May struggled against Coulson's hold. She continued to hit him and tried to push him away but he only wrapped his arms around her tighter. Giving in May collapsed into Coulson's arms crying. Coulson hated seeing her cry and he had managed to make her cry for the second time that day. Keeping his tight grip around her, he sat down on the floor placing her on his lap. As time pasted Coulson ran his fingers through her hair whilst keeping a tight hold on her and she began to stop crying listening to the sound of his heartbeat. They sat there for what seemed hours before May tilted her head up to look at Coulson. She could tell that he had also been crying and that here was also so much sorrow in his eyes.
"I'm sorry" Coulson whispered resting his forehead on May's.
"Shhh…."She placed a finger on his lips to quieten him. "We'll get through this."
"Will we?" He wasn't that convinced. The last time they told each other they would 'get through this' ended with them separating. He feared that if things didn't turn out right with him and Bethany it could make the distance grow between him and May, and this time it would end in a divorce.
May sighed. He had every right to have doubts because she was having them to. She so badly wanted to make it clear to him that everything was going to work out. She wanted nothing more than for the three of them to be a family again. Being on the plane had given her time to think about why they had separated, how much she had really missed him and how much she still loved him. However their past was a painful place and it was a place neither of them wanted to visit it. Like him, she knew that things were not end well between them if he and their little girl didn't get back on the right track. The only way forward then would be for her to leave S.H.I.E.L.D to take care of Bethany full time and for them to divorce.
