Day Four! This is a Jemma/Skye sister pairing, in which Fitzsimmons is engaged! So…here ya go!
"Will you be my maid of honor?"
The question shocked Skye. The wedding for Fitzsimmons would be small, with family and only very close friends. Skye thought that Jemma would want her real sister to be her maid of honor. Yet here was the beaming scientist, her engagement ring sparkling from her linked hands.
"Me?" Skye gaped. "You want me to be your maid of honor?"
"Of course!" Jemma smiled. "Your my best girl friend, we spend most of our time together, of course when I'm not with Leo, but you know...we're basically sisters."
"Sisters?" tears sprung in Skye's eyes. She knew that she and Jemma were very close, and often thought of Jemma that way, but this was something else. Hearing her say it, being asked to be the maid of honor...it was amazing. Skye finally felt like she had a firm place, not only as a member of the team, but as a close connection with someone else. Jemma's sister.
"Is that why you wanted me to come pick out a Christmas tree with you?" Skye smiled through her tears.
"Yes," Jemma said, looking at the large ones around them. Coulson said they could get a big, fake tree to put up in the BUS this year, giving the Christmas decorating task to the two girls. "This was special to me as a child, and I always wished I had a sister to come to do this with. I figured it would be a good a time as any to ask you to be my maid of honor."
So she doesn't have a sister. "Jemma, I'd love to be your maid of honor. So far, you're the only family I have."
Jemma squealed and hugged Skye tightly. "Wonderful! Leo will be so happy, he wanted you in the wedding, we're thinking of making May and Coulson the guests of honor, and of course Ward will be in the wedding..."
The wedding chatter continued until they loaded a tree back onto the plane. The girls headed to bed, Jemma stopping momentarily at Skye's bunk. They smiled at each other as the latter climbed onto her bed.
"Skye?" Jemma said softly.
"What's up?" Skye answered.
"I was thinking back to what you said, about me being your only family..."
"Yeah?"
"Well, I just wanted to let you know that you're wrong. Everyone on this plane is your family."
