To Love Is To Trust, Faith a Must

AN: This Chapter may be a little shorter, but I think we're a little overdue for some fluff. The end has a few answers to some questions. If you have any questions you'd like featured leave them in a Review, or a PM. I'll never say No to a Review, even if it's to tell me I suck. I can handle it, I'm a Trained Specialist After all. Any mistakes are my own

Warning- This Chapter contains mentions of Sexual Activity(As before nothing Graphic, but it's just there.)

"All I'm saying Phil is maybe we should just go see Andrew, and just talk." May wasn't usually the one to say those words, personally she hated any form of therapy. "You weren't there today. To say she was horrified was an understatement." May glanced over her shoulder to see Skye on the couch, watching cartoons. The little girl needed all the innocence she could muster up. "Is that really the right call? I mean, I'll back up any decision when it comes to the kids, you know that. But Andrew doesn't normally work with Younger kids." May put a hand on Phil's shoulder, "Yeah but he's the only one we can trust. I wanted to break that man today..." She admitted, The thought of someone hurting her kids made her blood boil. "I know, but you didn't. You stayed strong, for her.. For them. Mel, I love you." But before May could even say the words right back the front door had opened and closed. "Hello, I'm Home." Hunter presented himself. "Hello Princess." He looked over to Skye, she just giggled. "Did you have a good day today?" Skye shrugged. "One of those Days huh? Right, I'll leave you to your cartoons then." Hunter looked over to his parents. "Is Natasha home? I have a... Question regarding some oddly specific personal matters." He smirked, "She's upstairs with Clint." Phil nearly choked on his glass of Water. "Seriously Phil?" Skye looked back over, Hunter was funny and wasn't that bad. She didn't really see much of him, and maybe she liked that part the most, but really he seemed kind. "Let's go outside and play before your Bath Skye, we have a few minutes of daylight left." That sounded like fun to her. "Can Phil come too?" She questioned, "I'd love to." Breaking boundaries still, despite what happened today. "Let's go."

"Oi, Natashaaa." Hunter called out as he made his way up the stairs. "Bloody Hell, the amount of times this girl ignores me." In Hunters immature mind, he had thought maybe Natasha was talking to Clint, or just making out. Hunter was a stickler for making awkward situations. "I'll bloody show her." He whispered quietly as he opened the door. "Natasha I've called you like... Five... Times..." This was not something Hunter ever needed to see, he quickly covered his face.. Natasha shrieked. "Hunter!" He had barged into the room, with... Well, Some kind of intercourse was happening, and Hunter didn't think there was enough Bleach in the world to apply to his brain. Clint was nearly as shocked as she was. "Get.. Get out!" she yelled as she scrambled for her top. "Right.. Uh..Talk later then, yeah?" And he promptly closed the door behind him. Hunter didn't even want to know what they were doing... I mean, he knew what they were doing, but he didn't know what they were doing.. "Maybe I'll tell her later then."

"This why I need lock." Her accent was slipping. "Babe, take a breath." And she did, she wasn't Mad at Hunter, not really. She was more embarrassed than anything. Who wants to see your sibling topless while doing the 'kinky' stuff? "Sorry.." He cupped Natasha's cheek and pulled her into a kiss. "You know... Hunter likes to do things like that on purpose... Be a annoyance I mean, maybe we should be the annoying ones?" She wondered, "What are you proposing Natasha?" Clint raised a questionable eye-brow. "I mean.. I was trying to not be loud. What if I didn't?" Oh... Clint picked up on what she wanted fast. He grinned before he pulled her back into a deep passionate kiss. In retrospect this probably wasn't the best idea.

May and Phil were in the backyard with Skye tossing a small yellow ball around. Skye had a lot of trouble at first catching, but when Phil had suggested to use her left hand she had quickly started to pick up on the concept of catching. "You're getting so much better Skye!" Phil happily stated and Skye beamed over the praise. "Can we try farther?" Skye asked curiously and Phil nodded, "Of course." Phil began pacing back a few feet. "Ready?" Skye happily nodded, "Yup!" Phil had tossed the ball underhand towards Skye, maybe it was just pure luck, but the little girl had perfectly caught the ball. She jumped up and down, shouting "I did it, I really did it! May did you see me?!" May could instantly see the talent from this girl. You'd have to be blind not to see it. "I sure did baby. I think maybe we should find you some kind of Healthy activity to get you involved in." May paused for a moment and looked at Phil before looking back at Skye. "Any ideas?" Skye wondered. She never really thought about it, often told she was bad at everything and was nothing but a mistake or a hindrance always pushed the thoughts of doing things away. But today was proving a lot of things, These people genuinely cared for her, whether she deserved that or not was up in the air still. But she was taken back to May and Natasha fighting. "Um... The thing you and Natasha were doing this morning, I forgot the name." Skye quietly said the last part. She forgot things often. "Martial Arts?" Skye nodded, "Yeah that. Does that hurt to do?" The girl often wondered about such things. Pain wasn't a foreign concept to the girl... But that didn't mean she liked it. "Well, anything in life can sometimes hurt. The important thing to remember is try your best, accidents happen- and if want to learn about Self Defense then there's a Kids Class where Natasha goes. How about Tomorrow night we go check it out?" That was a scary thought. Older Kids and even little kids. "We can just watch Natasha if you'd like." That sounded fine, "'Kay" The girl tried to stifle a yawn. May took the Cue "Bath time and Bed."

"Oh My God." Natasha squealed as she put her phone down, Clint grinned like no other. "Yeah, I am that good." The red head scoffed "No idiot Bobbi just texted me. She's in town, like now. She came to surprise everyone." Clint blinked, wasn't Bobbi at the Academy? "I didn't think she'd get any free time." Well, that made sense since she switched to the Academy. Regular College wasn't doing it, and she basically had grown up, much like Hunter and Natasha that everyone's lives mattered so joining SHIELD Academy felt right. "Well, she'll be here in the Morning, besides you have like an hour to leave." 60 Minutes? "So we still have time-" Natasha cut the man off, "You're a pig Clinton, you're going to SHIELD, not War." The Man just shrugged, can't blame the Man for trying, "Besides Skye will be going to bed soon." At the request of her Mother Natasha had stayed up stairs most of the Day. She figured Skye needed some Mommy/Daughter time, even if Skye didn't see it that way yet.

Skye had finished her bath with little to no problems, and brushing her teeth was relevantly simple. She was actually looking forward to any kind of bonding she could get with May. The Hard part was Bedtime, Phil was in there tonight with May and that felt nice, Skye had crawled into the bed as May turned on her night-light. "Can you tell me a Story?" She requested, blanket in one hand, her Thumb had slowly crept its way to her Mouth.. Skye loved stories, the problem was no one ever read them to her at the Orphanage and she couldn't really read that well. "Of course. You know Phil has some great stories about Captain America. That's his favorite Super-Hero." May whispered that last part. "Who's Captain America?" Skye wondered, She knew of Spider-Man and she liked him. May chuckled and Phil took a seat next to the bed. "He's the Best Super-Hero ever, Captain America was the one who defeated The Red Skull, a evil bad guy." Phil had probably told the stories a million times but each time he told it felt like the first. "Once Upon a Time long ago Bad guys were out on a mission. They wanted to take the good guys out, One Special Scientist developed a special Medicine to make a Man Strong, a Hero that protects people." Skye was instantly fascinated with the story. "Like Spider-Man!" She giggled. "Exactly like Spider-Man. Anyway-" Phil trailed off in his story as he watched the girls eyes slowly droop.

10 Minutes hadn't even passed before she fell asleep.

"Sweet Dreams Skye." Phil gently whispered, "Goodnight Baby."

"Little late for Wine isn't it Mom?" May was caught off guard when Natasha and Clint came down the stairs. May shrugged, "it's only... 8 o'clock. Besides today has been a long day." May wasn't usually a drinker, the occasional glass of Wine every now and then. "Clint has to finish packing." It was a sad thing to admit, and frankly she hated saying goodbye. Not that it was a forever goodbye, but that didn't mean it didn't suck any less. "Clinton, safe trip. Don't be too much of a pain in the ass, alright?" Phil pulled Clint in for a hug. May pulled him in for one too as soon as Phil let him go. "Stay sharp kid, You've got one hell of an eye, be proud of that skill." Clint nodded, "Yes Ma'am." This was one of those awkward moments Natasha had where she had to decide if one final kiss goodbye was appropriate, ultimately she said screw it and pulled Clint into a kiss. It wasn't a heated kiss, no. It was a different type. It was the kind of kiss that sent chills through your body- as though the Universe was telling you that everything in this moment, was just right. "Call me.. I'm serious Clint." A laugh escaped his lips, "Don't worry Babe. I really do have to go though. I'm a little behind my Schedule."

Watching Clint leave was still tough. That part didn't settle right, even among... Physical Activity they had done a fair share of talking. Mainly about their plans for the future and such. Her consideration for the Academy was slowly rising in her mind.

Hunter had made his way down the stairs with a ... Rather Cheeky Grin, "Thank God he left. I like Barton and all but God Damn you two go at it like Rabbits." May nearly choked on her Wine as she gave Hunter a pissed off glare. Natasha had turned a beet red. May looked over at Phil and couldn't make out his expression, which was unsettling considering that used to be her life. "Before you yell Phil, just remember Skye is sleeping and we don't need another incident." His tone died down a bit before it even started at her words. She was right, Skye didn't need to think him yelling was a normal occurrence.. "Hunter... You.. I can't believe you right now." She cautiously eyed her Dad who at this point grabbed May's glass and downed the thing. Phil wasn't ready for this... "Explain yourself." His voice was stern and quite but still held the sharpness in the air. "How do you think Hunter found out?" She glared at her brother. "He" She raised her finger at Hunter, "Barged in my room without knock." Her accent was slipping again. "He saw me." Natasha took a deep breath, and released it. "Mom knew about me and Clint. Oh yeah and since we're tattling on people here, he also saw me Naked." Well, this took a complete 180 on Hunter didnt it? "Thankfully I didn't see anything, and what I did see I've properly repressed it."

Everyone could tell Phil wanted to yell, not yell yell but... Loudly talk.. "Lance how many times have we said Privacy is important? And you.. Natasha you're still a baby. You can't be... Mel help me out here." Phil desperately requested to his Wife. "She's a big girl." Was all May said, "Maybe it's time we have The Talk..." Natasha shook her head, "We've already had it. Daddy come on, I'm be 17 in 3 Days.." He glared at his Daughter, unsure whether he was supposed to keep calm. "Don't you 'Daddy' me. You're too Young for this!" He exclaimed. It wasn't ideal but it was after all 100 percent consensual. "I don't like this, not one bit. Mel, how are you okay with this?" May raised her eye-brow in a daze. "We can't control her Sex life. We've raised our kids to make responsible choices." May paused in her words as she turned toward Natasha, "Just tell me you used.. Protection."

"Why are we having this conversation? Oh. My. God." At this point Natasha's face must have matched her hair. "Yes, are you happy now? We... We were safe."

Phil half sighed half cheered, none of this ideal but at least he was raising his kids... Somewhat properly.

"Ahem. On a totally unrelated note now that the heat has been properly attached to Natasha, I Lance Hunter Coulson am joining SHIELD." The room really quieted down and silence quickly ensued. You could almost cut the tension with a knife. "On that note, I'm going to bed." Natasha quickly darted for the stairs.

"Sit...Down... Now." The two growled at Hunter

Skye woke up with a Jolt, again. This time it was a bad dream and not screaming. Her little lamp was still casting it's glow across the room and she was breathing very Heavily. All she remembered was the Dog chasing her, but her cries for help were left unheard. As though she didn't exist. Skye really wanted May and tears were streaming down her face now. She wasn't crying per say but she was really close. She stood up and grabbed her blanket and made her way to the door. Each step made her heart rate increase. What if the Dog was in the House? May had told her she could come find her at any time, but the House was really Dark and Natasha's room was much closer. The choice was obvious, She carefully reached for the doorknob and twisted the handle. She had hoped Natasha wouldn't be mad for coming in her room. It was Dark in there too and Skye could only barely make out a red-head with messy hair sleeping soundly. "Tasha?" She quietly called out. But she didn't answer. "Tasha are you awake?" She was close to crying now, "Skye?" The girl mumbled out. "What's wrong." Skye felt bad now, she shouldn't have woken Natasha up. "I'm sorry! I had a bad dream." It was only when Natasha flicked her light on the nightstand on did she see the tears pouring down Skye's face. "Oh Malyutka It's okay." It absolutely was not okay! Skye hated that she was a 'Stupid Cry-Baby' "I woked you up, I'm sorry." The Red-head could feel her Heart Shatter. "Skye, I don't mind. I want you to come find me or Mommy or Daddy.. Even Hunter if you need us. We will never turn you away, want to talk about it?" Skye thought about that, she was still only half awake with her chest still pounding like drums. "S'bout the Doggie He chased me." Oh this poor baby. Natasha just wanted to bundle her up. "That Doggie cannot get you anymore, Now.. Would you like to sleep with me? I can help keep the bad dreams away." Skye had thought maybe she was too old, but here she was crying like a toddler anyway, but she felt safe when she took a nap with May. She found herself nodding without realizing and climbed into the bed when Natasha had made room for her. "All better now?" Skye nodded again, her Thumb had found its way to her Mouth again as she began to calm down and cuddled closer to her sister... Sister. Skye smiled at the thought, This was Her Sister. "I love you Tasha." She said around her Thumb. Perhaps it was a little early to be throwing the 'L' bomb, but it felt so natural. "I love you too Maluytka, sweet dreams."

AN: I don't know if people like small Q&A's I figured it was a good thought to feature people who follow the story. I'll try and keep them brief if I get enough Questions I'll try and make Each Chapter with at least 2.
Also- I want to mention, I'm trying to band everyone together to get SHIELD Renewed for its 5th Season. If you have any SHIELD collectibles or some words on what the show means to you, send them to me here or my twitter- PrinceMikeVG . I'm working on a big collaboration video.

Q-'Where do you see the Story heading?'
A- Interesting question, ultimately I'd like to break Skye out her fearful Habits, as for the 'Story' itself, I guess at this point everyone knows SHIELD in my Universe exists but not on the same scale as the Main Universe, there's some massive similarities but mainly my difference is, it's all 'Real' so to speak, and you'll all find out eventually- however We see the Idea of SHIELD floating around with Natasha, and Hunter's sudden leap. I know How I want the Story to end to set-up for a Sequel that hasn't been done(that I could find) with a Kid!Skye Fic, getting there is a process.

Q-'Where do you get your inspiration?'
A- Well, I guess that's a common question for people who make some kind of 'Content' And I've made so many friends on FF around the globe more or less who are great with ideas and suggestions. It's one of the reasons I try and push our Community together, Here or Twitter. We're a Family, so.. Fans of SHIELD or in general who share the same interests are my Inspirations so to speak. (Too sappy?)
