Alicia's P.O.V
I knocked on the door of a small white house. A woman, who looked to be in late 60's with pure white hair that was pulled back in a short ponytail answered the door.
" Alicia, we were hoping. Come in come in." the old woman ushered me in
" It's good to see you, Rose. What a pleasant surprise! Kaitlyn didn't tell me you were coming." I smiled kissing her cheek.
" Well I wanted to surprise you. Kaitlyn and little KatyRo are in the dining room" Rose said calling my daughter by her nickname that she had been given at a young age so people wouldn't get confused with her and her grandmothers.
I walked into the small dining. The lights cast a soft glow. Sitting in one of the chairs a woman in her early 50's with brown hair that were starting to gray slightly. She was holding the hands of a young little girl who was trying to balance her small legs.
" Alicia!" The woman smiled warmly. " Hey KatyRo , your Momma's here."
" Mommy" my daughter shouted getting off Kaitlyn's lap and ran over.
I scooped her into my arms. She was a combination of myself and Matt. She had Matt's straight hair and my red hair though it was a toned down to copper you could see some of Matt's brown hair in her. She had my porcelain skin and both of our green eyes though KatyRo's eyes were more soft than my vibrant sharp green ones.i
" Hey honey" I gave a her a gentle kiss on her head.
" I'm making my famous quiche, Alica" Rose went over to the oven to check on the quiche.
" Sounds delicious, Rose. Are you going to have some of Grandmama's quiche, KatyRo? I smiled.
" Yeah!" KatyRo flashed her pearly white baby teeth." Sounth god"
" So how is your government work with S.H.I.E.L.D isn't it it?" asked Kaitlyn handing me a cup of green tea.
I choked in the tea which didn't help since it was scorching hot. They weren't suppose to know about my job with S.H.I.E.L.D. " What? How!" I gasped after my throat didn't burn as badly.
" Matthew suspected you weren't telling the whole truth with the government job so one day he dropped KatyRo off with Kaitlyn and followed you to work to that huge building with that runway near the New York airport. He didn't get far cause of security, but he saw you swipe your card under and they did some crazy tech stuff. About an hour later, he saw. you come out and walking to the runway in some different outfit.. Lab coat and stuff was it Kaitlyn. He saw the S.H.E.L.D emblem and he came back to report." explained Rose, who sat down with her own cup of tea.
" The little stalker!" I mumbled." My senses are getting too rusty."
" He wanted to learn more about you and he knew you were secretive. After you came home with some bruises all over your body that had been last straw for Matt. So he started researching more about S.H.I.E.L.D and your position in it. He suspected you worked more in the lab and not often went in active field judge by your best injuries. ." put in Kaitlyn.
I fell quite letting KatyRo happily hum and play with my hair. I knew he had deserved to know, but it stung that he did all that behind my back.
" He wanted the best for you, Alicia dear. Matthew was looking out for you." Rose looked at me softly.
" I know it stings though." I sighed I would tell them a little of the truth." I use to be an active field agent but after an accident I changed to the lab and on other occasions I have to go in the field for other things...the less you know the better."
I saw Rose and Kaitlyn exchanged troubled looks they knew I was scurrying around the edges. I took another sip of the tea it was suddenly very cold. It was best they less they knew the better. Rose got up and took out the quiche and started plating it. She put some salad on the plates as a side then she handed them to us. KatyRo happily sat in my lap already shoveling pieces of quiche in her small mouth with the help of her fingers and fork.
" How long since he found out?" I asked quietly.
" About 3 months before his accident" Kaitlyn answered her voice somber.
I flinched had died little less than a year ago in a huge car accident that killed 3 other people and injured 2 people. I took shaky deep breath trying to calm down. Yet I couldn't push away the feeling of guilt and sorrow.
" We miss him too dear" Rose gripped my hair from over the table.
" But It's my fault he is dead." I whispered .
" What did you say?" Kaitlyn looked at me.
Both of Rose and her had turned very pale hearing what I said. By that my who,e body was shaking I fought a useless battle of tears. KatyRo noticed my tears and stopped eating. She worriedly put her hand on face. I pulled myself together and assured KatyRo that Mommy was fine.
" I said I k-killed Matthew." my voice cracked despite my efforts. Silent tears streaming down my face felt that felt like fire.
