Here's another chapter. Enjoy.


Soon the vacation had coming to an end; the team were kind of looking forward to going back to work, but another part of them loved the vacation and relaxation that they were able to have. Jemma's morning sickness had been down to once in a day, but as they started to get ready to leave and head to their latest mission, her morning sickness came back with a vengeance. Skye and Ward stayed close to her and took turns helping her through it; Coulson, May, and Fitz helped too.

Soon they were back into the field ready to get to work and save some lives; Jemma went into the field every once in a while when they believed it was safe. The whole team took turns being with her in the field, though Ward and May were with her the most, since they had the most combat experience and if they were to get into trouble they wanted to be able to get Jemma to safety.

Jemma was looking forward to a time where she didn't have morning sickness and a time where she felt like she was beautiful again. She had put a little more weight on, but Skye and the rest of the team always made her feel like she was a beautiful princess.

"Jemma you'll be staying here in case anything goes wrong. Skye you're with Ward to cover us; May, Fitz, and I will head here and see if we can infiltrate and grab the device. Jemma you'll be here for when we get back with the device." Coulson said giving out orders.

"Yes sir." Jemma said sort of feeling unhappy that she'd have to stay back, but she understood that she had to protect the baby more.

"Good let's get going."

Almost everyone headed to the SUV, Skye stayed behind for a moment knowing that Jemma needed her for a moment. Jemma looked like she was going to cry, she knew that this mission was dangerous, and Skye knew she needed to be reassured that everyone was going to be fine.

"Babe it'll be okay. I love you." Skye said as she kissed Jemma softly.

"I love you too, be careful." Jemma said at the verge of tears.

"I will be, stay safe too."

"I will."

"We'll be back before you know it."

Skye then left Jemma after one more kiss and headed over to the SUV so that they could head to the location of the device they were sent to retrieve. Jemma stayed in her lab going over some samples from the last case they had gathered samples from; she knew that she could get through waiting for them to get home, but she still was going to worry.

Several hours of waiting for the team to arrive they came coming in fast, so fast that Jemma didn't even have time to move from her spot in the lab over to them before May had them in the air and heading to the hub. Ward and Skye came into the lab first with several abrasions and bruises; Jemma immediately started to gather supplies to bandage their wounds. Fitz and Coulson came shortly after with the same abrasions and bruises; Jemma began to help them too after Fitz had set the device on the lab table.

"What exactly happened in there?" Jemma asked concerned.

"They were very strategically ready for anyone or thing that was to enter the camp to get to the device; May will be down once we're far enough away, she has some wounds too." Ward said as he winced when Jemma injected a numbing medication.

"They were definitely prepared for us." Skye said as she helped Fitz with one of his wounds, she had been learning basic care from Jemma.

"I'll start on the device after I finish taking care of you guys." Jemma said as she started to stich us Ward's cut.

"Good. I suggest you all get some rest and we'll brief in the morning." Coulson said as he grabbed some gauze for himself.

"After I do a full evaluation of each of you, I want to make sure that you're all okay."

"Okay."

Jemma continued her work till everyone had passed her evaluations; she and Skye then headed to bed for some cuddling and to talk about what had happened. Fitz and Ward went to their separate rooms as well knowing that they needed to rest; while Coulson and May talked in the cockpit about what had happened.

"You know if she knows that they had almost cornered us, she's going to get angry that we didn't tell her to begin with." May said knowing Jemma was already worried about them.

"I know, maybe we can tell it like we had it covered." Coulson said thinking.

"You and I both know that Skye's already telling her everything."

"Yeah I know. But at least she knows that we'd do anything to get back here."

"She worries a lot."

"I know. I would too if I wasn't able to go into the field."

In Skye and Jemma's pod, Skye was telling Jemma everything that had happened on the mission, even the parts where she and the others were cornered.

"I can't believe you guys were cornered. You could have died." Jemma said crying softly.

"I know Jem. I was worried too. But we got out and were safe. You don't need to worry about what's in the past." Skye said pulling Jemma closer to her.

"I wish I was with you guys."

"I know, but I was glad you weren't. Jemma, you feel this." Skye said taking Jemma's hand and putting it on her heart.

"Yes." Jemma said as she continued to hold her hand against Skye's chest.

"I'm here, I'm alive and I will do anything to come back to you."

"I love you."

"I love you too."
