Everyone took a deep breath before the doctor spoke up again. Fitz was shaking uncontrollably, he needed her to be okay. He couldn't live if she didn't. ''She has lost a huge amount of blood which isn't good at all, that's why she passed out. We've managed to sew the wounds back up and cleaned them. She'll live but it will take time for her to recover.''

The team was so relieved when the doctor said that she will live. That was what Fitz wanted to hear and he did!

''I'm afraid that she'll have to stay in here for a few days. You see, there was a knife wound in her thigh, it has went through her rectus femoris which is a muscle. She will need help walking and we can arrange a few therapy sessions for her to help her with it.''

Fitz listened carefully to every word that the doctor said, when he finally noted all the details in his head, he spoke up as he couldn't keep waiting, ''Can we see her?'' He asked and looked at the doctor with a determined stare. The doctor looked back at him with a disappointed expression, ''She needs rest. I can't let anyone in there.'' He explained apologetically.

Fitz sighed and took a step towards him, the doctor backed up, Coulson placed his hand onto Fitz' shoulder to cool him down as he saw that Fitz was about to release his anger out on the doc. ''Please.'' Fitz begged, tears formed in his eyes again. The doctor looked at him, the apologetic expression was on his face again, he clearly felt sorry for the engineer. ''I need to see her. Please. I promise that I won't disturb her.''

''Alright'' The doctor said, Skye looked up instantly, ''But I will only allow one person.'' He explained before he looked at all of the miserable faces.

''Me. I will go.'' Fitz said a bit louder, Skye wanted to see her best friend but she knew that Fitz would freak out if he didn't see her now. She was important to him and Skye truly wanted the connection to come back between them. ''Okay, then right this way.'' The male doctor said, Skye watched them as they walked through the long hallways before they took a turn.

Coulson stood next to Skye, ''You said that you will get a look at those wounds on your hands when we will hear about Simmons.'' He reminded her, pointing at the cuts on her arms, they didn't hurt anymore, the only thing that did hurt was her heart. Coulson has tried to convince her to get a look at those wounds a few times but she kept refusing, but now she has to accept as they have heard about Jemma and she said she will take a look at them when they do. ''Okay.'' Skye answered before turning the other way and walking to the reception desk, Coulson followed.

He was worried about her but he didn't want to get her mad at the same time, he knows that other people are much more important to her than herself. ''We need medical assistance.''Coulson said because Skye wasn't speaking, he could see that she was lost in her own thoughts that were probably about Jemma.

''Doctor Watson!'' The lady receptionist yelled when she was Skye's hands. Skye didn't even care though, the pain was long gone. Doctor Watson showed up in a few heart beats, his medical kit was tightly fixed in his hands. He pointed at one of the doors near the reception desk and spoke up, ''Right this way.''

Coulson didn't remove his gaze from Skye as they followed the doctor.

Fitz was standing about a meter away from the door that lead into a room where Jemma was, his heart was pounding inside his chest wildly when his hand reached for the door handle. There she was, laying on the bed lifelessly, a bunch of hospital equipment was connected to her body. Her face was pale, very pale. He has never seen her like this and it killed him. Fitz walked towards the bed slowly, fighting his tears back. His eyes stayed focused on her the whole time and the doctor that brought him here left the room.

Fitz stood there for a while, looking at her before slumping into a chair which was beside her bed. He slowly reached for her hand that wasn't wounded, as soon as he touched her the tears came streaming down his face. His hand was gently holding hers, he didn't even wipe his tears away because he was blaming himself, and he felt like he needed to express the guilt. ''If only my choices were different...If only my words were different...'' He whispered, not even holding the tears back anymore.

He remembers how he rejected her when she came back from Hydra. It wasn't her fault that she had to leave, and he finally understood that she did it for him. He wasn't entirely sure why she left when he came back from the come back then, but everyone said that she did it for him and now he seemed to believe it and that's why he was blaming himself. For rejecting her. For not being the Fitz that he should've been.

''I'm sorry Jemma.'' He sobbed and gripped her had even tighter as he brought it up to his forehead, just for reassurance that she was still here. ''It's all my fault, I shouldn't have turned you away when you came back. I shouldn't have done that! It- It was so stupid of me, I know that you left for me, I understand it now, but I wish that I understood it earlier and If I did, none of this would have happened. You would've went on the mission with us. With me. And you would have been safe. I'm sorry.''

The machines that were connected her showed that her heart beat was normal, just like he wanted it to be, that made him happy but he didn't stop talking. ''I should've told you before but-I couldn't do it, I didn't have the courage to tell you. I still feel the same way about you like I did before-Before the incident. You are still more than that.'' After all of these words he calmed down and relaxed into his seat, the liquid was still staining his face. He closed his eyes for a moment before hearing a voice he wasn't expecting to hear for a while.

''Fitz...'' Jemma whispered weakly, she couldn't move as the drugs that she was injected with before the surgery were still wearing off. Her head spun but her eyes managed to stay focused on his face, as much as she wanted to be with him right now she had to bring something up, ''Skye?'' She asked quietly.

''She is okay.'' Fitz replied he didn't let go of her hand, he needed to make sure that she was still here with him even though she was awake. ''Did you?'' He asked a bit worried that she might have heard him. Jemma smiled, he wasn't sure why. She smiled because it was a long time before her and Fitz actually came to contact with each other, it was a while before he held her hand like this, she didn't want him to let go. She misses him, she missed them together.

''Fitz.'' Jemma took a deep breath, ''There is something that I should tell you.'' The smile has faded away because she wasn't sure how Fitz was going to react, she wanted him to react well to this-well it would be nice if he did. She thought that this was the perfect chance to tell him that because they are finally very close to each other, ''What you said before- well before the whole incident, I-I'' Jemma wasn't sure that she could get the words out of her mouth, ''I didn't really had time to tell you that-I feel the same way. You might not feel that way now but I just feel like I should be telling you.''

For the first time Fitz smiled and it seemed to lighten up the whole room, ''Funny.'' He said and Jemma's heart missed a beat. She wasn't sure why this was funny but she was sure that he had a good reason. Jemma took another breath and asked, ''What's funny?''

''I was just talking to you about the whole feelings thing and-well I said that I still feel the same way about you. I miss you. I miss us.'' Fitz finally replied and she placed her other hand on top of his, it was painful but it was worth it, she smiled once their skin's touched.

Then her heart seemed to stop for a second, so did everything around her, everything seemed to be very slow because of fear that just hit her. ''Fitz.'' She said calmly before bringing up a more panicked voice, ''I can't move my leg. I can't move it!''
