Author's Note: Last chapter it's been fun, I honestly didn't think I would write this quickly but I have way too much time on my hands and when I have an assignment due all I can actually do is write stories.

Sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes in the story, I am my own proof reader.

Thanks for all the follows and reviews, please keep the reviews coming I really appreciate the feedback and if I get enough favourites I might even write a sequel depending on how much time I have on my hands. It also depends on how Tuesday's episode goes, I'm hoping it's something like this.

For the last time: I do not own Agents of SHIELD, otherwise this story would be the next episode.

Chapter 10

Sometime during Grant Ward's story Skye made her way from the chair onto the bed. Purely on instinct, she wanted to be closer to the man.

"… and that's when I shot him." Finishing his story, Ward turned to face Skye, only to find on the bed next to him, "umm, so, umm, any questions?"

Skye hung her feet off the end of the bed, "So Coulson honestly didn't know?"

Ward shook his head, "No one but Fury and Hill knew. Fury didn't know how deep HYDRA ran. Not even Alexander Pierce knew and for that I am ever grateful."

Skye looked at her hands, "So am I."

Ward smiled, there was hope for them yet.

Suddenly Skye stood, jumping off the bed as she did, "I should get going, I suspect that you're going to have an early morning."

Ward looked at her confused, "What makes you say that?"

Skye crossed her arms, "I saw Fury leave, he wants back inside HYDRA doesn't he?"

Ward nodded, "Yeah, tomorrow morning."

Skye nodded sadly, "Like I said, I should be going."

Heading to the door Skye was shocked when Ward grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. She even more shocked when he crashed his lips into hers. Part of Skye wanted to pull away, to slap him for playing with her feelings and disappearing again, but she couldn't and hungrily returned the kiss.

When they finally came up for air Ward rested his head against Skye's. He was the first to speak, "I told him to get lost."

A wide smile spread across Skye's face, "So you won't go undercover ever again?"

Pulling Skye closer, Ward smiled, "Only if Coulson wants me to."

Skye looked him in the eyes, her happiness shining through her own, "Does that mean you're coming back to the team?"

"If they'll have me."

"They will, they may even forgive you in time. I did." Skye smiled as she wrapped her arms around Ward's neck, "Well, Robot, if you ever go undercover again I want a code word, just so I don't have to shoot your sorry ass."

Ward smiled at the nickname, he had missed it, "Cupcakes?"

Skye let out a laugh, her first true and full laugh since the fall of SHIELD, "Cupcakes?" barely containing herself.

Ward lent in to the woman he loved, "It's another long story."

Skye smiled as she brushed her lips against his, "We have all night."

Ward smile widened as he was pulled towards the bed. It was good to be free.

It wasn't happily ever after, not even close, but it was a step in the right direction.
