Skye POV

When she woke up in the morning, she could the hear the roar of pouring rain outside. She got up, took a long steamy shower, and got dressed. When she walked out of her room, she noticed that it was alarmingly quiet. She looked in Violet's room and found that she wasn't there.

"Violet?" She called out.

There was no answer.

She looked around the apartment, then looked outside. Violet was playing outside in the rain. She was running around, laughing and playing around the sidewalk. Skye opened the door and shouted,

"Violet! Come inside! It's pouring out there."

Violet came in, soaking wet.

"You must be freezing!" Skye exclaimed, wrapping Violet in a towel.

Violet started shivering.

"It is cold outside," The little girl admitted, wrapping the towel closer to herself.

"What were you doing there without asking me?" Skye asked.

Violet shrugged.

"I didn't know I had to ask."

"Let me get you into some warm, dry, clothes," Skye told her, going to the nearest suitcase and unzipping it. She found Violet's clothes. She took out an outfit and asked Violet if she would go to her room and change into that. Violet looked at her warily.

"You won't be in there?" She asked nervously.

"Nope," Skye answered, "Go in there and do it yourself."

She went into her room, closed her door tight, and began to undress. Skye waited outside the door. In a few minutes, Violet came out of her room. She was wearing a striped hoodie and jeans.

"Are you warm enough in those clothes?" Skye asked.

"Yep!" The little girl answered, "Can we play a board game?"

"Sure."

Skye got out Monopoly and they played it. Skye was winning because Violet wasn't paying attention. She was entranced with the cuckoo clock that was hanging on the wall. She was waiting for it to cuckoo.

"You know," Skye remarked, jumping three spaces, "It'll never cuckoo if you keep looking at it."

Violet turned around, her face full of surprise.

"Never?" She asked, eyes wide.

Skye shook her head.

"Never."

Violet looked at the board.

"You landed on one of my propties!" She exclaimed in excitement.

"That's properties," Skye corrected, "How much do I owe you?"

"Twelve dollars," Violet answered, smiling.

Skye paid her.

"How did you learn to read?" Skye asked for she had assumed that Miles had kept her alone in the Hydra base.

Violet looked at her strangely.

"I went to school. Duh!"

Skye's eyebrows went up in surprise.

"There is a school at the Hydra base?" She asked.

"Of course!" Violet answered, rolling the dice.

She rolled a seven and landed on Go to Jail.

"Aww darn!" She exclaimed, moving herself to jail.

Skye was confused. Why would there be a school at the Hydra base? Then it hit her like a slap in the face. Hydra agents had kids who were training to be Hydra agents.

"Did you train to be a Hydra agent?" Skye asked.

"Nope," Violet said nonchalantly, rolling doubles, "Yay! I'm out of jail!"

"You don't learn to be an agent until you're in the fifth grade."

All of a sudden, Skye felt like she was going to be sick. She raced to the bathroom and promptly threw up.

"Skye!" Violet called, racing after her, "Are you okay?"

When she reached the bathroom and saw what was happening, she exclaimed in disgust,

"Eww! You're throwing up!"

After Skye had finished, she wiped her mouth off and washed her face.

"Ugh!" She exclaimed, flushing the toilet.

"Are you sick?" Violet asked, concerned and disgusted.

"Well," Skye began, not sure how to put it, "Not exactly."

Violet cocked her head.

"What do you mean 'Not exactly'?" She asked, confused.

Skye still wasn't sure how to answer the inquisitive seven-year-old. Should she tell her that she was pregnant? Would this little girl even understand it? Would she ask how it had happened? She sure hoped not.

"I don't really feel like explaining it right now," Skye told her finally.

She was still nauseous and felt like lying down.

"How about we put the game on pause?" She asked.

Violet nodded.

"Okay."

Skye went to lie down, but before she did, she asked Violet,

"What are you going to do now?"

"Read," The little girl answered.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?"

"Yep! It's my favorite!"

They went to their separate rooms and Skye laid down. She got out her book, The Fault in our Stars and began to read it. In a little while, she got up to check on Violet. Violet was fast asleep. It was only 1:00. Skye hoped that it was just the running around that got her so tired. She hoped she wasn't sick.
