Hi guys! I'm back!
Coulson POV
Coulson was eating lunch when his phone rang. He put his sandwich down and picked up his phone.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey, Coulson," A young female voice said on the other line. " I need to talk to you."
"Hey, Skye! How are you?"
"That's what I need to talk about."
"You're not sick or something?"
"Not exactly. Can we meet up at a coffee shop or something?"
"Sure. Which coffee shop?"
They sorted out the details and Coulson hung up. He was slightly worried. Something was definitely wrong. He decided not to tell anybody where he was going. He finished his sandwich and took Lola to the coffee shop.
"Hey, Skye," He said when he saw her.
"Hey, Coulson," She replied, not meeting his eye.
"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting down.
"I'm pregnant."
He looked at her.
"You're what?" He asked.
"Please don't be mad," She said, covering her face in her hands.
"I'm pregnant."
"Who's the father?"
Skye mumbled something.
"I didn't quite catch that."
"It's Grant, okay?" She replied. "Grant Ward."
Coulson looked at Skye in shock. Grant Ward? He was the father? How was that possible? Then it came to him. Skye had been so cheerful. They had found a lipstick in Ward's cell. He said it was Skye's, but that she had left it behind on the plane.
"I'm so sorry," Skye said, bursting into tears.
"Hey, it's okay," Coulson said, putting his arms around her.
"You're not mad?"
"I'm not mad."
Skye pulled away.
"What am I going to do?" She asked.
Coulson thought about it.
"We're not going to tell the team," He said. "If they found out they might be cruel to you. I say that you stay where you are for the duration of the pregnancy. Speaking of which, where are you living anyway?"
"About a block away. I have my own apartment."
"I didn't know you had an apartment."
"I didn't let anyone know, because I was afraid that something like this would happen and I'd have to hide."
"You shouldn't come back to the team until after you've had the baby," Coulson said.
"What am I going to do with the baby?" Skye asked. "I can't give it away. Not like May did."
"I know. You should keep the baby, but come back to Shield with Violet. I'll see to it that someone looks after the baby while you're at Shield."
"I'm not sure I could do that," Skye said. "Have someone else take care of my baby."
"Then maybe," Coulson said hesitantly.
"Maybe what?"
"Maybe you shouldn't come back."
