Warnings: none


"Mom, Dad, Uncle Leo, and Aunt Jem, I swear to have Alya home by 11 PM at the latest," Dallas had to refrain himself from rolling his eyes if he didn't want his mom chewing him out after his date. Alya chuckled silently at his side, her hand on her boyfriend's arm

"Mama, Papa, you always make Dallas say the same thing, and he's done it every single time, hasn't he?" Alya complained, outwardly rolling her eyes as she looked at the adults in front of her. "We're legal, for Christ's sake!"

"Legal or not, you need to be home by 11," her father replied in exasperation, his Scottish accent thick as ever. Leopold grumbled quietly as he pushed his slipping glasses up. "I swear, life was so much easier when the Chronicoms were about to eradicate us all, I tell you," he got up and left the room, still rambling.

Jemma smiled apologetically for her husband's outburst. She sat in a nearby chair, her graying hair pulled back in a low bun, rather than her high ponytails from before. "I am very sorry about that," she apologized. "You two go have fun," she got up from her seat and followed her husband, calling out his name.

Dallas turned to face his parents, his posture significantly more relaxed. "You guys too?" Daniel and Daisy pondered for a moment before Daniel shook his head.

"Just get her home safe, and on time, Dal," Daisy reminded him, her hands on her hips. Daisy was still as beautiful as ever, a few years younger than Alya's parents, albeit a few wrinkles were forming at her eyes. Daniel nodded in agreement, wisps of gray hair barely visible on his head.

"We'll be okay, Auntie Daisy, Uncle Daniel," Alya promised, before pulling open the front door behind her and shoving Dallas outside. "See you at 11!" The door shut behind her.

Daisy and Daniel looked at each other for a quiet moment before looking at where their son stood wistfully.

"I can't believe our lives were completely different 20 years ago," Daniel remarked, before kissing the top of Daisy's head softly. She could only nod in response as waves of nostalgia took over her, remembering her old life. Before Daniel. Before Coulson. Before she became Daisy.

Daniel broke the silence once more, sensing his wife didn't want to speak. "But they've been the best 20 years of my life."
