End of flashback
Well, they hadn't talked the entire time. They'd kissed a few times. May and Coulson had been going out for a few weeks, but they've been keeping it from the team. They liked having something secret all to themselves. May got up and walked toward the little girl's bedroom. She was so tired, that while she could act normally, she could not think. When May summoned memories of Lily, she accidentally pulled up memories of another little girl, who looked a lot like Lily.
No, May thought had she put her head in her hands, don't think about her now, you'll start crying and make a scene. Nobody can ever know about her. May's thoughts were interrupted by giggles. She followed the giggles and found that Lily was giggling. She must have been giggling at Fitz or Mack. She was surprised when she saw, peeking in, that it was Jemma Simmons, telling her a story.
"There once was a dragon, you see," the scientist told the little girl.
"Who was as polite as you or me.
But it was quite a lonely dragon
With no one to talk to as he sipped his flagon." Jemma paused. "What's a flagon?" Lily asked. "A flagon," Jemma said without missing a beat, "is a cup that dragons drink out of." The girl nodded and Jemma continued.
"So it was decided that he,
The politest dragon you ever did see,
Was to find a fetching bride
And take her here and bring her inside." Again, Jemma paused. May began to suspect that Jemma was doing these pauses on purpose. "What's fetching mean?" As Jemma began to explain, May quietly left and looked for Fitz.
