A couple of days later, Kyle rolled his eyes at Simmons as she excitedly took in her surroundings. The two of them along with Fitz, Mack, Bobbi, Lance and Elena had gone to the popular Winston-Salem tourist attraction. It was a restored Moravian village that had been founded in the fourteen hundreds and the biochemist, along with Fitz had wanted to go.

The seven of them were walking in the main chapel of Home Moravian church where an old friend of Lily's worked. Tours weren't normally allowed inside of the church but when you were the grandson of a former Senator and the nephew of a current one, allowances were made.

"I know my Aunt asked the all of you to distract me but I am sixteen, not six," the teenager looked at the six foot four mechanic with irritation. "This is ridiculous."

"Look kid, I agree with you but while Hydra wants you as a way to get back at your dad, you are stuck with bodyguards. Everybody is already angry about Skye being hurt but all hell will break loose if anything happens to you," Mack explained to the almost six foot tall teenager. "Besides they could have sent you with Captain Rogers and Black Widow."

Kyle shuddered at that implication because while it had been cool to meet the two Avengers, he knew that any anonymity would be gone at their presence.

He then saw the old piano standing along the wall and his heart stopped at the sight of it. He wouldn't be allowed to play it but he could admire the craftsman ship and the beauty of the old instrument.

"I don't think they will allow you to play that, Kyle," Elena commented as she walked up beside him. "That thing is an antique."

"I know. That is what makes it so awesome. Someone bought that piano when it was first built and sat down in front of it, anticipating what they would play first. Now it is sitting here in this church for its members and others to enjoy it."

Elena stared awestruck at Kyle before wrapping her around his and leading him over to another part of the church, the sixteen year old grinning and letting her.

"I hope Ward knows what a pleasure that boy is to be around," Simmons commented to Bobbi quietly.

"Jemma, this is the grace period. Sweet and innocent Kyle and Elena are about to give his father and her mother some grey hair because when two teenagers look at each other like that, all hell is about to break loose," Bobbi stated smiling at Lance, who was smirking as he watched the two teenagers talking to each other and ignoring everybody else.

At the same time over at the hospital, Skye has been placed in a regular room and she was quietly talking to Lily. They both looked over at Grant, who was lying on a cot sleeping with a thin blanket tossed over him.

"He hasn't left this hospital since he got here. If Kyle had of been with anybody but members of Shield, I would have sent Grant with him."

"Not a chance," Grant responded to his Aunt, his eyes still closed. "I'm not leaving this hospital until Skye is released."

He had taken it upon himself to stay with Skye at all times, knowing that his skills as a specialist would come in handy.

"Some people would say that you are being a stalker again," May commented harshly from the doorway.

"Some people need to mind their own business," Skye stated to her. She still wasn't happy with her surrogate mother. Now that she realized just how bad her own hypocrisy had been, seeing it in others pissed her off.

"Let's go get a cup of coffee, Agent May," Lily said, getting up and walking towards the other woman. She closed the door behind her, shutting both her and the other woman out in the hallway.

"You have to back off, Melinda. She loves you like a mother but her disappointment in you is doing the thinking for her. If you keep up the attitude, you will lose her and I know for a fact that is the last thing you or Skye want. She has chosen to be with Grant and even though I think it is too soon, nobody is going to change her mind. She wants to be a family with him and Kyle."

"Would she still feel that way if Ward had never found out about Kyle?"

"Yes. Her feelings for Grant have nothing to do with hers for his son. In all fairness, you can blame Hydra for this. If they hadn't tried to kidnap Kyle, the two of them would probably still be fighting their feelings for each other," Lily then grinned mischievously. "There is a silver lining to all of this."

"What does that mean?"

"Kyle is slowly but surely realizing that he doesn't have to be on his best behavior all of the time, that he won't be abandoned again. Skye has decided she wants to help raise him so just imagine how much he will drive both her and Grant crazy with some of the stuff he does to test their limits. I am picturing him and Elena giving Grant and Adele both a fit if they ever start to date."

A small smile comes over Agent May's face as she thinks about it before both women started to hysterically laugh. They were both wiping tears from their eyes as Coulson and Cal both came walking up to the women from opposite directions.

"What's going on?"

Melinda explained to the two men why she and Lily were laughing and Phil realized that Lily had a point. He knew that Skye was stubborn as hell and that she would push him away just like she was Melinda but accepting Ward back into her life grated at him.

"Coulson, the same advice I just gave Melinda goes for you too."

"He kidnapped her twice, Lily."

"And she made him pay for it both times."

"And you people call me crazy," Cal said, walking into Skye's room only to come rushing back out. "That isn't what I wanted to see when I went in to check on my daughter."

Coulson, May and Lily walked into the doorway and found Ward lying beside Skye in her bed and the two of them lost in a passionate kiss. All three of them rolled their eyes before Lily stepped into the room.

"The last thing Skye needs is one of her doctors coming in here because her heart monitor is going crazy."

Grant and Skye grinned at Lily, not the least bit embarrassed for being caught kissing. He stood up and kissed her on the lips.

"I'll be back. I have to talk to Romanoff and Captain Rogers about her plan for getting my family's money back to them."

He left the room and Skye found herself being stared at by her father and the other three adults in the room.

"He is getting help from Romanoff about getting the money out of Garrett's accounts?"

Skye nodded her head in response to Coulson's question. She grinned at the look of dread that came into his eyes.

"The two of them both had the top scores in espionage. Let's hope they don't cause an international incident."

"That is why Captain Rogers is helping them, to keep them out of trouble."

"He might be the only one who can but I have my doubts. Steve Rogers has a penchant for doing things against orders too. Going after Bucky Barnes when he was captured during the war comes to mind," Lily commented. "At least Grant will be back on the farm here in a few days when they let Skye out of the hospital."

Kyle came into Skye's room a few hours later, holding a tin in his hands before groaning at the sight of his dad and Skye once again kissing.

"Is this what I am going to see every day once Skye is released from the hospital?"

"Yes, get over it," Grant snarked back at him before smiling at the boy. "Did Simmons and Fitz drive the rest of you crazy?"

"Yes. She bounced all around the whole village; excited for everything, especially when we got to watch them prepare and bake a batch of Moravian cookies in that old fashioned oven at the Bakery. I brought something back that I thought Skye would like."

Kyle handed her the decorative tin and watched as she opened it and squealed like a little girl at the sight of chocolate and peanut butter fudge.

"You better enjoy that because once the doctor says you can, it is back to your training," Grant commented, smiling at the delight she took in eating a piece of the candy.

"I plan on it. I think the two of us and Kara need to double our efforts to make sure that Kyle can take care of himself. I also think that we need to talk to Adele about teaching Elena."

Kyle smiled at the banter between his dad and Skye and was glad that they had finally made the decision to be together. It was driving everybody else crazy. He knew that Aunt Lily, Mr. Cal and the members of Shield, especially the four his dad had betrayed, had their reasons for not wanting them to be together.

The three of them sat together, laughing and talking, unaware of the fact that Fitz was watching with anger growing in his eyes. He felt betrayed by Skye for giving Ward another chance after what he had done to him.

It was only Kyle that kept Fitz from going in there and confronting her, the boy didn't deserve to hear every horrible thing his father had done.

"Grant has already told Kyle everything, Fitz," Lily said quietly from where she was standing beside him. "You have every right to be angry at Grant. What he did to you and Agent Simmons was stupid and dangerous. In his effort to give you a chance to survive, he still hurt you in the process"

Lily touched him on the arm and an electric shock went through both Lily and Fitz that made the older woman scream as they both fell to the floor. It was one of agony that brought Grant running out of Skye's room. The sight of his aunt and Fitz lying on the ground terrified him.

"Kyle, push the button for the nurse."

Fitz sat up, holding his head as Lily laid there on the floor, not moving and pale as a sheet. Grant fought the urge to touch his former friend on the shoulder.

"Fitz, what happened?"

"She touched me on the shoulder and the next thing an electric shock went through the both of us, she was screaming and we both fell to the floor. Is she okay?"

"I don't know, Fitz," Grant stated before looking at Fitz in shock. "You aren't stuttering and your hand is better. I think I know what happened. Her power healed you but at what cost to her."

Both men watched as the doctors and nurses rushed towards Lily as the other members of the Ward family, Cal and the other members of Shield watched in horror.

"I didn't want this to happen like this, Ward. She has to be okay," Fitz whispered in fear as he threw his arms around the man that had betrayed him.

Ward hugged him back, ignoring the gasps of shock coming from the others around him. They didn't know what was going on here but it had to have been big for Fitz to hug Ward like that.
