Thank you to Emtheunicorn for looking this over for me and helping me out whenever I got stuck on certain parts :)

Title: Meeting the Shannons

Ship: Lucas/Skye, Lucket

Genre: Family, Humour

Summary: Hailey's meeting the Shannons...and Josh for the first time. Lucas isn't happy about it, and maybe Hailey isn't either.

Prompt from: Emily :D


"No."

Skye pulled on her shirt, glaring at Lucas as she smoothed it out.

"Yes," she said.

Lucas simply shook his head as he handed Hailey her stuffed animal that her grandfather had given her when she was born. The infant lay on the bed next to him, absent mindedly chewing on her pink teddy bear's ear as she watched her parents argue. Her father reached down to lightly brush her short blonde hair. Obviously, she had no clue as to what they were discussing, but she loved to watch them all the same.

"Lucas, she's three months old and the only people she's actually gotten to meet are your father, Wash, doctors - who don't count by the way, Tasha and Maddy."

"Reynolds met her," he reminded her.

"For Christ's sake, you wouldn't even let him hold her!" she laughed, "So that doesn't count either really."

"Bucket, she's too young still. She could get sick or something. Babies' immune systems aren't fully developed until they're about six months old," he pointed out, hoping to "impress" her with his knowledge.

"She's old enough to meet a few people and not get sick, I think. They're all perfectly healthy, so I don't think they'll give her anything. Besides, it's not like we're taking her to some, I don't know, unsanitary place. The Shannons are coming here."

Lucas frowned.

"We can't keep her cooped up in here forever… And it would e good for her to get to know Maddy, Mark, Kara, and Josh. I'm sure Hailey will see them a lot growing up, so she might as well meet them now. Melody is a little older than Hailey and -"

"Why would she see Josh a lot?" he muttered, cutting her off; looking away from Hailey and up at Skye.

"Because Kara is having -" Skye paused, "Wait. Is that what his is about? You don't want Josh to meet her?"

He hesitated as his wife folded her arms over her chest. "I don't like that kid…"

Skye couldn't help but laugh at his words. He sounded like a jealous child. Seeing her mother laughing, Hailey giggled softly. Lucas scowled.

"It's not funny. I don't trust him, Bucket."

"Lucas, first of all, he's hardly a kid - we're both twenty. And second, he's married. I highly doubt he'd try anything. Third, he's like a brother to me. C'mon. Hailey needs to socialize," Skye joked, picking up the baby and swinging her through the air.

"Isn't that right, Hail? Tell Daddy that you want to make some friends!"

She held their daughter towards him, hands gripping her under her armpits. Hailey squirmed happily, reaching to play with her father's face, grabbing his lower lip as she burst into a fit of adorable, baby giggles.

Lucas did his best to smile as he took Hailey in his arms - she still hadn't relinquished her hold on his lip.

"Fine," he groaned.

Skye smiled triumphantly, happy to know she had won.

"But, he can't hold her…or touch her. He can only look," Lucas decided, grinning widely at her incredulous expression.

"Lucas, that's ridiculous!"

"I'm already letting him come over, Skye," he whined. "That's going to be annoying as it is. But having him hold my daughter too?"

Lucas held Hailey closely, her cheek squished against his as they both stared up at Skye. She laughed a little, her husband and daughter's matching eyes were wide and the both made a similar pouting face.

She shook her head in amusement. "Whatever. Just don't be mean to him, okay? He's still my friend."

He nodded.

"And -" Skye looked him up and down. He was wearing an old t-shirt and boxers. His hair was a mess and he definitely needed to shave. "- get cleaned up and put some clothes on."

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing right now?" he asked innocently, smirking.

"Shut up," she laughed, walking out of the room and into the kitchen. Lucas followed her, holding Hailey in his right arm and her teddy bear in his left hand. "Also, I have to run over to the infirmary for a little while, so you need to get Hailey ready too," she told him as she pulled on her sandals.

"Yes, ma'am." He picked up one of the baby's tiny hands, making her do a little, mock salute.

"Cute." Skye rolled her eyes, giving them both a quick kiss before heading to the kitchen to grab her work things on the counter.

"Wave bye-bye to Momma," he laughed, now making her wave.

"Bye-bye, Hailey," Skye smiled, picking up her bag.

"Okay, Angel. Time to go get ready to meet the Shannons and the Shannon boy."

Hailey scrunched up her nose like she had smelt something bad. She looked up at her father, grinning widely when he nodded in approval.

"Good girl," he laughed as they headed to her room, "Don't worry, we'll come up with a plan to get rid of him."

"Hey!" Skye called after him, laughing as she headed out the door, "No teaching my daughter how to make evil plans!"


"Hey, I'm home!" Skye called as she entered the house a couple hours later. "Lucas?"

As she placed her stuff on the counter, she noticed Hailey laying down in her playpen in the middle of the living room.

"Hey, baby girl," Skye cooed as she walked over and picked up the smiling child. Hailey wore a tiny pink dress with cute little, purple Brachiosaurus on the front - courtesy of Zoe Shannon.

"You look cute, don't you?" she laughed, bouncing the baby on her hip. "Since when does Daddy know how to dress you without making you look like a rainbow?"

"I know how to dress a baby properly…" Lucas's defensive voice came from their room.

"Mhm."

Skye grinned as Hailey's attention became focused on her small fistful of her mom's hair that she appeared to be examining with great interest.

"Besides," Lucas said, walking out as he buttoned his shirt, "I think she makes a cute rainbow."

"Aw, look at you," she joked, "All cleaned up."

He rolled his eyes and walked over to them, wrapping his arms around Skye's waist. He leaned forward, careful not to squash Hailey, and gave her a light kiss.

"Are you sure you want them to come over?" he whispered, leaning back minutely.

"Yes," she replied sweetly. "They're going to be here soon."

He kissed her again.

"You could always call them and reschedule. Maybe for a time when Young Shannon is busy."

"Could you please not be so mean to him? It's just a little get-together. And, I took the liberty of inviting your dad as well. It'll only be a couple of hours, Lucas. No big deal."

He dropped his head back in defeat. They were coming over and there was obviously nothing he could do about it.

About an hour later, the kitchen table was set with an assortment of small dishes with different appetizer-like foods. Hailey sat in her highchair, repeatedly tossing her stuffed bear on the floor as Lucas sat in front of her, picking it up, brushing it off and handing it back. The infant chucked it on the floor, looked up and gave her father a look that simply said, "Get it now." Lucas grabbed the toy, but instead of returning it, he placed it on the table beside him. Suddenly the door bell rang, just as Hailey's eyes began to water as she stared at her teddy bear, her lip quivered. Lucas's eyes widened.

"Sh-," he stopped himself from continuing the word. "Don't cry, please don't cry."

As soon as he gave her back the stuffed animal, she grinned triumphantly and tossed it on the floor again. Lucas rolled his eyes and repeated his task once again.

Skye laughed as she headed for the door. She opened it and was instantly greeted by a very happy Maddy Shannon. Beside her was Mark, carrying their one-year-old daughter, Melody. Behind them, Skye could see Jim, Elisabeth, Josh with his arm around Kara's waist, and Commander Taylor.

"Hey, everyone! Uh, come on in," she said, waving for them to enter.

They followed her inside, most of them instantly noticing the small child sitting in the highchair playing "fetch" with Lucas.

"Aw, look who's whipped," Josh joked as he walked closer, grinning foolishly. Kara lightly whacked him on the arm

Lucas frowned, opening his mouth to snap at the obnoxious Shannon boy.

"Hey," Skye interrupted, "Be nice."

Josh snickered. "Whipped," he mouthed, earning a death glare from Lucas as he picked up the teddy bear and returned it once again.


Mark, Maddy, Kara, and Josh stood in the kitchen with Lucas and Skye while the other adults, plus Zoe, sat in the living room. Hailey and Maddy's daughter, Melody, both sat on the edge of the counter next to each other, their mothers holding them up since neither could sit on their own quite yet. The two mothers talked to Kara, giving her advice - she was due in the next couple weeks - while Josh stood awkwardly by her side. Lucas and Mark stood on the other side of the counter, stage-whispering "rules" like, "Our daughters are not allowed to date until they're twenty-one," only to have their wives scoff.

When Skye noticed Hailey staring at Josh, she picked her up and brought her over to him.

"Do you want Uncle Josh to hold you?" Skye asked Hailey, noting how Lucas scowled at the Shannon boy's new title. Hailey looked at Josh, Maddy up at her mother, back at Josh, then turned away, clearly uninterested.

"Here you go," Skye said, slowly handing the infant to her friend, "Go to Uncle Josh."

"Bucket…" There was a slight warning tone to his voice,

"Lucas," Skye said back, mimicking his tone and ignoring their earlier deal about who was not allowed to hold their daughter.

It seemed as if everyone in the room was watching quietly as if it were some amazing moment - which it sort of was considering Lucas and Josh's not so nice past . But as soon as Hailey seemed to realize what was happening, the room was filled with loud shrieks.

Hailey began screaming and crying. She was kicking her little legs and squirming so violently that Skye had a hard time keeping her grip on her. Hailey clung to her mother's shirt in a death hold with no intention of letting go. Lucas swore that her crying was louder than it had ever been when she woke them up in the middle of the night. She sounds like someone's trying to kill her, he thought. Sure, the sight of his kid crying wasn't ideal, but the look on Josh Shannon's face…priceless.

Finally he stepped forward. Skye willingly handed her to him. The longest it had ever taken for Lucas to get Hailey to stop crying had been about five minutes; Skye swore he was like the "Baby Whisperer" or something. Hailey let go of her mom's shirt, and as soon as she was in her father's arms she had two handfuls of his shirt her fists, just in case he tried to hand her to "Uncle Josh" as well.

"Well, I think Hailey has voiced her opinion on the matter," Lucas chuckled.

Skye rolled her eyes for possibly the hundredth time that day.

"I told you she wouldn't like him," he muttered smirking when Josh glared at him. Behind him, the rest of the Shannons - especially Jim, Maddy, and Kara - and Taylor were trying their best to keep their laughter contained. This seemed to make Josh blush more, which definitely pleased Lucas.

"Don't listen to him, Josh. I think she's just tired," she lied.

"It's fine," Josh mumbled, obviously embarrassed.

"I think it might be Hailey's bedtime," Skye said to Lucas, seeing how exhausted she seemed after her little episode.

"Yeah, I think she's tired. So maybe you should go," Lucas joked dryly, staring straight at Josh as he passed him. Maddy scoffed, enjoying seeing Lucas messing with her brother.

"Lucas."

"Yeah, Bucket?"

"Shut up," she stated sweetly, doing her best to not look like she was also finding the situation humorous, but she was failing miserably at hiding her growing smirk.

After everyone had left, and Skye had cleaned up the kitchen a little, she finally headed for their bedroom. She stepped into the dimly lit room and found a smile forming on her lips. She leaned against the door frame, quietly enjoying the scene before her. Lucas lay on his back on the bed, and sprawled over his chest, was a fast-asleep Hailey. Skye quickly slipped into her pajamas before making joining her husband and daughter. She curled up beside Lucas, desperately wishing they could all stay in this perfect, peaceful little moment. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek before resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.

"Do you kiss all of your brothers, Bucket?" Lucas murmured, a small laugh lacing his words.

Skye scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I never kissed Hunter," she replied, biting her lip to avoid laughing again.

"Yeah, well if Mr. Boyce had his way, that wouldn't be true…" He paused. "Wait, you kissed Josh?"

"Yeah," she admitted, laughing quietly. "It was forever ago, and one of the most stupid things I've ever done."

She heard Lucas huff in annoyance.

"Why?" she joked, looking up at him, "Are you jealous?"

His eyes widened and he frowned. "Of the Shannon boy? No."

"Uh huh. Sure."

"No. Josh is jealous of me," he told her.

"Josh is not jealous of you. What is it with you and getting crazy ideas like that? Either you have a big imagination or a big ego," she teased.

"Of course Josh is jealous of me. Who isn't?" Skye arched her eyebrows. "I have a beautiful wife and a gorgeous daughter. Everyone should be jealous of me."

Skye nodded in approval, closing her eyes again. "Nice save."

Lucas smiled at her, wrapping one arm around Hailey, and the other around Skye, pulling her closer. It hadn't been a "save" though. He had been completely serious. He really did have the most beautiful wife and daughter anyone could ever ask for. People would be crazy to not want everything he had; his perfect family.
