Melinda May's Point of View

Lily's first day at S.H.I.E.L.D

The first time Phil and me took Lily to S.H.I.E.L.D was to show her off. Phil had insisted it was totally necessary so after a lot of persuasion we were in Lola on our way to HQ. We went straight to Director Fury's office, now as much as I liked Nick I didn't expect him to love babies as much as he did. The minute we walked in he was over Lily like a rash. "Hey princess!" he smiled as he lifted her out of her pram. Lily even managed a small laugh as he whizzed her in the air. "Oh she is the cutest little thing in the world!" he said as he cradled her. "How about you just leave her here, start her training early!" he joked.

"Sorry Nick but with any luck Lily wont want to be an agent!" I told him. "But Mel she would be great!" he cried. "I agree!" Phil added. "Well I for one want her with a normal job!" I told the two men. But I knew deep down that no matter what Lily would work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

As we sat in Nick's office he had lunch brought to us as he filled us in on missions. He never put Lily down once as he talked. And I swear she was listening to every word he said as she started up at him in awe. After about an hour catching up there was a knock on the door. "Sir can I come in?" Maria Hill a teenage, junior agent asked from the door. "Sure Hill come in." he called as she joined us. "OHH IS THIS LILY?" She cried." Can I hold her?" she asked us. "Of course you can Hill." Phil replied.

However when Hill went over to take her from Nick he wasn't for giving her up, "I'm not done yet!" he protested as he bounced Lily on his knee. "Nick you will have plenty of time to hold her in years to come!" I laughed. "Give Hill a turn." I smirked. He reluctantly passed Lily to Hill. The minute he did Lily started to ball her eyes out. "See she missed uncle Nicky give her back!" he said to Hill as he held his arms out. "Sorry Nick she's hungry." Phil said taking Lily from Hill. "We better go, she will be tired after her bottle!" I told him.

"You will be back tomorrow right?" he called after us. "Maybe not tomorrow, but how about Monday?" I replied. "OK MONDAY, SEE YOU THEN LILY!" He howled after us. "Jeese he really likes our daughter!" I laughed as we walked down the corridors towards the car park. On the way we met Barton and Romanoff two very young and talented teens. "Hey Coulson how's being a daddy?" Clint asked as Natasha came over to look at Lily. "How are you?" she asked. "Good Nat, really good." I replied. "And how about little Lily?" she asked rubbing her cheeks.

"Good most of the time, but at night she is a nightmare." I told her. "Well if you want a break me and Clint are off for a few days, we could watch her?" Nat offered. "Really?" I laughed. "I thought you hated kids?" I smirked. "I do, well most of them. But Lily here is special she's the daughter of two of my best friends!" Nat replied. "Huh I didn't know we were friends!" I joked. Nat laughed as the two men joined us. "What's so funny?" Clint asked. "Well Nat just offered your babysitting services." I told him. "Cool I love babies!" he said as he made faces at Lily. "When do you want us?" he asked.

Over the past few years I had gotten to know Clint and Natasha very well. They had both been through a lot at such a young age, and Nat was even a trained assassin. So I trusted them more than anyone else to look after Lily. "How about Friday?" I suggested looking at Phil. "Yeah Friday, can you do then?" he asked. "Yeah Fridays good." The teens replied. "Ok see you then. You have the address?" I asked. "Yip we do. See you then. Bye Lily aunt Nat will be back to see you then along with uncle Clint!" I laughed and waved them off.

"This is great, we should come here more often!" I joked. "See I told you it was a good idea!" Phil laughed as we contined to walk to the car. "So what do you think of Nat and Clint?" he asked as we reached the lift. "I love them, they are great kids why?" I asked. "Well I know they are young but I was thinking they could be Lily's godparents." He told me. "Phil they are just kids, Nat's only like 13!" I laughed. "I know I know, but chances are by the time anything happens to us she will be old enough to look after Lily." He replied. "Plus Clint is 19 so he is already old enough." He told me. "I suppose your right, and they are well equipped to protect her." I said.

"So you like the idea?" he asked. "I do, but lets think on it. Decide by Friday ok?" I asked. "Sure its an important decision but I know you will agree!" he grinned. "We will see!" I smirked knowing he was right and I would agree, I just couldn't tell him that straight away!

Hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
