Here it is people, last chapter. Thank you for all the reviews and the support for this story ^_^v But I still encourage reviews for this chapter. Philinda, Skyeward, Fitzsimmons. And I don't any of them. :)

The night before

Ward was on his way to see May, he wanted to talk to her about what happened inside the warehouse. He was about to knock, but he heard May's voice from inside.

He entered quietly and saw that she was murmuring something in her sleep. Ward knew that she was experiencing another nightmare. He remembers their night together when they were both greatly affected by the staff. So he knew that waking her up isn't the best option, because she might freak out. So he sat on one of the chairs next to her bed and hesitatingly held her hand. She seemed to calm down a bit, and after a few minutes the nightmare stopped.

May came to her senses, she felt someone holding her hand. But it seemed familiar, so she didn't pull away immediately. When she opened her eyes, she did not expect it to be Ward. She was about to ask what he was doing there, but he spoke first. "I know, I shouldn't be here at this hour, I just wanted to talk about a few things with you. But I guess it can wait until the morning. You should go back to sleep."

"No, it's ok Ward. I won't be able to sleep for a while after that. So, talk." She was still lying down, but she was now facing him.

"I wanted to apologize. I wasn't able to protect you, back at the warehouse. I should've called for back-up sooner and maybe you didn't have to get shot."

"It wasn't your fault Ward." She held his hand again. "And it's not your job to protect me. It never has."

"I know that, doesn't stop me from trying though." He smiled down at her and she can't help but smile back at him.

They talked for another hour, but Ward saw that May already fell asleep. She looked like she was experiencing another nightmare though, so he stayed and held her hand until he too fell asleep.

That's why he had to wake-up to face a really angry Coulson at 6 am in the morning, a bit sleep-deprived and scared as hell. Ward didn't realize that he had actually fallen asleep there. It was really stupid on his part, now he has to figure out how to explain the situation to Coulson.

May stirred in her sleep, and when she realized that there were other people in her room, she unconsciously gripped Ward's hand tighter, then opened her eyes. And she was surprised to see Coulson and Fitzsimmons there. More importantly, May wondered why Coulson looked like he was going to kill someone soon.

Then it dawned on her. She probably had another nightmare and Ward tried to comfort her and they fell asleep holding hands. And Coulson, as any male would react, felt jealous. She might've laughed at the situation if she was watching from the outside, but being on the other side is different. She let go of Ward's hand and began to go to a sitting position, but she still felt a bit of pain coming from her wound.

Coulson and Ward probably noticed because they both came to her side immediately, but she just looked at them with a glare that said, 'I can do this on my own.' She eventually got to a more comfortable position, then started talking. "Fitzsimmons maybe you shouldn't be here for this."

"Alright May." They said simultaneously and looked at her, Ward and Coulson then headed out.

"Are they going to be alright Fitz?"

"Let's hope so Jemma. For everyone's sake. So you want to go get some breakfast?" He looked at Simmons playfully.

"I already brought food, remember?" She scrunched her eyebrows together when Fitz asked her.

"Let me rephrase the question. Do you want to get some food that isn't mixed with cat guts?" He joked with her casually.

Simmons glared at him but eventually gave up. "Oh, alright. But you're paying."

"Of course Simmons." He then pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

"Fitz! Not in public."

"Sorry Jemma." He pulled away but still looked at her lovingly.

"What are you doing here Coulson?"

"I came to tell you that your doctors ordered more tests before you can be released later today. And I just found Ward in here, with you. You both seemed pretty comfortable in your positions."

"Ward, will you please excuse us." She looked at Ward apologetically and he can't help but return it.

"Alright, Agent May. Sir." He gave Coulson a curt nod then exited May's room.

Ward saw Skye on her way to May's room.

"Skye, what are you doing here?"

"I came to visit May, same as Fitzsimmons." She said with a tone in her voice suggesting that it should be obvious.

"Yeah, about that. You probably shouldn't yet. I, along with Fitzsimmons got tossed out the room by May and Coulson."

"What! Why?" Skye looked at him questioningly.

"May and Coulson might be having a minor spat in there."

"Oh, okay. You want to go get some breakfast? I bought some pancakes from a diner near here. We can play 'Battleship' again and you know, maybe a few other things." Skye looked at Ward knowing fully well what she was talking about.

"Yeah, sure rookie." He smiled at Skye and gave her a quick peck on the lips, and went with her back to the bus.

When Ward was out of the room, Coulson took it as a sign that he didn't have to hide his feelings anymore, not like he was trying hard a few minutes ago. "Since when did you and Ward develop a bond Melinda?"

"Phil, what are you talking about? We just both fell asleep when we were talking last night."

"Since when did talking go with hand-holding?" He raised his voice a little now.

"It doesn't, it goes with comforting." May looked at Coulson directly, and saw that he was a bit confused at her statement. "I fell asleep when we were talking and I had nightmares. He tried to comfort me, he probably fell asleep too."

"What did you talk about last night?"

"He felt guilty about me getting shot. Ward is protective over everybody, you know that. You done, sir?" She knew that would get to him.

Coulson winced when she said the word 'sir', and he regretted his attitude towards her and Ward. "I didn't know that you still had nightmares."

"I didn't. Not until I held that stupid staff."

"I'm sorry Melinda." He was the one who held her hand now. And she didn't want to admit it, but she actually felt a bit better.

"I know you are, but are you sure you want to go on with whatever relationship we have now? Because you're getting jealous over Ward, next thing you know, you might start glaring at Fitz." She said playfully.

Now, Coulson felt better. May in a playful mood is something he always loves. "Why? You slept with Fitz too?"

Her eyes widened at his statement. And he just answered the question he knew she was going to ask eventually. "Yeah, I knew about you and Ward. After that night at the hotel, I knew something changed. That's why I got jealous, because I thought you had feelings for him."

May finally understood him. And she couldn't help but smile at him. "I don't. But you knew, and you still want to be with me?"

"Of course I do, if I did not, then the confession I did a couple of days go would have been a waste." He smiled back at her. And he was coming closer to her on the bed, and May knew exactly what he was getting at.

"I thought the doctors' said I wasn't allowed to do strenuous activities, while I haven't fully recovered yet?" She had a look of amusement in her eyes, and so did he.

"Well rules are meant to be broken, right?" Coulson was now leaning towards her and started a kiss on her forehead, her nose, then finally on her lips.

But May suddenly pulled away. "But the tests and the doctors?"

"Do you want to do this or not?" He asked her teasingly. She smiled at him and that was the only answer Coulson needed.

Ward and Skye were on their way to May's room to bring them food, since they probably haven't eaten yet and they secretly wanted to check on the two. They saw Fitzsimmons coming from the opposite direction.

"Hi Skye"

"Oh hey Jemma, what do you have there?"

"Oh, there just sandwiches I made for May." Fitz looked worried, which didn't go unnoticed by Ward.

"What's wrong Fitz?"

"I'm just nervous about those sandwiches."

"What, why?" asked Skye.

"Oh, don't worry so much Fitz." Simmons just rolled her eyes at Leo.

They all entered the room, and then they immediately closed the door and ran out. "Maybe we should leave the two alone." Said Ward. Looking at Skye and Fitzsimmons who were all red, and wore embarrassed faces.

"That would probably be for the best." Agreed Simmons.

"Yeah, we should go back to the bus." Said Skye.

"And you thought a kiss on the forehead was too much." Fitz whispered to Simmons.
