Grant took a little time to compose himself before he cleaned up his desk and left his office, heading over to Incredible Edibles. The Emerald Studios compound is essentially a small town. They had recording studios, business offices, dance studios, even a small square where there was a slew of shops, including Incredible Edibles, the compound's little Italian café.

When Grant got over to where the shop, he could Skye and JJ were still sitting at one of the café tables out front, just enjoying being together. He could see JJ occasionally look down and write something in her question book. When Grant told JJ that she and her mother would be reunited one day, she kept every question she had for her mother in this Hello Kitty notebook that he got her at the local dollar store. To many people it wouldn't mean much, but he could see the happy look on Skye's face as she answered her daughter's questions and that made him happy too.

Grant walked over to the table where his two girls were and sat down in an extra chair. "How's it going?"

JJ tore her gaze away from her notebook, looking at her father with an excited look on her face. "It's going amazing. Turns out mom loves Disney too." JJ's expression became serious. "But we have to work on her opinion of Beyoncé."

Grant smirked over at Skye. "You disrespected the queen, didn't you?"

Skye chuckled as she help up her hands in surrender. "Apparently."

JJ looked over at her mother. "Beyoncé is queen of music and life and there is no question about it."

Skye looked over at Grant with a "Really?" look plastered on her face. Grant mouthed "Just go with it." Skye chuckled at him.

Grant stood up from the table. "Okay munchkin, time to go home."

JJ's lip poked out and fake tears filled her eyes. "Do we have to?"

Her father mock glared at her. "Yes, we do."

JJ accepted defeat before looking at Skye and back to Grant. "Well, can mom come over for dinner?"

"If she wants to come, I don't see a reason why she can't."

JJ put on her puppy dog eyes. "Mommy…"

Skye laughed at her daughter's antics. She reminded her so much of her younger self. "Ya, I'll come over for dinner.

JJ jumped out of her seat and raised her hands to the sky. "YES! I'll go get my stuff." She then quickly picked up her notebook and ran towards her dad's office.

Skye laughed as she turned back towards Grant. "I absolutely love her."

"I knew you would."

"So where is home exactly?" Skye questioned as they stood up from the table. "I assume you guys aren't living in the apartment anymore."

"Oh no." Grant confirmed as they started to walk to the parking lot. "A tiny apartment could not hold all of JJ's energy. We needed somewhere big."

"How big?"

"This big." Grant answered as he opened Skye's car door for her.

Skye stood there gob smacked. "Whoa."

The Johnson house was indeed 'Whoa' worthy. Unlike the tiny apartment Skye lived in currently, this place seemed as if it could house over 100 people.

"How can you afford this?" Skye questioned as she closed the door to Lola, which Coulson gave her for her 30th birthday.

Grant smirked. "Well, when you're charged with protecting some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry you get paid very well for keeping your sanity."

Skye giggled as JJ got out of her dad's car. "Hey, some of those big names are my friends."

Grant clamps a hand on his daughter and understandingly smiles at her. "I know sweetie. I pray that you get better judgment."

JJ's mouth dropped open as her father walked along the path to the house. "Hey! I have great judgment!"

Grant turned to them and he unlocked the front door with his handprint. "Oh really?" He scoffed with appropriate eyes. "You wanna tell your mom about the cookie jar incident or should I?"

JJ gave him a 'That's the game you wanna play?' look as she put her hands on her hips. "You wanna tell mom about the period incident or should I?"

Skye's eyes widened in shock and she burst out laughing. "No wait! I wanna hear about the period incident! That has got to be good."

Grant quickly stepped into the house and yelled out "Nope."

JJ rolls her eyes at her father's behavior before looking at her mother. "Men." She then walks into the mansion.

Skye snickers before following in suit. Once in the mansion, she was immediately by a big ball of fur, which almost knocked her down. "Whoa." She looked down to see a German Shepherd growling at her.

"Allie!" Grant scolded. "Bad girl." Grant stood in the line of sight of the dog. "Sit."

'Allie' immediately listened. Grant got down to the dog's height and turned her head turned to face him. "Now, this is a friend, not a foe. Her name is Skye and she's very nice…most of the time." He let go of the dog's face. "Now, go apologize to her."

The dog went up to Skye and started to lick her hands. Skye bent down to the dog's height And Allie started to lick her face. "Aw, it's okay girl." Skye squealed and she petted the dog. She looked to Grant. "What happened to Maddie?"

Grant sadly smiled. "She passed."

Skye instantly frowned. "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Grant started to pet Allie. "Allie is her daughter so we still have a piece of her here. Isn't that right, girl?"

Allie barked happily and then left the two to themselves. "So do I get the grand tour?" Skye smiled at her lover.

Grant held out his hand towards the staircase. "Of course." As they made their way through the mansion, Skye noted that this place was very much made with JJ and his job in mind. In the basement of the house, there was a little dance studio for JJ. JJ told her mother that she was very serious about her dance classes so it would make sense that Grant would have a place for her to properly practice in the mansion right next to a gym for him.

On the main floor was mainly a space for entertaining guests. There were multiple living rooms with couches and seats, combined they could seat around 50 people. The dining room was currently set for show with china dishes and shiny glassware, it look like it came right out of the Victorian era. But the game room and theater next door brought you back into the present with its 75-inch screen and glass case for full of game consoles, wide array of movie chips(the future DVD) and large snack bar. The kitchen was a sight for sore eyes as well with the high tech equipment it housed, which Grant was very proud of, and a table nestled into a bay window area.

When they got up they got up to the third floor, it was obviously that this was mainly the space for privacy. On the left side of the floor, there was a slew of guestrooms where Grant explains that JJ's best friends usually stay in right next to her room, where JJ was currently web chatting her friends.

"And this is my room." Grant finished as he opened the door for Skye.

As Skye stepped into the room, she immediately noticed how empty the room seemed. There were the essentials, bed, dresser, closet etc. But there weren't many personal touches besides a few pictures here and there of him and JJ. "Nice." Skye looked at his bed and a tiny sting of jealous hit her. "Has anyone else been in here?"

Grant chuckled as he walked over to her, grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him. "No, unless you want to count JJ running in here when she had nightmares?" Skye chuckled before she saw a similar look in his eyes. "How about you?"

Skye shook her head. "No. I've had an offer but I couldn't accept it."

His jaw set. "Why not?"

Skye looked into his eyes. "Because he wasn't you."

Grant smiled at her before leaning his head down and pressing his lips against hers. She quickly responded applying the same amount of pressure to his lips as she brought her arms up to wrap around this neck. But before they could go any further, they heard a pounding at the bedroom door.

"Um before you two get it on, can I get some food please?" JJ cheekily asked.

The couple broke apart before Grant shouted back "We'll be out in a minute."

"I'll be waiting!" JJ sang.

Skye chuckled. "She is so me."

"I know and that frightens me."

"Dad finally had to ask Mrs. M if she would go get me some pads." JJ chuckled.

Grant sunk further into his chair and Skye continued laughing through the story. "That's hilarious." Skye noticed Grant's position. She moved her hand to cover his hand. "Don't worry, no guys gets it right the first time."

Grant smiled at her as he moved to interlock their fingers. This action not only made her smile, but JJ as well. To see her father so happy made her happy because he spent so much time focusing on her, he usually didn't leave time for himself. "So mom, are you going to stay over tonight?"

Skye smiled sadly. "Sorry sweetie." She apologized as she brushed her fingers through her daughter's curly black hair. "But, I have some things I have to take care of."

JJ instantly frowned. "Oh."

Skye tilted her head up. "Hey, don't worry I'll be back soon okay."

JJ smiled once again. "Okay." She then went over to hug her mother. "I love you mom."

Skye almost shed a tear at that. "I love you too."

"Okay munchkin." Grant interrupted. "Chores done before 10."

"Kay dad." JJ started to clear the table and take the dishes to the sink.

Skye had started to gather her things by the front door when Grant brought her a small box. "What's this?" She asked.

"It's a few things that I've collected of JJ's earlier years. I knew you would come back one day so I wanted to have these for you."

Skye took the box. "Thanks. I'll look at it tonight. I expect to hear more about it tomorrow."

"So you are coming back?"

Skye smiles as she pulls his lips down to hers and they share a short, chaste kiss. "You can trust me on that." And with that, she goes out to her car and drives back to New Providence.

Grant smiles as she drives away and JJ notices the silly look on his face. "You are so whipped, old man."

"Get back to your chores, Jennifer."

As Skye finds her way back to her apartment in the SHIELD complex, she is very surprised to see the entire team sitting in her living room. "What are you guys doing here?" Skye asked as she closed the door and walked towards the kitchen.

"You know exactly what were doing here." May sneered at her former trainee as she and the rest of the team stood and walked around to her. "How could you do this Skye?"

"He's a criminal."

"A murder."

"He's the enemy."

Skye slammed the box down on her kitchen counter and whips around to face the team. "You don't think I knew that when I crawled into bed with him 16 years ago!" The team stood silent. "Both of us were really low and even though we both tried to deny it, we still loved each other." Skye took a cleansing breath, trying to ignore the devastated look on Lincoln's face. "JJ wasn't supposed to happen but she did. But that doesn't mean Grant and I love her any less."

May scoffed. "Oh please. So you leave her with the HYDRA maniac? If you really loved her, you would have raised her by yourself! You're claiming to be a good mother but you're the worst one I've seen by far!"

Everybody in the room knew that was way too far when they saw the look on Skye's face turn to pure hatred, one they had only seen when Grant first betrayed them. Skye menacingly pointed towards the door. "Get out."

"Skye, I…"

"No! You don't get to say anything!" The room started to shake as Skye's anger grew stronger. "You guys don't get a say! Not in my life! Not in my relationship with Grant! And definitely not with my daughter! NOW GET THE HELL OUT!"

Not wanting to anger her anymore, the team ran out of her apartment and as soon as the last one stepped out, Skye flung out her hand and slammed the door with her powers.

Skye went over to lean on the kitchen counter and ran her hands over her face in frustration. She turned to look at the box Grant gave her and pulled it towards herself. She opened and was immediately bombarded by pics of JJ. Pictures of her at her first birthday with cake all over her face. Pictures in her various dance costumes throughout the years. Pictures of her and her friends. And of course multiple pictures of her and Grant. She looked so happy and that's all she ever wanted.

Skye looked further into the box and found some knick-knacks. JJ's first ballet shoes. A worn out teddy bear. But at the very bottom was a movie chip. She took out the chip and plugged it into her phone. It opened a holo-screen with an array of titles ranging from "First Recital" to "JJ in the Studio". Skye picked one that was titled "JJ and Allie".

In the video, a six-year old JJ was surrounded by a pile of German Shepherd puppies, laughing as all of them tried to lick her. JJ would occasionally talk to Grant who was taping about how cute the puppies were.

"Daddy, I love them!"

"I know, munchkin… That's why you get to keep one."

Little JJ flashed a grin to the camera. "Weally, daddy?"

"Absolutely. Go on pick one out."

JJ pondered for a bit before she picked up the tiniest one in the group. "I like dis one. She's wittle like me."

"She sure is. What are you going to name her?"

JJ put a finger to her mouth. "How about Allie? Allie the Puppy!"

"Allie the Puppy. I like it. Okay Jenny, say hi to mommy."

JJ enthusiastically waved to the camera. "HI MOMMY!"

Skye cried at the last little clip before the screen went dark. The team could say whatever they wanted about her decision. She knew in that moment that she made the right one.
