OMG guys! Updating in less than a week this is new for me!

Hopefully I can do this more often but I'm not making any promises.

WARNING: This chapter is a lot shorter but I promise you will love it anyway.

To Mike Uzumaki-Heartfilla – I'm glad you loved the chapter! I definitely will watch out for a MCU fic from you.

To bhut – They aren't really JJ's friends as of yet. Just a meeting so far. But don't worry there will be more of them in the future. And we'll see about her and Coulson.

Thank you to the 25 members who favorite this story and to the 37 who followed it!

ENJOY!


"Are you sure that you wanna go through the transition?" Skye asked her last student of the day.

The teen nodded. "I want to know."

Skye tightly grinned. "Well, I want to have a few more sessions with you before I sign your papers."

The student nodded again as they stood. "Okay. I'll see you later Ms. Johnson."

"Bye." Skye started to save her tablet notes as the student left. She had just put the tablet in her file shelf when Jemma and Bobbi burst into the room.

"You can't seriously be leaving." Jemma shrieked.

Skye rolled her eyes as she gathered her things. "Hello to you too."

"Skye, this is serious. You're resigning from SHIELD. I mean, the year just started what about your stu…" Bobbi started.

Skye interrupted. "I'm resigning at the end of the year, after my students graduate. But after that, I'm leaving to be with my family."

"Skye," Jemma pleaded. "this is insane. How can you leave us? What about your nieces and nephews?"

"That's exactly the point." Her friends could see the tears building in her eyes. "I watched you guys get married to the loves of lives. I watched you have your kids and raise them in a loving family. I watched your happiness come about when mine was truly only a few miles away. I want that chance at what you guys have and the only way I'm gonna get it is if I'm away from SHIELD."

"What about Lincoln?" Bobbi questioned. "I mean, the guy is crazy about you…"

"But I don't love him." Skye picked up her bag and started to walk out of the door. "It wouldn't fair to drag him along when I know I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"But you can imagine the rest of your life with Ward?" Jemma asked.

Skye paused in the doorway not bothering to turn back around. "Yes." And with that she left.


When Skye finally got home, she felt emotionally drained from the day. She took off her shoes, dumped her keys and went into the living room, where she plopped onto the couch. She rubbed her hands over her face in frustration. Her friends couldn't understand what she was going through. Their family was important to them. So why shouldn't hers be important to her?

She was so involved in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Allie coming into the room until she jumped onto the couch and laid her head down in Skye's lap.

Skye laughed. "Hi girl. How've you been?" She started rubbing the dog's head when she noticed something next to her leg. Allie must've brought into the room.

Skye picked it up off the couch and saw that it was a small jewelry box.

Just then, Grant walked into the room. "He…" He stopped when he saw what she had in her hand. "Where did you get that?"

"Allie brought it in here." She answered as the dog jumped onto the floor and lied down. "What is it?"

"No no n-"

But before he can stop her, she opened up the box and inside… was a diamond ring. It was like a tiny star that was brought down from the sky, embedded in a silver ring with curvy engraving down the sides. It was the most beautiful thing that Skye had ever seen… But why did Grant have one? "Grant, why do you have a ring?"

"Well, it's actually a funny story." He started as he reached behind to scratch the back of his neck.

Skye took that sentence the wrong way and quickly stood up in anger. "Is there someone else?"

Grant was taken aback. "What?"

"Is this ring for someone else? Have you just been stringing me along to…"

He quickly interrupted her. "No, you've got it all wrong. That ring is for you."

Skye face contorted in confusion. "What? But we've only been back together sorta for a week. We basically spend all day together when would you have time…"

"Skye, I've had that ring for almost 10 years."

She sat down with shock on her face. "You have?"

He nodded. "When I told JJ about you when she was 6, she wanted to know if her parents were gonna get married." He chuckled. "She convinced me to go get a ring for you, so I would be ready for when you came back."

Skye smiled down at the box. "I can't believe you've kept it for all these years."

Grant knelt down in front of her. "Skye, I would wait an eternity to be with you."

Skye started to cry and Grant cupped her face to wipe away the tears. "You are the only woman I've ever be in love with and the only one I want to be with. You're so beautiful, smart and happy. You light up a room when you walk in." Grant took a deep breath.

This is definitely not how he imagined doing this. He thought they would be taking a sunset stroll down the beach. He had a monologue, but he realized that Skye would be happy either way. "I don't know why you would be crazy enough to say yes but Skye." He took the ring out of the box and held it in front of her. "Would you marry me?"

Skye started hysterically sobbing burying her face in her hands before throwing her arms around him and started kissing him. She kept pecking his lips and he gladly returned the notion. "So is that a yes?"

Skye nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely." Grant put the ring on her ring finger and kisses her hand, caressing it as he looked down at her lovingly. "And the reason I'm crazy enough to say yes is because I love you too." Grant smiled and Skye could see a hint of tears in his eyes and he leaned back down to kiss her once again. His hands moved in separate directions. One moving down to the curve of her back, pulling her closer. The other moving into her hair, combing through her long brown curly locks.

"How are we gonna tell JJ?" Skye asked through the kiss.

"She already knows." Grant answered.

Skye pulled back from the kiss with a confused look on her face. "Really?"

"She always does," He turned to the doorway and called out, "isn't that right munchkin?"

"YES!" JJ ran into the living room and threw her small arms around both of her parents, tightly hugging them. "This is the best day ever!" The two laughed put one of their arms around JJ to hug her as well.

JJ could not be happier at the moment. Her parents after all these years were finally going to get their happy ending. She looked up at her father with a smug look on her face. "But it took you long enough old man."

Skye looked at her now fiancé with a smug look on her face as well. "Yah, how long were you gonna wait? I mean, if Allie didn't…"

Just then, a thought came into both Grant and Skye's mind. Both looked down at JJ.

The teen feigned an innocent look. "What?"

Grant took her arms from around his girls and crossed them over his chest. He looked down at his daughter with a stern face. "Did you take that out of my drawer and tell Allie to bring it to Skye?"

JJ swayed side to side, looking away from her parents, before turning back to them with a mischievous look on her face. "Maybe…maybe not. All that matters is that you guys are getting married. WAHOO!" JJ started jumping around the room, flailing her arms in excitement. "They getting married! They getting married! Mehm Mehmmm"

Grant kept looking at his dancing daughter. "Our daughter set up our proposal."

"Who cares?" Skye scoffed as she pulled his shirt, guiding his lips back to hers.

JJ stopped dancing when she noticed it out of the corner of her eyes. "Parents if you want to do it, go to your room!"

They broke apart laughing as Grant pulled Skye into a hug. He looked at JJ. "Or we can celebrate by watching the next season of Grey's and eating some Beef and Wonton Soup."

"Sold!" JJ cheered.

"Okay, go get the ingredients out of kitchen."

"BEST DAY EVER!" JJ ran to the kitchen with Allie right on her heels.

"She reminds me so much of my dad." Skye smiled.

"Well, she is crazy."

"Hey," Skye lightly slapped his chest. "be nice. He's gonna be your father-in-law."

"Well, let's just hope that he's not gonna kill me for not asking for permission."

"He won't." Skye laughed as she went to help JJ. "Maybe."

Grant chuckled before he processed what Skye said. He looked in the direction she went. "What do you mean 'maybe'?" He called out as he ran after her.


AH! They're engaged! Who else is excited! Because I know I am!

NOTE: By the way, if you guys didn't notice. The spot for one of Skye's students is wide open. So, if you want it, just message me about it! And if you just want an OC in general, just message me, I have a lot to give out if you want it

My recommendation for this chapter is the TV show "BONES". I am literally obsessed with the series I've seen the first 10 seasons on Netflix and I'm up to par with season 11. It's a crime drama and it is amazing! If you may check it out or you're already a "squint" like me, leave the word "BONES" in a review!

Until next time, don't forget to follow, favorite and review!

Thank you!
