"You don't have to do this you know. I'm sure AC can talk that Robot guy into training me if you want." Skye said softly as she stood beside her mama in the gym. May's heart began to plummet, her baby girl didn't want to spend time with her anymore. She couldn't blame the girl considering that May all but ignored her existence for the last ten years…
"I know that being around me might end up bringing up some painful memories and I don't wanna be the reason you're hurt…" Skye says worriedly making May's thoughts freeze for a second before her brain rebooted. It was her Skye was worried about? Skye still cared about her and wanted to spend time with her…and…and she was more concerned with May's feelings than with the fact that May had neglected her for ten years now.
"Oh Nu Ying." May breathed out slipping into Mandarin easily as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. All of Skye's parents had different names for her. Coulson called her Baby Girl, Fury called her Brat, Jasper called her Kiddo, Felix called her Runt, John tended to call her either Little Hand, Hand Junior, or Half-pint, Victoria generally stuck with Squirt or Troublemaker, and May…May called her daughter. Those were just the English names they used for her.
John used Tochter, German for daughter. Victoria used the French word for daughter, Fille. Jasper used Spanish to call her Cielo which was pretty much the Spanish version of her name. Coulson called her Neonata which was Italian for Baby Girl. Fury called her Kori, the Greek word for daughter. Felix used Esperanto to call her Bebino, Baby Girl. May…May called her daughter in Mandarin, Nu Ying.
"I…I'm so sorry Nu Ying. I…I've been hurting you and Tori both by pushing you away. I thought I was keeping you safe but I…I've been neglecting you!" May said her shoulders shaking a bit as she tried to control her emotions.
"It's okay mama. It's okay. Me and mom understood. It hurt yes but we understood and we don't hold it against you at all. I love you mama and it's alright." Skye said hugging her mama back immediately as she whispered soothingly to her.
"Mom still loves you to. She's waiting for you. She always has and she'll wait as long as you need her to. You know that. You love her that's why you pushed her away. You didn't want to hurt her but its okay. She loves you too. The old you from when I was little and the new you now. She loves you. I love you. Our entire family loves you." Skye whispered into May's ears in Mandarin, switching to the language fluently out of habit by now.
"Everything will be okay mama. You'll see. It'll be fine." Skye murmured to her mama for another ten minutes before May collected herself finally, wiping all traces of tears from her face as she began going through the Tai Chi forms. Skye didn't say a word as she followed her mama's lead and went through the forms as well.
"Sir having known her as a child or not are you sure we can trust her? She is a member of the Rising Tide after all." Ward could be heard talking to Coulson as they came down the stairways near the gym.
"You're concern is noted Ward but Skye…Skye is good. Don't worry about it." Coulson said although he knew he had to keep in character that he only knew Skye when she was a child. Didn't want to blow her cover after all. Some of her connections from the Tide might still be useful after all and besides…he wanted to see the look on Wards and the Science Twins faces when they got to the HUB and Skye's cover was dropped. They were planning on their being a 'meeting' between the senior level 8 agents and Fury that Coulson had to attend in a few weeks, that way the whole family will be there to laugh at the look on the other agents faces.
After all only those level 8 or over, or old enough to remember when Skye was a child, knew who Skye was and her relation to the senior agents. Neither Ward nor the Science Twins were that level or were in Shield that long.
Coulson stopped and smiled warmly and fondly at the sight in the gym. May and Skye were going through the Tai Chi poses that May had taught Skye when she was little. Ward looked over as well and scowled for a second before putting his blank face back on, watching as May muttered something in a language he didn't know to Skye who busted out laughing.
"You two done acting like creepy perverts or what? I know AC isn't into this kind of thing but I'm not so sure if Robot's programming allowed for those kinds of thoughts or not." Skye called to the two as she and May both grabbed their water bottles for a quick sip.
"Skye I'm going to take a not from you and Tori for a moment." Coulson said smiling fondly and slightly mischievously at the two women who looked at him, Skye turning on her mental recording function. He waited until he saw Skye throwback another gulp of water and then…
"Choke on a dick." Skye's water came out her nose nearly as she busted out laughing and choking while May looked amused as she patted Skye on the back to help her breath easier. Ward just gaped in disbelief.
"I don't know Coulson. Last I checked Skye was allergic. You'd be more likely to choke than she will on that particular appendage." May said making Ward stare at her in disbelief and shock while Skye hit the floor laughing, she was so sending this to the rest of the family! Mom and Pops were going to laugh their asses off about this.
"Fuck off Mel." Coulson said making May snort while Skye began to regain control of her laughter, wiping the tears from her eyes and standing up.
"I'm definitely telling Mom and Pops about this." Skye said giggling a bit as she sent the video straight to her families emails. She wondered how many of the HUB agents would have heart attacks when Victoria busted out laughing after checking her private email address. The one only family used.
"I wonder how high the fatalities will go when she starts laughing?" Coulson wondered thinking along the same lines as Skye while May gave them unimpressed but slightly amused looks.
"She's not that bad." May said making the two look at her for a second.
"Around Family alone? No she's great! No different than when she first got me. Around others outside of the family though…" Skye trailed off earning a glare from May. That was her wife they were talking about. The same wife who she emulated just enough to make Ward's jaw hit the ground. Skye hit the ground laughing again and even Coulson began chuckling.
"Eat my dick."
