Ok gang, had some ideas that I had to put down and work on. Here is the first of many. Just laying the ground work for more story. Thank you to all the reads and the likes. Thanks for the reviews! The only characters that I own are Clarissa and Jacob, the rest I am just borrowing for the purpose of this story.
"It has been almost two months since we saw Skye in London," Hunter rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"That and the fact that she was with Ward didn't make any of this any easier," Bobbi didn't look up from her notes that she had made on Skye.
"Bobbi, I think that we need to face the facts that Skye has gone to the dark side," Hunter took a gulp of his beer.
"No, she hasn't. I think that there is more to this than we know," Bobbi bit the tip of her pen.
"There is," Fitz made both Bobbi and Hunter jumped.
"I'm all ears," Bobbi leaned back in her seat ready to take notes.
"You are because you have to cover the horns," Hunter crossed his arms.
"Skye and Ward were becoming an item right after she was shot. Skye never knew that Ward confided in me. He told me about his feelings about Skye because he felt that he didn't know how to talk to her," Fitz looked down at his hands as he spoke.
"Sounds more like he didn't know how to connect with her," Bobbi made notes.
"She is more pop reference and he is the Special Operations. He had trouble identifying with her on somethings. Plus the fact that they looked at the world in different ways didn't really help. He was constantly having to look up her references after they would talk. He found that over time he cared more about her safety than anything. I know that they kissed once and that he couldn't get it out of his head. After that, it came out that he was Hydra and then I stopped caring what he thought. Overall, I think that he still cares for her and he wouldn't do anything to hurt her," Fitz grabbed a water out of the fridge.
"I think that he wants to prove to her that he is the man he told her that he was. Personally, I hope he proves that he does truly want her. She needs just a little bit of happiness in her life," Hunter took another gulp of his beer.
Clarissa took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Going into Skye's mind while she slept was something different than going in while she was awake. She didn't know what she was going to find. Ward really hadn't been any help the last two months in trying to help Skye not lose control. She decided that going into Skye's dreams would be beneficial when Skye began to not talk to anyone. She decided that she would help Ward without him knowing.
Skye was sleeping soundly as Clarissa sat down at the head of her bed.
"Let's see what's going on inside your noggin," Clarissa whispered.
Skye was seated in Ward's bedroom and laughing. She was looking at him the way she had right before the mission to London. With love. She took his hand and had him sit beside her on the bed.
"I have something to tell you," Skye smiled.
"Ok," Ward sat facing Skye.
"I really don't know how to tell you," Skye became nervous.
"Just tell me," Ward kissed her hand.
"Ok, well, I'm pregnant," Skye was smiling.
Ward's face turned to a look of horror and then to anger.
"Get rid of it," Ward stood up.
"What?"
"You know that we can't have a baby. I don't want to be a father Skye. You know that the baby would not be safe here. Get rid of it. Or if you chose to keep it, but I would suggest that we put the baby up for adoption. We are not keeping the baby and that is final," Ward walked out of the room.
Clarissa came out of Skye's dream and immediately knew what had to be done. She ran down the hall and burst into Ward's room.
"Get up now and don't argue with me," Clarissa growled.
"You do realize that it is two in the morning. So, you better have a good reason for this," Ward stretched.
"We have to talk. Remember how you and I talked about you helping Skye with controlling what is going on with her powers and that I was going to stay out of the way?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I went into her head tonight. I know, I know I shouldn't have done that and that's my bad, but I was getting worried because she has withdrawn from everyone. I need you to talk to her and have an open mind about what she is going to tell you. It has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D and her powers. You need to hear her out and not overreact," Clarissa sat down on his bed.
"Alright," Ward shooed Clarissa off his bed.
There was a low rumble in the air and both Clarissa and Ward looked at each other.
"Skye!" both said at the same time as they both ran for her bedroom.
Ward scooped Skye up and held her tight to him.
"Wake up. Skye, it's just a dream," Ward kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry," Skye held onto Ward like a lifeboat.
"Skye, I think you need to tell Ward what's going on. I'm going to give you two some time," Clarissa closed the door as she left.
"She was in my dream, and then she wasn't," Skye sat up.
"She told me that she went into your mind while you were sleeping because she was worried about you," Ward kept a close watch on her.
"I do have something to tell you right now. I just don't know how to you will take it and I don't want you to be angry over it," Skye stood and walked to her bathroom.
"I understand if you want to go back to Coulson's team," Ward's heart sank, as he realized that he was about to lose her again.
"I'm not going back. I don't think that I will ever go back there, but you may not want me around once I tell you," Skye looked down at her hands as she held something in them.
"Skye, you can tell me anything," Ward went to Skye.
Skye didn't look up but put the white stick with the little read out in his hands.
"I'm pregnant," Skye was afraid to look up at Ward for the fear of what his reaction was going to be.
"We're having a baby?" Ward looked down at the two pink lines and smiled.
Ward dropped the test and swooped Skye up in his arms.
"We're having a baby," Ward repeated as he kissed Skye.
"You're not mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Because I'm pregnant and we are both being hunted right now."
"We could have the whole world chasing us and none of that could make me upset. Skye, starting a family with you and having you as my wife will not make me think about the world outside right now," Ward smiled.
"Besides, you couldn't have gotten pregnant by yourself."
"That's true. So, what's next?"
"You move into my bedroom with me and we make it our room. We should turn this room into the nursery. Then we need to up all the defenses and hire more guards. I'm not going to let my pregnant fiancé walk around to possibly get taken by S.H.I.E.L.D. Who knows what would happen," Ward kissed Skye's forehead.
"Come on, we can talk about all that in the morning. Pregnant lady is tired," Skye smiled as she led Ward out of her former bedroom.
Coulson looked over mission reports and began to wonder how Hunter had graduated high school.
"Can we talk?" Bobbi knocked on the door.
"Sure," Coulson waved Bobbi to the empty chair across from his desk.
"I think that we aren't going to get Skye back," Bobbi didn't even bother to hold back on what she was thinking.
"Why do you say that?" Coulson's heart began to sink lower into his chest.
"I think she is going to stay with Ward. There was something there and then the fact that our reaction to her powers didn't help our relationship with her," Bobbi reviewed her notes.
"Plus, us putting her on the Index didn't help the whole relationship issues either," Coulson looked past Bobbi at the screen with Skye's Index entry on it.
"Coulson, Skye knew that she was going to have to go on it as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She was not exempt from it," Bobbi set her notes down.
"Yes, but Skye has been through enough without other agents needing to judge her based on the Index. She needs our support, not our ridicule," Coulson looked back at Bobbi.
"Alright, I know that this may be a private meeting about an MIA agent that can rock anyone's world, but I thought that you should see this," Hunter grabbed the tablet that controlled the screen on Coulson's wall.
"How am I looking at Hydra's memos?" Coulson sat up.
"Remember that nice little Trojan horse that Skye put on their computer? Well, she never really turned it off, so it still sends us info," Hunter shrugged.
"Hunter, what the Director is trying to say is get to the point already," Bobbi huffed.
"Fine, here it is. Why is security being increased all over the base that Hydra is at? Still haven't figured out which one that is currently. More importantly, why is Ward ordering extra guards to be with Skye at all times? If he truly loves her, then why is he treating her like a prisoner?" Hunter cocked his eyes in Coulson's direction.
"He's protecting her," Bobbi thought out loud.
"Hey beautiful," Jacob startled Clarissa.
"You can't just pop in here anytime you want Jacob," Clarissa glared.
"And miss a chance to talk to my favorite girl?"
"That ended when I left Afterlife Jacob," Clarissa turned her back on him and resumed putting on her makeup.
"You abandoned us Clarissa. I waited for my father to find you and bring you back, but you never came. Why didn't you come back?" Jacob turned Clarissa around.
"Because I saw the true Jiaying and let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. Plus your father made it very clear that I was no longer welcome in Afterlife when I started questioning things," Clarissa crossed her arms to put some distance between her and Jacob.
"Well, I think that you and Skye need to come back to Afterlife. You don't belong here with them. They won't understand how to help Skye while she is pregnant," Jacob sat down on Clarissa's bed.
"Get off my bed. The medical staff and I can help Skye while she is pregnant," Clarissa snorted.
"You never used to complain when I was in your bed Clarissa. Besides, Afterlife is the same but minus Jiaying. Raina said that Skye would lead our people. It's time that Skye fulfill her destiny," Jacob wiggled his fingers goodbye and disappeared.
Clarissa exhaled slowly. This was going to be something that would have to be discussed with Ward.
So what does everyone think of the story so far. Let me know your thoughts please.
