Here's the last and final Chapter!:( Sorry it took awhile to update, I've been working on another Skye/Ward Fan Fiction. Again, sorry it's late and sorry it's not long. I hoped you'd all Enjoyed and Please Review!:-)

Since being rescued, Ward insisted that Skye get treated on the bus. At first, he wanted to go to a hospital. But after what they've been through, he figured being on the plane was the safest place for Skye.

"How is she?" he asked FitzSimmons as they exited her room.

"She took a good hard hit to the head, but I think she's going to be just fine." Simmons said with a smile.

"Is she awake?" Ward asks.

"Yes, but she needs to rest." Fitz reminded him.

"Is she lucid?"

"Not so much, but she is conscious."

"Do you mind if I...?" Ward asks, pointing to her room.

"Go ahead." Coulson said from behind.

Ward nods in gratitude. He takes a deep breath, wondering what he's doing. Why is it so important to see for himself that she's all right? He enters her room and momentarily is taken aback by what he sees. She's lying on her bed wearing lose fitting clothes, an IV tube going into her arm, and a white bandage covering the wound on her head. She looks pale and not at all like the energetic Skye he's used to.

"Gr...Grant..." she mumbles, her hazy eyes opening up and gazing right at him. "Figured that...you had...enough of me for one...day."

"I have." he admits.

"Then don't...cuff us together next...time," she says lazily.

He considers reminding her that he'd had no choice, but instead, he chooses to ask, "Do you...remember...anything?"

She felt tears running down her cheeks. "Did you mean what you said?"

"Ya, I did." He wiped her tears with his thumb. "Look, I know I'm not the...easiest...guy to be around, and this job can take a toll, but maybe...maybe we can give this a shot."

"I'd like that." She grins widely.

"Great...I'm mean...that's great. I'll let you sleep then," he tells her after a long moment, moving towards the door.

"Wait!" Skye stops him. "Can you, maybe...stay...for a while?"

He nods.

Helping her move over, Ward slides on the bed and tested his limit by putting an arm around her.

"You better be..." she says before falling asleep.

"...gentle..." he finished. "I'll do my best."
