Here we go! Next chapter is here for you, guuuys! ;)

I hope you enjoy it! I really think you WILL :D

A thought came to Ward's mind. What if she was stubborn like usual and just didn't want to come back? Refused to fight for her life and gave up, just like she did when she was thrown (if that was what happened) into the water? Just thinking that made him so angry at her.

What about him? Did she ever stop to think how would he feel if she were gone? Did she ever think about what she meant to him? That she meant the world to him? That he loved her more than he was willing to admit and now it was too late?

Or how Simmons would feel if her best friend died? They've become the kind of best friends when they couldn't even say if they were best friends or siblings. Her death would crush Simmons.

Coulson? For god's sake, she was like a daughter to him and she must have known that! It was so obvious, the way he always made sure to take care of her as if she was his own child.

And poor Fitz! Skye was like his little sister and he even admitted once that he didn't need any monkey as long as they had Skye because she was so much better than a stupid monkey. Although he still did like monkeys of course.

And then there was May. As tough as the woman was or wanted to seem she cared so much about the youngest member of their team. Always tried to protect her the best she could, just like a mother would.

Skye had a real family on the bus, whether she knew it or not.

He got sick and tired of staring at the flat line that was an awful reminder of her trying to die on him. Enough was enough. Frustrated, he screamed:

"Come back, damn it! Can you hear me, Skye? Just come back to me, for god's sake!"

The room went silent, only the long beep of Skye's heart monitor and Jemma's soft sobbing could be heard in the room.

When Ward turned to look at the young bio-chemist, her shaking hand was pressed to her mouth as she tried to suppress the crying, failing miserably.

And then the long beeping sound suddenly changed, causing everyone in the ER to look at his Rookie whose heart suddenly started beating. It was actually beating on its own. She was finally back. It's about time, he thought.

Ward was by her side in no time, one of his hands gripping hers and the other stroking her cheek, a huge smile and relief on his face.

"God, Skye. You scared all the crap out of me" he whispered to her although she couldn't hear him.

Feeling relief washing over him and making him feel light, he leaned in and pressed a gentle lingering kiss on Skye's forehead that was still cold but not like several hours before when he brought her out of the ice cold water.

Then he noticed Simmons by her other side, a very happy and relieved expression on her face.

Then she said, her eyes still on Skye:

"I'll go tell the good news to the others. They must be worried to death. You stay with her"

As if I was going anywhere, he thought as he was stroking her hair, something that calmed him down. Not anytime soon. No, he was going to watch her day and night and make sure she was safe and sound and healthy. He wasn't trusting anyone with his Rookie's life. Well, at least no one except for certain four people.

In the next few hours she was moved to a regular ward and the others were allowed in to see her, although she was still out of it.

The relief that Ward felt was incredible. It was as if he had been suffocating and now could finally breathe again.

He watched her breathe, her chest moving up and down, and saw the color slowly return to her face. It felt incredible seeing her breathe again. Alive. His Skye was alive and he could have that second chance.

The fear that he'd experienced was too much to bear. His heart still hurt and he felt his chest tighten at the thought of what had happened and what could have. He almost lost her, the love of his life. Almost lost her after he'd only just found her.

She was going to be okay from now on. From now on he was going to protect her better, be a better S.O., a better friend, a better everything. He was going to be the man she needed even if he would have to step on his pride.

And he was going to tell her he loved her more than world itself, more than words could say, that she was the most important person in the world for him and he was sure going to show it to her. He just couldn't wait for her to wake up, see her beautiful sparkling eyes again and hear her voice telling him a stupid joke or just being sarcastic and have her annoy him to death again. He couldn't wait for her to annoy him to no end and he'd never think he would ever actually say that.

He kissed her knuckles and squeezed her hand in his, not even caring that Simmons and Coulson were in the room and could see him like that. Grant Ward was going all soft on his Rookie. Yes, his precious Rookie. He'd never regret going soft on his Skye.

All he wanted was for her to open her eyes and start talking with no end and even more than that Ward wanted to take her in his arms, hold her tight, kiss her and never let go. Wanted to feel her in his arms, warm, her heart beating fast like it should and see her smiling at him like she always did. He wanted his Skye, his Rookie, his favorite person in the whole world.

Wake up, Skye.

Sooo was it any good?
