The next few weeks were hectic. But that's just how this team worked. Simmons got infected with an alien virus and almost died. Fitz and Ward were blindly sent into a suicide mission but saved by the rest of the team. And the week after that Ward touched an Asgardian staff that brought back some really horrible memories.

This experience made Ward pretty agitated so the team had been given the night off in Dublin, so he went to the bar for a drink. Skye had the same idea.

"Hey," Skye said as she walked up to Ward sitting alone at the bar. "I could get used to turn down service and little mints on my pillow."

"Over nights aren't standard." Ward said jokingly while taking a swig of his drink.

"We deserve a nice night. You especially. How you feeling?"

"Not great. I'm sorry. For before I'm.. I'm not that guy."

"You're a guy who saves lives I can overlook a little Hulk rage. No harm no foul."

"Does everything just roll of your back?"

"No, if it helped I'd rage all the time. But it doesn't."

"Skye, what I saw... it was about my brother."

"I figured." she leaned forward and grabbed his hand, "I know your not one to talk but, like I said I'm here. My shoulder's free."

"Thank you Skye. But maybe some other time. I think I'm gonna go take a walk, see the city."

"Ok well, you know where I live."

Ward went on his walk. After seeing Dublin's beautiful buildings and artwork he still couldn't get that memory out of his head. The memory he'd kept hidden for many years. He wandered mindlessly around the city, somehow managing to end up back at the door of his hotel room with a bottle of whiskey.

He just stood there. Thinking about her. Skye. Why didn't he stay and talk? And why couldn't he stop thinking about her? He looked over at her door, which was right next to his. He walked over to knock, which wasn't something he'd normally do, but he was vulnerable. He didn't have any idea what he was going to do once she opened the door. Just as he raised his fist to knock, he heard a voice behind him.

"Are you planning on sharing that?", Skye said looking at the bottle of whiskey.

He turned around and looked at her. Without a second thought he walked over and kissed her. Something he'd been wanting to do since they first had that talk in Peru.

Skye was pinned against the hallway wall when she broke away.

"Grant.."

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have-"

"No it's not that. Um. The rest of the team."

"Don't worry. They're all on a different floor."

They smiled at each other and stumbled into her room. This wasn't how either of them thought this night was gonna go but they were glad that it did.

Meanwhile two floors below them:

"Come in!"

May walked into Coulson's room to find him laying on his bed wearing one of those hotel bathrobes next to a bottle of wine in an ice bucket. She laughed out loud .

"You look ridiculous."

"Would it help if I told you I'm not wearing anything under it?" ,he said while pouring wine into their glasses.

"Definitely", she took a sip of the wine, "Damn that's good. But what's the occasion?"

"I figured we deserved a nice night, to be ourselves. No hiding. And to celebrate finding her. Besides when was the last time we did anything like this."

"It has been a while.", she said as she sat on the bed next to him.

"18 years." ,he held her hand and stared at it shaking his head, "that's how long it's been Melinda. And even though I would give anything for that day to never have happened; I'm glad you're here with me and I'm glad we found Daisy. I just wish she knew."

"Soon, Phil. Soon."

She was never one to talk. So she just let her lips show how she felt. He didn't mind this at all. Ever since they figured out they found their daughter a weight was lifted off their shoulders. They were definitely able to enjoy themselves a little bit more.

In the morning Melinda woke to the sound of the shower turning on. She smiled when she remembered who was in the shower. She was already naked so she jumped straight in with him.

"Good Morning." ,she said turning him around to kiss him.

"Sorry, didn't want to wake you."

"It's ok I like this."

"I'm glad."

Meanwhile two floors above:

Ward holds Skye in his arms as they lay on the bed in her hotel room. He wakes up first, delighted to see the beautiful woman laying at his chest. Skye began to wake. She looked up and saw the handsome man smiling at her.

"Hi"

"Hi"

"That was nice."

"Yes. But it wasn't what I meant when I suggested when I said we should 'talk'."

They laughed and Ward pulled her into a kiss.

"I'm glad this happened. I don't know if you noticed but I'm not one to show my feelings."

"Oh really" she said sarcastically.

"The staff didn't only show me my brother. I saw you.", his voice started to break, "I'm used to pushing those feelings aside, Skye. But with you. It was too hard. Those feelings weren't meant to stay hidden."

"You are so cute when you open up, you know that?"

As I said in the summary Coulson and May being Skye's parents changes the entire story as we know it! In 1x08 (The Well) Ward ended up sleeping with May. BUT HERE May was busy with Coulson. So Skyeward was born early YAY.
