"Ohhhh that explains a lot.", Fitz said in response to to learning that Coulson and May are Skye's parents and that her and Ward were a thing.
"Yeah. We thought you guys were keeping some big S.H.I.E.L.D secret from us. But this is way better."
"And we know how much you've been wanting to find out where you came from. We're happy for you."
Fitz, Simmons and Skye had a sort of sibling-like relationship. The entire team just naturally felt like a big family. Coulson and May were mom and dad, Ward was the tough older brother, the three of them were the younger triplets.
So Skye had no problem opening up to them.
"Thanks you guys. I'm glad I can finally tell you about this.", after that sentence Ward walked into the lab. "Hey Grant good news. Everyone on the team knows everything now."
"Everyone?"
"Yup."
"Coulson too?"
"Yup. No more secrets. Isn't that great? Everything is out in the open. Right?"
"Yeah. Everything is out there. Everything."
Ward left the lab with slightly worried expression on his face. The three of them saw it and burst out laughing.
May walked into the lab to run some diagnostics on the monitor.
"So I hear we're going to the Academy."
"Yeah a the pool froze over. Pretty cool."
"Fitz, the cadet could've died."
May turned around and said, "Oh Skye your staying behind with me and Coulson. We need you on another mission."
"Dammit it really wanted to see the Academy" she said in a British accent.
"Awful accent."
Ward, Fitz and Simmons left the plane to access the situation. Leaving the reunited family all alone on the bus.
"So what's this mission about?"
"Oh there's no mission. We thought the three of us could use a little break."
"Ok then where are we going."
"Take it as a thank you for saving my life and a sorry for your messed up childhood."
"Aw thanks. So where are we going?"
"Wisconsin. I have a house up there. We can stay there for a few days."
"Uggh."
"C'mon Melinda Wisconsin's not that bad."
"What ever you say."
The three of them drove up to a big two story house in the suburbs of Wisconsin. Coulson, being the nice guy he was, carried all three of their bags at once. Once they got inside he plopped the bags on the floor with a big smile on his face.
"Welcome to Wisconsin."
"To be honest, I didn't picture you having a secret house in the suburbs."
"And you were right to think that. I got this house when my mom passed away a few years ago. I grew up here."
"Talk about messed up childhoods."
"May doesn't like the suburbs."
"Of course I do. The neighbors are overly friendly, it's too sunny, and you have to be nice back. I like it in the city. Everyone is rude and the tall buildings cover all the sun."
Skye and Coulson looked at each other. They could both tell that May was getting a bit worked up. Some one had to change the subject.
"I don't really mind the suburbs. It's nice seeing the kids playing in the front lawn."
This didn't really ease the awkwardness. If anything it made it worse.
"Ok, um I'm gonna make us some dinner you guys should go unpack."
"So whatcha cooking AC?"
"Ribs and my mother's famous Mac and cheese. Although it probably won't be be as good as hers. Don't get your hopes up."
"Aww come on it looks good."
May walked into the kitchen while she was on the phone with Ward. She put the phone on speaker without him knowing.
"Many were injured in the storm. But the only death was of the kid who designed the machine. The other kid is being taken to the sandbox."
"How are you guys. Any of you hurt?"
"No we're fine. Just a couple of bruises."
"Ok. We'll be on mission for a couple more days. Just stay at the Academy until we get back."
"Great. I'll get to be Fitz and Simmons' body guard while the little cadets try to take a picture with them."
"I'm sure you can manage.", said Coulson to Ward's surprise.
Ward cleared his throat.
"Thank you sir. Um.. Can I talk to Skye?"
Coulson looked at her and she had her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing too loud.
"No you may not. Over."
He hung up just as Ward was about to say something.
"You know he's afraid of you right."
"Trust me. He's right to be."
"Wow."
"Skye, I lost you once. Actually twice. I'm not gonna let anyone else hurt you."
"Wards not gonna hurt me. What we have- I can't really explain it but it feels real."
"Ok. But I just wanna make sure he knows what I'm capable of."
"What ever. Just make your Mac and cheese."
The rest of the vacation was great. They spent that time to completely catch up with each other. Asking each other any and all the questions that they needed answered. But there was one in particular that stuck out.
"So you guys must've had a name for me before all this happened."
May smiled at this question. She was the one who picked her name.
"Yah. We did. It was Daisy Lian."
"Daisy Lian- Coulson?"
"Yeah."
"That's pretty."
"I thought so too. Lian is my mother's name and daisies are my favorite."
It was their last night at the house before they returned to the bus.
"Thanks for taking me here. It means a lot that you guys care enough about me to do that."
"It's the least we could do."
"I think it's time for me to clock out. All that cooking makes me tired."
"Me too. All that eating makes me tired.", said May with a smirk on her face.
They were on their way upstairs when Skye said, "Night Mom, night Dad."
They froze and turned around.
"Is that ok. Can I call you that."
"That's perfect."
