Coulson made his way to the roof of the building by himself. Countless thoughts of what Fury could have waiting for him. Once he got to the door to the roof he put his hand on the doorknob and took in a deep breath before he opened it.

He didn't know exactly what he expected, but he certainly did not expect what he saw in front of him. It was perfect. A white, drapey rug covered in white rose pedals led the way from the door to a white gazebo. What looked like Christmas lights were spread across the floor on both sides of the white rug to give the beautiful illusion that they were among the stars. On top of all the beautiful decorations was the amazing view.

"Nice to see you read my note, Phil.", Coulson heard Fury say from the corner behind him.

"Come on, Nick. You know I didn't need that."

"I know. It was just a precaution."

Coulson walked over so he wasn't so far away from Fury.

"I knew you were good at almost everything; but I never thought wedding decorating was one of them."

"Well I guess I'm full of surprises.", Fury gestured for Coulson to turn around and look behind him. He couldn't believe who he was looking at.

"Romanoff?"

"Hey, Coulson. Thanks for telling me you're alive."

"I can't believe you're here. Who…"

"I did.", Fury said, "Sorry I couldn't get Cap. He's kinda busy right now and he sends his congratulations. I was gonna get Stark, but he thinks we're both dead and I don't feel like breaking that to him just yet- you know how dramatic can be. And Barton is about to have baby number two so… yeah not the best time."

"But you got me, Phil! And also, Fury didn't decorate this I did."

"Ohh that explains it."

"So you and May, huh? Still goin at it?"

"Well we're about to get married, so yeah."

Skye walked through the door. You could tell she was excited because she didn't notice the Avenger standing next to her.

"Ok dad. She's almost here. Ready to get married?"

"Dad?", Romanoff said, "How come you never told me you had a daughter Coulson?"

Skye's eyes widened when she realized who was talking.

"Holy crap! You're Black Widow!"

"Yeah. And you are?"

"Skye. I'm Coulson and May's daughter."

"I see that.", she turned her attention to Coulson, "I've known you- what… 13 years? Never thought to mention she existed?"

Coulson smiled at her and shrugged. He turned immediately when he heard the door knob turn. His jaw basically hit the floor when he saw his bride.

"Wow.", he said walking over to her. "You are… just, wow.", Coulson put his hands around her waist and leant down for a kiss.

She broke away first with a smile on her face.

"You're not too bad yourself, there.", her hands were on his chest. She felt around and realized something was missing. "Hey, no tie? I like it."

Coulson looked over at Skye who had a giant smile on his face.

"I had a feeling you would.", he leant down to kiss her again.

Natasha made walked over to them.

"Hey, are we gonna do this or what?"

May separated from Coulson and was completely shocked to see her old friend standing in front of her.

"Oh my god, Nat!", she pushed Coulson aside and went over to give Natasha a hug.

"I missed you, May. I heard you were in administration. What happened?"

"Nothing that matters anymore. Phil here pulled me out after TAHITI."

"TAHITI?", Natasha mouthed to Fury.

"I'll explain later. In the meantime; ", Fury reached into his leather jacket and pulled out a small book. "Did someone order a wedding?"

"Ok. We are gathered here today blah blah blah. You know the drill. Let's get to the good part.", Fury started.

"My dad said he's done this before.", Skye whispered to Natasha.

"He has. But that doesn't mean that he's good at it."

"Ok now can we get the rings."

"Fury who are you talking to? You're the best man.", Coulson reminded him.

"Dammit, right.", he reached into one of the many pockets in his jacket and pulled out the rings.

"Wait, we actually have rings? Where did those come from?", May asked.

"I found some time after Cybertek. Even got it engraved.", he said as he took it the two rings in his hands and handed one to her.

"'Never giving this up again.'", she read aloud. "That's perfect."

"And I think now would be a good time for the vows. Phil?"

He took in a deep breath, held both of her hands and looked into the eyes of the beautiful woman he was marrying.

"Melinda, I… I'm in awe of the woman you are. I have been since the the day I met you. I think back to that day and I find it amazing how much has changed since. Words… they just can't describe the way I feel when I'm around you. I could be having the worst day ever-and yes I am referring to recent events- but it doesn't matter when I see you. Because I know if I have you, then it's not a bad day at all. And we've had our share of bad day's haven't we?", he made sure she knew he was talking about losing their daughter. "But after every betrayal, near or actual death experience, I promise that I will continue to do whatever I have to to stand by you- forever. I also promise: I will always be there to help you finish a bottle of our favorite scotch.", with that he took her left hand and skins the ring on her finger. "I know you don't prefer rings so I made you an alternative. This is just for show."

May was never one to show much emotion. But her eyes did grow a bit watery after hearing those vows. But in true Melinda May fashion she shook it off and was able to continue with grace.

"Melinda, your vows?", said Fury.

"Phillip J. Coulson.", she started. He smiled at the use of his full first name. "Where do I start with you? I remember the first day I met you. You were so warm, and kind. It's one of the reasons I let myself get to know you. That and that smile you gave me.

You've always been there for me. Always. Every time I was down you picked me right back up. I was terrified when we found out we were having a baby. And I knew you were too. You could've left- but you didn't. After everything went down I pushed you away. That was a mistake. In those 18 years we were apart there was a giant hole in my life. I tried to fill it. But nothing seemed to fit. In the past year you and Skye… you changed my life- again. And I couldn't be more grateful. I love you. Always have, Always will.", she brought his hands up to her mouth to kiss them before she put on his ring.

At this point Skye was a complete wreck of emotions. Not even a year ago she had no one to call family. She had accepted that family just wasn't something she was ever going to get. And here she was standing as the maid of honor of the people she calls mom and dad. That wasn't even the biggest factor in her many reasons for being an emotional wreck. Seeing two people that in love is enough to make anyone well up a bit. Even a tough man with an eye patch.

Fury cleared his throat and rubbed his nose.

"Very sweet. Now um. Do you take each other and all that wedding crap?"

"We do.", they said simultaneously.

"Great. By the powers vested in me by the now crippled but still alive Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division- I pronounce you husband and wife. Now kiss her Coulson, that's an order."

"You don't give the orders anymore, Sir.", Coulson said as he leaned in and gave May the kiss he's been waiting for.

Their first kiss as an official married couple was something they never expected. There was something else there that they never felt before. Sure before they already had everything they ever needed, but this marriage was just an added bonus. They kissed for so long they didn't even realize the three other people on the roof with them had left and given them the rest of their night to themselves.

"Hello, husband.", May said as they finished their first kiss as man and wife.

"Hello wife.", they both laughed at how cheesy they were being.

Coulson held onto her arms that were draped around his neck and looked around at the amazing looking, empty rooftop.

"We're alone.", he informed her.

"We are.", she removed one hand from behind his neck and ran it up and down his chest while he kept his hands around her waist. "What do you think we should do about it?"

He looked to his left and found a radio on the ledge. There was a note next to it that read, Press play, Lovebirds. -F.

Coulson gave May a curious look. He let go of her and walked over to press the button. When he did, he was delighted to hear their song playing. He looked back at May who was equally delighted. Coulson held out his hand and she took it. He twirled her around before pulling her in close and swaying back and forth.

There was no need for words at that moment. They communicated through eye contact and body movement. The feelings they were feeling at that moment was a thousand times better than either of them could ever imagine.

The song finished and they sat on a bench on the roof that gives them the perfect view of the city. She had his jacket on while she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Melinda?"

"Phil?"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think today was a pretty good day for us."

"Hmm. We went around the city like a normal family without having to watch our backs, got married on this beautifully decorated rooftop overlooking the city we had our first mission and confessed our love for each other in, and now we're here. That's not a pretty good day. That's a damn near perfect day."

She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled too, but it slowly faded away.

"What's wrong?"

"This time tomorrow we'll be off who knows where starting the restoration of SHIELD. And I'm in charge of it. What if I can't- It's just… such a big job. I don't know if I can-"

"Hey. Don't do that to yourself. Don't convince yourself that you're incapable of doing this. Fury chose you for a reason. He knows you can do it, Skye knows you can do it, and I know you can do it. We'll be there for you one hundred percent. You're not alone in this, ok?"

"Ok. Thanks, I needed that."
"Anytime.", he lent down for what seemed like their thousandth kiss of the night (not that it mattered). "Nice view huh?"

"Oh yeah."

"You know where else you can see this view?"

"Where's that?"

"Our hotel room that is currently empty."

His eyebrows raised when he realized what she was saying. He took her hand and they made their way to the room as fast as they could.

Sorry to that person who commented that they were disappointed about skyeward in this fic. In case you haven't noticed this is centered around Philinda. I did like skyeward, but i think the hydra twist opened up a lot more storylines that i would like to explore. Ward won't be going away in this story for a while. If you're into spoilers I don't plan on him loosing feelings for skye anytime soon. ;P
