Disclaimer: I do not own Skye, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward, or FitzSimmons. I only own the variation I have created off of this very popular idea.

I firstly must thank Neeeeeal who, as the author of Turn Back Time, has done such a very interesting and lovely job on their story I wanted to give my attempt of it a go.

However, because I cannot find B.J. Britt's wiki page or his age, I'm going with Ward. But that's not the only reason. It's because with the Hydra plot, I see no room or logical way for this story to make sense. So... It's AUish. Ward isn't hydra. Yay! Because I really did love Ward.

Warning, MAY include Avengers. I upped the rating for my own comfort.

For the past two days, Phil juggled between taking care of the kids and taking care of Mel. He would get May comfortable in bed for the morning, knowing full well that she would try to talk if she was surrounded by the kids. He'd set her up, take her temperature, leave her some oatmeal and two pieces of toast with butter and go to keep the kids from starting a food fight down stairs. After breakfast, he'd come up at a free moment after getting the kids settled on a tv show to get rid of the tray and often found her asleep. Between then and nap time, he would spend the day playing house with Skye or Ninja Turtles with the boys. When Skye Jemma and Leo were down for their naps, Grant would either read, watch tv or play Mario Kart.

During nap time, Coulson would check in on May. If she was awake, usually reading a book, he'd make her drink his grandmothers special Apple Cider Vinegar remedy and take her temperature. He'd bring her some warm chowder, though she would only eat half of it. By the time he had lunch for the kids down, they'd be awake. And after lunch, he had them quietly read for a while before going off to play. It was a steady rhythm, and it helped that Jemma was helping out.

Jemma would go around, having Leo or Grant help her clear the table after lunch and dinner. She'd get Skye and Leo to brush their teeth and clean up their crayons when they were done coloring. Only when everyone else's needs were taken care of, did Jemma have fun with Leo. Coulson really did appreciate her help, it made things less chaotic.

May squeezed her eyes shut, the creaking of the door slowly waking her up. Blinking her eyes open, May turned over on her side to see Skye looked at her inquisitively. It took her a moment to realize it wasn't Coulson, nor was he coming up with Skye and slowly pressed her face into the pillow. Skye reached over, gently brushing May's hair out of her face.

"You're hot," Skye says, frowning.

May sighed, knowing if she uttered a word Skye would either tattle on her to Coulson or not even hear her. May just shrugged, staring at Skye with half closed eye lids. Skye just stared at her, head tilted. She looked so concerned.

"Where's Phil?" May asked in a croak after a while, wanting to be left alone.

"Playing baseball with Grant. Leo and Jemma are napping."

"You should be napping too..."

"But I'm not tired," Skye says, slowly trying to climb up into the bed, "And I wanna spend some time with you."

May stared at Skye, as she got on her knees and slowly rearranged herself into a comfortable position without bothering May. She laid on her side, staring at May. It was then that May realized that the child had brought a book with her.

"What's that for?"

"I'm gonna read to you," Skye says with a smile, grabbing the book. It was, Peanut Butter and Cupcake. She sat up so May could see the pictures of the peanut butter and the cupcake. And then she started to read aloud, telling the story of young peanut butters search for the perfect best friend.

May listened quietly, deciding she didn't have the heart or the energy to make Skye leave. Skye smiled, showing her the pictures with excitement. May would nod along, a sign that she was listening to the four year old.

As Skye finished the story, she looked over to see May nearly dozing off on her. Skye placed the book down and slowly laid down next to May to look her in the eye.

"I hope you get better soon," Skye says, "Because it seems really boring up here all alone, even with a few books and tv. When you get better, Jemma says we'll have a big tea party to celebrate and she'll use her easy bake oven to bake us some cookies and brownies. Just like a real party!"

May smiled at that sleepily, "I'll bring the tea."

Skye smiled excitedly, "Really, that be awesome."

May nods before closing her eyes. She tried to resist a yawn, but it failed. She felt Skye adjust the blankets around her, so she'd be more comfortable. She also felt Skye getting comfortable next to her, like she was going to stay for a while.

When Grant and Coulson came back in from playing ball, Grant left to go freshen up for lunch. Coulson went to check on May, stopping in the doorway when he saw Skye and May in the bed, one on top of the covers and one under. Except they were both asleep, the Peanut Butter and Cupcake book by Skye's feet.

Coulson smiled, pulling out his phone so he had something for future reference to show May. He smiled, watching Skye yawn and huddle closer to May, the older woman wrapping an arm around Skye subconsciously. He smiled, not having the heart to wake either of them and just settled into letting them sleep. He turned, going to go get Jemma and Leo for lunch. He'll save their lunch for when they wake up.

I hope that everyone who wanted a Skye/May bonding scene got what they wanted. However, I need May to bond with all children so I can't focus on her relationship with Skye. Also, May's sick, so that's why she may be OOC. Jemma is being the mommy figure.

Hope you enjoy it.
