Healing, Family and Finding Home.

Phil begun to stir and the first thing that he felt was a throbbing in his shoulder and the second thing that he felt was a dead weight on his other arm, he opened his eyes and turned onto his side to the sleeping form of Melinda May. All he could do was look in awe as he hair splayed beyond her like a brunette halo and that to him is what she should be wearing cause she was and always will be his angel, he didn't know what he did to deserve her but he had every intention of keeping her.

In the middle of his reverie he heard, "Phil, I can feel you watching me, stop it." She turned her head, her bright brown eyes stared back of him.

"Well, quit giving me something to stare at then."

"I can leave and then you will not have something to look at..." May got up to leave when she felt a solid pair of arms around her waist pulling her back onto the bed, staring into a sexiest eyes she had ever seen and they were shining with love. "You, Melinda May are not leaving my side ever again and I don't care what I have to say or do to make sure that happens."

He bent his head down and planted his face in crease of her neck; he was planting scorching kisses along her neckline to behind her ear and sunk his teeth in her pulse point practically ripping a long drawn out moan from her throat.

"Philip Coulson don't you dare start something that you cannot finish. For the love of god please keep-"

***KNOCK KNOCK**

"AC, its Skye, can I talk to you when you have five minutes…? Oh, and Hi May, hope you're ok in there." She walked away but they could practically hear the smirk from the other side of the door as she left and walked down the hall.

"Look honey, I am going to have to talk to her, she'd found out the truth because Garret ran his mouth and now I need to go and be the father figure she never had and keep her from going off the deep end… "

"Hey Phil, whilst I find it endearing and terribly arousing please stick to May if you don't want me to jump you. Secondly, go and speak to her, she has just found out that we could've been the cause of her not having a mother but also that she might not be human. Go and be Phil Coulson, show her that we all care for her." She grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down, before he knew what hit him she and thrust her tongue into his mouth and was doing the sexiest of dances, "But remember, I want you alone ASAP, cause if I remember correctly, we have some mapping of bodies to do." She ran her hands down his back and made him shudder with desire and love.

She was smirking at him but he eyes held the love meant only for him, Phil had his face in her neck but a muffled sound could be heard, "Oh my god are you trying to kill me? I have been shot, stabbed, died and come back to life, but you Melinda May, are trying to finish me off."

"I am off to take a shower babe." She literally sauntered off into the bathroom wearing 'sexy' like a second skin.

Phil laid back staring at the ceiling thinking he was the luckiest man alive but he knew that first, he had a job to do.

He got up and got dressed, heading to the kitchen where he knew Skye would be, he passed Fitzsimmons.

"How you doing sir?" Jemma asked.

"Phil. My name is Phil, and after all we have been through you have more then acquired the right to call me that, but more importantly how are you? Fitz, you ok? I saw you took a couple of hits back there?"

"Sir errr, I mean Phil, I'll be fine just a few bumps and bruises but no way was he going to hurt any of you guys and get away with it." By guys he know he was mainly talking about Jemma Simmons, he knew of his soft spot but was not going to call him on it until he was ready to tell the rest of the group that they had quit fighting feelings and admitted them.

"Jemma, you?"

"Bit shook up Phil, but nothing that being around my family can't cure…" She smiled at the quizzical look on his face, "By family I mean you guys, where ever you all are I want to be, cause I cannot imagine being apart of or wanting to be part of anything else."

Phi was speechless for the first time as Jemma threw her arms around him and Fitz patted him on the back, showing just how much he meant to not only May but to everyone, " Wherever you go Phil, we are going too." They walked off together and he saw just before they got to the other door, Fitz slipped his hand into Jemma's and then they disappeared.

Phil, with a slightly bemused expression on his face, carried on his walk to the kitchen to see Skye. As he entered he saw Skye in world of her own so he approached gently and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey."

"Hey Skye, want a drink?" Phil put the kettle on to make a cup of coffee and pulled out two cups knowing that she would want one anyway.

"Phil, am I an alien?" He whipped his head around and looked into the eyes of a child, "Will you still want me around? What if I break or turn bad? Was my mother even human? How did she really die?"

"Hey, hey, come here…" he grabbed her and pulled her to him, the sobbing was now uncontrollable, but he was not leaving her until she knew that she had a family and no matter what she would always have one.

"Look Skye, what Garret said was true we are not sure if the Agent that brought you to the orphanage killed your mother, but what I do know is that this Agent did their best to protect you and ensure that you were safe and under the watch of S.H.I.E.L.D. No matter what happens to you, we are there to watch, guide and protect you, the others are your family and so am I. You are going nowhere, unless you want to and it is NOT because you think that you might break or go bad, do you hear me?"

"Really?" eyes were red, nose runny and voice hoarse but she still held that fear that he would reject her.

"You are going nowhere, except to see FitzSimmons, who I believe have made your favourite pizza with a 'chick flick' that even Fitz agreed to watch. You are family, you are MY family."

He kissed her forehead and held her until she was ready to let go, she lifted her head and said, "You know Phil, I have never had a male figure like that in my life, but I am sure glad that you're it…. Now who mentioned pizza?" She squeezed him and kissed him on the cheek, "Now, I am sure May is waiting for you, no?"

Now the smirk was full on grin, "And you my dear are full of cheek!"

"But you love me for it!" she quickly replied,

"Yes Skye, yes I do." She walked away into where FitzSimmons were and Phil just laughed to himself, knowing that everything was going to be ok. He set off back to his room on the hunt for his special lady, intent on fulfilling that promise that he had made to her.

He walked into his room but it was pitch black, his stomached dropped thinking that she had changed her mind when two arms snaked under his and landed on his chest.

"Why is your heart beating so fast? I am not going anywhere Phil. Remember-?"

She never got chance to finish the sentence as he whipped around and pressed against the door, his hands threaded through her hair and tilted it back exposing her neck to him.

He could see the pulse beating rapidly as nipped the aforementioned area, which he quickly realised, would rip the sounds he loved to hear. He peppered kisses all over her face and grabbed her hands pressing them above her head. "Don't even suggest things like that my heart could not take it if you did decide to leave."

May thought she was in heaven, she had found the man of her dreams and he wanted her too. She dropped her arms and pulled his shirt over his head, she was surprised at what he was hiding under the suit. He was not chiselled like others but he was well toned, lean and had hair travelling down his abdomen that she was desperate to follow. She grabbed his hair and yanked it up, pulling him to her, to kiss like her life depending on it. She bit his lip and pulled a groan from , letting her know that she too was striking the right chords.

"May, do you have any idea what you mean to me?"

"If it's half as much as you mean to me then I might have an idea, now take us home."

He leant up and looked into her eyes, "Together."

She kissed him with all she had and agreed, "Together."

They knew they would have a safe-haven for a while but they would eventually be found. Though until the time came, they would enjoy each other, and just for once, have their own little piece of happiness.
