A/N- This chapter is going to be about Skye basically healing and trying to cope with everything that happened. I know I didn't handle the miscarriage well in the hospital scene but you're gonna be in shock when you hear death news. I also know I left out medical parts but I am 12. I'm trying to write this story and I think I'm doing pretty good. If there's any issues please message me privately or shoot me a dm on Instagram. There's going to have a lot of trigger flashbacks and we're not gonna get to celebrate Christmas until next chapter. Also if any can guess what show I'm tying into this, I'll dedicate the next chapter to you.

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas. It was snowing, the weather was getting cold, there was Christmas music playing and it was also the perfect time for Skye and Lexi to meet Grant's family.

Skye hadn't been doing too great along the lines of getting better and trying to accept what had happened. She missed the baby, she missed Grant talking to her stomach, she missed being able to walk around freely, and she missed being able to sleep without waking up screaming of nightmares. She physically was starting to recover nicely but mentally she was a mess.

Skye had been home for about a week and the first thing she did when she got back was took a shower with Grant's help but she needed to get the feel of Miles off of her body. It finally started snowing and that always calmed Skye down.

It was two days before Christmas and Lexi was home. They were going out to Grant's childhood home in Massachusetts so they could spend the holidays with Grant's family. Lexi was very excited to meet Grant's parents but Skye on the other hand was still a mess. She was curled up crying in Grant's bed for the most part.

Grant had been packing up Lexi, himself, and Skye. He eventually walked over to Skye's side and looked down at her. "Cheer up little duck it's Christmas time..." He said and kissed her cheek gently.

That made Skye smile and he hadn't seen her smile in days. Grant kissed her head and looked at her. "That's my girl... Do you want to talk about everything?" Grant asked as Skye looked at him.

"I know a lot happened and I lost our baby and just a lot happened..." She said starting to tear up when Grant rubbed her back gently.

"I know the baby was in your uterus but it wasn't your fault you lost the baby. It was that sly bastards fault and also the doctors had to do the surgery thing..." Grant said as Skye raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" Skye asked as Grant sighed.

"I don't know I'm not smart when it comes to science and the human body is repulsive especially the female one. It's like there's three holes in one spot. It's weird..." Grant said looking at Skye.

Skye knew Grant was being serious but she ended up letting out a small laugh. His feelings towards the female body was strange but his awkwardness made Skye feel a bit better.

"I'll explain later but getting back to the subject,  baby..." Skye said as Grant snaked an arm around her gently.

"Yes sorry... Honestly how do you feel about just the whole situation..." Grant asked as Skye just shrugged a bit. They say in comfortable silence for awhile before Skye started talking.

"I miss the bump on my belly. I miss the baby moving around, the late night talks with you and the baby, I even miss the morning sickness. I just really want the baby to come back..." Skye said tearing up and looked up at Grant who nodded just listening to her. Skye went back to a moment at the hospital.

Grant had just left to take Lexi to Jemma and Leo's house for the night. It was the first time she was alone since she woke up. She just started crying, bawling and let all of her feelings out. She just lost her baby. Her baby with Grant. Someone that she actually loved.

Skye stopped a minute and realized something. 'I love Grant Ward.' She thought to herself as her eyes widened. "I love Grant Ward..." She said just saying it out loud so she knew how it sounded. She just smiled when she said it. She really didn't know if he loved her but by the way he looked at her and how Jemma said he was when she was gone she knew it was love. She complete forgot why she was upset then was just in awe knowing Grant loved her.

It took her a few minutes until she tried to move and she bursted back into tears completely upset and devastated about the whole everything. She honestly needed a therapist and antidepressants pills so she could be happy around Lexi and Grant.

Eventually Grant came back and saw her crying in bed. He slipped off his shoes and curled up in bed with her. They ended up crying together that night. Nobody said anything but it was comforting to really get a lot of it out.

Skye fell asleep in Grant's arms that night but Grant didn't sleep. He couldn't sleep. He knew that Miles was in police custody but he felt so guilty about what Miles did to Skye. His Skye. He knew he should have been there. He felt so let down and felt so bad he wasn't there to protect her. That really pissed him off. He should have fought Miles and been stronger. He would also feel regret for that.

Grant just tossed and turned for the rest of the night and laid restless in bed. The bed was small and uncomfortable but also he couldn't stop thinking about how bad he felt. Skye slept that night knowing how Grant felt. They were going to work on this together because they were a team.

"I know it's hard for you and it's really really hard for me too baby girl..." He said looking at Skye who just turned back to him.

"Do you know the tole Miles took on my body, Grant? It fucking hurts and having the miscarriage and that at the hospital was icing on the cake..." She said looking at him.

Grant looked down and kept his head down. "I'm sorry Skye I'm sorry..." He said quietly and just kept his head down. He knew Skye was having a lot more of a hard time but he was really struggling to.

Skye looked down and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Grant I didn't mean to come off rude but I don't know how to handle this okay? I know I can break in front of Lexi and I don't want you to see that side of me yet but I can't take it..." Skye said as Grant wiped the tears on her face.

"I know baby girl. It never gets easier but we can always try again if you want to.." Grant said as Skye looked at him.

"I don't think my body can handle it right now..." Skye said as Grant kissed her head nodding in agreement with her.

"Not now maybe in a year or so. By the way I packed you up for our trip to my parents..." Grant said as Skye let out a small grown.

"Do I really have to go meet them? Are you sure they won't get all on your ass for dating someone who has a kid with another man?" Skye asked as Grant looked over at her.

"Trust me it'll be okay. Like I told you, my mother had an affair and I was the product. Trust me my family is open to this stuff..." Grant said looking over at her.

"And you have how many brothers?" She asked as Grant looked at her. "Two on my mom's side and two on my birth father's side... I also have a sister on each side..." He said as Skye just nodded.

"And we're spending the holidays with your mother, your step-father, Christian, Evan, and Rose?" Skye asked as Grant smiled a bit.

"Almost baby girl. It's with Thomas not Evan..." He said as Skye nodded looking at him.

"Evan is in the Hamptons..." He said as Skye smiled and nodded.

"The Hamptons is really nice. We should go there with Lexi in the summer.." Skye said as Grant kissed her head. "Whatever you would like to do when you feel better.." Grant said and started to kiss down her neck.

"Baby what are you doing?" Skye mumbled as Grant looked over at her with a smile. "I'm trying to make you feel better..." He said as Skye let out a small smiled.

She cupped his face with her good hand and gently stroked his cheek before pulling him close to her. "Well something else might and I think you know what it is..." Skye said as Grant smirked and leaned in to kiss her.

"No I mean cake..." Skye said as Grant started laughing. "I thought you'd want a kiss but I'll go get you cake.." Grant said and got up.

After that, Skye was starting to be more open to Grant about the whole situation and she was really talking to him about how she felt. Skye was also trying to get Grant to be more open but whenever she mentioned his feelings he just got really quiet and would lay his head down in her lap.

"Skye we have to go or we're going to be late!" He called to Skye who was in the bathroom.

"I can't get up, idiot! Help me!" Skye said as Grant ran up to the bathroom and saw Skye stuck on the toilet. Skye just held up one finger to him and he chuckled helping her.

Lexi was sitting downstairs on the couch waiting for her parents to come down. She was excited to meet Grant's parents because she's never had grandparents before. It was going to be good to have people around her.

Skye and Grant eventually got down the stairs. They were taking Grant's private jet mainly because he didn't want to go on a regular plane with all of Skye's injuries.

"Also were not going to be late it's your jet.." Skye said as Grant placed a gently kiss to her forehead with a smile.

"I know that I was just trying to get you moving..." Grant said smiling as Skye playfully rolled her eyes.

They eventually left the pent house and got in the limo going to the airport. When they got in the jet they started flying. Lexi was hiding her face in Grant's side. It was the first time she had ever flown and she was a little scared.

"It's okay baby girl, daddy's got you..." Grant said holding Lexi close to him on one side as Skye curled up and started cuddling into the other side. Grant kissed Skye's forehead gently who was starting to fall asleep.

Skye ended up falling asleep in Grants lap comfortably. Grant was stroking her hair gently then Lexi wrapped her arms around Grant's neck.

"I know what mommy got you for Christmas..." Lexi said as Grant raised an eyebrow looking over at her with a small smile.

"Really?" He asked smiling over at her. "What is it baby girl?" He asked looking over at her with a smile.

"She told me not to tell you..." She said giggling as Grant frowned looking at her.

"Why not. Mommy doesn't have to know that you told me, baby girl..." Grant said as Lexi did her cute little giggle.

"You have to wait until Christmas..." Lexi said as Grant sighed looking at her. Grant and Skye already got Lexi a ton of presents. They both spoiled her even thought they didn't want her to be spoiled. Grant honestly couldn't help it. She was way to cute.

After another hour the plane landed and they got off at the airport. Grant was carrying the suitcases and Skye was walking on her crutches.

That's when Grant saw a woman and smiled. It was his mom.
