A/N- there's a big trigger in here for abuse from a scene that has the * to start it and ** to end it. I changed stuff in the last chapter so it's currently September of 2015. In the chapter Lexi will turn four in November. I'm going to have the trigger scene all together before going back to the normal novel. There's going to be a scenes that I have to put the stars on so just watch out.

Lexi woke up at 6 in the morning and wanted to go see if her mommy was up. Her mommy was normally up by now and in the shower.

Lexi went into her room and saw not just her mommy in bed but someone else in bed with her mommy. Skye got on the bed and put her hands on the mans back and realized that it was Grant.

Grant woke up the next morning to see the clock said 6am. Cold little hands were touching his back and he woke up feeling the hands. He turned over to see Lexi sitting on the bed next to him.

"Hi Grant..." She said as Grant smiled and kissed her head.

"Good morning Lexi.." He said then told the little girl to go in her room so he could get dressed. Lexi did that.

Grant tried to wake up Skye but she just sneezed and coughed. Grant helped her get dressed then got her into bed. He got dressed in a t-shirt and jeans he had in his suit case. He got Lexi dressed and ate breakfast with her.

"Grant?" Lexi asked looking over at Grant with a look on her face.

"Yes Lex..." Grant said as he drank a cup of coffee.

"Why were you in bed with my mommy?" Lexi asked as Grant spit out his coffee a bit.

"We just fell asleep together..." Grant said hoping that was the last question because he didn't want to explain sex to a 3 year old.

"Why were you guys naked?" Lexi asked as Grant sip out his coffee again.

"That's a story for when you're older, honey..." Grant said looking over at the three year old who nodded and kept eating.

Skye walked into the room and kissed Lexi's head then went to kiss Grant and sneezed instead.

Grant felt her forehead. "You have a fever baby... Go back to sleep..." Grant said as Skye looked at him stubbornly.

"I really need to get ready for work..." Skye said rubbing her eyes.

"Go back to sleep. You can call in sick. Your boss is very reasonable and he'll let you miss a day..." Grant said as Skye looked at him.

"There's different words that I would use for him but not in front of my daughter..." Skye said and started walking back to her room.

After they ate breakfast, they said goodbye o school and Grant took Lexi to school. He picked up a tea for Skye and headed back to Skye's apartment.

When he got back to Skye's apartment he found her getting sick in her bathroom. Grant put down her tea and held her hair back and rubbed her back. When Skye finished she brushed her teeth. Skye had a flushed face and was sneezing and coughing.

"You're definitely sick, Miss Johnson..." Grant said as Skye flipped him off.

"Why don't you go to the doctor?" Grant asked as Skye looked over at Grant.

"I don't go to the doctors unless it's for my well visit..." Skye said and looked at Grant.

"Meaning you couldn't afford it..." Grant said as Skye looked over at him with a sad look on her face.

"I can't afford it..." Skye said as Grant looked over at her.

"Well your my girlfriend now and I want to make sure my girlfriend and her daughter have health care and insurance also it's company policy... Also I gotta make sure my girls is okay when she's having out baby." Grant said and looked at Skye.

"Grant please don't I can't take money from you. You've already the two- the three of us so much. I can't Grant..." Skye said looking over at Grant who just leaned in and kissed her lips gently. "I'm gonna get you sick, Grant.." Skye mumbled as Grant looked over at her.

"I don't care I love you way to much..." Grant said and kissed her again. They stayed there kissing for awhile but eventually Skye pulled back.

Skye coughed and looked over at Grant. "I think that I'm going to take you up on going to the doctors office today..." Skye said and Grant looked at her.

They took her to the doctor to find out it was just a cold and the pregnancy symptoms. He was very nice and careful with Skye. Grant stayed with her just to make sure she'd be okay. He knew how fragile Skye had been recently. Skye actually liked the doctor and it was the first time in awhile she found a doctor that she liked and felt comfortable with.

Over the next couple of months Skye and Grant got closer and their bond grew just like Skye's stomach. When Skye was about 4 months Grant asked her and Lexi to move in with him. It was right around Lexi's birthday and Lexi loved Grant. Grant loved Lexi and treated her like she was his own daughter. They sat down Lexi and told her that Skye was pregnant and Lexi was really happy to have a sibling and someone to play with. They were becoming an actual family and that was all Skye ever wanted in life.

One day Lexi was at pre school as Skye and Grant were packing up stuff from her apartment. They took a minute to sit back and relax. Skye still hadn't told Grant something that she should have awhile ago.

"A few months ago... actually the night of the ball, Lexi asked me why she didn't have a dad so I told her she had a daddy but he was a very bad man and I don't want her looking for him..." Skye said as Grant looked over at her.

"You told her the truth. He is a really bad man and he's an asshole... I just wished you told me sooner babe." He said looking over at Skye as the apartment door opened and closed. There was footsteps and a man stood in the room.

"Come on Skye you know I'm not that bad." The voice said and Skye looked up to see Miles. Before Grant could do anything Miles punched him out. Skye froze in fear just looking up at Miles.

Skye backed up against the wall and Miles got right in her face. "You know you've been a bad girl, Skye. Running away from me like that with my daughter like that? You know better than that Skye..." Miles said and swiftly slapped her across the face. "Now I'm going to make you suffer like you made me wait and kept me from my daughter..." He said.

"She's not your daughter she is my daughter. She will never ever be yours.." Skye said as Miles smirked at her. "You had your choice..." He said and kissed her gently then put a taser against her skin and tased her.

Skye let out a small scream then she passed out in his arms.

A few hours later Skye woke up in a room tied to a chair. She started mumbling Grant's name but memories kept flooding back and she wanted to throw up, scream, cry. She tried to move but she was handcuffed to the chair and her ankles were bound to the chair too.

Soon after Miles walked into the room and looked at her. "Hey baby did you miss me..." He said smirking and placed his hand on her thigh.

Skye didn't respond and fidgeted when he put his hand on her. She didn't want to be touched by him and she didn't like how she felt with him.

"Come on sweetheart talk to me..." He said unlocking the handcuffs. He picked her up and pinned her down on the bed.

"You're an asshole and I hate you.." Skye spat looking up at him.

Miles smirked and looked at her. "Is that why you traded me in for, Mr. Billionaire...." He said and started kissing down her neck. "You're a slut, Skye. Going out with another man when you're mine. Come on Skye I thought you were smart..." He said to her.

"Stop touching me!" Skye yelled and was struggling in his arms.

"Well I know what the punishment is going to be for misbehaving and I'm sure you know too..." He said as Skye's face paled.

"No no no don't touch me no!" Skye screamed but Miles' didn't listen. She screamed when he started pulling off her shirt

Grant woke up on the cold hard floor and looked at the clock and cursed. He ran to pick up Lexi from pre-school but was on the phone with the police telling them what had happened. He couldn't let Lexi go. He knew Skye would want him to watch her and just keep her safe.

"Where's my mommy?" Lexi asked walking down the street with Grant who was walking at a rapid pace.

"I don't know but we gotta get to my office okay?" He said as Lexi nodded.

Since they were walking so fast Lexi fell on the side walk and scraped her arm. She started crying and Grant kneeled down to her and picked her up.

"Shh shh it's okay Lex it's okay..." He said kissing Lexi's head as she cried into his chest.

"I want mommy..." Lexi kept saying crying into his chest. Grant bounced with her holding her close.

"I want mommy too but all we can do is wait for now, baby..." He said holding Lex close on his chest.

"Okay daddy..." Lexi said laying her head on Grants chest. Grant just smiled when she called him 'Daddy' then sprinted to his building. He ran about 5 blocks but he had to go up to the 30th floor. Since the elevator wasn't going fast enough he sprinted up the stairs.

He remember there was a meeting going on with shield cooperation that he was supposed to be at an hour ago. Grant ran up and into the room breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" Coulson asked as Grant just nodded and sat down. Someone gave Grant a bottle off water. Grant took a sip and he sat Lexi down in Skye's chair.

"Skye's missing..." Grant managed to say in the middle of breathing heavily. Lexi looked at Grant and climbed back into his lap holding onto him tightly.

"What do you mean missing?" Bobbi asked looking over at him.

"I mean she's missing missing because Miles took her! He knocked me out a took her..." Grant said softly.

Leo looked down cursing. "I have to call my wife..." He said and ran out of the room to call Jemma.

"Who's Miles?" Coulson asked a bit confused.

"Skye's crazy ass ex-boyfriend and Lexi's father..." Grant said to Coulson as Lexi looked at Grant.

"Why would my dad kidnap my mommy?" She asked as Grant sighed a bit.

"He's a nut job honey..." Grant said kissing Lexi's head. "And I guess he wants to say something to your mommy because he never got to meet you..."

"He sounds like a dick..." Coulson said as Grant glared at him then looked at Lexi.

"You do not say that work, Mr. Phil!" Lexi yelled at Coulson who just looked at the table.

"Who told her my first name?" He asked as Lexi giggled.

"It's on your badge silly!" She said pointing to his name on his badge.

"I think we should go to the police station and go report her missing..." Coulson said as Grant nodded looking at the older man.

"That sounds good to me.." Grant said getting up.

Skye stayed laid back on the bed curled up in the sheets with her hand on her stomach. She heard the door open and close. She saw Miles walk over to her.

"You little slut you're pregnant..." Miles said and looked down at her.

"Maybe I am..." Skye said curling up and keeping a hand on her stomach.

"So you leave me while you go off whoring around with, Mr. Ward..." Miles said and looked over at Skye who was glaring at him angrily.

"I was not whoring around. You were the one whoring around while we were together. Now you kidnap me because I ran with my daughter because I didn't want you hurting us..." Skye hissed as him and sat up. Miles kicked her in the stomach and it was so strong that it broke a rib. Skye gasped and groaned. "Stop hurting my baby..." Skye said curling up on the bed.

"So you are pregnant..." Miles said looking down at her then smirked. "Don't worry because you won't be seeing your billionaire or your daughter for awhile so get comfortable with me, doll.." Miles said and planed a kiss on her shoulder before walking out of the room.

Skye curled up crying into her pillows just wanting to go home. She wanted Grant to hold her and just tell her it would be okay but she knew it wasn't going to be okay as long as she was with Miles.
