Truth and Emotions
I sighed. This was hard. Infront of us, was this family. Our family. The family WE made. Not by blood. But with something way more significant than that. Love. Now here they were, looking at us with wide eyes.
I looked at Phil and nodded. He nodded back. Things are way easier when you can communicate without words. I moved towards the couch and Phil followed.
"Have a seat."
"HAVE A SEAT?!" Daisy moved towards us, "YOU JUST FUCKING TOLD US YOU BOTH HAVE A KID. OR HAD A KID. WE DIDN'T KNOW. NONE OF US, BUS KIDS DID. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN IF HILL DIDN'T SLIP UP."
"Daisy." Simmons placed her hand on Daisy's shoulder, "Cut them some slack. They would have told us when it was the right time." She looked towards us, "Right?"
"Right." Coulson replied as I nodded. We would have told them. Someday. But I wasn't gonna say No when Simmons has her 'serious' face on. She is scary.
"Do you guys want to know or are you just gonna get your anger out on me?" I looked at Daisy and slight raised an eyebrow.
Daisy groaned but sat on the couch armchair.
I took a deep breath and started, "We weren't together. We weren't supposed to do what we did. It was,-"
"A one night stand." Phil looked at me and nodded, "After a hard mission. A really hard mission."
"You all know what we 'did' so let's not say it. I found out I was pregnant after a mission in Canada. I knew who the father was. He didn't. I told him a month after that mission." I let out a short laugh, " You looked like I just told you I'm your future granddaughter." I looked at Phil.
"She was born 26 years ago, almost 27. Uhm, we were both on a mission in Haiti, it was an 084. We left her with my sister. The mission last longer than we thought it would. Someone, We don't know who, attacked where she had been. They murdered my sister and possibly our daughter. We never found out. I,-" his voice shook as he tried hard not to let tears drop. I placed a hand on his shoulder and nodded.
I looked at everybody else. Maria gave me a sympathetic look, Skye just stared at me in disbelief and FitzSimmons were looking at each other with confused faces.
I sighed and got up, I started walking towards the exit before being interrupted.
"Are you FUCKING serious?!" Andrew. I sighed.
"Andrew. Shut up."
I walked away from everybody else. I went straight to my bunk and let go. I let go of everything that was holding me together. I let a sob escape me as I let go.
I don't know how long I'd sat there or how long ago I dozed off but I woke up to Phil gently shaking me.
"Mel, it's me. Wake up."
I groaned.
"Time?"
"You walked out 5 hours ago. It's 11."
I sighed. Shit. "God. What happened?"
He moved so he could sit beside me and I could cuddle closer, "Daisy left after you. I don't know where. Maria told me to give you some time. FitzSimmons decided to go for a walk and I, -" he took a deep breath, "cried."
I let my head fall onto his shoulder, "Me too. It's just,-" I sighed, "I'm still not 100% emotionally."
He gave me a soft kiss on my head, "I know, me too." He whispered.
