Skyeward separated

Chapter 4 (dont have a name so comment if you do)

Wards POV
What is she doing here? This girl is her kid? How did she get shot? I walked over to her bedside right next to Lexi and grabbed her hand. "Lexi, who did you say your dad is again?"

"Mommy told me she was forced to leave him before he knew about me. I wish I had a daddy, mommy doesn't get a lot of things because of me, last week mommy went three days without food I want to help her!"

This kid could be mine! Oh wow... I might have a little girl. "Lexi, how old are you?" It happened almost 5 years ago so if this kid is over 4 or under 3 then she's not mine.

"I just turned 4!" She said looking very proud of herself. Oh crap! I have a kid! I have a daughter! With Skye! Skye, I look back at her. Fighting for her life- if only we had given her a second chance she would be safe- I wouldn't have missed out all these years with my daughter and Skye would've never suffered if they would've cared more.

After a few minutes sitting in the room in shock, I walked out to the rest of the team. "Ward, what's wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost" fitz said as he stood up.

"S-S-Skye"

"What about Skye?" May stood and walked over to him

"Skye is Lexi's mom, and I, I'm her... I'm her dad"

Everyone stood there in shock. Until Simmons broke the silence. "How are you... oh. Did you know?"

"Do you think I knew? We should've given Skye a second chance! Lexi told me some stuff about her, she hasn't lived a very good life after she left us"

Just then, a young woman burst through the door of the waiting room and all but ran to the receptionist "I'm looking for a woman, her name is Skye she was brought in with two gun shot wounds to the stomach, she has a little four year old daughter"

"Yes ma'am she was but only family and agents are allowed to see her, are you any of those?"

"I'm the closest thing she has to a family besides Lexi, please!"

"All right, she's in room 210" with that the woman ran off. And I followed.

Once I got to the room I saw her holding Lexi on her lap and holding skye's hand crying. "Excuse me, if I may ask, who are you and how do you know skye?"

"I'm Hannah, and I pulled her out of a bad slump, gave her a purpose I suppose, when I met her she was living on the streets, eating out of trashcans, I gave her a job and we were friends for a couple months when she found out she was pregnant. She totally flipped she didn't know what to do but knew it wasn't right to have an abortion and couldn't put another child through the same thing she went through as a kid." She eyed him warily "I have no idea why I told you all that, but since I opened up I want to know who you are and how you know her, if you do."

"I'm agent Grant Ward, and I'm probably the reason she was in that slump, I was a part of her shield team and today I found out that I am also Lexi's biological father" he ran a hand through his hair and sighed deeply.

I'm gonna stay here tonight, it's the least I can do and I can get to know my daughter. "I'm gonna stay here tonight, I want to get to know Lucy more and I need to make sure skye is okay, it's my fault she's here anyway."

"Grant, skye has told me a lot about you, she loved you and if you blame yourself for this, she will be even more disappointed in herself, so for her sake and yours please don't. She completely blames herself for everything that's happened. I understand your need to spend time with Lexi, she's the most adorable sweet girl and has had a hard life. so if you get to know her, you need to stick around the only people who have stayed in her life are skye and I. I will personally hunt you down if you break this little girls heart." She said in a menacing tone motioning to Lexi. "As for sleeping here I don't care I you do but I'm staying also."

"I will try to stick around as much as possible, maybe skye will come back with us."

"That's doubtful, she has mentioned what she would do if she got her job back, it's been a few years since she mentioned, I think she gave up on that, but I think she'd say no. Her need to protect Lexi is bigger than anything she's ever wanted. I don't know if you know about skye's past, but she was moved from abusive home to abusive home, she doesn't want that for Lexi. And if you don't believe me on the abusive home thing." She pulled up the sleeve on skyes arm and saw multiple scars from what looked like a knife. "She's got it even worse in her back. That's why she always wears long sleeves shirts and pants, and makes sure her shirt NEVER rides up. She was afraid you would desert her like everyone else has done! Turns out she was right." I was left speechless after her little speech, the hard part was that she was right! We did desert her.

A couple hours later (no POV)
Ward, Hannah, and Lexi were all sleeping peacefully when they were woken by skye flatlining. Ward shot out of his chair and ran over to her and started doing CPR. Doctors and nurses filed into the room and shooed them out. They were left waiting to see if they would lose a mother, lose a friend, and lose a love. All in one night.

A/N
