Skye pov.

I sat in Stone's room, still in that awful wheelchair, the next day, after my fight with Brody. Ever since that moment I felt as if a great weight was lifted off my shoulders. I didn't have to worry with Brody or hiding anything from anyone anymore when it came to him. I could focus on my family again.

Stone laid in my arms, my arm once in a sling now out and freely moving more and more with pt. The child was currently sleeping and I was just enjoying feeling him breath against me. I smiled down at the boy who twitched every so often. He must of been having a dream.

The door opened and a certain blond haired blue eyed boy entered the room.

"Hey," I whispered smiling up to him. He nodded back at me closing the door back.

"How is he?" Mac questioned in a hushed tone as well.

"Well he's sleeping so that's good," I replied. There was this strange tension in the room. It was between Mac and I and I did not like it.

"Hey Skye," Mac shoved his hands into his pockets and walked a bit closer to me, "I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

I was hopeful that Mac has sensed the tension as well and that he was finally going to do something about it before I even had the chance to. So I straightened myself and listened closely.

"This whole you and me thing," he began, "I've just been thinking. Just because Stone is back in our lives doesn't mean we have to be together."

I just stared back at him trying to find the words.

"Mac," I sighed trying to formulate a sentence but he was quick to cut me off.

"You don't have to say anything ok. I think it's just important that we find happiness, even if it's not with each other," he looked at me seriously and that was it. I was defeated.

I hadn't heard him mention Nasha anymore and I wasn't sure if they were still a thing or not. But after that comment made by Mac I knew they must me. He didn't know that I'd just broke it off with Brody and I wasn't going to tell him now. Because at the end of the day his happiness was more important to me then my own.

So I just nodded to the boy standing before me. In return he gave a soft smile and then he went back out the door.

I didn't say anything else. I just looked down at my baby boy and smiled because I had him back. But that smile was soon gone as the slight twitching he had previously been doing became violent and harsher.






Mac pov.

I didn't mean a word I said to Skye. But I needed her to know that all I cared about was her being happy and if Brody was that for her then so be it. I left her in that room with our son prepared to go to the lab to take my mind off of everything. But I was quickly stopped by the sounds of Skye's screams for help.

I, along with all nearby nurses, burst through the door to see her holding our boy just as before only this time he was violently shaking in her arms and Skye had a terrified look on her face.

"What happened?" I asked watching the nurses pry Stone from the girl's arms.

"I- I don't know," she cried shaking in fear herself.

"He's having withdrawals," one of the nurses said to us.

Withdrawals? Then it hit me.

"It's the KX7," I said back then I ran from the room. I found myself sprinting all around the Phoenix building until I got to the lab.

"Hey Mac," Bozer looked at me with a smile when I entered but I didn't answer. And the urgency on my face told him I didn't have the time. I grabbed the syringe from the cooler cabinet that I had been working on and ran back to the medical wing were Stone was.

"Here!" I gave the nurse the syringe seeing as Stone's condition was only getting worse.

"What is that?" Skye questioned leaning as close as she could.

"KX7," I replied out of breath.

"Mr. Macgyver," the nurse holding the syringe looked at him unsure, "this is not how we do things. We can't just give the child more drugs."

"Until we know more about this drug and how to separate him from it we don't have a choice," I shot back. She looked at me sternly for only a second more before injecting Stone with the liquid. We watched and waited and after a short time the boy calmed. His breathing began to steady and he drifted into a peaceful slumber.

"I expect you won't make me have to do that again," the nurse shoved her finger into my chest as she went to exit the room. I sighed watching Skye hold our child once more, looking at him with concern.

"I cannot believe you didn't tell me," she said angrily through tears, "you've been making KX7?!"

"What's going on in here?" Jack asked as he and Bozer along with Riley and Matty entered the room with alarm.

"I think I know why Walsh gave Stone back so willingly," I confessed with a deep breath looking at everyone, "he knew that Stone had become dependent on KX7. He knew that we'd be forced to produce it ourselves to keep him alive."

"Wait but Walsh already perfected it," Bozer ruffled his eyebrows at me, "I mean if he hadn't then Stone would be dead. Why does he want you to make more?"

"Because he didn't perfect it," my dad walked into the room with a stern look, "the fact that Stone has become so dependent on it and constantly requires more proves there are flaws in it."

"So he gave our son back to force you to make the perfect KX7?" Skye questioned. All I could do was nod in my shocked state. I was going to kill Walsh for what he'd done to my boy.

Author's Note:

Oh my gosh I am so incredibly sorry it took me so long to get this to y'all. I had a lot going on and some major things that it took me longer to deal with than I expected. And it didn't help that the past three weeks I had no motivation from new episodes.

But I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. Things are about to get exciting again!

How do y'all feel about Mac and Skye not being together? It's pretty hard to keep writing with them apart but it is all for the greater good of the story.

Much love y'all!
