When you get to the last part, picture Simmons as Emily, and Skye as Spencer. Aria is May, I guess.

When she awoke, Skye was sitting in the seat next to her on her laptop.

"My lord, you scared me!" Simmons yelled jumping a little.

"Sorry, just came to check up on you, plus there is great wifi connection down here."

Simmons rolled her eyes a little and looked down at Fitz.

She must have been staring for a while because Skye piped in.

"Hey, hey. Simmons. It'll be okay, he'll wake up soon."

She couldn't thank Skye anymore than she already has, but she was eternally grateful for her.

"I know, I just..what if he doesn't remember me? What if he doesn't remember what he said?"

Skye stopped typing and looked up, questioningly.

"What are you talking about? What did he say?"

Of course, Simmons knew the mistake she made. Only Ward knew what really happened down there.

"Oh nothing," she tried to change conversation but Skye wouldn't let her.

"No, what happened down there?"

As much as she wanted to keep this between them, she had no choice.

"We were down there and I was refusing to take the oxygen, and Fitz kept telling me there was no discussion and I was taking it."

She didn't want to finish because it hurt her heart too much but she was so far ahead, why stop now?

"I asked him why he was making me do this because he was my best friend in the whole world and," she paused, very hesitant to finish.

"He said that I was more than that but he couldn't find the courage to tell me so he wanted me to let him show me and, and I couldn't find the words to say."

Skye's jaw was open, but she was still so happy.

"Oh my god, he finally did it."

How many people knew this?! Was it that obvious? Was she just oblivious?

"Well, what did you say?" She asked, leaning forward.

"I, I couldn't find the words. It was all so sudden, so I started crying and sobbing and I hugged him so tight. Then, I kissed him. Not on the lips, of course, but enough to show meaning. I kissed his left cheek, then his temple, then his forehead, his other temple, his right cheek, and his jawline."

Skye was practically melting inside, she had been waiting for Fitzsimmons to come together for a long time.

"And then he pulled away, told me we had to hurry, gave me a reassuring smile, and pressed the button. I don't think I've screamed or cried harder in my life. But, I swam to the top, carrying him with me."

She wiped away the stray tears that we falling.

Simmons looked down at Fitz and smiled.

"He saved me."

Skye was practically a plate of hot cheese that had melted from being in the sun too long.

"Finally, now we need him to wake up so you can give him that proper kiss."

She gave Skye a smile and she returned back to her laptop.

Simmons, Skye, Coulson, May, and Tripp all stood next to Fitz's bed (with the exception of Simmons, who remained next to him.)

"Thank you guys for all coming down here, Fitz would be so happy if he knew."

She couldn't contain the smile on her face as they all joked about funny stuff Fitz had said and done.

Beeeeeeeeeeeep.

The heart monitor began to go wild and Simmons said a quiet, "No."

She looked up at the monitor and saw a flat green line and her heart dropped.

"No, Fitz. Fitz!" She screamed.

Coulson and Tripp ran out of the room to go notify the doctor and Jemma began to scream.

"Fitz!"

The tears came pouring down her face.

The doctor and 3 nurses came in and started up the heart defibrillator.

Skye grabbed Simmons and held her back.

"FITZ! NO! Please, Fitz! Please come back to me!"

Skye and May held Simmons back as she tried to run to him.

"Simmons, it's okay! Simmons, they'll fix this!"

Skye whispered in her ear.

Simmons had tears rolling down her face and she was sobbing more than ever.

"Wake up, Fitz! Please don't die on me! NO, FITZ!"

Skye began to sob just watching Simmons.

"Jemma! We'll fix this."

Coulson and Tripp were standing next to the doctors, yelling.

"Help him! Don't let him die!"

She noticed this and she let out a gut wrenching "no" before everything went black.

"Please come back to me Fitz, please don't leave me."

Okay guys. This was a crazy emotional one and I knew this was coming.

I planned on writing this for a long time, but could never find the correct words until tonight.

Jemma is completely heartbroken and the next chapter will be horrifying for her.
