All Skye had wanted was a moment’s peace alone where she could digest all that she had just learned.
"I’m part alien…" She murmured to herself as though she were still trying to convince herself that it was all real.
"Skye, are you okay?" a soft familiar voice asked from the direction of the lab as she sat up from where she was sitting in Lola.
"I can’t say that I am, Jemma. Whatever I might be." She said, not meaning to sound as harsh as she probably did.
"You’re you, Skye and that’s all that we are ever going to ask you to be." Jemma attempted to reassure her as she climbed into the car beside of Skye.
"Jem, I’m not even human. I’m still astounded that you guys are willing to let me stay." Skye scoffed, not wanting to reveal the unshed tears in her eyes.
“Do you still have such little faith in us as that?” Jemma asked in surprise that this is what was bothering her friend. “We’ve told you time and time again that you are our family. Nothing is going to change that. We love you… I love you, Skye.” Jemma confessed, her heart suddenly picking up speed as she looked at her heart reassuringly cupping Skye’s knee before meeting Skye’s glistening eyes.
"Even though I’m…you would still want me? I don’t even know who I am anymore." Skye asked, seeming shell-shocked by the doctor’s words.
"I will want you for as long as you’re Skye and alien or no you are still the Skye that I have always cared about."
Skye suddenly let the tears fall as she closed the distance between their mouths and their lips met.
“Tell me you love me again.” Skye whispered, her insecurities making themselves known.
"I love you, Skye. I will love you as long as my heart beats."
"Tell me you want me." She whispered.
"I will want you for as long as I am able to breathe." This time Jemma initiated the kiss as she leaned across Coulson’s car and kissed Skye with all of the passion she could muster. Her hands explored the lean body underneath her, Jemma’s cool fingers leaving trails of sparks in their wake. If Skye’s AC were to ever find out what had occurred in his precious Lola that night, she might actually get sent off of the plane as she had feared.
