Melinda: *Drinks tea*

Daisy: *Drinks tea*

Melinda: *Uses a laminated dried flower as a bookmark*

Jemma: *Uses a laminated dried flower as a bookmark*

Melinda: *Eats dark chocolate covered Reese’s*

Fitz: *Eats dark chocolate covered Reese’s*

Phil: You know, the kids like to do a lot of the things you do 

Melinda: *Raises her eye brow in question*

Phil: Daisy who never drinks tea started to drink tea ever since you started training her. Jemma who uses sticky notes instead of a bookmark started to use a laminated dried flower one that’s suspiciously similar to yours. Fitz who doesn’t even like peanut butter, started to request for the same dark chocolate Reese’s that you eat in the grocery list after your speech sessions with him. 

Melinda: Maybe they wanted to try something new

Phil: Or maybe they want to be closer to you *Smiles and walks away*

Melinda: *Blinks and thinks about that for a second* Hmm

*The next day*

Melinda: *Makes an extra cup of tea in Daisy’s cup and leaves it on the table*

Daisy: :OOOOOOO

Melinda: *Puts a laminated bookmark of Jemma’s favourite flower in the book Jemma is reading*

Jemma: *Gasps* Oh 🥺

Melinda: *Leaves a bag of dark chocolate covered Reese’s on Fitz’s table*

Fitz: *Scratches his head with a soft smile* 

*Later in the day*

Phil: Softie *Smirk*

S1 Melinda: I'm just here to keep an eye on Coulson and nothing else

*See bus kids with no field training no experience and don't know how to fend for themselves*

*Undercover training in a chocolate convention*

Melinda: Alright we are going to blend in with this crowd. Everyone ready?

Bus kids: Yes ma'am!

*2 secs later*

Bus kids: *Shoving as much chocolate in their mouths as possible*

Fitz: *Taking shots after shots of hot chocolate samples*

Daisy: CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG–

Phil through the coms: To be fair, we should have seen this one coming.

Post @maos2013 Ashley’s ANGST for Lauren @herosofmarvelanddc and myself because T3T

After the car accident Melinda thought she couldn't do it.

No, not thought.

She know she couldn't.

The universe said so.

Why else would it give her a chance only to take it all away when she was so close to being a mother.

No. She couldn’t do it.

But she had Phil.

Phil who is optimistic and kind and loving. Phil who believes in her even after everything. He might not know what happened but she doubt he would care. He would never gave up on her. Maybe... No. she won’t think about that.

And then she joined him on the bus.

And Fitz and Jemma and Skye came along.

The bus kids, these 3 genius children with zero combat training, who can not defend themselves, have to go out in the field for the mission. 

Dammit Phil, she didn’t want to care but she didn’t want to lose them. 

She can’t. 

Not if she can help it. 

Not when Skye reminded her so much of herself.

She can’t see them get hurt. She had to make sure of it.

She didn't think she was their mother.

Hell Fitzsimmons have their own mothers and it’s not like the 5 of them are a family.

But then they would get into trouble and they would look to her for help.

They would go to her for comfort even though no one goes to her for comfort.

They would pull pranks and annoy each other like children do and they would look guilty when she looked at them with disapproval, as if she was their mother. But she wasn’t. Not in the traditional sense anyways. But she can protect them and take care of them. She can be there when they need her. 

And maybe that was enough.
