Chapter 50
Holy wow. 50 chapters.

"Simmons," Skye called out as she sat on the couch.
"What's up?" Simmons looked up at her friend as she sat beside her.
"I can already see my baby bump starting. I thought I wasn't supposed to be showing yet," Skye said, eyebrows furrowed.
"You're not," Simmons confirmed.
Skye pointed to her stomach and raised an eyebrow.
Simmons looked closer. "You can barely see it. I only know it's there because I know you're pregnant. Would it make you feel better if we did another ultrasound?"
Skye nodded. "It would, actually."
"Alright, let's go to the lab," Simmons stood up, placing her tablet on the couch. Skye followed suit and they made their way down the stairs and in to the lab.
Skye hopped up on to the table and pulled her shirt up slightly. Simmons applied the gel and started up the ultrasound machine. She moved the wand and then gasped. "Oh my."
"What? What is it?" Skye asked, slightly panicking that something was wrong with her baby.
"Well..."
"Please just tell me. What's wrong with my baby?" Skye asked.
"Well that's the thing," Simmons explained, "it's more like...babies."
Skye's eyes widened almost comically. "Are you telling me that I'm having twins?"
Simmons nodded, turning the screen to face Skye. "That's exactly what I'm telling you." She pointed to the screen. "There's one," she shifted her finger, "and there's the other one."
Skye took a deep breath. "Wow. Okay, this is a lot to process." She held up a finger. "Give me a second." After a brief moment, Skye shook her head. "Okay, I'm good. Twins? Really?" she asked with a tiny smile on her face.
"Would I lie about this?" Simmons asked, laughing.
"No, you're right," Skye replied.
Simmons turned off the machine and wiped the gel off of Skye and the wand.
Skye sat up, fixing her shirt. "This is crazy. I need to go tell Grant." She stood up and made her way towards the lab doors. She turned her head to look at her friend. "Thanks, Simmons."
She then walked up the stairs to the lounge where the whole team was. She walked over to Ward and sat down beside him. "I have something big to tell you."
He looked at her with a concerned expression displayed across his face. "Is something wrong?"
Skye absentmindedly laid a hand on her, still very flat, stomach. "Not exactly. I just received some news."
"About the baby?" he asked.
"Babies," she corrected.
Ward paused, blinking twice. "You're having twins?"
Skye grinned, nodding. "I am."
"Congratulations," Coulson smiled from his seat on the couch next to the couple.
"Yeah, congratulations," May nodded, letting the corner of her mouth quirk up in to a smile.
"Thanks, guys," Skye smiled, moving her head to rest it on Ward's shoulder. She then looked up at Ward. "What's for lunch?"
Ward chuckled. "Already hungry?"
She gave him an expression that silently told him, 'duh.' "I'm eating for three," she defended.
He rolled his eyes and smiled, standing up from the couch. He offered a hand and Skye took it, standing up. He lead her to the kitchen. "Grilled cheese okay?"
"Perfect," she grinned.
He pulled out a pan and put the sandwich in the pan, cooking it until it was golden brown. Once it had finished, he handed it to Skye.
She took a bite and grinned in satisfaction. "I don't know how you do it. This is amazing. I knew there was a reason I married you. How do you make it taste this good?"
Ward smirked. "Secret recipe. Will not disclose."
Skye looked affronted. "I'm your wife!"
Ward shrugged. "Sorry, but the secret recipe is only known to a few."
Skye rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine. I'll get it out of you one day."
"Impossible," he smirked, putting the dishes in the sink.
"Oh, just you wait. Maybe I'll get one of our kids to do it. I can already tell that you'll be wrapped around their fingers."
