Hey,... af1011 asked for a 2 shot sequel. I'm not sure how that goes, but I managed (a product of going overboard) to write a sequel with 5 parts. Is that right? mandy wanted to know many women Ward is going to sleep with. Me too, actually. Most of you wanted a sponge bath. I'm afraid that one, you have to dream one on your own. Sorry.

It was along time ago that I did multi-chapters, let's hope I'll post it right. Also, I have to salute all you writers who writes multi-chapters and different stories at the same time. I side-tracked many times with this one. I keep forgetting that Skye is not supposed to be out of bed yet. That's why I call it my Recovery series.

WARNING : I tried but I just couldn't avoid the topic of Ward and you know who. I had no choice but to include their..er... whatever... to make this ff work. I hope it works. And as much as I tried I can't avoid not touching on epi 15.

Summary : Ward and Skye talked. Really talked.

The Dream : Ward and his brother.

"Bro! Hey! Wake up! You're dreaming."

"Joey?" Ward blinked and rubbed his eyes upon seeing the man before him.

"Yup, it's me. Your baby brother, Joey Jonathan Ward. But I swear I'm gonna kick your ass if you call me Baby JJ, Granton."

"No one calls me that except Grampsy. But how - ? Aren't you - ?"

"Just because you don't come here anymore or call, doesn't mean I'm dead."

"Where am I?"

"Are you on something? Because if you are, I am going to have the utmost pleasure of nagging your ear off on the misuse of drugs. Just like you did me."

"Joey," Ward reached out to grab his brother's arm. "Where am I?"

"My place. You were banging and rambling at the door. This is a quiet neighborhood and people here don't take kindly to rowdy outsiders." Joey handed Ward a mug of coffee. "That must have been some dream, Bro. Who is Skye?"

"How, do you - "

"You were calling her name. Yelling, more like it." Joey sat across his elder brother with his own mug in his hand. "So, who is Skye? Your girlfriend?"

Ward shook his head as he stared into the mug.

"Come on Grant. With that kind of lost puppy expression, she is something to you, isn't she?"

"She doesn't know," Ward placed the hot mug on the side table and covered his face with his hands. "I screwed up."

"Let me guess," Joey smirked as he leaned back on his chair and placed his right ankle on his left knee. "You love her. She betrayed you. You humped another girl. You almost lost her. You humped another girl. And this one managed to shake you into admitting your feelings for Skye."

"How do you know all this?"

"Never mind that. But look here," Joey stretched his foot out and kicked Ward's foot to gain his brother's attention. "I'm no angel. But just how many other women are you planning to sleep with before you do something about what you have with Skye?

"You are not waiting for her to be the last woman on earth before you finally make your move are you?" Joey chuckled and shook his head. "Because, that my dear Brother, is not going to happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Skye will never be the last woman because technically she might not be a woman. Or even human. She is an 0-8-4."

"What?! How do you know?"

"And after that alien based serum that you guys injected into her, who knows what she might turn into?"

"Joey what the hell are you talking about?" Ward rose from his seat and towered over his brother.

"You gotta wake up Bro." Joey rose and stood nose to nose with Ward. "Soon your Skye and that Coulson guy are going to run away together. They have something in common. They will be in it together."

"Skye and Coulson?" Ward stammered. "What - "

"I gotta go." Joey gave Ward a quick body slam before walking towards the door. "Don't forget to visit. And please, don't bring me flowers. I'm a guy."

"Joe - "

"Tell her Ward." Joey opened the door and turned to Ward with suddenly sadden eyes. "Tell Skye how you feel. You need to."

"Wait! Joey wait!" Ward started for his brother but he was rooted to the ground. "Joey!"

"Tell her before it's too late, Grant." Joey told him before he closed the door between them.

"JOEY!"
