Skye came back to consciousness feeling strange. Last time she remembered her and Ward had been lying in the fading sunlight beside the lake. She had felt strangely tired and had allowed sleep to take her, enjoying being close to Grant. He was a good heat source and cuddling him always made her feel happy. Now she had a kicking headache and a bright light shining in her eyes. She was no longer by the lake that was for certain. She didn't think she was back in the room either; whatever she was lying on was way too hard. It felt like she was lying on stone. There was no Grant beside her either. Where was he?

"Skye?"

She heard her name being spoken and began to look around. Panicking she looked around, she was no longer in the castle. Grant wasn't with her.

"Grant!" She cried.

She felt somebody take her hand and concentrated on what they were saying.

"It's all right Skye. He is right beside you. It's Fitzsimmons. It's ok. You'll be a bit disorientated but it will soon pass. Just relax. You are all right, you are safe."

Skye concentrated on the voice and recognised it was Simmons talking. She knew that Ward would be safe. Simmons was terrible at lying but there was no sign of that in her voice. Knowing Ward was safe, she lay back, closing her eyes in the hope it would help her pounding head.


Once they had both been cleared by Simmons they headed back to the bus so both sides of the story could be told. For Skye and Ward it meant leaving out certain parts, but hopefully the team wouldn't pick up on that.

Ward glanced around the bus, surprised at how much he had missed it. The pounding in his head and finally reduced and Simmons had assured him it was just a side effect of the machine they had been in.

Waking up had been a bit of a surprise. Thankfully May and Coulson were beside him when he woke. He was concerned about Skye, but May had assured him she was fine and being looked after Fitzsimmons. There wasn't anybody better to look after her, so he had relaxed and let May look after him until he was ready to be brought out of the machine totally.

Simmons had just finished explaining the machine, what it did and why they had such headaches.

"So our consciousnesses were put into somebody else's body? But why when we looked at each other did we look like our normal selves?" He asked. Nobody had managed to explain that yet. Everything else was believable but that was just weird.

"Well that is the potential. In the future the technology could be available to send your mind back into the past, but for now it was just into a pocket world. As to why you could see each other as you normally are I would theorise that it is the machine's doing. You were both hooked up to the same machine so it showed you what you expected to see. How did you released you weren't in your own bodies?"

"Mirrors." He replied.

"Well mirrors are used to show you what is in front of you so that makes sense, I suppose. Though I don't suppose that mirrors in medieval times were that good." Spoke Simmons frowning slightly.

"How did you know we were in medieval times?" Skye puzzled.

"Oh this book was found with the machines. It has a history from medieval times so I assumed that was the reality you were placed in." Simmons held up the book she was talking about.

"I bet the tournament parts were fun."

"Yeah its just as well Ward didn't take part, especially after what you told us about the machine. It could have killed him. But anyway can I have a look at that book?"

Simmons passed the book over to Skye with a nod.

"I still owe you for stopping that tournament, rookie."

She smiled at him before returning to look through the book.

"Do you have any idea who did this sir?" He asked turning to Coulson.

"No unfortunately. I was hoping you would remember something about how you were captured. There has been no evidence found unfortunately."

"Last we both remembered we were in New York and then we woke up in medieval times. So it isn't much help." Ward frowned wishing he could remember more.

"Never mind. You are both back safe, which is all that matters. We'll keep investigating and hopefully will learn more. Now you are out of the machine, Fitzsimmons can examine it more."

Coulson smiled at the two younger members of the team before leaving for his office. Fitzsimmons quickly left to go examine the new toy they had. He hand never seen them so excited over technology. Having spent some time in it he couldn't really drum up any excitement for it. But then he had never been that interested in new technology. May had left to go and train while they had free time. Which left him alone with his rookie. Although he had disliked being in the machine he had to say it had brought him closer to her, closer than he had ever expected. For that he was grateful, but he never wanted to go back in it ever again. He liked being in current times.

Glancing over at Skye he was about to ask if she wanted a drink but noticed the frown on her face.

"Something wrong?"

"Come and look at this." She beckoned.

Standing behind her he looked at the page she was pointing to. It showed a picture that was familiar, of Lady Isabel and her husband, painted standing beside their castle. Bending down slightly further he read the passage beside the picture.

"Historians are still baffled over the incident at the castle above. A scheduled tournament was stopped due to a fire destroying the area. Surprising enough it was thought that a woman set the fire, which is out of character of the woman of the time. Ok so? I guess they just put that in the reality?"

"Keep reading." She murmured still looking at the book.

"To add to the mystery of the area, a newly wed couple are recorded with loosing memory of approximately a week at the time, having no knowledge of events that passed even though others in the castle said they were at the events."

Ward still wasn't sure what she was upset about until he looked at the picture of the couple mentioned. It was them. Well the people they had seen in the mirror. Oh God!

"Simmons said with the technology it wasn't possible to send someone's mind back in the past yet." He said looking at her confusedly.

"Apparently she was wrong. We went back into the past."

"We'd better tell her."

"You may want to read the rest of that chapter before you decide to tell her. It could mean some interesting explanations as we would have to show them the whole chapter to explain how we know we were sent into the past."

Ward looked down again and began reading out loud, wondering what she was talking about.

"Interestingly enough it is also around this time that it is believed the wife became pregnant. Strange that she cannot remember the conception of her child. Historians still have no explanation of what happened here and may never do unless time travel is invented. …..

Oh god we got her pregnant!"

Skye smiled at his exclamation, moving closer to him.

"Yep. Oops. Still want to tell Simmons?" She grinned.

Shaking his head and laughing he replied,

"NO. I don't have a death wish and have no desire to explain what happened at the lake. It's not like it is going to hurt anybody if she doesn't know."

"Good. Now as everyone is busy how about we replay what happened at the lake in your bunk. After all we are back in our own bodies now. I don't want to end up like her though. I'm way to young to become a mum." Skye pointed to the picture in the book, while grinning up at him.

Bending down he pressed a kiss against her lips before gathering her up in his arms. As he strode towards his bunk he spoke,

"I think I can deal with that."

Fin.


So there we are for this one. Hope you liked it. I know a lot of people wanted Skye to be pregnant but I couldn't do that to her yet. I just had the idea back when I started it how funny it would be for them to unintentionally get someone else pregnant. Anyway I will be writing another part to this, I'm thinking of doing another two parts to this, though they will be as separate stories. I'll hopefully have the first chapter up soon. Try and guess where they will end up next. The rest of the team will be more involved in the future. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this, it makes my day.
