Conversations between Fitz, Jemma, and the team, set between seasons 5 & 6, toward the end of season 6, during their time on the Zephyr, and during and after the series finale.

Chapter 9 Snippet:

Enoch had planned to leave on a final, quick supply run two weeks before Alya’s due date, but then she’d been born two and a half weeks early. While they weren’t running dangerously low on supplies, they were definitely running low on variety.

Fitz hurried to the cargo bay, swiping a hand across his stinging eyes. He and Enoch made quick work of putting away the groceries, and he was assembling some cheese toasties for himself and Jemma when Enoch pulled what looked like a rolled-up piece of olive green cloth from one of the bags. “I nearly forgot. When I picked up the cables for the time drive, my contacts gave me this to give to my employees to congratulate them on the birth of their child.” He tilted his head. “Obviously they meant you and Jemma Simmons.”

“Obviously.” Fitz took the green cloth, which turned out to be a pair of baby pajamas patterned with little gray and white birds. Turning it over in his hands, he felt oddly unsettled by the otherwise innocuous and very cute pajamas. While Enoch could buy most of their supplies at stores and outposts on various planets, some of the things they needed—like cables compatible with a time-traveling device—were harder to find. So he’d had to find contacts who could find those things for him.

Summary: Missing scenes between Fitz and the team; Fitz and Jemma introduce Alya to their family.

Chapter 4 Snippet:

Alya was two and a half when she went on a nap strike. Jemma was positive that Alya was too young to stop napping altogether (despite her own admission that, according to her parents, she herself had stopped napping right after her second birthday; Fitz, on the other hand, remembered napping through nursery school). But after a week of forty-five-minute attempts to lull Alya to sleep for what ended up being twenty- or thirty-minute naps, Jemma gave up.

“At least until Enoch gets back,” she said with a sigh, picking up a determinedly bright-eyed Alya. Enoch was on a supply run for the next few days, but once he returned, maybe he would have better luck than either of them.

“We’ll just take her to the lab with us,” Fitz said, gathering up Alya’s toys (and a blanket and a pillow; while she’d never been the kind of kid to just fall asleep mid-play, there was a first time for everything, he reasoned). When he saw Jemma squeeze her eyes shut and rub her forehead, he paused. “You all right?”

“Yeah, just a headache,” she said lightly. “Too much time staring at a screen.”

“And not enough time sleeping,” Fitz said. You’d think taking shorter naps would mean that Alya would sleep better at night, but according to all their research (and they’d done a lot), that wasn’t how toddler brains worked. Instead, she’d been up two or three times a night for the past week.

Jemma brushed a hand over Alya’s hair. “Mmm, I suppose.”

With the toys, blanket, and pillow wedged between his elbow and his side, Fitz held out his hands to take Jemma from Alya. “Well, just because she doesn’t want a nap doesn’t mean you can’t take one.”

Jemma curled her arms around Alya more tightly. “But I’ve almost got those calculations figured out.” She’d been working on determining the precise degree to which the cryo-pod would need to lower May’s core temperature so that they could transfer her to the healing pod, but the calculations had been giving her more trouble than usual, probably due to interrupted and insufficient sleep.

Fitz raised his eyebrows. “And maybe after you sleep on it, you’ll have them figured out completely, yeah?” He held his hands out more insistently. “C’mon, we’ll be fine for a couple of hours. She can help me with Coulson.”
