The Nanny - Chapter 5

It's been almost a year since I've posted. Wow. Let's just say that this hiatus has been brutal, especially for us Philinda fans, and it hasn't been easy to write fluff, even for me! But since it seems like AU is all we can cling to in this depressing time, here's a new chapter to one of my favorite fics I've written. My plans for this fic always make me happy, even when canon is hurting us beyond belief. I really hope you enjoy this and are able to feel a little bit of happiness from reading it!

THANK YOU to my unfailing beta, Liz. I love you so much, girl. And thank you to all of you SO SO MUCH for all of your absolutely wonderful comments you've already left on this fic!!

This chapter is dedicated to my favorite Mama Bear, Melinda May, and the person who no doubt is a huge reason why I love Phil Coulson so much, Julie Coulson. Happy Mother's Day to these mothers, and to all you wonderful mothers as well!

Also on AO3.

“What are you drawing, Mr. Phil?” Daisy peeked over his shoulder curiously.

“Hang on, you’ll know in one...second...there.” Phil looked at her and grinned proudly. “It’s been a while since I’ve tried to draw it, but I think I did pretty well!”

It was late, the setting sun spilled golden light into the playroom as they sat together in comfortable silence. Daisy had been restless and missing her mom more acutely today, so Phil suggested she try and make a drawing for her before they got ready for dinner. She agreed and immediately pulled out her art supplies. Phil had been working on a list of needs for a cupcake order for a bit before he decided he may as well try his hand with the markers as well.

Daisy’s head tilted to the side as she examined his drawing. “You made a plate with a star?”

Phil’s mouth dropped open, offended. “That’s Captain America’s shield. The best superhero mankind has ever known! Are you telling me you’ve never seen Captain America?”

The Nanny - Chapter 4

You all are so amazing for being patient with this story. Slowly but surely it’s being written and posted! I so hope you all are enjoying this fluff piece. I know I love writing it, and I am so encouraged by all your comments! Thank you so, SO much!!

Thank you, of course, to @philinda​, for always being there to read my drafts! I love you.

“I have an SUV, you really think it's a good idea to whip right in front of me, lady in the tiny car?” Phil muttered darkly to himself, finger tapping on the steering wheel in frustration as he applied the brakes...again .

Phil had been a full time history teacher for a few years after college, and still worked as a substitute every now and then when he could. He had many fond memories of his students and the content he taught, but pretty much everyone could agree that public school teaching wasn't for the faint of heart. He'd dealt with many challenges as a teacher that helped him grow and mature over the years.

However, nothing he’d learned during his teaching career prepared him for the utter vexation of a primary school car loop.

About the “I Love You” scene

Okay, so. There’s some things that I’d like to comment and if I don’t write it somewhere I’m probably gonna explode.

First of all, I really appreciate the fact that before May talked about herself, she said “people that love you”. She didn’t say names in here, but she was talking mostly about Daisy. Don’t @ me. The philindaisy fam is real. This whole discussion was basically mom and dad fighting and we all know that.

Second: Phil kept trying to interrupt. May was 100% right in this whole conversation, and Phil insisted on trying to defend himself, to the point where Melinda had to practically tell him to shut up. Even so, he did not give up… and I’m kind of curious to know what he was going to say the last time she interrupted him (it certainly wasn’t better than her CONFESSION, but I’m still curious about it).

Third: The way she said it. Damn, I love that she was so angry and so emotional at the same time. She didn’t break. She didn’t seem vulnerable, at all. She is so damn sure about her feelings, you could see it all over her face. It’s one of the most solid love confessions I have ever seen, and the fact that it came from Melinda May, who suppressed her feelings for years is even more awesome. She didn’t need Radcliffe telling her to forget about honor or duty this time, she did it all by herself and there was not an inch of doubt about saying it out loud. No hesitation, not at all. She went straing on point, looking him in the eye. I loved that certainty in a way that I don’t think I can express with words.

Fourth: She actually shut him up. And I do have a lot to say about this. Startinh with: WHAT AN ICONIC PHRASE. Damn it. I actually screamed when she said it, but, anyway, moving on: I love that she didn’t expect to hear it back. It’s that old thing: she didn’t say it to hear it back, she said it to make sure that he knew. And she actually knew that he was oblivious to it. Well, maybe not 100% oblivious, but his reaction showed that he wasn’t even close as being sure about it. And she knows him so well that she was aware he would be shocked. Better: she knew that it was the only way to make him shut up and actually question his actions and decisions. Maybe that’s why she didn’t have a doubt about putting there out in the open like that.

Also, can we please talk about the fact that Phil FROZE? Like, he literally just stood there, frozen still, facing her like an idiot. He was so shocked he wasn’t able to say that he loved her back. He wasn’t able to kiss her. HELL, he wasn’t able to MOVE. The man is so in love with her that I bet his brain fried and his heart melt right there. I love Clark Gregg, from the bottom of my heart, but sometimes I get frustrated with some of his reactions while playing Coulson, and let me tell you: that wasn’t the case. It was far from it. Clark’s acting was perfect, the amout of emotion his eyes carried? Damn it, I’m still admiring the gifsets. And don’t even get me started on Ming’s acting because it was simply flawless. Nothing to say besides that.

I read somewhere (I think it was here in this very website) that the fact that we didn’t see Coulson after that scene probably meant that he was still there, frozen, looking at the same spot Melinda had preciously been. And I have to say, I’m all here for it.

That’s it, guys. If anyone took their time to read this, thank you a lot for keeping up with my freak outs! Love ya <3

You’re being irresponsible. You said you weren’t in a hurry to die, but you’re not acting like it. So this isn’t so much about my stupidity as it is about me dying. Seems like one thing led to the other. You realize this isn’t easy for me? But I’ve accepted it. Which is the problem.

May finally expressing her love to Phil was one of the most satisfying moments of last night’s episode. Who am I kidding, the episode was filled with loads great moments(I screamed at the moment that Fitz told Yo-Yo that no gets left behind. that’s the Fitz I know!). This is moment has been longgggg overdue and I’m glad its finally sealed into the series.
