As I look over the past twenty-five years, I can't help but smile at the memories of all Mulder and I have gone through. Mmany experiences still play replayover in my head quite often., Giving up my son for adoption is my biggest regret. after After the diagnosis of infertility and the loss of a daughter I knew for such a short time, I never thought that William would have been my future. and evenEven if I had known about what would transpire from the perfect human I perceive as my son, I would do it all over again. the The love I have for both of my children is everlasting, but yet right beside it is the pain if having neither one in my life. How after 17 seventeen years can I tell Mulder that our entire world is about to change? and howHow can I explain the impossibility of what is to come?

We have been to hell and walked through the flames. , tTogether we came out stronger every time, . Bbut what if this time one of us doesn't come out alive?. What will happen to Mulder if I am not here? , wWhat if I leave him with the most important part of me? Will he be able to manage on his own? What will happen to his mind if I leave him withnothing, no love, no son, and no partner? What will become of the man who owns my heart?

Our lives have been intertwined for the past 25 twenty-five years and in that time, we have gone from naive pawns in a great game of cat and mouse until we started to learn too much of what the masters had been doing behind the lines of fire. , tTo people who have been used and abused, but still we have always found our way back to each other. I can not go ahead with this without him., Nnot again., Tthis child William has shown me in our shared visions, is she or he really mine and Mulder's? Oor did I dream what I thought was a vision? As I stand here in the bathroom in the house that technically belongs to both Mulder and me, all I feel is pure anxiety and yet also hope for the possibility that maybe there is a baby growing within me., I know this is impossible, considering all that has happened the diagnosis from years ago, and yet once the timer goes off, I will find some evidence to this question of what is truly going on besides these visions I receive from William and the ones I hope he receives from me.

I don't know what I will say to Mulder if it is positive, what. What will he say to me? Will he stay or will he run? Does he even want a child with me? It's not like we thought that we had to be careful and take precautions for this to not happen. , eEven if we thought this was a possibility, would we have been sure to use protection to prevent this impossible situation? Will there be little pink bows or little toy cars? , Tthere is the most logical answer to this., I had a dream and nothing more. Tthere is no baby, and yet I stand here waiting for the test to finish to confirm or deny my hope that there may be a baby growing within me.

The timer goes off.

Crap! I am not ready to look at this.;'Ook Dana just flip the damn stick over'.

Turning the pregnancy test face up, the realization of the impossible situation hit Scully like a house of bricks., Tthe second Scully looked at the result, what she saw made the ground beneath her feet feel as though it had dropped out from underneath her. Sitting She sat on the floor with her legs crossed, one hand on her abdomen and the other holding the test.

"Sshit!" Scully had no idea what she was going to do or how she was going to tell Mulder., "Tthis could be menopause?" Scully got up and ran downstairs to the living room to find her cell phone. Flying through her contacts to, she found find Nurse Sandeep at Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital the short time between pressingand pressed the call button and the one ring before while she waited for her friend'ss' familiar voice to answer.

"Dr. Scully its been weeks, are you ok, how is your leave?"

"Maria, I've been good, I need to come see you but I can't explain why over the phone." Scully grabbed her purse, keys, and light black jacket from the hook by the front door.

"sure Sure Dana, where would you like to meet?"

After locking the door, Scully headed to her SUV and got in, . Aas soon as she closed the door, Scully instantly locked the vehicle. "Uum….. when I get to the hospital, I will call you." Scully started the car.,

"Okay,ok Dana sounds good. Hey, whatever it is, don't worry, just get here safe."

Scully procced to lock her seat belt in place, "Thank you, Maria." Scully hung up her phone and placed it in the cup holder next to her.

The During the entire drive into the city, Scully could not stop thinking about William and Emily., Wwhile she was pregnant with William, all Scully could think about was what little Emily's face would look like if she had the chance to tell Emily that she would be a big sister., Sshe would have been 24 twenty-four this year. Scully never let it show in front of Mulder, but she missed Emily every bit as much as she missed William., Tthey have always been her children, no matter where they were because you can't stop DNA doesn't lie and her kids are part of her. She still couldn't help but hope,s because they never did find Emily's body.y, Tthey had just buried an empty casket.

Scully still lookeds for Emily., Sshe even thought that she had seen her once., Tthe young girl looked just like her sister Mellissa, but with Scully's eye color and natural red hair. The girl couldn't have been more than twenty20, Mulder saw her too as they were in the frozen yogurt shop together one time. She knew that Mulder knew what she was thinking because she had squeezed his hand and her eyes were fixed on the girl sitting in front of the shop's window.

Instinctively, Mulder pulled Scully into his chest held her close before there was any chance of tears from his love. "I know my love, but it'ss not her,"r", he placed a kiss on her head as their order was put on the counter.

It had taken just over 45 forty-five minutes to reach the hospital., Scully loved living in the country, it felt like her childhood home, and the drive to and from work was her "alone" time. It was more like her times to sing as loud as she wanted to all her favorite music., Scully has was never never been able to carry a single tone, but she loved to sing any way.

Once she arrived, Scully stayed in the car with the windows up and doors locked and, she picked up her phone to dial Maria.

"Dana, are you here?"

"Yyes, what side of the hospital are you on?"

"Dday surgery, imI'm heading over to peds in thirty."

"Ccan you meet me in the alien room?"

"Aawe, you still remember the nickname,." Maria giggled a little.

"Bbest inside joke ever, and the kids loved it too."

"Yyes, they sure did., I can be there in five."

"ok Okay, see you soon,." Scully hung up the phone.

Before getting out of the car, Scully checked all her mirrors to make sure she it was safe to get out., Ifif she had trulywas truly been pregnant, she knew that being careful no matter what was the most important thing right now. Getting out, Scully instantly headed inside to the "alien" room which was really just where they used to do ultrasounds on kids, but it was relocated. A hospital bed and ultrasounds machine were kept there for emergenciey's.

Getting to the room took much less time than she had anticipated, but when she got there Maria was already waiting for her. As soon as Scully turned into the room, she was greeted with a smile and open arms ready to hug Scully. Eagerly, Scully closed the door and walked over to her friend allowing her body to sink into Maria's and let out a small whimperr.

"Dana, my friend what is the mater?" Maria sat them both down on to the bed.

"do Do you remember when we talked about my infertility and my son, William?" Ttears began to form in the corners of Scully's eyes.

"Yyes I do, what is this about?t."

"I took a pregnancy test…... and it could be my age… but the test, it was positive. I've been having pregnancy symptoms., Wwould you do an ultrasound to check? Please, I don't trust anyone else."

"Aabsolutely, let's get set up and have a look." Maria smiled at Scully who, whipped a tear from her face, then proceed to stand up and get the machine ready while Scully laid down on the bed. She gathered up her sweats shirt, then unbuttoned her jeans. The spaceships, stars, and aliens on the ceiling made her think about Mulder and how much she wished he was with her. By the time Scully gets got back to the house, Mulder would be home.

"ok Okay Dana, are you ready?"

Scully nodded to her friend.

The gel was relatively warm, but not pleasantly warm. , aAt first, there was nothing., Jjust empty space. Then there was a flutter., Iit looked like nothing until Marie angled the wand. Almost instantly, the room was filled with the sound of a heartbeat. The healthy heart beat of a 10-week old fetus., Scully counted the weeks in her head., Iit was the three days her and Mulder had spent out of town investigating the doppelganger case.

'T'ten weeks., Wwe talked about kids and then we..., and now I'm..., FUCK! How the hell am I going to tell Mulder? Oh my Ggod, it's a baby..., my baby, our baby. Mine and Mulder's baby!'

"Wwell would you look at that, Dana., Yyou have a healthy bud in there., 10 Ten weeks is what I would roughly guess,." Maria squinted at the screen.

"No,no you'rer right, 10 ten weeks."

"Ccongratulations my friend lets print you a could couple photos." Maria handed a towel to Scully, then proceed to flip through the images looking for the right one.

Thirty minutes' latter, Scully left the hospital., Sshe stopped at a small drug store too and bought but a bottle of prenatal vitamins and, a bottle of ginger ale along with a pair of green baby botties that had little black flying saucers on them and a pair of adult socks with the same pattern., Scully knew that Mulder would love this and it would have been the way that she would have told him about William, if only she was given the chance. After 45-60 minutes of singing Dixie Chicks and holding resting her left hand on her abdomen, she was cut short when her Bluee tooth began to buzz.

"Scully."

"Dana?"

Scully recognized the voice. It was the same one from her vision months ago, it was the woman who was like a sister to her all those years ago.

"Monica? Is that you?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. I wish this call was under better circumstances, but I don't have much time. It's about William."

Scully remembered Monica coming to her in her vision. She knew she was working with the smoking man. Though her motives had been unclear, she knew whatever it was Monica was doing was to help him. She knew it. One thing was clear though, their time before the virus was unleashed was coming faster than she expected. It filled her with dread. She was having a baby and the world was ending.

"What is it, Monica?" She asked as she pulled onto the lonely road that leads towards their house.

"They know where William is. You and Mulder need to get to him before they do."

A sense of dread settled over Scully as she turned to pull into the long road that leads towards their driveway. She was thankful that Mulder had the gate removed several years back when he was exonerated from the FBI. It saved her from having to get in and out of her car to open it each time she left and returned.

As she neared the house, she spotted Mulder's Mustang right in front. He was home and yet her plans to tell him about the baby would have to wait.

"Hold on Monica, I'm just pulling up to the house."

She pulled up next to Mulder's car and put the SUV into park before she ran up the stairs and into the house.

Mulder looked up at her expectantly as she rushed in urgently, phone in her hand, leaving him to wonder what was going on.

"Hold on, let me put you on speaker phone," she said.

Mulder sat up in his chair. "Who's on the phone?" he asked.

Scully turned the screen towards Mulder before setting it on his desk.

"This is Monica Reyes. I think they have got your son, William."

"Just tell me where he is, Monica," he said casually.

/

After Mulder rushed out the door Scully sat down at his desk and pulled the botties and socks out of the bag from the store. Mulder still had her poster in his office so Scully decided to place some of Mulder's heavy books just high enough in front of the poster so she could place the sonogram picture down with the booties holding the picture in place then put the socks unrolled and tags off side by side in front of the baby booties. Admiring her handy work Scully held her right hand over her abdomen.

Scully POV

Don't worry baby as soon as everything is over I will make sure your daddy sees this, I think it's going to be a bit before he comes home. But I promise that he is going love you just as much as I do if not more! I need you to keep growing and be healthy, please baby you have no idea how much we need you and want you.

Images began to flash into Scully's mind, images of a women with long red hair and bright hazel eyes and a beautiful smile on her face.

"Hi, mom."

"h…..hi?"

"its ok mom, the baby you carry will be perfect and completely healthy."

"how do you know this?" Scully placed both of her palms on her abdomen. "are you? Is this you?...can I walk over to you?"

"I'm sorry mom but I have to go, but you need to know that everything you deserve is coming and you will be happy with my father!" the women faded out of Scully's view.

Why do you both keep giving me cryptic messages? Shit, Every time!

Scully's stomach began to turn and she took off to the kitchen sink where she lost every ounce of the ginger ale and her breakfast. After cleaning up and drinking some water Scully decided to lay down for a bit.

Laying in the bed she had once shared with Mulder, Scully softly sang Jeremiah was a bullfrog until she fell asleep with her hands placed protectively over the little miracle growing within her.
