Mulder sat anxiously in the waiting of the hospital. A gash covered his forehead and stitches were visible. He held his left arm in a sling due to the fact that he had broken his ulna and fractured his radius. Although it seems Mulder had been through hell, it was nothing compared to what Scully had endured. He wished it was him who was bed ridden, machinery breathing for him, wires and tubes hanging off of his body, but it was, it was Scully.

It had been five hours since Mulder and Scully had been air lifted from Fort Nelson, Canada where the site of the accident occurred. Tears lined his cheekbones; he couldn't lose her, not just after starting his life with her again. He was becoming used to loneliness in the waiting area just outside Scully's room until Maggie finally showed up. Maggie was staring at the heartbroken Mulder sitting fragile in the chair a few feet from her.

"Oh Fox, is it true, it can't be can it, not another Coma?" Maggie asked staring at Mulder who looked up shocked at Maggie walking slowly over to him.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Scully, it's all my fault, it's all my fault that Scully's in a coma, it's all my fault" Mulder said looking at Mrs. Scully now sitting on a chair next to him. This time he wasn't crying, he couldn't, he was in shock.

"Fox, don't blame yourself for an accident, the roads where icy and you lost control, you can't blame yourself" Maggie comforted Mulder. "You know Fox, Dana loves you so much and I myself have grown fond of you as a son-in-law, you have always been there for Scully from day one and now I'm proud to call you my son".

"Thank you Mrs. Scully" Mulder forced a wilful smile towards his soon to be mother-in-law.

"Call me Maggie" Maggie insisted.

Mulder dipped his head in guilt as he recollected the event which has happened to lead up to this very moment. The doctor who had been working on Scully left her room and walked over to Mulder. Mulder jumped to his and shook hands with the doctor.

"How is she, is she alright, what's wrong with her, why haven't I been able to see her?"

"You must be the husband?" The doctor asked.

"Fiancé" Mulder corrected him.

"Well we have Ms. Scully stabilised but we have put her in an endued coma to help her body deal with what happened"

"Which is what exactly?" Mulder asked.

"Well she has broken her left femur and radius whilst cracking a few ribs and puncturing a lung, we've operated on her as best we could, but I'm afraid to say, she's lost the baby.

"The baby?" Mulder asked with a questioning tone.

"As far as we can tell she was six weeks gone, you did know she was pregnant, didn't you?" the doctors asked growing ever more concerned with telling Mulder something he didn't already know.

"No?" Mulder simply stated, questioning the authenticity of the news.

"I'm sorry to tell you under these circumstances without being told by your partner first" doctor sincerely said showing his sympathy.

Mulder looked up at the doctor in more disbelief then shock. How could Scully have kept this a secret from him?

'Maybe she didn't know about the baby' Mulder thought to himself, trying to brighten up such a dismal and bleak scenario into a lighter, happier one, one he could accept.

Maybe she couldn't trust me, maybe it wasn't mine, if it was mine I'm sure she would have told me about our miracle child.

Whether she knew or not, Mulder knew either way she would be crushed after finding out she had lost her last shot of having a child after giving up William. Mulder couldn't stand it any longer, he needed to be close to his Scully, feel her soft hair beneath his fingers or her soft fingers entwined in his. The doctor finally left Mulder and Maggie alone, Mulder placed his elbows on his knees and buried his head in his hands.

"How can I be so stupid! Mulder asked hitting his forehead with the heel of his hand.

"Fox, stop it, how could you know if she didn't tell you?" Maggie franticly tried restraining Mulders hand from hitting himself into the next universe. Maggie at this moment had started crying because she knew how much her daughter wanted another chance to have a baby, especially with Mulder.

Mulder stared into Maggie's eyes, inside he could see Scully staring back him and so broke down into tears, he sought Maggie as a source of comfort and cried silently into her arms.

A nurse came out of Scully's room and started walking over to Mulder, the tears subsided and he sat twiddling his thumbs waiting for permission to see Scully.

"Mr. Mulder, you can see Ms. Scully now" the nurse said giving Mulder a little nod.

Mulders eyes lit up as he was finally allowed to see Scully after so long of waiting in the dark. He stood up and followed the nurse into Scully's room; the rhythmic beat of the heart monitor was the only sound which echoed throughout the dismal lifeless hospital room.

"We've taken her off life support but she still had quite weak vitals" The nurse stated.

"Can she hear me?" Mulder asked looking at the nurse due to the fact he was unsure.

"I believe they can hear us, others might think its ridiculous but it helps us come to terms with ourselves and makes us feel more comfortable, just do what you feel is right, I'll be back in ten minutes to check on Ms. Scully".

A half smile exchanged between the nurse and Mulder and with that the nurse the left and Mulder stood alone in the room, Scully playing on his heartstrings. Mulder pulled up a chair beside Scully's bed, he looked at her small body engulfed in a large hospital bed, wires and tubes sticking out of her body, the sight alone turned Mulder breathless. Mulder finally sat down, leant forward and grabbed Scully's ice cold hand.

"Hello Scully, it's me. I don't know if you can hear me but just know I'm here and I'm not leaving your side ever again, I'm sorry what happened, it was all my fault but just to say, I love you. No matter what has happened or will happen in the future, I will always love you." He leant forward and kissed Scully's hand and reluctantly pulled away from her. He stared at her angelic features highlighted by the bland room; it was either a figment of his imagination but he could swear he could see a tear slowly move down Scully's cheek as he spoke to her. He stood up and leant to her forehead, letting his lips linger before moving them and wiping her tear away from her cheek. He leant down to her ear and whispered.

"I love you, come back to me, I can't lose both of you" tears strolled down his cheeks and he placed a peck on Scully's cold lifeless lips and took a seat in the chair behind him awaiting the time Scully would gain consciousness.
