Prologue
Mulder and Scully stood outside a church. It was warm, the sun shining and making everything look beautiful. The perfect day for a wedding. They stood holding hands, facing each other, Scully in a gorgeous white dress with straps that fell off her shoulders and pearls on the body. Mulder wore a black suit, with a white silk tie to match Scully's dress. They each said "I do" before they kissed and Mulder scooped Scully up and carried her to the car, simply because he loved her.
Scully was stood on a deserted beach, toes in the water. she saw herself holding Emily's hand, smiling. wearing a short black dress, she walked slowly along the beach as gentle waves rushed to shore. Emily wore a black dress also, and looked up at Scully, her eyes shining. Suddenly they both stopped. They were watching another girl standing by the water. Her hair was brown, with an almost red shine in the sunlight and she was fourteen or fifteen. She looked like Emily, with the same icy eyes. Her long black dress fluttered in the breeze, her brown hair catching the light and flowing out behind her. As she turned to look, her piercing blue eyes were sad. She looked out at the ocean and Scully followed her gaze. As a huge wave built, both her and Emily fell to the ground as the water rushed over Scully. She couldn't breathe, she was drowning and she couldn't save Emily. The last thing she saw was the blue of the ocean, and the black material of the dress Emily had been wearing. She heard Krycek's voice say 'You can't always get what you want'
Scully woke with a start, sitting up in her bed and leaning her head on the cold wall. She looked at her clock, it was almost time to get up. Giving up on sleep, she left Mulder in bed while she started to get ready.
She showered and put on a bit of make-up, putting on her FBI clothes for the first time in what seemed like a lifetime. This routine was so familiar to her, except for the one thing that had changed. She wore a ring on her finger. A diamond wedding ring. Standing for a moment, she remembered that night when he had taken her to the beach and when he got down on one knee all she could do is nod and cry.
In a daze, she found herself in court. She had been fighting to get William back since his parents died last week. She argued about how she had a safe job, how she was his Mother. By the end of the hearing she was in tears and the Judge called another meeting in a month. He said that was the date the decision would be made, and it couldn't possibly be sooner.
She sat quietly in the car, only speaking when Mulder announced Skinner was on the phone. Apparently he had rung them late last night and asked them to do a case, but Mulder failed to tell Scully and forgot all about it. Skinner was not pleased, but let it go once they agreed to request the case which had as of yesterday been an official X-file.
