Category: Scully/Krycek, Mulder/Scully
Rating: PG-13 (implied sex)
Spoilers: Requiem, Ascension
Keywords: None
Summary: At the hospital, Scully writes an entry in her journal,
explaining the night of her child's conception and how it came to be.
She also mourns Mulder's disappearance.

Disclaimer: Alex Krycek, Dana Scully, Fox Mulder, Walter Skinner, etc.
belong to Chris Carter and 1013 Productions.

Author's Notes: After watching season seven's finale, many viewers were
puzzled with Scully's rather abrupt discovery of being pregnant.
Several questions popped up in my mind. Who's the father? How did this
happen when we believed that Scully was barren from the result of her
abduction? There is also Mulder's disappearance for Scully to deal
with. How does Scully feel knowing Mulder is gone and may never come
back?


Journal Entry Date: May 23, 2000

Dear Diary:

I know I have not written in this journal of mine for quite some time
but I have been extremely busy. I regret not being able to write in
this journal. I find myself in desperate need of remembering those
good times in my life. My life has gone down an unknown path and I
wish there was a way to find peace in all this chaos. My partner and
best friend has been taken away and I am shocked to think he will never
return. Losing Mulder was as if a part of my soul had died. He meant
more to me than anyone else in the world. His overwhelming dedication
to finding his sister was stronger than any emotion known to mankind.
We have had our good times as well as our bad times. He was my
soulmate. My lifeline. My rock. I know you are out there, Mulder. And
I will not rest until you are brought home. Safe and sound.

There is also something else that has happened recently. Something
totally unexpected. I never thought this would happen to me. Didn't
think it was possible. Especially after what was done to me. But it
happened and I don't know how to explain this so I'm just going to
blurt it out. I'm pregnant. There's a little life growing inside of me.
I was so overjoyed when I found out. But the action itself is something
I still can't comprehend. The baby's father is not who Skinner would
automatically assume to be. If anyone ever found out the baby's true
father, it would be a disaster. The father is... Alex Krycek. The man
accused of every crime, especially murder. Yet what we did together
was so breathtaking that I cannot believe it was actually him. I never
thought Krycek, --or the name I screamed out: Alex--, could be so
gentle. The way his lips caressed mine. How his hands and mouth loved
every inch of my body, making me crazed with lust. His tenderness in
taking me, allowing me to be the first to explode with pleasure while
he followed suit. Even if it was a one night stand, Alex Krycek was
the greatest lover I have ever had. I will remember and treasure our
night together for the rest of my life. Should I let the truth be
known to others that Alex Krycek is the real father of my baby? I
better leave that decision for tomorrow when I think more clearly. I
think a goodnight's sleep will make me better adjusted for all this.

Goodnight, journal. Goodnight, Mulder. Goodnight my little darling.
Goodnight, Alex.

Love,

Dana

The End
