Summary: What if a Dream was the beginning of a life once lost?

Sitting on the floor playing a game. It was always something to do. Stratego, was a game of skill. Looking up at the boy across from me and seeing him smile as he tries to beat me but never does. He gets up set about it. "Butt Munch, it's your turn." I tell him.

He makes his move and then it's my go. I move ahead and then there's a bright light in the room and everything shakes and falls off the wall. The lights go out but with the bright light we can still see. "FOX!" I yell and I am then paralyzed.

"SAMANTHA!" I hear him yell out at me but I can't talk now. I can't move to try and stay safe.

I jump up out of bed and realize it was a dream. I'm breathing heavily and I'm shaking. What was that dream about.

"Monica, are you ok?"

I look over at John and he's worried about me I can tell. "I…I don't know."

"Bad dream?" He rests his hand on my back.

"Something like that."

"Why where you yelling out?"

I look at him. "What did I say?"

"You yelled out FOX." He pauses. "Why would you be yelling Fox?"

"I don't know." I pause and take a deep breath. "It seemed so real."

"You want to talk about it?"

"I want to think this out first. Make some since out of it. Then we'll talk."

He nods at me and I lean forward and kiss him.

The next day at work I'm sitting at my desk and I glance over at Agent Scully. She's finishing up the last report. John left a few minutes ago to get some drinks. "Dana, can I ask you something?"

Looking up at me she gets a worried look on her face. "Um, sure."

"I had a very weird dream last night."

"Those happen to everyone Monica." "I know this Dana. This one seemed real. To real if you ask me."

"What was it about?"

I close my eyes for a moment. "I was sitting on the floor playing Stratego with this boy. He was to busy watching TV to play so I called him Butt Munch. Then there was a bright light and things where shaking and the lights went out. I yelled for Fox and then I was paralyzed and I heard him yell out for me." I look at her and her mouth is open and is staring at me.

"What did he call you?"

"Samantha." I tell her.

"Oh my god." She says more less in a whisper.

"What?"

"That's what happened when Mulder's sister was taken from their home."

"He has a sister?"

"Yes, she was taken when she was 8 years old."

"Why would I be having a dream like that then?" I ask her and I can tell she's thinking things through. "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking… you may be Samantha Mulder."

"That's impossible. I was born in Texas and raised in Mexico."

"But you where adopted."

"Yes. That doesn't mean I'm her."

"It may be. Would you mind If I did a DNA test to check?"

I shrug my shoulder. "I don't care. I know it's not true."

She stands up and looks at me. "Lets go and get this done with. I'm sure the lab wont mind running the test."

"NOW?"

"Yeah, why not?" "Ok, lets do it." I stand up and follow her to the lab. I sit in the chair as she takes some of my blood. I hold the cotton ball over the spot and bend my elbow to stop the bleeding. I watch as she walks over and does the tests herself. "How long will this be?"

"Most it will be is two hours. If your feeling ok you can return back to the office. My report is done just print it out. If anyone asks, I'm working on a case."

I nod and stand up and walk back to the office. When I return John is sitting there on the phone. I walk over and take the can of pop from his desk and open it up, taking a sip.

A few hours later I get a phone call. "Hello?" I pause as they talk. "Of course. I'll be right there." I hang up the phone and John stands up. "It's for me. Scully asked if I could um, take her a drink down to the lab. I'll be back." I smile at him and he sits back down.

I arrive at the lab and hand her a drink so I wasn't lying to John. She's looking at me but takes the drink. "So?" I ask her.

"Well, shows you are Samantha."

"My name is Monica."

"Yeah, now. But the DNA matches. You are Mulder's sister."

I close my eyes and bit my lip. How could this be happening. "Really?"

"Yeah. But there was also something else."

"I'm not an alien am I?" I hear her laugh and I look at her.

"No, but you are pregnant. Congratulations."

Now it's my turn to look at her in shock. "But, we weren't running a test on that. How'd that come up?"

"It's with all the tests we do. It turned up when I went to match so I ran it and you are."

"Oh god." I say and smile. John may be happy about that part. "Now what? I mean do we tell Mulder, will I be known as his sister, do I change my name back to Samantha or do I stay with Monica?"

"Probably stay with Monica. You grow up with that name. You know it. And, I'll talk to Mulder, ask him what he'd do if he found his sister. Things like that and then we'll tell him."

"Sounds good." I sigh.

"You going to tell John tonight?"

I look at her with a confused look on my face. How would she know about us? We've kept it a secret from everyone. "You know about us?"

"How can I not? The way you two look at one another. It's clear."

I smile at her and we both head back to the office. I walk over to John and even though we're at work I lean down and kiss him. "We need to talk later."

"Ok, I'm not in trouble am I?"

"No, of course not."

"Good to know."

Later that night John and I are sitting on the couch and I turn and look at him. "Um, Scully ran some test today, and it just happen to come back that I'm…" I trail off and look at him.

"That your what?"

"I'm pregnant John."

He gets a big smile on his face and hugs me. "Oh my god! MONICA!" He pulls back some and kisses me. "Really? We're going to have a child?"

I didn't think he'd be this happy over it. "Yes." I smile. Now the only thing I can think of is what Scully is talking to Mulder about. Will he take it well or totally hate it? How will John take it when he learns I'm Mulder's sister?
