Dana Scully - Season 5, Episode 7, "Emily:- "It begins where it ends, in nothingness. A nightmare born from deepest fears coming to me unguarded. Whispering images unlocked from time and distance. A soul unbound touched by others but never held, on a course charted by some unseen hand. The journey ahead promising no more than my past reflected back upon me, until at last I reach the end, facing a truth I could no longer deny. Alone, as ever."

Fox Mulder (in regards to Emily): No matter how much you love this girl, Scully; she's a miracle that wasn't meant to be.

Dana Scully had feared she'd never be a mother, but then one day, she met a sweet little girl. Her name was Emily. Her parents had been murdered. Not long after, Mulder and Scully were shocked to discover that little Emily had been adopted as an infant by her infertile parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sim. An even bigger shock arrived after they tested Emily's DNA. The child was a dead ringer for Scully's older sister Melissa. Haunting phone calls seemed to be coming from the great beyond from Scully's sister, begging for Scully to help little Emily. At first, Scully thought that maybe Melissa was the little girl's mom, but a DNA tested proved that without a doubt, Dana Scully was the child's mother.

"How could this have happened?" Scully asked Mulder in a state of shock.

"Scully, I didn't want to tell you this, but when you were abducted, someone removed your ova. The doctors stated that it will be a miracle if you ever get pregnant. I am so sorry," Mulder said gently.

"Then Emily, this sweet little girl IS a precious miracle," Scully said as she smiled at the beautiful little three-year-old.

"No matter how much you love this girl, Scully; she's a miracle that wasn't meant to be," Mulder warned.

"I don't understand how this happened or why, but I am going to take Emily home and love her. She's mine, Mulder," Scully vowed.

Scully went to the child with strawberry-blond hair to soothe her as she was so sad about the loss of adoptive parents. "Everything is going to be fine, Emily," Scully promised her little girl.

"I hope the judge will give you custody of Emily after he sees the DNA tests. This may be your one and only chance to be a mother," Mulder stated as he watched Scully comforting her daughter.

Scully took off the gold cross she wore on a chain around her neck and placed it over little Emily's head. "Don't cry, sweetie," she said. "This cross will protect you."

Emily clutched the little cross and smiled at Scully. She felt very safe and protected with Scully and Mulder. "Can I go home with you now?" Emily asked eagerly.

"Very soon... I promise," Scully said as she tenderly kissed the top of Emily's tiny head. She hoped that the judge would allow her custody of Emily since she was in fact the child's biological mother.

"Will you be my daddy?" Emily asked Mulder.

Mulder smiled at the adorable girl who looked so much like Scully. "I'd be honored to be your daddy, but -."

Scully cut him off. "Mulder and I... we're just friends, Emily. We aren't dating."

"Ohhh," little Emily said.

"You're nice... and I wanted YOU to be my daddy. Will you marry my mommy? PLEASE?" the little girl asked Mulder.

Looking at each other, slow smiles came to their faces. Scully and Mulder laughed softly. "I am afraid we work too much," Mulder spoke. "There isn't time for dating... or marriage."

"That's right, but now I am making time to be a mommy," said Scully as she held her little girl. "This child is the best thing that ever happened to me."

Knowing that Scully was so happy, Mulder couldn't wipe away the smile that had settled on his face. "Yes, you're a mommy now."

He stared at Scully, thinking motherhood looked good on her. He saw her in a way he had never seen her before. "Why are you looking at me that way?" she asked.

"Motherhood looks good on you, Scully," he said, longing in his voice. He too wanted in on the happiness Scully was sharing with her beautiful daughter.

*It's too bad I'm not the father,* he thought.
