Part Two My Struggles Four "Survival Instinct"
Mulder and Scully decided to drive on over to the hospital in Norfork, Virginia to visit Walter Skinner. The doctors had given him a good chance to live. Dr. Andrews a bone specialist was able to repair his right leg with the main bone and other areas having been crushed.
He would have to stay in the hospital until his doctor decided to transfer him back to Washington, D.C. Memorial hospital to recover there or a rehab center.
Fox Mulder was driving instead of Scully in spite of her being tired from the entire episode with her son William/Jackson. Along with the fact she is now carrying another child this time belonging to Mulder.
Though it does sadden her that Mulder wasn't the father to William. Instead of an experiment devised by CSM 17 years ago. She wants to cry so badly, however she can't at this time. She doesn't feel anything right now accept sadness for Fox Mulder.
Making a turn on the side road to head down towards the hospital. Mulder looks behind him to make sure no one would be tailing him and Scully. "What's wrong Mulder?" Scully looks over at him with concern in her tone.
"Just worried about someone following us. And besides I don't expect to see William show up. He's probably long gone by now, and I doubt he will ever want to associate with me ever again. In spite the fact he tried to protect me in that motel room."
She touches his shoulder to feel his connection to her. "I know Fox. But there is nothing more we can do at this point. And no doubt Kersh probably will be closing up the X Files now that CSM is dead and Skinner injured very badly. "
"Maybe Not on the aspect that Kersh will close the X Files. I still have sources that will help me with trying to keep the basement still opened. You forget Scully, we have a number of evidence against Kersh for which will change his mind all together."
"And what is it doesn't work Mulder?" Scully had a feeling she was asking the wrong question. She had a feeling for when it comes to Kersh. There are a number of high class officials are interested in seeing him dead all together. No doubt Fox Mulder is one of them.
"Believe Scully It will work. And what ever else happens. We will still be a part of the X files and the F.B.I." Mulder says with confidence in the way he was handling himself.
Arriving at the hospital and getting there passes from the security guard at the late hour.
The both agents taking the elevator to the eight floor and ICU. They were given permission to visit A.D. Walter Skinner. They were told by the supervising nurse that he was finally awake after coming out from surgery to repair some of the internal injuries to have him some what stable.
Walking down to his private room of ICU. Mulder and Scully walked in without having to knock on the door. Scully grabbed a chair from the back of the room near the window. While Fox Mulder decided to stand after being in the car.
Skinner in a slow tone with his voice. His eyes were wide open now. The only difference he wasn't wearing his bifocals having been badly damage in the crash.
"I see you both made it back alive. Did CSM get away again from your grips Mulder?" He asked in a sorrow way with his question.
"Nope! He's dead Skinner. I shot him for real this time around. He finally had his last of the nine lives." Mulder said to him and Scully having to be shaking her head in disbelief.
"Scully, why don't you believe it? Just like you finding out your going to be having another baby."
When he heard this by Mulder. Skinner was totally shocked by what was happening in front of him. "How is it possible Dana?" Skinner say it with her first name. The last time was when the aliens tried to kill everyone with the deadly virus.
"To answer both questions. I have no idea other than the fact I am fertile once again, as with Mulder to have his sperm take hold on that night in the motel I assume. " She smiles as with Mulder. Even though Skinner's reaction remain neutral...
"Well in this case everyone. It's survival at the fittest for the most part. Just like with your son William." Skinner says in a low tone.
