Emily 2

A week passed and I still haven't worked up the courage to talk to the women; I have observed her, both with my eyes and my mind, every day this week. But I now at least remembered her name: Dana Scully. Now if only I could remember the man's name. I was leaving in a few days to get William and bring him back here, but first I needed my money. I hopped a bus to DC and went into the bank; I closed my accounts, both checking and savings and took my quarter of a million dollars and left. I walked to the bus station and bought a Greyhound ticket to Wyoming, to William.

1,553 miles later I arrived in Wyoming. There was a small farm about five miles away from the bus stop. Just outside the gate to the property there was a small pond used by the wildlife. I crouched by the water and said his name like I had done the previous week.

"William."

"Emily"

"Did you sweep the area for Hybrids?"

"Yes Emily I did. We are clear for at least a 5 mile circle."

"OK Will. Jeez; you look like your 5, act like your 10, talk like an adult; but you are only 9."

"Not my fault I am small."

"No your right. Back on topic please. Do you want to come back with me?"

"Yes. These people are nice and they love me, but they are not my parents. I want my real mom and dad."

"I thought that you would say that. Now we just need to figure a way to get you legally out; I'm not kidnapping you."

"Foster Care!" Both William and I exclaim at the same time.

"Okay now when you get into the system I can make you disappear. But the hard part is getting you in the system in the first place."

"I already have a plan. Wait until I contact you."

"Got it. Talk later."

Five days passed and I spent my time practicing speeches I could give Dana Scully when I saw her. Finally I was washing my face on the sixth day when the water in my sink flashed the ice-blue of William's eyes. And his face came to me in the water of the sink.

"Emily."

"William."

"I am in a social worker's office about to be sent to a foster home."

"Good I am coming. Stall her; I'll be there in five minutes." I ended the contact and hurried to get dressed and put my contacts in. Five minutes later I was walking into the CPS building.

William was sitting near the entrance waiting for me. He saw me and headed my way. I quietly turned around and left the building. We walked a block away from the building then hailed a cab to take us back to the hotel I was sleeping in.

"Do we want to stay here another night or see if there is a bus heading east?" I asked him as he sat down on one of the twin beds in the room.

"You're in charge Em."

"We leave tomorrow then. Get some rest."

"Have you talked to her yet Em?"

"No I have no idea what to say to her. I mean it's not like I can just walk up to her and say: 'Hey ma'am I am the daughter you thought died. Well I'm not dead, I have powers and I've brought you your biological son who also has powers. And we need help to live normally.' Yea like that would go over well Will."

"Maybe you can tell her that. I mean use different words but catch her when she is leaving the hospital. Or wait. Can you listen to her thoughts now?"

"Yeah. After the first two days I could slide into her thoughts without thinking about it. It has been the same even here. Distance doesn't seem to matter; like with you and me."

"Can you dig through her memories?"

"Yea, it takes me awhile because I don't want her to feel me."

"Make memories of yourself as a child appear in her head and do the same for me."

"I don't need to for you; you're always on her mind. She regrets having to give you up, but she couldn't protect you." I do as he suggests and find it's easier than I thought. Images of me as a three year old are near the forefront of her mind. I start slowly by bringing up my name. Today that is enough; tomorrow I will do more."

I laid down on the other twin bed and try to get some sleep.

Two days later I am back at the hospital with William. I want to observe Dana for a few more days. William focuses on the other people around while I focus of Dana. I have decided to talk to her tomorrow as she heads home. Though I still have no clue about what to say to her. But for my sake and William's sake, I need to speak to her. We need our mother. I want a mother.

I let myself dig up memories in Dana Scully; memories of myself as a three year old. I can see its affecting her. I need to talk to her soon. I return to the hotel with William.

"I'll talk to her tomorrow, Liam. As she is leaving for the night. I am just going to come right out and introduce us. If she doesn't believe me; I'll let her take some blood to run. Will you let her take some from you to, Liam?"

"Yes."

"Good. Get some sleep." He lays down on one of the beds as I take the other. Soon we are both asleep.

The next day finds us back at the hospital, both of us carrying a small bag with our belongings. We don't have much. About a week's worth of clothes, and extra pair of shoes and a couple books for each of us. And in mine I had all of my money and our paperwork. We are both extra vigilant today, and I bring no memories of me to Dana Scully's mind.

She still seems different, her thoughts bring me and Liam up on her own. Finally she heads into her office to pack up and head home. I grab Liam's hand and we make our way to her car. We wait near her car and I turn to Liam.

"When she gets close run into her; so I can start a conversation."

"Got it." Just then the doors to the garage open and Dana Scully steps out. She walks towards us and when she gets three or four feet away Liam runs off towards her. He ends up bowling her over.

I run up to both of them yelling. "Liam! There is no need to run." Then turning towards her I say in a softer voice: "I am sorry. Are you alright?"

"Yes I am fine." I help her stand up and grab her briefcase.

"Do you work here?" I decide to play dumb.

"Yes I do. I'm Dr. Scully."

"Dana Scully?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Ok so I am really nervous about this so I am just going to say it; even if you don't believe us. My name is Emily Sim and this is William Fox Scully."

As I finish speaking all the blood drains out of her face. She swayed and I grabbed her.

"I am willing to submit to blood tests to prove my identity." The thought of having concrete proof seemed to snap her out of it. She stood up straight and some color returned to her face.

"Come on then." She turned around and led us back into the main part of the hospital. As we walked Liam's voice came into my head. You're not going to tell her about our powers? I replied back to him in the same way. No. Let her get the proof of who we are before we tell her what we are.

She led us back into her office. She shut the door leading to another Doc's office and locked it. She then left the room and returned a few minutes later with supplies to take blood. She placed them on her desk and rolled up her sleeves. She took a vial of her own blood, sealed it and labeled it. She then turned to me. I sat down in a chair and held my arm out for her to take my blood. After she finished labeling mine Liam held out his arm, so she took his blood too.

"How long until you get the results back?" I asked her

"Two days."

"Then we will return in two days' time. Come on Liam lets go get some stuff." Liam grabbed my hand and we left. We took a taxi to a Goodwill where we both bought a coat. Liam's was a blue heavy parka and mine was a dark brown leather coat that looked like it came from Banana Republic. We also bought a pair of winter boots each. Then we paid for our stuff and took another taxi back to the hotel.

We stayed there for the next day and half of the following day. Finally it was time to return to the hospital.
