OK guys chapter 2! I hope you enjoy it and please keep reviewing!! I am open to ideas and will see if I can fit them into the story.
After what happened with her first son it still hurt her thinking of being a mother. Especially as this baby was Mulder's son too. Scully had asked Mulder again about their names and they had agreed to call each other by their first names, even though she knew how much he hated it. They sat in silence together watching the sun come up. Neither of them had been able to sleep very well and ended up talking about old times and their new baby on the way. They then had to decide what they were going to that day.
"I think we should keep walking. If we don't we have no chance of getting noticed or figuring out what we are doing here and who called Skinner with this case. We could get up to the stones and you could try getting signal on your cell again." Dana suggested. They had tried numerous times to get signal to call Skinner but had never been successful.
"Well ok then, but are you sure that you are going to be ok? I mean are you sure you can walk that far at the moment?" Fox asked her.
"Yes I'm sure I will be fine if we just walk slowly and rest when I need to." Dana said knowing full well that she would not make him stop and she would probably walk faster than he usually would. She was fitter that he knew. What Fox didn't know was that for nine years Dana had been going to the gym after work when he had gone home to watch his porn films. She had mercilessly pounded the treadmill and pulled endlessly on her personal favourite the rowing machine. She let him think that he was fitter but in truth she would be able to withstand more exercise than he could.
"Ok then, if you're sure." He finally replied to her. So as they began walking neither one spoke- they were both lost hopelessly in their own thoughts.
After about three hours of waling in relative silence Dana started to sing under her breath. It was one of her favourite songs by a singer Fox had never heard of until Dana played him some songs. He thought the singer was all right but he preferred her when she was in her band Catatonia. Scully continued to almost hum the welsh accented words of Cerys Matthews.
Ruby it fills the sky
Southern lips on mine
I give in easily and don't ask why
She knew all the lyrics off by heart. Her father had played the songs to her when she was a child.
I couldn't sleep that night
I wandered down by the railway track
I ain't never coming back
"Sing Dana" Fox said. "Sing to me".
"No, I don't think so." Dana shied away.
"Why? It's not as if anyone is going to hear you!!" Fox swept his hand along the air to emphasize the situation.
"Ok then." She finally said grudgingly.
Put your arms around my neck
You're a dirty little insect
Make a bed upon the shore
You're too bad to ignore
And whatever you're here for
I'm not leaving I've got no place to go
I said I said I'm not from here
You said that much is clear
You left the door wide open for me
Vermillion taking over
I couldn't help but follow
you down, you laid me down by the water
Put your arms around my neck
You're a dirty little insect
Make a bed upon the shore
I've seen your type before bad to the bone
And we don't know which way the road will turn
But there'll be no stumbling
If we got no place to fall
"Wow…" Fox was speechless.
"Wow, what Fox?"
"That was brilliant! I can't believe my wife can sing like that!" Fox said.
"It wasn't that good I can't really sing." Dana said.
"Well that sounded pretty good to me!" Fox praised her little so when he did she accepted it very modestly. It still reasonably early and they estimated that it would only take them about an hour and a half to get to the stones from where they were.
"Man we're hungry…." Dana said to Fox.
"Well I have sunflower seeds, a packet of biscuits, a Twinkie and some other stuff." Fox remembered.
"And I have a big bottle of water. We could have at least a couple of relatively decent meals out of that," Dana said. They sat down and unpacked part of their makeshift meal. Dana pushed her hair, which had grown down to her shoulders, out of her face. As they ate something dawned on Dana. They could be stuck here with a baby on the way and no way of getting back home. They could die of hunger or something could attack them. Or worse, Something that she didn't know could happen. Although many people think of
Dana as fearless, she was scared of something. She was scared of not knowing. The thought of not being able to explain something in particular made her wonder what could happen and imagine lots of different possibilities.
Sorry its short but keep reading and I will update soon if I get enough reviews!!
