Scully woke up the next day still in Mulder's bed. As she turned over to where Mulder lay the night before she found it to be empty except for the note left on his pillow.
Scully
I've gone to question Billy Miles again will be back this afternoon.

As Scully finished reading the note a wave of nauseous came over and she ran to the bathroom just making it in time.
While wiping her mouth on the flannel Scully sat on the bath trying to decipher why she was feeling so ill. Suddenly she dropped the flannel to the floor as she put her hands to her mouth in shock. I couldn't be? she thought No it's impossible. I couldn't be….pregnant!...could I? The symptoms did add up but Scully was unconvinced, she needed proof so she went back to her own room to get changed before heading to the chemist in town.
When Scully came back from the chemist she immediately went into bathroom to use the test. Minutes later Scully sat there staring at the test as the second line appeared confirming what she thought - she was pregnant. Scully was still unconvinced. I'm barren she thought the test must be faulty. So she headed back out to the chemist for more tests.
Later Scully came out of the bathroom for the countless number of times that day just as Mulder came through the door.
"Mulder!"
"Hi Scully, sorry I did knock but there was no answer. How are you feeling?"
Scully shot a look over Mulder's shoulder at the empty boxes and used tests that where spread strewed across her bed. Shit she thought this was not how I envisaged telling Mulder about his impending fatherhood.
"Scully?" said Mulder in a concerned tone as Scully looked up at him "I said are you ok?"
"I'm -" Before Scully could say fine the alarm on her watch bleeped informing her she was pregnant for the 6th time that day. Scully looked down at the test in her hand then looked back at Mulder who was also looking at the test in her hand.
"Scully is that?" asked Mulder as he lifted Scully's hand clad test result to eye level for a closer look.
"Yes" replied Scully as she looked at Mulder trying to gage is reaction.
"Your pregnant?!" exclaimed Mulder studying the test "but you're barren, you can't have children."
"That's what I thought but my symptoms all indicated otherwise. Then it occurred to me that I only got conformation from one doctor that I was barren so maybe he was wrong with his diagnosis. I still didn't think it could be true - I needed proof so I did a test" replied Scully.
"Are you sure? How reliable are these things?" asked Mulder looking at the test again.
"Well I'd say 6 positive results out of 6 is pretty reliable" said Scully indicating to the other tests on the bed.
"Wow Scully that's great news!" replied Mulder embracing Scully in a hug "how do you feel about it?"
"Well if I'm honest - shocked" said Scully "I resigned myself to the fact I couldn't have children. How about you?"
"I'm so happy for you Scully, you'll be a great Mom."
"Thanks Mulder, I think you'll be a great Dad too" replied Scully.
"What?!" said Mulder pulling away from Scully in shock.
"I said you'll be a great Dad" replied Scully smiling at Mulder.
"I'm the father?!"
"Mulder you're the only person I've slept with recently, who else did you think was the Father? Skinner?!" replied Scully with a raised eyebrow and a slight smile on her face.
"Me a Dad!" laughed Mulder as he hugged Scully with a huge smile forming on his face. "Wait a minute….Skinner? Scully is there something you need to tell me?"
Scully just shook her head to say no as she laughed at Mulder.
