Hello folks! Let me apologise for the time it took me to give you this new chapter.
Life is getting a bit out of control these days but I promise you all that I intend of finishing this story.
Take care and enjoy!

« You know we can't do this. It's too risky, too dangerous for you both out there. »
« Let's just leave the country. What about Canada? We've always wanted to go there. Or Europe! Let's get the hell out of here, » she said, only wishing for one thing: a positive answer.
Mulder could hear Scully's despair in her voice. She meant every word, she actually wanted to leave with him and the baby. She was ready to leave it all behind them so they could finally live happily, away from all the darkness surrounding them.
« What about your mother? You could not do that to her, you know it, Dana. »
« She'd understand. She could even join us, one day. Or go to California to be near Bill and Tara. She knew I'd be safe with you. That we'd be safe with you. »
« But what if I am as dangerous as I think I am? I could not accept anything happening to you. It's impossible. No- No we can't do that. »
« Don't do that to me, please. I can't live like this anymore. »
Being the man he was, Mulder knew better. Right now, the man knew Scully would do anything to make him change his mind so they would leave all together. But that would not happen. It was way too dangerous and, right now, she was just driven by her emotions. Nothing else. She was such a strong woman, she could do anything.
Well decided on making Scully change her mind, Mulder took a deep breath and put both his hands on her shoulders.
« Do you remember our first case together? »
Not understanding where he was going with this, Scully simply nodded while trying to fight back her new tears. She was so fed up of crying.
« When you arrived in my room that night to check on your back because of those mosquito bites, I fell in love with you. That's all it took me. You, trusting me enough to get into my room half naked so I could check on you. Dana, you have no idea what you did to me. I am not the same man thanks to you. Even when I lose it completely, you bring me back because that's what you do. You save me. Damn, you saved me so many times I cannot count them. Today, I need you to let me save you, do you understand? »
