Georgetown Medical

5:45pm

Fox paced around the waitingroom eyeing all of the nurses around him. Nobody would give him a straight answer about Dana or her baby. He siged and sat down in the chair putting his hand over his face and groaning. He sat and thought..what was he doing here? I really had no right to be here I mean its not like he was with her anymore..Tom should be here with her and their baby. He grimmiced at that thought. Just as he was getting lost in his thoughts he herd his name.

"Mulder?" Fox looked up and say Dana's roommate Carrie he smiled a little and she smiled back. "What are you doing here?" She sat down next to him. Fox looked at her and slumped back.

"I was in the resturant where Dana collapsed...I talked to the EMT's and they told me they were bringing her here..I just wanted to make sure she was okay...they they were okay." He nodded. Carrie smiled and stood up and motioned for him to come with her. He got up and followed her down the long hallway untill they reached room 207. Fox looked in and saw Dana sleeping peacefully in her bed hooked up to a heart monitor and various machines. Carrie stood there and crossed her arms raising her eyebrow and he looked over at her.

"Everythings okay...She just became stressed...basicaly the stress she was going threw caused her uterin lining to tear...that cause pain and she eventually blacked out. Thank god for the man who called her in if she was out there any longer she might have lost the baby." Carrie said watching him. He nodded and put his fand over his mouth and shook his head shifting in place.

"I just can't believe he isn't here to make sure she is okay." Carrie raised and eyebrow and stepped closer.

"Who?" He looked at her and sighed.

"Tom, I saw him saunter out of a bar drunk of his ass, and when I told him about Dana he just shrugged it off..so I punched him." He said biting his finger nail. Carrie looked at him confused.

"Why would you expect Tom to be here? Please that jack-ass wouldnt care about anything that happened to Dana unless somehow it furthered his career." She said rolling her eyes, now it was Fox that looked at her confused.

"Carrie...he's the father he told me ..well in not so many words, he implied it more or less.." He looked back into Dana's room and saw her move now able to see the more visible bump."I know that if my child and girlfriend was in danger you can sure as hell belive I would be there. No question about it." Carrie watched him debating in her head if she should tell him the secret Dana has been trying to hide for so long. She musterd up the courage and figured Dana will just beat her sencless later but she couldnt see this man go threw anymore distress over her.

"Mulder...Tom isn't the father of Dana's baby....why he insinuated that to you ..is just sick "..She shook her head glancing at Dana then coming face to face with his gaze. " Tom found out she didn't want anyone to know..she has been hiding for some stupid reason ...something along the lines of not wating to mess up .....your career." She said slowly watching his eyes widen.

"Wait?...MY career? that would mean...I...her.." He silenced staring at her then looking at Dana. Carrie reached out and put her hand on his arm and nodded.

"She's going to kick my ass I am sure of that but..I know its killing her inside..and I can't see you being put threw anymore lies you deserve more then that.." He looked at her with a pained expression. "She found out the night after you came over...the night you both called it quits because it was a one night thing..."

"Wait so she knew when ...when I went to see her at work ? And she didn't sayanything?!" Fox clenched his fists and took 3 steps backing up from Carrie mumbling something shaking his head. Carrie looked at him and tried to reach for him but he was out of her grasp.

"Mulder...she was scared I'm sure if you both..just talk tell her you know ..then " He looked at her and turned cutting her off. "Wait!! Mulder where are you going?" He stopped for a moment turning looking over his shouder.

" She's getting her wish...she didn't want me around its obvious...now I won't be." Carrie's eyes widened and she ran up to him.

"NO thats not what she wants I am sure believe me.." He glared at her and turned to face her.

"Carrie..think abou it..That night I DID not come to break it off with her..I came to actually ask to see her again..to take her on a real date..I couldnt get her out of my god damn head and I still can't I TRIED..She wants to have her secrets and lies then she can have them the way she wants them.. I ..I can't do this Carrie...I can't Im in too deep and this is cutting like a knife.. I mean ..my kid shes carrying my baby and she ...she couldn't .....I ....." He shook his head and continued to walk down the hallway. Carrie sighed and called out.

"Mulder!!..Don't let it end this way...dont let it end because she is to proud...she cant lie to you ...she cant she thinks about you all the time I know she does...she tells that baby about you .." He shook his head and walked out the double doors . Carrie stood there watching the doors shut and sighed covering her face with her hands then running them threw her hair. She turned ready to walk back into Dana's room. She stepped in side and saw a sleepy Dana turn and smile looking at her.

"Carrie? Who were you talking to out there?" Carrie threw on a smile and walked up to her.

"No one...just a guy asking for directions to another room..." Dana smiled and Carrie put her hand over Dana's and smiled back. " just a proud daddy.." Carrie Nodded.
