Government Patst you rock :)
Scully stood looking over the medical records for abductees from Oregon and was shocked at what they revealed about them.
"This just cant be" A pain staking feeling entered Scully's heart and soul.
"What are you looking at?" Frohike asked wandering over and staring at Scully, alarm bells began to siren as he saw the distress in Scully's eyes.
Scully took a deep breath. "Medical records, Billy Miles and other known abductees from Bellefleur, Oregon. They all experienced anomalous brain activity".
"Electrosuferlitic trauma"
Scully's heart began to pound at the thought. "Which is exactly what Mulder experienced earlier this year.
"I don't understand" Frohike added.
"There was something out there in that field; it knocked me back, because it didn't want me. Mulder thinks it's me that is in danger of being taken"
"When its Mulder who's in danger"
Mulder, you cant go, you can't leave me alone. These past few weeks have been spectacular, without you there is nothing to live for, you make my life complete. Mulder if anything happens to you, I will never forgive myself for letting you got to Oregon without me. Scully's brain was working into overload, the last thing she saw was Frohike, Byers and Langley gathered over her and the she blacked out.
"I think she's waking up, call the nurse" Frohike was leaning over the bed looking down at Scully; he looked at Langley when he spoke who in turn looked at Byers who left the room to retrieve the nurse.
"Scully it's Okay, you turned faint on us and blacked out, you've been out cold for fours hours now" Byers interrupted.
Scully was about to respond when young looking nurse entered, must have just come out of school.
"Ms Scully I'm glad to see you're awake, but gentleman you will need to leave Ms Scully alone for a while to get some rest" the nurse was sweet and tended to Scully by pouring her some water.
Langley, Byers and Frohike looked at the nurse and then looked at Scully, he eyes where full of concern and worry. Scully gave them a nod to say she's going to be fine on her own and they left.
"What happened?" Scully asked the nurse, more worry drowned her eyes.
"You fainted Ms Scully, a little over four hours ago" the nurse said. "Your Doctor will be here shortly to tell you everything you want to know"
Scully sat in silence, thoughts roamed her mind. "What if I was right, what if the cancer has come back"
She felt like she sat there forever, thinking nothing but the illness which had exhumed her body over two years ago. A lone tear sought its way down the side of Scully's face and as it did the door opened and a middle age male was standing in the doorway. She knew he must have been the doctor because he was wearing scrubs, but they were different to the nurses.
"Ms Scully, glad to see you're finally awake" he said with a smile.
"I'm Dr. Evans and I've been treating you today"
Scully gave him a half smile, worry still lingered in her eyes. "Do you know why it happened?"
"For some reason your body went into shock, sometimes our bodies do this when we get put under to much stress. Have you been feeling ill lately, maybe lightheaded or dizziness?"
"Actually, a couple of days ago I got chills, and then it felt like I had vertigo, the room was spinning, do you think it's my cancer?" Scully's voice turned hoarse at cancer.
"I was actually thinking more along the lines of pregnancy, I've seen many cases like this, you've been putting yourself under too much stress, perhaps skipping a meal hear or there. This is telling you that the baby is being affected when your body gets put under too much stress" Doctor Evans stated.
"Pregnancy, it can't be, there has to be some kind of mistake, I can't have children"
"Well under my presumptions I ran a few tests when you were out, you can look at your notes but they will only tell you what I've just said, you're pregnant"
Tears started spilling out of Scully's eyes as she read her own notes, it confirmed the doctor's suspicions, Scully was pregnant. The doctor looked at Scully with understanding eyes.
"But, how I mean, I was told I couldn't have children by one of the top doctors in D.C"
"Have you have unprotected sex with a man?"
"No… wait yesMulder" Scully inhaled deeply.
"Then it seems that you have been given a miracle" Dr Evans said smiling at Scully.
More tears fell as she thanked God under her breath; she had been given a miracle with the man she loved, she was carrying Mulder child, she placed a hand on her abdomen and smiled.
"How long do I have to stay here?" Scully looked up from her abdomen towards the doctor.
"Well we still have to run more test on you to see if there is anything else wrong but other then that a couple of day after some monitoring". The doctor smiled at Scully and left the room, Scully sat alone feeling cold and felt like she was missing something.
Scully sat thanking God about the miracle she had been given, her hands were on her stomach and tears fell out of her eyes like a waterfall, and she sat like that until there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Scully shouted, removing her hands from her abdomen and placing them next to her on the bed and wiped her eyes.
From the doorway Maggie Scully emerged, she stood staring at her daughter, who in return was staring back at her with her pebble blue eye.
Maggie's thoughts were the same as Scully's before she had heard, that the cancer had returned and that she would lose her only daughter from the terminal illness. After the death of her husband and the death of Missy, Maggie couldn't face any more grief.
Scully drew half a smile "Hi Mom"
"Dana? What's wrong, it's not the cancer is it; it can't be back, can it? Maggie's voice became raspy as she couldn't imagine another death.
"No Mom" Scully reassured her Mother.
"Then why are you in the hospital and why are you crying?" Maggie's eyebrows dropped at the sight of her daughter crying in a hospital bed.
"Mom, the doctors have given me news which will changed everything in my life, it has also changed my views on God" an illusive smile appearing on her face.
"Yes?"
"Mom… I'm pregnant" A smile formed on Scully's face but the waterworks restarted.
Maggie walked over to her daughter's bed and sat next to her. Scully sat up and hugged her mother like she had when she was in the hospital with cancer, the difference was Scully was fine and carrying a miracle child.
"That's great news Dana" Maggie said rubbing the small of Scully's back trying to ease her tears.
"I know, after so long of being told I can't conceive and even artificial insemination, I finally began to accept the fact I couldn't have children, and then I fall pregnant after one time" the tears subsided and a smile beamed through as Scully began to recall how it had happened, the night that brought her and Mulder to a point they had never reached before, confessed love.
"Who's the father?" Maggie asked.
At this question Scully let go of her mother and looked straight into her eyes, revealing the truth once and for all.
"Fox?" Maggie asked in a calm tone unsure of her daughter's reaction.
Scully hung her head in shame; she was punishing herself for not being a strict Christian. Bill had married Tara before they had children, Scully on the other hand slept with Mulder once on a whim and now she was pregnant with no sure promises ahead.
Maggie pulled Scully's chin up so that she was looking into her eyes. "I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to be the father of my grandchild, you love him don't you?" Maggie asked her, knowing the answer already.
"Yes I love him; I love him more than any man. He's protective and handsome; he makes me smile when I think about him and his eyes make me melt like butter." Scully said a smile plastered on her face, but then the smile vanished when she finally knew what was missing, Mulder.
"Where is Mulder, I'm sure if he knew you were in the hospital he'd be by your side, holding your hand"
"He's in Oregon on a case, an x-file" Scully added.
Maggie looked confused, had her daughter been taken off the x-files after all this time.
"Mulder said I should stay back in D.C because the case involved abductees being taken, but this time not being returned." Scully stopped took a deep breath. "He didn't want to risk losing me again so he took A.D Skinner to Oregon to pursuit the case." Tears restarted as Scully knew why she had blocked out Mulder, the pain of it hitting her.
"Then what's wrong?" Maggie asked.
"Every known abductee' had been previously put in the hospital with anomalous brain activity. Mulder had exactly the same thing happen to him earlier this year, it wasn't me who was at risk, it's… its Mulder" Scully cried to hard that she knew it was the newly developed hormones as well as her own fear of losing Mulder.
"Come on now Dana, Fox will be fine, he's strong and determined and if I know him he's on his way here now to see you" Maggie always seem to put bad things into a good light.
"I suppose you're right Mom, thanks" Scully hugged her Mom and then Maggie left her daughter to get some rest, the thought kept haunting Scully, she just lay in the hospital bed staring up at the ceiling waiting for Mulder.
Hours past and she was hoping to see Mulder walk through the door, but he didn't. An hour after Maggie left Scully alone she entered again, tears speckled, Maggie's cheeks.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"I'm so sorry Scully" Maggie went and sat down at the end of the bed.
Tears trickled down Scully's cheeks; she already knew what her Mom was going to say.
"A.D Skinner phoned the hospital and said he needed to talk to you, I insisted that he told me and that it would be better that I told you." Maggie took her daughters hand and took in a deep breath.
"It's Fox, he's gone" Maggie felt the hand under hers move.
This time no tears fell,Scully was in denial. She was unsure if she was ever going to see her lover, the father of her child and best friend again. Scully sat for hours staring at the blank hospital wall. Refusing to eat or drink, Maggie was getting really concerned, and so she walked in to Scully's room with a plate of food and left it on the table next to the bed.
"Dana you have to eat".
"I'm not hungry" Scully protested.
"Think about the baby Danes" her Mom offered her the plate of food, and Scully reluctantly gave into her Mom, her baby was the most important thing in her life now, and without Mulder it was going to be tough.
Scully sat in the room alone; she had not yet shed tears since she told her mother about the pregnancy, she couldn't accept it. She saw him standing at the door but decided to turn away from him and then he entered. It was A.D Skinner
"Agent Scully"
"Hi "Scully said
"Hi" Skinner responded
He closed the door behind him and headed over to Scully's bedside.
"How are you feeling?" He asked, the truth seeking its way out.
"I'm feeling fine, there just running some tests on me".
Skinners mouth moved, but no words came out, Scully knew what this meant, Mulder was nowhere to be seen.
"Umm" Skinner finally uttered.
Unable to look skinner in the eyes she looked down and bit her lip
"I already heard" Scully said, the tears finally fell.
"I lost him; I don't know what else I can say. I lost him." Skinner tried to hold back the tears; he thought it was his fault Mulder had vanished. "I'll be asked what I saw, and what I saw I can't deny, I won't"
An awkward silence filled the room both Skinner and Scully were crying. Scully's blue eyes sought comfort in his soft brown ones.
"We will find him, I have to". Scully said determinedly
Skinner was just about to walk away when Scully spoke.
"Sir… there's something else I need to tell you, something for you to keep to yourself, I'm having a hard time explaining it, or believing it. But…" A massive smile appeared on her face. "I'm pregnant".
Skinner looked at Scully with disbelief, Scully was crying and exasperated, she was alone with a child, a love child. It was going to be hard for Scully to look after her child alone, let alone never seeing Mulder again.
Skinner walked out of the room and left Scully to her thoughts.
She got out of bed and strolled over to the window and looked out. A starry night sky welcomed her as she placed a hand on her abdomen and then a hand on the window. "Mulder, this is our little miracle" She whispered. "I will find you, and we can be together forever" A lone tear fell down Scully's cheek. "I love you".
