Secrets and Heartaches

It was early the next morning when Scully slowly opened her eyes, she remembered the dream she had of having no money and sleeping under the bridge and being pregnant. Suddenly realisation hit her as she stared out across the river. Scully groaned and stood up, a little stiff from sitting all night. Watching the waves hit the peer she let out a breath and rubbed her belly.
'Good Morning baby. Mummy's awake now' She thought taking in the airy smells of the river. She took one step then out of no where a knife came around and stopped only inches from her neck
"Don't move and you won't get hurt" A gruff voice said behind her. Scully did as he said.
"Please don't hurt me, I'm pregnant" She said calmly, the man snickered
"Do you think I care? Give me all your money"
"I don't have any money…"
"Don't lie to me! Give me your money!" The man shouted getting agitated. The knife now against her throat. Scully had to think quickly.
"Check my pockets, if I had money do you think I would have slept under this bridge last night?" Scully felt the knife ease off her slightly as he checked her clothing.
"Turn around" he said pushing her forward. Scully slowly turned around and looked at her attacker. Her eyes went wide.
"You?" She gasped
"Agent Scully?"

It was the next morning and Mulder had been awake most of the night. He found that Scully's credit cards were disabled and couldn't work out why she would disable them, unless she never did want to see him again. Mulder had fallen asleep in the early hours and now the sun was up and shining through the window on his face. Diana walked through the door and smiled as she stared down at his skin. He was so peaceful and handsome. Diana bent down and whispered to him
"Fox… Fox" Mulder slowly opened his eyes and stared at her, his vision still blurry
"Scully?" Diana pursed her lips angrily
'Why can't he just forget about her?' Diana smiled.
"No Fox, it's Diana I have your breakfast ready" She said taking his hand and gently pulling him up. "Did you sleep well?" Mulder sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his eyes
"Yeah, but I couldn't stop dreaming about her" Diana sighed
"Fox, you must let her go, she told you she doesn't want to be with you anymore..." Mulder stood up and walked over to the closet. Diana watched him changed and smiled. She had forgotten just how handsome he really was. When he finished he walked over to her and took her hands
"Diana I appreciate your concern but I still need to find her" Diana looked down hiding her annoyance then smiled up at him
"Let's not talk about it, come on, breakfast is ready and Joshua is waiting for his dad"

"What are you doing here?" Scully pursed her lips
"I could ask the same thing about you Agent Spender" Spender lowered the knife and stared at her. Scully could just recognise him under his straggly beard. She waited for a reply but Spender turned to leave
"I have nothing to tell you, just go" He said stepping away but Scully grabbed his arm
"Jeffery" Suddenly he pulled from her grasp
"Don't touch me!" He yelled. Scully saw he was distressed
"Spender, what happened to you?" Spender turned on her then.
"What happened to me? You really want to know?" Scully nodded backing up slightly
"Yes I do" Spender laughed sarcastically
"Ok, I'll tell you, I once had a life like yours. Money, job, even a wife and a kid on the way but just when my baby boy was born, my 'wife' told me we were through and took my son and stopped my accounts and robbed me of all my money, then made sure I lost my job. I don't even know what my son's name is!" Scully felt sorry for the man. She reached out and rested a hand on his arm
"I'm sorry, she sounds like a really mean woman" Spender looked at her and nodded
"You should know, you and Agent Mulder have met her" Scully looked shocked
"Oh?"
"It's Diana" Scully's eyes went wide
"Diana? As in Diana Fowley?" He nodded.
"Yes" Scully stood there for a moment in silence then smiled
"Spender do you think you're up to a long walk?"
"I may be, why?" Scully took his arm and pulled him along
"Because I think there's someone you should see"

It was a short time after breakfast and Mulder had taken Joshua with him to search for Scully. Diana had waved goodbye and closed the door behind her and went to do the laundry. It was sometime later when she walked into the kitchen and pulled out a glass from the cupboard, filling it with water. Looking around to make sure no one was watching she pulled out a small cylinder container with white pills and dropped 2 in the water. She watched them bubble and dissolve into nothing then she smiled
'Now I'll put it in the fridge and give it to Fox when he gets home' She thought. Just then she heard the front door close 'Good he's home' She walked towards the kitchen door but stopped abruptly as voices caught her ears.
"Agent Scully, I would have never guessed you to be the homemaker type..." She heard a familiar voice say.
"I never thought I would either Jeffery, but Mulder and I are finally together and…" She heard Scully's voice trail off. Diana cursed under her breath.
"Damn him! I thought I got rid of him a long time ago" Scully and Spender walked into the lounge room and out of view. Diana slowly closed the door to the kitchen and turned around
'Damn it! I have to get rid of them before Fox and Joshua gets home' Suddenly she heard a car pull up outside. Placing her ear to the door and heard the happy laugh of Joshua as he ran up the path.
'Damn!' Turning around she hurried over to the sink and rummaged around in the draws for something until she found a small knife. 'This will do just fine' She thought, just then she heard the front door open, she looked at the knife again
'Yes this will do just fine indeed...'
