Secrets and Heartaches

Scully held Diana's head down, her hands were going white from the pressure she was pushing down with. Diana moved again but Scully held strong. The sirens in the distance became louder as they pulled up out front.

"I hate you!" Scully said through clenched teeth. Diana moved again this time slower. Scully's eyes were filled of rage. She just felt so angry at Diana and the mess her relationship was in. She just wanted it to all end. Scully pushed harder when suddenly a creak from the bathroom door got her attention. She looked sideways to see a small figure appear at the corner.

"Dana, please stop" Joshua's voice quivered as he stared at her. Scully looked at him for a moment, his eyes were red from crying. Scully looked down at Diana through the reddened water. Reality hit her fast and hard. Diana was a mother, just like Scully was soon going to be. And why did Scully have the right to take away a child's mother, even if she really deserves it. She felt Diana move and in a split second Scully lifted off her and pulled her out of the water then leaned her on the side of the bath. Diana just laid there, coughing. Scully leaned down and whispered in her ear

"You can thank your son for your life" Scully reached down and pulled the plug. The water swirled and emptied as Scully climbed out of the bath. Diana just laid there, arm draped over the side, eyes closed as Joshua walked over to her and hugged her. Scully watched him and felt sad for him. Just then she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, she looked to see Skinner and some paramedics heading towards her. Skinner stopped in front of her and looked at her dripping clothes

"Are you ok?" He asked placing an arm on hers. Scully nodded

"Yeah…" then it hit her, she spun around "Mulder is he?…"

"Alive? Yes and so is Spender, they've been taken to the hospital, come on, we'll get you changed and I'll take you there" Scully nodded as Diana was wheeled passed them on a stretcher. Scully looked at her unconscious form

"I wanted to kill her so badly…"

"What made you stop?" Scully looked at Skinner and lowered her eyes

"Joshua… He made me realise nobody has the right to take another persons life, no matter how much you hate them" Skinner smiled slightly

"Well at least you knew the difference… come on lets get to the hospital"

It was a short time later when Scully was dropped off at the hospital with Joshua. Scully had taken the boy to meet his real dad, who was awake and fully attentive but still very sore. Scully stood at the door and watched as Spender talked with the son he had never met.

"…I am so proud of you" he said placing a hand on Joshua's head. Scully smiled as Spender looked up at her.

"Thankyou Scully" Scully nodded back but didn't reply as she left them alone. Scully walked along the corridor towards Mulders room. She felt kind of nervous, she hadn't really talked to him in what seemed like forever. Scully peered through the crack in the door. Mulder was laying staring at the roof. The door creaked and Mulder turned his head and smiled as she walked in slowly and sat next to the bed. She reached out and took his hand.

"Hi" she said softly. Mulder smiled

"Hi" he replied. Scully looked down and was about to say something when Mulder spoke

"Scully, I am so sorry, you were right about everything…"

"Mulder, I…"

"Scully, please let me finish" Mulder swallowed "Scully you told me that she was manipulating everything and I just didn't listen and I couldn't see it and now I have lost the chance to have a family because of her… Scully I understand if you don't want me back" Scully looked at him for a moment then squeezed his hand

"Mulder I want nothing more than to just be with you and raise our baby as one happy family" Mulder stared her in the eyes and saw the fire behind them

"But I thought the baby was…" Scully smiled

"The baby is fine, Diana lied to you" Mulder turned his head and looked at the roof.

"Scully I…" Mulder felt a hand on his face

"Hey, I don't want to talk about Diana any more…" Mulder turned his head and closed his eyes as Scully leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips for a moment then released. Mulder looked at her and saw the love in her eyes.

"You are a remarkable woman, you know that Dana Scully?" Scully smiled

"I know, but I would prefer it, when you get out of this hospital, I would like to be called Dana Mulder" Mulder smiled

"You still want to marry me? After all I put us through?" Scully looked down at her belly

"I would still marry you in a heartbeat" She looked up then leaned over and kissed him again.

It was a few months later and Scully was about 8 months along now. Diana had been sentenced to 30 yrs in prison for attempted murder. Scully smiled, she never felt more alive as she stood at the alter holding hands with none other than Fox Mulder. She glanced across at Spender and Joshua. Spender now had a job and was looking after his son. They now live in a house down the street from Mulder and herself. Scully sighed and looked back at Mulder who looked her in the eyes and saw the greatest amount of joy he had ever seen in a human being, it was breath taking. Mulder smiled at her

'No regrets?' he mouthed, she shook her head.

'Not one' She mouthed back. Mulder squeezed her hand as the priest continued

"And I now pronounced you man and wife, you may kiss the bride" Scully pursed her lips and smiled as Mulder leaned in and kissed her gently, passionately. The crowd clapped and stood as cameras went off. Mulder and Scully kissed for a long moment then released. Scully took his hand and they turned towards everyone. She placed a hand on her belly and sighed

'You're Mummy and Daddy is here now… forever' They both started to walk down the aisle and back up the carpet towards the Limo. They turned and waved then Scully threw the bouquet before getting in the Limousine. Scully took Mulders hand once they started to drive off. He turned to her

"I love you" Scully smiled back at him

"I love you too" the Limo turned a corner then suddenly Scully felt a sharp twinge in her stomach. She leaned forward.

"Scully what's wrong?" Mulder asked placing a hand on her leg.

"Something's wrong, I think my water just broke" Mulder tapped on the glass to the driver.

"We need to get to a hospital" The driver nodded as they turned a corner "It's going to be alright" Mulder tried to soothe her as pain stated to spread throughout her stomach.

Scully was rushed to the hospital, the doctor had confirmed that she had gone into labour early and there were a few complications.

"The baby is backwards we need to get it to turn around" Scully nodded as they helped her up on her knees. She tried to keep her breathing calm as the doctor pressed on her belly.

"Ouch!" Scully clenched Mulders hand as pain went throughout her body.

"Ok Dana we have to lay you back down for a second" Scully nodded and laid down again. The doctor checked the baby's heartbeat.

"We have a steady heart be… wait… it's just stopped, nurse get prepped for a C section."

"Yes doctor" Mulder watched her go. Scully was getting a little distressed now

"What's wrong? Is my baby?…" sitting up slightly

"Dana you need to relax, we have to do a caesarean, so I need you to lie back and…" Suddenly everything was spinning and Scully's eyes went wide…

"Scully are you ok?…" But Scully didn't hear as blackness swept in on the breeze and she collapsed back on the bed…

"Scully!!"
