Remember Me

Scully watched him go, it was the right thing to do, she didn't want him to waste his life on her, he had already wasted two weeks so she had lied to him and told him to leave when all she felt was some sort of deep connection with him that she couldn't shake, why couldn't she remember him? Scully sighed as she picked up the photo album he had left her. She looked through it and smiled at the photos of her and him together smiling and laughing, of him hugging her.
'It was the right thing to do' She told herself, but why did it feel so wrong? Scully looked back out the window just then a nurse came over
"Dana, it's time for your exercises" She said. Scully smiled and put the album down as the nurse wheeled her to the rehabilitation room. Scully didn't mind the exercises they were to strengthen her legs and keep her body fit until she was strong enough to walk. They made it to the room and soon began.
"And push against my hand" Scully did as she was told. Her leg ached from the pressure, then it collapsed. Scully groaned
"I'm sorry" She apologised but the nurse smiled
"Don't be, your legs just need more work, they are getting better though" Scully placed her leg on her hand again and pushed but it slipped
"Damn it!" She cursed. The nurse smiled
"I think that's enough for one day" The nurse started to pack everything away before pushing Scully back down the hall. All the while Scully couldn't help but think back to Mulder and wonder what he was doing right now

Mulder suddenly woke up, he couldn't breathe. He looked around to see he was upside down with his body underwater. Mulder scrambled for the seat belt and tried to push the latch but it wouldn't budge. Mulder tugged on it fiercely, bubbles escaped from his mouth as he tried to slip free but something sharp stabbed into his leg. Mulder grimaced in pain as he looked at his leg and found it was trapped underneath metal, the whole side was crumpled in and he was running out of air fast. Mulder looked around and banged on the roof just then something floated past him, he grabbed it to find it was half of the photo he had ripped up. He stopped and for the first time it seemed like his life flashed before his eyes as he looked at Scully smiling at him. Mulders eyes looked up, they felt tired and his lungs were burning they slowly closed and in the darkness voices could be heard from a distance.
"I found him! Get an ambulance!"

After stopping for a long period to talk to a felow colleague, the nurse pushed Scully along the hall slowly. She had noticed Scully's mood had changed and decided to make conversation
"So that man I saw earlier with the flowers, he loves you, you know" Scully smiled slightly
"Yeah I know but…" she stopped short
"But what? You like him too don't you?" Scully looked down
"I don't remember" she replied honestly. Just then a bunch of nurses and a doctor rushed around the corner with a man on a stretcher. Scully looked across as they went past and she felt a deep feeling of dread as she saw Mulder being pushed along. Scully turned in her chair
"That was…" the nurse started
"Mulder" Scully finished. She wanted to follow them but she knew she couldn't. She prayed with all her might that he would be ok. The nurse pushed her along and back to where she first was.
"There you go Dana"
"Thank you" Scully replied before she left. Scully sighed and looked down then it caught her eye, the photo album. Picking it up she held it in her arms and hugged it
'Please be alright Fox Mulder, Please be alright'

It was sometime later and just on dark when Scully wheeled herself down the hall towards Mulders room, holding the photo album on her lap and stopped at the door. Peering in she saw Mulder lying on the bed attached to a heart monitor. Scully carefully wheeled next to him. She looked at him for a moment then slowly she pushed her self up on her legs, they felt weak under her weight but she held strong as she looked over him.
"Mulder?" She reached out and took his hand. "Mulder?" Just then Mulders eyes flickered and slowly opened. Scully smiled as she looked at him. "Hi" she said quietly. Mulder just stared for a long moment
"Scully? What are you doing here?" He asked concerned, he tried to sit up a little but couldn't. Scully looked down
"I came to see how you were doing, I heard you were in a car crash" Mulder slowly placed a hand on his head and rubbed his face
"I remember lights then nothing" he replied Scully nodded. Mulder saw something in her face "Do you remember me?" he asked hopefully. She shook her head
"No, not since I woke up" Mulder sighed with disappointment. Scully saw it and squeezed his hand.
"What's wrong?" she asked. Mulder looked at her and smiled sadly
"Nothing, I just remembered how beautiful you are" There was a moment silence between them before Mulder spoke again "Look Scully, I understand if you don't want to be here, you can leave if you want" Scully looked him in the eyes and smiled
"It was wrong to send you away like that Mulder, I may not remember you right now but like you said, there's someone out there that loves me, and I would really like to find out and remember who that person is" Mulder saw something caring in her eyes then suddenly she handed him the photo album. Mulder was confused as he took it.
"I'm sorry but?…" Just then Scully managed to lift her self on the bed and lay down next to him. Mulder moved his arm around her as she leaned on his shoulder
"Please show me who that person is" She replied softly. Mulder stopped and felt his heart beat rise. She was giving him another chance. Mulder moved his head and smelt the essence of her hair as he opened the Album and started to show her and tell her about it. As he explained he couldn't help but think that if he hadn't had that crash then he wouldn't be here right now, wouldn't be holding her. Mulder smiled as Scully asked about a photo he had come to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason, whether good or bad, it always happens for a reason.
