A/N: Here is the final chapter; not quite how I wanted it to go, I wanted it to go longer, but I'm fresh out of ideas for this Fic.

Emily 10

Epilogue

The next few months passed. Mulder took care of his parents' estates, they did in fact sell rather quickly and for decent chunks of money. He returned home after a week in DC. The realtor he dealt with recommended another one in their area and three months after he returned the found the house.

The house was three stories plus a basement. The house was a little run down, and needed some TLC, but the four of them were happy with their decision. They started from the ground up. The basement was turned into three rooms: a small bathroom, just a toilet and sink, a small storage space where Mulder and Scully started prepping for the invasion they were sure would happen in 2012, and the last room was the largest space: a lounge room. The room had a large plasma screen TV with a Blu-Ray/DVD/VHS player, and a Wii. There were three different couches in the room and a pool table from Mulder's dad's house that he didn't want to sell so he brought it back with them. The first floor of the house contained a more subdued living room: with a smaller TV and matching sofas, it also had the formal dining room that they would use for holidays and parties, the kitchen was updated with modern appliances and a small table when it was just the four of them, and two small offices for both Mulder and Scully.

The second floor was remodeled as was the third floor. They left the Master Suite on the second floor alone and made that the guest room. The added another two suites to that floor, though they were smaller than the guest room. Emily and Will took these two rooms; Emily took the one with the larger closet. The third floor held another guest room and the real Master suite: this room had a walk in closet the size of the Kids' bathrooms and a bathroom the size of their bathroom and closet together. The bathroom came with a nice deep claw foot tub that was big enough for both Mulder and Scully to bathe in comfortably. It also had an enclosed shower and two sinks with mirrors and medicine cabinets. And another smaller room held a storage closet and the toilet.

All in all the family was quite content with their new house. They spent about a month furnishing it to their satisfaction. The basement furniture didn't match, the long couch was made up of black leather, while the two recliners were suede and the love seat was made of beige leather. The coffee table doubled as the storage unit for the movies and games, the sides were filled with shelves made for that job. The top of the table could come out and sit and knee level over the couch. The furniture in the first floor of the house was a tasteful dark brown leather with automated foot stools, the dining room table was a dark cherry wood that could fit at most 14 people. The table in the kitchen was a pale cherry wood that was made to fit just the four of them. Mulder and Scully's offices were twins: the desk was the exact same: a dark stained oak with room for paperwork, a computer and a printer/fax machine. Shelves filled the other two walls and the wall with the door ended up covered in photos. The differences were minor: Mulder used a Mac desktop while Scully used a Sony PC desktop. Scully's shelves contained medical journals and other types of books designed for someone in the medical/surgical field, and Mulder's shelves contained books on psychology, book writing, and of course books on conspiracy theories. The pictures on Mulder's walls were a mix of photos from his personal life: pictures of The Gunman, himself, Samantha, Scully and baby William and a mix of pieces he cut from the second copy of each conspiracy magazine he subscribed to; while Dana's was all personal: each member of her family had a picture on her wall, some had more.

The second floor was also personalized: the guest room was left the way it was; a queen sized bed was added to the room. Emily's room was painted a soft yellow color, that you couldn't see because she covered the walls in poster and filled bookshelves, her bedroom furniture was made out of wood painted black and included: a full sized bed covered in shades of blue and green, a desk that had room for a computer that she would get when her parents upgraded their systems, a bedside table and a dresser that was in her closet. Her black bookshelves contained her own movies, her CDs and of course her growing book collection. Will's room was painted a dark blue that matched his own black furniture: he had a loft bed with a desk and futon below the bed, he also had room for a computer. He also had a dresser that was also in his closet. He had a few shelves in his room for his movie and CD collection. He had a bunch of sport gear in his room, and was excited to learn how to play every sport he possibly could.

The third floor guest room matched the one on the second floor and the master bedroom had a queen sized bed with a sheer white canopy. The rest of the furniture matched: a long dresser in the closet, a his and her set of bedside tables and a small loveseat were made out of the same material: black stained wood and black fabric. The walls were left the way they were: white, and Dana planned to keep them that way.

After they were all settled William who adopted the nickname of Liam headed to a nearby private school, he did well in school and excelled in sports. Emily did school online on her dad's Mac and secretly hoped that it would be hers when her parents updated. She did that in the morning before Mulder dropped her off for her myriad of dance, art and acting classes. Her evenings were spent either in the pool or gym to get her workout. Her mother usually joined them.

Dana was still at Our Lady of Sorrow's hospital, but she was starting the application process for the non-religious hospital in the area. They were seriously considering her, in fact they were giving her whatever hours she wanted and a flexible schedule; she'd just be on call most of the time. She was really happy about this.

Mulder worked on collating years of case file notes together so he could start to write his book; he also had a few fiction books in the works. He loved Scully more for her suggestion during the pedo priest case. He then dropped the kids off at whatever they had going on before heading out to the practice he was working part time at.

Dana would then pick Emily up and they'd head to the YMCA for their evening workout while Mulder and Liam would do whatever they wanted.

They would head home and prepare dinner with two people cooking and the other two people on dishes. Liam would then work on his homework and Emily would practice the cello in her room. They watched an hour or so of mindless TV then went to their rooms. Emily would read or sketch, Will would toss a small basketball into a hoop set up over the futon or he'd play a video game on his PSP, and Mulder and Scully would use the time to act all couple-y.

All in all they were a very happy, typical American family. Emily and Liam were both glad that they had found their biological parents and left their previous lives behind them.
