Chapter Ten
Mulder contacted the fertility doctor who had stored Scully's ova which had been taken from her during an abduction. One of the stolen ova had been used to create little Emily. When Mulder entrusted the vial to the doctor, he was assured that some of the ova might still be viable and that there was a chance that embryos created could be implanted in an in vitro fertilization process and hopefully Scully would become pregnant. Mulder let the doctor know that he and Scully were eager to get started on the process of trying for a child. The doctor told Mulder to come to the fertility clinic to supply a sample that could be used to create the embryos needed for the procedure.
Mulder woke up with Scully cuddled in his embrace. "Is today the day?" she asked.
"Yes, it's THE day," he said as he gently kissed her lips.
She smiled as she thought of the journey they were about to embark on. How she hoped it would be successful and they would be blessed with a little miracle. "If it works and I get pregnant, I think we should celebrate," she said.
"What will we do?"
"Maybe we should get married."
"Are you ready to tie the knot, Scully?"
"I am not sure, but if I get pregnant, I am going to be so excited."
"You'll be the most beautiful pregnant woman alive," he said with a grin.
"I hope this works," she said. "What if-?"
"We're going to get our miracle, Scully. One way or another."
"What does that mean?"
"We already got one miracle- Emily and after everything we've been through, we are due for another one," he said.
She wrapped her arms around him tightly, squeezing the life out of him as she was overwhelmed with excitement and overflowing happiness. "Mulder, there's just one thing I need to say."
"What's that?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too," he said as he pulled her close and kissed her.
