The CSM stared at Madeline, " Why would you shoot your own sister?"
" Because I hate her," Madeline replied simply, She was going to have a baby whereas I couldn't ever have children. She never wanted kids in the first place and I've always wanted to be a mother. The whole idea of her becoming a mother was wrong, so I made it right." Madeline fingered the gun she was holding, " I wanted her to die so badly…"
The CSM could see that she was jealous of Carly-insanely jealous.
" Now that you know, you must die too." Madeline decided the CSM found himself in a familiar situation-a gun aiming at him.
" No one knows that I shot Carly but you," Madeline went on, " all I have to do is plant this weapon next to your dead body and everyone will think you were the one who shot Carly, then committed suicide."
She doesn't know me, the CSM reminded himself, she doesn't know what I'm capable of.
" I know what you're thinking agent Mulder," Carly was saying to Mulder back at the hospital, " You think Spender shot me don't you?"
" Yes, he did…didn't he?"
" He didn't shoot me, he would never harm me." Carly looked up at pleadingly, " You must believe me."
" If it wasn't him, then who was it?" Mulder demanded.
" Madeline…my sister."
Back in her apartment, the CSM was trying to get the gun away from Madeline and it was proven to be difficult. He didn't want to harm the sister of the woman he loved.
Maddy swung the gun at his temple, but missed. He made another grab for the gun when the door to the apartment flew open and the two agents barged in, guns pointing at Madeline.
" Drop the weapon Madeline!" Agent Mulder shouted at her.
Maddy turned to face them, " I didn't shoot Carly, it was him!" she protested, " then he tried to kill me!"
" You can stop the lies," Scully interjected, " Carly told us it was you. You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Carly Garrett." Mulder and Scully were too busy with the deranged sister to notice the CSM had gone.
" Madeline has been arrested," the CSM reported as he walked into Carly's room.
Carly smiled sadly, " Poor Maddy…if I only knew what she was going through, I could have helped her."
" You didn't know she wanted to kill you," the CSM reminded her, " she's beyond help."
" Did you know we lost the baby?" she asked him.
" Yes, the doctor told me,"
Tears gathered in her eyes, " I might have not wanted children and the baby was certainly a surprise, but I was starting to love the unborn child…now its gone…"
The CSM sat on the bed and hugged her, " we could always try again." He offered.
She didn't answer. He held her as she wept.
That afternoon, Mulder paid her a visit. " Scully says hi," he greeted her and gave her the bouquet of flowers, " these are from both of us."
" Thanks Agent Mulder, they're really pretty." Carly took them from him.
" Listen, about last night and the kiss," Mulder began, " I'm sorry if it caused you trouble with Spender…"
" The kiss had already bee forgotten," Carly assured him with a smile.
T
hat's just it, Mulder wanted to tell her, I don't want it to be forgotten. They chatted for awhile before he left. The CSM ignored Mulder as he disappeared inside the ward.
Mulder watched as the CSM sat on the bed and the two lovers started kissing.
He really does care about her, Mulder thought as their kiss deepened, as long as she's happy. He couldn't watch them anymore, he turned and left.
" I love you," Carly told the CSM, " I just wanted to return the sentiment."
He frowned, " What do you mean?"
" You told me you loved me." Carly reminded him, " I heard you say it yesterday."
" And I still do." The CSM assured her before his mouth came down onto hers for another kiss.
" Because I hate her," Madeline replied simply, She was going to have a baby whereas I couldn't ever have children. She never wanted kids in the first place and I've always wanted to be a mother.
