Reyes POV, as she is nice & healthy ^^
*~*~*~*
I smiled contently as John walked in, carrying a single red rose in a
beautiful glass vase.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked sarcastically.
"Na, I don't think so." He replied, setting the vase down and pulling up a
chair next to my bed. "Scully and William took the stairs, they'll be here in a
minute or two."
"Where's Ginny?" I questioned.
"She went with Rachel and her two foster sisters to the cemetery were that
Diana woman was buried. Rachel didn't have an easy time coping with the fact
that her real mom was dead, so they went along with her."
"I think they're finishing up the DNA tests, so they can be completely sure…for
some strange reason Virginia volunteered for a DNA test, too…"
Pure silence.
"You gave me quite the scare, Monica… just that little thought that you
wouldn't make it…"
I understood. "And I don't know what I would do if I lost you, either…"
"If this isn't one of those Kodak moments I don't know what is."
John and I turned to the doorway. It was Mulder.
For a second or two my mouth was held open, but I forced myself to shut it.
When Scully comes in here…
"How did you find us here anyway?"
((POV Switch))
'Finally…' I thought as I went up the last flight of stairs, William
trailing a few feet behind me.
"Why do you insist on taking the stairs? We could have went up the elevator,
but NO, we had to go up twenty flights of stairs." William grinned. I had only
known him a day, but it seemed like I had known him forever.
We finally got to Monica's room when I saw a tall man standing in the doorway,
he probably heard me coming, and then he turned around.
"M-Mulder???" I stammered.
"Who's he?" William asked, a puzzled look on his face.
I just stood there and stared.
"It's been a while…" Mulder said quietly.
"Three years… three long, long years. Too long for my liking." Tears streamed
down my face as he held me in a warm embrace.
William stared at me and repeated his question with a slight nod to Mulder,
"Who is he, Mom?"
"William?"
