Approximately 24 hours later…
"You're kidding me, right?" I said to the doctor, a huge knot in my stomach.
"DNA tests don't lie Miss Reyes, but apparently Jessica Meyers does." The
doctor replied, his voice like poisoned honey. "I'll tell John-"
"No, I will. I suppose I should, I mean… well… I'll tell him."
"Fine with me, but I suppose you're the one who's going to be treated like a
psychotic moron." He hissed, letting John in the hospital room.
"What a nice jerk." He said with a sarcastic grin spread across his face. "What
did Dr. Evil have to say?"
"Well…" I couldn't get the right words out. "I guess we know that Rachel's
biological mom really is Diana."
"Who's the…"
"If you really want to know, it's Spender…"
"Jeffery Spender? The guy who experimented on by," He paused, "aliens?"
"Yeah."
"But, that isn't it Monica, is it?"
I couldn't lie to the expression planted on Doggett's face. He needed to know.
"No, that isn't it…" I took in a deep breath. "I guess we found out who
Virginia's parents are, too."
"Why did she take the test in first place? Georgia Meyers and Karl Parker are
her parents, no?"
"No, John." I gulped, "We are."
((POV Change))
I suddenly awoke from my nap plagued by nightmares and absorbed
the now familiar scene of a hotel room.
"Got any fives?"
"Go fish."
I turned my head and nearly laughed out loud at William and Mulder playing "Go
fish" at the small round table, they seemed like mirror images of one another.
"Geez, Mulder, you are a gambling addict." I smiled.
"Take a rest, Scully, I've only lost two nickels, a pack of gum, and paper
clip."
"And you?" I asked nodding to William.
"Absolutely nothing." He grinned.
"You're losing to a twelve-year-old?" I couldn't keep that amusement from my
voice.
"You bet he is, Mom."
Mom. I hadn't been called that in while.
"Pull up a chair for me, William, we can kick your Dad's butt together."
