SUMMARY: Scully is taken by an unlikely acquaintance and learns that part of her past threatens the future.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters mentioned in the following fanfic, CC and 1013/Fox does. I'm not making any money, ::shows wallet with nothing in it::, and CC is. Good for him.
NOTE:
It would make a lot more sense if you read the first two parts:)
Also, I couldn't quite fit this part in with the last one from the second scene, so this is a continuation...
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Alex," she started as she felt her heart pound and her stomach flip slightly.
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me," she said forwardly as he looked at her and gently put the necklace back in the box.
"No apologies, this time," she said as she leaned back slightly as he shifted his position and looked at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He nodded as he leaned forward and hesitantly held his lips a breath away from hers. He brought his mouth across and kissed her. He was gentle as she pressed her lips into him and brought a hand up to his hair. She ran her fingers through his hair and pushed his head to her further. Scully slowly slipped her body down as she rested on her back and barrened his weight, but she didn't mind, she had held his weight before, and she was willing to do it again.
"Dana-" he breathed into her mouth as she opened it and allowed air to quickly circulate through her lungs.
"Alex-" she breathed back as she ran her fingers down his back and watched his breathing increase.
"Dana, we can't."
"I know, but I don't want to stop yet," she said as she brought her hand back up to his cheek and gently caressed it.
"We have to, or I don't know if I could stop," he said as she eventually nodded and let him back up.
Krycek sat and picked up his shirt as he put it back on. Scully watched him as he gracefully pulled his left arm through the sleeve easily and without second thought.
"Thank you, Alex."
"For what?"
"Everything. I didn't realize it until tonight, but you're all I have left in the world. You could have killed me and never thought about it again, or held me hostage for money from Mulder or Skinner or anyone you wanted, but instead, you welcome me into your home and let me into your life. You let me in, Alex." She said quietly as he reached out and held her hand.
"You shouldn't thank me, Dana, you shouldn't at all. You can't, I-"
"No, don't say anything, just let it be, please," she said through the tears that began to form in her eyes.
"Reality's horrible, Scully."
"I know. I think I've always known," she said as she thought back through her life at all the accomplishments and all the disasters that had shaken her foundation, made her look twice.
"Do I have a grave?" she asked after a few minuets of silence.
"Yes," he said quietly as she looked at him and back down to her hand which still held his.
"When did I die?"
"A few weeks ago."
"How?"
"Heart complications, at least that's what the obituary says."
"Then you have it?"
"Yes,"
"May I see it?"
"Sure," he said quietly as he stood up and walked over to the Russia travel poster and lifted it off the wall. She watched as he took the back frame off and pulled out a newspaper.
"Are you sure you want to see it?"
"Yes," she said quietly as she held the paper in her hand and lowered her eyes to her name and picture.
"Dana Katherine Scully, MD, born February 23, 1964, died January 20th, 2000 at the age of 36," she read quietly as she read the rest of it to herself. It highlighted her life and her family and her brilliant career, but only mentioned Mulder once and never mentioned the X-Files.
Scully put the newspaper down on the coffee table and looked at the door.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-"
"No, no I'm fine, I just, I-I-I'm," she began to sob as she stood up and passed Krycek.
"Dana?" he asked as he followed her to the bedroom and watched her curl into the bed.
"Alex-" she whispered in a sob as she put her head in the pillow and sobbed uncontrollably.
"I'm here," he said as he walked over to her and sat next to her as he rubbed her back the same way she had done it for him when he was crying hysertically.
"Hold me," she said quietly as he nodded and scooted next to her. He pulled out his arms and brought her to his chest.
"Look at me, look at me," he whispered as she lifted her head and caught his eyes.
"Dana, I'm not going to leave you, I'm not getting rid of you, you are alive and safe. Nothing's going to happen to you, I promise to you, nothing will ever happen to you, you are safe, with me, alive and safe."
"Prove it to me."
"How should I do that?"
"You know," she said as she gently caressed his cheek and pressed her lips to his. He quickly pressed his right hand behind the base of her neck as he pressed her head closer to him. He gasped into her mouth as she ran her hands under his shirt and touched his back lightly.
She helped him with the buttons on her shirt as he opened it and slid if off as he leaned back and pulled off his shirt. She smiled slightly as he pulled off her pants and then his. He climbed back onto her and began to kiss along her neck and listened to her moan softly. She reached her hands down and tenderly stroked the bulge in his boxers as he moaned into her neck.
"Liberate me," he whispered into her ear as she sat up gently and unclasped her bra. Krycek watched as she slid it down her arms and dropped it to the ground. He eagerly lunged forward and began to suck and kiss on her right breast. She moaned and arched her back slightly as he moved to her left breast and he listened to her moan.
"Dana, you have to tell me what you want and how you want it," he said through his teeth as he nipped her slightly. She cried out as she tried to form words.
"You know how I like it," she moaned as he smiled and kissed her swelling lips.
"You got it." He said as he pulled down her panties and slid off his boxers quickly. She smiled as he pulled himself back up and looked into her eyes.
"You have beautiful eyes."
"So do you," she replied as she brought her head up and kissed his neck. Krycek held her closely to him before he put her back down and sat up. He spread her legs apart as he quickly looked back up to her.
"Prove it to me," she repeated as he nodded and entered her. She cried out as he began to rock into her and she rocked with him. Their rhythm mixed together as Scully felt her orgasm begin to climax.
"Oh-My-God-" she cried out as she threw back her head and Krycek cringed as he tried not to hear what she yelled. He was scared to death she wouldn't call out his name. That she'd call out someone else, anyone else but him.
"ALEX!" she screamed as he rocked into her quicker and quickly followed and screamed out "DANA!"
Krycek gasped as he fell onto her and rested his spent body. After a minuet, he looked up and caught her eyes. Her beautiful blue eyes that absorbed him and left him soaking wet in her deep ocean of blue. He looked past her eyes and into her soul. He smiled slightly as he felt her looking into his, and this time, he was ready for her to see everything he had to bare.
"Oh, wow."
"I know," she whispered as she lowered his head and kissed his forehead.
"Dana?"
"Yes?"
"I love you," he whispered as Scully looked at him and smiled.
"I love you too," she whispered after a minuet and watched a flood of relief over come Krycek.
"Did I prove it to you?" Krycek asked as Scully nodded. He smiled as he pulled himself out of her and rolled next to her.
"Dana, I'm not going to leave you," he said as he picked up her quilt and pulled it over their still warm bodies.
"Goodnight Alex."
"Goodnight Dana," he said as he kissed her gently and rested his head on the pillow they shared.
XXXXXX
Alex woke up and looked at the sleeping angel that rested next to him. The memories of the night before rushed over him as he smiled and reluctinintly pushed himself out of bed gently and felt relief when he didn't wake her up. Krycek picked up his boxers and slipped into them as quietly as he slipped out of the door and to the living room. The room looked brighter and he smiled. He stopped smiling as he heard the shrill ringing of his phone as he groaned and picked it up.
"Krycek."
"Krycek, it's Luis, Man, I gotta make this quick, but the grave, Scully's grave, their about to go exhume it."
"What?!" Krycek yelled into the phone as he quickly realized the smoking man was about to make good on his deal.
"I know you heard me, get out, now, get out of town, country, hell, get out of this hemisphere, but get lost, now!" he said as he hung up the phone. Krycek nodded as he hesitantly put the phone down and looked toward the bedroom. He nodded to himself as he hesitantly stood up and walked toward it. They needed to leave, and soon.
Scully felt Krycek kiss her lips gently. It brought back memories from weeks ago when he had kissed her for the first time. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled.
"You're here."
"I told you I'd never leave you, it would take a lot more to shake me," he said with a smile as he watched her flash one of those rare, but beautiful smiles.
"Dana, I just got a phone call, we gotta go."
"Where?"
"Away, I don't know where yet, but we have to go now."
"What's going on?"
"Their about to exhume your grave," he said as he looked at the clock that sat on the wall.
"It's been a few weeks, Alex, Did you put a body in the coffin?"
"Yes, but they'll do dental records, I've seen it before, we can't fool them much longer."
"Let's go," she said as she sat up and began to gather her scattered clothes. She put them on as she quickly ran her fingers through her hair and followed Krycek to the living room. He quickly picked up the ring, necklace and burnt piece of lace.
"Dana, I want you to wear the ring," he said as she reached into the closet and grabbed their disguises from the first time they had gone out.
"Sure," she said as she walked over to him and allowed him to slip the ring onto her finger.
"Thank you," she whispered as she kissed him and pulled back. She handed him his coat and hat as she slipped hers on and put her hair into it.
"Alex, if they do find out my body isn't real, as weird as that sounds, would they tell anyone?"
"It would be scandalous if they let it out, I'm not sure if it would be in their best interest if they did." She nodded and he grabbed her hand. She took it as they ran for the door and down the hall to the stairs that led to the back way out.
XXXXXX
They stopped running after Krycek quickly ducked into an alley with Scully.
"Krycek, we-"
"Say Good-bye Scully, you need to say good-bye to Mulder."
Scully looked up and realized they where standing outside of his building.
"Alex, we-"
"You will regret it if you don't, trust me."
"I trust you," she whispered as they entered the apartment building through the back.
XXXXXX
Scully held on to Krycek's hand as they stood outside of apartment 42.
She held her breath as she knocked on his door and listened to a hushed voice and the locks turn quickly. She stood there as the door opened slightly and Mulder peaked his head through slightly.
"No..."
"Yes," Scully whispered quietly as Mulder stared at her, his eyes unmoving, unblinking.
"Oh God, Scully! I had the worst dream, you where gone, dead, and-" he stopped as he noticed her hand was connected to someone else. She held Krycek's hand and it trembled slightly.
"Who are you?"
"A friend," he replied back quietly, thankful he had worn the sunglasses. They needed to leave soon, but he wasn't willing to destroy her last moments with Mulder.
"Agent Mulder?" a voice called from the apartment as Mulder swung the door open more and revealed Skinner.
"Agent Scully!?" he said, his voice more surprised then anything else.
"Sir," she said, but it came out as only more then a croak from her throat.
"Mulder, Sir, I-I have to go, but I never got to say good-bye, so this is my good-bye," she said quietly as she looked at her watch and realized they'd be about 2 feet into the ground by then.
"Scully, you are NOT going anywhere!" Mulder said as he walked toward her and grabbed her wrist away from Krycek's hand.
"Mulder, this is not up to you to decide, the Smoking man wants my life, and he thought he had it, but he was fooled. Everyone was fooled apparently. I am alive, but barely. I will die if I stay here, I have to go."
"Then I'm going with you."
"No, Mulder, if you leave, they'll know."
"They'll know anyway, I might as well make sure you're safe," he said as he began to pull her to the door.
"Mulder! What do you think I'm here for?" Krycek asked as he stepped forward and wished he had thought about it and realized this would be very hard on Mulder and Scully.
"Who are you? I want an answer!"
"A dear friend, who won't let her get hurt, ever." He said as he looked at Skinner and back to Mulder.
"Mulder, just say good-bye and let me leave," she said as she freed her wrist from his hand.
"Agent Scully, I cannot allow you-"
"Skinner, I have to go. Now." She said as she looked toward the stairs and nodded.
"Scully, I cannot allow you to do this," Mulder said quietly as she looked at him and sighed.
"I have to, Mulder, Good-bye Mulder, Good-bye Sir," she said as she grabbed Krycek's hand and began to walk down the hall. Mulder began to run after them but Skinner quickly grabbed him and held him back. Mulder watched helplessly as Scully ran down the hall and away from his life forever.
XXXXXX
Scully looked toward the building as they quickly ran down the street and to the pier nearby.
"It was hard," she whispered as he nodded and looked at her.
"But do you feel better?" he asked as she nodded.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well, I think we'll take a ship out of DC and go somewhere else, we'll then go to the airport and fly away from here, somewhere, I'm not sure where yet, we'll talk about that on the ship, and I guess start a life," he said as they quickly crossed a street and saw the pier within sight. They quickly walked the rest of the way as Krycek led her to a dock and signaled to a man.
"Hey!" he called out as the man looked up and smiled slightly.
"Hey! It's been too long! What's going on?"
"Too much," Krycek said as he walked toward him, still holding Scully's hand, and began to speak quickly in Russian. The man nodded several times and looked to Scully twice.
"A port in North Carolina," he said quietly as Krycek nodded and looked toward Scully.
"We're going to North Carolina, this is a friend of mine, his name is Tom. Tom, this is Dana," he said as she nodded to him and looked back to Krycek.
"Can we trust him?"
"With our lives," he said as he realized that was what they where doing, but he shook the feeling.
"We cast off in ten minuets," Tom said as Krycek and Scully looked up and nodded.
"I'll show you to the washrooms," Krycek said as he held her hand and they walked along the pier. He realized Scully wasn't very nervous about the small fishing boat or the fact that North Carolina was a while away.
XXXXXX
Scully felt Krycek's hand around her waist as they lay in the dark cabin. She also felt the heavy wool blanket drape over them as she felt his warm breathing on her neck. She sighed quietly while she heard him whisper something to her.
"Alex?" she whispered so quietly, she wondered if he even heard her.
"Just a prayer," he replied in a hushed voice and she nodded.
"Ya Tibia Lyublyu," he whispered in a husky whisper into her ear. She blinked and waited for a response. She knew he couldn't see her and she couldn't see him either.
"I love you," he said quietly as she smiled and turned her head slightly as she kissed him gently.
They both stopped dead when they heard the cabin door open and shut quickly. Scully held her breath and squeezed Krycek's hand.
"We've been off port for half an hour now, you can come on out," Tom said quietly as Krycek and Scully felt the blanket slowly lifted off their body's and the cool quickly rushed in. Tom smiled slightly as he looked at them and knew everything. He could tell by the way Krycek looked at Dana that he was in love. It appeared that Dana was in love with him too, just not as open to emotions.
"Thank you," Scully said quietly as she sat up and blushed slightly at her current position with Krycek.
"I owe Krycek, he saved my life once."
"Really?"
"Honest to God!"
"Alex, you'll have to tell me that story someday," Scully said as she turned her head back and faced Krycek, who was now sitting up behind her.
"I'll have to tell you a lot of things someday," he said in a lowered voice as Tom got the message and smiled.
"Well, I'm gonna go check around deck, you guys just hang out here," Tom said in a hushed voice as he stepped out the door and locked the door.
"Scully."
"Yes?"
"The ring, I really want you to wear it," he said as he lifted up her left hand slightly and looked at how it complimented her skin perfectly.
"It is gorgeous, but I couldn't, it's yours," she said quietly as he kissed her neck gently. She smiled and let out a gasp as he nipped at her ear.
"Ours."
"What?"
"A promise ring, promise me you'll stay with me because I promise to stay with you, Scully, promise me you'll-"
"I promise, I was serious, Alex, I'm not going to leave you, It's just you and me," she said as she held his hands and looked at him.
Scully looked around the room quickly and wondered what the day was.
"Do you know what today is?" she asked quietly as he thought about it.
"I think it's February 23rd, but I could be a few days off, I never did get a calendar for my apartment, why?"
"Oh, no reason," she said quietly as she shivered slightly.
"It's cold in here," Krycek said as he pulled off his leather jacket and slipped it on Scully.
"Thank you."
"No, thank you."
"God, how sappy are we?" She asked as they both burst out laughing at how the ice that once rested around and in them had melted and left only water at their feet and it was quickly running into the ocean.
XXXXXX
Scully opened her eyes slightly as she heard banging on the door. She and Krycek had fallen asleep and had lost track of the time. She shrugged off the sleep as she sat up and walked to the door. Dana stopped as she heard the banging increase as she reached her hand to the door, but felt her body being thrown against the back wall as Tom broke down the door. She watched as Tom looked at her and quickly moved his eyes to Krycek who was now awake and standing next to the bed.
"Tom? What's going on?"
"You! You fucking bastard!" Tom screamed as he pulled out a knife from his boot's rim and lunged toward Alex. Krycek quickly ducked but felt the knife drive into his collar bone. He screamed out as he fell down and kicked Tom in the stomach.
"Dana, Go!" Krycek yelled as she tried to force herself to wake back up and to find something to hurt Tom, to save Alex, to stop the fear and the anger she felt weld up in her body.
She slumped against the wall and watched the two men wrestle as Tom threw the knife into Krycek's body again and again, over and over again, until Alex finally slunked down. Tom stood up and looked at Alex and over to Scully. She watched as he stepped toward her and she watched him, he frowned at the blood he had on his shirt and looked at her again.
"Beyond the sea," he whispered as he plunged the knife into his chest and fell to the ground. The doctor part of her wanted to make sure he was all right, but the human side wanted to watch him die for what he had just done.
"Alex!" she screamed out when she regained control over her body and through the pain she now felt, ran to his body. She sat down as she pulled his body into her lap as she looked into his glazing eyes.
"Alex, oh God, Alex," she whispered through the tears that she felt begin to fall from her eyes and land on his cheek which was now covered with blood.
"Dana, I love-" he whispered as she watched him mouth the final word and gently close his eyes.
"No, you can't, you can't leave, no, Alex, no," she rambled as she grabbed the blanket from the bed and applied pressure to two of the many wounds. She couldn't think straight, she couldn't find the main wounds that were causing him to die, the slashes that where releasing the blood she now felt covering her body.
"I'll never leave you, I promise," he mouthed more then he said and Scully watched as he took a deep breath and let it out. She waited for him to pull in another breath as seconds turned to moments and moments turned to minuets. Through her now falling tears, she kissed his forehead and hugged his now lifeless body as she put it down and smelt the jacket he had put on her earlier. She could still smell him as clearly as she had weeks and even minuets before.
"I love you, Alex," she whispered as she stood up and tried to find a radio or something to call to the shore. She didn't care if she would be killed, she just didn't care anymore, Alex was dead and Mulder would never speak to her again. She no longer had a past, a home, or a lover.
She was apart of an elaborate conspiracy, she could see that now, an elaborate conspiracy against her and the American people. Of course Mulder had known that for years, and he had said it almost everyday, she just never believed him, it had never happened to her, hardly anything had happened to her, except for Melissa's death and now Alex's. She sighed as the memories rushed over her body and she found the radio. Scully sighed as she picked it up and hoped that trying to start over would be worth it, would be right, would be what Alex wanted.
"I'll never leave you, Alex, I promise," she whispered through the tears as she looked at the ring he had slipped on her hand that morning. She changed through the frequencies as she tried to find a home, somewhere where she could start again. She'd call Mulder, have him come with her, maybe he could be apart of her heart someday, but there would always be a special place in her heart, for Alex Krycek.

Krycek nodded as he hesitantly put the phone down and looked toward the bedroom. He nodded to himself as he hesitantly stood up and walked toward it. They needed to leave, and soon.
Scully felt Krycek kiss her lips gently. It brought back memories from weeks ago when he had kissed her for the first time. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled.
"You're here."
"I told you I'd never leave you, it would take a lot more to shake me," he said with a smile as he watched her flash one of those rare, but beautiful smiles.
"Dana, I just got a phone call, we gotta go."
"Where?"
"Away, I don't know where yet, but we have to go now."
"What's going on?"
"Their about to exhume your grave," he said as he looked at the clock that sat on the wall.
"It's been a few weeks, Alex, Did you put a body in the coffin?"
"Yes, but they'll do dental records, I've seen it before, we can't fool them much longer."
"Let's go," she said as she sat up and began to gather her scattered clothes. She put them on as she quickly ran her fingers through her hair and followed Krycek to the living room. He quickly picked up the ring, necklace and burnt piece of lace.
"Dana, I want you to wear the ring," he said as she reached into the closet and grabbed their disguises from the first time they had gone out.
"Sure," she said as she walked over to him and allowed him to slip the ring onto her finger.
"Thank you," she whispered as she kissed him and pulled back. She handed him his coat and hat as she slipped hers on and put her hair into it.
"Alex, if they do find out my body isn't real, as weird as that sounds, would they tell anyone?"
"It would be scandalous if they let it out, I'm not sure if it would be in their best interest if they did." She nodded and he grabbed her hand. She took it as they ran for the door and down the hall to the stairs that led to the back way out.

They stopped running after Krycek quickly ducked into an alley with Scully.
"Krycek, we-"
"Say Good-bye Scully, you need to say good-bye to Mulder."
Scully looked up and realized they where standing outside of his building.
"Alex, we-"
"You will regret it if you don't, trust me."
"I trust you," she whispered as they entered the apartment building through the back.

Scully held on to Krycek's hand as they stood outside of apartment 42.
She held her breath as she knocked on his door and listened to a hushed voice and the locks turn quickly. She stood there as the door opened slightly and Mulder peaked his head through slightly.
"No..."
"Yes," Scully whispered quietly as Mulder stared at her, his eyes unmoving, unblinking.
"Oh God, Scully! I had the worst dream, you where gone, dead, and-" he stopped as he noticed her hand was connected to someone else. She held Krycek's hand and it trembled slightly.
"Who are you?"
"A friend," he replied back quietly, thankful he had worn the sunglasses. They needed to leave soon, but he wasn't willing to destroy her last moments with Mulder.
"Agent Mulder?" a voice called from the apartment as Mulder swung the door open more and revealed Skinner.
"Agent Scully!?" he said, his voice more surprised then anything else.
"Sir," she said, but it came out as only more then a croak from her throat.
"Mulder, Sir, I-I have to go, but I never got to say good-bye, so this is my good-bye," she said quietly as she looked at her watch and realized they'd be about 2 feet into the ground by then.
"Scully, you are NOT going anywhere!" Mulder said as he walked toward her and grabbed her wrist away from Krycek's hand.
"Mulder, this is not up to you to decide, the Smoking man wants my life, and he thought he had it, but he was fooled. Everyone was fooled apparently. I am alive, but barely. I will die if I stay here, I have to go."
"Then I'm going with you."
"No, Mulder, if you leave, they'll know."
"They'll know anyway, I might as well make sure you're safe," he said as he began to pull her to the door.
"Mulder! What do you think I'm here for?" Krycek asked as he stepped forward and wished he had thought about it and realized this would be very hard on Mulder and Scully.
"Who are you? I want an answer!"
"A dear friend, who won't let her get hurt, ever." He said as he looked at Skinner and back to Mulder.
"Mulder, just say good-bye and let me leave," she said as she freed her wrist from his hand.
"Agent Scully, I cannot allow you-"
"Skinner, I have to go. Now." She said as she looked toward the stairs and nodded.
"Scully, I cannot allow you to do this," Mulder said quietly as she looked at him and sighed.
"I have to, Mulder, Good-bye Mulder, Good-bye Sir," she said as she grabbed Krycek's hand and began to walk down the hall. Mulder began to run after them but Skinner quickly grabbed him and held him back. Mulder watched helplessly as Scully ran down the hall and away from his life forever.

Scully looked toward the building as they quickly ran down the street and to the pier nearby.
"It was hard," she whispered as he nodded and looked at her.
"But do you feel better?" he asked as she nodded.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well, I think we'll take a ship out of DC and go somewhere else, we'll then go to the airport and fly away from here, somewhere, I'm not sure where yet, we'll talk about that on the ship, and I guess start a life," he said as they quickly crossed a street and saw the pier within sight. They quickly walked the rest of the way as Krycek led her to a dock and signaled to a man.
"Hey!" he called out as the man looked up and smiled slightly.
"Hey! It's been too long! What's going on?"
"Too much," Krycek said as he walked toward him, still holding Scully's hand, and began to speak quickly in Russian. The man nodded several times and looked to Scully twice.
"A port in North Carolina," he said quietly as Krycek nodded and looked toward Scully.
"We're going to North Carolina, this is a friend of mine, his name is Tom. Tom, this is Dana," he said as she nodded to him and looked back to Krycek.
"Can we trust him?"
"With our lives," he said as he realized that was what they where doing, but he shook the feeling.
"We cast off in ten minuets," Tom said as Krycek and Scully looked up and nodded.
"I'll show you to the washrooms," Krycek said as he held her hand and they walked along the pier. He realized Scully wasn't very nervous about the small fishing boat or the fact that North Carolina was a while away.

Scully felt Krycek's hand around her waist as they lay in the dark cabin. She also felt the heavy wool blanket drape over them as she felt his warm breathing on her neck. She sighed quietly while she heard him whisper something to her.
"Alex?" she whispered so quietly, she wondered if he even heard her.
"Just a prayer," he replied in a hushed voice and she nodded.
"Ya Tibia Lyublyu," he whispered in a husky whisper into her ear. She blinked and waited for a response. She knew he couldn't see her and she couldn't see him either.
"I love you," he said quietly as she smiled and turned her head slightly as she kissed him gently.
They both stopped dead when they heard the cabin door open and shut quickly. Scully held her breath and squeezed Krycek's hand.
"We've been off port for half an hour now, you can come on out," Tom said quietly as Krycek and Scully felt the blanket slowly lifted off their body's and the cool quickly rushed in. Tom smiled slightly as he looked at them and knew everything. He could tell by the way Krycek looked at Dana that he was in love. It appeared that Dana was in love with him too, just not as open to emotions.
"Thank you," Scully said quietly as she sat up and blushed slightly at her current position with Krycek.
"I owe Krycek, he saved my life once."
"Really?"
"Honest to God!"
"Alex, you'll have to tell me that story someday," Scully said as she turned her head back and faced Krycek, who was now sitting up behind her.
"I'll have to tell you a lot of things someday," he said in a lowered voice as Tom got the message and smiled.
"Well, I'm gonna go check around deck, you guys just hang out here," Tom said in a hushed voice as he stepped out the door and locked the door.
"Scully."
"Yes?"
"The ring, I really want you to wear it," he said as he lifted up her left hand slightly and looked at how it complimented her skin perfectly.
"It is gorgeous, but I couldn't, it's yours," she said quietly as he kissed her neck gently. She smiled and let out a gasp as he nipped at her ear.
"Ours."
"What?"
"A promise ring, promise me you'll stay with me because I promise to stay with you, Scully, promise me you'll-"
"I promise, I was serious, Alex, I'm not going to leave you, It's just you and me," she said as she held his hands and looked at him.
Scully looked around the room quickly and wondered what the day was.
"Do you know what today is?" she asked quietly as he thought about it.
"I think it's February 23rd, but I could be a few days off, I never did get a calendar for my apartment, why?"
"Oh, no reason," she said quietly as she shivered slightly.
"It's cold in here," Krycek said as he pulled off his leather jacket and slipped it on Scully.
"Thank you."
"No, thank you."
"God, how sappy are we?" She asked as they both burst out laughing at how the ice that once rested around and in them had melted and left only water at their feet and it was quickly running into the ocean.

Scully opened her eyes slightly as she heard banging on the door. She and Krycek had fallen asleep and had lost track of the time. She shrugged off the sleep as she sat up and walked to the door. Dana stopped as she heard the banging increase as she reached her hand to the door, but felt her body being thrown against the back wall as Tom broke down the door. She watched as Tom looked at her and quickly moved his eyes to Krycek who was now awake and standing next to the bed.
"Tom? What's going on?"
"You! You fucking bastard!" Tom screamed as he pulled out a knife from his boot's rim and lunged toward Alex. Krycek quickly ducked but felt the knife drive into his collar bone. He screamed out as he fell down and kicked Tom in the stomach.
"Dana, Go!" Krycek yelled as she tried to force herself to wake back up and to find something to hurt Tom, to save Alex, to stop the fear and the anger she felt weld up in her body.
She slumped against the wall and watched the two men wrestle as Tom threw the knife into Krycek's body again and again, over and over again, until Alex finally slunked down. Tom stood up and looked at Alex and over to Scully. She watched as he stepped toward her and she watched him, he frowned at the blood he had on his shirt and looked at her again.
"Beyond the sea," he whispered as he plunged the knife into his chest and fell to the ground. The doctor part of her wanted to make sure he was all right, but the human side wanted to watch him die for what he had just done.
"Alex!" she screamed out when she regained control over her body and through the pain she now felt, ran to his body. She sat down as she pulled his body into her lap as she looked into his glazing eyes.
"Alex, oh God, Alex," she whispered through the tears that she felt begin to fall from her eyes and land on his cheek which was now covered with blood.
"Dana, I love-" he whispered as she watched him mouth the final word and gently close his eyes.
"No, you can't, you can't leave, no, Alex, no," she rambled as she grabbed the blanket from the bed and applied pressure to two of the many wounds. She couldn't think straight, she couldn't find the main wounds that were causing him to die, the slashes that where releasing the blood she now felt covering her body.
"I'll never leave you, I promise," he mouthed more then he said and Scully watched as he took a deep breath and let it out. She waited for him to pull in another breath as seconds turned to moments and moments turned to minuets. Through her now falling tears, she kissed his forehead and hugged his now lifeless body as she put it down and smelt the jacket he had put on her earlier. She could still smell him as clearly as she had weeks and even minuets before.
"I love you, Alex," she whispered as she stood up and tried to find a radio or something to call to the shore. She didn't care if she would be killed, she just didn't care anymore, Alex was dead and Mulder would never speak to her again. She no longer had a past, a home, or a lover.
She was apart of an elaborate conspiracy, she could see that now, an elaborate conspiracy against her and the American people. Of course Mulder had known that for years, and he had said it almost everyday, she just never believed him, it had never happened to her, hardly anything had happened to her, except for Melissa's death and now Alex's. She sighed as the memories rushed over her body and she found the radio. Scully sighed as she picked it up and hoped that trying to start over would be worth it, would be right, would be what Alex wanted.
"I'll never leave you, Alex, I promise," she whispered through the tears as she looked at the ring he had slipped on her hand that morning. She changed through the frequencies as she tried to find a home, somewhere where she could start again. She'd call Mulder, have him come with her, maybe he could be apart of her heart someday, but there would always be a special place in her heart, for Alex Krycek.
