Disclaimer: I think after four chapters you get the point but anyway,
Anybody actually in and episode of The X-Files belongs to Chris Carter not
me. Very unfortunate that. But the nice girl at the hospital, Kylie Parker
and anyone related to Monica that hasn't been mentioned on the show belong
to me! Unfortunately I don't think they'll get me anywhere in life but
here's hoping. LOL.
The room was quiet. Hospitals were known for their quietness. But this room was too quiet. Monica pushed the door open and walked into the white hospital room. It was extremely white. You couldn't get any whiter than the things in that room. It was, well, white. Dana walked to the end of the bed and picked up the clipboard. "What does it say Dana?" Monica was looking at Kylie lying unconscious in the bed. Dana looked over the medical notes. "It doesn't look good. She's lost a lot of blood." Monica nodded slowly. "Does it say anything about next of kin?" "Yeah, next of kin has been specified as her husband David. And it also says that if she needs a transfusion or anything like that, to contact the adoption centre." Kylie's breathing could be heard in the silence. Slow and steady. "And that's how they found me." Dana nodded and returned the clipboard. "Tell you what. You stay here and I'll go see if they contacted Kylie's husband. Do you want me to say that you're okay to give blood." Monica rubbed at her arm and nodded towards Dana.
"So they've just gone." Fox paced back and fourth across the lounge room. William and John just stared up at him. "No mention of why they went, they just did." John nodded. William copied his mother's signature eyebrow lift. He didn't understand what was happening. "Auntie Mon o bye-bye with mummy? Mummy say bye-bye Will. Auntie Mon say no bye-bye." The two men turned their attention to William. "Mummy said goodbye to you Will?" The child nodded and moved over to his plastic lunchbox full of cars. He squatted down and opened it. Inside were only two cars and a video. William picked it up, put it in Monica's video machine and switched on the TV.
********************************ON THE VIDEO************************************
"Hey Sweetie." Dana was on the screen in her usual travelling suit. "I'm going to be gone a few days, okay. I'm going with Auntie Mon. So she'll be looking after me just like you do. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone but I will come home as soon as I can. Tell Daddy and Uncle John that we have our mobiles if they need to call us. And remember not to tell anyone about the secret. I'll let you tell when I come back. I love you." Dana blew a kiss, stood up and turned off the camera. The screen flickered and then went back to normal. This time it showed Monica, not Dana.
"Hey Will, my little man. I'm sorry I've taken your mummy away with me, but I need her to help me with some family issues." Monica's smile seemed to light the whole room. "While we are gone you have to look after Uncle John for me. Don't forget to make sure he doesn't start thinking about the wedding and run off me. I love you Will, stay cool dude." She winked, and the screen went black.
**************************************************************************** ******* William turned off the TV and sat down on the floor. "What secret did mummy tell you Will?" Fox asked, crouching down next to the small boy. He simply brought his thumb and finger to his lips and acted as if pulling a zipper across his mouth. "No tell, Aunt Mon say I cool dude." His placed his hands on opposite arms to try to cross his arms and tossed his head back, trying his best to look cool. John sighed and walked over to the phone. "What are you doing?" Fox asked. "Dana said they have their phones, so I'm calling Mon." John dialled the number and placed the phone to his ear. "Yaya auntie Mon gonna talk on phone."
