Hope side Hospital

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

and I've held your hand through all of these years

but you still have all of me

Fox Mulder sat in the dark waiting room; he had tried to call Dana 3 times before he dialled the ambulance. He had given the hospital Dana's number and was expecting her there any minute, "I'm looking for Margaret Scully" that was her voice. He wanted out of the room but there was no way out apart from the door that she would be led through in a matter of seconds "Can you tell me what is wrong with her?" something was mumbled by the man "OK, I'll speak to the doctor" with that the door was open. Dana Scully had entered the room she took a look around and turned on the light "Mulder! What are you doing here?" Mulder looked at the floor "I was waiting 'til you got here" he got up and walked towards the door "I tried to call" with that he left.

Walter Skinner was standing beside Dana Scully "You know I would be happy to tear up your transfer request" he took out the piece of paper and gave it to her "Skinner, why haven't you put that in the request file? If you still have that then I'm not even officially going to Salt Lake City?" Skinner nodded "I thought you and Mulder would be talking by now. I held on to it, I would have hated it if you had handed it in on a whim and then regretted it." Looked from Skinner to the floor "Was that Mulder's idea?" She was slightly angry now "No, this was my way of trying to keep you two together. I don't want to see it end like this. It's not supposed to be like this, It shouldn't be like this" Dana stood up "I have given up my apartment! What for?" Skinner looked at her "No, I made arrangements. Your lease has been renewed; everything is fine. The only things you have to worry about are your Mother and Mulder!"

It was early afternoon before Mulder had gone to the hospital; he looked into the room to make sure that Dana wasn't there. He was in no mood for a fight especially in the hospital. He set the carnations down on the table and spoke to Maggie for a while, being careful about how long he was there, he left after half an hour. As he left he saw Scully's transfer request form laying on the table beside Maggie, Mulder's mind was full of questions and only one person could answer them. He took the piece of paper and left the room.

Dana had returned about an hour after Mulder left, the carnations were lying on the table and there was a card too. Carnations were Mulder's choice of flower and she should know she had often got a bunch or two while in hospital, she picked them up and put them in the vase with the flowers she had brought earlier. She sat with her Mother until visiting hours were over, Maggie should have been awake by now the heart trouble wasn't serious there was no sign of an attack and other than that nothing was wrong physically.
