Chapter Five

A Few Days Later

Scully had been visiting the hospital while Mulder looked after the twins. John still couldn't bring himself to go and see his daughter hooked up to the machines. Scully left when it had gotten dark, leaving Monica sleeping beside her daughter's bed, holding onto her tiny hand, as usual. When she got back to their apartment, she found her children asleep in their room and John was sitting at the kitchen table with Mulder, looking more distraught than ever. As soon as he realized who had walked through the door, he jumped up.

"Dana, is she any better?"

"Angelle is still on life-support to help her breathe, she hasn't shown any signs of waking up and Monica is staying with her again at the hospital."

"She is gonna be okay, right?"

"I honestly couldn't tell you, right now we just have to wait and see."

"But we've already been waiting for ages

"I know, John, and nothing's changed. Except that her lungs are getting stronger."

He slumped back down onto the wooden chair then laid his head on top of his arms and cried - half in grief and half in relief. Mulder got up and helped Scully with the drunken Doggett, taking him back to his own apartment for some rest.

"He's gonna pay for that in the morning!"

"So are you, Mulder."

"I didn't drink nearly as much as he did!"

"Whatever, I'm going to bed."

"Don't you wanna eat something first"

"I'm not hungry, just exhausted."

Mulder fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow but Scully couldn't get to sleep at all. She lay staring at the ceiling, thinking about Angelle. She knows how much pain comes with losing a child and prayed, for the first time in years, for Angelle to pull through. At last she closed her eyes and slept.

The shrill ringing of the phone woke them at 6am. Scully got up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Dana, it's me, can you come down to the hospital and bring John?"

"Why, what's happened? Is something wrong?"

"It's not Angelle, um, my waters have just broken..."

"I'll be there as soon as I can."

She hung up the phone and got dressed, leaving Mulder asleep. She pounded on John's door until he got up to open it.

"Dana? What's wrong?"

"Monica's gone into labor."

His jaw dropped and he rushed to get some clothes on, flinging a coat over his shoulders, he quickly followed Scully downstairs to the car.

Scully was there to hold Monica's hand as the contractions tore through her body and John sat with his daughter, willing her to open her eyes.

"Please wake up, sweetheart, you've got a baby brother to meet soon, you don't want to miss that do you? Wake up, Angelle, please."
