Sisters
Rianna packed up the rest of her clothes and possessions. Some she locked in the trunk of her car, which would be taken to Washington within a week.
Scully came into her room. "Did you book our flight?"
"Yeah. The plane leaves at four so we need to go in a couple minutes," Rianna told her. She sat on one of her suitcases, trying to get it closed. She bounced up and down on it but it still refused to shut.
Scully watched, amused.
"Are you going to watch or help me?" Rianna asked.
Scully plopped down on the suitcase next to her. They started wiggling around, trying to get it shut.
Rianna and Scully laughed. "Maybe I tried to put too much stuff in here," Rianna said.
"I think you did," Scully giggled.
Mulder walked in when he heard them laughing. He rolled his eyes when he saw them. "Women." He pulled them off the suitcase and sat on it himself. Then he struggled for a minute before he finally got it closed.
Scully looked down at her shoes and held up her hand to hind her smile.
"If you two are ready and Rianna has all f her suitcases packed, I think we need to hit the road," Mulder said.

Mulder and Scully slept through most of the flight but Rianna was too nervous to sleep. She looked over at them. Mulder's right arm was around Scully's shoulders. His left hand covered Scully's on the armrest between them. Her head lolled on his shoulder.
Rianna smiled slightly at the sight of them together. It was obvious how in love they were to everyone but them.

"Why do you get the cart?" Mulder asked.
"Because I have six bags," Rianna answered. "And if you were pushing, you could put your bags on here." She grunted with the effort of pushing over 200 pounds of stuff.
"Uhn uh," Scully told her. "You already have a twisted ankle. We're not adding a strained back to that."
Rianna stopped and smiled sweetly at Mulder.
"Take my carry on at least," he said, getting the hint. Rianna slipped Mulder's bag over her shoulder and pulled her carry on off the cart to make room for his suitcase.
"I just realized something," Rianna said.
"What?" Scully asked.
"We have to travel with all of this on the Metro," Rianna told them. Mulder and Scully stared at her so she whipped out her cell phone. "Hello, Enterprise? I need to rent a car for a week starting today. I'd like a minivan. Okay, Reagan National Airport. Five minutes? I'll be waiting."

Rianna, Scully, and Mulder sat in one of the conference rooms with Dr. Shobocker.
"I ran some tests and did the comparison Agent Mulder requested," Dr. Shobocker told them. HE hung up a sheet of chromosomes. "This is Agent Heart's DNA. He hung up another, almost identical sheet. "And this is Agent Scully's DNA."
Scully and Rianna stared. "What does this mean?" Rianna asked.
"You're definitely related," Dr. Shobocker told them. "I'll need to run more tests but I'd say that you two are sisters."
Scully and Rianna kept staring.
"Are you sure?" Scully questioned.
"Yes," Dr. Shobocker said. "Even without more tests, I'm sure."
"So we're…" Rianna began.
"Sisters," Scully finished. "Thank you, doctor. I think we just need time to adjust and absorb this."
Rianna was still frozen with shock. Scully guided her out the door with a hand on her back. Then both of them collapsed against the wall.
"I think we're both in shock," Rianna said. "Wow. I have a sister."
"And I have a younger sister. I need to call mom," Scully replied. She pulled out her cell phone.

Maggie Scully's phone rang. She put down her book and picked up the handset. "Hello?" she answered.
"Hi Mom, it's Dana," Scully said on the other end.
"Hi Sweetheart," Mrs. Scully replied. "What's going on?"
"Are you sitting down?" Scully asked.
"Yes," Mrs. Scully answered, her brow furrowing slightly. "What's wrong?"
"Mom, you have another daughter," Scully told her. "Her name is Rianna Heart. She's my new partner and she looks almost exactly like me."
Mrs. Scully gulped. "What?"
"You have another daughter," Scully repeated.
"But- but they said they'd call if they ever used the embryo," Mrs. Scully said.
"What?" Scully questioned.
"Your father and I made a donation of eggs and sperm for infertile mothers who want children," Mrs. Scully explained.
"Oh. Well, she is here, Mom. She wants to meet you," Scully replied.
"I want to meet her too," Mrs. Scully said. "Bring her to dinner with you on Friday."
"Okay mom. I love you. See you on Friday," Scully said.
"Bye Honey," Mrs. Scully said. She hung up the phone and stared in shock.
Another daughter… Rianna… Partners… Dinner on Friday… Daughter… Rianna… Partners… Friday… Daughter… Rianna… Friday… Rianna… Friday… Rianna… Rianna…
