            Scully sat in bed, reading one of the magazines Monica had brought her. Monica usually spent more time in her room, talking than outside guarding the door. But that day, she had to check up with Skinner. John was there but he was going for a quick coffee run. Nothing had happened in the last month so they were a little less wary about security. She was waiting for the nurse and Monica to accompany her for her afternoon walk.

            "Hello Dana."

            She froze. Rob!

            "Yes," he said, walking inside. "I must say, you're husband's friends made it quite difficult to get in here.

            "G-go away!" she said, trembling in fear, her hand placed over protectively around her belly.

            "I don't think so," he said, walking even closer. "I like it here and I don't feel like leaving."

            Dana scrambled, trying to get as far away from him as she could.

            "There's no need to be scared, Dana. The bastard is gone. I'm here now," he told her.

            "G-get away from me!" she shouted. Fear filled her eyes. She was desperately trying to get away from him. "Ah!" she exclaimed suddenly as pain shot through her belly. "Nurse! Nurse!"

            John and Betty rushed in, looking around wildly. John ran over to Rob and began cuffing him.

            "What's wrong?" Betty demanded at Scully's pained look.

            "My babies!" she said, looking at the sheets, the bloody sheets.
