Chapter Six

A few days passed by without any proper mention of William. Each and every time Scully tried to explain to them, Aimee and Helene would turn their music up louder or walk out of the room. This led to many more tears shed from their mother. The only new thing to take place in that short space of time was that Angelle had found herself a boyfriend. She busied herself by gushing over him to the only pair who would at least pretend to listen - Aimee and Helene. John Doggett, being the typical father, was not impressed by his daughter's news. It led to quite a few arguments in which John would shout reasons for her not to have a boyfriend; such as her studies, her age, etc, etc. And each time she screamed back at him, until he realized he was not going to win this one and hesitantly agreed to invite him round for dinner so that he could meet him.

Monica and Scully shared the preparation of this meal, and a long table had been set in the hallway of the Mulder residence. A stone-faced John sat at one end of the table with Mulder on one side next to him. Monica sat at the other end of the table with the twins to her left and Jonathon to her right. Kiara took a seat next to Jonathon and Scully sat down to join Mulder once they had set the assortment of food on the table.

After a long silence, Angelle came home with her arm linked through her boyfriend's. Angelle took the seat next to her father, and the boy sat next to her. He smiled nervously, scanning the occupants around the table and let his eyes rest on Scully just as Kiara's came to rest on him. He gazed fixedly at her blue eyes and her auburn hair. Kiara stared at him too, looking into blue eyes that could have been her mothers, his nose was a replica of Scully's too, but he had a mouth the same shape as Mulder's and he had the same dark hair.

"So..." John began, "Where is it you're from, er ... what's your name?"

"The name's William ... William Van de Kamp, from the US."

"Whereabouts in the US?" John asked gruffly

"Well my family had a farm in Montana when they adopted me."

Kiara gave a small cry of triumph - that went unnoticed as she quickly turned it into a hacking cough. Scully patted her on the back as she pretended to choke.

"Mom?" she gave another loud cough, "Can you get me some water?"

"Sure, honey, you okay?"

Kiara nodded and followed Scully into the kitchen.

"Mommy ... You know that dream I had about your William?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Well ... he lived on a farm, and he looked like that William," She said jabbing a thumb toward the hall, "Do you think it could be him?"

"I don't know sweetie, but I'm not going to ask him!"

"Why not?"

"Because, he might not want to find me."

"But in my dream, he said he did!"

"Kiara, drop it. I'm warning you now, don't you dare say a word!"

They walked back toward the table and took their seats just as John was asking ...

"So, William, what brings you to Scotland?"

William hesitated, glancing at Scully, and he thought 'What if she doesn't want me to find her?'. Scully was beginning to get her hopes up, upon further observation of his features, she realized that William did look an awful lot like her. After what seemed an age, he took a deep breath and said,

"Well, when my 'mom' and 'dad' admitted that I was adopted the day I turned sixteen, I told them I wanted to find my birth mother. I traced a woman .. Maggie ... back in the US and she told me my mother was in Scotland. But she wouldn't give me specifics, said something about starting afresh away from all the hassle that came with her job. I didn't find out what her job was though ... I know very little about her - just that her name's Scully. "

The woman in question uttered a gasp and almost toppled off her chair in shock, she covered it up by acting as though she was looking for a dropped fork - yes she had got her hopes up, but that was only wishful thinking ... until now.

Kiara whispered, "Told you so!" beside Scully who had recomposed herself and was staring into the blue eyes of William.

"You know," he began, "You look a lot like the woman in my dream, the woman I believe to be my birth mother."
