They had been driving what seemed like hours until they reached his
apartment, hoping that he still lived there. Gathering up her courage she
grabbed Sam and knocked on his door. Eventually a drunken looking man came
to answer her.
"What?"
"Mulder, we need to talk."
"I don't know you so get the fuck off my property."
"Please just give me a chance. I am Dana Scully, we, we used to work together in a parallel universe." Then thinking of what she just said, "And I am probably more sober than you. Please take a ride with me. I need your help. Please." But it wasn't working. He was about to shut the door in their faces. But then Sam spoke,
"Mulder, do you ever wonder what would've happened had you chosen to stake everything and search for your sister?"
He stopped dead in his tracks, "How did you know about that?"
"Come take a ride."
So they had all piled up in the car, and Mulder started telling them his dreams and his thoughts,
"Sometimes I just feel so alone. I would've kept going but I, I just couldn't. I guess I was really afraid of agent-" he paused, "of you! I was afraid you would debunk me and I would never find the truth."
Scully couldn't speak. It was all too confusing. She hadn't ever been an agent according to this life. But then how did he know about her? She shook it off.
"I wish I hadn't rejected the offer though. I just feel like a loser now. The only relief I have is goin' to the bar, getting drunk and pickin' up a chick or two."
But now Scully decided to explain herself. "I just woke up this morning pregnant, married and unemployed. When last night I was a single FBI agent in love with you." Realizing what she had said, her hand instantly rose to her mouth and she looked at him. But he was looking out the window.
"Now this is just my opinion, but I think Mulder loved you too." He brushed the hair out of her eyes and stared at her for a long time. "You are a very beautiful woman Dana."
"What?"
"Mulder, we need to talk."
"I don't know you so get the fuck off my property."
"Please just give me a chance. I am Dana Scully, we, we used to work together in a parallel universe." Then thinking of what she just said, "And I am probably more sober than you.
