Scully was happy today was the day she was getting out. Freedom was not the only thing running through her mind though. When she got out, she had decided to go to room 230 and see this Fox to see if it was Mulder. A nurse came in with a kind of sad and worried face.

"What's wrong?"

The nurse looked up.

"Oh, you're fine. You're going home today."

"Then what's wrong?"

"Nothing." The nurse plastered on a fake smile. "Let's get those papers signed."

When Scully was signing the papers however she could not help but over hear some conversation between the nurses.

"Poor Fox, no one there for him."

"Is he still in surgery?" Scully strained to hear more of the conversation.

"He got out about an hour ago still hasn't woken up since he got here though. He is in ICU still."

"They were going to remove him as soon as he woke up..."

"But now he can't even breathe on his own."

Scully walked up to one of the nurses and smiled after handing her the papers.

"I couldn't help over hearing and uhm...I know this is sill and he probably isn't who I think..."

One of the nurses looked confused.

"What's wrong dear?"

"Well you know that man in room 230, Fox? Well his last name... it wouldn't.. be M-Mulder would it?" Scully was almost afraid of the answer.

"How did you know?" Scully felt a lump form in her throat as her eyes grew wide and she couldn't speak.

"W-w-where?"

"Where what? Miss are you okay?" The other nurse was just as concerned. Also was hoping they had found him a friend or relative that would sit with him.

"You know him? Do you want to see him?" Scully nodded her head unable to find her voice.

She walked in and heard nothing but the beeping of machines. She went to his side and grabbed his hand. The nurses smiled that someone had finally been there for him.

"Maybe now he will fight." Scully looked up she had forgotten the nurses were there. She was also confused by what the one said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well Mr. Mulder...he's not even trying...it's as if he WANTS to die" The nurses walked out after another came down and yelled that room 210 had an accident.

Scully's eyes had been filled with tears just bursting to spill over.

"Mulder? Can you hear me? You gotta fight this Mulder. You just have to. You saved my life, Mom told me it was you. I wanna get a chance to thank you. Please Mulder, you can't leave me...I'm not ready to let you go." Scully was crying as hard as ever, but managed to find a seat next to his bed. She fell asleep holding his hand.
