Once in the elevator Mulder set Alex Jr. down, turned to Scully and hugged her. He wiped her tears away and put her head on his chest.
"I know this is happy for you to find your son at last but, why are you crying because they don't look like happy tears. Did he hurt you?" He asked worried.
"No I'm fine. It's just hard to finally see him after all these years." She lied. She didn't want him to know that she was really crying over taking Krycek's child away from him. She couldn't help but still feel sorry for him, it seemed like he really loved Alex Jr. Maybe he loves her too. He just doesn't want to show it anymore because Mulder will kill him if he found out. They are enemies after all.
The doors opened up Mulder led them both out to the car and put little Alex in the back seat and buckled him up. Scully got in and started to dry her tears. They drive was quiet on the way back to the hotel. Well it was until Alex Jr. kept asking questions about this and that.
"Who is this mommy? Where are we going? Am I going to stay with you forever?" Alex asked curiously.
"Wow you're quite the chatter bug huh." Mulder said with a small chuckle. He turned to look at Scully and noticed she was quiet. "Scully, is anything wrong?"
"No, I'm just tired from all this excitement." She muttered.
They finally got back to the Motel. He got out of the car and let Alex out of the car. Scully was already out and heading towards Mulder's motel room.
"Scully come on we have to pack, you know he'll be coming to look for us. I'll get us some food for the road while you pack all our stuff, alright?" He asked her while opening up the motel door.
"Yeah, I'll get everything all gathered up. Hurry up though, ok Mulder?"
"I will."
He got in his car and started off. Scully turned around and took Alex by the hand and led him inside. She got Mulder's suitcase and put it on the bed, then walked around the room and put what ever in his suitcase. Once all his clothes were packed she headed towards her room, opening the connecting door and motioning for Alex to follow her into that room, she started to pack all of her stuff. Once she was all done she started to make small talk with Alex.
"So, how do you feel Alex, I mean it doesn't feel weird to be someone you don't know and you find out she's your mom?"
"Not really, my old parents always told me I was adopted. They beat me a lot, they hated me, didn't want me. So I'm happy to have a family that loves me."
"I lost you when you were a baby." She said breaking into tears and running over to him and hugging him. "Oh god, I've never cried this much in my whole life!" She laughed a bit while wiping her tears on her sleeves.
"You have me now." He wrapped his arms around her stomach. She put her arms on the back of his head.
Just then Mulder came in. "Hey, am I interrupting anything? I have the food in the car its all ready to be eaten while on the road. Is everything packed Scully?"
"Yes"
"Great, come on then. You two get in the car and I'll get all the bags." He said ushering them out.
Once in the car Mulder started the engine and started heading towards D.C. Music was played to keep Alex happy and not bored. Scully and Mulder kept talking to him until he fell asleep. That left Mulder to talk with Scully alone.
"Scully, be honest, what's bothering you?" He finally asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine, I'm just getting over shock is all."
"Alright, if you say so, well I guess I'll see you later Scully" He said as he drove up to her apartment. "Oh sorry I forgot there's a kid in the back, here let me take him up." He went in the back and unbuckled him, then picked him up in his arms.
Mulder followed Scully up to her Apartment and waited patiently as she opened her door.
"Just set him on the couch, I'll get him some blankets and pillows. Do you want something to eat?" She asked.
"Sure I'll go rustle up some grub while you go tuck the kid in."
"Sounds good to me" She started heading towards the hall closet. She came back into the living room holding a two blankets and 1 pillow. She saw Mulder eating a chicken sandwich sitting on the chair. "I brought the pillow and blanket for him, I thought maybe we could just sit and talk for awhile before you leave." She suggested holding up the blanket.
Mulder swallowed the last of his sandwich and said, "Sure thing Scully, let me throw this away first." He got up to throw away his paper plate. He came back and grabbed the blanket from Scully and wrapped it around the two. "So what exactly did you want to talk about Scully?" He asked leaning against the couch.
"About everything Mulder, about how I met him, what I did with him, what I felt about him, how you feel about me now. Mulder I don't know if you realize but I have a son now, a son that I thought was dead all these years." She finished.
"Scully I need you to understand that I don't hate you for not telling me about this, I can understand. It's just hard to believe that's all. And your right, I would like to hear your little story."
"Alright, I guess it all started at college I guess, I thought he was a snot, he thought I was a nerd. Didn't work to well those combinations, we ended up falling in love once we really got to know each other. We got married soon after we found out I was pregnant with Alex Jr. I still don't know if it was a good idea Mulder, that's what has been bothering me."
"What do you mean 'a good idea'?" He questioned.
"Well, marrying him, was it a good idea? I'm glad I got pregnant, but was it really a good idea to marry him? Maybe he is the way he is because I left him. We could have made it work, maybe if we tried."
"Scully, listen to what you're saying. Do you really think that you could have worked it out with Krycek? Yes you should be glad that you got pregnant but do you really want him to be his child?"
"That's what I wanted to talk about Mulder. I keep asking myself, 'is it really a good idea to keep his son away from him?'"
"Of course it is! Don't you know he's just tricking you?" He yelled.
"I have a feeling he's not, I saw it in his eyes it's the way he used to look at me when I made him upset when we were married. He was really hurt, I can't take him away. Besides I'll have to have a court session to have full custody on him. The judge might say he has a right to see his father."
"Yeah I'm sure the judge will say that he has a right to see his father who kills people and isn't afraid of it. If you bring him up they will use that against you Scully and you know it."
"I will tell them the truth that Krycek stole Alex Jr. from the family he was living with and we took him back. They can't take him away from his biological mother, and they won't bring him back if he was abused there."
"I guess your right. I'm going to be heading off now alright Scully? I think you need some time to think. So I'll see you tomorrow? It's Saturday after all. No aliens to chase." He winked.
"Alright Mulder," She started to get up. "I will see you tomorrow. Have a safe trip home bye." She said walking him to the door.
"I will good night Scully." He closed the door behind him.
Scully walked over and placed the blanket she was using over Alex Jr. So he wouldn't be cold during the night. She walked to her room and put on her night clothes, uncovered her bed sheets and got in and fell asleep.
A few hours later she awoke to knocks on her door. She looked at the clock. It read 2:32AM. She got out of bed before the person who was knocking wakes up her son. She walked in the living room and looked at Alex Jr. sound asleep. Scully looked through the peep hole and saw Alex Krycek standing there. Sliding the door chain from the lock she opened the door.
"Sorry I woke you up" Alex said sheepishly, "But I really had to talk to you."
"Come in, what are you doing here so lat- early?" She caught herself. "You really shouldn't be here"
"Dana please you can't do this to me. I need to see my son. You can't take him away from me, please. You know I can't take this to court Dana."
"I know I can't, I don't know what to do anymore. I thought I would never have to see you again after that night he was taken. Then you show up as Mulder and mine's enemies."
"I never wanted to hurt you Dana, I only wanted to get Mulder, not you. I still love you."
"You do?" She looked him in the eyes.
"Yes, I do, you're all I ever think about. Then I found Alex Jr. I thought this is it. This is the one thing that will keep me from killing again. I turned this way because of you Dana, I felt so much hatred in me that I needed to get it out I also wanted to find my son. If I join these people then I'll find my son, it didn't work for the longest time. I finally found him Dana and you're taking him away!" He had speckles of tears in his eyes.
"Alright, give me tonight to think this over Alex, Mulder's coming over tomorrow maybe after he leaves I'll call you and you can come over and we can talk."
"Alright"
"You'll come?"
"Yes, I have to go now Dana, please think about it. Remember I need you too." He brushed her cheek before closing the door behind him.
After that long talk she was finally about to go back to sleep. She turned around and went back into her room to go to sleep. She fell on the sheets and covered up. Sleep hit her instantly.
