AUTHORS NOTE: I was extremely suprised that no one noticed this is just like the charmed episode until now. Congratulations Samantha! I know I took it from Charmed but I love that episode and when I was trying to come up with a story for the challenge that instantly came into my head!

DOGGETT POV
****************
I couldn't believe what they had done to Monica. They had made her think everything was a lie. That everything she believed to be true was just insanity. I don't know if they got what they wanted from her. I will have to ask her when the doctors says she okay to talk. I was in the waiting room of the hospital. I had been waiting for about half an hour. Mulder and Scully had stayed behind to help Skinner arrest everyone involved.

Mr Doggett? I look up and see a doctor standing at the door.

How is she?

Follow me. I follow him out the room and walk beside him as he leads me to Monica's room. He talks while we walk. Ms Reyes is fine. Extremely tired. Dehydrated. A little bruised and is very confused.

She will okay though, right?

She'll be fine with a little time. We are were now standing outside Monica's hospital room.

How long until I can take her home?

I want to keep her in over night, to re-hydrate her and make sure there are no other affects of whatever it was that was done to her.

Thank you Doctor. He leaves and I enter the room. She's asleep. She looks peaceful. I sit on the chair next to her bed and take her hand in both of mine. Everything I have felt over the past 24 hours hits me. I nearly lost her. She was taken away from me. I didn't do a thing to prevent it. I didn't protect her like I promised her I would. I didn't do a damn thing to stop it. Tears silently ran down my cheeks.

I heard her sigh. I looked at her face and her eyes fluttering open and then her focusing on me. I couldn't help but burst into tears. She reached for me and pulled me to her. I was leaning over her bed. Her arms wrapped around me and mine around her. We both cried. We cried for a long time. I don't know how long it was until we pulled apart. I just know it was a long time. I pulled back and looked in her eyes. Looked at her. God how much I had missed her. I lean forwards and gently place my lips on hers. Its soft and gentle. Silently telling her how I feel and how much I love her. I pulled back and saw that she felt the same. No words were spoken between us. We didn't need to speak to communicate. As I sat back down in my seat she gently drifted into a well deserved sleep.

REYES POV
****************
Before I opened my eyes for the second time since coming to the hospital I knew who was in the room. John, Lana and Mulder. I opened my eyes and saw all three of them. Mulder saw me and smiled a huge grin.

Welcome back to the land of the living sleepy head. He smiled.

Thanks Mulder. I laugh.

Look who came to see you. John said and nodded down to the little girl in his arms. Lana giggled and reached out for me. Mulder helped me sit up and then I took Lana into my arms.

Hey there sweetheart. I've missed you. Where you a good girl?

She sure was. William loved playing with her and she loved it as well. I smile at the mental image that gave me, I tried to stifle a yawn but couldn't stop it. I was so tired.

I think I should go and let you guys talk. Lana can stay with us tonight. William will love that. I kissed Lana's little temple and handed her to Mulder, who waved his good byes and left the room for the night. John turned to look at me and I smiled at his. He took my hand in his.

How are you feeling?

Better. A little tired but other than that fine. I reassure him with a squeeze of his hand.

I need to ask you. You can talk to me about anything you know that. What did they do to you? My smile faded, I looked away from him as I found my words.

They made me believe everything was a lie. You were there and telling me if I let the doctors help me we could be a family. They convinced me that this world wasn't real, that I had imagined it.

Oh God Monica. I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner.

Its not your fault. I don't blame you.

We got information saying that they wanted some information from you. A code or hidden object.

Just before you got me out, I was talking to the doctor, he was giving me some memories back and I saw Bill Mulder place some files in a safe that was hidden. The doctor told me to tell him where it was.

And did you?

No. Any longer and I may have. We where silent for a few moments.

Monica I want to ask you something I've never asked you before and I probably should have asked you this a long time ago.

Okay. Should I be worried?

No, at least I don't think so. He helped me so I was sitting straight up with my legs and feet hanging of the side of the bed. He looked so nervous. He took a deep breath and I watched him get down on one knee. Oh my god. Was he about to do what I think he is? No, he hasn't given any sign that he wants this. He never mentioned becoming more committed. I watched in amassment as he reached into his jacket pocket.

Monica. I love you with everything that I am. Ever since I met you I was drawn to you. I couldn't forget about you even if I tried. And I know that I will never feel this way about anyone ever again. Monica, will you marry me? I gasp as he produced the most beautiful ring in a gorgeous little blue box.

Yes, of course. He slipped the ring on my finger and placed his lips on mine. I opened up instantly. I couldn't believe he wants to marry me. I was prepared to just be boyfriend and girlfriend for the rest of our lives. Only in my dreams had we ever been husband and wife. Now those dreams were becoming reality. We didn't speak as he laid down behind me and wrapped his arms around me. Spooned together, we fell into a peaceful sleep.
