Mulder raced around the hospital, finally reaching the office of this
Dr. Mezony.
"Dr. Mezony?"
A confused look was etched across the man's face.
"Yes?"
"You know my... my..."
He search his head for the right word to call Scully, but Emily cut him off.
"Hey! I know... (cough) you!"
It was Mulder's turn to be confused.
"Remember me? We met a few years ago... but I'm not any older..."
Dr. Mezony was taking his turn being confused again so Mulder cut in.
"She was a test subject to a new therapy for that newly developed disease."
Dr. Mezony shook his head as if he understood so Emily went back to happily explaining.
"Anyways! (cough) I met you before! (cough) Remember... he wasn't my daddy then though..."
Emily's face got sad and she coughed a bit more before continuing.
"I'm Emily Mul... Sims..."
Mulder hadn't noticed WHEN she started doing this but she started referring to herself as a Mulder. He figured she just wanted to fit in, considering everyone thought of Scully a "Mulder" by now.
"Ahh... yes little Emily Sims... last time I saw you, you were a very sick little girl... everyone thought you would..."
Mulder could sense Emily's discomfort so he cut in.
"Well, we think she's sick again."
"So what can I do?"
"Well you know her mother and..."
"His wife."
Emily smiled up at him knowing that he never would have said that. She giggled a little and then coughed some more.
"Well... anyways Scu... I mean Dana thought maybe you would be willing to help us... see Emily is still a sick little girl but only because of these implants. You can run tests if you honestly don't believe me, but I must warn you..."
Mulder dropped his voice and covered Emily's ears as she coughed and squirmed to get away.
"... she will die in twenty-four hours if they are not removed."
"Why? Well... What's in them? And where are they?"
"It's a toxin that will begin spreading throughout her whole body in twenty-four hours if not removed."
"Why twenty-four hours?"
"Because that's when her little sister will be born."
The doctor looked confused. Mulder mentally crossed his fingers and prayed.
"So where are they?"
"What?"
"The tumors?"
"One each... in the base of her heels."
"I think we can do this."
Mulder picked up Emily and spun her around. He was trying not to count his chickens before they hatched, but he couldn't help it. He felt everything falling into place.
