Scully was proud of herself for finally reaching a decision, but at the
same time disappointed at herself for giving up. She took one last longing
look at Mulder before looking up at the doctor and waiting for the nod. It
felt like an eternity, but it was really only a few seconds. He looked up
and gave a slight nod to Scully and her hand began to move towards to
machine. She stopped and watched her hand tremble in mid-air, then turned
back to Mulder. Sweat was forming on her forehead and she used her other
hand to quickly wipe it away. She inched her hand closer but it still shook
like crazy. She once again used her other hand to wipe at her face trying
to make it look like she was just wiping some more sweat away. However, she
knew her real purpose was to wipe away the tears that were obscuring her
vision. She blinked her eyes once and then returned her vision to Mulder.
Her hand trembled closer to its destination and she sucked in a deep
breath. Her other hand found its way to Mulder's face as she cupped his
cheek. Her eyes never leaving his wonderful beautiful face, her hand
finally reached its destination. She watched as his chest rose and fell for
the last time. The machine counted out two more beats of his heart before
falling into a steady hum. The Doctor grabbed Mulder's wrist and all was
silent. The air was thick and Scully felt as if a year had passed when
finally he looked into her eyes with a cloudy look on his face.
Even he had seen the love between these two through the few days Mulder had occupied this bed. He saw the tender looks and he saw how she hadn't even left the hospital since he got here. He looked up into Scully's watery eyes to deliver the news that he was sure she already knew. He tried not to let the emotion show in his voice too much but he couldn't help it.
"H-H-He's g-gone..."
Scully felt as though someone had reached up into her chest and pulled her heart out. Her stomach, meanwhile, hit the floor and she felt as if her lunch would reveal itself. Her legs trembled beneath her and she wasn't so sure she would be able to hold herself up much longer. She felt a reassuring had press against her shoulder, but she brushed it away a little more harshly then intended. She felt hot tears pool in her eyes until they stung and finally she let them go. They flowed down her face as if they would never stop. She didn't even bother to wipe them away because she knew even if she did there would be more. She bent down and Kissed Mulder's already cooling cheek and whispered silently.
"...you are my constant..."
Doctor McQuade pulled the sheet over Mulder's head and that's when Scully knew... it was finally over.
