We were back on the road in the morning and we both kept a peaceful silence around us all morning. Then we just stopped. In the middle of a deserted road we just stopped.

"Mulder where are we?"

"You'll see."

He counted his steps away from the car stomped his foot three times and then stepped back into the car. The road started to slope down and we just drove down the slope. It was pitch black but once we were down the slope and it closed back up a light came on. It was amazing! To say the least. The first room was full of machines, buttons and it had three large doorways. Through one you could see a room with comfortable looking chairs, and even two couches. Through another you can see what looked like a kitchen/dinning room with two more normal sized doors one on either wall. Through the third, you could see a few beds and some desks with laptops and computers on them. A man led Mulder and me in through the second doorway and then through one of the smaller doors. The room inside had a king sized bed, two dressers, and a pretty big TV.

"I hope it's okay if you two share a room. With all the doctors and people here it's pretty tight."

I saw Mulder stiffen a bit and I knew it was about our fight and everything that had happen so I interjected.

"It'll be fine."

"You know the bed is really two smaller ones so you can..."

"No we're fine."

I smiled over at Mulder for the first time since our trip. I could tell he was surprised but he smiled back. The man left and Mulder and me sat down on the bed together to, for the first time also, talk. Real talking, with no yelling, just explaining.

"It feels weird to be back in the states."

"If you can call it that..."

"There's actually a few reasons we came here."

"Well what's with the doctors?"

"That's one of the reasons."

"Wha...oh..."

Scully leaned over and kissed Mulder on the cheek.

"And the other reasons?"

"To get your daughter back."

"but...how?"

"Emily is in a holding tank... I know where... I can get her back... but I'll have to go next week at midnight. They do a camera check once a week at midnight. They turn them all off for ten minuets to change their tapes. So... I'll be going on Thursday."

"Mulder are you sure that..."

"I'll be fine..."

"But right now. You need to rest because in the morning we're going to have my friend Mark insert something right here..."

He paused and laid a finger at the base of her neck.

"That will get rid of your cancer...for good."

"But what if..."

"It's been tested."

She smiled her second real smile. They were on much friendlier terms now, she just didn't like being left in the dark.

"I'm scared Mulder..."

"I know."

"About everything..."

"I know."

Then a lone tear straggled down her face as he held her close. He absentmindedly rubbed a hand through her hair.

"We'll be fine... we all will..."


I'm not sure... I tried to fight my writers block by just writing no matter how bad I thought it was and I'm sorry AGAIN to yea fae but if I didn't put it up right away then I would loose my nerve and think it sucks too bad! SO SORRY!
