Scully opened the door and wasn't surprised to see Doggett still irremovable from Reyes' bedside. She walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. He didn't turn to her but he reached his own hand up and placed it over hers. He knew she was there if he needed anything, that was all that mattered. When Mulder walked in close behind he smiled at Scully and took her other hand and kissed it as Doggett turned around. He smiled at them both and stood up.

"You get the sonogram?" Scully nodded her head slowly. She didn't want Doggett to have to force himself to be pleased at a new life coming into the world when nobody knew if Reyes would be coming back into it or not.

"Can I see it?"

"John..."

"Please, I want to see it." Scully released her hand from Mulder's and took out the small photograph from her pocket. She handed it to Doggett and a huge smile spread across his face.

"Wow, you can really make out the detail here, this kid wants to be seen, obviously gonna take after his dad." Mulder smiled proudly and he felt a deep need to give the man a hug, but he resisted. Now wasn't the time, and certainly not the place.

"Is everything ok so far?" Doggett directed the question to Scully, not only as a concerned mother but also as a doctor, a part of her that he knew she never left far behind.

"Yeah, everything's fine. We're doing good."

"Good. I'm glad." He looked back at the picture and then towards Mulder.

"There's something I need to tell you both, something I did this morning, that I'm not sure I should have."

Mulder stood level with Scully and retook her hand. It made Scully smile that he couldn't keep his hands off her, almost as if his touch was a way he could communicate with his unborn child as she carried it. They turned their attention to Doggett as he prepared himself to explain.

"I told Monica's parents about the situation here."

"What situation exactly?"

"With Mulder. And Monica looking for her birth parents." Mulder took a deep breath and Scully did the same but a little more discreetly. The news had made a huge impact on both of them.

"I know I probably shouldn't have, but they keep asking so many questions about you being here and why you show so much concern for Monica, I didn't know what else to say. There was nothing I could do to put them off the truth." Scully sat down on the chair at the back of the room and left Mulder and Doggett looking at each other square in the eye.

"Thank you." Mulder offered out his hand.

"Excuse me?"

"I've spent all this time here feeling like an intruder, like I don't have a right to be concerned or upset, or to want her to wake up as badly as you do. But you've change that now. You've allowed me to feel like her family." Doggett nodded his head in an understanding and took Mulder's offered hand.

"It was the right thing to do, Fox."

"And I appreciate it John." Scully fought back the tears in her eyes as she watched the two men put their differences aside, the use of first names seemed to be something on the x-files that did not come into play, ever. So when it did on the odd occasion it was with good reason, and this was a perfect example.

As Mulder and Scully walked out of the hospital to collect William from Scully's mom, he placed his arm around her and she leaned into him, just like any normal happy couple would. They were both thrilled about the baby, but it was agony to feel such joy so closely along side the pain and fear that such an important person in all of their lives may be gone forever.

Scully and Mulder sat down with William and were all ready to tell him he was going to be a big brother. They had agreed that the time was right, and that they should tell him together, but Mulder was working against the clock, he had a meeting with Skinner about Gibson, and he was hoping to get a copy of the report on Kersh's death too. So they sat down and William looked up at them from his favourite spot in the middle of the living room floor with his toys. He smiled at his parents contentedly. It was nice to see them together, and even better to see them happy. But he knew what they were going to tell him, he had known before they did.

"William, come and sit with mommy." He walked over to his mom and she pulled him up onto her lap for a big hug. He laughed and then reached for his dad too so that he could feel them both close, the whole family together.

"William your mommy and I have something to tell you, some exciting news."

"Then can I play with my toys again?" Mulder laughed at his son and tickled him.

"Yeah you can kiddo." He looked at Scully and they both smiled at one another adoringly.

"William, mommy and daddy are going to have another baby."

"And that doesn't mean that we don't want you, or love you any less."

"Scully he's three..."

"Humour me." Mulder laughed at Scully's concerns for William feeling left out or unwanted, but he didn't believe that the small three year old would entirely know what was happening anyway. So when William smiled and put his hand on Scully's stomach both she and Mulder felt their breath catch in their throats before he spoke to them.

"I knowed it already. I talked to her in the morning." He kissed Scully and Mulder before joining his toys again and giggling up at them suddenly. "She says that she liked it when mommy sang to her in the shower." Scully couldn't stop the tears that ran down her face with no control at all. Mulder was awe struck as he watched his son carry on playing with toys as if talking to his unborn sister was the most normal and natural thing in the world. He took Scully's shaking hands into his own and pulled her close as they sat together admiring their boy, and at the same time being terrified about what this meant for him and his future.

They were preparing themselves for an interview with a social worker in just three days time, and if William acted differently to any other three-year-old boy then they risked losing him, again. Mulder knew Scully's fears without her saying them out loud. He had those same fears. But right now Mulder was pinning all of his hopes and faith on Skinner and the meeting he was going to. Doggett was supposed to be there too, but nobody expected that he would leave Reyes. So Mulder prepared himself to hear what Skinner had to say and prayed that it was good news.

Reyes had walked around the park and covered its entire area at more times than she could count. And there was no way out, no way in, and no sign of where she was or what she was supposed to be doing. But still she remained calm, she felt tranquil and happy, it confused her and she wished that she was in control of her feelings, but it was more than clear she wasn't. She didn't even know what day it was, there was no night and day in this place, and her watch hadn't worked since she had been shot. So how long had she been here?

When the little girl came over to her again, she followed her when she tried to disappear. She was gaining on her, she was sure that this time she would reach her and find out who she was. She finally caught up with her and the girl turned around before Reyes could reach out to touch her, almost as if she was pre-empting what Reyes was doing, she knew that she was being followed, that Reyes wanted answers.Maybe now was the time to turn around and answer her.

When Reyes saw her face she still wished she knew why the child looked so familiar. Something somewhere inside of her said that she knew who this small girl was. The girl simply looked at her and said hi.

"Who are you?" The girl continued to smile as she spoke.

"My name is Emily."
