Excuse the delay. I've been quite busy. (For anyone who's interested, I attended Comicon, and had the privilage of meeting Dean Haglund. Visit my myspace for more information.) Thank you.

Chapter 5

Scully blinked her eyes open a few times, finally sitting up. She looked around, everything was familiar, she was still in his kitchen. She turned to Mulder who was lying on the floor next to her, she shook him awake and he sat up in the same way; confused.

"Where are we?" Mulder asked.

"Your kitchen. What happened?"

Mulder looked at his watch, "my watched stopped."

Scully pulled herself up from the floor and walked out a bit dizzy. She made her way into the living room. Before she could notice the small changes in the room she heard, "Dana?"

She called back, "what Mulder?" Mulder came out from the kitchen with a frown, "What?"

"You called me."

Mulder frowned, "No I didn't."

"Mulder stop playing games I heard you call my na-"

"Dana?" a different voice called again. Scully frowned at Mulder, "Am I crazy? I swore I heard you calling my name just now."

"You're not crazy, I heard it too."

"Fox?" Another voice called.

Mulder's eye brows lifted, "Fox?"

"What's going on?" Scully asked but Mulder couldn't speak.

"What?" Scully frowned. Mulder pointed behind her and she stepped away shocked. There, standing in front of her was Mulder. She turned to the Mulder next to her and then at the one in front of her.

"There's two of you," Scully observed out loud.

"I-he can't see us." The two agents watched the Fox Mulder in front of them.

"Dana, do you want the hot-cold pad or the ice-pad?" Fox called down his hallway. Mulder and Scully listened for a response.

"Either one is fine," Dana called from what sounded like the bathroom. Mulder stepped out of the way as Fox walked around the living room and into the kitchen. Scully stood there frozen, Mulder just the same.

They watched as 'Dana' came walked down the hallway.

"I don't look so good," Scully commented on herself, "Do I look like that right now?" Mulder ignored her though, as Fox came back into the living room.

"How are you feeling?" Fox asked, standing close to her in the center of his apartment. Dana shook her head, "It's funny how these things happen."

"We knew this would happen, Dana. You know I'm never going to leave your side," Fox explained, placing his hand on her cheek lightly. Dana slowly started to smile, "I know."

Fox leaned in closely to Dana, kissing her deeply and quite passionately. Scully to Mulder with a frown, then hit him on the side of the arm roughly.

"Hey! That's not me!" Mulder whined. They continued to watch their doubles.

"Fox?"

"Yeah?" he smiled, wrapping his arms around her.

"What do you think will happen?" Dana asked.

Fox took in a deep breath, "I don't know, but no matter what, I will not anything come between what we want."

Scully took in a deep breath, "I have cancer."

"What?" Mulder turned to her with a frown.

"No not me, her. That Dana. She has cancer." Mulder took in a deep breath, again looking at Dana and Fox in each other's arms.

"That's not all," Mulder raised his eye brows.

"What do you mean?" Scully turned to him now.

"Take a look at their fingers." Scully looked carefully and soon raised her eyebrows in shock, "married? We're- their married?"

"Fox, are we doing the right thing?" Dana asked. Fox slid away from Dana taking in a deep breath, in the way Mulder had just a minute ago. He slid one of his hand onto her thin stomach, "I've never been more sure in my life."

There was a brief delay for the agents, finally Scully's mouth dropped open. Mulder to Scully just as shocked.

"You don't have cancer," Mulder smiled.

"A baby? How? I can't have children. And, with you?" Scully frowned deeper then usual.

"Well we're obviously not these people. I mean, this could be some alternative universe of the sort."

"Could it be the future?" Scully asked.

Mulder opened his mouth a few times, "It's a possibility."
