As Nadia rushed into the hospital she struggled to get out her ID from her pocket. She then scampered up to the oncology ward and threw her ID at the nurse.

"I need Dana Scully's latest charts, x-rays and her current state of health, and I need them now is that clear?" She said firmly.

"Who's asking?" The nurse snapped back.

"I'm Kita Sutherland's assistant, and she asked for me to get Ms. Scully's charts," Nadia replied.

"Alright, give me a minute," replied the nurse as she went off into a room filled with filing cabinets. She came back less than a minute later and gave Nadia the file folder as well as the x-ray envelope.

"Thank you," Nadia smiled as she ran back downstairs and into the ER just as the medics were bringing Scully in with Mulder in tow looking extremely nervous. Behind them was a tall woman with light green eyes and black hair down to her waist.

"Nadia," she said softly.

"Kita, here are her charts and x-rays…please tell me you can do something for her…" Nadia replied as she and Kita followed the medics and Mulder up to the oncology ICU. Kita smiled meekly and opened the file folder and began reading the doctor's notes. She then pulled the x-ray out of the envelope and held it up to the lights as she and Nadia walked down the corridor. Nadia looked up at her sister and bit her bottom lip.

Kita seemed to be assessing the x-rays as she tried to keep her balance without actually looking at where she was walking. Kita then made a face and titled her head sideways to look at the film with a different perspective. She then sighed and put the x-ray back in the envelope.

"Well?" Nadia questioned.

"I can do it," Kita replied softly not allowing anyone but her sister to hear what she was saying.

"Oh thank God!" Nadia breathed.

"Remember Nadia you still have to get the consent…otherwise there's no point in even trying if there's going to be a law suit. And I'm guessing that Ms. Scully's mother is probably not going to approve of my…unorthodox methods…the board hasn't even approved them…" Kita whispered. Nadia nodded and sighed, it was times like this she wished Kita wasn't such an introvert.

"I'll do my best to explain everything to the family and to tell them about how many people you've helped," Nadia began.

"But what about the people I haven't helped Nad? I let 12 people die because I didn't know enough; even the things I've managed to fathom didn't give those people the chance to live…" Kita grimaced.

"God Kita who are you kidding? You've helped so many people! Don't get down on you self because you couldn't save a few!" Nadia retorted in anguish. Kita sighed and slouched her shoulders in defeat. Nadia exhaled and put a hand on her sister's shoulder. "Don't do this to yourself Kita."

Kita didn't say anything. She looked down into her sisters eyes and forced herself to smile. Just as they rounded the corner they saw the medics leaving the room where they had deposited Scully into the care of the oncologists. Nadia gave Kita a reassuring grin and then the two of them entered the room.

"Dr. Sutherland, is Ms. Scully under your care?" One of the nurses asked. Kita nodded and the nurse left the room.

"Agent Mulder, this is my sister Kita, Kita this is Agent Mulder, Ms. Scully's partner. He's the one that called us." Nadia informed her.

"Hello Agent Mulder, it's nice to meet you," Kita forced herself to say. Mulder looked at Kita with sorrowful eyes.

"Can you really help her Doctor?" he asked.

"As far as I know yes…" Kita responded softly.

Without warning Scully started to convulse on the bed. Nadia's eyes grew wide with fear as Kita rushed over and tried to keep Scully from falling off the small bed.

"Give me you're shirt sleeve!" She yelled. Mulder looked stunned for a second before he ripped the sleeve from his dress shirt and passed it to Kita. She then took the sleeve and carefully positioned it in Scully's mouth so that she wouldn't bite her tongue. Nadia rushed around her sister and managed to find some medication that would stop Scully's seizure. Kita loosened her grip as Scully's body calmed from full pledged shaking to the occasional twitch. Nadia sighed and then looked at Mulder.

He was standing at the end of the bed shaking like mad. He was obviously terrified. Tears were welled up in his eyes and he was watching Scully with horrified eyes. Her body still twitched but it no longer shook so violently that she could easily injure herself. Kita blinked a few times as her gaze shot from her sister to Mulder and finally to Scully. She decided then that the best thing to do right then was to take the cotton from Scully's mouth. She quickly did so and threw the piece of material in the trashcan.

Nadia walked over to Mulder and gently put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her with puppy-dog eyes and then collapsed into her arms crying like mad, his entire body shaking as he sobbed helplessly into her shoulder. Nadia was taken aback for a moment and then she slowly stroked Mulder's back to sooth him. She glanced at Kita as if to tell her that Mulder obviously wasn't kidding when he said he'd give up anything to save Scully.

"It'll be ok…" Nadia said reassuringly. Kita glared at her sister as if to warn her from getting his hopes up too soon. Nadia shot back a look that could kill as if to tell her sister that all she had to do was believe everything would be ok and it would be. It was as simple as that.

"I…umm…I'll be right back…" Kita whispered as she quickly exited the room, leaving Mulder in Nadia's arms. Nadia forced a smile and softly dislodged herself from Mulder's grip. He sniffed back a sob and then walked up to Scully's bedside, lifting one of her hands into his own and holding it tightly. He sighed and wiped the tears from his face, shaking his head slightly.

"This is all my fault…" He said quietly and he looked down at Scully's lifeless body. His eyes followed the oxygen tubing that was hooked up beside the bed. He hated to see her like this again, she was so ill, he couldn't stand it.

"No it's not Mr. Mulder," Nadia replied.

"Yes it is! It's my fault those people took her and gave her that implant! It's my fault they gave her cancer! It's my fault that she can never have children! Everything that's gone wrong for her these past four and a half years is my fault!" Mulder retorted, the tears springing back into his eyes and cascading down his face like a waterfall. Nadia stared at him with compassion. She sighed again and went about reading Scully's charts.

"You know we should probably call her mother…" She suggested at last.

"Yeah…" Mulder said as he quickly wrote the number down and handed the paper to Nadia.

"I'll be right back then…" She murmured as she left the room and went to the nurse's station. She picked up the phone there and dialled Mrs. Scully's number.

"Hello?" Margaret's voice answered.

"Mrs. Scully? This is Nadia Sutherland; I'm calling you from Washington Memorial hospital here in D.C. You're daughter Dana is very ill ma'am and her partner Agent Mulder is here with her right now. Would you mind coming down as soon as possible?" Nadia questioned.

"Oh God…I'll be there within the hour!" Margaret said as she hung up the phone. Nadia did the same and then walked around for a few minutes hoping to find Kita somewhere.

"Nadia Larka Sutherland! There you are!" Her sister's calm and quite voice called from a darkened corridor.

"Kita, I've been looking for you, I called Mrs. Scully and she's going to be here within the hour so we can start telling her about the procedure," Nadia explained.

"Oh, that good…I think…" Kita said smiling meekly. Nadia lightly punched Kita in the shoulder. "How's Mr. Mulder doing?" Kita then asked. Nadia grimaced for a moment.

"Not too well I'm afraid, he's really scared and he keep blaming himself…and Kita, he said that Ms. Scully can't have children…I don't think he meant to tell me that but it kinda just slipped out," Nadia explained. Kita's eyes grew wide and her features softened from their usual hardness to something Nadia hardly recognized. Kita was extremely sympathetic.

"Wow…I…I never knew that…" Kita responded very quietly.

"It's really sad…I mean not only does she have cancer but she can never have children…that must be terrible," Nadia said dryly. Kita nodded and then her face contorted to a look of pure concentration.

"I'll be back in a couple hours, if anything happens call me ok? I need to find something that I left at home somewhere…it might just be useful," Kita rambled with a smirk. Nadia looked at her in a confused manner.

"Kita you introvert! What are you up to?" Nadia yelled as her sister ran down the hallway.

"You'll see Nad! Just you wait!" Kita responded and then she dashed into the elevator and disappeared.
