Scully sighed heavily as she stared at the empty classroom. This was it. Her last day. She slowly walked towards her office door and unlocked it. Stepping in, she couldn't believe how quickly three weeks went by.

Three weeks earlier, Mulder and herself had decided that she should stay home to take care of their son. With John and Monica back at home, there was no one here in England that they trusted enough to watch over William. So Scully decided that it would be best if she stayed at home with him. Although Mulder protested a bit since he felt that she would be in danger as well. She assured him that she would always carry her weapon. So Scully went and put her three weeks notice in to the college.

Now standing here she was a bit intimidated by it all; she had never not worked. The thought of being a housewife; she chuckled to herself. A housewife to Mulder no less. Every bit of it was worth it, however, for William and for Mulder, the love of her life. As she placed the last of her things and placed them in the box sitting on the table she heard a muffled cough. Turning on heel, she spun to find herself face to face with a taller brunette woman. The woman was about the age of Scully although her face showed signs of extreme hardships. She wore a simple black suit fitted with a salmon colored dress blouse. Her heels overpowered even Scully's 3 inch heels, practically making the woman tower above Scully.

She smiled and spoke in a syrupy dolled up voice, "Miss Scully, I presume?" She asked while holding out her well manicured hand.

Scully's eyes widen at these words. Not one person here was supposed to know her real name. She backed up a bit and pulled her arm back behind her. Don't let her know, she quietly reminded herself, "Ah, no I'm sorry. You must be mistaken, my name is Mrs. Anderson."

The woman just cocked her eyebrow, "Of course, my mistake. Mrs. Anderson. "

"I think you should be leaving Ms… I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" Scully backed up even farther placing her hand closer to her weapon concealed under her jacket.

"You can stop reaching for gun. Ifwe had wanted to kill you, we would have done that years ago." The woman's mouth pulled into a sly grin.

Scully stopping moving and folded her arms in front of her. The woman made sense. "Who are you? How do you know me?"

"Ah, the meat and potatoes of the subject. Just my kind of girl. I'm here Mrs. Anderson," Ignoring Scully's questions and reciting her name as though it were some foreign word to her, "because I was just wondering how William's doing?" She asked as though she were a concerned god-mother.

Scully's breathing quickened, "So you did use him to get to us." She stated accusingly.

"Of course we did, although not for the reasons you think. We already knew you two were here. We just wanted Will to be with his real parents."

"Cut the crap. I don't have time for this." Scully started walking towards the door.

"Haven't you ever wondered how William came to be conceived?" She asked throwing out her bait.

The bite was taken. Scully stopped moving.

"Well besides the obvious." She sneered lustily at her.

Scully turned bright red, and spun around. She started to speak but was stopped.

"Do you remember your little trip with Mr. Spender? The one were you fell asleep in the car and then woke up in that bed? I'm sure you do."

Scully clasped her hand to her mouth as she gasped, "Oh god…" She mumbled.

"Oh don't worry nothing like that happened, in case your wondering. Mrs. Anderson, does your memory recall everything that the consortium was trying to accomplish? Well in case you don't, I'll give you a refresher course. As you know, there here. They have been for years. Colonization is fast approaching; Two-thousand Twelve to be exact. As you also know we have been experimenting with alien hybrids in the mean time, buying ourselves more time. Our first attempts were anything but successful. First we tried clones, which turned out to only worsen the situation. Then we tried surrogate mothers, hence, your Emily." She stopped giving Scully a chance to let it all sink in, "That failed as well. Then came the to Cassandra Spender who in all ways was a success, that is until she was destroyed. You see a pattern developing. With all resources used, we had to desperately come up with alternatives. This is the part where you stepped in.'

'We found out about your attempts to conceive artificially. This was our chance. As you may have found out. We have your ova…" She stopped, letting Scully gasp and shake her head in dismay, "We genetically enhanced it with Alien DNA, then while you were drugged on that trip with Mr. Spender, we placed it back inside you. Although we knew you not to be one whose very active, we were hoping that the certain tensions rising between you and a certain agent would be more than enough fire to um…how we say, consummate the relationship," She winked over at Scully who sat down at these words.

"Oh god…" Tears welling up in her eyes.

"Well enough said, it was a success. We were even surprised at the quickness of the success considering placing your ova back in you only rose your chances from one percent to twenty five percent. Must have been strong swimmers," She winked again, "We even made sure to protect you, when you gave birth, from the aliens. William was our newest success. A perfect alien human hybrid. That is until Mr. Spender's son ruined it by injecting him. William is only human now. Our experiments ruined and nearly all of our resources tapped, we now need your help. All of the elders are dead leaving only us newly acquired members. We are now in control and are more than willing to do anything to stop the colonization. Although we want the same things, we have different beliefs in how to achieve it. We are coming to you now to ask for your help."

Scully just shook her head in disbelief, "What could I possibly do to help you? Or as a matter of fact, why would I want to help you?"

"Because of William. He was stolen from the adoption agency and we know you have him. But he can be yours legally…" She knew she had caught the fish for sure now.

"For good? He wouldn't be put in any more danger?"

"He is of no use to us anymore. There is something else we need from you. Something you don't have but we can give you…" She let her eyes rest down at Scully's mid-section.

Scully intently watched her lower her eyes, "Oh god…."

"It would be for the good of mankind. As I said before we are willing to do what it takes to get a perfect hybrid. Your genetic makeup is the perfect, your genes are dominant, when paired with Mulder's recessive genes the match is perfect. The hybrid is a complete success, the DNA is more alien than human. It is immune to the oil. We need that hybrid. We can offer you anything you want…"

"A baby? You want me to carry your experiment?" Disgusted with herself for even mentioning such a thing.

"Not just any child, a savior as you will."

"And Mulder? He wouldn't let this happen."

"Mulder isn't to know…"

"I'm sure he'll find out…" Scully snorted detestably.

"I mean about the purpose…You would carry the baby to full term at which time, we would induce labor at about 37 and a half weeks at which point Mulder is not home. You are admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a miscarriage. At which point Mulder will find you at the hospital, shaken but healthy."

"Lie to Mulder!" Tears fell from her eyes.

"He doesn't need to know. We can help Mulder as well. We would need you in D.C. for this project. The sentence on Mulder can be lifted. Your jobs can be reinstated. Mulder can go on with his fruitless quest. You can give him that. You can go home again. To your family. Everything can be as it was. Just by this one thing. We would never bother you again. You or Mulder. No more attempts to close the x-files. No more murders. You two can live in peaceful bliss. The elders are gone. This is run by me and my group now. Things will be different. Stopping colonization is our goal now, just as it is Mulder's and yourself."

Scully stared at the woman as though she were a saint. She was handing her everything that she wanted on a silver platter. Everything she ever wanted. She had the chance to keep William from harm, save Mulder from death, see her family again. They wouldn't be on the run anymore. All because of one thing she could give them. Would it be worth it? Giving them a child she would never know. It was like giving it up for adoption, she tried to tell herself. But she remembered what her mother had always taught her; never take anything from a sliver platter…

"So Mrs. Anderson, what do you say?"

TBC…
