Disclaimer: sadly I don't own these characters. Wish I did, but I don't. They belong to the master, CC, fox networks and 1013. But if Chris carter accidently came across this story and decided to use it to made a third X Files movie, he can have it.

Summary: in all dramas there must be a big reunion. So here it is! If your wondering "what the #$%!'' at the end, things will become clear. I just wanted there to be a proper emotional reunion for the characters before I drop the information overload that is next chapter.

Spoilers: apart from a little reference to 'Christmas carol'… none really.

A/note: I love you guys for the feedback! OMG! This one's for Mrs. Dana K Mulder and Dana42 for all the support you guys gave me. You guys rock. Send me suggestions; I like to personalize my stories. I'm not a total door mat though, I still have to stick to the plot (I wish I was David duchovny doormat though; then I can look up his shorts all the time… oops naughty thought! Running away now!) Nah seriously, thank you guys for stickin' with me on this one. I need jellybeans…

The wind calmed to a slight breeze. The casual rustling of the leaves over head was the only noise that penetrated the silence that had befallen the four figures in the cemetery.

Mulder's breathing had returned to now returned to normal; but the shock of what had happened kept his mind in a numb state. Forgetting the residual pain in his chest he sat up in scully's arms; still grasping at him tightly. Her attention was no longer on his injures, but now focused with his on their now much older son standing before them.

Scully felt mulder's movements under her, as much as she was concerned for his safety; she too couldn't resist looking at William. She soaked in his appearance; he had thick brown hair, similar to his father's but minus the few random grey hairs that Mulder had started growing. His eyes were a beautiful green color, clear as glass. Simply looking at him, scully realized exactly how much resembled he Mulder. She felt compelled to hold William in her arms again; feel the changes he had gone through over the last ten years.

"William?" scully managed to whisper. The boy shuddered a breath and tried to take a step towards her, tears streaming down is face. He was held back by the teenage girl beside him; Still holding onto his arm. Scully finally turned her attention away from William, to the girl. She looked into hers eyes; they were a bright blue, almost like ice. If William simply resembled Mulder; this girl was scully's twin. She looked exactly as scully had looked like when she was a teenager herself. The similarity was almost disturbing; scully could have sworn she was looking at an old photo of herself.

"William. We can't. You know that." The girl said, now looking back down to William. He looked up at her with a look of defeat across his face, his eyebrows arching in a silent plea. She even sounded like scully, except with a slight English accent.

Then it dawned on scully. She now recognized this young woman before her. But it was impossible. She had died all those years ago, hadn't she? Was it possible? Could she actually be standing there, in the flesh before scully? Only one way to find out, scully figured. She had to know. "Emily?" Scully whispered desperately. Both of them looked down at their mother. Mulder was now kneeling next to scully; she was ashamed to admit once again, she didn't notice him move. She blindly took his hand in hers, sharing her shock.

William looked back up to his sister, desperate to get her permission to proceed. "Em, they know! We can't change that, we can't go back now!" she raised her eyebrows at her brother, she looked more like scully than ever. She knew he was right, but she knew the risks too. "Look! They can help us and I want to know my parents before the return! Please Emily!" William pleaded again. Emily knelt down in front of her little brother and held one of his hands; the other brushed a stray hair out of his face. She took a large breath and looked into his eyes; "you're a smart boy William… I know you understand the risks involved if we bring them into this." William nodded, wiping away his own tears. Emily smiled at him; "okay then, let's do It.", Williams face lit up.

Mulder and scully had no idea what they were actually talking about. Rising to their feet, they could only watch their son and scully's daughter before them; alive and together.

Emily stood, still holding Williams hand; they turned towards Mulder and scully. They stepped forwards together and stood, looking up at scully; who had shuffled forwards herself. She began crying and wrapped her arms around both her children, "oh my god" she uttered into Emily's shoulder.

Mulder still stood in the background; watching the scene unfold before him. He suddenly felt a little left out. William must have sensed this because he quickly broke away from his mother and stepped up to Mulder. He stood in front of his father not moving, not crying, not looking Mulder in the eyes. Eventually he did look up at Mulder, held his arms open and spoke them one word Mulder had always wanted to hear. "Daddy?" All composure Mulder was holding onto flew out the proverbial window; he fell to his knees and pulled his son into his arms, William returned his fathers embrace eagerly and tightly.

All worries or sorrow Dana and fox felt up till that point in time disappeared; Maggie's death, the inevitably alien invasion, all of it faded as they held onto their children. If the aliens returned tomorrow, they would have laughed at them.
