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, as long as he makes me a script writer and lets me work with DD and GA. :D
Spoilers: oh sweet Jesus. All I can say is if you know the show; you're safe. There are so many episode references it's not funny! Also there is a stargate SG1 reference in there, but I explain it if you don't watch that show. I haven't altered any facts of the show, so everything Emily says can be justified… I hope.
Summary: Emily explains to her mum, what exactly has happened to her and William over the last few years. She also reveals some truths about Dana that even she didn't know about herself. Okay yeah, I take creative license for some of that stuff, but I really just elaborate on stuff we already know.
A/note: shout outs to ALL my readers and reviewers! You guys are fantastic! Okay, so you guys know; lotsa dialogues in this one! I know I'm not one for dialogue, but if Emily is gonna tell her story, boy is she gonna tell it. I know that I might get one of the facts wrong, hope I don't but I admit, I haven't seen all the episodes. I should be punished for writing fan fiction, when I haven't seen all the episodes… ooh! David! Come punish me!!! ;P hey! 'Walking in Memphis' just came on the radio! OMG!!

Mulder/ Scully residence
The sun was lowering on perhaps one of the most emotionally diverse and interesting days, either Scully or Mulder had experienced in many years. After the reunion in the cemetery; Mulder and Scully brought Emily and William back to their house. At the time, they asked no questions of their children's sudden return. Their children. Mulder may not have been Emily's biological father but she was Scully's child and the sister of his son; yes, it could have easily been said that both William and Emily were their children.
Emily sat on the front porch with her mother. They drank some coffee and were blissfully content watching Mulder and William running around on the lawn, playing football of course. They each liked what they saw; Scully hadn't seen Mulder this energetic or enthusiastic in many years, he ran constantly and couldn't stop smiling at his son every time he got a good kick in. Emily in turn noticed her brother's sudden change in attitude. She had never seen him this happy. He was always on edge, never allowing himself much time to enjoy himself, always training himself to control his powers better, make them stronger. Physically, he was a normal 11 year old boy, but in every other regard; he displayed the wisdom beyond his years and a seriousness that matched Emily's, if not outdoing hers entirely. Emily was glad to see her little brother so playful and care free, finally enjoying his childhood.
Emily sighed; "I suppose I better explain all this?" Dana hadn't heard her; she was smiling at her boys in front of her. Mulder had picked up William and put him on his shoulders, and let William reach up to get their football out of a tree. "Miss Scully?' Emily enquired. This made Scully turn to her daughter. "Emily, I'd much rather you call me mum" she smiled encouragingly. Emily smiled and looked at her now empty coffee cup, she looked back at Scully. "Okay… mum" she replied. Scully's smile widened, embracing her new title, her face softened again; "you're right though. I would like to know what's going on." Scully said as she put her coffee cup on the ground. She looked back at Emily, her face now bearing a look of utter seriousness; a look Emily knew too well, she saw it every time she saw herself in the mirror.
"Where do I begin?" Emily chuckled nervously. "We all have a story, you especially. Me, William, you, the syndicate, everyone; all connected in some way or another. Amazingly, Mulder actually has the smallest part. But it all comes together in December this year." She turned to face Scully.
"I'm listening." Scully simply replied.
Emily took a heavy breath. "Okay. Lets start with you, mum. Because believe it or not, you're at the centre of all this." She paused, Scully remained silent. "Alright; obviously I didn't die that year in 96'. I now understand that I am a human clone alien hybrid. The result of combining alien DNA with human DNA; specifically I am… you. I am you're clone, the only reason I survived was because you are incredibly unique." Scully smiled and looked at her hands in her lap; recalling the words Mulder had told her all those years ago; "my one in five billion." She whispered. "Pretty much," Emily said, "mum, your DNA, for some reason, is entirely compatible with alien DNA. But by the time the syndicate worked this out; it was too late. So all they had was little old me; I didn't have any… powers, I guess you can call them; at that age. Mulder's DNA isn't as perfect as yours, which is why Samantha's clones not only eventually died, but didn't develop any abilities."
She continued, "They performed so many tests on me. Eventually they decided I was no use to them until my powers developed; so they gave me to a family in England. I became the adopted granddaughter of one of the elders of the syndicate, I was young; but I remember that he was a very kind man. I remember a day when we went to visit him in Somerset; I watched my older 'brother and sisters' running around on the lawn, I was "too young to play with them", so I just watched. That was the day my 'brother' broke his leg, I remember that day because it was the last day I saw my adoptive grandfather. The next day he went to America and was killed in a car accident. The reason I'm telling you this is because the man I had accepted as my grand father was incredibly wealthy and left a significant inheritance to his grandchildren, including me." Emily paused for a breath. "As soon as I turned 13, I had gained enough control over my powers, so I took all my money and my knowledge and fled to America. It took a while to find William, but I knew about him. He was very important to the syndicate. When I was about 14, I found him. He was nearly 7 at the time, but he had endured as many tests by that age as I had in my life. He had already developed his abilities and gained control over them. They are a part of him, they can't be simply be switched off. We met and we connected. We bonded instantly; he ran away with me and we moved underground. It wasn't hard to get by; I was able to support us financially with my inheritance."
Scully sat in brilliant awe of her daughter. Emily had been caring for William for all these years; she had endured painful test in search of all these answers. Oh yes, she could have easily been Mulder's daughter. She suddenly felt a new found respect for her daughter's strength and determination. "But wait! There more!" Emily cried comically. Dana raised her eyebrows, silently saying 'you're kidding'
"Ah… oh yeah; let's talk about Antarctica. When you were cured of the alien virus, it did something weird. Like I said your body is completely tolerant of alien influence. The vaccine, being of alien origin itself, left like a permanent mark on not only your immune system, but in your genes." Scully gave her a confused look. She was a doctor, and this sounded weird. But to be fair she was a human doctor, so she couldn't speculate how an alien vaccine worked. Emily saw her mother's confusion, "okay um… did you ever watch that show stargate SG1?" Scully nodded in reply. Mulder watched it, so she knew the show well enough. Emily continued "well Sam Carter got taken over by the tok'ra, jolinar, and when jolinar died, it left a kind of protein marker on Carter's DNA; allowing her to use alien technology." Scully's face was blank. "Mum! You are still immune to the alien virus! William is too, you passed on that immunity when you gave birth to him." Scully now understood what her daughter was saying, it finally registered. Whoa, she thought. Emily began "and whilst we are talking about William…" she stopped when Scully gave her a look that screamed 'you have got to be joking, there's more?!'; Emily smiled, " no turning back now Mum"; Scully slumped her shoulders in defeated acceptance. She did ask for all this, after all.
"William is important, the aliens that are born from the alien virus and the ones that are returning to 'kill us all'," she waved her hand mockingly. "Are entirely separate to the ones protecting us. William is a new kind defence; instead of copying people and then adding the alien DNA, the aliens tried something different. They found a compatible human, added the alien influenced gene, and then let natural take its course. William is yours and Mulder's son; but he is also part alien and immune."
"Oh lord. Scully whispered in shock. This was almost too much; it was a lot to take in. She looked up and saw Mulder carrying William on his back as they walked up the dirt road, she wondered, where Mulder sat in all this.
"What about Mulder? Does he play any part in all this?" She asked.
"Honestly, I don't think so. But when December comes around, he will be able to help. Do you remember the ship you were in in Antarctica?" Scully thought hard; no, she was unconscious at the time. She shook her head. "Exactly, but mulder's eidetic memory will help us out when the time comes. I think there is a way to stop the invasion. But it involves getting into one of those colony ships"
Scully considered this, she didn't totally understand. She was tired and honestly didn't want to talk about the impending apocalypse. It was too depressing. Mulder and William approached them; puffing and panting but looking genuinely disappointed the daylight was fading. Mulder dropped William in front of Scully; he came up and collapsed into his mothers waiting arms.
"Come on you, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed" said Scully taking William in her arms and walking inside. Mulder went to follow them but was stopped by Emily's arm on his wrist. "There's one thing I wanted to ask you;" she said shyly. Mulder smiled sympathetically. "I was just wondering… well, considering your going to marry my mother and you are William's dad…" Mulder stopped her with a slight giggle. "Emily, you can call me dad. In fact; I was hoping you would." He said reassuringly. Emily smiled widely and cuddled Mulder, entirely relieved.
That night, Dana relayed everything Emily had said to Mulder. The next morning; the four of hem cleaned out the spare room and went into town to buys some beds and clothes. By that night the house had finally transformed into a home.
----------------------------
Information overload? I thought so, I am gonna start a new story; but because there's a story with a similar plot already, so I'm gonna get permission from that author first. Review and tell me if there is anything amazingly wrong with the stuff Emily just said. Thanks guys you rock!!
