A/N: I am soooooooo sorry that it has taken me so long to finish this thing! I have had school on my back and other stuff and then my computer broke! But anyways! Here it goes! I hope you like it! I think this could finish the story but I will see how it goes….
Dana and Fox were walking. They had been for hours but had no idea where they were going. They had not seen a person in at least 2 days and when Fox said that they should walk Dana wasn't so sure. But in the end she followed his lead. Dana was the one who spotted it first. They were on top of a hill and she saw a light. A lone beam cast from a flashlight. She knew that this could save them.
"Look! Fox, LOOK!" She squealed almost in hysterics. She pointed to the light. It was now easy to see in the darkness. Mulder turned to her and smiled a weary smile.
"Oh Fox we're saved!!" Dana said to him. Despite what she knew that he would say later she began to run towards the light.
"Hello? Help! We're over here." She began to shout. "Hello?"
"Agent Scully is that you?" A familiar voice spread across the still large space between Dana and the torchlight.
"Yes! Is that you Sir?" She answered the question in a way that if it was who she thought it was he would reply in the way she expected.
"Agent Scully, is Agent Mulder with you?" the voice said again. "Yep. Exactly the way I would expect Skinner to reply." She thought.
"Yes Sir, Mulder is a few yards back."
"Ok, Scully stay exactly where you are and wait for us to reach you." Skinner replied. Although she could hear Skinner well, she knew the distance between them was farther than what you would expect sound to carry. She came to the conclusion that the absence of buildings to deflect the sound made it able to travel to her easier. She waited and a few minutes later Mulder appeared next to her. They said nothing to each other. Just a few more minutes later Skinner walked up in front of them.
"Agent Scully…." He trailed off when he saw the state of her. Neither of the two agents had though about how they looked to others. They were dirty and injured. And pregnant. In the few days they had been gone Dana's bump had become more prominent. When Skinner saw them together the only thing to escape his lips was; "What the..?" and the next thing they knew they were being herded into a car and bundled on a plane back to America.

Back at home Fox and Dana were forced to visit the hospital. Although they had been cleaned up before they boarded the aeroplane they still looked a right pair. They were examined in cubicles and after that there was only one more thing to be done. The nurse wheeled around the corner an ultrasound machine. The cold gel was rubbed onto Dana's stomach and the probe was placed on top. A quiet heartbeat filled the room. A sigh of relief and amazement passed through both of their mouths. They were going to be parents. This really hit home for Fox. After all they had been through in the past few days this was the icing on the cake. He burst into tears.

Sitting in Skinner's office three days after their ordeal Scully had had time to explain about the baby and then they had told the whole story to Skinner. Skinner had sat and listened until they were through and then said what they had both expected.
"Well. Although it took a long time and you never actually solved the real case, well done."
"Well done for what Sir?" Fox asked, confused. Dana sat with a perplexed look on her face.
"Well, think of how the situation could have turned out. This criminal could have come and stolen the stones, and if you had not been there he would have gotten away with it, well more than likely. Effectively you saved Stonehenge." Skinner continued.
"I see, so instead of being angry with us, you are congratulating us? Well that is a nice surprise." Fox replied.
"So Agents, I would like to see your written report in the morning and then we can forget all about this affair. I look forward to reading it."
"Thank you Sir. We will have that report written up for you ASAP." Dana said in her usual business-like voice.
"Agents." Skinner then stood up and showed them out of the door.
Back in their office Fox slumped into his seat and began playing with a pencil, looking as if he may decide to throw it up onto the ceiling to join many of the others up there. Dana stood by the side of the desk and stared at him.
"Everything is definitely back to normal." Dana said.
"Why's that?" Fox asked her.
"You're office is already a mess, and you only tidied it up before we left, also, you're eating those dang sunflower seeds again. Making a mess….." Dana began complaining and picking up the few sunflower seed shells Fox had just dropped onto the floor after he missed the bin.
"You know Dana. That is exactly why I love you so damn much." Fox smiled at her and she smiled weakly back, knowing happily that she felt exactly the same way.
