A/N: Honestly I never liked the name William, I mean it's fine as a name, but for Scully's child it didn't make sense to me that after being terrorized by Billy Miles during pregnancy and labor she would choose that name even if it was to honor someone in her or Mulder's family. So I'm changing it, be mad if you want but hopefully you can look past it.

So I have named Scully's son after a Saint and an important historical figure in medicine...

St. Jude, also known as Thaddaeus, is the Patron Saint of desperate situations and lost causes,

James Blundell 1791-1878, was a British obstetrician. At the time it was common for women to die in childbirth. He wondered if women who bled heavily after giving birth may be able to be given someone else's blood. He invented equipment to safely transfuse blood from one person to another.

And so James Thaddaeus Scully was born.

Mulder studies Skinner for a moment trying to absorb what he just heard,

"What do you mean, you don't know?"

"People came... for James, she did her best to keep him safe, we all did. But they kept coming for him, so she had to make a choice." Skinner tells him,

"And what did she choose?"

Skinner sighs, knowing this next bit of information will no doubt devastate him.

"She had her chip removed and disappeared with the kid... no one knows where she went, she didn't even tell her mother."

Mulder feels all the breath leave his body,

"I'm sorry I could have sworn you just said she removed the chip, the little piece of metal in her neck that stops her cancer from returning... her incurable cancer!"

"She needed to keep James safe and she didn't trust anyone else to do it."

"Well he's not going to be very safe when she dies and they're out in the middle of no where, is he?!"

"There was no talking her out of it, I'm sorry. We just have to trust that Scully had a plan for such a scenario."

Mulder looked away going to his familiar corner not wanting Skinner to see the tears escaping his eyes as he pictured Scully and James out there all alone.

"Look, we can figure out what to do about Dana once your out of here, but your not gonna be able to help anyone like this..." Skinner starts to explain, he stops and runs his hand over his face hating to see his agent looking so defeated,

"Have they told you what the charges are, Mulder? What you're doing here?" he asks.

"I murdered a man, Walter. I went looking for something that didn't exist, and I ... I made a terrible mistake. I should be punished severely, although I'm not sure what punishment could be worse then what you've just told me."

"Whatever you were doing you have the right to a lawyer ... to an inquiry and process of law." Skinner tells him, refusing to believe nothing can be done about Mulder's situation or Scully for that matter.

"I don't think you heard me..." Mulder begins to say but the guard interrupts them,

"All right - time's up."

The Guard holds the door open, indicating for Skinner to leave, he turns to look at Mulder for some sort of hint that he will fight this but he has already retreated again to that damn corner and is facing the wall.

After Skinner leaves Mulder starts talking, presumably to himself...

"I don't understand, why are you helping me?" but as he turns around we see Krycek is right in front of him,

"Because you can't do this alone."

Mulder is distracted from Krycek by the sound of a guard approaching, but when he turns back around Krycek has disappeared.
