Chapter Five Our Struggles
Dana Scully was able to get through the surgery
with Tommy Jenkins without a problem. The tale
tail sign would be when he wakes up afterwards,
to know whether or not he will make it or not in
the long run.
/
She decides after taking off her mask to go see
his parents, having been worried sick, since day
one they had found that he had a rare form of
brain cancer.
/
She had hoped with the stem cell research, that
she was able to stop the growth process, and won't
know for sure for at least a few weeks with the
next set of brain tests.
/
She walks to the empty waiting room, then then
Tommy's parents sitting for four hours on news
in regard to there son.
/
She tells them with sincere hope that all will go
well now with there son Tommy and the next few
weeks will tell, on whether or not the cancer spread
has been stopped in the first place.
/
But he still had a long way to go for his recovery,
with him being her very special patient for the
hospital.
/
She tells them that it's fine to go see him, but for
herself, she needs to leave the hospital to meet
up with her X Files partner Fox Mulder. She goes
to call him never the less at his apartment, and
for which he picks up on the second ring sounding
really exhausted.
/
"My god, Mulder, you sound just awful!" She tells
him with a grin on her tired face.
/
"I can blame that on you in the first place Scully."
/
"I am just leaving the hospital now, after going four
hours of surgery using the stem cell research."
/
"I am very happy for you, Dana, let's just hope it
will benefit others in the very near future?"
/
"Are you hungry Mulder, I can pick something up
before I get to your apartment?" She asked.
/
"I feel like I can be in the mood for McDonald's
and there oh so famous french fries." He replied
with a jubilant request.
/
"McDonald's it is Mulder!, she hangs up the cell
phone to head on down the street to McDonald's,
while making sure she had her credit card on her
to pay for the food.
/
35 minutes later she arrived at his apartment
with both hands full, he goes to open the door
to help her bring the food into the kitchen area.
/
Both of them work at taking the food items out
of the bags, before settling down to have lunch/late
brunch.
/
Mulder watches her eat like she hasn't eaten in many
years. "What?" Making her feel uncomfortable in the
first place
/
"Nothing at all Scully!" He bends in to kiss her on the
cheek before taking more bites of his fast food.
