Hello! Found a little time in my busy schedule to post this one. Am I not nice? XD

Missing scene at the end of Closure.

Feel

"I'm free". It had been comforting and also a bit odd to hear Mulder say that, Scully mused as she was back in her hotel room.

He finally knew what happened to his sister. He always had believed the x-files would bring him the truth, and he had been right. Scully was very happy for him but she was also sad that his sister died all those years ago, probably scared. At least, now Mulder knew.

Scully did not really know where Mulder had disappeared for a bit, nor what had happened there, but when he came back he looked somewhat in peace, even if sad.

He had said nothing in the car, on the way back to the hotel. Only when she had parked and cut off the engines, he said that he had seen her, Samantha. She was still 14 and she was happy.

Scully still did not know what to make of this, nor of the fact that there was no remains. Samantha was probably buried somewhere. Now, as she took her shower, she wondered if Mulder would really be able to grief and to find some real closure since there was not any body to bury or to cry about.

Coming out of the bathroom ready for bed, it took her a few minutes to realize there was a note on the floor. It had to have been slipped under the door. She picked it up and read it. It was from Mulder, of course. He was asking her to come to his room. She was not sure it was a good idea to go there with nothing but her PJs on her, especially after what nearly happened the other night at his apartment. She was wondering if she should change and put her clothes back on but she was tired and did not want to stay long, so she could come back here, and go to sleep. So she just put her coat on and went to Mulder's room.

Mulder was sitting on his bed, back against the headboard. He was in his PJ pants and a t-shirt, his hair still a bit damp from the shower, just as hers. He was looking in the direction of the TV across from the bed but she was sure he was not really watching it. He finally acknowledged her by putting himself more on the right side of the bed. He then put the pillow next to him up against the headboard, and pointed for her to come sit right next to him. She hesitated. Mulder gave her a look.

- "Sit down, Scully. I just wanna talk."

Scully just sat on the edge of the bed, across from him on his left side. It was really warm in his room but she did not dare to take off her coat. This apparently annoyed him.

- "Seriously Scully? This is how we're gonna work and talk now?"

- "Mulder, I'm tired and you're probably are too. After everything that happened you should try to get some sleep."

- "I know, but I can't."

Mulder drove his attention back to the TV. Scully could tell he wanted to say something so she just waited. Then, slowly, as sad as quiet, it came out:

- "My mother won't know. I did it, Scully. I found the truth about Samantha but she will never know. She died not knowing the truth. She will never know that I know. No one will know."

- "I know. I saw you make it there."

Mulder looked at her.

- "Isn't it ironic that I became an FBI agent in the hopes to find her and that, all this time, she was dead?"

- "You became an FBI agent to find out what happened to her and you did. It wasn't a waste of time. You were even right about finding it in the x-files. You were right all along, that's why you succeeded." She smiled at him and lightly continued, "You didn't become 'Spooky Mulder' for nothing."

Mulder finally smiled, even laughed a little. He then reached Scully's hand. She gave it to him and he caressed it a bit with his thumb.

- "I'm glad I had 'Mrs Spooky' with me all along."

They just remained silent for a while. Somehow Scully felt like Mulder still wanted to say something. Again, she just waited. Mulder just looked in front of him, lost in thoughts. Suddenly, here it came.

- "I can't feel anything, Scully. About Mom, about Samantha. I don't know if I should feel sad or relieved right now, probably both but… I just can't feel anything. I'm….numb."

- "It's probably too soon to fully realized what just happened." Scully was fully aware that it was just platitudes but it was all she could offer at this point. "You really should try to get some sleep."

- "I know."

Scully took off her hand from his. Mulder still looked vulnerable.

- "Can you just stay a bit longer? I don't feel like being alone just now." He said almost as a whisper.

Scully then proceeded to finally take the sit next to him against the headboard. Not taking the warm anymore, she even took off her coat and put it on a chair next to the bed before sitting down. An old episode of The Twilight Zone was airing so they just watched it in silence, his hand in hers.
