Chapter 21st Miracles Will Never Cease
Later after everyone was settled in with Skinner and Christina arriving, everyone was able to get a good night's rest after having a very late dinner together.
It was early in the morning when everyone was able to meet at the light house, accept for Christina, she had opted to stay behind at the hotel room this time around.
Mulder followed her down the long flight of stairs, with Skinner and Cogley already half way down to reach the speed boat.
He stopped mid step and watched her.
"What's going on?" He asked gently. "I will help you, unless you want to stay in the car instead.?" She started, then broke off as tears fell down from her eyes.
"I will stay in the car, it's better this way." Fox Mulder felt sick at the prospect of leaving his wife alone, she told him to go, she would be fine.
His brow furrowed with concern and he tried to hold her to pull her into his arms on the steps.
"I'm okak." She sniffs, she tilts her cheek into a warm comfort of his palm. She looked down the stairs. "You need to go, Cogley and Skinner are waiting for you."
"I will keep my phone on, so if I need to call, hopefully the water inside my suit won't kill the battery." He takes one last kiss onto her lips. "I love you." Before descending down the stairs to catch up with the two.
While Scully slowly walked back up to the top part and into the car to wait it out.
