Mulder stood in the crowded office building waiting for
somebody to finish
a meeting, he had received a call that morning, somebody had to
tell
him something urgently, he folded his arms and looked around, all
that
could be heard was the shuffling of paper, the door in front of
him
opened, men in business suits busily rushed out, until one stood
at
looked at Mulder, Mulder smiled
"Mr Mulder" The voice said happily, the man shook
Mulders hand and
invited him into the room
"You wanted to see me?" Mulder asked confused
"Yes, I did" The man said, smiling, he pointed to a
chair, and directed
Mulder to sit down, Mulder sat down ,
"Mulder, theres something you should know" The man
said, Mulder noticed
the smile had wiped from his face, Mulder straigtened himself in
the chair
and gripped himself what the man was about to say
"Your partner" He said, Mulder nodded
"She had a child Emily?" He questioned Mulder nodded
again
"I came across a report yesterday, theres something
disturbing Mulder"
The man said,
"Look, I don't know why you asked me here, but I don't want
to get involved
in agent Scullys business" Mulder said, the man could see
Mulder was
on edge
"I'll get straight to the point" The man said
"The DNA samples, they matched yours" The man said,
Mulder stood up in
shock
"What?" He asked
"I ran a test your DNA matched the childs" He said,
Mulder stood for
a moment in disbelief
"What about Scully?" Mulder asked
"Somehow you and agent Scully managed to produce a
baby" He said
"Me and Scully have never..you know?" Mulder asked
"I mean unaturally" The man said, handing Mulder a case
report, Mulder
took it
"Your right" Mulder said looking at the DNA reports
Mulder closed the
file and put his head in his hands
"How is this possible?" Mulder asked sitting back down
in his chair
"Have you ever been to a sperm bank?" He asked, Mulder
looked at him
"No never, somehow it must have been taken but I can't think
when" Mulder
said, he was confused and he needed to tell Scully but she would
probably not be able to cope
"Mulder, I'm telling you this as a friend as somebody who
has watched you
since you began work on the x-files" he said patting Mulders
thigh,
"Dr Goldstein" Mulder said standing up
"Who?" The man asked
"I had some treatment, that was the only time possible to do
something like
that" Mulder said
"Treatment?" The man questioned
"I need to go" Mulder said
"Wait" The man said, grabbing Mulders arm
"Don't tell anybody who gave you this information" He
said letting go
Mulder nodded and walked out of the door
RHODE ISLAND
PRISON CENTRE
12:11PM
"Dr Goldstein" Mulder said walking into Dr
Goldsteinds cell, the dr
gave him a dirty look
"Sorry for before, no hard feelings" Mulder said
sarcastcly
"What do you want Fox?" The dr asked grumpliy
"To ask you why" Mulder said sitting down beside him
"Why for what?" he asked
"Why you took a sperm sample during my unconciousness"
Mulder said
the dr stared at him
"I never took a sperm sample Mulder" He said
"Then why was a baby created using my sperm and Sculls
ovum?" Mulder asked,
the dr could see Mulder was distressed
"Calm down Mulder" He said
"I never did anything like that during your treatment"
he said
"Well thats the only time possible for something like that
to happen" he
said, standing up
"Look I promise you I didn;t, its up to you wether to
believe me or not"
He said, Mulder gave him a dirty look and walked from the cell
FBI HEADQUARTERS
WASHINGTON DC
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SKINNERS OFFICE
"Mulder" Skinner said as Mulder burst into his
office,
"I need to speak" Mulder said angrily Skinner stood up
"About what?" Skinner asked
"Remember Scullys child Emily?" Mulder asked
"Why?" Skinner asked
"Somebody looked at my file and Emilys file" Mulder
said, Skinner could see
Mulder was upset
"Sir, my DNA matched Emilys" He said a tear rolling
down his face, he already
had felt alot for that child, being that she was part of Scully
and now
he came to know she was part of him too, Skinner was too shocked
to
reply, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but now words
came out
he watched Mulder sit down and cry quietly but loud enough for
his
cries to be heard from the secretarys office, Skinner tried to
comfort
Mulder by hugging him but nothing worked
"Mulder, do you have any evidence?" Skinner asked
"I saw the evidence for myself" Mulder said, trying to
hold back more tears
he didn't know wether he was crying because of Emilys death or
because Scully might not be able to cope
"Mulder, you need to tell me more" Skinner said sitting
beside him
"I was called this morning somebody demanded to see me, when
I got there
he told me, both me and Scullys DNA matched Emilys, this child
wasn't conceived naturally, she was all part of some
experiment" Mulder
jibed angrily,
"I'm sorry" Skinner said, Mulder smiled at him
"The hardest part is telling Scully" Mulder said,
wiping the tears from
his eyes, he stood up
"Mulder, she needs to know the truth" Skinner said,
"I wouldn't keep the truth from her, do you know anything
about this?"
Mulder asked
"No" Skinner said
"Sir if your hiding the truth, I can't tell Scully" he
said, he had now
stopped crying and his anger and came back
"Mulder, I knew nothing of this until you told me"
Skinner said, Mulder
could tell by Skinners face he was innocent, Mulder nodded as if
to say
thankyou and left the office
FOX MULDERS OFFICE
"Mulder where have you been, I've looked
everywhere?" Scully asked anxiously
"Around" Mulder said, smiling, he wanted to tell Scully
but he didn't want
her to have to cope with such a whole new side to the Emily
story, what
would she think if she knew Emily was his child too, he sat down
at the
desk trying to act his old self but he found it to hard
"Seriously Mulder, where were you?" She asked, the grin
on his face rubbed
"I need to tell you something" He said, Scully leaned
forward
"Please tell me you havn't stumbled upon some alien
conspriacy?" She asked
smiling, Mulder smiled and then returned
"No Scully, not this time" he said walking towards her,
he held her hand
"Mulder" She said, she was getting worried now she knew
it was something
serious
"Its about Emily" he said, trying not to break down in
tears again, he
knew he had to be there for Scully
"Mulder, what?" She pleaded
"I was told to meet somebody this morning, he gave the Emily
thing
a whole new story" He said swallowing hard,she felt his grip
on her
hand tighten
"What?" She asked
"Some guy looked at Emilys file and then mine, he said our
DNA matched"
Mulder watched Scully, look around in disbelief
"How?" She asked, in shock
"I don't know, I just dont" He said, cuddling her as
she began to cry
"Scully, I wish I could tell you how this happened, it was
those sick
government arseholes" He said, Scully pulled herself away
"Mulder, are you 100 percent sure?" She asked
"I saw the DNA samples Scully, they matched" he said
"I won't believe it until I take a look" She said,
"Scully, I can't believe you" He yelled,
"I can't believe you Mulder. this guy could be lying"
She said, Mulder
gave her a dirty look
"The truth is you don't want to admit to yourself Emily
could be my
daughter" He said, storming from the office
"Wait" She yelled running towards him
"What?" He asked turning round
"Who was this guy?" She asked
"I don't know" He said
"Where did you meet him?" She asked
"12 Washington Street" he said, walking down the hall,
he knew where he
was heading, to see Emilys grave at the cemetary, he wanted to
see
the childs grave stone, his childs grave stone and say goodbye
like
a father, he walked outside into the morning air, and unlocked
his car
door, he sat and thought about Scully, how could she deny this,
he had seen the evidence for himself, and she was telling him it
was
wrong, deep down inside he felt guilty for storming out on her,
she
was upset and needed some comfort he thought about going back
but they should have some time apart to think about things,
NIGHT
1:10AM
Mulder sat looking at a photograph of Emily, he had taken it
from the
crime photos, a few months back when the whole thing began, he
loved
that little girl, now he had come to find out that little girl
was his
child, he put his head back in the chair, tears began to roll
down his
cheek, visions of Emily at the childrens home, colouring on the
floor,
made him cry 10 times worse, he wanted to reach out to somebody
and
cry but there was nobody there, somebody knocking at the door
broke
his thoughts, he wiped the tears away and answered it, Scully
stood
standing, holding a brown paper envelope
"Mulder, we should talk" She said walking into his
apartment, he shut
the door and sat down on the couch beside her
"Why?, so you can deny the truth?" He asked
"Mulder, I went back to that office building and took those
DNA samples"
She said angrily
"Then you know the truth" He said
"Mulder, they lied to you again" She said
"Why would they lie to me?" He asked
"They did before, what makes you so sure they havn;t this
time?" She asked
"Because, its possible it could have happend Scully, they
could have
created Emily using my sperm" He said, Scully bit her lower
lip and
opened the envelope
"You're right, the DNA samples matched" She said
"You believe me?" He asked
"I then noticed, the code on the top right hand corner"
She said,
pointing to a number
"What?" He asked
"I ran a test on the code my name came up" She said,
"It must have been a mistake" he said
"It was no mistake Mulder, I then checked your file out and
looked
at your DNA samples, the code didn't match" She said
"Scully, what are you saying?" He asked
"I'm saying they used my DNA samples, and tried to make you
believe it
was yours" She said
"Why?, why would they do that?" He asked
"Because they are hiding the real truth" She said
"Oh and whats the real truth?" He asked,
"That only my DNA samples can be traced, and the fathers are
hidden so that he cant be found, they wanted us to believe Emily
was our child, so that nobody would try looking further for the
real father"
She said
"We knew that anyway, why would we try and look for
something thats not
there?" Mulder asked
"Maybe we we wrong, maybe the father or experimental sperm
donour
could be found" She said
"Scully, I don't think the sperm donour was any part of
the human race" He said,
"Exactly Mulder, that was your view, maybe thats what
they're trying
to hide, you revealing the truth in this" She said,
"But, the DNA samples, they had male chromosomes" He
said
"Yes Mulder, they were faked" She said, showing him
"Where?" He asked, she showed him his original DNA
sample
"Look at your chromosomes" She said, Mulder stared, he
then looked
at the faked DNA samples,
"Did you check your sample with that?" He asked
"Yes I did, it matched except the male chromosomes were
replaced with
female" She said, Mulder felt a little relieved inside, but
he was
also hurt that Scully didn't believe him
"Scully, the point is you didn't believe me in the first
place" He said
angrily
"Mulder, I believed you, it was the government I didn't
believe" She said
"You don't trust me" He said, she knew he was hurting
and it was best if she
left him alone, she stood up and walked towards the door
"If I don't turn up tommorow, don't worry about me because I
don't need you"
He said coldly, his words hurt, but she knew he was just
expressing his
anger, instead she didn't say anything she left the apartment
FOX MULDERS OFFICE
10:02AM
Scully knew Mulder wasn't turning up just to hurt her, she
wasn't going
to let his behavior get to her, she sat typing at her lap top, he
cell phone began to ring
"Scully" She said answering it
"This is the Washington DC memorial Hospital" The voice
n the other end
said
"I think you should come down here" The voice said
"Its your partner, his been involved in a car accident"
Scully turned her
phone off and walked out
WASHINGTON DC MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
"I need to see Fox Mulder" Scully said to the nurse
at the desk outside
the ER ward
"We've been expecting you" A voice said from behind, a
nurse walked towards
Scully
"Come with me" The nurse said
"How's Mulder?" Scully demanded
"He has severe head injuries" The nurse said,
"We need to run some tests" She said, they entered a
room, Mulder lay
in a bed hooked up to machines, his face was half filled with
tubes,
Scully ran towards him and grabbed his arm gently
"What are his vitals?" Scully asked, wiping a tear from
her face
"Weak pulse, his breathing his pretty rapid, and his pupils
are contricted"
She said, Scully glanced back at Mulder
"Get me 100 milograms of Epedural dyplasnym" She said,
the nurse took
a syringe and a bottle from the cuborad
"Ms Scully, maybe you should let the doctor in charge treat
him" The nurse
said, handing Scully the syringe, she injected it slowly into
Mulder's
arm, and waited
"I'm a doctor, and Mulder needs my help" Scully said,
the nurse smiled
"I'll get the doctor" She said walking from the room,
why the nurse was
gone she felt his pulse the epedural dyplasnym had started to
work, his
heart was beating alot faster, now she could start consentrating
on his
head injuries, she began to feel his head gently, until she came
to a
pretty large bump, luckily the area wasn't fractured and neither
was any
of his skull, she turned to face the doctor who had just entered
the room
"Dr Scully" He said smiling, Scully found it hard to
smile, but managed
"Mr Mulder, has a severe head injury" The doctor said
"Have you given him a scan?" Scully asked
"Not yet, were waiting for the CAT scan to become
empty" He said, feeling
Mulders pulse
"Your idea worked" He said, smiling
"He has no skull fractures" Scully said,
"I already checked Dr Scully" He said, her mind
travelled to Mulder,the
way he would tease her by calling her Dr Scully, it made her
smile
"The rooms empty" A voice said from the hall
"Thanks" The doctor said
"Get him up there" The doctor said to the nurses,
Scully decided she
would wait for the results to come back, she walked over to a
telephone
and dialed Skinners number
"Skinner" He said
"Sir its me" Scully said
"Where are you Scully?" Skinner asked
"Washington Dc memorial hospital" She said
"Why?" Skinner asked
"Mulder has had a car accident, I think you should get down
here" She said
"When?" Skinner asked
"About 20 minutes ago sir" She said
"I'm on my way" He said, putting the phone down, Scully
replaced the
receiver and walked towards the corridor where they had taken
Mulder, she
saw a sign saying NEUROLOGY, and followed the arrow up a flight
of stairs
she found the CAT room and waited outside, she knew it would be
serious,
but hopefully not too serious, she knew she should wait down
stairs
until Skinner arrived, but she wanted to see the results,
11 MINUTES LATER
"Scully" Skinner said, walking towards her
"Sir" She said, holding back tears,
"What happend?" He asked
"Mulder had a car crash this morning, he has severe head
injuries" She
said, finally letting some tears flood down her face
"Whats going to happen?" Skinner asked
"his having a brain scan at the moment" She said,
Skinner sat down
beside her
"I'm sorry" He said trying to comfort her she smiled
"Sir, its all my thought" She said, Skinner looked at
her
"Why?" He asked
"We were arguing last night, and he said he didn't need me
anymore" She
said, bursting into tears
"Were you arguing about Emily?" He asked, Scully nodded
"I found the truth out to be, they were lying to Mulder to
stop him
looking for the real truth, he said he didn't need me anymore,
the next
I heard he had been rushed in here" She said, Skinner
wrapped his arms
around her trying to comfort her, she wrapped her arms around
him, when
she opened her eyes, Mulders doctor stood waiting, Scully pulled
herself
away,
"Dr Scully" He said, Scully stood up
"I need to speak with you both" He said, leading them
into the CAT room,
"What is it?" Scully asked
"Mulder has severe bruising to his frontal lobe, and
cerebelum wall" He said,
"Is he comatose?" Scully asked
"We think so" He said, Scully tried to stop herself
crying and managed
"Theres a chance he will regain conciousness when the
bruising and
swelling goes down" He said, Skinner was in shock, he
couldn't believe
what had happened, he felt numb inside, he looked at Scully, he
could see
her trying not to cry
"Now what?" Skinner asked
"We'll get Mulder a room on the Neuro ward and keep a close
eye on him,
I'm affraid it could take a while for the bruising and swelling
to go
down" He said
"I know" Scully said
"Thankyou Dr" Scully said, smiling,
LATER
12:25PM
Scully sat next to Mulders bed, he had some bruising around
his right
eye, he also had some cuts, she grabbed his arm and squeezed
gently
"Come on Mulder" She whispered and began to cry again
"Fox" The voice said, Scully turned around to see
Mulders mom
"Ms Mulder" Scully said standing up, his mom stood
sobbing at his bedside,
"Why Fox, Why?" She yelled, Scully tried to comfort her
"Its ok Ms Mulder" She said,
"Dana, is he going to be ok?" She asked, Scully nodded
"I think so" She said,
"How do you know?" She asked
"I don't but knowing Mulder, he'll pull through this"
She said,
"his all I have left" She said, Scully nodded
"I know, I'm going to do all I can to help him" She
said
"Me too" Mulders mom said, sitting in the chair beside
his bed, she
was grief stricken
"I'll leave you on your own for a while" Scully said,
smiling she left
the room, and walked down the hall, Skinner sat in one of the
chairs in
the waiting room
"Sir" She said, Skinner looked round
"How is he?" He asked standing up
"No improvment yet" She exclaimed,
"his moms in with him" She said, as Skinner sat down,
Scully sat beside him
"What did she say about the situation?" Skinner asked
"Shis to upset at the moment" Scully said,
"Mulder, will get through this Scully" Skinner said
"He has everything else" He added
"Maybe this is the final straw" Scully said, letting
Skinner onto her
fears
"You can't think like that, it won't help anyone" He
said
"I know that sir, but this time I can't see Mulder pulling
through this,
his head injuries are horrific" She said, feeling the tears
slowly
streaming down her face again
"Scully, he has came back from death twice before, he will
do this" Skinner
said, but Scully wouldn't believe it until it happend
"Even if he does wake up, he could have brain damage"
Scully said,
"I'd rather him be alive Scully" Skinner said
"I would too, but sometimes, you can't always keep your
faith sir" She said
"This isn't about faith Scully" He said
"Its about Mulder being strong, I know he is" Skinner
added Scully
nodded
"I know that too" She said, standing up
"I have to go somewhere" She said
"Where?" He asked standing up
"A meeting" She said walking from the hospital
12 WASHINGTON STREET
OFFICE BLOCK
"I need to speak to somebody who deals with personnel
files" Scully
said, to a woman sitting at a reception desk
"Who are you?" The woman asked
"Special agent Dana Scully" Scully said, showing the
woman her badge,
the woman nodded
"Room 9" She said, typing on the computer
"Thanks" Scully said, looking around for room 9, she
saw the notice
on the elevator saying Ground floor rooms 1-8, first floor rooms
9-17, she
climbed in, a man entered wearing a grey suit he smiled, Scully
smiled
back
"Scully?" He questioned,
"Yeah" She said
"I spoke with your partner yesterday" He said
"It was you?" She asked
"Me what?" He asked, stepping out of the elevator
"You who told Mulder false information" She said
"False?" He questioned
"Those DNA samples, werent Mulders they were mine" She
said, the man
unlocked door number 9 and invited Scully in
"I, I told him because he needed to know" He said
"I checked those samples, they were partly faked" She
said
"How?" He asked
"I don't know, but Mulder is lying comatose in a hospital
bed as we speak"
She said, the man looked round
"What?" He asked
"You heard what I said its probably thanks to government
arseholes like
you" She said, turning around to walk out
"Ms Scully, I didn't tell Mulder to deny him of any truth, I
admire him
and I admire you" He said, Scully turned round
"I didn't mean any harm to come from this, when I browsed
through those
files, I thought I had found the truth" He said
"Sometimes, the truth isn;t always as it seems" She
said
"Please, can I come to the hospital with you?" He asked
"No, you cant" She said
"I want to see him, he means alot to me" He said,
Scully nodded
"Thankyou" He said
WASHINGTON DC
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
12:32PM
"Any news?" Scully asked Skinner as they entered the
waiting room
"None" He said looking oddly at the man
"T.J Warner" The man said shaking Skinners hand
"I have been following Mulder and Scullys work" He
said, Skinner smiled
at him and sat down
"Can I see him?" He asked
"Sure this way" Scully said, leading him to Mulders
room, Mulders mom
sat in the chair squeezing his hand gently, she was still crying,
she
turned to face Scully and the man
"Dana" She said softly
"What?" She asked
"I can't bare sitting here one moment longer" She said
standing up
"Go to my place and get some rest" She said, handing
his mom her
apartment keys,
"Thankyou Dana" She said
"Heres the address" She said handing her a piece of
paper, she took it
and left the room, Scully hadn;t realised the man holding Mulders
hand,
he was crying quietly to himself, she guessed he wasn't out to
lie
to them both, he really did care
"I can't believe this" He said, wiping the tears away
"Me neither" She said,
"We have to all stay strong for his sake" She said, the
man turned
around
"Thankyou Dana, thankyou for telling me" He said,
"Sir, Mulder has pulled through things before, I'm sure he
will be fine"
She said
"Call me T.J" He said, she nodded
"T.J, you should know how strong Mulder is" She said,
"I know how strong and passionate to believe he is, I have
followed both
of your work over the pass five years and I have never met
anybody so
caring and dedicated to his work and his partner" He said,
looking
back at Mulder and the tubes coming from his face, he turned back
"I'm going to tie some dead ends at work and I'll be right
back" He said
"Ok" Scully said, as the man left the room, Skinner
entered
"My god" He said, seing Mulder lying in the bed
connected to tubes
"I didn't expect this" Skinner said, walking towards
Mulders bed,
"Sir, that was the man who gave us the false
information" Scully said,
SKinner turned round
"What?" He asked
"He didn;t know it was false, somebody had lied to him too,
his been
following me and Mulders work since day one" She said
"Why?" He asked
"I don't know, but he truly cares about Mulder" She
said
"We all do" He said, smiling
NEXT DAY
8:09AM
Scully opened her eyes and caught sight of the hospital room
she must
have fallen asleep in the chair next to his bed, she pulled the
cover
off that somebody had put round her and stood up Mulder still lay
there,
with lesser tubes, she grabbed his arm gently again
"Morning" She whispered,
"Dana" A voice said from behind, his mom stood in the
door way
"Ms Mulder" She said, his mom walked towards the bed
"Hows Fox?" She asked
"A good sign, his been taken off morphine and
antibiotics" she said
looking at the tubes
"Good" his mom said smiling
"Fox, you listen to me" She said
"I love you, I need you" She said, crying again Scully
hugged her
"I need him Dana, his all I have" She said
"I know, we need to be strong" She said,
"I can't" She said
"We have to try Ms Mulder, Mulder needs us to" She
said, his mom nodded
"I'm going to try Dana" She said, sitting in the chair
beside his bed,
Scully left the room, Skinner sat in the waiting room
"Sir" She said, he looked round at her
"Any news?" He asked
"his been taken off morphine and antiobiotics" She
said, he smiled
"Thats great news" He said, Scully sat down beside him
"Maybe soon, all the tubes will be gone" Skinner said
"Maybe" Scully replied
"I'm going to make a phone call soon" Scully said
standing up
"I won't be long" She added, walking down the hall,
Skinner slumped back
in his seat, why was he kidding her Mulder was going to be ok,
there
was no telling but he was putting on this act hoping she wouldn;t
notice,
he stood up and walked into Mulders room, his mom sat crying
hugging her
son,
"Mr Skinner" She said, she watched him walked towards
her son
"I'm very sorry about your son Ms Mulder" Skinner said,
his mom nodded
"Thanks" She replied, looking back to her son, lying on
the bed, she
grabbed hold of his hand and held it gently, she sat staring for
ages,
until Scully arrived
"How you feeling?" Scully asked her, she smiled
"Better" She replied, still holding Mulders hand
"Scully, I better be on my way, I have some stuff to
do" Skinner said
"Ok" Scully said, as Skinner left the room
"his cut up about this" his mum said, Scully smiled
"I know, he won't admit it though" She said, Mulders
doctor walked into
the room
"Afternoon" He said, Scully smiled
"I checked on him this morning, there is some improvments
better"
he said smiling,
"I was thinking of getting him down for another scan
tommorow morning,
we need to see if the improvment is because the bruising is
deterioting" He
said, Scully nodded
"Thankyou for taking care of him" Scully said, the
doctor smiled
"All in a days work" He said, looking at Mulders chart,
he walked to Mulder
and felt his pulse
"Can I look at his chart?" She asked.
"Sure" he said handing her the chart, she began to look
through the chart
"His on Tygloxinnofat?" She asked
"I decided this would be a good idea, as it helps the blood
vessels
repair better, so that the bruising will go quicker" He
said, Scully
nodded
"his temperature was 102?" She asked
"Last night, this morning it was 98" He said, Scully
smiled
"What about his pupils?" She asked
"They're dialating a little better" He said, she smiled
"Thats great news" She saidm handing him the chart,
Mulders mom smiled
"Your right Dana, he is going to be ok" She said,
Scully smiled
"May I speak with you?" The doctor questioned, Scully
looked at him
oddly
"Sure" She said, following him into the hallway,
"I don't want you to get your hopes up" He said, the
smile fading into
a frown, Scullys smiled faded aswell
"I'm not, I'm just being positive" She said,
"I'm not saying you can't be positive, I just dont want you
to think
his going to be ok" He said, Scully nodded
"I know your point" She said
"You don't have to worry" She added with a soft smile,
he smiled back
and headed down the hall, Scully went back into the room
"What did the doctor want?" She asked
"To tell me some information" Scully said, she felt
guilty for lying
but it was the only way she could stop his mom from bursting into
tears
again, although she was still upset, she wasn't like she was at
first
"I'm real glad Dana" She said, smiling, Scully smiled
"Me too" She replied
NEXT DAY
07:21AM
