Authors note: I have really disorganised thoughts so now Skinners thoughts are the same, um... I wrote this last night during Pretender so it's not very good, actually I think the only thing worse is The End-Really. Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me they belong to Chris Carter, 1013, and the stingy Fox. If She Should Die By. Kelly Mullins I walk through the halls of this hospital thinking, thinking about the smoking man, Fox Mulder, Blevins, and Dana Scully, Dana Scully the one I love, I love her with all my heart. These last few weeks, months and especially days have been killing me. I see Mulder, he's sitting on the bench out side of Scully's room, he looks okay- probably better than me, she must not be dead yet, she's been quite close, boy has she been close a few times. I start to speak with Mulder- tell him about the Smoking Man he's dead, thank God. When I hand him the picture he seems a little... disturbed, not a good sign. One of us, I don't know if it was him or me says some thing about Scully, but it's Mulder who says it, Scully's cancer, it's in remission! He sounds so happy when says it, he loves her, not as a lover but as a friend, the best friend she could ever have. I ask to see her, I think I must sound so excited, but he sends me in, I try not to run in and straight to her, I don't know how I must look. I see her, she's awake, surrounded by her family, she sees me and I don't believe it , she smiles at me! After a moment of uncertainty I go and join in with her family. One day she will know how I feel and I'll be happy but for now just knowing she's alive is the most wonderful thing in the world. The End
