NANA

"Nana? Nana, is that you? Dearest Nana, what are 
you doing here?"

"I've come to help you sweet child, you needed me 
and so I'm here."

"But how Nana...why...?"

"Shh, child, let me worry about the why's and 
wherefores, I've come to help you."

"How can you help? I'm so tired, so weak. I can't 
wake Mulder up. He's so very cold. He save me, he 
saved my life and now I'm afraid he's going to die. 
I'm too weak to go further and there *is* nowhere 
to go, no shelter in this icy wilderness. There is 
no one to help us."

"Acushla, I'm here. I'm always here when you need 
me, you've always know that." 

"I'm so afraid Nana, afraid that he'll die, that 
he'll die and never know how I feel about him... 
how much I need him....Why are you laughing?"

"Oh my darling girl, all grown up and so 
sophisticated, yet so very young. Do you truly 
believe he doesn't know what is in your heart? Ahh, 
you young people, feeling the way you do about each 
other, and yet not a word has either of you spoken 
all these long years. What will it take before you 
are brave enough Dana?"

"I'm afraid...I'm afraid he won't feel the same 
way, I couldn't bear that. And now I may never have 
the chance."

"To be sure, you may not have told him in words 
Acushla, but he knows. He knows even now that it's 
your love that is holding death at bay. It's not 
his time yet, nor yours. That is why I was sent. To 
stay with you, to keep you awake and watchful until 
help comes."

"I'm so cold Nana, so very tired. I need to sleep, 
just five minutes rest that's all."

"If you sleep my love, it'll be the death of you 
both, in the ice and snow. You *must* stay awake , 
you *must* keep him warm, here I will help you, let 
me cover you with my shawl, that will keep you 
warm."

"But Nana, you need it, you...."

"I've had no need of the likes of that since you 
were little...do you remember the stories I used to 
tell you when you and I sat by the fire?"

"Yes Nana, it was so warm, so cozy, I used to love 
those times with you."

"Well, you just concentrate on keeping Fox warm..."

"It's not Fox, it's Mulder, Nana."

"Ach, is that right?  Sure, the lad won't mind an 
old biddy like me calling him Fox; you just 
concentrate on what you have to do, and I'll tell 
you a story. Do you remember the one that used to 
be your favorite?...."


*~*~*~*

"Sir! AD Skinner, they're over here!"

"God, are they alive?"

"It appears so. That's strange. Feel how warm they 
are. It's almost as if they've been covered with 
blankets. I don't understand...."

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I believe each of us has someone 
watching over us. This is the first piece I've done 
solely in dialogue.
