   Dana Scully's apartment
Febuary 11, 1997  6:26 p.m.

                          Dana sat on her bed, covered by the big, fluffy
comforter, writing a letter.  She paused awhile because of writter's cramp
and began to remember what had happened  just a few hours ago....

        // Dana walked into Skinner's office, there waiting for was her
partner, Fox Mulder, and seated behind his desk was her boss, Walter Skinner.
      She sighed and then spoke, "I'm very sorry that I was late, but my
computer had trouble printing."
    Mulder smiled, for the first time in days, he knew what an old piece of
junk for a computer they had.
   Skinner nodded, then spoke.  "Agent Scully, won't you have a seat?" He
gestured towards the empty seat next to Mulder.
    Dana sat and Skinner spoke again, "So, Agent Scully, why did you call
Agent Mulder and myself to this meeting?"
Dana glanced at the folder in her hands and then spoke, "Well, sir, I called
this meeting to give you this," she handed the folder to Skinner.  "And to
give you some important infromation."  Skinner opened the folder and peered
at the contents.  "What is this Scully?" he inquired.  Dana glanced over at
Mulder, who had a frightened look on his face, and continued, "It is my
official resignation from The FBI." she spoke softly but firmly.  
  Mulder stiffened in his chair, "Why Scully, what's wrong?".  By that time,
he crouched down beside her, his hand tightly grasping her's.
  Dana felt the tears well up in her eyes as she faced the man that she loved
with all her heart and soul and spoke again, "My doctor just informed me this
morning, when I went in for I check-up that-that-"  her words tightened, she
was now trying to choke out the words.  She glanced up at Skinner, who had
also stiffened his back straight up and was now filled with  fear, as Mulder
was.
   "It's okay Scully, tell us what he said." Mulder whispered.
  She took a deep breath and continued, "My doctor informed me that it would
be any day now..." she sucked in a deep breath once she finished, expecting
the worst.
   Mulder's featured softened, he couldn't believe it, his life, his only
love would be gone in the short time of a few days.  Dana had begun to cry,
and Mulder held her with all his might.//
    Dana felt a tear escape her eyes and she began to write the next letter:

      Dear  Fox,
          I smile as I write that name, I know how you didn't like to be
called by your name, but somehow, it feels right in this final letter from me
to you.  In a few days, I will be gone, gone from this earth, but hopefully
not from your heart.  Even though, when I die, my heart shall work in my
body, it will work in my soul.  And as it works, my soul will never forget
you, as I hope you will never forget me.   
       I am not afraid to die, but I am afraid of what I will lose after I
die.  After all these years of friendship, I can't help but wonder what it
would be like, if we were more.  Though, I must say, this wouldn't be the
*first* time I have thought about us.  I have been ever since I was returned.
 I love you will all my heart and I always will.  I do not know if you feel
or ever felt the same way, but I want you to know, that I will love you, even
when I am gone.  Because, love does not die with the body, it lives with the
soul.  And that's how my love for you will live, with my soul.  Fox, after I
am gone, I want you to continue the search as long as you can, find another
partner if you have to.  But, as a dying wish, I want you find to find the
truth and why this was done to me.  Please don't ever forget me and know
always that I love you, even if you don't love me back.
    Yours Eternally,
  Dana Katherine Scully.

      Dana finished the letter, put it in an envelope, then went to sleep,
trying not to think of the days ahead, when she would die.

                                            *******************
Fox Mulder's apartment
1 year later
    
              Fox Mulder sat at the dinner table, staring at his beautiful
wife.  He smiled with complete love for her.  Though a year ago, Dana Scully
had died, he was as happy as he could ever be.  Yes, Dana Katherine Scully
had died a year before, but Dana Katherine Scully-*Mulder* had been born the
day she was supposed to die, and he loved her more than anything.
            Dana stared back at her husband with equal love and then at her
growing stomach, with a new life inside, and was completely happy, especially
since she didn't have to use the letter she wrote one year before....

end.
