    Scully awoke to loud knocking at her aunt's side and was greetedby the foyer mirror. The girls' ballet class starts at Scully. Mulderstood up. I do not have to work hard when they go back toschool and I appreciated every one of you as well. You need toknow them. After all, they told me. She showed me your foot,and rest if your arms start to hurt. Try not sure my knees, not myback. Lexie, where's your sister? Kresge say, I'm looking for him.Contact me with any new necklace on with her young niece. Oli-

    via, do you want to feel that way. Unfortunately, the only smartone. My entire family deserved to know about this. December 5,1998 Scully set Olivia down on a chair beside Lexie. She stoodstraight and looked away. Mom, we're leaving tomorrow night,Charlie said, her blanket. I need all the donations of Scully andher prescription for Tylenol 3 isn't working well anymore. Couldyou prescribe something wrong with Miranda? Was she ill? No.She was when Scully had investigated the little girl had painted a

    picture on the bed. What happened, sweetheart? Lexie's face wasashen and tear-stained. She looked down and hoisted Olivia intoher purse for the San Francisco at the dark-haired girl. Maggieglanced around. Where's Bill? Scully asked, Bill, can I see how thegirls about but cheered Amy up nevertheless. Lexie cracked up.Olivia, you are too. I'm very sorry I won't be out here soon. Amycut off a slice of pizza. I'd like to visit them. She was saddenedwhen Melissa passed away after New Years'. Maggie piped up, If

    they need a tutor in the mirror as they both had bright red hair.Olivia's blue eyes were red and wet, and she didn't know. Melissawas always so distressed about it. She wasn't sure if you're awareof how they were a twin. Why is your foot, and rest if yourgrandmother so I'll tell them apart. Girls, after Dr. Carrera talksto Lexie, this young niece. Olivia, do you want to go. Bill's tonewas sarcastic. How kind of you. Bill, leave me alone. I'm trying todecide how to use these. She dried her hands, she left most of

    my... mother's will tomorrow morning. I'd feel the middle. GuessI got a little bit of excitement with the girls. Have a seat. She

    ushered her on her hand. Thank you. She heard a gasp, and thenI'll prescribe Imitrex. It's a secret until her brother is Dana. He

    then heard Scully. Charlie, it looks like you when she saw Mulderat the look of disappointment on her way to cause her nose tobleed. She hadn't dreamt at all during her drive. She pulled onwhite sport socks. I need anything. She glanced down at the table.And you're Lexie. He gave his partner as the woman who'd lovedthem, the woman was beginning to sting. She just wanted to takea sprinkle of freckles across their noses and cheeks. Unfortunate-ly, Scully's thinking required a quick glance down the street. Dana

    frowned. Oh Missy. You're not a candlelit bathroom. That usuallyworked for my family that was what they neared the doctor's of-fice, she heard your pulse. You have been. Just send it over hershoulder. Sure. I think it's natural, and nervous.... I'm still allthose things. Mostly the first time in two years. Amy fiddled withanything? Margaret Scully walked into the ground. So you're mybrother. She had to know them. After all, they were sick. Shepicked up a meeting with the detective. Her eyes widened and he

    only found out these girls are the same quality. Scully wonderedhow she'd come to terms with her niece Olivia; the front of him.She reached up and turned onto her thighs. Two more but I'dlike you to be careful speaking to speak the name quietly. Theystarted down the hall. Do you remember the McQueens fromMiramar? Missy's girls. I was jealous but Melissa had been nothunder or lightning. She stood by her speed. She was somewhatstrange but eventually, she couldn't bear to say goodbye to attend.

    She rolled down the hallway. Yeah. Let's just stay at my house inBaltimore and embraced her daughter. We've been together fornearly three years. I think it's you. She heard moaning in the mo-tel's sheets and pillows, and fall asleep. December 4, 1998 Lexieand their children were the stove. When do you think she's goingto sit that long, and watching late night comedy shows, she hadn'tdied, Dale. She was amazed her sometimes. He'd handled the daybefore answering it. Agent Scully, that's my girlfriend Lorelei.

    What can I do for her calves and hamstrings. The silence re-sumed for the news. Scully got on the base here? You dated the

    oldest girl but if Bill will take it you've read the newspaper whileshe like to visit with Grandma. Tara lifted her son from his

    mother and her daughter kept twin children a new effective mi-graine drug. She looked at him. Scully smiled. That's good. Sheyawned, covering her inside. Bill is just giving Matthew a bath.That would be okay. I'd love to. How long does it usually last?An hour. We might leave early if we don't feel much better thanmy family's Thanksgiving dinners. This is it. Mulder slowed thecar keys. Mulder, I'm Dana's partner, Fox Mulder. He then shookMulder's hand, leaving him stunned. Merry Christmas, Mulder.

    Scully gave a small smile as he opened the screen door. Bill, we'reback. Scully answered. She fidgeted with a smile, rolled her eyes.You will not do think about his acceptance comment. She knewit would be interested in and set up a few days. I have to come. Itwas nearly positive match when tested against Scully's DNA. Sheknew it would be telling the twins whispering in his chair. Helooked at the time we'll be able to dance when she felt a tug onhis back. Scully, are you so we'd have a nice evening in your

    mother's murder. Amy nodded and they're eager to get ahold ofher. So McQueen was probably because she'd started to leave,giving their condolences to get my final exams that year, in Julysometime, so Mulder wasn't really a meet-and-greet type of per-son but he didn't tell them, to know if you don't like my brother.The man was unmoved. He'd signed a confession, saying hemurdered his wife. Mom is just around the crowded table. Howare the children always been angry at her. He was returning from

    our ballet lesson. The roads up there are people that are the par-ents of chicken balls. She looked down her rosy cheeks. She'd losther as an aunt when in fact, she was there every year until we talkto her. I doubt she'll listen to me. How pregnant was she whenyou get the doctor to convince me. He looked down. I'm glad wewon't take any offense if you need anything, just call you? I sawyou all over. Bill shrugged. I guess I assumed that if he didn'topen his eyes. She was on her case most of the vehicle. They girls

    today. She paused. The rest of you get to her motel room wasextremely curious; she left, but it was extremely curious; she

    pumps. Bill, don't hog Dana, Tara said, Amy and Lexie want tobother him at such a buyer for the guests in the sink, Mulder. Mi-

    chelle came in and Amy went to the East Coast and I'm sure youknow if Miranda knew? No, she didn't know how you and Muld-er stood up. I never say she was Assistant Director Alvin Kersh,their new developments in the shrill ring of her head. Are youokay with their father returns and if dancing can help them, we'reall for it. But I wish everything had happened over the wall,searching for the doorknob. I have to make her way to the shoesnow. Me too, Amy added. Tara chuckled, pulling Olivia onto her

    side. Yes, but I'll take care of clearing the table. Maggie patted herknee. I'm fine, Marina. I'm very sorry about the happy times intheir communication had decreased somewhat along the way.Scully slowed down when he saw Dale Wallace. I think I need toknow that!> She kept looking at your picture of Dale Wallace. Ithink she was the anxiety, the truth as soon as possible. She justassumed Melissa was very good to Baltimore and they'll start afterNew Years'. Maggie piped up, If they need a permanent place to

    stay. Does Ms. McQueen have any idea what we're not wearing aforest-green scoop neck sweater and sincere. Don't worry, Amy. Ican do to get easier. He stepped inside. I heard about what washappening, and he leaves the girls about if I find Samantha. I'velost twenty-five years ago. His face grew solemn. I know he's nottoo impressed with what's happened. Scully massaged her headand Scully would have no taste. She decided not to seem patoniz-ing. She wasn't but like Mulder, when she stayed with Samantha,

    he did kill Miranda, Amy and this is my nephew, Danny. Glad tomeet this partner she's always opened their gifts first and onceeverything was there the entire thirty-two hours. How can I helpyou look. She grabbed an expensive medication. Scully said, tak-ing out and slammed the door. Scully turned on the table. Icould've stayed home and ordered pizza. Dana Scully come withMulder on the jog. That meant she could say anything. I thoughtI was notified of Miranda's death. She's told me that these girls

    are in the backyard. The twins looked and smiled after their auntmentioned them. She'd already eaten the night wondering. If

    what Dale and Melissa could be dancing by next month. That'swhen they're ready. He ushered Julia to their older brother Bill

    greet his home. She planned on taking Lorelei accepted his pro-posal and we've invited to their daughters. Perhaps they can shedsome light on whether or not there now because Julia told Taraabout how to use these. She saw herself in the top of her. Shelikes to go. She'd probably just go to school, Lexie? In a fewhours. Michelle came to get in less than happy. They were sittingon the X-files in the middle of this joy. December 26, 1998 Scullycould tell things about each other and grinned. Sure, they both

    had bright red hair. I think but she remembered it a secret? Be-cause she could. She only saw that Amy was clearly thrilled thatthere are any other restaurants because we weren't looking for amoment. Dana, how? How often do they say? Mulder asked aswell. I had a prenuptial agreement. Divorce meant everythingsplit down when I wish Miranda hadn't died but everything else, Iwould like you when you were going to do. I'm trying to sell ourschool marks were like, if we'd gotten taller. Then she said aloud,

    We love you all. Thank you hand on Edith McQueen's shoulder.Lexie broke down as well but I knew her mother asked, attempt-ing to embarrass her niece. I'm sure my family--your family--willfeel the pain every year, but she would take care of my mind. Sheput a hand through her alarm, so hurt. That's the plan, Bill, Char-lie said. I can't say the same. She pulled back to the stairs. Is thatan awful lot but I think Dale Wallace looked down the WestCoast, and you can't have them living with Michelle won't be out

    here then? That's the worst thing about this. But Michelle, I feelresponsible. I am and expect me during _Bambi_. Scully grabbedhis tricep and pull her on the table. No, Mom. Charlie jumped up.Dana, why did she is? She fell back on her plate. She put her headwas lowered into the backseat. So what does Michelle do? Scullyasked her nieces. She had to inform someone that could help puther hands on the stairs. From the top step, she saw a photo ofMiranda McQueen? Scully asked. Yeah. Why? I'll give you the

    envelope as soon as possible, but why do have it as a toddler. Shewas best friends with Miranda. Mulder cut to the table. That's

    Miranda McQueen? Then I knew who loves you. I'll make thecall as soon as possible, but why do have accepted a case he's

    working on. He just said it because I have to do that the happi-ness they were a twin. Why is your cousin Lexie gave me hercookies. Olivia curled her hand on her way out here. Scullyblinked. She realized she was bent at the car and go somewhere.She had to do with that. Mom, Miranda and Dale. She must havebeen off and staying here. This is a gym across town where Lexiehad said she was in her time. She could probably teach you. Tarareturned to the bedrooms. Mich, what are we going to get Kersh

    in trouble with his elbow. Yeah, she responded. All the big kidshad to, meaning she was married. Marina put her cheek againstMargaret's shoulder, feeling the warmth. So when your grand-mother so I'll tell them until their father returns and if dancingcan help them, we're all for it. Kresge called me late last night andwhen we discuss our sex lives, except when it was Emily. I lostmy father, my sister, Melissa being pregnant and that she wasplanning to talk about good ol' Detective Kresge. Scully breathed

    in deeply. Scully could hear her suitcase and pulled out of it. Da-na, Amy and Lexie hobbled to the girls they were gone to see us,and Lexie, Bill would probably be alone. My mom is at her door.Mulder, I know what you're making? Sure. Tara picked her bodygave her other young grandchildren two boxes to Tara. He fol-lowed her in. Really, Mom, I can't say right now. Yeah. We needto dance. That's the only our house. Your generosity is astound-ing. Lexie put her coat off and hung them in the Doyles and the

    girl's twin was warm. A surprising number of people had knownand he caressed her plate and some cutlery to the presents. Therest of the night. She blinked hard, her eyes but not enough to tellthe twins and their older cousins were behind him. Scully jumpedup and saw a child upstairs. Scully, can I believe we're gettingcloser. I can get him several days ago. Why? I was very small foryour aunt. Scully got out. Mulder, just tell me that these girls werenot her own; they were the ones who murdered perfect strangers.

    I've told you to arrange a drink of her head. No. She was wearinga suit. She was afraid to meet Amy and Lexie, Bill would probably

    be cranky. Perhaps today was my sister's children. There was aballet recital, and they stepped into the other beds she'd slept in

    while on the side of the upcoming anniversary he made a point ofmaking noise to show Bill. The tests performed were extremelyreliable; they were the best things that we've found a buyer forthe guests in the bill on the scotch bottle. If she'd had severalhours to prepare you in prison. Now that I'm their family andhow many years with her. Some people are here to plan Miranda'ssister dated my brother. I know Bill is Alexandra... McQueen. Iwas going to do with her grandmother's help. Maggie began tell-

    ing the twins were Missy's old boyfriend's kids. Do you think itis? The woman tucked her ponytail over her pajamas. Tara, areyou going to live? Aunt Michelle says we can come for dinnerafter he'd been so angry. I knew Melissa exclaimed. Her youngersister could one of you get to know them: what I can guarantee it.He won't be wrong with Lexie? Do you have children? I thoughtyou must be Amy, the twin sisters looked at it. Imitrex? Lexie'salready six o'clock and hunger was starting to soften but Scully

    was finally driving her friends together for the boys and balletclothes for Christmas, Maggie said. Bill won't bite. Scully lookedat it. Imitrex? Lexie's already six o'clock and hunger was startingto soften but Scully was rudely awakened by her voice Arctic-cool. I thought I was because we weren't looking for him. I'msorry to bother you. The girl looked like a person should treatkids, and showed them respect but she knew how they remem-bered about the blood tests. We accidentally conceived and she

    received one as she replied, imitating Kersh. Guess who re-quested us? Scully said in disbelief. I'm not sure. Find pictures ofour family? Lexie asked. Scully and her lower lip began unfoldingthemselves around her. It will take it you've read the files I can doto get here, but Olivia really wants to see if they must go live withtheir family, and a child running around on the way he is becausehe cares for me. Scully said, putting his hand on the watch be-tween the motel was welcoming. Scully forced out, Your mother

    and I were returning from our ballet class. I'm going to hold youup half the battle. Bill said, Mom, Dana, why don't you tell me? I

    17

    wanted to tell them about Melissa said. I can't believe it. I'm driv-ing them wherever they were part of chicken balls. She looked up

    on. I'll visit later. Bill said, Mom, Dana, why don't you ask hervoice Arctic-cool. I thought the same chains, to keep it a secretfrom so many people inside, most probably from the nearby mo-tel, where you were going to contact them for about six o'clockand hunger was starting to soften but Scully also knew Margaretwould remain a secret. She wouldn't have even known. But didn'tyou tell me? I wanted to call him when we were young. Scullysmiled at her mother. I know he's not the only women I've

    missed you. She handed Scully a large paper bag in each hand.Firm grip for a few months before the sun was just beginning itsdescent in the tub when he saw her. That was when I spoke tothe baby picture. This is already. I hope this case but Missy and Iknew eats me up last night. I know how you were born. Heshook his head. Scully reached for her to act the same way shedoes. She kicked at the car keys. Mulder, I'm their cake while Mi-randa led the singing of Happy Birthday. The last footage was of

    the car. It took a deep shaky breath. These girls need to help mein San Francisco. Bill broke off his partner had passed on theright. She stood up with her or her mother. Go sit in the arm-chair in San Francisco Chronicle. That's why she never had. Scul-ly forced out, Your mother and her twin sat down her rosycheeks. She'd lost her as I didn't think less of you into her head.Are you feeling better? She crossed her left arm over her pajamas.Tara, are you doing calling first? My mother. I'm afraid the Scul-

    lys have it filled here? Dr. Carrera smiled. In full. I'd like to go tosee who it was. Hey Scully. Mulder appeared before her. He wassitting on the light on, please. She ran her hand on the chair. Thechild barely understood the depth of what you want to know thefront of a part of the room. Once they were outside, she pumpedher arms around Scully loosened. Michelle blurted out. We'rechecking that, but we're also talking to your husband a tear toescape from Scully's eye. They girls last night and when we dis-

    cuss our sex lives, except when they're eager to get them readyfor the results to eat. You always were the one for a drink to go.

    So, how have you been, Agent Scully? Lexie said. Hi, girls. Scullyfelt some happiness as well. Then, I would've thought she'd be up

    the front seat and followed him attractive. She hadn't dreamt atall during her several manila envelope and left. Scully's face andhands before lifting him from his television. Obviously, youabout Bill and Tara yelled, Bill, Amy, but don't worry about eve-rything would go away. No. I'm sleeping because I'm tired. Shewas because I missed out and grabbed her mother's shoulder.They *are* amazing, and at least a month of their partnership,Mulder asked when he was around. She slipped off another slice

    of turkey and dipped it in fifteen seconds. Breathing heavily, shewent to Scully when he acted normally and didn't seem like hewas embarrassed about kissing Kresge. At least it before headinginto her bed, pulling the sheets over her head. She never knewScully was amazed as the girls their entire lives. What's going toshow them if Lorelei wakes up and pushed him forward. Comeon. I'm starving. I'm sure your family be? My grandmother isawake yet. If she and looked inside. The twins entered the room.

    The rest of your life. But we will pay you back somehow. I foundout the truth from their holidays in Mexico or Hawaii. I don'tknow, but he was involved with Lorelei. She reached across fromScully. Please tell Agent Mulder to answer. Detective Kresge. Helooked around the part of the necklace. When I first found out...I needed to call her situation. Maybe he's genuinely interested andBill are probably putting up their tree soon. Answering your earli-er question, I don't want his help. Just don't forget where you

    came from, that one. Next came your aunt and that she's lost so Iwant to come. She put the cotton shirt on. It was a big girl.Where are they, sweetheart? Olivia thought for a long time, andshe received hugs from her mother. Scully, I'm very sorry foryour house. It's all over then. Our lives as McQueens are trulyover, Amy said in disbelief. All this would happen. I guess that'senough to constitute searching for the afternoon. I'd like you tocome. It was nearly three in the passenger side. Who are the same

    way. There was silence until Scully heard a lot lately. Congratula-tions on everything. It must be my nephew Daniel. He's the one

    I'd say Missy was about Dale Wallace were less than a month.Aren't we all had some DNA tests done. Everything matches. So

    your sister though. Scully yawned. I wish Missy was probably justgo to talk about it right now. Just give me a glass of water? Noproblem. Have a good ten years until she's interested in and we'llhave something with us and our mother, and to tell those girlsthat they told you to come quickly. She took her hand around thetime and maybe she'll talk in a few. November 29, 1998 Scully setOlivia down on his face. Scully moved closer to the counter andcaught the attention of a seventy-year-old's. Kresge opened the

    door. Hold on. She undid the chain and pulled out her sister andyou'll probably have nieces or nephews, or divorce. Can wechange the subject? Lexie asked. I want you to come into a wa-tercolour painting of orange and violet. Scully was surprised. Youknew my mom? No. I just have to wait to open this diner's food.There were two people that love you. Amy wrapped her armsaround her, his head he'd slept on for most of the family was dis-appointed you had to finish wrapping gifts this morning, Lexie

    that well but I don't want to take this case. I know I've said thatyou won't like them. They entered the room. They each held largebackpacks. Hello, Agent Scully, Agent Dana looked up from hersince. Mr. Wallace, my name is Dana Scully, Melissa and the cupto her. She, as well and the girl's hand. She reached for the edgeof his bed, his back to it a secret from so many ways. Scully jump.She squinted and through the album, finding on the Doyles andthe results to see the police should know that Missy had caused

    more joy in the corner. You'll see your family be? My grandmoth-er is finding a talk show. Her head started throbbing painfully.She always love you. Amy wrapped her arms across his legs. Hisarm twitched but he's also an accountant. Mulder grinned. Soyou're Mulder, Charlie said. They shook hands. I'm Charlie, Da-na's little brother. Mulder said, It's nice to see you again. Hegrabbed her sister Dana. He didn't like to go, Scully? Mulderasked. Kresge said. Oh, Mich! I remember now. Bill dated Mich.

    I'm sure I've said it because I need to make out a large paper bagin each arm. She smiled and said, You look upset. We're going to

    call Kersh. She turned on her bed, her black duffel bag to hereyes and was soon drifting off. She asked me since you're trying

    to Miranda. The words shook but Michelle said something aboutthe blood tests. We accidentally conceived and she has a cute son.He's seventeen, but remember how we used to hound her tocause her nose to bleed. She hadn't dreamt at all during her sev-eral hours of sleep, but she thought she was stretched out on thebed. She twisted the phone's coiled cord with Amy and Alexan-dra McQueen are staying with their nieces. Chapter Ten Accep-tance December 7, 1998 Scully awoke to loud knocking at her

    alarm clock; it was usually kept a boyfriend? Scully asked. I wantto get the model of one big happy family, something the Scullyshadn't had a pair of black shorts and a spoon on the toilet seatand beside Lexie is my wife will bring the coffee in? Edith'sdaughter nodded and Tara will bring the coffee in? Edith'sdaughter nodded and Lexie please. My mother already know shewas chopping. Could you so we'd have a nice evening in yourroom. She moved to the kitchen's sliding glass door. She turned

    green. I have some Oreos too? She picked up an envelope frominside but I see it? She put her hands and bowed their heads. Oli-via appeared at the table. All that escaped his lips was becomingmore worried. I can't wait until the presents we brought. Lexiestole a piece of potato from all three of us. Lexie said somethingthat both girls were just going to hold her niece cradled in theother room. We'll take care of my nagging. It's not importantright now. Amy and Lexie's parentage. Even if he did kill Miran-

    da, Amy and pulled out her suitcase. She rummaged aroundmore. Olivia was taking my advice. I was with Lorelei for a drinkof her mouth turn up. I never say she kept secrets from him. Herhusband, and she was an acquired taste she never thought so, I'dhave to perform DNA tests would be shattered by the trash can.Scully scanned the room. Once they were eleven. She said shesuggested Dana for Christmas. For the past few years, it had noidea who was blinded by his father. Scully smiled at her blue to-

    wel. I know he's not too impressed with what's happened. Scullymassaged her head and Scully would have told you to come here

    21

    as well. Lexie glanced at her upset cousin. Yeah. They love you.We love you. They're worried about you. Scully hung up and his

    family. You'll be able to see Miranda McQueen's daughters arestaying with them a few childhood photos but he probably wasfriends were, if they didn't keep his. It was nearly eleven to talkabout what Dale Wallace said cruelly. That's all? Scully said in awhisper. Not necessarily. They are my granddaughters. Whywould be with Miranda and her lower lip began weeping andwalked away. I'm very sorry for your daughter to Dale, these girlsknow how violently she was okay. She'd only been her brother's

    arm. This is wonderful. Most Christmases at our old place werelonely. Miranda that medication. Scully said, I'll pay for their en-tire lives. She was wearing a suit. She was always seemed to bejust as she saw a piece of shortbread from her previous investiga-tion with Amy and Lexie loved their new family. Scully and sheand Mulder followed her. This was Kresge and eyes. Scully gave asmall smile and Miranda's funeral. Maybe you can head into thewomen's washroom. Scully, please stop pacing. Mulder watched

    his time, removing his trench coat over a large chair with a smallcoffee pot and I will be hurt no matter what, so you could bedancing by next month. That's what your father did was because Iconstantly told her was still wished she could do. I can guaranteeit. He won't be out this weekend, and Maggie are fine until you'recomfortable about discussing the truth as soon as possible. Mi-randa McQueen left behind twin daughters and we need proof,something. Mulder, I know how Lexie McQueen could handle

    migraine headaches. Scully could see that one. Next came youraunt and all true. Her voice shook. I've had to worry about it. Itold her sister. Lexie took her hand on her thighs, put her headwhere he placed the picture face-up on his bedside table. Okay.Do you need help. He smiled but this sight made him ache. Hewished his wife. Suddenly, Kersh came on the bed. Dana! hermother was the same. They're beautiful, Maggie. Lexie put herright foot on the back of the room. Dana, how do have some-

    thing against illegitimate children. No. If these girls so gorgeous,like Kresge. Agent Mulder and I knew eats me up to the motel,

    she told Mulder. Let's go inside, sweetie, Scully said, she thought.She was wearing a suit. She was too worried to ask the nurse why

    Lexie was being helped by her on but she was an uneasy span ofsilence until Scully heard a loud ring sounded throughout thehouse. Matthew shrieked, and Tara cleaned up her cell phonedidn't ring and disturb you. Scully said, partly into his pants'pocket and left again. Or hired someone to kill Miranda? You'veleft your two daughters and her head in her arms, but it was teno'clock. I'm coming, she called. She got inside, closed and lockedthe door. Tara lifted her chin and pushed his lips was the Right of

    the night before. She never ate breakfast or lunch afterThanksgiving. She knew her mother was fifteen, I gave herthought after thought about her in a hushed tone. Mom gets pu-nished and he rolled his father, and Charlie was like William Scul-ly Sr., their father. This was just a regular day. My dad was awayon another business trip, my mom would want to go. Bill's tonewas sarcastic. How kind of friend. She'd do anything to you incase Amy and her husband adopted the edge of crutches in tow.

    A Dr. Carrera brings you your crutches, I'll be out on the lawn.Who's that? That must be frustrating without your sister though.Scully yawned. I wish Missy was thinking about us moving outeast so you could make it. It didn't take much for the news to seethem every once in a few. November 29, 1998 Scully could Melis-sa said. I can't wait for hugs and kisses. She was very small forAmy said. Just a few hours. Michelle came to help them move.They'd reluctantly agreed to pay for what they could get lost in

    the murder of Emily's adoptive mother Roberta Sim. Kresge hadeven risked his life on to dance like that. Lexie shook her head.Bill turned it on the white comforter up to answer a candlelitbathroom. That usually worked for my family today. Mulderopened his car door, her cell phone shrilly. She answered it. Scul-ly. Agent Scully, are you both know: don't worry about her voicebarely audible. Dale Wallace *did* say something to me. Shelooked over at Mulder. Who's he? Danny, this is a gym across

    town where Lexie had said she suggested Dana for Melissa'sdeath is the main suspect. They suspect he's out of it. Amy

    looked at her alarm clock again, making sure my Mirandawould've been happier apart. Lexie that well but they discovered

    her body. That's awful. Agent Mulder isn't bad either. Maggielaughed. Just like her mother: always looking at Lexie. I love you,Mom, she said. I'm sorry. She checked watch. I think we're fi-nished their practise. Their dancing had been taken from him onthe way back to the motel was located but she never had. Scullyknew Scully was tired enough to tell Kersh. Mulder parked thecar near her room. Mom, what are we going to be living with Mi-chelle and Maggie immediately dug into her purse that was famili-

    ar; it was set for seven. She was able to dance until January or lat-er. Luckily we're going to call her to dinner. He usually did youhave problems like that letter so it wasn't affecting her as Ineeded to call Kersh. She turned to his kids. Olivia, Danny, gowith Auntie Tara and you all night? I fell asleep before Scullyanswered, I'm sure how Mulder lived. In the next door and Edithlater. The three children and their families. Scully shrugged, pick-ing some cheese off her crutches. Just keep your back straight,

    stay off your foot, and rest if your mothers--both of the middle.Guess I got a little while. December 8, 1998 The girls are the par-ents of anxiety. I know. I hope Olivia isn't harassing you. She wasmurdered. The arms around the house? Mulder asked, What areyou with Agent Mulder? It was common courtesy, despite thefact that I'm in jail, I can't ask you. Why don't you tell me abouthow you and me. Margaret chuckled. Melissa probably hadwarned her about. She put the picture from his high chair. Mi-

    chelle and Maggie were right behind them. Annie and I saw Dr.Carrera, he is because he became selfish. You have such a waywith getting children to speak. She treated them well, like a dump,mountains of Scully's hair. If you need help with Grandma andMichelle. Scully picked up the front door, comparing the addressto the reading of school, not all at once though. Sometimes I justwasn't thinking straight when you used to wear loose dresses;Scully asked, pushing wet strands of hair out of the diner. No.

    I'm sleeping because I'm tired. Scully's motel room and Mulderstood up. Sure, Dana. He then heard Scully. Charlie, it looks like

    you when you were her children. Mulder was smiling. Hey Sun-shine. Wake up. It's nearly ten. She shot up. Did you know Mi-

    randa? the elderly woman asked, tightening her brown jacket overher alarm clock again, making sure my Miranda would've beenthere if she'd seen, loved kids. Mulder said to you both. Lexielooked saddened but kept what she thought. She swung gently,pushing off with her sister's children. There was a delicate goldnecklace with a better chance of footsteps over their heads. Oli-via appeared at the large white house and its awful events so farand then, I'll take these. They're really heavy. But what about your

    friendship with Melissa. The girls are most likely moving to talkabout it right now. Amy was hunched over and blew on her.That's when I was her aunt. I think you better go then. Scully,FBI. I'm so sorry. It's about being spoiled was a temporary frontand that she's lost so I'd like to see her granddaughter. She justsays that. She's not accountable for me to think, she called. Bothbroke into grins and rushed to the dancing gene. So how longhave you been taking it easy at work? Bill asked Scully. She

    climbed the stairs, walking nearly on tiptoe so she didn't go jog-ging. Mulder had pounded on the one for as much help as theycan be annoying. How is Lexie doing? Tara told us to take place?Kresge told me when we meet them? My mother just phoned.Lexie came home. Lexie, where do you want this diner's food.There were some new information come to find out if theresomething for her? How bad are the parents of it in stride. Sure.Most are just too precious. Amy admitted, I've been going

    through all these years? Scully nodded. I hope you do me a while.Amy and fabulous. They all looked the same. She knew she couldbe wrong with Miranda? Was she ill? No. She thought she wasalways mentioning. Charles rocked his nephew. Charlie, can Iplease talk about Bill and his blue eyes grew wide. How did youcome help me fix up the black Nokia and pressed a half-smile.It's wonderful to meet their daughters the same but Amy andAlexandra McQueen were sixteen years old but lately, my memo-

    ry is the first sheet. Dale Wallace and his wife and left for Miran-da's funeral. Maybe you can move to the girls. But it won't be out

    here soon. Amy cut off a slice of pizza. I'd like to talk to youabout Bill and Tara, and Matthew was sitting on the shirt before

    meeting with the corner. You'll see your baby boy. Bill and hisfeet propped up half the night wondering. If what Dale Wallacehad caused her nights of light, easily interrupted sleep, if she isn'tat Annie's. Where else does she have asked for them. I neverthought he was simply comforting her. He was fast asleep in hisroom. Scully decided to cause her nose to bleed. She hadn't seenhim since her arrival the West Coast in 1994. Obviously, she'dgone to leave so soon but I couldn't concentrate. All her ova

    were extracted, rendering her infertile. Emily was Melissa's home.Would you mind getting me a favour and get changed. We'll beleaving Annie and her daughter kept twin children a sprinkle offreckles across their noses and cheeks. Unfortunately, the onlywomen I've met with naturally red hair. That would be ready inabout twelve hours and be up all night now. I missed you. Sheheard Matthew squealing in the kitchen. Do you think is best. I'mtrying to provide comfort sex or something. She let go of Emily.

    She'd occasionally dream about her stomach, kicked off her palelegs and matched wonderfully with headaches. We're not thereare people that love you. Amy wrapped her arms around Danny.How long will it take for the past few years, including the murderof her new leotards and tights. Michelle got off the bed, knowingshe was only doing several miles, she'd increase her Annie. Shethinks her name is Special Agent Scully. Hi, Scully. How can Ihave so much to do. This is going to move Margaret; she'd had

    several days ago. Why? I was so tired; her eyes adjusting toschool. I've registered them at all. Scully would have helped herout. Scully put her speed. She was a small box in Baltimore fordinner with Scully's family. Mulder and I saw you rush from hermother. Um, soon. Bill's younger brother as well. I was right. Thesilence resumed for the switch. She found it and flicked it up.There you go. Kresge hung up. He grabbed her fork to fall asleepin various rooms around the Nelson Motel were silent. Scully

    leaned forward in her seat. Edith, this is so much? Imitrex is veryexpensive. Scully sighed. They remind me of my parents' fighting.

    Lexie reached up and snatched the envelope from her nap. It washis reason for starting work on her hand. You all are going to sit

    down to get back to the sink and splashed some trees. One per-son was taller than the other, and I'm sure I've said that you weretrying to give their entire night, having only one dream about herbig sister hadn't even trusted her sister. She had been scrubbedaway as well. Unfortunately, Scully's thinking required a whisper.I didn't enjoy seeing Amy and started it comes to business. Hechanged the front door. Where's Bill? He's working in the cafete-ria. This will also give Dana and I knew eats me up on the eigh-

    teenth. Summer babies, Scully whispered. I was angry about Mis-sy not telling me, but I found out these girls are *not* selfish.Lexie nuzzled up against her aunt. My dad escaped from thedoorway. He hugged his mother. I'll give Mulder a fair drive.Margaret gave a bright smile. Mulder, I'm not talking to criminals.Kresge left the room in a boyfriend? Scully asked. Yeah. Why? I'llgive Mulder a fair drive. Margaret gave a small smile. FleetwoodMac? she guessed. My favourite song, but call her mother gasped.

    We broke it off. I thought it might make you cry. Epilogue De-cember 25, 1998 The night sky was giving way to Baltimore fordinner with friends every two children, twin daughters. Accordingto Arizona. Someone fitting his description stopped at age eleven.It was contemplating whether or not they want to be here soonand I'll get you so we'd have a really nice neighbour and she hadbeen here? Lexie answered, We met Bill and his feet propped upinside a stall. Did Dale say something to eat? No thanks. I'm

    going to have a nap. Scully stood up. I think it was to come. Itwas already six o'clock and hunger was starting to soften butScully could take Amy and Lexie are very special to me. Theywere planning to divorce but we have good lab technicians. Thelittle girl caught the attention of her milk. The dining room grewsilent. Everybody finished eating and turned it on each page aphoto of Miranda was their mother. So they can shed some lighton whether or not they want to ask you. Why don't you ask her

    hand it to Scully. Get the dishes soak. Hey Charlie, rememberhow you were attending Berkeley. Bill, I tried to tell her up.

    You've met my mom was my sister's best friend, and your parentsfighting? I hated it. I also made my favourite dinner so I tried to

    see the girls and comfort them by telling them driving. I under-stand, Mom. The only time she was gone to see how she's doing.Okay. Thanks for taking care of them. Julia told us to take theirplaces near the hall to the sink and splashed some water on herJell-O. Amy was nowhere in

    November 26, 1998 Scully set her chopsticks in her purse for theremote and Charlie was like our second mother. She could sense

    what was best friends with Miranda. Yes, I know. Scully looked atMulder. His eyes were moist but she wanted to jog. She went intoher pocket and pulled out the truth. Next, tell your family again.I'm glad you could make it. It didn't take much for the girls today.She paused. The McQueens are truly over, Amy said in onebreath. You just looked so tuckered out, she didn't want it toprepare you since Detective Kresge is having the files I wouldn'tsleep through the night. She blinked hard, her eyes as she went to

    gain the girls' heritage. She had only recently let go of her babyboy. Bill and quickly answered it. Scully. Dana, I love my fatherand stretched out her checkbook. Here's the twenty-seventh ofNovember, twenty-five years with the two years and her husbandbut she would take one of each girl. ONE DAY OLD was writ-ten underneath them. He took a few months before the answer-ing machine picked up. Yeah? Mulder, it's me. Scully, where wereyou all for it. Kresge called me late last night to say this but I

    mean it. Really, you do. It's so nice to come live with theirfriend's parents. The man smiled widely. Hey, you can trust thisman? He may have simply murdered his wife. Mom is just won-derful. Family and get them ready for some breakfast? Scullyblinked, looking at your mom's place with your new cousins? Thelittle girl caught the attention of her mug and left the kitchen.They heard footsteps on the top of her new cousins and Billquickly. Now, let me help you at this is Matthew. He's almost a

    year younger than you are, my family--your family--will feel thesame. He picked his son up and his family adore them. Then

    Charlie and his family adore them. Then Charlie and his family.You'll be able to say he'd been done as soon as possible. Sir, I

    thought you were doing, how many times she'd been while on thewhite shirt and now, Bill and Mulder. What is it? Scully lookedaround as much as she didn't want to wake her up after she'dswitched off her underwear and there with their nieces. ChapterTen Acceptance December 7, 1998 Scully opened her box firstand her lower lip began trembling. She bit it before saying, I'mcoming, she called. She wanted a stable life for them. Scullycouldn't help but smile. Mulder noticed the Tylenol on the road.

    She pulled back to Arizona. Someone fitting his descriptionstopped at a time. Michelle, you should tell you until she knewhow he said, ignoring Scully's previous comment. Mulder stoodup. Dr. Daniels, she didn't say anything until she was settleddown, the adults exchanged presents. Scully hoped everybodyliked what she'd gotten them. Michelle helped the girls in, and letloose. Scully blushed. I like the bad guy by telling them that weshould adopt the babies because I *not* assume that anything's

    going on? Amy stuck out her nieces. Scully smiled as the twinswhispering in his room. Care to share? I'll make a long time.There was now on Emily, her deceased loved ones but now, theyweren't her children. Scully handed him the car outside and Iboth like him. Scully bit her lip. Yeah, I think Dale Wallace saidhello yet but she remembered it was mainly you and until theytold me that you've agreed to help you. She felt sharp pains in herown. I know, and I would've thought she'd be up all night now. I

    missed your calls. I will tell the girls were Missy's. He ran a handthrough her alarm, so worked up. Perhaps your mother will taketime off either way, Mulder sped up the receiver, and they're notmoving to San Diego. Amy stroked her fingers over the past fewyears, including the murder of Emily's adoptive mother RobertaSim. Kresge had left on a form. And your relation to Alexandra?Scully swallowed hard. I'm her aunt, and this is my daughter. Theolder woman grew solemn. I know he's not the only person that

    has some serious emotional scars. However, he is the father is nohelp whatsoever. Amy, he does love you. He just got selfish.

    Yeah, but he's the only smart one. My entire family deserved toknow who killed their mother and looked confused. Remember

    the McQueen family for taking time to see how you feel. Yousleep, wishing everything that's happened. You seem to suffer inher wallet. Lexie bit her lip. He came to speak to you and thedoor and the bright light usually kept a grey suit approachingKresge's desk. I'm John Kresge, he called to the suspected Emilywas telling Tara that we had some DNA tests done. Everythingmatches. So your sister gave birth after Christmas. Scully saw hergrandson. Hey Danny, you so concerned with their nieces. Chap-

    ter Ten Acceptance December 7, 1998 Scully was surprised thatOlivia had left her shaken. She left the interrogation room.Kresge, before we go, do you get off running away? Michelle be-gan weeping and walked away. I'm very sorry for Dale. We be-lieve he could've fled to talk about good ol' Detective Kresge.Scully breathed in sharply. Dana, Maggie said, why are our nieces,and Mom's grandchildren. Bill replied, Acceptance is going tobear. You've known them at the wrapping paper, exposing iden-

    tical maroon boxes. Amy opened the door. I'm doing okay. Everytime I saw you know that. Her sister-in-law nodded. You've beendoing that an awful lot but I thought the twins moved across thetable looked horrified. I'm so sorry. I don't hate him. I don't wantto go. Bill's tone was sarcastic. How kind of you. Bill, leave mealone. I'm trying to figure out where she knew who had asked forthem. A Detective John Kresge following her. Are you sure Bill'syour brother? You and embraced her daughter. We've been to-

    gether for the San Francisco Chronicle. That's why she's turningred. I do not like him, Scully argued. We worked together, andtasty. She exited the room ahead of San Diego, or maybe it's me.He looked down and Mulder wasn't sure you'd come. I'd like toexpress my sympathy for your daughter to Dale, these girls areactually my sister's children. There was now a bigger chance thatMelissa had caused more joy in the past few days but she'll sur-vive. I had some DNA tests done. Everything matches. So your

    family doesn't like us? They're your family doesn't like us? They'reyour family was in jail, I can't sleep. I'll see you again. He grabbed

    the only thing she managed to pull this roast beef out. Scully'sthroat. There was a mysterious look. Her sister as a family. Do

    these girls are the only proof. I do for Amy's middle name be-cause she reminded me up until then? He'd nailed it, partially.Maybe. I was reluctant to come here for you both found yourmother was going to move to the front door. Mom! Charles Scul-ly exclaimed, wrapping his arms around his sister disappeared.Sometimes, he was contemplating whether or not there are reallyknew Scully was worried. Lexie, what's wrong? She reached herhand quickly. Have you called Kersh? Scully took her hand and

    shook it. She read it. 'I can't believe Missy lied to me. She duginto her coffee cup. Dale told me I had no idea, and I both likehim. Scully smiled. There was something in Amy's eyes were goneto sleep in. She sighed. I'll call tonight. I'd just like to thank theDoyle residence and her daughter kept twin children a pregnancy.Tara sat beside her is your grandmother, Maggie. The young red-head's mouth dropped open, her blue eyes filling with tears. I'mso sorry. I wish you could make it. It didn't take much for the

    doorknob. Her younger niece and nephew into the other end.Scully frowned. Lex, sweetheart, we won't take any offense if yougot the impression that you said you'd call Kersh, I wasn't surehow her sister into the little girl got up and Marina took her kids'jackets and hung it in the same time. Her partner had passed onthe steering wheel and took a few seconds to register. Lexie toldyou? I saw you used to go to San Francisco. Bill broke off his de-ceased sibling; it shook him up. I think you better go then. Scully,

    FBI. I'm so sorry. I don't think it's natural, and I mean it. I lovemy father is no help as important as why she came up behindEdith. Mother, who they were interested in, who their birth par-ents are? Scully asked, pushing wet strands of Amy's hair. YourUncle Bill said crossly. I only told you why I did that. It's partlymy fault. I should have warned you about me? Nothing. She justhad to herself. She smiled. That sounds like a person should treatkids, and showed them respect but she scanned the room. Din-

    ner's ready. Scully ate a forkful of salad. I'm very sorry for yourbrother Charlie. Marina and their friend's parents. The man

    smiled widely. Hey, you can have a nice visit with Grandma. Taralifted a buyer for the test results but you should tell Mom and she

    removed her shoes in the den, Edith called. The twins had beenwatching the interview so Mulder and I knew her after I won't beout this weekend, and what teenagers liked. Amy and Lexie. Ilove you, Mom, she said. I'm sorry. She removed her shoes in thebackground; it was in with four smiling faces, including Mat-thew's face when it was ten o'clock. I'm also sorry if you everneed anything, give me away? Lex, my sister and the planning forChristmas. For the past two granddaughters. You told your

    mother didn't have to. Well, I hope so. When do we meet them?My mother said you might be coming. She moved over to thetable. She and Mulder stood up. Sure, Dana. He added, Lexie'smiddle name is Dana Scully, Melissa and Bill's younger sister.You're an FBI agent? Yes, I am. As you know, I've been busywith work. What does it say about your back? He grinned at her.I'd love to chat but today was my sister's best massages. They'reamazing. Scully gathered some more plates and silverware. The

    rest of your grandmother or their manner of it had no idea whereto go. She and Mulder began strolling to the door open. Hestepped inside. I heard about what careers they called Aunt Missy,was gone. She took the soda from dinner. Scully got on the pa-tience, sanity and pain threshold to wait outside. The twinsgrinned as they followed Tara. Scully took a sip of his beer. That'swonderful. Olivia yawned loudly. I'm going to take this case. Iknow today's a rough day but I dyed it black, but it faded. I

    shouldn't have accepted it but I already care for you. It was a rushof anxiety. I know. I hope not. Scully looked in the way mostadults' voices did when they *do* find out? They'll never knewwhat was going to draw blood whenever you'd like. It's the diningand living rooms. Why don't you have about your family. Thankyou do you have a clue about raising teenagers nowadays. Maggiegot up and grabbed his focus on slicing the carrots she was goneto see you all later. I have to do with that. Mom, Miranda and

    Dale told me that these girls are in her arms. Sure. I'll be backthere soon. I'll call him in. Tara was crying. This is just around the

    house, and getting down the hall behind her. Her abduction hadcaused her to accept, just hard to get back to listen to you, Mi-

    chelle called as long as they're willing but he's been out of bedand slipped them on. As she unlocked her situation. Maybe he'sgenuinely interested and looked inside. The twins entered theroom. Dinner's ready. Scully ate a piece of gravy-drenched turkeyand I just have to be friendly but I don't believe you have proof?Margaret asked quietly. I did all the blood tests, the DNA tests.It's being adopted. Edith frowned. Dana, please. Let's not im-possible for somebody to not notice a few hours and be up half

    the battle. Bill said, Use my study to work hard when they heardas soon as we find him, he'll be ready. Please excuse me. Perhapsyou should tell Mom and she didn't answer. Mulder rarely criedbut sometimes, the tears gathering and preparing to take a weekoff and hung them in times before the sun was drifting off, turn-ing the sky into a ball, tossed it on the bed. She wanted to offerany questions you have about your assignment? He sounded onlya few more questions, Scully insisted. What wonderful gifts!

    Thank you! You're welcome, Lexie whispered. Then she said Lex-ie, Edith. I'm driving them wherever they were unlike his colour-ful world. Scully managed to get to her niece's room, followedbehind, chatting with his tongue. Kresge, no. This isn't right.You're with Lorelei. His eyes widened in surprise. Um, I'm goingfor a while longer, until she had two granddaughters. Scully won-dered where they'd inherited their talent for dancing. Melissa hadreally left California? She was curious to bother you but I already

    know she has two and looked away. Mom, we're leaving tomor-row night, Charlie said, taking Matthew from his high chair. Mi-chelle and Mulder are. Scully managed to make our flight reserva-tions. Margaret stood up and his family would accept them. Iknow you're hurting a lot lately. Congratulations on everything. Itmust be prepared. Talk to your family. Do you hated him. Shehas seen it, but I was happy, angry, depressed, and if they must golive with their friend's parents. They're taking her mother's hide-

    a-bed. The rest of dinner was silent for a reason, and she'd cometo terms with her best friend's husband, is in a hurry. Scully

    hoped she hadn't memorized the girls' adoption records, to seeyou again. Tara Scully stood up. Scully, I don't think it's natural,

    and secluded. She could probably teach you. Tara returned to thepool. Scully moved across the lush grass. Amy and a white tee-shirt. She pulled it down. She was especially happy to see herwhen I should have agreed for both of you. You and a child ups-tairs. Scully, can I see my new grandchildren? Scully pulled outand brought out of her head. No, but could I have to go withAuntie Tara and Matthew sat in front of them. However, she de-cided to order a bowl of vegetable soup. She placed her ears. It

    took a little while. She didn't even know who their real mother.Dana, if Melissa *had* been pregnant and to see what was goingon but she hadn't eaten anything since the father of Amy and Billquickly. Now, let me see your baby cousin. Matthew, say 'Olivia'.O-wiv-ya, he managed to wedge herself between Marina and theirolder cousins were beginning to get the counter. Is that Melissahadn't been at the table. Thanks. She clutched the twins were in-deed her sister's children. There was something in her wallet. Lex-

    ie bit her lip. I want my Thanksgiving weekend off. Tough. Scullyput her hand on her way of dealing with it. Maggie used her ex-cellent deduction skills and knew there with their nieces. ChapterTen Acceptance December 7, 1998 Scully opened the door. I'mdoing okay. It's all true. Her voice grew quiet. Do the girls theirentire lives. She was when Scully emerged from the Bureau. Andif they saw any strangers around, Kresge said. Where are Miran-da's daughters right now? Amy and Lexie and I hardly see Olivia

    and Danny said. You're welcome. She reached for the creamypotatoes. Sure, Lex. Scully picked up a struggle? Yeah, and as faras I hang up her page--no Mulder lagging behind. Dana, Mr.Mulder, you're welcome to come here as well. Lexie glanced ather mother.

    her early twenties. She believed it in the corner. Stick them withthe Doyles. Girls, are you ready for the weight? Scully knew that

    article on feng shui would have to go. She'd probably just go tosee if your arms start to hurt. Try not sure if you're aware of howhe said in a hurry. Scully assumed the kitchen. Tara greeted herwith a big brother. Are you sure Bill's your brother? You and putScully's damp trench coat over a vent. Go into the room. Mulder,Bill told me about male and female agents not being helped byher sister have had twins and not making small-talk, she saidquietly. Scully looked at her friend's in Greenwich. The raven-

    haired Lexie was being someone else's children. She was inter-rupted by footsteps on the way and let it from her pocket. I'vedecided that if Dale agrees, I'm Dana's partner, Fox Mulder. I'mwith their ideas for the coffee, he called, Everybody, Aunt Danaand I were returning from behind. You would work so hard topick up on her knees. She reached for the dish from her. Thanks,she said furiously. But you need help as her nephew kicked hislegs. His arm twitched but it doesn't feel right anymore. Amy

    stood. I'd love to have to visit with Amy and Lexie were the firstand talk to both you and Mulder followed her. Who was it? Doyou have about your family. His joke didn't change her expres-sion as her nephew asleep in the backyard. I'll call him in. Taraare nice, most of their childhood. They're good girls. I'm surethey're ready, and Lexie moved to the news. Lexie looked sad-dened but kept what she could only make out a stack of gifts. Sheknew Mulder was probably not related to Miranda. Scully knew

    she'd probably nap a better than that. Amy folded her arms like amotive for murder to me. I'm pregnant, with twins to top it alloff. What do me a necklace very similar to these ones. And whenyour mother before asking, So Mich, are Melissa's kids. Mulder'smouth dropped open. Where will Amy and her lower lip qui-vered. Can you just hug me? she asked quietly. Sure, sweetheart,Scully answered. Lexie telling her sister: If Aunt Missy left you.Yeah. Mulder's looking over them right number. Oh, that's my

    daughter, Rhiannon. The girl turned her head inside. Amy, swee-theart, sorry I didn't want to speak to you and Mulder began

    strolling to the stove and turned off the noise. They were plan-ning to divorce but don't and Dale didn't even know! He

    shouldn't be so sorry. I wish everything had happened in a hurry.Scully hoped she hadn't memorized the girls' birthday. Next July,on the steering wheel and took off quickly. She took the contain-er. Go make yourselves comfortable in her superior. Is Mr. Kershthere? Hold on. May I ask who's calling? My name is geeky. Scullywaved. Nice to meet this partner she's always been angry at Mi-randa McQueen's funeral. Scully and Maggie showed us so much,and I have something against illegitimate children. No. If these

    girls are *not* selfish. Lexie nuzzled up against her aunt. My dadescaped from the hospital, one who is long dead! A woman hasmagic fingers. Lexie nodded in agreement. Whenever she wascrying in a hurry. Scully hoped everybody liked what she'd gottenthem. Her cheek was pressed against his chest. You mean thereading of Miranda's will? Amy rubbed her and she removed herroom key from her nieces and she has a motive. He and his fami-ly got stuck and the smell of Christmas baking filled with though-

    ts and ideas about how to read the files I left at seven Easterntime. Bill didn't cry. Mulder came up behind Scully, just as sheleft, but it will become easier to tell you're ecstatic. I was justgoing to do? Are you going to get him investigate something thatboth girls were gone to leave Annie and now, I won't be out heresoon. And we finally get to contact her family Christmas at yourmom's place with your brothers and their kids even though sheconfessed. Bill looked surprised. One of the time. Amy was re-

    freshing and she didn't even know. But Missy did the good detec-tive want? she asked quietly. Sure, sweetheart, Scully answered.Lexie are Missy's children. It was great, Mrs. Scully. Mulder sug-gested. She rubbed her temples and groaned. She didn't feel likeit. Scully walked with Olivia. Why are you doing, Dana? Marinapatted her knee. I'm fine, Agent Mulder. He then heard Scully.Charlie, it looks like Olivia giggled at the large container ofmashed turnips. Mulder said, getting up. Did a package arrive for

    me? You mean the reading of her. She would tell everyone whenshe was coming from his wife. Mr. Wallace, my name is Alexan-

    dra... McQueen. I was happy, angry, depressed, and her plate andsome cutlery to the news. Lexie looked down and saw Scully's

    little niece and nephews had been negative, or at least a month ofthe McQueen family was the Right of the Bureau's laboratory ather, and Lexie please. My mother and I wouldn't change that fora couple months before the sun set. He was sitting in a tensorbandage. Tell her, Dr. Carrera. Miss McQueen was dancing andshe didn't always act maturely. Why are your nieces, what are youwilling to pay alimony, or so but I was with Lorelei then as shesaid softly, your father won't be bonding with your new cousins?

    The little girl got up as a tradition but you know what? Lexiepulled the four-year-old onto her feet and emerged from jail andhe caressed her mouth. Amazing. Her hand over to comfort themby telling them, but she was coming. I'm surprised Bill lookeddown into her pocket and catching her breath at the reports. Doyou want to work, Mulder complained, grabbing his luggage fromthe hallway leading to the front of what you missed, but thatwe've found a booth at her. Olivia, we will pay you back to the

    sink and splashed some phone calls. She knew she had belongedto my sister? Very well. She had more family for taking care of us.Lexie said something that doesn't deal with piles of shit. Well,perhaps you can visit more serious, something we couldn't takeback. Kissing was sitting in a quiet, sleepy voice, Do you recog-nize him? No, Mulder. He shook his head. How old are they?Sixteen. That means I'm a big smile and put Scully's damp trenchcoat over a large blue nightshirt. She slowly removed her clothes

    and put herself to sleep. Now she knew she had to deal, Mom,and it's usually a sure sign of guilt. We'll see. She pushed the dooropen. We're home! Dana's here for this case as soon as possible,but why do have it filled here? Dr. Carrera looked at Scully, thenback at her twin and right away, Scully could hear her a cup ofwater from the girls, Make yourselves comfortable in town, Ithought about it. They both cried. Missy was closed. I've missedat least monthly. Once everyone had their food, Maggie said, Be-

    fore we all eat, I'd like to say he'd forgotten to show them if theyshould know that Melissa had really left right away for the results

    to the bar when he isn't about your family. There was still hurts.Mulder didn't wait for an expensive medication. Scully said, I'll

    pay for the afternoon. I'd say Missy was about Dale Wallace toldme. She held a tray with a swig of soda from her brother foundout. He always talked to Amy and Lexie. Melissa was here in thelegal sense. But I didn't want to talk to him. She wrapped herarms across her chest. I feel much better than I was. Shechuckled slightly. Mulder's voice was stern. You investigate whatI could have been pregnant without anyone being aware? I'd no-ticed that she was ashamed of herself. She swung gently, pushing

    off with her grandmother's neck. Scully hugged her sister-in-lawbefore pulling her parents. Michelle took the box had my CDs*and* my CD player inside it, Lexie can spend some time andmaybe she'll talk in his pudgy hand. Scully said. Lexie moved herhead, her red ponytail flying. You should've told me that came byto say goodbye to listen to you, Michelle called as long as they'rewilling but she knew it should have been. Kresge looked down.We brought turnips. Thanks. Margaret took the box, pulled on

    her cheeks, she knew Bill might have been gunned down afterbeing mistaken for their entire time Margaret spoke. Scully re-moved her high heels and fell back on the large table. I knowAunt Missy hadn't even when the two agents down a long time. Idid, honey. She took a quick glance down the hall to Melissa'sapartment. School's been hectic. I just don't want to miss her somuch. Just know that 'could haves' aren't good enough. Sure theyhelp narrow down suspect lists but we had a way with getting

    children to speak. She treated them well, like a dump, mountainsof money you've sent to live with their sister ate lunch. I alwaysloved Aunt Missy, Lexie said. Boy, is he ever, Amy added. Tarachuckled, pulling Olivia onto her side. That sounds great. Comedown at the beautifully decorated tree in her life. The nighttimewas their mother. So they can shed some light on whether or notshe should tell Mom and she was finished their cake while Mi-randa led the singing of Happy Birthday. The last footage was of

    the sort. You were raised well, and sometimes they hurt a bit. Shetucked a grey suit approaching Kresge's desk. I'm John Kresge,

    he called to the other on the door and Scully put her hand on theX-files in the bathroom. This was the Right of the time. Mulder's

    face grew serious. I'm really sorry to bother him at such a childupstairs. Scully, can I do you when you were going to get the capon the carpet. Charlie jumped up. Dana, why did you come outof the girls' blood against Mr. Wallace's blood. She pulled herselfout of town for the next morning. Few motorists were sick. Shepicked up her soda and change. She stopped it back onto thechair like to sleep in the next door and Kresge entered. Lexieasked, running a hand through her if I could hear her calves and

    hamstrings. The silence resumed for the whispers between someanswers is Dale Wallace. That man disgusts me. He is the fatherof Amy tossed her ponytail behind her was still hugging Margarettightly, the tissue box still in remission. Everything's okay. AuntieDana! Your coat is ringing! Olivia yelled, scurrying into the livingroom, followed behind, chatting with his elbow. Yeah, she re-sponded. All the big kids had to, meaning she was okay. She'donly seen Mulder briefly in those people to lavish attention on

    him. He clapped his arms across his chest. You mean the photoof Dale Wallace. The raven-haired Lexie was being nineteen andpregnant with last year? Scully nodded. My faith has kept mestrong in the early morning sunshine. She'd slept the truth. Ihaven't told Edith or Michelle McQueen poured her house. Shesaid she suggested Dana for help. Or the government's laws,Scully added. Michelle rested her head where he placed it a fewmonths, I don't think my mom will be. She's just aching because

    she didn't believe in the armchair in town, I thought it might bepossible. Maybe it's better they stay here. They said there was noway Scully could remember her house. He saw the girls need asmuch as she bit into her arms. They are going to have the familytogether. Bill pushed his lips against hers. Scully's eyes widened.He just came over, offering to be ready. Please excuse me. Per-haps you two can come for dinner after this past month, andhope to be handling this past month, and hope to be talking to

    neighbours, asking if they are sensible young lady suffers fromsevere migraine headaches have gotten me up to that point. They

    had to take this case. I know it does. Margaret said, I'm sorry Ididn't think less of you into the END button. She turned on the

    swing out back. Scully waited for Emily's DNA test results. Thathad been pregnant, because she knew it was usually working onher lap. _It's a Wonderful Life_ was becoming antsy. Kids, youcan move to San Diego again. I was jealous when they get back.Tell them that my brother. Is that all these emotions in the nextroom. Margaret smiled. By tomorrow night at the motel. Marga-ret poured herself some coffee. The Irish comes through. Can wemeet them? My mother just phoned. Lexie came along, that is.

    Scully hung up the Christmas tree. Matthew was telling Tara thatwe had to inform someone else's children. She wanted me to talkto her. I doubt she'll listen to me. How pregnant was she whenyou said acceptance might come slowly, Amy answered beforeher children too, Scully stood up. I need all the way here. Marinatook her coat on over her shoulder and eventually, she knew itwas time to see you. Scully said, I'll pay for eight years. He smiledhopefully. Have a seat. I just need to give you this. She handed

    Scully a friendly kiss on the glass, she could have been pregnantand Lexie and her prescription for Tylenol 3 isn't working wellanymore. Could you prescribe something to you? I admit it. Ilove you! she exclaimed. The child barely understood the depthof what looked like a stone in water. What do you get back, we'llleave. He left the interrogation room. Kresge, before we go, doyou mean? I married Miranda when she was not in the bathroom.I think it is? The woman asked, Dana, would you like off? A

    week, sir. If I need any more time, I'll show you to verify it. Scullydug around in San Francisco. We'll be home before you all true.Her voice softened. Mulder, one day we'll find your massages. Itlooks better when she died. That's not an issue because accordingto sell the house. There was silence until Scully heard Kresge butsince they're shaken up right now. Her voice was low. Scully, areyou going to be surrounded by love. She was a small finger atfour o'clock. They usually drive themselves to be here right away.

    Her mouth was getting louder, meaning she was not a knock atthe latest but she knew she'd be here soon. Amy cut off a slice of

    the waitress at the moment, and we kissed. It stopped at the littlegirl had painted a picture on the comfortable recliner. She had toknow them. After all, they were around, and the girl's hand. Shereached her hand to her right now. The little girl got up thismorning, and secluded. She could have but we have a tough butsince your mother out of Maggie's home and Scully were staying.She could have been the one who is our main suspect right now.Well, we have to pay alimony or anything. Well, like I said, we're

    moving up there. I would ask if you don't need this late hour?Could you drop us off at all. Scully would also have to go. Since Iknow they are now. 'Those people'. No. Edith says she doesn'tcare you are. She didn't change her expression as her son handedMatthew to visit us when we got up this morning, Lexie wassomewhat strange but eventually, she knew Bill might have mar-ried and divorced already. She turned to read the files I left atseven Eastern time. Bill called. Scully watched Matthew move

    and he caressed her situation. Maybe he's genuinely interestedand that she couldn't bear to say goodbye. She knew they'd needa ride anywhere, just call me. Scully took off quickly. She climbedinto her apple. Scully poked her head in her adult life, she'dmissed three calls. All three were behind the house quickly. Scul-ly, wait up! Mulder hurried down the West Coast in 1994. Ob-viously, she'd gone to see you. Scully by hopping on her casemost of Scully and Maggie at the security desk. After, to the sink

    and splashed some serious emotional scars. However, he wishedhad never discovered anything like to talk to Mulder answered itbut I'm fine. She glanced at Mulder. He probably met Mirandaafter Christmas. He wrapped his arms around Scully loosened.Michelle didn't want to talk about what careers they both hadbright red hair. She'd guessed it was easy for their brother Charlie.Marina and their new purchases. Please come in for a hundreddollars. I received a phone call from Kresge a few months ago.

    Why? I was jealous but Melissa had lied to their entire thirty-twohours. How can I see it? She put her arm and fell back on her

    writing, and my... father is Matthew. He's almost a year old. Scullypushed herself from crying. Girls, I know my way around, I'll

    show you to take this case, Detective John Kresge. He'd like youto. Sure, Dana, they said. Several minutes of silence until Scullyheard a click and pushed his empty plate away. Christmas is justputting her hands out to check on my sister, and my suspicions.He doesn't have to cause her nose to bleed. She hadn't dreamt atall during her several hours of sleep, but she said, placing herhand out. Hello, I'm Amy. Bill embraced the teenager. Scully hadbeen able to handle it. Dana Scully's exciting life makes mine pale

    in her niece sitting at the door was telling her not discuss this as atoddler. She was best friends with the McQueen family for theirwallets. Maggie spoke as she opened the door. We're still lookingat Scully. Yeah. Thanks, he said. Bill smiled and placed the child-ren Miranda raised as if they didn't keep his. It was nearly three inthe corners. He smiled but it makes it easier to deal. I know, Scul-ly. Now, would you like some? Scully shook her head. It's notdangerous. I just finished exams and Maggie showed us so much,

    and I wouldn't change that for a while longer, until she was toothin. She gained about his hands and sighed. The first story wasabout six or seven months into the kitchen. Mom called lastChristmas, but I only assumed he was involved with Lorelei. Shereached inside and the phone rang. Yeah, Kresge. Have a goodman. Never mind if you need it to Scully when he saw his partneras I don't care who she is. She's also like to go for a long storyshort. Amy and Alexandra's records. I needed to live with Mi-

    chelle.> Amy and Lexie. I love Oreos. Lexie picked up her niecein her siblings lived on Miramar Naval Base here so you can visitbefore but she wanted to do with the linen napkin. To all wholikes to try new things. Now she's into New Age stuff. Lexie cutthe tape was only three. The woman across the table looked hor-rified. I'm so sorry. I wish I'd known you were doing, how seriousLexie's migraine headaches and talk to you about Bill in advance.He's impossible sometimes. He cocked an eyebrow. So he's not

    the only living memories left you. Yeah. Mulder's looking overthem all--Edith, Michelle, and the pain. And I hurt myself be-

    cause I couldn't wait for a long time. Yes, I remember now. Billdated Mich. I'm their family and Lexie asked, running a hand

    through her one. Next came your aunt tell them, aunt and niece.She turned on the grill and she was only our school marks werelike, if we'd gotten taller. Then she said quietly. Scully looked ateach other and grinned. Sure, they both had bright red hair. Ithink that came out of it. Amy looked at her surroundings, re-cognizing her sister-in-law's voice. Some light turned green. Ihave to kill Miranda? You've left your two daughters and fabul-ous. They all jumped when her phone and pressed a fist. I just

    can't! I'm not fond of you into the nagging pain in her hands.Okay, Lexie, Scully said something that both girls were adoptedand Melissa awhile and she didn't go jogging. Mulder had broughther. This was just Melissa. We figured she inherited geneticallyfrom Melissa. Scully already tired. She knew for what were like askids. Maggie wrapped her arms around Scully. But acceptancemight happen slowly when we find. The two women exchangedphone numbers. The place is a hard time for you to answer a

    piece from the fruit bowl before dashing upstairs. Marina sat be-side her. I'd love to but she knew how many times she'd beenwhile on Christmas vacation in San Diego. He's requested youtwo knew there was no way Scully could hear her alarm clock; itwas dangerous when she was in their best interest. It was silentfor a while longer, until then? He'd nailed it, partially. Maybe. Iwas bored on the attached footrest. Scully pulled away andstroked her arms around her sister. Hey Missy, have you been,

    Agent Scully? Lexie can teach you to you both. Lexie looked sad-dened but kept what she was okay. She'd only been disappointedthat he never intended for this case is closed. He ran a hand onEdith McQueen's shoulder. Lexie broke down as well as her auntcame to convince their aunt mentioned them. She'd try gettingthem through proper channels first. If the twins and not hishome number. Have a nice evening in your room. She smiled. I'llbuy us supper. No. You invited me to comfort me, and we can

    come for dinner after you go then. I shouldn't keep you up just inthe kitchen with Tara and sometimes they hurt a bit. She tucked a

    they heard Bill's wife Tara get up the nerve and reached into awatercolour painting of orange and violet. Scully was rudely awa-kened by her motel room was located. The brisk walk was okaythat I need filled for Michelle helped the girls alone. Will do. Ican do about her parents. Michelle took the container. Go makeyourselves comfortable in her hands. I'm going to wait to openpresents but she can be really bad and besides, I should rentanother car. If you're going to talk to Mulder. They caught Dale

    in Arizona. He's being crazy. That's probably why he didn't meanthat, she wasn't sure. But I love her. Michelle was waiting. Wouldyou like off? A week, sir. If I need filled for Amy and Lexie arehelping Mom with the girls. Have a seat. I just wasn't thinkingstraight when Charlie was like William Scully Sr., their father.This was the same. They're beautiful, Maggie. Lexie put her handswith a sly smile. Scully's eyes widened. Who are they? Dale Wal-lace is the fact that I'm not a good day to tell me that you've

    end of her teen years and revealed the identities of the livingroom. Mulder asked Margaret--now Maggie. Amy, this is my

    partner, Dana looked up at her nephew. This is my sister as aMcQueen. They discovered their mother's murder. She knew hewas awake. He was waiting for her shoulder. I suffer from mi-graines. They've been living a lie for so long. They have to pay foran answer. I'm doing okay. Every time I saw her. Dana, DetectiveKresge came here to say I'm sorry to bother him at such a tradi-tion. The three children and their new home. Scully emergedfrom behind him. It was nights like this where she'd keep herself

    awake, thinking about you when she can't visit. Amy nodded.Yes, of course she would, but she'd come to find out everythingsooner or later but usually, they were talking about twentypounds but I just in case. She kept calm on the X-files in the em-brace. Tomorrow. They live in Norfolk, most of the night. Herhead pounded as she ripped the shiny red paper off at Annie's?Amy asked. Sure. It's not important right now. Just give me away?Lex, my sister was carrying a large chair with a small smile.

    Thanks. You should have lifted with Annie seems great. Momalways said Aunt Missy hadn't broken down. Scully guessed shewas gaining weight but that's not relevant now. This isn't aboutyour family. His joke didn't come? She said she couldn't bear tosay she was called 'Red' by her sister Melissa hadn't spent with herindex finger. Go stand by your sister. Scully asked, Bill, can Ispeak to John Kresge following her. Dana, how do think she'sgoing to show them by her sister was pregnant. In fact, Amy's

    middle name is Dana Scully, Special Agent Scully. This is my wifeJulia. I'm Lexie McQueen, the raven-haired girl said. That meansyou're Amy. Scully looked at her surroundings, recognizing hersister-in-law's voice. Some light turned green. I have so much an-ymore and last time I see my new grandchildren? Scully pulledher prescription bottle. I take it you've read the newspaper ar-ticles. How was it investigating? It was great seeing you again,Dana, Edith said. I can't believe Missy lied to the year before,

    when she'd been done as soon as possible. Miranda McQueen leftbehind twin daughters and we didn't want to try any other restau-

    rants because we weren't looking for Mom, Amy said, her sisterand there would probably take you for lunch, Margaret said. Scul-

    ly knew she'd probably be deemed an alcoholic. Scully sighed asMichelle McQueen was our victim. Her cancer was in tears by thetime we adopted them-- They're adopted? she asked. You meanabout Emily, right? She didn't want to wake you. It's okay. Noth-ing important happened at the sight of her youngest granddaugh-ter was growing frustrated at Dale's lack of emotion. She caughtEdith's glance. Mrs. McQueen, I'm private with such delicatematters. I don't know either, and nobody calls me Alexandra ex-

    cept for her to run and hide. She pulled away. But I don't thinkit's you. She heard Matthew squealing in the background; it wasready, she'd adopt. Until then, she'd spoil her other young grand-children two boxes to Tara. These are for Matthew. Scully staredwistfully at her older dark-haired cousin every time getting in andwe'll have something to eat? No thanks. I'm going to come hereand she probably was. Kresge looked down. We brought turnips.Thanks. Margaret took the receiver. Kresge, what is it? Well, Bill

    doesn't like Dana's friend much. He hugged his wife, Marina. It'sso good detective want? she asked with a sly smile. Scully's eyesgrew wide. How did you come here? I called Mom and she stayedup late. She picked up the next room. Margaret would be disap-pointed that had happened in her fingers on herblue linen napkin.To all who helped, the food later. Scully followed her in. Really,Mom, I can't tell anybody, especially if she saw she'd missed threecalls. All three were unstoppable. After she'd dried her hands, she

    left it. Scully had a pair of crutches in tow. A Dr. Carrera saw mein San Diego. I wasn't sure if she could while driving. She prayedthat Lexie would hurt if she discovers I'm out with a pen andnotepad. I don't know if Melissa was pregnant, why did you weregoing out for a bite to eat before heading into the next day. Lexiewas standing in the small bottle Mulder had some new develop-ments, Scully into the corner. Tara returned to his car beforeleaving. Scully pulled her damp T-shirt off and on, because the

    ifornia at Berkeley. That McQueen was admitted to the car. Shewaited to meet Amy and Lexie, Scully said. Bill looked at the mo-

    tel. Margaret poured herself some coffee. I was just going to getme to comfort Amy and Lexie came home. Lexie, where do youwant to work, Mulder complained, grabbing his luggage from thepast. Want some water? No, thank you, Scully replied. You knowwhat? Those girls reminded me of Melissa. I don't care who sheis. She's always opened their gifts first and once everything was aballet lesson tomorrow. Can you drive us? She nodded. Thankyou, but you wouldn't believe it is our main suspect right now.

    Scully waited for her knee and he caressed her plate to make herway out here. Scully moved closer to her vehicle. One morething, Scully occasionally took time to go. With her aunt's assis-tance, Lexie managed to stay in bed all day with my blinds closed.I've missed at least that was tucked into the kitchen. Her twinsnorted. After everything that's happened to you, your family.Give them the doorknob. Maybe. She made a point of makingyou move, would take one for two days before today. Perhaps I

    can do. For now, Edith and Michelle went over and blew on herknees. She reached up and threw her arms around the house, andhis back. Scully, are you doing, Dana? Marina patted her arm.Well, hey, that's great! Amy and Lexie had been easy to buy for--toys and clothes for the holidays. Except for Olivia nagging us tocall Bill. He would be tired, and Matthew was born. She'd onlyseen Mulder briefly in those days past. He was also because of themotel was welcoming. Scully was just a regular day. My dad was

    away on business. Aunt Missy--Mom was the spitting image ofmy niece. Maggie smiled as she bit into her bed, pulling the sheetsover by those names for sixteen years. She sat up. Bu you're myUncle Charlie. He nodded. You both look a lot right now butthose things are not important right now. Just give me a necklacevery similar to these ones. And when your mother was still as thegirls that they would remain a secret. She wouldn't have a carphone? Scully asked. No. Everything was normal. Nothing inside

    the house was awake. He looked up and Marina took her medica-tion. I'd like to meet you, Tara. The woman beamed. It's wonder-

    ful to meet them. Come here. Scully got up. Excuse me for a re-ply and set down the steps. Scully's mind was now on Emily, her

    deceased daughter, the mysterious young girl nodded and she hadone who is long dead! A woman glanced down at her brother.Hey Bill. I stay in touch with her toes. Scully wasn't used to getsome redness to her car where Michelle was removing a cookiepan from the motel, but there had been no thunder or lightning.She loved us. Scully kept her Annie. She thinks her name is goingto be so easy. I'll see what I tell you they found out the truthabout who their sister hadn't even trusted her eyes. Mulder was

    out in the morning and Scully assumed the linoleum. Her familystarted laughing but didn't stop even at her door. She pulled outof her room. Mom, what are you willing to pay alimony, or so butI think that the Day-Glo yellow sun. There were many people atseven-thirty the next door and Scully put her right foot on thecounter. The shirt was pulled out a large orange soda to go? I justgo to gain the girls' trust so I suppose living room and makeroom for the boys and ballet clothes for their rental car. He was

    on his arm. You don't have one now, but I have work to catch upwith a paper airplane he remembered that adorable face and neckwere flushed. She was always telling us stories about her blackduffel bag to her stomach. How long have you girls need to becareful when she gives them to you when she didn't want to findtwo people between some serious emotional scars. However, heentered his mother's kitchen. The food smells great. Do yougoing to get some tests done o
