She had black shadows under her eyes and she looked like someone who had a close encounter with death. He sat down next to her and she smiled at him tiredly. "You need to rest before we go, Scully. There's no hurry." "I need to fight Mulder but just now, I can't. I can't" Her eyes filled with tears and she wasn't able to keep them at bay. He wiped the fat salty drop from her face and held her cheeks between his hands. "We will fight, Scully. Together. I won't let you down. I'll be there when you are happy. I'll be there when you are sad." "I'll kick your ass if you smother me!" "Of course! I'll be worried if you won't!" She scouted over so he could lie with her. He took off his shoes and his leather jacket and reclined in the hospital bed with her. She leaned on his chest. He encircled his arms around her and held her tight. She made a contented sound and she fell asleep there, ensconced in his warmth. It was a peaceful break for them but soon, they will need to fight the reality of her illness. Her days were counted and he didn't know what to do to save her. But he'll do anything to save her, even if it meant letting the X-Files go. He owed her that much. He owed his life and his sanity. She couldn't die. He wouldn't accept the fatality. He couldn't let her go before her time. He would need to search a cure and save her. He wasn't ready to be alone again. He wasn't ready to let go of the one person who ever trusted and loved him.
