"How do you know me?" Mulder asked as he looked at the woman.

She smiled at him, and then drink her tea. "I don't know you, I know of you." A small laugh escaped her lips. "We finally meet after all of these years. I'm guessing you have found out all about the affair that I had with your father. We didn't mean to hurt you, but some things are just inevitable. Just like finding out the truth…it can't hide as long as it would like to, but it does for a while."

"Why did you…do what you did?" Scully asked uneasily.

"What is your name if I may ask?" Donna said as she looked at Scully.

"Dana Scully." She wouldn't look the woman in the eyes because she knew. She knew what Scully tried to forget. It wasn't because she knew, but because all women who had affairs knew if they were in the presence of their own kind.

"Well, Miss Scully, I will tell you and Fox Mulder everything I know if you tell me of the short-lived affair that you had." Scully visibly paled. She never thought of her affair with Daniel, until now. She really had forgotten about the whole thing. It wouldn't have bothered her as much, but Mulder's current situation says a lot.

Mulder turned and looked at Scully, but said nothing. He face was expressionless and so were his eyes. If that didn't say big trouble than Scully didn't know what did.

"Umm, I was at med school at the time and sort of…reckless to sum it up, well at relationships at least. I was tired of being screwed over by guys and decided to take control, you know. Every guy I knew or met just seemed so childish and I knew, I just knew that I could some much better than them. But, I could never find them, so I had a series of one night stands." Scully got quiet for a moment, and then spoke again. "It was very unfulfilling and I felt empty, so I stopped. One day, I overheard this girl in one of my classes talking about a professor of mine named Daniel Waterston. He was a real ladies man and could spit some lines that were real panty peelers. I was fed up with men like that, but his game was different and straight-forward. He told you what he wanted and he knew that he would get it. Daniel knew what woman to look for and he was right each and every time. But, he thought that he had me all figured out and I proved him wrong. I pursued him and he didn't know how to handle me at first, but later caught on. After being together for a while, I fell for him. Then his wife found out about us and threatened to leave. Daniel didn't care and told her to leave, so she did, but altogether. She committed suicide and that was when I decided that it was time to leave him." Scully wouldn't look at Mulder as she told her story and she didn't look at him afterwards.

"I met Bill while I was in college. He was a waiter at a diner and we would always bump into one another. We instantly fell in love, but never spoke a word to each other, until my date set me up. Bill was kind enough to take me home and ask nothing more. After that, we hung out together a lot and I became his girl somehow." She smiled at the thought. "Things were going perfect, until I met his parents. They said that I wasn't good enough for Bill because of my financial status. Then one day, I overheard them talking about this girl…

DONNA'S STORY….

"Keith, you have no idea how humiliating it was when I told the family about William's girlfriend." Mrs. Mulder complained as she drank a glass of champagne.

"I have no idea. Stephanie, when I told my work partners about Donna or whatever her name is, they laughed and said how can they hire someone with such pathetic taste in women. Do you know how long I've been trying to get Bill a job with them?" Keith poured himself a glass of Scotch. "I've trained Bill in business since he was a child and he knows that the string he is just being difficult as always. He could've helped the firm out in high school by doing small things around the office and had an intern job after he graduated. I do not know what is wrong with that child."

"And now William decides to settle for less, he is really giving this family a bad name." Stephanie shook his head.

"The girl that he supposedly fell for is nothing, but poor trash. There are plenty good-looking women out there who were born into well off families." Keith began to ponder on why his son was stirring up so much trouble. "I know what it is, Bill is just trying to piss us off. What better way to make us mad than to do all of this shit that he is doing?"

Donna was listening in the kitchen, and then came out and looked at them. "Bill does love me!" Donna shouted.

Keith and Stephanie Mulder didn't even flinch.

"He even has her believing it." Stephanie said as she lit a cigarette and began to smoke it.

"Sit down, Ms. Sutherland." Keith instructed and Donna did as told.

"William and you will break up. He will marry Teena Kuipers and get a well- paying job. You will no longer have any contact with our son of any kind."

"You can't just do that!" Donna yelled.

"I can and I will. I don't see why Bill chose to be with you."

"To upset us and it worked very well."

"Oh yeah, and you're just a piece of candy." Stephanie said with disgust as she looked at Donna. "We couldn't fix you to fit you into out lifestyle because you are rude and lack so much."

"I would never want to be like you." Donna spit out.

"Do you think our kind would accept you?" Keith asked, and then laughed. "You misunderstood what Stephanie said completely, Ms. Sutherland. You are nothing, but eye candy, a mistress, a woman that a man only looks for a good time in. We could fix you up visibly, but you'll never be one of us even if you wanted to. People will only see you for what you are, poor trash and someone who sexually satisfy another."

"Are you saying that people will only accept me as Bill's mistress, but never as his wife?" Donna asked as she looked between the two Mulder's.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying." Keith said as he smiled at Donna.

"That doesn't make any sense." Donna declared.

"It makes perfect sense. William needs to have someone who represents him and every aspect and you don't. You see, every man needs a woman on the side and you are it." Stephanie said as she grinned at Donna.

PRESENT

"I was shocked to hear what I heard that day, but I listened and believed them." Donna looked at Mulder. "This whole thing is way beyond you, Fox"

Mulder didn't say anything; he just got up and began to walk away. Scully knew she couldn't just let him leave. They needed to find out more information from Donna and resolve the current situation between them. If she let him leave she didn't know what would happen. Scully got up and began to follow Mulder out of the house.

"Scully, leave me alone." Mulder said as he walked to the car.

"Mulder, we need to talk." Scully said as she walked over to the driver's side out the car and put her hand on the door. "Not just about us, but also about that information that was just given to us."

"How could you, Scully?" Mulder rubbed his face. "It's like I don't know you—you are like a stranger to me."

"What? Is it because I didn't tell you of my past? That's complete bullshit, Mulder. Everyone has done things that they aren't proud of, but that doesn't mean that you don't know the person—or me. I'm not proud of what I did and I tried to forget, but she knew…somehow she knew." Scully tried to explain.

"Would you have told me if she didn't know?" Mulder stood with his hands on his hips while looking at Scully straight in her eyes.

"Honestly, I've never thought about it. Being in the FBI was about starting over and forgetting about that life. I guess maybe not because we really never did talk much, but then again, yes. We are in a relationship and things like that are bound to come up, aren't they?"

Mulder was about to answer her when he heard a car pull up behind them.

"Who are you?" The person asked as she got out of the car.

"Fox?" Mulder looked to the passenger side and saw the last person he expect to see or would have ever thought he would see.

"Dad?" Mulder saw Bill begin to approach him. Oh, this was definitely his father. " This shit just keeps getting better."
