My hands shake as I ready the injection; I can't stop 
thinking about Monica.  The gate came out of nowhere, 
crashing down before her, separating us.  I was 
horrified - John was frantic - she only smiled in 
that serene, knowing way and said she'd see us later.

I need that confidence now.  What if it doesn't work?  
What if I screwed up a decimal point?  What if they 
know we're here?  What if Monica dies?

I'm shaking too much.  "Mulder," I croak, and he's 
there behind me, steadying me, closing my hands on 
the syringe.  

"Hey," he whispers, holding me tight.  "It'll work.  
Everything will be okay.  It has to be."

I opposed it, but right now I'm so glad he let Will 
take his place with John on guard duty.

I take a deep breath, leaning into him, calming down.

I close my eyes, and squeeze the plunger.

It's done.
