Middle of Nowhere, USA. Moronica's behind the wheel of the product-placed Sensible Car Complete With Sunroof (the license plate, by the way, reads 42 BIEK, not LZ BIEN as reported on the forums). Scully sleeps with her head against the window. After a moment, she opens her eyes and looks groggily first out the window and then at Moronica. "I was hoping this was all a dream," she says. Moronica just looks at her. "When did the sun come up?" Scully asks. About six hours ago. In North Carolina. ["Um, Scully's hugely pregnant. She would have awakened with the need to pee at least once in six hours, if not twice or more." -- Wing Chun] Moronica tells Scully -- and us -- that they're somewhere in Georgia. "Long way from home, Agent Scully," Moronica says. Scully leans back against the headrest. "Under the circumstances," she comments wearily. Moronica nods. "Right," she says, and inwardly berates herself for telling someone who'd been abducted by aliens (twice!) that Georgia was far from anywhere. "We can't be too safe," Moronica continues, nodding solemnly and pursing her lips. Scully examines her face. "Are you all right, Agent Reyes?" she asks. Moronica indicates that she's fine; the person who should be answering that question is Scully, after all. Scully sort of peers at Moronica before figuring out that Moronica is nervous about delivering the NotAlienMiracleBaby. "I've never delivered a baby before," Moronica admits nervously, looking at Scully as though she's afraid Scully's going to smack her or something. Scully wearily smiles and reminds Moronica that she's never had a baby, so, that "makes two of [them]." Moronica smiles wanly. The two agents purse their respective lips and look out the window at the barren landscape. Whoops, there's that word again.
