Spoilers: It's a WIP, so I really don't know what will

Thank you.
Summery: You didn't think it was going to end there,
did you?..With a happy ending.Evie, my muse,
and I are all laughing.
Dedication: To Evie for her always perfect beta job
and from the get go listening to my endless questions
and whining. Melissa for her more then excited
response when I told her of this fic, her
encouragement and beta. And to all the original
`Nova' readers, I became addicted to your feedback
and just had to get some more of it. I hope this WIP
can live up the standards `Nova' set for me.
Part 1
Prologue
Five years after the completion of `Nova'.
Present day
From the moment Mulder came to me after the first
attack, to take me from my ruined apartment and
bring me to Nova with the hope of a chance to
prosper my life has been out of control. From that
instant on They have had the upper hand. Not all
things in this life have been bad, not when I stop and
think of the whole picture. For a short while I hid
behind that idea, let it flood my thoughts. I thought
maybe, just maybe everything Mulder and I have
accomplished overrode what They have managed to
do to this world. But it just wasn't true. I finally
accepted that my life, and the life of my family,
would forever be ruled by Them if I let it.
I left everything I knew of a life because I had no
choice, because They destroyed it. But I wouldn't let
Them destroy me, Mulder wouldn't let Them.
Following Mulder was second nature to me, I never
questioned that he would take care of me. And he
has, the best he can. He has always taken it upon
himself to look after me, even when I don't want him
to. Being the man he is he accepted the request to run
Nova. I encouraged him to, it seemed right at the
time. Nova needed someone strong minded and sane.
But it has reeked havoc on me since then. I'm the one
that has to keep Mulder sane, holding him when he is
weak and dealing with his pigheadedness. It's not an
easy job, but it's one that I gladly comply to. I owe
him that and much much more. He gave me a second
chance at life, he gave me a beautiful family, and he
loves me unconditionally. And he doesn't ask much
of me. I ask-no I expect so much from him. He gives
and gives and it's never enough for me. How much
can I ask before he can't give anymore?
As hard as I imagine I can't see that happening. After
everything we have been through, even before They
came, Mulder and I are just too important to each
other. I didn't think it was possible for us to become
closer, but everything we have been through,
everything we have seen has done just that. I can't
live without him, I know that. Looking at him now,
sleeping soundly in bed next to me I can't believe
how lucky I am that this man cares for me how he
does. He's everything to me, he's my life.
But I just can't deal with how I am existing in this
life anymore. It has taken so much out of me, so
much out of us. And now, we don't have much to
show for it.
Maybe it was the deaths that got to me. So many. In
so many different ways. Natural and not. Most unfair
and untimely. It's amazing I've made it this long.
I can still remember, like yesterday the first time
Mulder and I set foot in the place. Tired and hungry.
So ready to trust, it is was unlike us. But we aren't
the same people as we were before we came to Nova.
Only slight changes to the on looker, but I know
Mulder as well as I know myself, I see all the little
things.
And the not so little things. A part of Mulder dies
every time something horrible happens at Nova.
When a part of his dies, a part of me dies.
I don't know how much more I can take. How much
more hell I can watch go by. It's a ticking bomb
before something else happens. Who knows if we
will be as lucky, if that's what you can call it, as we
have been so far. So many people have lost so much.
It's so hard to watch people suffer. Knowing its
going to happen again is the worst. Knowing that we
could very well be next is dreadful to realize. We all
know it's just a matter of time. I don't want to be
here when time runs out.
Notes: I'm back! I thought my muse was dead, turns
out she just really likes Nova and nothing else. So,
let's make my muse happy, ok?
Anyway, this prologue is just my way of getting East
of Eden out there. By the way, thank you Evie for the
title.
So once again, I have a mailing list out for this. If
you want to join just let me know. Parts will NOT be
coming out as fast as they did with Nova, I just can't
do it. But I hope to have part 2 out very soon. For
those of you who are worried, the parts will be longer
then this. Again, this is just to get my foot in the door
so to speak.
Hey, remember that thing called feedback that I love
so much? *hint hint* =)
