Belle sits in the tub of her hotel room, grasping the hand of Art who is sitting outside the tub but next to her. 'I don't remember anything' she says to him.

Standing just behind them at the door, Bruiser watches them hold hands. Chewing the inside of his lip, the only subtle way to express his frustration.

'No one does.' Art tells her. 'I thought this whole time, well we all did, that we couldn't have kids.' he continues. 'I couldn't be happier. Your pregnant, and with my child.'

Belle looks down when he says that, trying not to make eye contact with Bruiser.

Kennedy comes up behind Bruiser and taps him on the shoulder. 'Come on.' he says. 'Let's let them have some time alone.'

Bruiser nods in agreement and they exit the room. Bruiser hurries out to the hall, Kennedy tries to keep up.

'We need to talk.' Kennedy tells him. Bruiser stops. Kennedy looks over at the end of the hall to Ash and Nina, 'Which one of these rooms is empty.' he yells to them.

'To door down, on your left.' Nina says.

Kennedy opens the door and they both enter, closing the door behind them.

'You do know that pretty much everyone here knows about you and her, don't you? I mean everyone except Art obviously.' Kennedy tells Bruiser.

Bruiser looks at him. 'We didn't exactly try to hide it too well. Except for when he came back.' he says.

'I know how you must be feeling right now. Angry, maybe excited that she's pregnant. But the best thing right now for everyone is if you wait untill we figure out what's going on around here before you confront him with the truth.' says Kennedy.

Bruiser doesn't reply, but nods in agreement.

'This is me asking you as a friend Bruiser. Promise me you'll wait.'

Bruiser nods again, 'Yeah, okay. I promise. But the moment this all over, I'm not holding back.'

'I know.' Kennedy says.

Mulder is beating down a window in the lobby with a fire extinguisher. Joan looks on.

'It's no use.' she tells him. 'We're locked in this place untill they want us out.'.

Mulder continues with the window, 'I need to find her.' he says.

'Scully?' she ask.

'Yes.'

'I talked to her a bit. She told me you guys we're friends for years before you were together right?'

Mulder doesn't answer, just continues.

'Can I ask you a question?' she asks him. He doesn't reply. She continues anyway, 'Weren't you afraid? I mean it's the classic cliche right? You want guys love eachother, or have feelings at least, but your too afraid to act on them. Afraid it will be mean the end of your friendship if it all goes wrong. That you'll lose them completely, Regret taking action, when everything is just fine. Again, we're you afraid?'.

Mulder stops, realizing she's right about the window, then finally answers her, 'Terrified.' he says. 'But I'll describe it in a way she once did..."The best relationships, the ones that last seem to be the ones that are rooted in friendship. One day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend...is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with" '

Joan smiles.

'You sound more than curious. Like maybe your in a similar situation.' says Mulder.

'Something like that.' she says.

Ash and Nina have moved to her room. Both laying on the bed, her feet facing up, and his feet facing down.

'Nina.' he says.

'Yeah?' she answers.

'Let's say a guy meets a girl. They like eachother and they hit it off.'

'Okay.'

'They sleep together. Later the man finds out she has a boyfriend. She's a cheater right?' he ask.

'Yeah.' Nina answers.

'But what about the man? Is he a cheater too?'

'You said he didn't know she had a boyfriend. So, no. At least I don't think so.'

'Let's say this same man, after he finds out she was a boyfriend, he's so infatuated with her, he continues the affair.' ask Ash. 'Is he a cheater now?'

'Does he have a girlfriend?' she ask?

'No.'

'That's tough.' she says. 'Does he know the boyfriend at all?'

'Nope.' he answers. 'Is this single man a cheater simply because he's sleeping with a girl who is not? Or is she just the cheater?'

'I would say yes. This makes him a cheater, after he continues the relationship.' she says.

'I disagree. As a single man, he isn't betraying a loved a significant other. She's the cheater, not him.' he says.

'Well, put your self in her boyfriends shoes, wouldn't you consider them both cheaters?' she asks.

'I guess I would' Ash answers.

'More importantly, put your self in this mans shoes. Would you feel guilty? Would you feel like a cheater?' Nina asks him?

Ash struggles for an answer, 'I don't know.' he says.
