Still stuck trying to figure out what Mulder's relationship to the two kids would be. Half siblings through CSM (just like Samantha is to him), and then, ummm... 1/2 uncle to them via Samantha/Stephanie? So, some bruncle? Oh yes, very very Greek. And you are right about the final chapter for a number of reasons. I pretty much blanked it out since it was dissatisfying, particularly after such a gripping read the rest of the way through. HOWEVER, that said the rest of the story made up for that final chapter IMO, so worth the read!
