Recovery.

++ 19th June, 2005. Mercy Hospital, Washington DC. ++

Dana awoke in her hospital bed. As she ate her breakfast she recalled the events after she had been found by Mulder.... When she had arrived the doctors had been more than a little amazed. She had been wheeled in lying on her side on a gurney, with her two massive breasts resting on another one! Fox had arrived soon after her and even he was amazed.

"Scully, are you alright?" he asked, unable to tear his gaze from her inflated chest.

"I'm fine Mulder." she replied.

"How....?" were the only words Fox could utter.

"I'll tell you later... For now lets just say I had a 'close encounter'!"

After Fox had left the Hospitals plastic surgeon had arrived. He too blinked a few times, making sure his eyes registered what he thought. "What? Uh, I mean how?" he said to the attending doctor.

"We're putting it down to 'Hormonal Imbalance', though I dont see how this young woman managed to conceal it, or rather them, for so long."

"Well, you're right about that." he agreed, "These things wouldnt have grown over night!". At that both men gave a slight chuckle.

'Don't be too sure!' thought Dana to herself.

The procedure had been a long one, but without complication. When she had awoken from the anaesthetic the plastic surgeon had come to see her. "Miss Scully, you'll be pleased to know the operation went A-OK. We managed to do a 85% reduction to your breasts."

"O..oh, that's...good." replied Dana, still a little out of it.

"Ah." said the doctor, "You don't seem to realise what that means..."

"There was a problem?" she asked.

"No, not a problem as such." explained the doctor, "Its just that...there was so much... flesh that in order to maintain your breasts functions there was a limit to the reduction."

"Wh..what kind of limit?"

"Well...once the swelling goes down your new breast size will be GG!"

About two weeks later Dana sat, awaiting the removal of her bandages. "Ahh, hows my most unusual patient?" asked the Doctor as he walked into her room.

"Fine thankyou." smiled Dana, "It's today?"

"Yes. Yes it is! I'll just check your chart...de de doo...yes, you seem well recovered. Okay Dana. Lets get those bandages off. Just remember there might be some residual bruising for a while." Ten minutes of careful unwrapping later Dana looked down at her new bust. There was still a little bruising but the surgeon had done wonders. Somehow he had prevented 99% of the scarring and had also preserved the function of her breasts. True they were still very big, but at least she wasn't pinned to the ground by them!

"Not too bad!" said the Doctor, "Our surgeon does wonders, doesn't he?!"

"Yes, he certainly does." replied Dana, still gazing in awe at her chest.

"Just remember Dana that you cannot have them further reduced, not without compromising their function." Finally it was time for Dana to go home. Fox had brought her in a change of clothes from her wardrobe and she had changed quickly, apart from struggling to stretch the t-shirt over her still enormous breasts. As she had walked out to Fox's waiting car she had drawn stares from a few men, and a disapproving tut from a passing woman.

"Skinner says you're to take the rest of the month off to finish recuperating." said Fox as she got in, "It's good to have you back!".
