Summary: I just really hate my muse Antigone

Pairing: MSRish

He stood, surrounded by her family, friends, fellow agents, and Skinner in the small room. Even the Gunmen were there. Outside it was storming.

There's no one in town that I know

You gave us someplace to go

I never said thank you for that

I thought I might get one more chance

The weather outside reflected how he felt on the inside but couldn't let out because of everyone that was around.

What would you think of me now

So luck so strong so proud

I never said thank you for that

And now I'll never have a chance

He thought of being on a beach, being in the city, being in the basement office. He tried to think about anything except what was going on at the moment.

May angels lead you in

Here you meet my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

Because if he thought about what was happening then he'd eventually have to accept that she was gone and he didn't want to do that.

Now what would you think of me now

So lucky so strong so proud

I never said thank you for that

And now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in

Here you meet my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

She was his life, his other half, his touchstone, the rational part of him. But she's gone now. He didn't protect her. He didn't have her back. She was shot because he got distracted.

If you were with me tonight

Sing to you just one more time

Song for a heart so big

God couldn't let it live

They had just talked about being more than friends, about screwing the rules and starting a relationship. But that couldn't happen now. If he could go back he would have jumped in front of her, pushed her down, shot before the other person did. Anything to keep her from being hurt.

May angels lead you in

Here you meet my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

He softly kissed her cheek, straightened the cross necklace and whispered, "I love you," before going to the woman who was not only Scully's mother but like a mother to him as well.

May angels lead you in

Here you meet my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

The End

Damn, even writing it made me cry.
