This is my first ever X-files fanfic. I wrote it a couple of years ago right after the episode
Emily. Please read and review.

Vision

Last night something wonderful happened to me. I had a late night visitor that set my
troubled mind at ease.

She stood in the doorway looking so beautiful, dressed in a flowing white dress and
wearing a wreath of white roses in her head.

Emily. My beautiful daughter.

"Mommy," she said.

My eyes filled with tears at those words. She had never called me mommy before. She
did not know who I was. How did she know?

"I just knew," Emily said answering my unspoken question a smile playing at her
mouth.

My lips trembled. "Are you all right?" I asked my daughter.

"I'm fine. I don't hurt anymore."

"That's good," I answered and the tears dripped down my cheeks.

"You must not hurt anymore either Mommy. I am happier now," Emily said. She
sounded wise.

My heart was full of love as I beheld my beautiful daughter. The vision walked over
to my bed. I stared up at her my eyes not even bothered by the light that surrounded
her. She crawled into bed with me and put her arms around me.

"Now you must sleep and be strong," she said in that soft voice of hers.

I fell asleep in my daughter's arms and I was happy. I woke this morning still feeling
happy. Emily had come to me and to deliver her last message. I touched the cross at
my throat and knew that she would always be with me just as I would always be with
her.

I leaned over to the bedside table, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.


"Mulder," he answered.

I smiled and said, "Hi. It's me. Something wonderful happened to me last night."
