In The Blink Of An Eye
"The truth we both know." Mulder said as he shifted his gaze from William to me.
"Which is what?" I asked as he began to move his face closer to mine. I tried to come up with something to say, but all I could think of was how right it felt.
As his lips brushed against mine I lost all ability to think. My mind flooded with all the looks, the touches, the gestures that had occurred between us over the years, and how none of them compared to the kiss I was now experiencing.
I felt his tongue gently probing at my lips to open, and I happily obliged his request. His tongue hungrily explored my mouth as mine did the same to his. He tasted of coffee, sunflower seeds, and something else I could only describe as Mulder. I wanted this moment to last forever. I finally had the two things I wanted more then anything, but never thought I could have. Motherhood and Mulder. Things were just too good to be true!
"Whaaaaaa!" William cried as Mulder and I parted and looked down at our son to see what was troubling him. His little hands reached out for me as he let out another gut wrenching wail. Mulder handed me the baby and I tried to calm him down but it wasn't working. I looked up at Mulder in confusion. Then I felt a tugging at my breast.
"Oh. Looks like someone's hungry." I said as I began to walk towards the nursery. "I'll be right back, wait here. Unless you want to come along?" I asked as I turned to see his reaction. Judging by the look on his face, he was clearly hesitant. "Mulder, breast feeding is very natural, and it isn't anything you haven't already seen before. I said, smiling slightly.
"Yeah but, this is different. It's ok, I'll wait here. I have some things I need to think about." I didn't like the sound of that. I nodded my head as if I were answering a question, then headed into the nursery to feed our son.
When I was done feeding William, I placed him in his crib and he was out like a light. I quickly gathered my thoughts and prepared to confront Mulder. The conversation we were about to have was one we'd been putting off for eight years now.
When I entered the bedroom, Mulder was seated on the edge of the bed staring at William's pacifier, obviously deep in thought.
"He truly is a miracle, isn't he Scully?" His words startled me. I didn't realize he was aware that I had re-entered the room.
"Yes he is, Mulder. He's our miracle." I corrected as I sat down beside him on the bed.
"You don't know that for sure, Scully."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know for sure that I'm his biological father." Mulder's words brought tears to my eyes.
"Mulder, I know in my heart that you're William's father, and even if you're not, even if he's not your biological son, you're his father in every way that matters."
"Yeah, but Scully...."
"No buts Mulder! You even said yourself that the reason the aliens didn't take him from us was because he wasn't what they thought he was, and if he's not.......If he's not the result of some government conspiracy, then there's only one other explanation."
"I hope you're right, Scully."
"I'm always right, Mulder. You should know that by now." I said with a little smirk.
"You have no idea how much I want to be the father of your baby." He gently took my hand and placed it in his. "I want to be the man that makes you happy."
"You are that man, Mulder. And..."
"Wait, Scully let me finish. It took me eight years to work up the nerve to tell you this, and if I don't do it now I don't know what I'll do." My heart was beating a mile a minute. He had told me he loved me before, but I didn't take him seriously. But this time I would take him seriously because there was no use denying how we felt about each other. I couldn't believe this was actually going to happen. My life was finally going to be complete!
"Scully, I......I.....AHHH!" Mulder screamed in pain as he fell to the floor, clutching his head.
"MULDER! Mulder, what's wrong?" I ran to the phone and frantically dialed 911. I literally screamed at the operator to get an ambulance here as soon as possible. I hung up the phone and ran to Mulder's side. He was unconscious. I felt for a pulse, and at first I thought there wasn't one, but then I found it. It was weak, but it was there.
"Mulder! Mulder, can you hear me?" I didn't get a reply. " Mulder, I'll be right back. Please hang on!" I ran to the phone and dialed my mother's number.
"Mom, something's wrong with Mulder and I'm taking the baby to the hospital, but I need you to come pick him up as soon as you can!"
"Sure, Dana, But....." I had to hang up because the paramedics were at the door. I showed them where Mulder was still lying unconscious. Then I went and got William.
The baby started to cry as we entered the hospital. I tried desperately to get him to stop. The other patrons in the waiting room were becoming annoyed. Even though he was only a few days old, he could tell that something was wrong.
"Shhhhh, William. Daddy's going to be fine." I hoped to god I was right.
