Disclaimer: Sorry I forgot to put this in the first chapter, but I don't own Mulder, Scully, William...etc. I just like to mess around with them ;). REVIEWS PLEASE!! New chapter will be up tomorrow evening.
William can tell that something is going on. He keeps fidgeting and clapping. I think maybe the grin on his face is because he knows where we're going, and not because he's got gas. Well that would be a first.
I am so happy that we are going to be with Mulder again, but it is going to be hard to leave everyone we love behind. John and Monica are playing with Will while I pack, acting like Will and I aren't leaving in a couple of hours not to return until who knows when...maybe never.
The gunmen have already switched the accounts over, and wiped our names out of the Government Database. It's weird thinking that to the rest of the world, Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, and William Mulder no longer exist.
I'm packing the necessities into my small overnight bag: some of Will's clothes and toys, his diapers and formula, and his little basketball that says 'daddy's boy'.
I'm not taking much of my own stuff. Mulder contacted Skinner and told him for me to pack only a few things, that we would buy me all new clothes and things once we arrived.
So all I pack for myself is the nightgown Mulder bought me about a week after William was born, a couple of clean bra's and panties, and Mulder's knicks t-shirt and sweat pants that he left here.
I sleep in them often, so I feel I can feel close to him. The only other thing I put in the bag is my photo album.
In the front are my family photos, and after those, the various pictures of Mulder and I off duty over the past nine years, and finally, the pictures of Mulder, William, and I.
I take a moment to look at these, remembering every one like it was yesterday. We had such a brief time as a family. Yes, I think it's time for us to be a family again, even if it means leaving everyone else behind. Mulder, and our son are the most important things in my life.
So with my new resolve, I walk out of my bedroom for the last time, taking a moment to glance at everything, remembering all of the places where Mulder comforted me, where we made love, where William would lay between us and gurgle. A new life. That's what I have waiting for me.
