I watch his tiny little facial expressions as they change, he's dreaming, good dreams I hope. Scully puts her arm around me and I put mine around her and right then, right there, is the perfect moment. The one that I thought Fox Mulder would never have.
"Sweet dreams little William."
We whisper it in unison as we walk away from the crib and quietly slip out the door. Scully turns to me and smiles her sweet little smile that always wins me over.
"You are...amazing"
"So is that little boy in there."
"He looks so much like you."
"Too bad he got your nose."
She playfully punched me in the arm and then ran off towards our bedroom. I ran after her and closed the door quietly behind me leaving us in complete darkness.
"Woo darkness.... so..."
"Sexy?"
"I was going for mysterious... but sexy works too."
I heard her playful laugh from the far left and felt over in the dark laughing myself.
"Hey where are you?"
"Me... where are you?"
After a few minutes of searching in the dark I ran into Scully who was also walking around blindly arms stretched wide. After we found each other and I found myself in a big hug I found it as the perfect moment to steal a kiss.
"I like the dark."
"Me too."
After we found the bed we laid down and continued with the laughter and kissing.
"Dark is fun."
Then a bang and a crash shattered through all our happiness.
"Was that in Will's room?!?!"
I could tell Scully was just as scared as I was. I grabbed her hand and ran towards where I thought the door was and after tripping over a chair and screaming a few choice words we found it. I ripped the door open as Scully ran past me and flew into Will's room. I flew up next to her and took in what was before me. There was a small circular hole cut in the window, that wasn't the crash. Will's rocking chair was over turned and his airplane curtains where blowing in the wind. Slowly we both walked over to Will's crib hoping that maybe we scared whoever it was away without taking Will. There in his crib was his little blue blanket with a bulge under it. My heart skipped a beat as I tried not to think that maybe it was him. I watched as Scully moved one shaking hand out to move it and my heart fell through the floor when I saw that it was only his bear. I watched as Scully's face crumbled and she through herself onto her knees. I knelt down beside her and wrapped my arms around her and we rocked.
"Why this Mulder? Why us...what did we do wrong? Why couldn't they just give us this happiness, just once? Why not just once?"
