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

Song for a heart so big
God couldn't let it live

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.
