Please note that I have re-written the latter part of the last chapter as it was not quite *pretty* as I expected and I badly needed to reword. It took me so long to finish this fan fic but I'm happy that I finally will able to finish it soon.
I'm listening to "You Are The Reason" by Calum Scott and Leona Lewis (Duet Version) as I write this chapter and although the song is totally in another direction than my story, I still feel the echo of the beautiful wordings like a dream.

Mulder breathed deeply as he pulled the hand-break of their rental car. He felt as if he is lost in between light and dark. He looked her, who is now in a deep sleep and her face glowing under the warm reflection of the street light.
It was dark inside the car, but yet he could see her small frame well. He smiled to himself as he leaned forward slowly to just to have one more glance at her, while she is peacefully asleep. He felt dreamy voices on the FM pounding against his heart.

Song: You Are The Reason by Calum Scott
Full credits to Mr. Calum Scott and to whoever deserves it. I do not own any part of the below lines.
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hand shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe…
His heart suddenly stopped as she stirred and pulled away a few strands of hair that covered her face.
"Hey…" he smiled
"Where is this…?" She looked around to get an idea where they were. "Mulder you should have woke me up" She whispered as she turned to face him.
"I was to…I was just…" He knew he didn't have any more words to say as their eyes met for one brief second. "Let's go in, you need to get a good rest. your body might still be in shock" he said softly as he stroked her cheek.
