MINE
Written by: Erin M. Blair

"Mulder, there's something I have to tell you."
Scully doesn't have to tell me this wonderful news - I
already know. I can fully see her stomach, no longer
flat and barren, filled with our blossoming child.
"I already know, Scully." I gave her a warm, brilliant smile and joyfully
patted her stomach - I could picture our child safe and sound, looking
forward to the day where she or he can be born.
"You know?"
I nodded, looking at her round belly. "I'm very observant, Scully. It's
just...you don't know how much I wished I was there when you found out; I
never thought we would have children."
When I saw her holding Teresa's baby, I was distraught. I was so devastated
at the loss of Scully's not being able to have children. All I could
picture, in my mind, was all those babies that Scully would never claim as
hers.
I also thought of the sadness surrounding Emily, Scully's only chance for a
little girl of her own, and the short time she had with her. It touched me,
more than anything, of how much I wanted a child with her. I never told her
about the vial of her ova that I still had - it's in frozen storage at a
fertility clinic in Alexandria. I even made sure that Langly, Byers, and
Frohike had complete access to it if anything went wrong.
Never once, I tried letting myself think of how wonderful it would be to
have a son or a daughter with Scully.
"I don't know how, Mulder, but it's a miracle."
You can say that again, Scully.
"You know something, Scully. In my dreams, I have visions of a little boy
building a spaceship. That little boy is our son, Scully, but I never
realized it until now."
"You know what they about dreams?"
"Yes, I do."
"Finally we're going to have our baby. Part mine, part yours."
"I know, Mulder." She paused. "Mulder?"
"What?"
"Welcome home," said Scully as she tenderly bent over me to kiss me a kiss.
End of Vignette.
Feedback: Much appreciated with thanks. Send to: eblair@sonic.net
Dedicated: To Tanja and Joey, for being there. I also would like to thank my
new friends at POGAD for inspiration. You guys and gals rock as always. =)
This wouldn't have been completed if it wasn't for
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny bringing their
souls into Scully and Mulder, respectively.
Author's Notes: Yay! =) I finally finished my
Requiem post episode story; it took me
awhile but I completed it. It's great to have
the juices flowing again. I would like to thank my
supporters and friends for being there.
