Author's notes: Ok, this is my first attempt at fanfic 

(it started as a post on the OS) so be gentle! :-) If 

it's not any good at all, well...it never hurt to try 

right? So anyway here goes... 

Oh yeah, Mulder, Scully, and pretty much everything 

below don't belong to me. They belong to CC, 1013,DD, 

GA, etc. 



Have fun!

There were many words she could think of to describe 

Fox Mulder, but skeptical had never been one of them. 

That is until now... 



The look on his face said it all. 'How is it that I can 

be so lucky?' 



He was mesmerized by the scene in front of him. 

Scully sat in the rocking chair that Skinner had given 

them as a baby shower/going away present, a few feet away. 

William, safely tucked between her and the soft blanket, 

slept peacefully. 



"I know Mulder." Scully said softly, reading his thoughts, 

"I can hardly believe it myself." 



"We've seen some pretty amazing things Scully," Mulder said 

kneeling down to get a closer look at the miracle that lie 

before his eyes, "but I think this one takes the cake."



Scully smiled, gently tucking the soft cotton around her 

son's sleeping face. "We couldn't have done it without you 

Mulder." 



"Well if I'm not mistaken, you played a pretty 

big part yourself mom," Mulder said smiling. 

Scully rolled her eyes, but couldn't help laughing. 

Will stirred at the sound of his parents' voices. 

Mulder reached out his finger for the small hand. 



With his eyes still closed, the baby took the finger 

offered and quickly thrust it into his mouth. Within 

minutes he was asleep again, Mulder's large finger 

still safely between his tiny ones. 



Somewhere in the back of his mind, Mulder took a mental 

picture-never wanting to forget this moment for the 

rest of his life. 



Scully couldn't keep her eyes from watering at the perfect 

sight before her. After all those long months of fearing 

the worst, and going through his horrible death, her 

prayers had finally been answered. He was here and he 

wasn't going anywhere. 



 Suddenly Mulder felt Scully's hand on his face, and 

looked up seeing for the first time that she was crying. 

It took him only a few seconds to realize that he was too. 

Gently she wiped away his tears. Slowly, and careful not 

to wake the sleeping William, Mulder touched his lips to 

her soft face, tasting the salt of her tears. 



"I love you Scully," he said gently tucking a strand of 

stray hair behind her ear. 



Without hesitation Scully answered, "I love you too Mulder." 

taking his hand. At this William cooed, and both Mulder and 

Scully laughed. 



Mulder smiled remembering their first meeting. How much he 

had enjoyed being "Rob and Laura Petrie. Scully's abduction-

how helpless and scared he was when she was suffering from 

her cancer, and how happy he was when she was *really* 'fine'. 



Reading Mulder's thoughts, Scully remembered the baseball, 

the "Walking in Memphis", and how he had kept her warm the 

night before he left for Oregon. She thought of how a part 

of her had died when he was gone, and how happy she was now 

that he was back. 



The sound of Mulder's voice brought Scully back to the 

present. She laughed when she realized what he was saying. 



"Well one thing's for sure Will. Once you get old enough,

your mommy and I have some great bedtime stories! You'll be 

the envy of all the kids on the block!" He gave Scully's hand 

a squeeze and smiled. 



After all these years of chasing aliens and conspiracies, 

through Moth Men and Flukeman, and more strange things than 

he could count, Mulder was finally at peace. He smiled 

knowing that he had found the truth...and it was absolutely 

perfect.

a line! Pretty please? :-)
