From: "Dream Cole" Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2001 22:59:07 -0500 Subject: xfc: NEW : Awe - The Dream Series Source: xfc Title: Awe Author: Dream Cole E-mail: dreamcole@hotmail.com Archive: Just let me know. Rating: PGish. Classifications: V, MSR (Okay, MSM), S Spoilers: None. But I'm ignoring any episode that said Scully could not have children. So you can say it didn't happen or there was some miracle between then and now. This is kind of a continuation of the Dream Series, although it is quite obvious what happened. If you are interested in reading the others in the series, please e-mail me and let me know. Summary: Bad news. Disclaimer: I don't own em. I'd like to, but I don't. Quick note: This is a continuation from Exhaustion and Peace so if you haven't read those yet you might want to go read them. You'll probably get the picture of what's going on, but just in case... :-) Awe A baby! We're going to have a baby! I can hardly conceive of this. I mean, yes this isn't a new thing because we already have Dream. But it's still exciting! I can't wait! A new baby! Another bundle of love! I already have big plans. I'm not bothered by a girl or boy. I don't harbor any secret preferences. I'd be more than content with either. I can't wait. Have I said that already? I know, I'm gushing. I mean, I know I was totally panicking about it earlier but this is a dream come true. It'll be okay in the end. Right? I mean, one of us won't have to work and I don't mind if it's me. And, yes things might get complicated but we could make it work. It's going to be our new baby! Back to my plans. If it's a girl... a little sister for Dream. She can wear the hand-me-downs, however we'd be sure to let her have her own clothes. We could dress them alike and people would gush about how cute they are! I can just imagine Dream teaching her new little sister things. Dream has this soft side, this sweet side to her, and I know she would love a family member. But if it's a boy... Oh wow. I could teach him to play basketball. He'd be my little boy. I could teach him how to fix things, to meet girls, everything a dad does. I would be there for my little boy. I'd tell him I'd love him everyday, and make sure that he knows that I mean it. That I do love him. Because I would. My own childhood wasn't that great and I'll make sure that never happens to my boy. And when he gets older, I can see him protecting Dream, taking care of his older sister. The dreams are endless. You know, when my wife first told me that we were having another child, it didn't really hit me. I mean, I understood but it seemed too far off, unimaginable. So I said yes to it and went on with my life, not giving it a second thought. Then we went to the doctor's. She had a checkup and everything went fine. I blocked out all the medical junk and distanced myself from the situation. And then I heard the tiny beating of a little heart. That's my child's heart. It wasn't an object, a thing, something to be avoided. It's a baby, my baby and soon enough we'll meet and bond. I can hardly wait. Author's Note: Short but sweet. I have the next one in progress, sorry it's taken a while to write, I've been busy. Feedback!
