Mulder POV Disclaimer 1- The X Files isn't mine! I don't have money, so suing my would be futile. Disclaimer 2- "Butterfly Kisses" belongs to Bob Carlisle. Not me. Disclaimer 3- I know nothing about DC geography. I'm guessing there's a Marriot in DC because every city has a Marriot. I doubt there's an Our Lady of the Snow church in DC, but I know there's one up here by me. April 7, 2005 Mulder residence My daughter was born 9 pounds, 7 ounces, 24 inches long on December 24, 2000 at 11:27 PM. A screaming ball of bright red hair and deep blue eyes. It was the best Christmas present Scully and I could ever ask for. I smile as she runs up to me and tugs excitedly on my shirt. "Daddy!! Come on, I wanna ride on the pony! Please daddy?" She begs, knowing that I'll give her almost anything she wants. I walk over to the small ring with a small pony on a lead. She giggles as I hoist her up to sit on the saddle. "Daddy, you're gonna walk with me, right?" December 18, 2016 The Marriot She's still 15. She is. And she's having her Sweet 16 party right now. It cost a pretty penny. Renting the Marriot for a party isn't exactly cheap, you know. Then there was the flowers, and the DJ and the dress. My God, she got the most expensive dress in the whole store, I swear. Oh, who am I kidding? I wish she was the same adorable, dependent 5 year old girl who would run up to me and beg me to carry her. Now she's almost 16, and would kill me if I did anything too weird in front of her friends. But she still thinks I'm "cool" so that's gotta be something, right? Scully and I think that we're "cool" because we're FBI agents and we can shoot people if need be. "Daddy? How come you're sitting over here? Mom's looking for you." I look up at her smiling face. "Too much Backstreet Boys for my liking, sweetie." I grin. She smiles. "Mom said that the DJ wanted to know something. Come on." June 9, 2026 Our Lady of the Snow Roman Catholic Church "And do you, Samantha Dana Mulder, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, though sickness and health, 'til death do you part?" "I do." "You may kiss the bride." She's no longer my baby. Sure, she'll always be my daughter, but she'll never actually be *mine* anymore. She's Brian's now. She's now Samantha Dana Marriette. At least she'll never have to change anything she's had monogramed since she was born. I'll always remember everything about her childhood. Especially the night-time rituals. And the butterfly kisses we'd share as Scully turned out the lights. The End. "Butterfly Kisses" Bob Carlisle There are two things I know for sure She was sent here from heaven And she's daddy's little girl As I drop to my knees, by her bed at night. She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes And I thank God for all of the joy in my life. Oh, but most of all For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer Stickn' little white flowers all up in her hair "Walk beside the pony daddy, it's my first ride." "I know the cake looks funny daddy, but I sure tried." Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night. Sweet sixteen today She's lookn' like her mama a little more everyday One part woman, the other part girl To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls. Trying her wings out in a great big world But I remember butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer Stickn' little white flowers all up in her hair. You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time. Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right. To deserve her love every morning And butterfly kisses at night. She'll change her name today She'll make a promise and I'll giver her away Standing in the bride room, just staring at her She asks me what I'm thinking, And I say "I'm not sure. I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." She leaned over And gave me butterfly kisses with her momma right there Stickn' little white flowers all up in her hair. "Walk me down the aisle daddy, it's just about time." "Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?" "Daddy, don't cry." Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right. To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses I couldn't ask god for more, Oh this is what love is. I know I've got to let her go But I'll always remember Every hug in the morning And butterfly kisses
