    "Goodnight." I whispered to my sleeping son as I laid him
in his crib. I shook out my aching arm. He was definitely
growing.
    
    "One day, Will, your father will come home and see how
big his little boy has gotten." I walked over to the window.
The moon was shining and the stars twinkled in the night sky. 
      
    "One day it will be safe for him to come home, and 
he'll never have to leave us again." I realized I was speaking
more to myself than to Will now. When Mulder left he had said
almost the same thing to me. *One day, Scully, I'll come back
forever* Small tears started to form in my eyes as I stood 
there, remembering. A knock at the door interrupted my 
thoughts. I could guess who it was. I had a new neighbor next 
door and I had helped her move in.

    "I'm Coming" I said loud enough so she could here, but not 
loud enough to wake up Will. She'd already come by twice to 
thank me. I guess she figured third time's the charm.


 "One day it will be Mulder at the door." 
  
   I opened the door and stood there amazed as I realized that 
"One day" is today.


The end.
