(She laughs. MULDER leans over and looks 
at the doll's embroidered face.) 
MULDER: Oh, my, that's the wrong doll, 
actually. 
(She makes as if to hit him with the doll. 
They laugh.) 
SCULLY: But then that's the other gift that 
you gave me, Mulder. 
(He looks at her questioningly. She looks 
back at him fondly.) 
SCULLY: Courage... to believe. And I hope 
that's a gift I can pass on. 
(MULDER glances down at her belly and they 
smile at each other. She gently touches 
the doll's face. ) 


Then they ate pizza, they watched tv 
and they continued to joke. Coming back 
to the familiar intimacy was easier than 
expected. They stood still on 
the sofa, inhaling their scents, eyes 
locked in one another pondering the next 
move, the right decision. The doll, he gave 
her on the table next to them, watching them 
as a guardian.  They rested in silence for some 
instants but his gaze showed desire. He suddenly 
slided closer to her, and pulled her on him. 
He kissed her deeply without hesitation, she 
kissed him back with the same passion. Tongues 
dancing inside their mouths, hands desperately on 
each other body wanting to be everywhere at once. 
They were ... so eager.. of contact.... after so 
many months of separation. It seemed their first 
night together. 
Mulder started sucking her earlobe: " What did 
the doctor tell you?.....  Is sex forbidden?" 
He mumbled against her skin almost inaudible.
"No". She grabbed his heads tugging his hairs, 
demanding more. A flood of memories overwhelmed her.
"Good". He responded trailing the line of her neck and jaw.
"...but slowly and tender...". She said breathless.
He looked at her and smiled: "I like it".
So he slowed down. He carefully began to remove her 
nightdress button after button, he parted it and 
contemplated her "so changed" body. She was 
ashamed, he couldn't understand why....
"Oh please... Mulder I am.. so.."
"Ss, don't say it". He stopped her with a 
finger on her lips. 
"Let me do! .... You are.... so beautiful". 
He cupped her mature breast 
"... so sexy....". He brushed it with his tongue 
making her shiver and lose control. 
".... so motherly....". 
He gently touched her protruded belly with both 
hands and kissed it from side to side. Her finger 
still tangled in his hairs. She raised his head 
claiming him. 
He loved her. He belonged to her, all of his being 
and soul was hers. He closed his lips on hers moving 
slowly savoring the moment. She moaned and 
finally it was her turn. She had waited for him, she 
had prayed for him, she had dreamt of him and now she 
wanted him more than everything. She 
slipped her hands under his shirt and pulled it up. 
On his torso, light scars related to his recent deathly 
experience were still visible. She touched his 
muscles, and placed feathery kisses on each of these marks. 
She stopped at the edge of his jeans, yet preferring his lips. 
Their shape so .. incredible, their taste so... good. 
They were an addiction , she couldn't resist, after having 
missed them for so much time. Grasping they parted . 
Mulder took one of her hands and open it on his, 
he romantically kissed it. He stood up still holding her 
hand and let her do the same. He guided her ho her bedroom.  


They had made love, but it had been different. 
They remembered their last night together seven months 
before in a motel in Oregon. It had been 
wonderful also that night, but tonight it had been 
perfect, so intense. They had never been so close before. 
He was awake, holding her tight under the sheet, her head 
on his chest. He felt comfortable, he felt home. She moved a little. 
"You awake?"
"Yeah..". He kissed her forehead
"You ok?". She sounded worried
"I am in heaven". At his response she relaxed and tickled him
"Ouch!"He chuckled
He was soothing her but she was trying to leave his body.
Hence he had to confess her. 
"Please ..Stay..." not letting her go away. 
She looked at him curiously. 
"You know, I like your skin upon mine".  
He squeezed her upper arm. 
He paused and then: "I'm sorry. I've been so selfish,
the fact is.... I wasn't ready to share you with someone else." 
He laid a hand on her belly. "I like to feel the baby moving 
inside of you. It's so amazing and powerful". 
She tied her hand in his and said: " I think he senses your 
presence, I never felt him so active".  
He  nodded happily, but she had something more to tell him. 
"When I found .."she couldn't continue 
"when you...." she stopped again almost in tears. 
The memories were still to much hurting, thus she began 
rubbing his chest nervously.  "I was so scared...". She ended. 
He kissed her softly. 
"I know.... We are here now". He was so sweet and reassuring. 
"You have to rest. .. I' m not going anywhere". 
She snuggled on him wanting to melt in him. 
He tightened the embrace whispering her sweet words of love. 
And after a little they both felt asleep.


He dreamt the beach and the boy. 
The spaceship in the sand was completed and they were standing 
side by side admiring their work. Everything was 
so clear now: the meaning of their existences, their destiny.
"It's up to you now, my son!". 
Mulder patted proudly on the boy's shoulder.
"Yes father!" Replayed the young boy.
Father and son looked consciously in each other eyes. 
A passage. 
Mulder saw determination in his child.  
He sensed they were ready to fight the future.
