A View from the Door
Written by: Erin M. Blair
------------------------------------

I knew I shouldn't witness this moment
of love between Mulder and Scully.  I shouldn't 
have been viewing their private moment together. I tried 
to pry myself from the door, but I couldn't. 

Yet.

When I first saw Mulder and Scully together
in that hospital room, I knew they were 
meant to be. I felt so moved by this exchange 
of love...of how their eyes lit up like a decorated
Christmas tree. I could tell they love each other 
like the stars revolving around the moon.   

Ever since my son's death, I wanted to die. I
couldn't go on living without Luke. I closed myself
off from any emotion. That's why Barbara and I
divorced. It was such a painful time for me. 

I thought Scully was the one for me, but I 
knew she was already in love with Mulder. That's
why she wanted to find him desparately. 

Their love was precious and eternal like 
a flame burning bright. I know I 
shouldn't have been looking at them. Mulder 
and Scully deserve every single happiness 
in the world. I could tell how much 
they they love each other by the way they
gazed into each other's eyes. I remember when I
used to gaze into my wife's eyes.

And I know what Mulder has with Scully is
the most precious kind of love. She belonged 
with Mulder; he had marked her as his years 
ago...probably since the very day he 
became Scully's partner.

I could only hope that I'll find someone to 
love as Mulder did.

Author's Notes:

This is my first Doggett fic. I know this story is
different from what I usually write, but I thought
about the scene in DeadAlive when Doggett 
watched Mulder and Scully from the door. I wondered
what he was thinking. 

This story was written for Sam's giftfic in the Santa 
Gift Fic Challenge at the MSRPreservation Society's
mailing list. 

I hope you'll enjoy this story, Sam. ;)
