<i>Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster's gone,
He's on the run
And your daddy's here ..</i>

Mulder swayed in the hallway outside Scully's 
bedroom, crooning softly to William against his 
chest, trying to quiet the baby's sobs without 
waking Scully.

Mulder was still awed by everything.  He hadn't 
stopped smiling since yesterday.  William was 
so tiny, so beautiful, so amazing.  And his - 
his and Scully's.  He'd never imagined that 
anything could be so wonderful, and he'd never 
felt so proud - or hopeful for the future - in 
his life.

<i>I can hardly wait
To see you come of age ..</i>

*********

Somewhere in New Mexico, Mulder laid his head 
on his outstretched arm and sobbed.  The 
photograph fluttered from between his fingers 
to land beside his forgotten burger and tepid 
coffee.

<i>Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful 
boy ..</i>
