Miss You Three
Written by: Erin M. Blair
------------------------------------

It was morning when I first heard Mulder
walking around with you, William. Your cries
were the first thing that I heard when I 
entered the nursery. He handed 
you to me and your little body rested
against my shoulder. "Oh, how I missed
you!"

"Scully, I think William missed you, too,"
he told me. He leaned over to see you, William,
and I knew how much I missed the both of you. 

"I can't believe I did that, Mulder."

"You did what you thought was right, Scully. If
it were me, I probably would have done the same
thing. He's here with us, Scully, and will be 
until he goes off to college." He paused. "In the
meantime, I'll be in the den while you have some
time to bond with William."

I could feel his soft lips kissing me ever so gently. I 
smelled the wonderous aroma of his aftershave. "Thanks, 
Mulder. Do you know how much I love you?"

I watched him nod. He smiled gently at me. 

"You know I do, Scully."

I watched him enter the den to work on the
paperwork for him to get his job back. I knew
he had so much to do in order to get reinstated,
especially since Kersh told him that he wanted
him back. 

As I looked at you, William, I couldn't fathom the
months without you. I missed your soft auburn 
hair and that soft baby smile of yours. I'm thankful 
that the Van de Kamps decided to give you back to us. 

I can't believe that I was taken in by
those people who threatened our lives, that
we weren't safe. They almost separated us - 
you know, divide and conquer. They almost
won in their deceit. You should know that I was
a fool for giving you up, for letting go. Your daddy
wasn't with me, William, and I know he wouldn't
agree. 

I see, now, how wrong I was. Please forgive me,
my sweet Will. I thought I was protecting you. 
Seeing you here with me reaffirms my knowledge
that you're back with your daddy and me.

Until you go off to college, that is.

Author's Notes:

This is the third installment of the "Miss You" series. There
will be a total of eight installments. I hope you enjoy this 
series as I have fun writing them. However, these can be 
read as a standalone. :) Just know this: this is set during 
an AU The Truth. Mulder has come back, got William, and 
Mulder, Scully, and William are together. ;)

Thanks for reading them and your continued support of my
work.
