Summary: My very personal take on the adoption.

****

Adoption. The scariest word for a mother. They have talked about it just before he disappeared. He just told her:

 “We must have a plan. If William is in danger and you can’t assure his safety…you have to do it”

 She couldn’t answer to that. Here they were, new parents and already discussing the possibility that their baby boy was in danger. He was right, she knew it. She raised her eyes and saw the unshed tears in his hazel orbs.

 And now, she had to decide what was best for their son and Mulder wasn’t here. She was all alone and she didn’t want to let go of their son, the symbol of their love. But she had to protect him from harm so she took the paperwork and started to fill the adoption papers.

 She felt dead inside. This was worse than anything but she was used to sacrifice. And it was the last one : she had nothing left to lose.
