You have to go

***

He had just reported to her what Kersh told him, that his life was
menaced. He didn't want to quit her and their son but she felt it was
ineluctable. They weren't meant to be happy together. Their fates kept
on separating them. She raised her gaze to him, eyes full of tears.

"You have to go, Mulder. I can't bear to lose you again but I need to
know you are safe. I have to go on without you last year, thinking you
were dead. It was worse than anything. I prefer to know that you are
alive even if it means you have to hide far away from here. I love you
too much to let you risk your life."

He embraced her tenderly while she broke down in cry. She was already
sensitive to mood swings because she had just given birth and her
conviction that he must leave wasn't helping.

He kissed her hairline and rocked her in his arms.

"I will do anything you want, Scully, you know that. I love you so much.
I love our baby so much I can't begin to imagine what it will do to me
to be separated from you. But I'll do if it insures your safety. I 'll
leave, Baby"

" I don't want you to but you have to."

No other words were spoken this night. They went to bed and cuddled.
That what she remembered tonight while sleeping on the couch, next to
their miracle baby, William.
