AS I WAIT
Written by: Erin M. Blair <eblair@sonic.net>
--------------------------------------------

After Assistant Director Jana Cassidy told me to 
leave the meeting room, I went into the hallway. She
was asking my partner, Dana Scully, about the explosion
in Dallas. 

I sat on the bench in the hallway and took off
my jacket. I put the jacket beside me on the bench. I
had to think. I had so many questions about the bombing. Scully 
and I were told that the building was clear, but I know for a fact 
that ASAC Michaud didn't come out. But how is it possible that 
two firemen and a little boy were in there? 

None of this makes any sense to me at all. How could it?  If it 
did, Scully and I wouldn't be here at the OPR. 

We had saved countless lives due to our search of the 
building. The federal building was too well-guarded, so I had
decided to search the other building. It turned out to be a
smart move on my part. I found the bomb when I tried to get
a soda with Scully. I was locked in with it. I told Scully  how
scared I was when we took the flight back to D. C. I also 
told her that if she hadn't ask me to get her
a soda, we'd have been dead. I told her my thanks, but I wish
wish that I could have told her how much I feel towards her. 

I should have told her how much I love her and how she makes
me feel whole. I love her so much. I need her to always be a part of
my life. I've always known that I love her. From the moment
when we first met, I knew that she would be a major 
part of my life. She's the best part of my life right now. I want us to 
be the most important part in each other's lives. I know I've said 
it, but I need to say it again: I want her to be in my life forever. 

Who knows? 

Maybe I can tell how much she means to me when she comes out of
the meeting room. I want to take her in my arms and kiss her. 

Someday, I will tell her how much I love her. Someday, we will
get married. We'll have children. She thinks that she can't have
children, but I had found out recently that she can. The tests
were wrong. She still has some ova left. 

As I wait here, I realize how much I love her. 

I love Dana Scully.

End of Vignette. 

Author's Note: This is a standalone vignette which
isn't part of any series. Here is another movie 
fanfic from me. Don't worry, I will write more. =) This 
story was originally written in 1998, but I have recently
made some revisions to this vignette. I hope you'll like the
changes. I would like to thank Jen for beta reading this story
for me.
