Sequel to "Miss You." ------------------------------------ Miss You, Too Written by: Erin M. Blair ------------------------------------ The morning dew is on the trees, changing winter to spring, as your touch awaits me. Holding you close to me, our hearts joined as one, beating. The sweet aroma of your fruity perfume is the first smell that I awake to. Your arms embrace me and I can feel your heartbeat next to mine. Your touch is soft, full of love. Embracing the fruit of your beauty. Your eyes are like the blue sky that I see in the day. Your hair is like the color of fire. Your skin is as white as snow. Your beauty, like the angel, is perfection. You know the love that I see in your eyes. Clear as the crystal that your sister gave you -- is my love for you. I'm washed with love, holding you close, knowing the sweet aroma of your love brought me to you. I'm back in your bosom, knowing we could be together, forever more. I was lost when I was away from you. I missed you so much, Scully, and now I'm back. I will never go away. "Scully... God, how I missed you." "Mulder," you murmur in my hair. "You don't know I much I missed you. I was lost without you. I didn't know how to deal... It was like I'd lost you again." "So sorry, Scully. I didn't want to go. You know that. We thought that I was in danger. Obviously, I wasn't the one who needed to be protected -- it was William. I'm here now, forever more. I want to go back in time, to erase the pain, and to give our son back to you." I make a promise right then and there: I will never let you out of my sight. I won't ever leave your side again. I wanted to be with you and William so much. There were times that I wanted to come back, to hold the two of you in my arms and never let go. "How can we get our son back, Mulder?" you ask me. There are tears in your blue eyes, threatening to fall. "I thought I had no choice in the matter. He's gone from our lives." "I refuse to believe that," I reassure you tenderly. I hold you in my arms, and my hand soothes your back, reassuring you that I love you with all my heart. "I believe in our strength, Scully. We will get him back. I have faith in us." "I wish I could believe the same thing, Mulder. So much has happened to us, to you, to me, and to William. I don't know where to even start looking." "We can get him back because I never signed the adoption papers. I wouldn't have signed them, Scully. They need to know that." I get up from the bed and then I start to make some calls. "Skinner, it's Mulder. I'm back in DC." A pause. "I was wondering if you could pull some strings...for William. We want to get him back." As I am talking to Skinner, I see a hopeful smile appear on your face. Your smile lights up like a lightning bolt. It is a lovely smile indeed. There is still hope of getting our son back. I *just* know we can get him back. - end - Feedback: Much appreciated.
