Title: At Rest Summary: Scully reflects on the miracle she has been given. She never knew it would be this tough, but the joy was overwhelming. She looked at the tiny toes and tiny fingers and could barely believe that it was not all a dream. She had to pinch herself to make sure the last few days were real. Ten tiny fingers. So small. She recalled what Reyes had said in their 'shack'. "'I've never delivered a baby before,'" to which Scully replied, "'I've never given birth before.'" She sighed and wrapped him in a towel, dried and dressed him. Her mother smiled. "It's a beautiful thing, Dana." She touched the tiny fingers. Then she looked at her daughter. "Is something wrong, Dana?" Scully looked at her mom and then down at the baby. "I-I guess I just feel strange." Her mother rubbed her daughters arm affectionately. "It's a big change, having a baby, caring for it. Loving it. But it's a wonderful change." She smiled. "Now do I get a turn to hold my new grandson?" she took him from Scully's arms and walked towards the living room to sit. Scully followed her. "I-it's not that. I just never thought that I could have this-that this part of my life would never happen. It's a miracle." "And you deserve this, sweetie." She looked down at her bundle. "I think this little one is going for a nap." She replied softly, and stood, taking the little one with her to the bedroom. Scully got up and went back into the kitchen to clean up. It was a miracle.
The End
In Memory of Alex Krycek I can't tell you how much his death upset me. I knew it would affect me a lot and I would rather, I don't know...have Kersh, Knowle, Haskle, ALL 3 to die instead of him...I was in tears...I admit it...so even though this is short I couldn't really make it into a story at this late hr..or early hour. It's just a little piece. And when I watch it I will remember that Krycek wanted to kill Scully's baby at first to dispose of the evidence but he was murdered in cold blood for being a VERY good bad guy and really, I think Chris's dart was aimed at the WRONG man (fan fic). Things will never be the same again. Must be time for a Krycekathon.
