'QUIET VIGIL'

"Tell you what I'd do:"

Scully scanned the dark forest. Nothing moved; she didn't trust the stillness.

"Throw away the cars and the bars and the wars-" and the aliens, mutants, conspiracies -

Was Mulder asleep yet? She felt weird singing, hadn't remembered this line ...

She shifted. Mulder stirred.

".. 's’wrong .. Scull ..?" he slurred.

"Shhh, Mulder, sleep. Everything's okay."

"Mmm. Don' stop .. singin' ..." He snuggled in closer, relaxed.

Scully sighed, smoothed his hair. He felt too warm. She hugged him tighter.

"... make sweet love to you."

Scully kissed his temple softly. He sighed, murmured something.

Still nothing stirred.

"Joy ... to the world ..."
