Summary: Vignette Scully POV

Oh William I'm so sorry
I had to leave you
I did not know what else I could do
Please be safe
In the arms of a friend
And not in the arms of those who want you dead

Why
Why do they wish you dead
What are you
How did you come to be

These are all questions
I myself shall not know the answer to
And yet I ponder your very existence
Perhaps Margaret is right
You are my child
And I shall love you for your very essence
And oh I do
I love you more than words can say

Oh William
Please be safe
Please don't let the men take you
You have power
More power than I can understand
Use that power
To save yourself William
Use that energy
To protect your very existence in this world

Why would men wish to see you dead?
What kind of men are these?
Men of fear, nightmares, and evil.
Men who care nothing for you
Only for themselves
Selfishness is something once to often reconciled.

Oh my dear child
What shall happen to you in these waking hours?
I need to find you
And you should know that in my heart
I will do everything I can
Everything humanly possible
I cannot let you be taken from me
I cannot live this way
And if you shall die
I fear what shall happen to myself.
I fear for your life as I fear for mine
You are my very existence and essence
You are the piece of my flesh and blood
That wakes me in the early hour
To live yet another day without the man I long for
You keep me happy
And yet now without you
I fear the end
The end of all existence
The end of your own precious life

Oh dear child
Please hear my words calling out to you
You are the reason I breathe
You are the spirit of the air
And the leaves on the trees
You make the seasons what they are
The summer happiness
The fall chill
Your chill is a breath of fresh air
And I long to find you safe
Sleeping slumberly in your car seat

Oh William
Please know that I will never give up
I will find you
I must
Even if my life shall end
Know that I will find you in my dying days
And shall discover a safe passage for you to take
A safe hideaway so that you
And only you can live without fear
Without pain or worry

Oh dear son
Please don't let the earth
The cold
Swallow you whole
Be forever full of fervor
And when I shall find you
I shall see you happy and carefree
With no worries in your eyes or heart
I shall make you eternal
For that is what they fear my son
They fear your immortality
Something I shall give you
When death comes my way
I shall protect you and take your place
For you are my son
And any mother would do the same
Given the circumstance
I'd give my life to save you
If I nearly had the chance
But that is not what these men want
They want your life and Mulder's
And yet I don't see why
I recently heard that Mulder might have died
And if in a grave rests his body soon
How I fear having no one to turn to

Both men in my life have been taken
Have been lost and abducted
William you were the reason I lived on
When Mulder was gone.
Oh what shall I do without you my son?
How can I live each passing day?
Awaiting for your return
I can't go through what Fox did as a little boy
Waiting all his life to find the truth
Of his sister Samantha and her abduction

This goes to deep to far
I can't see past this hazy mist
My tears shall fall
Oh please don't let them cloud my judgment
I need to find you oh William
My son
My child
I shall never have sent Mulder away without you
You two would have been happy together
I could have survived the angst
The pain
At least knowing you're alive and safe.
