Summary:  A little vignette about Mulder's thoughts while saving Scully
in the Antarctic.



*I had you big time.*

Yeah, you did.

For a moment there, Scully, I thought the light of my life had been
extinguished.  I thought the candle you held above your head in faith
and trust had been snuffed out.

For a moment there, Scully, I saw myself screaming your name into the
heavy, velvet sky.  I saw your chest, unmoving, and thought you had left
me for good.

For a moment there, Scully, I didn't care if I was eaten alive by those
damned aliens, as long as you survived.  I didn't care about the
X-files, about Samantha, about the truth -- as long as you were saved.

For a moment there, Scully, I thought we would never finish the kiss we
had started earlier.  I thought I would never feel your lips, warm
against mine.

For a moment there, Scully, I thought I would never be able to tell you
that I love you.

*I had you big time.*

Yes, Scully, you certainly did.  But please don't do it again.  I'm not
sure I can take any more of your jokes.

end.
