Sometimes, it all seems like a dream, her life too full of miracle and wonder to be real. A year ago, this scene would have been beyond imagination. Yet here she sits, crosslegged, resting against a pile of pillows, nursing her child. A tiny vein in his forehead pulses with each movement of his jaw. She is no less astounded at the presence of the man jostling the bed as he climbs aboard. Holding a carton of ice cream and a soup spoon, Mulder slides close, his long legs surrounding her. His beautifully arched foot nestles against the curve of her thigh, his toes wriggling against her bare skin. They are a study in opposites: straight and curved, hard and soft. Leaning forward, he kisses her with lips cool and sticky sweet. "Open wide," he says, spoon laden with butter pecan waiting for admittance. "The milkfat will do you good." As usual he is right.
