     "Want me to help you with the next part of it?"  Mulder's voice was 
low and warm in her ear.  She nodded.
     He sat down on the bed and began to sing.  Their voices harmonised 
sweetly.  Apparently Mulder had heard what Scully had been singing and 
knew the natural progression from the songs on the CD.

  "Boy, you gotta carry that weight
   Carry that weight a long time
   Boy, you gotta carry that weight
   Carry that weight a long time
   
   I never give you my pillow
   I only send you my invitation
   And in the middle of the celebrations
   I break down
   
   Boy, you gotta carry that weight
   Carry that weight a long time
   Boy, you gotta carry that weight
   Carry that weight a long time"

       Before they could proceed any farther, they glanced towards their
son and noticed he was asleep.  Both smiled and then got up to leave the
room, Dana stopping to dim the lights. 
      "Michelle asleep too?" she asked after they'd quietly stepped back 
into the living room.  Mulder nodded.
     "It only took the usual lullaby to put her to sleep."
     Dana smiled.  "Always works like a charm."
     "C'mon.  We've got work to do.  Skinner's gonna have our butts if we
don't finish this report, even if we *do* have agents working under us
now." 
     "You always know how to brighten an evening, Mulder." she smiled at 
him. 
     "Do you believe in an afterlife?"  It was an old question.
     "I'd settle for a life in this one."
     "Agent Scully, I do believe you've got it." Mulder grinned at his 
wife, who playfully swiped and deliberately missed him.
     They got to work.
