This is a really ambitious piece, and I give full credit for the writer's courage. I personally found the time-bouncing confusing; some spacing hints might have helped.
The dialogue is better, I think, than the metaphoric connective tissue. Bugs' prose edges into the purple zone. It's hard to forgive certain lines, IMO. I will find an example of the thing I mean. I tend to obsess over style.
It's a noble effort, but frankly I'm so angry about William canon that I doubt anyone could make me accept it. Why would giving up the child keep it safer? Most fans suspect that CC just wanted to get rid of the kid, so justifying that motive is virtually impossible.
I like ghosts, and I like William Mulder's ghost. (After all, the baby was named for him. It was quite necessary to specify this, as we had more Williams on deck than we needed.) As far as religion is concerned, I happen to be a believer, but I think the subject is best treated fictionally as what it is: the greatest of mysteries. Don't start talking about the throne of God and stuff. But I do love ghosts. I've done three (4?) fics, and two of them are about dead people. Weirdness, to quote Frohike.
Hey, it's almost Halloween! A hint to our moderator.
