Spoilers:  

Her only thought was *HE IS ALIVE!* Scully had never realized how much she
cared and loved Fox Mulder, until he was gone.  And now he had just burst in
on her and Skinner pointing guns at each other.  Skinner had kept the data
tape.  But She didn't care where, again the thought plagued my existence *He
was alive and I knew that he was.  Wait, I knew?  How did I know?  I had told
his mother that he would be okay.  It was out of the misty haze of a dream
that I had saw him.  He said we had a bond and that he would come back to me.
Come back to try to protect me.  But he was worried that he might not make it
to before it, they, them, whom ever come out of the wood pile, where the rats
hide, and do me harm.*  

He was here to protect me now.  He had come across the sands of time, space,
life and death to protect me.  He asked if I was "Okay" and I with my mouth
hanging open and gaping at the man I saw before me.  He eyes bright with fear
and love.  Was that fear and love that I saw in his eyes for me and because of
me?  I mumbled that I was fine.  Skinner handed over the his gun.  Mulder and
Skinner argued of the data tape. I tried to follow the conversation but my
mind was in a whirl.  Skinner decided that no deals would be made and that he
would keep the tape in his protection.  Mulder motioned for me to give him
back his gun I did.  He stormed out.

Mulder who was two thoughts ahead of me was telling me we need to go
somewhere. And was already move me out into the hallway to the elevator.  He
looked healthy.  His hair had not been brushed, truly he looked as if he had
just rolled out of bed.  

"Mulder..."

"Scully..."

He cut me off.  "I went to your father's funeral. I told your mother that you
were okay"

"How did you know?"

"I just knew." I was not about to tell him that I had dreamed of him. And in
that he dream he had told me that he would be okay and that he was coming to
protected me.  We moved into the elevator.  He was here, he was safe and he
had come back to protect me.  

Then her body moved of its own violation towards him.  Before she new what she
was doing she had wrapped her arms around his and pulled him close.  He did
not resist, but in stead he put his arms around her and held her close.  

She could hear his heart beat.  It was reassuring somehow.  It was steady and
constant.  Mulder thought he heard he sob.  He looked down to see tears slide
down her face.  That made him pull her tighter against him.  "It is okay, I am
here now.  I am sorry I didn't come to you sooner.  I am here to keep you safe
now"

"I thought you were dead.  I didn't know what to do.  I just wanted you
back..."

Mulder listen intently.  But what he didn't realize was that tears had begun
to flow down his face.  "It is okay Scully. I am here now" He gently soothed
her.  He could feel the hot tears that she cried, fall on his chest and soaked
in to his shirt.  They stood there for what seemed an eternity.  Neither moved
they just held on. For the moment they both forgot about Aliens, government
cover-ups, and all the other lies that kept the truth from them.   


The End
