Summary: Scully just can't seem to believe her first time
         sleeping with Mulder... (not smut, I promise)

Author's Note: I first wrote this one quite a while ago....I
sent it to a select few in email...donno where it is now.
I was a little nervous about releasing this one into the den
of critics, but it's always refreshing to get a new point of
view. Sorry that's it still very shippy....I know it gets a
little old reading the same thing over and over and over
again especially for long periods of time!! Bear with me on
this one... I'm just kinda getting into the fanfic "thing"-any
suggestions are more than welcome!! Feel free to mail any
flames to me at vbjess@aol.com, or techie_girl4@yahoo.com.
Sometimes aol is not 100% compatible with other email
providers... ::cough::peiceofcrapsoftware! Lol.,....hope you
enjoy this little thing!

Ps...I CANNOT spell my way out of a paper bag.(thanks be to 
God for spell check!!) Therefore, you will have to excuse my
lack-of-spelling-abilities, and the almost constant typos. 
(hey, I'm getting a little better!)

"C'mon Scully, wake up."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"An hour."

Slowly, I stood up, and stretched the sleep from my arms.
Mulder handed me my coat, and a stack of papers.

"Why don't you look through these tonight, and let me know
what you think?"

"I'll try...I'm just so incredibly tired."

"That doesn't sound like you Scully. You're usually so fine.
Is there something wrong?" His eyes glinted mischievously.
I almost glared at him, but was too tired.
"I don't know. I'm just tired, I guess."

"Come on, I'll drive you home."

"Thanks Mulder." I sleepily answered.

We got to the car, where I fell asleep as soon as we were
out of the parking garage, leaning against the edge of my
seat. I felt Mulder's hand slowly move up and own my leg as
I fell into an even deeper sleep. My body didn't know
whether to be excited or relaxed at his touch. I felt a bit
lightheaded. Suddenly I felt his lips on the side of my
face.

"Dana," He whispered in my ear. "Wake up. You're home."

"Home..." I murmured. I heard the car door open, shut, and
then my own door open as an icy blast of winter wind hit me
full force. I shivered, and tried to move further into the
car. Mulder's capable arms were around me, lifting me out,
and carrying me upstairs. The snow snuck down the collar of
my coat, hitting my bare neck. I leaned into Mulder, trying
to escape the cold. He held me tighter, taking it as a
gesture of affection. Finally, he put me down to unlock my
door, keeping his arm around my waist the entire time. He
picked me up again, and carried me into my bedroom.

"You know scully, I kinda feel like I'm carrying you over
the threshold."

"I believe you are Mulder."

He sat me down on my bed, and helped me out of my coat and
jacket.

"Scully, I want you to get ready for bed while I go get
something out of the car."

I nodded sleepily. He kissed my forehead and left. I was just
thinking about what a good guy he was as I heard someone
laugh softly. I turned my head, but they were gone. I almost
thought I was imagining it, but someone was taking my shoes
off. I grabbed my gun, and just about killed that good guy.
He took the gun from my hands, and put it in the nightstand,
where it belonged. He kissed me, and started unbuttoning my
blouse as a parent would do for a sleepy child. I, however,
was not feeling up to the role of a sleepy child.

"Where are your pyjamas, Scully?"

I sighed. "Don't bother Mulder."

He went out of parent mode, and kissed me long and hard,
totally surprising me. "Is that what you mean?"

"Not exactly." I stood up, freed myself from him, and
finished changing in the bathroom. I took off my makeup, and
brushed my teeth. When I came back into the room, Mulder was
asleep, standing up. Now it was my turn to become the
parent. I gently helped him out of his coat. He opened his
eyes at my actions.

"Mulder, you're as tired as I am. C'mon, you can stay here
tonight." I undid his tie, and the top buttons of his
shirt.He put his hands on the sides of my face.

"Scully, you've always been so good to me. What did I ever
do to deserve it?"

"You were you." I moved away, and climbed under the sheets,
still as sleepy as ever. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw
Mulder undress down to his underwear. Finally, he climbed in
bed with me. A little surprised, I swallowed, and calmed
down, reasoning that he was too tired to realize what he was
doing. And so was I, apparently.  He put his powerful arms
around me, and I got a little closer to him, thinking of all
the times that he had saved me from evil with the same arms
that were caressing me to sleep.

"Goodnight Mulder."

" 'Nite Scully."

 *              *

I opened my eyes, aware of something odd. I felt someone's
arm around me, and estimated the amount of time and
movement it would take to get my gun from the nightstand. I
remembered something about Mulder putting it there last
night. I slowly, quietly freed myself, and climbed out of
bed. Gun in hand, I carefully aimed. My captive rolled over,
and pushed the blanket off of his face.

"Holyshitwhatdidido!!" Somehow, my swearing was done softly.

I slowly backed away, afraid that I might wake him. I
started shaking, and dropped my gun. Moments later, I joined
my gun on the floor, helplessly seeing everything go black.
