Really, don't worry." "Of course I'm going to worry, Dana. How much longer are you going to put yourself in danger?" "If I quit now they win." Scully proclaimed. Margaret Scully looked at her daughter, she looked so tired, so run down. "Honey I'm worried about you, It seems like you haven't..." "I know mom, I know. But I'm not going to leave Mulder, not now." Her mother smiled. "Why? Are you two finally up to something?" Scully made a noise that gave away her secret. Annoyed she replied. "We kissed last night...and this morning." Noticing the look on her mother's face she explained. "Nothing happened, we just held each other. Nothing else." "Well when it does come to something else..." "If mom...if." "If...just make sure you use protection, the last thing you need is to get pregnant." Scully looked up suddenly from her plate, and just as quickly looked away. "Mom, I need to tell you something." Scully could feel her heart breaking all over again, "When I found out about Emily, Mulder told me about some things he found in Allentown. I can't have children." "What?!" her mother asked "Oh, Dana, I'm so sorry, I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me sooner." "I don't know. I've had a lot of time to come to terms with it, so I"m better." Mrs. Scully looked down at her half-eaten lunch, already full, she suggested that they window shop for awhile. "That sounds like a good idea. I'm meeting Mulder for dinner at 6:00, so I ought to be home by 5:00." She nodded and waved their waiter over. ************************************************** Walking down Monomerdria Street, Margaret and Dana walked for an hour past old shops filled with antiques and collectibles. At the end of the street they came to a baby store. "Dana, I want to buy something for Matthew." "Lets go in." As they walked through the door to the baby shop, Scully began to wonder if she and Mulder would ever reach a point in their relationship where they would settle down and have a family of their own. The thought passed quickly from her mind when she saw a child's dress. A simple sun dress, it would have been perfect for the summer weather. Immediately Scully began to think of Emily, of how she never had the chance to clothe her, feed her. She only had the opportunity to care for the child when she had become severely ill. Scully had felt the grief a parent feels when a beloved child dies, yet she never had the chance to experience the joys of true parenthood. As Scully fingered the soft, pale yellow fabric, she offered up a silent prayer for the gift of motherhood. *************************************************** 6:00 Scully Apartment Mulder arrived at Scully's apartment in his classic black turtleneck, jeans and black boots. Scully couldn't help but smile when she saw him. "You are so gorgeous." she said as she took the bottle of wine from his hands. "Mmmmmm...and whatever you're cooking in there smells really good." Mulder pulled her towards him into an embrace, lowering his head to kiss her, Dana noted that he tasted like sunflower seeds and coffee. As Scully turned back towards the kitchen Mulder followed as if he was attached to her. Hands at her waist he couldn't let her go. Mulder nuzzled the soft spot where her neck met her shoulder. "I'm glad you wore this shirt, Scully. It's my favorite." He slid the neck of her shirt over and kissed her soft shoulders. "You ready for dinner, Mulder?" "Only if you promise that I get my dessert if I'm a good boy and finish all my dinner." "We'll see." "That smells so good." Mulder said as she dragged him towards the table "What are we having?" "Smoked Salmon, a salad and for dessert something sweet." Scully broke free of Mulder's hold and finished placing the last plate of food on the table. "Let's eat." *************************************************** After dinner Mulder helped Scully wash the dishes. Scully became playful and splashed Mulder with the soapy sink water. "Oh you're getting it now." Trapping her against the counter Mulder reached to the sink and pulled the sprayer from it's place. Flipping the water on full blast he held the nozzle towards Scully, and drenched her face and shirt. "Ahhh...THAT'S COLD!!" "Yeah well I know how to warm you right up." Mulder turned Scully towards him and pulled her wet form to his chest. Holding her lightly, she pulled back and asked "Are you ready for dessert?" "Mmmmm-hmmm" he replied nodding. Leading Mulder to her room, she stopped near her bed, she turned an began to take off her shirt. "Scully, wait, let me." Mulder walked towards her and reached for the hem of her shirt. Peeling the wet material from her body Scully shivered from fear and excitement. Dropping the shirt on the floor Mulder stepped back to look at Scully. Embarrassed she lowered her gaze to the floor. "Don't Scully, you're beautiful. I want you to look at me." Scully raised her eyes to meet Mulder's and saw the same thing that she was feeling. Their fear wasn't that of apprehension, but at the thought that they were finally able to take the step. Scully thought of something her mother once said to her " If a relationship doesn't move forward then it dies." This was the next logical step in their relationship. Mulder placed his hands at her hips, breaking her from her thoughts. As he pulled her body close she concentrated on the sensations he was making her feel. Mulder traced his hands up the slight curve of her back, stopping at the clasp of her bra. "Are you sure?" he asked. "I couldn't be more sure of anything, Mulder."
