Fox and Dana: The Kissing Game FBI Headquarters: AD Skinner's Office- Wednesday... Dana Scully was trying her best to pay attention to the Assistant Director Skinner who was going over the new case he wanted her and Mulder to investigate. These last few days had been heaven for her. Finally letting her love free for Fox Mulder had done wonders for her. Every morning Dana woke up to find the man she truly loved with his arms wrapped around her. She would wake him with a kiss that he would return. Pulling her closer to him, Fox would beg for a few more minutes of sleep. Dana always gave in and cuddled into his warmth. She would warn him though that he had ten minutes and that was that... same Old Dana but with a new twist. Keeping a professional face, Scully turned her eyes to Mulder who seemed not to be having difficulty listening to Skinner and who showed great interest in what the Director had to say. When Skinner turned his back on the agents, Mulder blew a kiss to Scully. She turned her eyes away from him quickly. Scully had warned Mulder that when they were at the office or anywhere near the building, they were not to show any affection to one another. Being professional, they both knew the policies of the Bureau on agents having affairs with each other. Reassignment was inevitable, something Scully dreaded after the many months of background checks that she and Mulder were forced to do before the X-Files were returned to them. Their love could once again jeopardize their cause. These last few days had been difficult no thanks to Fox, who took every opportunity to break their agreement... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Two Days Ago... Both Mulder and Scully dreaded their meeting with Skinner their first day back to work after proclaiming their love for each other. Everything had gone wrong on the case they'd been working on for the past few days. (OK, punching the deputy out was a mistake...). Neither one was in the mood for a chew-out, except on each other. As they drove to work together, both of them were lost in their own thoughts. As she drove the car, Scully mentally prepared by repeating the name 'Mulder' over and over again. After having had the freedom of calling each other by their first names, Dana Scully worried that she might slip in front of Skinner or any of the other agents. ' Remember he is Mulder at work... ' Scully reminded herself. Fox Mulder could not keep his eyes off the skirt Scully was wearing. It seemed shorter than he had remembered it. If she could just pull it up a bit... She seemed to have read his mind as Scully repositioned her body, causing the skirt to move up, revealing more of her lovely thighs. Fox smiled, he suddenly thought about what she had done to him yesterday... ... Looking at her with his sleepy eyes, Fox could not believe what Dana had done to him in his sleep. It was wonderful! It was mind-blowing! Oh, God, this woman was killing him!! When he came, he felt his whole body shiver. Never before had any woman done this to him... in his sleep! Lifting his head up, Fox tried to see her with his blurry vision. (Oh, God, I can't see!! She fuckin' blinded me!! ) Dana's face slowly came clear to him. Fox watched her clean her lips with her fingertips, sucking her fingers clean. " Oh, Fox, you are so tasty. " " Really? " It was the only thing he could think of to say to her. His mind was so numbed that he couldn't think straight. " So tasty... " Fox watched her disappear, and felt her tongue on his penis again, licking him all around. It was too much for him. His partner, Dana Scully, the so-called Ice Queen, was driving him completely insane... ... The next thing he remembered was Dana screaming at him to wake up. " Fox!! Wake up!! FOX!! " " What..? " Fox stared at her as she sat in front of his computer. They had forgotten the time and now it was after 4:00 A.M. They had slept the day away. " We haven't worked on the report for Skinner. You know he'll want it this morning!! Get up and help me!! " " Tell him the dog ate it... " Fox curled himself back to sleep but felt a hard smack on his butt. He jumped and stared at Dana who had both her hands on her hips. Her face was hard and firm. She hit him!! He liked it!! He liked the anger in her face!! Fox wanted her to hit him again!! " Fox William Mulder, you get up this instant and help me with the report! YOU were the one who hit the deputy!! " " Yes, ma'am... " and immediately got to his feet... As they entered the building, Scully was trying too hard to be her normal professional self. Walking with her head held higher than usual, her lips curled down, Scully tried her best to put on the 'Ice Queen' look everyone expected of her. It was hard, though. How had she done it before? Mulder, on the other hand, did not care what people thought of him, or how he looked that morning. His steps were light, he had a huge smile, and the look of a man who'd gotten some this weekend. Luckily for them, no one paid any attention to the Twosome as they went about their business. Many of their co-workers believed that the two agents had been lovers for years. Waiting for the elevator, Mulder could not resist a chance to have fun with Scully. When the elevator door opened, Mulder pretended to trip, and grabbed hold of Scully's butt. She whirled around at him in disbelief for what he had done! They hadn't even been in the building for more than five minutes and already he was breaking their agreement. Mulder immediately played dumb. " Gee, Scully, I'm sorry, the floor is slippery. Hey buddy, watch your step, the floor is slippery, too much wax, huh? " He warned the guy who followed in after him. Scully could not yell at him or kill him with too many witnesses around, so she bit her tongue. Instead, she did the next best thing and pretended not to see his foot as she stepped on it, hard. Mulder let out a yelp and his eyes nearly popped out of their slot. He stared right at her, surprised. " Gee, Mulder, I'm sorry. I slipped. I hope you are all right? " She gave him a superior look. Mulder grinned at her, and mouthed in silence, 'Let the games begin...' The elevator ride was more fun than Mulder had expected. As soon as the last person got off the elevator, leaving him and Scully alone, Mulder leaned into her for a kiss. Scully blocked him with her briefcase. " No, Mulder!! " " Please, Sculleee, just one? " He pointed to his puckered lips, as he gave her the sad puppy look. Her eyes rolled up, her teeth gripped. " I can't believe you?! You just can't do one thing I ask... Do you want them to reassign me, again?! " " They can never take you away from me... " Mulder leaned in close and whispered in her ear. " ... Dana... " Why could she not stay mad at this guy? Before the elevator door opened to their floor, Scully gave him the kiss and ran out before Mulder could react. Game time was over when they entered the office. The first phone call they received was from Skinner's office, ordering them to report to the AD immediately. " Hey, Scully, " Mulder turned himself around patting his butt. " Do you want to play with this before Skinner bites it off? " " No, thank you, he can have that, so long as I can have this... " She grabbed his crotch and squeezed hard. Before Mulder could react, Scully ran out of the office only to hear him moaning behind her. It turned out that Skinner was easier on them then they had expected. He reprimanded Mulder for his behavior, but no charges were to be filed. The deputy admitted he provoked Mulder into the fight. As they walked out of Skinner's office, Scully was relieved that everything was fine, but was still upset with herself for giving in to Mulder's games. She would correct the situation, even if it meant physical harm to him. As they entered the elevator, Mulder tripped again... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Monday Night: Dana's Apartment... That night, they explored each other's bodies. Fox discovered quite a few things about his lovely partner. She was ticklish, and was definitely a redhead. There was not one part of her body he did not want to lick or eat. His tongue fitted quite well in her other lips. Dana, too, loved to lick and taste. There wasn't one part of Fox that wasn't appetizing. She especially loved the birthmark on his right cheek. She sucked on it, bit around it, wanting so badly to eat it. Until she found his nose. Whatever possessed her that night, she wanted it. She sucked on it, stuck the tip of her tongue into his nostrils. Fox had to back away. It was ticklish, bizarre and very arousing. She finished him off, like she did on Sunday, and this time he was awake for it. When he came in her mouth, Dana lifted herself over him with her head partly back. What was left in her mouth drizzled onto her chin and down her neck. At first, Fox was a bit offended. Didn't she like it? She did yesterday... suddenly he witnessed Dana rubbing his semen and her salvia all over her face like it was facial cream, down her neck and a little over her breasts. She brought her body next to him wanting to kiss him, but he backed away. " What's the matter, Fox? Don't you want to taste how good you are..? " xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tuesday Night: Dana's Apartment... Neither of them could remember what video was playing on the television. They were locked together, kissing each other. Dana lay on top of as Fox rested his head on two pillows, bringing him closer to her. They weren't interested in moving too fast. Just hugging and kissing was satisfying for them that night... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wednesday: Present Time... After Skinner dismissed them, Scully rolled her eyes up and lightly bit her bottom lip. Waiting and wondering what stunt Mulder might pull next made her feel on edge. Already, he had cornered her at the photocopying machine near their office, kissing her passionately on the lips and all over her exposed neck. Scully wanted to get mad at him, but his kisses so melted her that she responded with the same fire as he. The assignment Skinner had given them required them to make a trip out to Vermont. Scully was glad they needed to leave immediately. The sooner they were out of here, the better she would feel about playing Mulder's games. Scully loved Mulder dearly, but the fear of their love being discovered by the Bureau hung over her constantly. She wished she felt more carefree, like Fox was. He had never been afraid of authority. He always met the situation head on when it came to getting his way. Scully preferred not to have to deal with anything, but when she had no choice, she could take on anything they threw at her. " Ahh, Vermont, Scully, " Mulder whispered to her. " If we can get things done in time, maybe we can share a motel room to ourselves for the weekend... " " Mulder... I would like that, but first things first. You know that... " " Sculleee, I wish you would relax, you didn't hear what I said... " He looked at her with concern. Not liking the way he was staring at her, Scully felt the urge to cry. However, she swallowed it as they entered the elevator. This time, Mulder did not trip on anything. The moment they were alone, Scully wrapped her arms around Mulder's waist, resting her head on his chest. " I'm sorry, Fox, I don't mean to push you away... I just don't want them to separate us. After all we have been through... but I will always choose you over the X-Files... " " They won't separate us, Dana. They have tried but it never works. You will always come first for me as well... " He was about to kiss her when the elevator opened to their floor. Suddenly Scully felt like playing. She gave Mulder a quick smack on the lips and ran out with him following her. Hardly anyone came down to the basement. No one was there to witness the game Scully had started. She turned the corner and leaned against the wall, waiting for Mulder. Hearing him coming toward her, Scully popped out in front of him, kissed his chin, and lightly punched him in the stomach. She was off and running before he could grab her. " Can't get away from me, Scully!! I've got longer legs than you!! " Her head start was losing ground when she made it to the office. Scully barely had time to hide behind his desk, laughing when he came charging in, closing and locking the door behind him. " You're not going anywhere, Red... " Mulder made a dash to his desk, trying to cut her off at each corner. Dana was just too short and quick for him. She was able to avoid his grabby hands. Finally he caught her from behind, pulling her in. They wrestled into his chair, laughing. Dana's laughter was like music to Fox. He enjoyed the fact that he was making her happy and carefree. Not like the professional and all-business lady he had met so long ago and whom he would always love. These last few days, he had discovered the other Dana, the one he always knew was there. Sometimes it took awhile to get her to come out, but he loved the sheer joy of helping her emerge. " You're a bad girl, Dana. You know what I'm going to do to you? " " No, what? " She laughed, not minding Fox's silly talk. " I'm going to call you 'Dana' in front of Skinner... " Dana screamed with laughter, throwing her body back against his, ready for the challenge. " Oh, yeah? You know what I'm going to do to you? " " No, what? " " I'm going to call you 'Fox' in front of the Lone Gunmen... " " Aw, that's nothing... " " OK, how about this... I'll kiss Frohike right in front of you... " " NOOO!! " " ... With tongue!! " " You better not!! " He started tickling her around the neck, his recent discovery of Dana's weak spot from the other night. " No, Fox!! NO!! " " Say you won't kiss Frohike!! Say it!! " " OK!! OK!! I won't kiss Frohike... " " Good... " He stopped tickling her. " I'll kiss Langly instead!! " " Why you... " He started tickling her again. She was laughing so hard, that she couldn't breathe. " OK!! OK!! I'll only kiss you!! I promise!! " " Only me? " " Only you... " " Prove it... " Dana repositioned herself on his lap, putting her hands on his cheeks. She kissed him so passionately that he felt his head spinning. " Only you, Fox... " Dana said as she pulled away. He looked down at her blouse and started playing with the first button that popped opened. " OOPS!! " Fox took the second one that also popped opened, as did the third, the fourth... until her opened blouse revealed her beautiful silky skin. Her lovely breasts were held together by the lace bra which Fox unhooked from the front and pushed away from her chest. As Fox massaged one of her already hard nipples with his thumb, Dana's breathing became heavy, her eyes closed, her mouth open as she let out a gasp. " F-Fox, no. We're in the office... " The only answer he had for her was to take the nipple he was playing with into his mouth. He started sucking, pulling, licking, and lightly biting her. Dana threw her head back, reaching for his hair and raking her fingers through it. Fox wanted to stay where he was. She seemed to be enjoying it as much as he was. He then decided it was time to give Dana the kind of pleasure as she had given him these last few days. Fox held on to her nipple, lightly pulling it back with him as he moved away from her breast. He pulled it as far as he could go, hoping to only cause a small amount of pain. He let go and it bounced back in place. Dana let out a squeal. With his tongue, he licked between her breasts, moving up to her neck, across her gold chain, past the gold cross. Fox had the urge to put it in his mouth, but he didn't want to offend Dana's beliefs. He ran his tongue farther up onto her chin, biting and pulling the skin. " That's enough, " Dana whispered and took his hands, guiding them around her body. From the front to the back, circling around her chest, neck, and face, she licked his hands every time she guided them near her mouth. She set him free when he moved up her arms, and removed her bra, blouse and jacket in one swoop, tossing then aside into a pile of cases. Fox gently guided her off his lap, felt from behind her waist and unzipped her skirt. He brought it down, bringing along her underwear and nylons. (What? No slip? Bad girl...) He let her stand there for a moment, enjoying the view of her beautiful body. How many times had Fox fantasized of this? In the old office, before it was burned down, he had dreamed of taking her here. On his desk, away from anywhere in the office he had done it with Diana Fowley when they were together. ' Funny... ' He thought, ' I wonder why we never did it on the desk? ' Thanks to the fire all of that was gone. None of the things Diana Fowley and Jeffrey Spender kept in the new office were here to remind him of anything. He made a mental note never to mention to Dana what he and Diana did besides investigating cases. This was a way to reclaim what was rightly theirs, washing away the memories by doing it for the first time here. They had been playing with each other these last few days. Playtime was over. Fox took his hand and rubbed her between her legs. She was already wet. As he slipped his fingers inside, caressing her whole, Dana wiggled under him, her whole body tightening and shaking. She reached out and grabbed his shoulders as the shockwaves surged through her body. " Please, Fox... no more, no... " He did not listen to her as his fingers continued moving in and out, reaching for that special spot. " ... no more... " " What do you want? " " You... " He gently took his fingers out. Her smell was all over his fingers as his erection bulged in his pants. He brought his fingers to his mouth, smelling and licking her in. " God, Dana, you taste so good... " She took his hand and did the same thing. " You're right, almost as good as you... " She bit his fingers, lightly. Tired of the games, Dana reached over to his belt, removed it and smacked it against the desk, causing Fox to jump. When she ordered him to stand up, he quickly obeyed. The roughness of her voice added to his excitement. Dana, as well could not conceal her desire and rushed to remove his pants, pulling the zipper too quickly. Fox let out a yelp of pain. " Easy, Dana!! " " Nothing is easy with you, Fox... next time, your pants come off first... " " You mean there will be a next time..? " " As soon as we do the first time... " She eased the zipper down more carefully, pulling his boxers over his erect penis. Bringing both the pants and boxers down quickly, Dana took his hardened penis into her hand, rubbing it up and down with her thumb. " I'm tired of these games, Fox... " He answered her with a swoop of his arm across his desk. Pencils, pens, cases, and his favorite coffee mug went flying all over the place. He grabbed her and lifted her onto his desk, her legs spread wide, ready to take him in. Fox had planned to take Dana easily and slowly so he could enjoy the moment with her, but neither one of them could wait much longer. Fox thrust into her deeply and Dana screamed out in pleasure. He moved in and out, rocking with each thrust. He grabbed her hair from the side as Dana gripped his neck, pulling him closer to her. The desk shook with each thrust. Any items left on the desk were knocked over by the movement or by the lovers as they wildly rode each other. Licking and kissing her face, Fox continued rocking and thrusting as he brought them both to climax. When he could not hold on any longer, he let himself come inside of her. His whole body shook. His eyes rolled back, and his mouth hung open as he tried to scream her name. From afar, he could hear her calling him. " FOX!! FOX!! FOX!! " He collapsed on top of her, both resting, their sweat combining, their breathing almost matching. Fox was exhausted and wanted to sleep in Dana's arms. Not knowing how much time had passed, Dana lightly tapped Fox on his shoulder, signaling she wanted to get up. He did not want to leave her, but did as she asked. Sliding out of her, he fell back into his chair. Still laying on her back, Dana felt her whole body sing. She had never felt this alive before with any other man, With Fox Mulder, not only did she find her equal in intelligence, love and devotion, but he had one hell of a dick that filled her to no end. Dana sat up on the desk, wiping the sweat away from her face. She studied her Fox. He tilted the chair as far back as he could, his head tossed back, his mouth still open as he breathed through it. She let out a silent laugh, when she noticed he was still wearing his shirt, tie and jacket. Below the shirt, where the buttons and holes met, his still throbbing and hardened penis saluted upwards. Reality was returning and Dana looked around for her clothes. " Fox, get dress! We still have to go to Vermont... FOX!!! " " ... ok, vermont... ok, gimme a minute, mommy... " He loved Dana, but Fox wished she would leave him alone for a while. Quickly getting dressed, Dana realized that someone could find them. The building was full of people, too many witnesses. What the hell were they thinking?! Playing games was one thing, but to have sex in the office... Their first time... So mind-blowing... So... Dana should just turn in her reassignment papers to Skinner now! The smell of sex was all over her. Dana wanted to go to the bathroom and wash up. As she opened the door, Dana turned back to her lover. " FOX!! Wake up and get dressed before someone comes down here!! I'm going to the bathroom. Be dressed and ready to go... FOX!! " " ready... go... gotta ya... " He did not move from his seat. Dana rolled her eyes up and walked out of the office, closing the door behind her. The bathrooms were not far from the office. Scully was the only one who used the ladies' room. She first went into the stall to relieve herself. Dana was angry for not being sensible about her actions. Playing games was one thing, but to have sex in the office was a big mistake. It didn't help that they were both so careless. Neither of them used any kind of protection. Protection... Who was Dana kidding..? Just as the events that occurred these last several months had left more questions than answers about the invasion of their world by alien beings she did not believe in, so, too, had the events left her with doubts about her own body. She lived with the belief that everything had been taken from her. The children she could never have, and her only daughter, Emily were gone. Her body was an empty vessel, she believed for so long... ... But it happened. In Kansas, right after the dance, Dana had woken to find her pajama bottoms stained in blood. The discomfort of her body reminded her of her menstrual cycle. Saying nothing to Mulder, Scully went against her better judgment and did not visit her doctor to find out the cause. The discharge had lasted no more than four days. Just like it was before... before the abduction. Nothing had happened as three months passed, until Dana once more woke to find her pajama bottoms soiled. Her body ached with discomfort. Again, Dana refused to visit her doctor and suffered in silence. She even refused to give into her own theories, fearing what she hoped for would not be true. Dana chose to live in denial. A denial that now faced her as Dana Scully cried... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On their trip to Vermont, Mulder and Scully discussed the case with each other. Once in a while, Scully would think about how she found Mulder in the office when she returned from the bathroom... So worried that Fox would notice that she had been crying, Dana was unprepared for the sight in front of her when she opened the door to the office. Still in the same position she had left him in, with his pants off, Fox Mulder had fallen asleep in his chair. When she woke him up, Fox whined the whole time she was cleaning and redressing him. It always amazed her how an intelligent man, Oxford educated, would act like a two-year-old when he wasn't getting his way with her. Dana had to drag him by the hand out of the office as he complained the whole way to the elevator and the ride up. When other agents entered the elevator, a few floors later, he shut up right away. When they drove away from the building and headed back to their apartments to pack, he started whining again. He was hungry, he was tired, he didn't want to go, and she was mean for making him go with her. Rolling her eyes again as she kept on driving, Dana knew he would not shut up until they arrived at the airport. There would be too many people around for him to act childishly... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Once they started working on the case, it was easy for the two of them to slip back into their 'working' mode. Mulder and Scully proved themselves to be a team. But a new lesson was to be learned on this case: Not to take work related arguments personally. When Scully would not agree with Mulder on his speculation, he stormed out of the motel room to continue the investigation without her. Scully remained behind, stewing over the argument they had had, cursing his name to the heavens above. Scully needed to remind herself not to take the fight as a personal insult. She had to remember that this was a professional argument, and that she had many of these with Mulder over the years. Yet, in a matter of few days, things had changed for them. With new feelings being explored, any angry outburst could be read incorrectly by the heart. It took the mind to know the difference, and it was something she was going to have to work on. After composing herself, Scully reviewed the material they had gathered since they had arrived. She was checking and rechecking any errors or items they might have missed when Scully came across some information that confirmed some of the things Mulder had brought up in their discussion. She immediately called him to share what she had found. Once they exchanged ideas over the phone there was a moment of silence between them. Mulder spoke up first. " Dana, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't mean any of the things I said... " " Fox, don't ever censor yourself because of me. The day you or I do that, we can never work as a team, either in our professional or personal lives. If things are to work out with us, we have to learn the difference. Believe me, I know that now. " " Uh, I know that we are working now, but can I still tell you that I love you? " " You can tell me anytime, anyplace, except not inside or outside the FBI building... " " Aww, Scullee... " " I love you, Fox, I'll see you in awhile... " xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A few Days Later: Evening... As soon as they had entered her apartment, Dana couldn't wait to take a shower and wash away the hours of work they had just put in. Neither could Fox, who was ready to jump into the shower with her. " Best way to save money on your water bill, Dana... " She smiled, and took his arm, pulling him in. With the sponge, Dana washed him all over, making him fresh like springtime. " My turn. " Fox took the sponge from her. Towering over her, he gave the sponge a tight squeeze, causing a large amount of water and soap to shower down on the back of her neck. " Hey!! " She smacked him on the rump. " Do it right or I'll kick you out of here!! " " All right, all right... " He smiled as he lathered up the sponge with more soap. Starting at her face, Fox washed behind her ears and neck. He left small bubbles on the tip of her nose and Dana blew them away. Bending down to reach the lower part of her body, Fox took the sponge to her most private area. As he washed her, Fox stuck two fingers in, making her jump. " Will you stop it??!! I want to get clean!! " Dana smacked him on the back of his shoulder, then gave him a dirty look, sticking her bottom lip out at him. She couldn't hold it, though, and started laughing. " OK... " He gave her the hurt little boy look. " ... but when I'm done, I'm going to show you some tricks I know that you'll need another shower for... " " Tricks? Who taught you any tricks, I'd like to... no, never mind, I don't want to know. " " Why? Are you afraid of getting jealous? " " Nooo, I hate to think that the only place you receive any education is from that video collection of yours... " " Home education is the best. Next time, I'll bring some of my videos over... " " Oh, I can't wait... " Taking her by the shoulders, Fox guided Dana to turn around so he could wash her back. When she turned, Fox caught sight of her tattoo. Fox had seen it a few times now, but it still fascinated him. He never said anything about it to Dana, but his fingers would trace its design whenever he saw at it. Once again, he placed his fingertips on the head of the snake, tracing along its body to the end of its tail. The tattoo itself he did not dislike, but the memory of its creation disturbed him. Sensing the discomfort, Dana tried to turn to him, but he stopped her. " No, I haven't washed your back, yet... " With the sponge, he started washing her shoulder blades and all around her back until he came upon the tattoo again. As before, he circled the snake from the head to its tail, this time with the sponge. " Did I ever tell you about a group called, 'The Millennium', Dana? " Feeling the warm splashes from the shower-head, Dana answered him. " Yes, I do remember you mentioning them and I remember the material you gave me to read. Interesting group... I'm surprise we haven't encountered them, yet. " " Maybe, we never will... They use the snake design like your tattoo as a symbol or mascot, whatever you want to call it... " Dana finally turned around, looking into his eyes. " Fox, do you want me to get rid of the tattoo? " " No... I like the tattoo... I just wish I could get rid of the memory... " She looked at him. Sometimes Fox could be such a sad man. Holding on to things that needed to be let go. She didn't feel there was much for her to say. Lifting her eyebrows, Dana smiled at him. " Hey, I thought you were going to show me some tricks... " When they were done with their shower, Fox turned on the television as Dana went into the kitchen to make ice tea. Lying on the couch when she handed him his drink, Dana placed hers down on the coffee table as Fox grabbed her by the waist. Pulling her closer to him, he kissed her face all over. " Six years, Dana, six years to make up for... You know what I'm going to do to you? I'm going to foul you up in every corner in this apartment and in mine as well... " " You're such a romantic talker, Fox... " " That's why the women love me... " " You know that mothers don't count... " " My mother doesn't love me... " " Why do you say that? " Fox was quiet for a moment, sorry now he had made the comment. He didn't want to make the evening a downer, but Dana waited for him to answer. " I don't know I just do... " " When was the last time you talked to her..? " " I don't want to talk about this anymore, Dana, can we drop it? " " OK... " She knew better than to push him. It was best to let him move at his own pace. They were quiet for a while, watching the movie Fox had on. Dana's mind wandered, thinking of what had happened to her in the bathroom at work a few days ago. Living in denial for the past few months, Dana could no longer hide her suspicions and hopes. " Fox? " He had just got into the movie and was enjoying it, ( Gee, now she wants to talk...). " What, Dana? " Lowering her head, Dana tried to put her thoughts together. She knew he would be upset with her, just as she was with herself. " When we were in Kansas... " Dana suddenly saw the image of Sheila Fontaine kissing Fox square on the lips... she shook it off. It was distracting her from what she wanted to discuss. " ... I had a period... " " What..?!! " Fox brought his body up. His face showed his surprise and shock. " A period... you were menstruating..? Are you sure..? What did your doctor tell you..? Why didn't you tell me this before..?!! " " I have not seen my doctor... " Hearing that shocked him, for Fox knew that Dana Scully was a person who treated any condition with seriousness. He couldn't get away from her nagging whenever he felt ill. For Dana not to go to the doctor left him speechless. " ... Just before Christmas, I had another one... I haven't had one since... I know I should see my doctor, but I'm afraid... " " Afraid..? Dana, this is serious... you're bleeding... you could be... " " And what if it might not be?! Maybe, Fox... it could be for one reason only... " " Dana, you were tested... " " ... AND TESTS CAN BE WRONG!!! " Dana pulled away from him. " If there is one thing I have learned by being with you, Fox... is that things aren't always as they seem... Yes, I was told I could not have children... that my ova were removed!! I lost everything... I lost Emily!! What if this is nothing but a lie? A lie to keep me in place... A lie not to give me any hope... a lie like everything else... " " If it is a lie... then we need to find out the truth... Dana... you need to see your doctor... have tests run... just to be sure... Dana, I want it to be true... " " ... So do I... " xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FBI Headquarters Parking Lot: The Next Day... Dana Scully pulled into her parking space. She had dropped Fox Mulder off at his apartment before coming to work. She also stopped and picked up breakfast for them. Toast, oranges, bananas, grapefruit... she even gave in and bought Fox his favorite: an egg sandwich with cheese. She was about to get out of her car, when a voice spoke to her. " How did you get to work? The scenic route? " Scully jumped and turned to face the voice. "MULDER!! You scared the wits out of me!! How did you beat me to work? " " Hey, I don't take the long way, pretty lady, " He puckered up for a kiss, but Scully pulled away, giving him the look. " Mr. Mulder, I thought we had agreed not to do this here anymore... " " Did I say that? You must have gotten it out of me during the flames of passion..." Mulder went over to the passenger side of the car, knocking at the window to be let in. He slid in, giving her that smile she always loved. " I missed not coming in to work with you, today. How about you drive us out of this parking lot and we'll pretend we came to work together and drive back in. " " No way, buster, you had your chance. I told you I would wait for you... " Scully lifted the bag containing their breakfast and handed it to him. " I bought you your favorite, 'Clog My Arteries' sandwich... " " Ooo, I love you, too, babe. Come on, Dana, could I have one kiss before we go in, please..? " He gave her the begging look with his hands folded together. Scully shook her head. " I just can't believe you. You never give up... " " And you know I won't... Please, Danaaaa? I have already checked the parking lot, three times. It's just you and meee... " Looking around for herself, Dana did not see anyone nearby, not even the parking attendants. " OK, one kiss, but no tongue or sex!! " " That's OK, we'll save that for the janitor's closet... " They both looked around one more time then joined together in a kiss. This time, Dana broke the promise and stuck her tongue into Fox's mouth. The kiss brought their passion surging forward as it had done before. They wrapped their arms around each other, fighting with their tongues, pushing their lips tighter to each other. They would have kept on going until they both heard the knock on the glass. Suddenly jumping at what they saw, Fox hit his head on the roof of the car, Dana's eyes nearly popped out. Staring back at the two of them was AD Skinner. His face, as always, was hard as a rock and almost unreadable. His lips curled down, his eyes stared at them like stone. " Agent Mulder, Agent Scully, I expect to see both of you in my office, immediately. " He then walked away. " Shit!! Shit!! Shit!! " Fox cursed at himself. "SHIT!!! " " I told you, I told you, we shouldn't be doing this here!! " Scully got out of the car and slammed the door hard. " Come on!! Let's just get this over with!! " Scully wondered if she had enough warm clothes to survive in Alaska as she walked to the elevator with Mulder right behind her. When they arrived to Skinner's office, they were sent in immediately. They didn't go to their basement office first to drop off their personal items, but instead they left their belongings in the waiting room with Skinner's secretary. Already at his desk working, Skinner directed the two agents to their seats. He continued to do some work, making Mulder and Scully sweat a bit. Scully prayed that Mulder would not make any hand-off remarks to Skinner. Mulder prayed (which was rare) he wouldn't make any hand-off remarks to Skinner. Skinner finally lowered his pen as he looked at each of them. His face was still hard as a rock. Mulder was rarely afraid of the man, but he was afraid for Scully that Skinner might do something to her. If anything happened to Dana, he would put up one hell of a fight for her. Scully stared back at the AD, fearing for Mulder. If Skinner tried to do anything to him, she would put up one heck of a fight for Fox. The stone man finally spoke. " Agents, on the record, you are both aware of the Bureau's policy on relationships between their agents. It is an rule that is taken seriously, and reassignments will be enforced. Now, off the record, I would appreciate if you two would keep your personal lives away from the building, your office, your fieldwork, and your working hours. If your personal lives begin to affect your ability to perform your work assignments, then I will have no choice but to recommend reassignments. Do I make myself clear, Agents? " " Yes, sir... " Mulder and Scully answered at the same time. " Good, I expect your report from Vermont on my desk before the end of the day. That is all, Agents... " They got up quickly as Scully thanked Skinner. They gathered up their stuff and headed to the elevator. Mulder behaved himself the rest of the day. Skinner returned to his work, smiling. He always knew those two would one day admit their feelings for each other. These past few months, he had watched their relationship grow more strong and carefree, a team effort between them during the most difficult time of their careers. He had noticed it right away last Monday, when he had them in his office. Agent Scully was glowing. Mulder was chipper. He trusted his words would have an effect on them. Walter Skinner would keep an eye on them, and protect them as best as he could... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dana's Apartment: Evening- Two Weeks Later... Resting in Fox Mulder's arms, Dana Scully was alive. The news from her stunned doctor had brought new meaning to her, a New Hope for the future. What was once told to her was now proven to be a lie. Several tests were done over to confirm what Dana knew in her heart. She was fertile. Though her cycle was irregular, medicine would correct it. Dana could have children. Most of all, she could have Fox's children. She had dreamed it so many times, but it was no longer a dream. " This is what you want, Dana..? " Fox asked her. " More than anything... " The future held no certainties, but life still continued. Dana Scully dreamed of the future that would be there for their children... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Few Months Ago: Somewhere In The United States... With a simple command on the keyboard, Dana Scully's reproduction system was reactivated. The metal implant in the back of her neck replied that the instructions were received. It was only a matter of time before her system would be normal again. With a flick of the switch, a man stepped out of the room and walked down an empty hallway... The End... continues in Fox And Dana: Mothers Feedback is welcome... agentsinlove@yahoo.com
