LOWEN FUNERAL HOME 11:05 A.M. Part 1 / 4 Mulder stood behind Scully, listening quietly as she grieved, the sobs racking her body. He wanted to comfort her, to put his arms around her, but somehow he knew he couldn't do this because it just wasn't enough. This was something that would take time. She had just lost her sister. Melissa, her sister. She had thought about her sister often, but knew that she would never see her again and this greatly saddened her. Thanks to searching for "The Truth" she had lost her sister. She would not rest until she found justice. At least that is what she told Mulder. She knew it had to end somewhere, but where? Mulder walked up behind her and rested his hand on her shoulder. "She knew you loved her Scully." "Did she Mulder?" "I wonder sometimes. Did I tell her enough over the last few days? She was angry, she knew, but she couldn't stop letting him know how she felt. She had to let go of the grief to someone. But Mulder, he didn't deserve this. Scully knew he hadn't done nothing but help her since he learned of Melissa's shooting. She again thought of her sister. She was in Heaven now with Ahab, their father. She smiled at the thought. Both were safe.safe from "the truth, the lies, whatever one wanted to call it." As for her, she knew she would be okay. She backed up and leaned against Mulder into his chest for strength, knowing that he had enough for the both of them. He kissed the top of her head. She knew that she could let go.with his help of course. He turned her around in his arms. He kissed her lightly on the lips.just grazing the corner of her mouth. She sighed with contentment. She knew this with this man she could go on forever and be okay. "Dana, it will be okay." "I know Mulder, I know." Mulder's cell phone buzzed in the background startling them both as though they were guilty for their hug. "Yeah, Mulder." "Agent Mulder, it's me, Assistant Director Skinner." "We have a situation. I need you and Scully to meet me here in my office." "Sir, with all due respect, Scully has just lost her sister and I don't think.'The Bureau doesn't pay you to think Agent Mulder.just do your job. Now get back here to the Bureau now and bring Agent Scully with you. This has something to do with her sister." "Her sister sir?" Scully lurched forward and looked at Mulder with pleading eyes. She wondered who he was talking to. "Yes sir, we will be right there." "Mulder, who was that on the phone?" "It was Assistant Director Skinner. He wants to see us in his office right away. He says it has something to do with your sister." "My sister? Is this someone's idea of a sick joke Mulder? What does he mean?" "I don't know Scully, but we better get going.he seemed anxious to meet with both of us." FBI HEADQUARTERS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SKINNER'S OFFICE 11:50 A.M. Part 2 / 4 Come in Agent Scully, Agent Mulder. Agent Scully, I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss and I know this is a bad time, but we need to discuss something that might be of great interest to you. "Sir, I am not sure I understand. What might be of great interest to me?" "Well, I have found out someone knows that your sister may still be alive, someone who you are close to." Mulder looked wide-eyed at Skinner with great fear showing in his eyes. "What do you mean I am close to that person sir? The anger showed through her clenched teeth. She looked at Mulder, hoping that he could help her make sense out of this conversation, but all she saw was fear. He seemed to always stay calm under pressure, but this time he was no such thing. He showed fear and this was not like Mulder. Mulder looked at Scully, but said nothing. "Sir, may I have a word with you?" Mulder asked. Skinner raised from his chair and walked into the corner of the room. "Sir, what do you think you are doing?" "Agent, Mulder, she has to know the truth. She has to know that Melissa is still alive." "Sir, you can't do that. I won't allow it to happen." "I have done this to make her believe that her sister is dead so Missy and Scully will stay safe from the truth." "I am sorry Agent Mulder, but I do not agree with your theory on this. She needs to know and either you will tell her or I will." "Okay, sir, I will tell her, but let me do it in my own way." "Fine Agent Mulder, but I will be waiting to hear what happens, do you understand?" "Yes sir." "Sir, I think I deserve an explanation. I think you know who did this and I want to know now!" "Agent Mulder will explain everything you need to know Agent Scully." Scully incredulously looked at Mulder. "Did you know anything about this?", she gasped. "Scully, I." "Dammit, Mulder, did you know ANYTHING about this?" "Yes, Scully, I did." She turned to the door and walked out into the hallway slamming the door on her way out. FBI HEADQUARTERS FOX MULDER'S OFFICE IN THE BASEMENT 12:15 P.M. Part 3 / 4 "Scully.Scully, dammit Scully, wait up and at least let me explain." (Mulder running into his office) "I don't want to hear your secrets or lies!" "Scully, this is the truth, I swear!" "Save it Mulder. We are finished. The X-Files and our partnership. I never want to see you again!" "Scully!" He jerked her around to have her face him. He had never seen her so sad.she was crying. He hated it when she cried. Like today. He never knew how to make her stop crying.other than to hold her and this time it was not going to work because she wouldn't let him that close. Mulder quietly spoke in the darkness of the basement office. "Scully, I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how." "Tell me what Mulder, the secrets or the lies?" she said sounding perturbed. "Scully, how do I even start? I know you will hate me that much more when the truth comes out." "Just start from the beginning Mulder, that is the best place." Mulder paused for a second to gather his thoughts. He knew she deserved the truth, but he didn't know how to tell her. Oh, what the hell, here it goes he though. "Scully, Melissa is not dead." "What? What do you MEAN she is not dead Mulder?!" A glimmer of hope, angry and fear sparkled in her eye. "Just what I said Scully, she isn't dead." "She is at my father's house and has been for some time." "Why your father's house Mulder? Why in the HELL was she at your father's house? And furthermore, how did you know about this?" "Scully, I was the one who led you to believe that Melissa was dead." She looked at Mulder, stunned and oblivious to what she had just heard. "Why Mulder?" "I was trying to protect her and you." "No Mulder, you were trying to find your precious damn truth! That is all you care about anymore! You don't care about anyone else but yourself. That is the way it has always been. I am tired of living this kind of lie. I am leaving now! Don't try to come and find me either!" Mulder stood in the doorway watching her walk out of his life. All the while, now knowing where she was headed, but he had to stop her. Otherwise, he would loose her again. Just like he had done when Duane Barry took her to the mountaintop and the aliens had abducted her. She had refused to believe the story, but Mulder knew what the truth was and he wasn't going to stop until he had rested and found his sister. "Scully, I'm sorry! Scully, I love you!", he yelled. But she was crying again and not listening to him anymore. He ran after her as she was opening the elevator. "Scully, dammit, didn't you hear me? I said I love you. That is why I did what I did!" "I didn't want anyone in your family or you to get hurt because of my hollow personal cause." Scully stared at Mulder in amazement.trying to take in the meaning of what he had just said. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears she would have thought she would start believing in alien abductions herself! "You mean it Mulder? You really love me?" Mulder gathered her in his arms. "Yes, Scully, I have loved you from the first day you walked into my office and into the X-Files and into my life." "Mulder, I have a confession to make.I love you too." "You do?" Mulder asked in amazement also. He nuzzled her neck and kissed her eyelashes and corner of her mouth tenderly. "Let's go see my sister!" FBI HEADQUARTERS MULDER'S FATHER'S HOUSE 2:50 P.M. Part 4 / 4 The door opened. A tall nice looking man with piercing thermonuclear blue eyes stood there. "May I help you?" he asked. Scully stood and found herself in awe of this man. Ohhhh myyyy, did he ever ooze sex appeal, not like Mulder mind you, but he was VERY nice on the eyes. MY GOODNESS, had she REALLY thought about Mulder like that? Well, why the hell not, she had said she loved him didn't she? She meant it, but did he? He seemed a little skittish when she said had said it to him. Back to the thought at hand. Mulder seemed to have that affect on her. She couldn't think about anything but him lately. "Yes, is there is a Melissa Scully here please? I was told she would be here." "Sure, come in." Scully threw a side glance at the man as Mulder entered the house. Mulder eyed the man suspiciously as he walked in the door, not sure quite what to make of him. He seemed like he was one not to be trusted. Of course, Mulder had heard that statement from the very beginning of his partnership with Scully.first from Deep Throat and then X. Now it seemed as if the only person he trusted was Scully and now he wasn't sure if she could ever trust him again, especially after she learned the truth from him today. Did she really mean it when she told him she loved him today? He couldn't be sure. Mulder didn't know this man standing in front of him. He was eyeing Scully, and Mulder didn't like that. Not in the least! Scully was his! "His Scully"...now where in the hell had that come from! *Well, I told her I loved her today. I wonder if she realized I meant it?* "May I ask who you are please?" "Oh, I am sorry, I am Agent Scully, Melissa's sister, and this is Agent Mulder, my partner." (and soon to be lover she hoped). Oh, she had those thoughts again! She must stop it now! "Oh, FBI?" My name is Agent Doggett, Agent John Doggett. I was sent to guard your sister Agent Scully." "Thank you Agent Doggett. I appreciate that more than you will know." "Anytime." he said with a steely intensity in his eyes as he gazed at her. "Enough about the name formalities, I am sure you wish to see your sister. She is resting, but I can go wake her if you like." "No Agent Doggett, that won't be necessary, I know my way around the house." Agent Scully started up the stairs as Doggett watched her sashay up the steps glancing in appreciation. "Don't even think about it Agent Doggett," Mulder said. "What do you mean, Agent Mulder?" "I mean whatever you are thinking about Scully. I know what you are thinking and I DON'T like it." "You warning me off your territory Agent Mulder?" "Yes and don't you forget it either Agent "friggin" Doggett!" "I won't forget that you love her", Doggett said in surprise. He paused only for a moment taking in the thought, saying, "I trust that you know that your sister has been found also." "WHAT?" Mulder yelled. "Scully and Melissa came rushing down the steps to find out what the noise was about. Mulder, took in the moment, looking at both of the women. The women he had loved. At that moment he was stunned and remembered that Agent Doggett had just said his sister was alive. "WHERE IS SHE? WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?" "She is in the guest house on the grounds." "Mulder, what's wrong?" "It's my sister Scully, she's alive!" "I have to go see her!" Mulder ran out of the house to the guest house on the grounds to find the door open. He stared at her for what seemed the longest time before she turned her eyes toward him. "Hello Fox." "Hello Samantha." He ran to her and gathered her in his arms, fiercely hugging her, never wanting to let her go. "Fox, you are going to smother me." Mulder laughed. "Sorry, it's just been so long." "I know Fox." "So what have you been up to for the last 22 years?" "Searching for you." "What do you mean?" Sam asked. "I have made it my life's work. I am an FBI Agent Sam. It's all I have ever done and all I know." "I was so close to the truth so many times, but I never could get the evidence I needed." "Fox, did you really know our father after my abduction?" "Not really, Sam and I missed that. Things seemed to change after your were gone. They were never the same. He seemed lost.we all did. We never spoke of you after you were gone. I missed you like hell though." "Fox, there is something I need to tell you." "What Sam?" "C.G.B. Spender, the Cigarette Smoking Man, was our father. Not Bill." It took Mulder a few minutes to digest this information. "I guess that would explain SO many things." Mulder said angrily. "Like what Fox?" "Well, for one, why he never had me killed in the search for the truth." "Fox, he said he would never hurt you. At least that is what he told me. He wanted you and I to be safe when the they started the colonization. You and Agent Scully were supposed to be the life-savers of the human race." Mulder gazed intently at her trying to digest this unfathomable information. "What do you mean, life-savers of the human race?" "It still doesn't mean what he did was right! Dammit, Sam he kept you from me, our mother, our family!" "Don't you hate him for it?" "No Fox, I don't. He did it because he loved us both. In time, you will understand that. You will understand his greater purpose." "I don't think I will ever be able to understand that man or his motives. Please don't ask me to try to understand him or to forgive him either. I can't and I won't." "I understand Fox," Sam said, but in reality she didn't. Scully, Melissa and Agent Doggett appeared in the doorway. Scully sat down beside Mulder. "Mulder, are you okay," Scully asked. "Yeah I'm fine, Scully." "Mulder you don't look fine." "Dammit Scully I said I'm fine." "Okay Mulder, I'm sorry." Scully looked over to Sam and said "Welcome home." "Maybe now we can all have a nice normal sane life." she said grinning at Mulder. "Like that would ever be possible," he said grinning back at Scully and then at Sam. "Mulder I need to rest now. I am very tired." "Sure Sam, I will catch up with you later. Go rest. We have a lifetime to catch up now." As Sam walked up the steps, Melissa sat down in the chair and glanced over at Agent Doggett with a big smile on her face. Mulder took this in and wondered what was up between Agent Doggett and Scully's sister. "Hello, John.", she said and stood to nuzzle his neck. "Hello Missy." This made Mulder very angry. He looked at Scully and then Missy with a puzzled look on his face. What was going on. He was thinking "This Is Not Happening!" Scully seemed to have been taken on this as well. She wondered at that moment was up between her sister and Agent Doggett. She wanted to know, but didn't ask. "Agent Mulder, I seem to notice you have a problem with me and Missy." "No, Agent Doggett, just a little concerned. I have always been told to TRUST NO ONE." "I am betting dollars to donuts that I am correct in assuming this would include me Agent Mulder?" "Like I said, TRUST NO ONE." "For all we know you could be sent to kill one of us." Scully stood taking all of this in, really not knowing what to think or say. Samantha had started back down the stairs after resting for a while and heard this exchange of words. She was startled by his accusations. "Fox!", Samantha stated, "That is enough." "John has been nothing but kind to both Melissa and myself and I for one will not have you questioning his motives." "Okay, Sam, I'm sorry. I am just so happy to see us all together. I thought it would never happen again." "Mulder, I seemed to remember when my sister was on her deathbed you trusted me." "Mulder, I know it is hard for you to let go of the past, but you have to. You and Dana belong together. I love John.not you." Melissa said. Scully stared at Mulder, her sister and then at Agent Doggett with wide eyes. Mulder had loved her sister? When had this happened? She didn't know what was truth and what was lies now. "Mulder, what is she talking about?" "I loved your sister Scully." "She helped me through a very difficult time when you were ill. I had no one else to turn to." "What about now Mulder?" "What about us?" "I thought you said you loved me." With hesitation, Mulder said, "I do Scully." Scully knew the truth.Mulder didn't really love her. Otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated. He had just said that so she wouldn't be mad at him anymore after learning he knew the truth about Missy. She ran out of door of the guest house and did not look back. Mulder knew he had to go after her, but he needed to give her time. She needed time to think about what he knew she really needed to find out for herself. The realization that he really did love her. She needed to find this out on her own and he would let her. "Agent Mulder, if I might have a word with you." "What do you want Agent Doggett?" Mulder angrier than ever with himself. "I just needed to tell you that Agent Scully is pregnant." "I really knew her, but couldn't let on.in case you weren't really Agent Mulder. For all I knew, you could have been be an alien bounty hunter." "I understand Agent Doggett. It's a good philosophy to follow. Just like I said, Trust No One." Mulder knew at that moment what he had to do. He had known standing at Missy's "casket" earlier that morning. He had to ask Scully to marry him. If she would still have him.the jerk that he was. "Agent Doggett, thank you." "Any time Agent Mulder...just take good care of her." "I will Agent Doggett. I love her." "Oh and one more thing Agent Mulder, since we are almost family can I call you Fox?" "No Agent Doggett." "I even made my parents call me Mulder." -- Title: Loves Entertwined - Part II - See Loves Entertwined - Part I Part 1/5 MULDER'S FATHER'S HOUSE 8:30 P.M. Mulder should have worried about Samantha and Melissa, but he knew they were in good hands. He trusted Agent Doggett. After all, he was "concerned" about Scully. Mulder's thoughts drifted back to Scully as he walked out on the porch of the cottage behind the summer home his "father", Bill had left for him. He wondered where she could have taken off to. He knew he had to find her, but he couldn't bring himself to go looking. Finally, he walked a little ways on the path up to the main house when he spotted her. She was alone on the docks. He could hear her softly crying. Damn! Why was **he** the one to always make her cry? He knew he should leave her alone, but he couldn't help himself. He had to touch her and comfort her. He slowly and quietly walked up the docks so she wouldn't see him. He was finally near her again and it affected his senses and he could feel himself hard just at the thought of her standing this close to him. "Scully?" "Yes, Mulder," she said with an impatient sigh and wiped her eyes as she turned to look up at him. God, he was so handsome, she thought to herself. Why is it always **him** who makes me cry? Not sure what the answer to that question was, she stared deeply into his eyes trying to silently communicate with him, to **hear** what he was thinking and it usually worked, but tonight she couldn't communicate with him silently and that fact scared her as she turned away. "Scully, I'm sorry if I have upset you," as he spoke to her back. "I'm fine Mulder. Just go away and leave me alone." "Scully, you are not fine. You have been crying again. Damn, Scully, talk to me! That's all I am asking of you." "Mulder we have already talked too much." He reached up and grabbed her around her belly. This startled her but she did not move away and sank further into his cocooned arms. He was not really sure why he had done that, but she seemed to be enjoying and snuggling closer so he didn't move. He thought maybe this was a way to tell her that he knew about the baby and what information Agent Doggett had given to him. "Mulder, I....I really don't know how to tell you this." "Just tell me Scully, what is it?" "Mulder, I am pregnant. I am having a hard time believing it myself. I mean the invitro didn't work or least that is what I was told." "Scully, I know. Agent Doggett told me." She turned in his arms in surprise. She was unsure of how to read his silent communicable expression again. "Mulder, what do you think about this?" she asked hesitantly. Mulder smiled and looked down at her. "Well, I am not really sure Scully." "What do you mean you aren't sure Mulder?" Scully asked exasperated with him and turned quickly out of his embrace and stared back out into the water. "Scully, I am not sure because I need you to answer something for me." "What Mulder?" "Scully, I need to know that the "miracle" that we have created together in the most natural union is going to be a part of my life as well?" Scully looked at him in puzzlement. "Of course, Mulder. I wouldn't even begin of dreaming of keeping you away from our son or daughter." He smiled again as she had said it, **OUR** son or daughter. "Scully, there is something else I need to know, but lets go back to the main house. I think Melissa and John need their privacy right now." Scully agreed and they began walking back down the docks and up the path to the house. When they reached the steps, Mulder placed his hand in the small of her back and guided her up the steps. They looked at each other and felt the electricity. It was like the static electromagnetic charges Mulder was always describing in his weird theories and cases. This scared him, but it was a good kind of scared, if there was such a thing Mulder thought. He immediately retracted his hand as they reached the door and he opened it, and guided her into the foyer of the grand entrance. "Mulder, you didn't tell me you were so well off", Scully said jokingly. As Mulder turned to shut the door, Scully turned to him. "Scully, I don't like to talk about the money. Knowing what I thought my father had done to Samantha, I couldn't take his money. I didn't even want it!" "I'm sorry Mulder. I was kidding.", she said smiling. Suddenly, the room became fraught with tension as they stared into the other's eyes. Somehow Mulder had shut and locked the door, though she didn't know how or when and she was leaning against it. He had her penned in with both arms and he was merely inches from her lips. It was almost as if they were breathing for each other. She looked up into his hooded eyes and found something frightening. A deep passion possibly? Maybe love, probably not. She backed closer to the door, but found that she couldn't become one with the door and so she just stared at him hoping he would go away, but he didn't. He seemed to read the same frightened expression in her eyes. "Scully, I need the answer to one more question." "Yes, Mulder, what is it?", she breathed, closing her eyes. Suddenly, she felt him softly and gently across her lips. She sucked in air unable to get a good breath. She started responding to him increasing the pressure of the kiss and she felt him grin on her lips. She slipped her arms around his waist underneath his coat and laid her head on his chest and hugged him close. She fit in that spot perfectly. It was as if their bodies were made for one another. "Soul Mates", he thought to himself. He knew she had forgiven him again. That kiss had told him all he needed to know for now. He would ask her soon enough to be his wife. Hell, he thought to himself, maybe Agent Doggett and Melissa and he and Scully could all be married at the same time. "Mulder, what else did you need to know?" "Nothing Scully. It was nothing." He extricated himself from her grasp around his waist and pulled her chin up. He was going to kiss her again and at that moment she thought to herself . "Mulder, you asked earlier about being part of the baby's life." "Yes, Scully, but there is so much more that I want." She gazed at his eyes, unsure of what he meant by that statement. After all the times it had been so easy to read each other, she wasn't feeling that oneness with him. "What do you mean so much more Mulder?" "Scully, I said it was nothing." "Come here." He reached for her and sat her down on his lap on the couch. She could feel him growing hard beneath her as he reached for the top buttons on her blouse. He was rubbing her arms and putting little soft kisses on her nose, cheeks, forehead, eyelids, eyelashes and earlobes. Unable to control her own increasing desire, she untied the tie around his neck and tried to open buttons, but the buttons had a mind of their own. "Mulder, I can't get these damn buttons undone down at the bottom of this shirt," she said as she began kissing his neck and further on down his chest taking a nipple in her mouth and sucking it gently then harder. "Geez Scully, you're killing me here." She looked up at him and smiled as he helped her with the buttons on his shirt. After finally freeing them she pulled his shirt up out of his pants and stopped him as he started to take off his belt. He stared at her wondering why she stopped. "Scully?" "Do we need to slow down?" "No Mulder we don't need to slow down." "I want to try something." "Okay," he thought wondering what she was up to. "Can you stand up for me Mulder." "Yeah." As he stood, he saw her get down on her knees. He wondered what she was doing when suddenly he felt himself growing hard and hot....and damn he thought was that her teeth near his thighs?! Slowly she slipped the zipper in her mouth and pulled down ever so slightly, showing his growing bulge. She pulled him out and opened her mouth and took him in deep. She lightly cupped his balls and made him jump. She was pleased with the control she had over him. She had no idea she could make him jump like that and it was exhilarating to know that it was she, Dana Scully, that did this to Fox Mulder....her and only her. No one else but her. "God, Scullleee. Please sto...... stop! I want you to come with me." She crawled up him like a smiling Cheshire cat. He finally got his senses back long enough to shed his clothes and help discard the rest of hers. She was laying across the bed when he joined her. He started kissing her lips again, slowly, sensuously, probing his tongue into her mouth trying to taste her and himself. One of his hands found its way down to her breast as he played with it making it hard and sucked the other. "No Mulder, you will take away milk for the baby." He grinned and moved down the bed. He thought to himself turn about is fair play as he probed the recesses between her dampened thighs with his fingers. He finally took them out and replaced his fingers with his nose and tongue. Softly rubbing her clit with his nose and sucking on her folds with his tongue. He did this for several minutes, each time Scully growing impatient tugging at his hair and pushing his nose and tongue further up in her and he smiled into her knowing it would be **magical** when they finally came together again after those few short months he had been gone. It seemed like an eternity to him. Finally, unable to hold herself for him, she begged. "Mulder, please...." "Please what, Scully?", he asked with a hooded expression. "Please make love to me again." He smiled lazily as he crawled up to join her and placed one of his fingers into her mouth and she sucked on it taking her own juices into her mouth. She positioned herself below him and he entered her in one short fast stroke. He pulled in and out, teasing her and rubbing her clit with his fingers in the process. She finally arched up to meet him, crying out his name. "Mulder, yesssss....yesssss.....yesssss! Finally, he speeded up his pace and she was encouraging him, nipping at his neck and scratching her nails into his back. "Oh Scullleee....oh yeah....yeah like that!! I'm gonna come!" "Hold on Mulder!" She pulled back a little and he down at her wondering what she was doing and suddenly he remembered. She remembered that he had wanted them to come together. She remembered the small things. That is why he was in love **HIS** Dana. Suddenly their pace and urge increased and they screamed each others name in the darkness hoping no one in the cottage could hear them, even though it was unlikely. Both spent, they laid tangled in the other's limbs, legs around legs, arms around arms, heads close together. "Scully, are you awake?" She smiled against his chest. "Yes, Mulder, I'm awake." "You know when I said it was nothing that I needed to know, well I lied." "I do need to know something else." "What Mulder?" He untangled himself from her arms and legs and moved from the bed over to the drawer of his grandmother's dresser. He pulled out a little box with a bow on it and kneeled down "Mulder what are you doing? What is this?" "Please open it Scully." She took the box from his hand and opened it. What was staring back at her shocked her. "Mulder does this mean what I think it means?" "Yes Scully, it does." "Will you make me, William Fox Mulder, **The Searcher for The Truth That Is Out There** the happiest man on the planet? Will you marry me Scully?" She stared back up at the ring and down again at him and she cried. "Scully, why are you crying? Do you not want this? Do you not want to raise **OUR** baby together and let this child have my name? "Oh Mulder, no! I am crying because I am so happy. I never thought you would ask me." "So does that mean yes?" "Oh yes, Mulder, yes, yes, yes!", she exclaimed as she threw her hands around his neck. He took the box from her hand and removed the ring and placed it upon her finger. She carefully looked at it. It was his grandmother's ring. A family heirloom. Yes, she thought this man REALLY does love me. MEANWHILE..... Part 2/5 PATH FROM COTTAGE HOUSE TO MAIN HOUSE 10:30 P.M. Samantha had gone back up to the house in the escort of John hours ago. They had heard the cries of Scully and Mulder together and knew what was taking place. They both smiled at each other. John quietly escorted her to her room and she closed the door giving Mulder and Scully their privacy. They didn't even know anyone was here. John slowly eased out the door and back went back down the path and stopped at the docks. Missy was standing there with her arms wrapped around her. He came behind her and placed his strong solid arms around her for warmth. She snuggled closer to him and leaned her head against his chest. She had been like another woman he knew. She had "beliefs" of spiritual notions and people made fun of her for that. He learned long ago from Agent Reyes that "beliefs" like that were nothing to be made fun of. She had helped him learn the truth of what happened to his son. It had been hard for him, but Agent Reyes was a good agent and a good partner and helped him get past it. Missy turned to him and noticed the far away look in his eyes. She smiled up at him and placed er hand on his chest. "John, is anything wrong?" "No Missy. Just thinking about an old partner." "Want to tell me about it?" "Maybe some day, just not now" "Oh, I understand," she said as she looked down at the ground. He noticed her tense up and he reached down and placed a finger under her chin pulling her gaze up to meet his. "Missy, it is nothing bad I promise. I just can't give you that part of me right now. It is too painful." "No really, John, I do understand. You will share it with me in your own time." Glad she finally eased the tension he reached down and softly kissed her lips and she responded in kind increasing the pressure. They finally parted unable to breath. They walked hand in hand back to the cottage talking about the days events, Scully and her sister seeing each other for the first time in years, Mulder seeing his sister again. It was a great day they thought. The only thing that could top it off would be seeing Mulder and Scully getting married. Missy thought about her sister and how much she had missed her friendship during that time. Suddenly in the bushes, they heard a noise beside the window as they were going into the cottage. "Missy, get in the house and lock the doors," he said as he pulled his gun from his holster. He cautiously walked around the side of the house and suddenly felt a sharp blow to his head and was knocked unconscious from behind. Missy hollered out to him, but she heard nothing. She took the baseball bat that Charlie had left from his early childhood years from the closet. She slowly opened the front door and walked around the side of the house and just about tripped over him. She screamed, frozen in fear, no knowing what to do. At that time she felt someone put something over her mouth and she fought, but slowly slipped into the darkness. Part 3/5 ABANDONED WAREHOUSE FRONT ROOM SOMEWHERE ON THE DOCKS IN MASSACHUSETTES 11:45 P.M. She awoke not knowing where she was at. She slowly took a look at her surroundings. She was in some kind of abandoned warehouse building. She was tied to a chair, not tight, but not loose either. Suddenly some came up behind her and yanked at her hair. She cried out and turned face to face with a man, whom she had never seen before. There was something about his eyes that frightened her. Those **green intense** eyes. "Sorry, to spoil the little party at the house last night." "Who are you? Where am I? What have you done with John?" "Slow down there." You don't need to know me." I can't tell you where you are and John is in "safe keeping" as are Mulder and Scully. "What have you done with them damn you!?" "You will see them soon enough." "Right now I need you do to something for me. Can you do something for me?" "What?", she cried. "I need you to calm down so I can ask you a question." "Where is Samantha Mulder?" "I don't know what you are talking about?" He pulled at her hair slightly harder this time with a gleam in his eyes. "I am only going to ask you this one more time. Where is Samantha Mulder?" "I don't know!" "Oh, but I think you do." "Either you start telling me where she is at or I will start killing agents and of course, with John as your favorite I could start with him first and do it to make it look like an **accident** and no one would ever know." "Okay, she cried. The last time I saw her she was with John and they were heading back to the main house." "You're lying! She isn't there." "That is where they were going, I promise!" "Well just sit tight and get comfortable because you are going to be here a while." "Can I see John?" "No." "Please, just once!" "Okay, but not for very long." He raised up from her and stalked away quietly. Within minutes John was thrown at her feet. He looked a little beaten, but none worse for the wear. He had his hands bound behind him and his ankles chained. The man stood behind him with a gun pointed to his head. "Do NOT turn and look at me!" "John, are you okay?" "Yes Missy, I'm fine," he said. The man lowered the gun and turned away. In just a whisper Missy spoke, "John, where are Scully and Mulder?" "He said he had them too!" "I don't know sweetheart. Just do what he says, I don't want you to get hurt." "What is he wanting to know?" "He asked me if I knew where Samantha was." "Did you tell him?" "No, John, I didn't." "Tell him if he asks again! I want you to be safe." "Okay John, I will." The man turned back around to them and violently lifted John to his feet. John tried to jerk out of his grasp and ended up falling over Missy on the floor. After scuffling with him, the man had regained his senses and pulled him up again and took him out of the room. Missy was alone again. she thought. Suddenly he came bounding back into the room. "Okay, you know he is okay now. Tell me where the hell is Samantha Mulder." She paused and took a deep breath drawing in the strength of her thoughts of John and his **intensely** thermonuclear blue eyes, "The last time I saw her she was going up to the main house with John to go to bed. She was supposed to be in a room at the main house." "I am going to ask you ONE MORE TIME!", he said as he struck her face, "WHERE IS SAMANTHA MULDER?" "I am not lying to you! That is the last time I saw her!" He was growing tired of her. He was going to put her back in the cell with John. Maybe he could get some information out of Scully, among a few other things. He grabbed her up, blind-folded her, stuck a gun in her back telling her not to turn around and took her into a back room. She heard the rattling of keys and what sounded like a cell open up. Part 4/5 ABANDONED WAREHOUSE BACK ROOM WITH CELL SOMEWHERE ON THE DOCKS IN MASSACHUSETTES 1:00 A.M. She was shoved in and fell into someone's arms, whose she wasn't sure until she felt they come around her and envelop her with strength and warmness. She knew that these arms belonged to John. He reached down and pulled the blind-fold off and pulled her to him and placed her close to his chest, hugging her tightly, stroking her hair, laying smooth gentle kisses on her hair and forehead. She couldn't seem to get close enough to him. "John, who is this man?" "I don't know sweetheart, but we have to find a way out of here." "I need to try to get to Agent Mulder and Agent Scully if I can." "John, I have an idea." "What Missy?" "Maybe I can distract him so you can grab his gun." "How?" "I could tell him that I am interested in helping him and get **close** to him." "No Missy!" "He could hurt you if he found out you were lying to him. I can't let that happen." "John, I don't see any other way out of this!" "No! We will find another way!" "John, I , okay. We will find another way," she said as he silenced her with a gentle kiss, tugging at her bottom lip trying to allow himself more access. Suddenly he felt her hands all over him, rubbing his shoulders, collar bone and chest, slowly and maddeningly driving him to a place he hadn't realized ever existed, at least not with Agent Reyes. He began to lift her shirt above her head. He stopped realizing they would not be comfortable on the ground, but she persisted in helping him remove the shirt grabbing his hands back to its hem and helping him lift it above her head. He stood there and took in her beauty. He began laying kisses across her chest, all the while freeing her breasts from their confining trap unhooking each clasp slowly. She laid her head back to allow him further access to her neck and breasts. He lowered his head and took a nipple in his mouth while his hands found the other breast and gently rubbed and teased it until it grew hard. He could hear her moaning his name softly and this just drew him to in. He was suddenly on his knees and undoing her pants. He pulled the pants and panties down in one swift move. He laid out the clothes and his jacket on the floor and laid her down on top of them. She grabbed his hair as he kissed down her stomach until he had finally reached down to the juncture between her thighs. He probed his tongue softly in and out of her mound causing her to scream his name. "John, I need you with me. Please." He suddenly felt like he had too many clothes on, constricting him. He raised from her body and shed his clothes and joined her and entered her hard causing her to pull back. "I am so sorry sweetheart, did I hurt you?", he whispered. "No John, I need this. Please make love to me." "Sweetheart, are you sure?", trying to pull out of her. "Yes John, I haven't been more sure of anything in my life." He suddenly pushed himself a little deeper, then out, then in until she was trying to reach his crescendo. He called out her name in the darkness and finally they were complete. He stayed inside her as she laid on top of him, kissing her everywhere. "John, thank you. I love you." "I love you too sweetheart." Suddenly, they heard a scream and were apart from each other trying to figure out what was happening. It was too dark in the room and they were unable to see anything. "John we have to find a way out. You have to warn Mulder and my sister." "I know Missy, I am trying to think of a way." Part 5/5 ABANDONED WAREHOUSE FRONT ROOM SOMEWHERE ON THE DOCKS IN MASSACHUSETTES 1:30 A.M. Scully sit in the chair tied with her arms behind her. She stared contemptuously at Krycek. "What the hell you do want Krycek?" "I want you to tell me where Samantha Mulder is!" "I don't know." "Oh God, you and your sister are the same way!" "I am growing tired of both of you. "Now where the hell is she?" "Dammit Krycek, the last time I saw her she was at the cottage. What more do you want from me!?" "Oh, you know what I want Scully!" She saw it in his eyes and it frightened her. "Stay away from me Krycek! Mulder will kill you! Agent Doggett will kill you!" "You think I am afraid of them?", he laughed incredulously, slowly walking toward her. "Krycek, please don't do this." "Shut up Scully, you know you want it." "No!" He slapped her across her cheek causing her to fall back and off the chair. She winced when he was down close to her face and she could feel his breath on her. He suddenly ripped open her blouse and unclasped her bra from behind. She was writhing trying to kick or hit him with any part of her body to stop him from this, but he was too strong. He penned her down and started licking her breasts and rubbing them. She cried, unable to stop him, trying to scream but he had covered her mouth. She tried to push him away with her pelvis, but this encouraged him further. He reached down and pulled up her skirt and pulled down her panties. **Oh God, she thought, he is really going to do this! Mulder, where are you! I need you! Please help me!** She heard his zipper and felt something stab into her. He was suddenly moving up and down oblivious to her cries to stop, fulfilling his own desire. He was like a mad animal in heat! Suddenly as quick as it started it was over. He pulled himself away and pulled her skirt down and put her back up in the chair. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Was it good for you too?" She cried that much harder, knowing that it wasn't Mulder, who had just done this. Suddenly the door opened to the building. She looked up with her glassy glazed eyes and who should be standing there but CSM and Agent Reyes. TO BE CONTINUED!! ++++++++++++++++++ Title: Loves Entertwined - Part III - See Loves Entertwined - Parts I & II ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Part 1 / 8 ABANDONED WAREHOUSE FRONT ROOM SOMEWHERE ON THE DOCKS IN MASSACHUSETTES 1:30 A.M. Scully could not believe her eyes. She had to find a way out of this, but she couldn’t scream. Krycek had placed a gag in her mouth so no one could hear her cries for help when he done that awful thing. she thought. . As she had this thought, the CSM lit up a cigarette and walked toward her. He took her face in his hand and turned her toward the dim light above. Agent Reyes stayed behind and said nothing. “Agent Scully, do you know where Samantha Mulder is?”, he asked. “Get your damn hands off of me you sick bastard, and for the last damn time, NO, I do not know where she is!” He looked at her closely noticing her clothes in disarray and torn. His gaze flicked to Krycek then to Agent Reyes. He walked back toward Agent Reyes, whispered something and she came walking toward me. She proceeded around to the back of the chair and suddenly she spoke. “Agent Scully, I am going to untie you know. Please do not try anything stupid, I don’t want to have to shoot you.” “What the hell are you doing with him?” “Are you working for him?” “What have you done with Mulder, my sister and Agent Doggett?” “I’m sorry Agent Scully, I can’t tell you that.” “Did Krycek “hurt” you?” “Like you would care you bitch”, she said sobbing. “I can’t believe John loved you.” “How long have you been working for him?, she asked as she gazed over at CSM holding Krycek by his shirt collar. She couldn’t make out what they were saying, but she didn’t care. The only thing she cared about was getting to Mulder, her sister and Agent Doggett. “I thought I told you to just ask her sister and not to mess with her”, his voice tightened and infuriatingly controlled. “I couldn’t help myself.” “I have a good mind to shoot you right here you son-of-a-bitch.” “Do you have any idea what problems this will cause? Do you!?” “Mulder will be after you and I both with a vengeance and so will Skinner.” “They won’t rest.” “I hope you haven’t put the project in danger to satisfy your own selfish wants and desires!” “Yeah, but don’t forget, I hold the key to bring every damn one of them down.” “What are you talking about?” “I can control Skinner’s every move with the nanonytes.” “The first time they start coming into any information about us or the project all I gotta do is flick my little finger and they will have to stop otherwise it will kill Skinner and I don’t think any of them will risk him. They are all too close.” “Good point, but we still can’t be too sure.” “I have had Agent Reyes take her to get her cleaned up and taken care of to hide this! And I swear if I you ever do anything like this again, I will kill you myself.” CSM walked away and “Good luck old man, what you don’t know won’t hurt ya.” Part 2 / 8 ABANDONED WAREHOUSE SMALL SIDE ROOM SOMEWHERE ON THE DOCKS IN MASSACHUSETTES 2:00 A.M. Somewhere in the dark room, Mulder finally awoke. He couldn’t remember what happened, but he knew things were not right. He had been with Scully and was finally happy. He had to find a way out. He looked around the room and found no access until he looked up. Air-conditioning vent. He looked around the room and finally found a crate to stand on so he could reach the vent. He made his way through the vent and to the outside roof. It looked as though he had been taken to some kind of warehouse. He had to find the others. He climbed cautiously down the roof. As he turned the corner of the warehouse he noticed Agent Reyes and Scully coming out the door and getting into a car. He reached for his gun, but remembered he didn’t have one. He slowly proceeded behind them and grabbed Agent Reyes from behind. Scully screamed and jumped. Shhh..shhh he said. “It’s me Scully.” She turned to him and he noticed her face had been beaten. He whirled Agent Reyes around and started asking her questions. “What have you done to her? Where the hell are you taking her?” She started to speak, but stood dead still. “Agent Mulder, I suggest you take your hands off her and get in the car with Agent Scully, myself and Agent Reyes. He slowly turned around to find CSM standing behind him with a gun pointed at him. “You black-lunged son-of-a-bitch. What the hell do you want from us?” “That’s simple Agent Mulder, I just want your sister.” “We need her for the project.” “You have already had her for 22 years. You can’t have her anymore!” The CSM turned around and put the gun to Mulder’s back and forced him in the car. Scully knew if they didn’t get out now they weren’t going to. She turned to Agent Reyes and asked “Why did you feel the need to have close ties with this man?” “This will kill John.” “He loved you, you know.” “I know, and I couldn’t help him. I am in this project up to my neck. They took his son, as part of the project. Just like they took Mulder’s sister, Samantha. They were returned, but John doesn’t know about his son yet. He doesn’t even know about my part in his son’s disappearance and I don’t intend for him to.” Part 3 / 8 STATE ROUTE 87 2:30 A.M. Finally, the CSM had thought Scully heard enough and pushed her into the car, shut the door and made Agent Reyes drive to Sky Mountain and go to the place where Scully had first been abducted, Ascend to the Stars. Mulder anxiously looked at Scully in the front seat and she returned his **Mulder panic face** in return and mouthed “I love you Mulder.” He smiled at her to give her reassurance that they would find a way out of this. When they finally reached the top, Agent Reyes looked at Mulder. “Please get out of the car slowly.” CSM was around to the passenger’s side of the car lifting Scully out of the front seat, holding her tightly by the arm. “Agent Reyes, take him up to the peak.” “Where the hell are you taking him?” “Mulder, Mulder!” He fought her but remembered she was the one with a gun. They reached the peak and suddenly there were bright lights in the sky and Scully screamed. “Let me go, let me go!” She ran to the top only to find him gone with Agent Reyes left there standing by herself. “Where did he go?!” She pointed up to the sky. “They took him. He is part of the project just like you, Samantha and your sister.” “My sister?”, she asked with fearfulness in her eyes. “Yes, your sister. Remember when you thought she was dead after being shot in the hospital?” “Yes?” She was abducted as part of the project as John will be in the next day or two. We are trying to create alien-human hybrids with the best, smartest people on the planet.” “What do you mean?” “Remember the Roswell UFO Crash Agent Mulder always talks about?” “Yes, I do. He talks about it constantly.” “Well, you know that part of the story, but what you don’t know is that everyone who has ever worked in the X-Files Division of the FBI has been chosen as well as some of their family members.” “What the hell do you mean chosen?” “What she means Agent Scully is that you are the ones who will save the human race.” “You wanted Samantha, why did you take Mulder?” “We still will need Samantha, make no mistake about that, but it was Mulder’s time to go also.” “What about me?” “You have already been. Your part in the project is done.” “Agent Doggett and Melissa will be next.” Suddenly, a car with bright lights came up. “Go see who that is and get rid of them.” “Why did you find the need to tell me this now? To clear your conscious?” “Sir, it just Krycek and the other hostages.” “Krycek I thought I told you to leave the others there until we were ready.” “Sir I have found Samantha Mulder and thought you would want to know.” “Well bring her over and let’s get everyone going.” Scully struggled to free herself to warn her sister and Agent Doggett. She saw them as they came up to the peak. Her sister looked strangely at peace. She didn’t know whether it was because she had been drugged or because she was with Agent Doggett, but she looked almost happy. Suddenly the bright light returned and she was let go by the CSM and found Mulder lying on the ground. He was in obviously pain. As the skeptic, she could not believe what she was seeing hovering above her. A spaceship. It is not possible she thought. All those years he had been right, Mulder was actually not lying to her. There were little green men, or gray men as Mulder would say. Suddenly the ship was gone and Agent Doggett, Missy and Samantha were gone as well. Mulder turned to find CSM, Agent Reyes and Krycek escaping in the car. “Scully, we have to follow them.” “How Mulder, we have no transportation!” Suddenly he remember the sky tram. It would take them more than an hour to get down by car, but by the sky tram they could be down in minutes with back-up agents ready to apprehend them. They reached the sky tram and called the operator. There was no answer. “Damn Scully, Krycek knocked out all communications on the way up here.” “What are we going to do.” Suddenly, the tram started to move. Scully picked her cell phone out of her pocket and dialed a number. “Sir, this is Agent Scully. I am requesting permission for back-up at State Route 87 at a place called Ascend to the Stars.” “What is going on up there Agent Scully?” “Where is Agent Doggett?” I have been trying to reach you, he or Agent Mulder all day.” “Sir, it’s a long story and I will explain when we get back. Please sir just send back-up.” “Okay Agent Scully.” “Bye sir.” She turned to look at Mulder as they descended down the mountain. She hugged him tightly as the tears squeezed out of her eyes. “Why do you think they let us go after telling us about the entire project Mulder?” “Because he knows we have no physical proof or evidence to back up our theory, that’s why Scully.” “Damn, I would have thought Skinner would have known better than to take Samantha and Melissa to my father’s house.” “He should have put them in a more secure place.” They reached the bottom of the mountain and the back-up was in place with snipers and every government agency known to man. “Man, Skinner is determined to stop CSM isn’t he?” Suddenly the car came down the road and noticed the road block. Just as they were about to stop, a bright light flashed atop the mountain and blinded everyone allowing the car to escape. “No dammit, he can’t have gotten away.” “I am sorry Mulder, but he did, but we will find him again!” Unable to stop worrying about what they wound find at the top, Mulder and Scully sent some of the other FBI back-up agents after the car and went to the mountain peak. All of the abductees were standing on top, including Max Fenig, his sister, Missy, John, Cassandra Spender and Teresa Hoese. All of them. Mulder couldn’t believe his eyes. Could the project finally have succeeded he wondered? Part 4 / 8 SPECIAL AGENT FOX MULDER’S OFFICE 10:13 A.M. She walked in the office and quietly closed the door. “Good morning Scully.” “Good morning Mulder.” Scully noticed Agent Doggett standing in the back looking over a case file. “Good morning Agent Doggett.” He nodded, “Agent Scully.” With all the formalities over, Mulder spoke. “Skinner wants us all in his office in a few minutes. I just got off the phone with him."” “I wonder what he wants?” “I don’t know, but he said it was important so I suggest we get a move on.” Scully grinned at Mulder, “A little bit anxious to see Skinner, Mulder? That’s so unlike you.” “Yeah, I thought so too Agent Scully and I wonder why.”, Agent Doggett smiled that 1000 watt smile she liked so much. “Okay you two, let’s go!” Part 5 / 8 SPECIAL AGENT WALTER SKINNER’S OFFICE 10:30 A.M. After procuring their coffee for the morning, they made their way to his office door. He was standing out talking to Kimberly. “Yeah, I made plans for all of us to go to the mountain top again.” “Oh, come in agents.” The three of them filed into his office and found a seat. “I just wanted to bring to your attention some new facts in the case of what happened on the mountain top at Ascend to the Stars and your kidnappings from Agent Mulder’s father’s home in Massachusetts.” “Sir, what are you talking about?” Scully asked. “Agent Scully do you not remember any of this?” “Sir I don’t know what your are talking about. Please clue me in.” “Sir, I am as puzzled as she is.” Skinner glanced over to Mulder with a “look” on his face. “Agent Mulder, do you remember any of what happened to you?” “A little sir, but I chose not to share it with Scully or Agent Doggett just yet.” Skinner turned back to Scully and spoke softly. “Agent Scully and Agent Doggett, I believe we have found physical evidence to support Agent Mulder’s claims of Extraterrestria l Biological Entities.” Scully and Doggett sat dumbfounded, unable to speak or didn’t even know what to say. Finally, Scully turned to Mulder and spoke, “Mulder, did you know of this proof?” “No Scully, not until recently. My contact showed up again and led me to this.” He handed her a thick envelope containing many documents. She opened it carefully not sure what to believe anymore. Inside the envelope contained pictures of evidence that they had found over the years of working on the X-Files, the photos of that first E.B.E. in Bellfleur, Oregon, the nasal implant from Ray Soames’ nose and the countless “real” photos of UFO’s. According to the note with the pictures, it was all contained in the basement of the Pentegon. “Who is your contact Mulder?” “Scully, if I told you that it would put you in danger and I can’t do it.” “Dammit, Agent Mulder, tell us who you contact is.” “Why, what purpose will it serve?” “We can finally put this to rest.” “How can we put this to rest? They have experimented on all of us! Just to keep the human race from being annihilated and kept it from the World?” “I’m sorry Scully, but I love you to much to risk you life.” “Dammit, Mulder, there is more you don’t know!” The door flew open and they all turned to find Missy standing in the doorway. “John, please don’t ask him that. I don’t want to lose you either.” “Just let it be.” “Bring the people responsible to justice and be done with this conspiracy.” “I couldn’t agree more, Melissa.”, Skinner said. They all stood to leave the office. Part 6 / 8 FBI HEADQUARTERS HALLWAY 10:45 A.M. Walking hand in hand with Melissa he spoke, “Hey, Agent Scully, I have a lead on a case we have been working on. I think I am going to go follow it up. It is just an hour’s drive from here. Want to join me?” “No Agent Doggett, I have to talk to Mulder.” “I told him I would have dinner with him tonight at my place.” “Oh, okay Agent Scully, I will let you know what I find in the morning. Bye, and have fun!” Part 7 / 8 SPECIAL AGENT FOX MULDER’S OFFICE 11:00 A.M. Yeah, some fun this is going to be she thought. She didn’t want to tell Mulder the part he didn’t **know** about yet. The part that she wanted to forget herself, the fact that she had been accosted by Krycek! Oh God, how she wanted to forget. She went downstairs to the office and he was already gone. She smiled to herself, he is one anxious little devil she thought. As she straightened up her desk, she heard a noise in the back room. She pulled her gun out of her holster and went to investigate. Mulder wasn’t gone. He was standing in the back of the room. He turned toward her. “Scully, what are you doing?” “Sorry Mulder, I didn’t realize you were still here.” “What did you mean when you said there was more I didn’t know about yet?” “Mulder, I , I don’t know if I can tell you this.” “Scully, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.” “You have agreed to become my wife and that is all I care about. I plan on resigning from the X-Files and trying to move back to the VCU.” “Mulder, I don’t know if I can marry you now.” “What!? What do you mean you can’t marry me now?!”, he shouted. “Mulder I am starting to remember some of the last couple of nights. We were taken to a warehouse and Missy and John were locked in a back room and you were taken somewhere in the same building. Krycek tried to get me to tell him where Samantha was and I wouldn’t, so……….” “So what Scully?!” “Mulder, he forced himself on me!”, she sobbed holding tightly to his shirt. “Oh God Scully”, he said as he pulled her to his chest and let her cling tightly to his waist. “Scully, I am going to kill him!” “Mulder, you don’t even know where he is!” Finally, he spoke after a few moments of silence. “Scully, I can’t quit now, you know that. I have to find him and make him pay for what he did to you.” “I know Mulder, and I can’t quit either. What does that mean for us?” “I don’t know whether the Bureau will allow us to be married and continue to work on the X-Files together.” “Scully, they don’t have to know. We can keep it secret until we find him.” “Mulder, it has been 8 years and we still don’t know where they are! What makes you think we are going to find them now and if we can keep this kind of secret for that many more years?!” “I don’t know Scully, but I know I can’t live without you by my side, as my partner, in my life and in my bed.” “Me either, Mulder, I love you.” “I love you too Scully.” Part 8 / 8 SPECIAL AGENT FOX MULDER’S OFFICE TWO YEARS LATER Agent Doggett and Skinner came in the door and Scully and Mulder were standing beside his desk discussing a case. “Good morning Sir, Agent Doggett.” “Did you find out anything about that case I sent you on?” “Yeah, I did.” He grinned as he talked. She wondered what he, Skinner and Mulder were up to now. Ever since they had all met at Mulder’s summer home that night they seemed to get along great. They had even played basketball a few times together and been to cookouts at the Scully household. And, of course, her mother adored them, as Mulder and Doggett were in love her daughters. Scully grinned at both of them. “What are you two up to?” “Yeah, we would like to know that ourselves.” They turned and found Missy and Samantha standing in the doorway. Mulder looked up at Agent Doggett and spoke. “I guess we have no choice but to tell them about your “little assignment” do we?” “Nah, we guess not”, Doggett and Skinner laughed together. “Well, Agent Scully, sir, sis and sis-in-law, pack your bags because we are all going to Hawaii.” “Mulder, what for?” “Skinner here has a little “arrangement” for Agent Doggett and Missy and you and myself. And of course you get to come too sis!” “What kind of arrangement Mulder?” “Hey, when is everyone’s favorite date in here?” “What are you talking about sir?”, Agent Scully asked. “Hey, that’s enough sir.” “We do want to surprise everyone.” “Oh, by the way, pack a nice dress Samantha.” “Scully and Melissa, bring something white!” Missy and Scully stared at each other and grinned. Skinner looked to Scully and Missy, “Well Agent Doggett and Agent Mulder have told me that you would all be married at the same time.” “I just figured it wouldn’t hurt to have the Bureau foot the bill considering all the time you have wasted because we didn’t believe you.” “Yeah, we sure put Kersh in his place!” Mulder grinned, “I bet he is scrubbing toilets now.” “I wouldn’t doubt it Director Skinner!”, Scully said. “Hey, John, it is alright if I call you John isn’t it?” “Yeah, but only if I can call you Fox?” “Sure why the hell not, we are almost family.” They turned to go out the door of the office. “Let’s go home Deputy Director Scully.” “That has a nice ring too it doesn’t it?” Scully spoke up and said, “Yeah, but it sounds much nicer to be called “Deputy Director Mulder.” FINIS
