Summary: Mulder and Scully's relationship developes, i don't want to spoil it but you won't regret reading it. msr but in a realistic way, not that is story ever would happen but you'll be able to picture it happening. let's get this show on the road -------------- Friday 4:05 Mindlessly starting at the road, Scully's mind focused on the day's pervious events. Or perhappes I should say the lack there of, work could not be anymore dull or regimented if it tried. Christmas time in D.C. could leave you very hollow feeling dispite her family allows being there she felt so alone. they didn't know how they made her feel comforted and isolated all at once. But on the bright side she was on her way home, to her lonely cold apartment. The binker turned on and she pulled into a parking lot on Vine and 56th. Not her usual stop. She got out of the car and pressed lock. She walked into a place called "Royal Oak" and tried to evaluate her actions while she slowly walked in. It was a bar. A rather classy bar too, leather booths, purple walls, and a clear glass bar. The place was a medium mingaling pace she sat down at the bar and ordered a club soda. "Miss" suprised Scully looked up. "Is that all your having or can i buy you a drink". A man in his late twenties smiled and a waited her answer. "Sure whatever your having". He waved his hand and a purple wine apeared infront of her. He was diffenately good looking medium brown hair, healthy, well diffined, and charming. They talked over an hour about her job, life, family, and there interests. It turned out he was a local archatect designing anything from clubs to libraries. And a bottle threw the purple liquid was convinced she was in love or at leasted deeply attracked. He wanted exactly what she did . -------- Saterday 5:40 am Unknown residence < what have i done.> Scully left quietly picking up her few clothing items and leaving. She could remember everything that happened that night but fortonatly remembered where she parked. The man's apartment was a block away from the bar and more importantly the parking lot that contained her car. ------------- one week later Monday 7:05 am work Mulder stode into work at his desk he found a pile of mail. "See what happens when I take the weekend off Scully" he turned around to laugh with Scully amosted excited to see her again. He hadn't even spoke to her all weekend. He turned to an empty desk. This was unusual consitering that she was always on time and now that they worked in a different place she was always the first there. Always. He examined her desk the computer was turned on. Rushing to his office he rounded the corner and pushed over his patner. "Scully. Oh jeeze sorry" he try to help her up extending his hand. "Mulder. I um ah aa" she run back into the room she had just left. He perpared to open the door and saw the Ladies sign printed on it, followed by the sounds of puking. "You ok in there" scilence and more sounds. "Are you ok Scully". He pushed the door open alittle more. "Fine" "I'll be alright" he stepped back. She exited hair alittle messy but still very beautiful. "I'm quezzy that's all" He looked at her strangly and glided her by the small of her back. "Do you think it's the flu?" he looked concerned. She had to love the way he looked down at her concerned like a boy who's puppy was sick. "I don't know" "You want to go home" he inquired. She just nodded. "Can I take you or do you got it ok" "I'll be fine don't worry" " thanks Mulder" an hour later Mulder looked up from his desk the phone was ringing on Scully's desk. It was her cell phone "hello " "hello can i speak to Dana" "no she's not here. who is this?" "Jack why who are you?" "Mulder, wait who is this?" " Oh she spoke of you. Look she left in a rush I have a few of her things so if you could tell her I called this is the only number of hers i have, oh wait mine is 555-7895 that's 5 5 5 7 8 9 5" "yeah ok fine by" Mulder hung up ignoring the guy still chanting off his telephone number. Worried he left work. < who was this guy> Jelously surged through him and though he knew he had no right he cared, perhappes even more than he should ---------- He arrived at Scully's apartment in fashionable time She unlocked the door promptly. "Hey how you doin" "Oh fine, just a sudden thing came over me"He extended the phone to her. "Oh thanks". "I've been over the reports a couple of times and found something unusual" "Who's Jack"he blurted out. "Jack?" Releif sweeped Mulder. "Oh Jack. Yeah why you saw him" what! "No he called" "called how did he get my number?Oh I must have given it to him" she started rubbing her head trying to remember."What did he say?" she asked not really wanting to know. "He said you left your cloths at his house" a complete lie but he judged her reaction. "OH." Her eyes opened wider. " Well you see he's my a cusine and I went to his house and i got dirty and had to change my shirt and a so it's there at his apartment in ah and that's what happened" "So thanks for the phone" "He said he wants to see you again" Mulder felt hurt and Scully felt like trash hurting the only man she was ment for. From: Perfect624 Subject: more than this (2/2) ------------- She remembered him leaving and how she just wanted to cry and scream at the same time. Tomarrow will be better she promissed herself. But she knew betterhe had hurt him but why. That's when it struck her they were more than partners that line had been crossed along time ago. But what were they friends, partners, soul mates nothing fit she left her apartment mad at herself and headed to his apartment. --------- Mulder's apartment 5:27 knocking at the door. Scully thoughts trailed and pulled open the door using her set of keys. she entered and comforted herself in the smell of Mulders apartment. She lifted a shirt left on the couch and drew it to her face. "That's mine. If you don't mind" "Mulder you scared me" "You scare me. I don't even know who you are." His tone was raised as he but up his defense "I didn't mean to, it just happened. I'm sorry" "Don't be we aren't anything to eath other" "Yes we are" she stated with conviction. She softened and drew near him "yes we are". He stepped closer and brushed back her hair. "Don't you want something more than this?" her arm surveyed the room. "I want you" he pulled her closer and looked in her. "So do I" she lost herself in his eyes. They kissed. There lips met warm and true. Like nothing either had known. Once they parted they looked at each other in disbief. Scully closed her eyes once and Mulder kissed her neck her chest and ferther. She held his head and drew him in smellin his hair. They held each other all night, wondering what came next. ------------------------ Work 6:45 am Mulder looked around again in the office. And began to walk to the bathroom he still could Smell Scully on his skin. She left an hour before they reported for work, today on an assignment in D.C. He put his ear up to the bathroom. Scully stood behind him and just took in the sight for a moment before coughing "Ah UM" "Oh Scully there you are" a small smile crept on her mouth. As she turned to walk away. "So I take it you feel better" "Well actually I didn't feel all that great about 20 minutes ago. I must have the flu" she looked down. "You should get that checked out" "Ok doctor" they signed out and left to investagate a case. ------------------ 7:50pm Mulder's apartment Mulder turned off his T.V. and walked toward the fridge. A sound from the door came through to his ears, someone was crying. He opened the door on it's chain and there Scully sat in tears staring at his door. Mulder rushed to get the door unlocked and ran to her. She sat small with her black coat rapped around her tears streaming down her eye's. "What's wrong? Are you hurt, I'M CALLING A DOCTOR" he ran back in and the followed. "HELLO 911 I HAVE AN OFFICER.....D..O..W..N" she touched his hand and put down the phone on the receiver. "Fox I'm pergnant" wait what'd she say? "But we never......" "I know it's not " "Mine" he looked at her. " But I though you couldn't" his eyebrows continued the scentence "Well I don't understand it either" she started to cry again. He hugged her "Well congradulations" said in a disappointed tone "No the doctor said I can't have it, it's a a healthy" he looked puzzeled "It's like thoughs other childern like Emily it has no survival rate ...because of my condition" That was the first time she had ever reflected on Emily since it had happened. That night Scully slept at Mulders apartment. She walked to the couch which was already set up like a bed for her. She wore Mulder's white bussiness shirt which her could clearly see threw but didn't say anything about it but more or less made a noise. ---------- one month later Mulder reliezed how much his life had changed in little ways. Scully came over more and even wore his bussiness shirt once and awhile. Things have calmed down and Scully smiled a new smile everyday. Mulder knocked on her door "come in" she yelled from a far. She stood by the stink she had on a white apron and was clearly cooking something. "Spegettii" "What?" "That's what I'm cooking you going to stay?" "Yeah, Scullycan you come here." "Sure hold on i'm just.."she walked over cautiously "Yes" She sat down. "Scully you mean more to me than anyone in this world" she smiled and brushed his face. He opened a small burgandy velvet box and showed it to her "Will you marry me?" Her eyes opened. "Mulder, we haven't even...."she trailed off. "Oh if that's what's bothering you" he pushed her back on the couch while kissing her. "Yes" there lips broke. "I will". He smiled and there lips met again. THE END
