You all rock! ~~~~~~~~~~ She laid her head down on his chest, closing her eyes for a brief moment to take everything to mind. This was truly happening. He was awake, and breathing. He was back from the dead. Life had been returned to him and he had been returned to her. Mulder was back into Scully's life. They were together again. Scully listened to Mulder's heartbeat for a few moments, silently thanking Doggett for letting her to be with him in private. She needed this; she needed to be with Mulder now. She had waited for so long for this precious day. Scully would lie awake at night dreaming of Mulder's return, and lay a hand to her stomach to the life that she would soon bring into the world. 'The baby,' Scully thought silently. She hadn't told Mulder about the baby yet. But how would he react? She was for certain that he would be happy, be over joyed that she was pregnant, and she was for sure that the child inside was his. "Who was that at the door?" she heard Mulder's voice. Scully slightly lifted her head as tears of joy were still steaming down her face. She wasn't going to tell him about Agent Doggett yet, she had something more important to tell Mulder. "No one, it was someone at the wrong door," she lied as she wiped away her tears. Mulder studied her face and looked down at her hand covering his. He lifted his hand taking hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. Scully smiled and looked down at their adjoined hands. "What's been going on since I've been away?" Scully looked to him and squeezed his hand. "A lot has been going on," she replied. Mulder nodded. "Mind telling me what?" She took a deep breath and looked at Mulder. She could feel the tears stinging her eyes again. Mulder was looking at her, waiting for her to answer him. Mulder looked at her soberly. "Do you," she began again, feeling her throat tighten has she took a deep breath, "do you remember whenever I told you that whenever I tried to get pregnant that your sperm didn't take?" Mulder nodded. Scully looked at him and slightly smiled. 'Now or never,' she thought. "Mulder...I have something to show you," she rose from the bed and took a step back from the bed. His eyes widen and a smile spread across his face. "Oh... Scully.." He started to chuckle at the sight of Scully's belly. Scully looked at him with a smile. "Scully...I...you're pregnant...oh God..." Mulder stuttered. Tears began to come down his cheeks as Scully sat on the bed and took his hand. "Mulder...I don't know how to explain it to you, but right after you left for the forest, and disappeared...I learned I was pregnant..." she trailed off. "And the baby is yours," she finished. He looked at her, the tears were coming faster now, a smile at his lips. He sat up in the bed and leaned in for a hug. "Scully...it's mine? You're sure?" She pulled back and put her hands on the sides of his face. She wiped a few tears and smiled. "Yes, I am positive it's yours. I'm assuming that when we... out in Oregon that was how I got pregnant. We're going to have a child." Mulder let out a gentle laugh, and pulled Scully in for a hug. "Oh Scully.. a child...our child..." He pulled back suddenly. "The baby is healthy right?" "Yes, the baby is fine. I'm 6 months along now." Mulder pulled back and put his hand to Scully's stomach. "6 months," he breathed. "I don't know the gender though, I thought I'd leave it a surprise." Mulder nodded and looked to her stomach again. "I'm so happy...Scully, I am so happy..." He trailed off and looked into her eyes. They were reunited, back together again. And now they would have a child, a family. Scully let out a small sigh and then felt something in her stomach. "Oh! Mulder, the baby...it's kicking." "The baby is kicking?" Mulder asked as he put his hands to her stomach. He felt the gentle kicks from the baby inside. He smiled and looked to Scully who had silent tears coming down her face. He lifted up Scully's shirt and planted a gentle kiss to her stomach. He laid his head to her belly, the baby still giving gentle kicks. "Hello baby," Mulder whispered against her stomach. "Whatcha kicking mommy for?" Scully laughed softly and looked down at Mulder who was talking to her stomach. "I guess you like kicking, don't you? You're gonna have strong legs if kick a lot. One day, you and I might play kickball together, and then we're gonna play a game of catch." Mulder looked up to Scully with a grin, and turned his head to her stomach. "With a baseball, of course," he added. Scully smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. Mulder continued to talk to her stomach, as if he was talking to a real baby. "Well, I'm just assuming you're going to be a little boy, because if you're a little girl, you and mommy will drive me crazy with tea parties and when you're older, with boys.." Scully watched in amazement as Mulder kept talking. She knew right then that he was going to be the perfect father who would be loving and caring to their child. "No, I take that back. I wouldn't mind having a little girl, or a little boy, it doesn't matter to me because I'll always love you." Mulder looked to Scully. "No matter what." He raised up and looked into Scully's eyes. He leaned in and placed his forehead against hers. "You don't know how happy I am right now...Scully...I'm so..." He trailed off, feeling tears coming down his cheeks. He wiped a few from Scully's and kissed her softly on her forehead. "I'm so glad I'm home," Mulder whispered softly. "I'm glad you're home, too," Scully whispered back. And at that moment, the baby kicked again, approving that it was happy to have Daddy back too. ~ Fin ~ Author Notes: So, it was a little sappy. After thinking about it for a long time, I believe Mulder and Scully did do it finally in "Requiem". I first thought "all things", but I don't think they did it then. They may have, but she didn't get pregnant. Though I am not postive that it's gonna be a little boy or girl, I will not believe that it's alien, although I know Chris Carter's style. So, we'll see. :).
