A/N: Just to let you know I'm here to stay :) Enjoy!
"Look at the dinosaurs Scully. Aren't they wonderful?" Mulder asked as Scully payed no attention to him and focused on her map. It's not like she wanted to be there anyway. She was forced to come along this boring trip when all she wanted to do was take a weekend to relax. Some weekend…
"Keep moving along Agents. We still have to cover the whole 4th floor" A.D Walter Skinner announced as Monica Reyes and John Doggett followed. Scully stopped.
"The fourth floor is where all the insects are. I can't go up there" She protested as Mulder laughed.
"You're scared of bugs? That's a good one". As Mulder walked away he noticed Scully hadn't followed.
"Are you coming?" he asked, a bit confused. Scully nodded no and stood right in her tracks.
"Why?"
"Because I can't"
"Sure you can it's just a bunch of bugs. It's nothing" Mulder assured as she stepped a few steps back.
"You go ahead. I'll wait here" Scully replied as she found a bench to sit on. Mulder joined her.
"Come on Scully. They can't harm you. Heck, half of those little critters are dead. Why are you so afraid?"
"It's okay. Just go catch up with them. I'll be fine, I promise". Mulder shrugged his shoulders and got up to start walking away. When he looked back he saw tears fill Scully's eyes which he thought was very strange.
"What's wrong?" he asked, wondering why such a strong woman would begin to cry over small creatures. Scully looked down, keeping her gaze to the floor.
"I got bit by a spider when I was 4. The doctors told my parents that I was going to die". Mulder put a hand on Scully's lower back and pulled her in for a hug.
"But you didn't right? Your still here, so what happened?" he asked, feeling curious.
"My mom got a priest from a near by church. She asked him to pray for me. I remember him putting his cold, wrinkly hands on my head, reciting some prayer in Latin. Then he made my mom repeat after him. The next day, the doctors came in to see if the venom had gotten father into my body"- Scully stopped, taking a deep breath.
"And?" Mulder said.
"It was gone. Not one drop of it was in me. I still remember the nurse's face. She couldn't even believe it"
"Wow Scully, why didn't you ever tell me about this?"
"I don't know. It's like one thing I will always remember, no matter how old I get. I was 4 Mulder; my mom even got surprised by how clear I described it. It scares me" Scully admitted as she layed her head against his chest.
"It shouldn't scare you. It should help you. What happened was a miracle and in your belief you should thank god for it. He saved you" Mulder assured as Scully smiled through her tears.
"Your right"
"Mulder, Scully! There you are we've been looking for you all over the place. Skinner say's it's time for lunch" Monica told them as Scully wiped her eyes and got up.
"Yeah, we should get going. Come on spooky, let's go buy some food" she teased as Mulder walked with her, side by side.
The End
