A/N: I'm taking my turn on a Mulder and Scully proposal. Why can't Chris
Carter give us fans what we want: Mulder and Scully married, with William, and
Mulder finding his sister? Enjoy! Woot! This is my third Xfile story under my
name. I'm proud of myself. Expect more, hopefully!

Memo

By: LOSTrocker

"Marry me."

"What?" the question, well perhaps order was a better term here, took
Mulder completely by surprise.

Sure, he was hoping one day him and Scully could officially tie the not, but
he wanted to be the one to ask first. Scully beat him to the punch.

"What brings this on?" he asked her.

It had been nothing special, just a random blurt out, that's why he asked.
It wasn't what Scully wanted to hear.

"Nothing, never mind," she returned quickly.

Mulder smiled. He could see the hurt in her eyes. At least, she was thinking
the same lines as him. Then again, what else was new? Mulder made his way
over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"That wasn't a no, you know." He whispered in her ear.

Scully smiled. "Then why answer my question with a question."

"Are you sure it was a question?" he teased her. "I would love to be
your husband, I was just curious on why now?" he asked. "I mean, you just
blurted it out."

"Well, I mean, think about it." Scully began. "It's the only thing
that makes sense. We belong together, why not tie the knot?"

"I know we make sense," he agreed. "It's just I don't know, this
wasn't exactly how I pictured it." Mulder said.

Scully pushed herself away from him. "What do you want me to do?" she
asked. "Get down on one knee, burst out into song, make sure the whole FBI
knows so they can spread the word? WHAT?!"

Mulder laughed. "You're starting to sound like me now."

"Shut up Mulder, I'm serious!" Scully fussed, hitting him.

"Okay, violence and demand is big no-nos for wedding proposals." Mulder
made known. "Since when did we follow the rules?" Mulder asked her, taking her back
into his arms.

"I followed the rules just fine until they teamed me up with you." She
said.

"We need to thank them one day." Suggested Mulder. "Don't you
think?"

"Sure," Scully replied. "Now, answer my question, what do I have to do
to get you to say yes?"

"Scully, you know you all ready had me at hello." Mulder said with a
laugh.

"Forget this, where's my gun?" Scully questioned jokingly.

"I was just hoping to take you back to the island to do this properly, down
on one knee and all." Mulder answered her question. "Then bursting out
into song, and give the FBI a notice."

"We don't need that island Mulder," Scully said. "We're fine right
here. Right now." This time she pulled away to look him in his eyes.
"I'm ordering you again, marry me."

Mulder smirked. "Yes sir." He joked as he kissed her.

Skinner would get a memo tomorrow.

Fin.
