Rating: It's a-okay!
Summary: Scully gets a late night phone call.
A/N: This is only my second X-Files fic (I believe). I got this idea watching some re-runs. It's short... Hope you guys like it!!
Scully groaned and rolled over, reaching for the ringing phone on her night stand. She didn't even need to turn on the light to find the 'talk' button.
"Scully," she grumbled, her eyes still closed.
"Hey, it's Mulder."
"Mulder?" she asked glancing at the bright red numbers of her alarm clock. "It's two in the morning." She sighed, "You think you found an X-File?"
"No," he replied without a hint of sleepiness in his voice.
"Then why exactly did you call me?"
"I wanted to know how your day went."
"It couldn't wait eight or ten hours?" she asked.
"Scully, amuse me."
"It was fine Mulder. Thanks for dragging me into another X-File."
"Oh, come on. You enjoy the X-Files adventures," he said.
A small smile spread across her sleepy face. "Maybe I do for a second."
He heard her yawn and wanted to stay on the phone with her until she fell asleep. The soft sigh that escaped her lips and echoed through the phone would have sounded better in person.
"Thanks for tolerating me," he said.
"It's part of the package," she replied.
"Good night, Scully."
"Good night, Mulder."
"Oh, one more thing," Mulder said before she could hang up.
"What?"
"I love you Dana," he said.
He knew that she was smiling and her eyes were sparkling even though he could not see her.
"I love you too… Fox." Scully chucked before she hung up the phone. Mulder held the phone against his ear until the dial tone filled his ear.
Mulder lay back on his couch and switched off the TV, closed his eyes and fell asleep knowing that another day went by with Dana Scully in his life.
A/N: Yes, people still do get phone calls. LOL. How was it? Let me know… read and review!
