Sweet Sacrifice

It was a cold windy day. The clouds hung low threatening the people below. The air smelled of smoke and the distant taste of rain lay nearby. Umbrellas were attached to almost everyone's sides not wanting to take the chance of getting wet. Thunder rolled in the distance sounding of gunshots. Special Agent Fox Mulder was sitting inside the car next to Dana Scully. There was silence all around neither of them wanting to speak about the current situation in place. There car sat parked in front of Tim's 24 hour service store.

"Mulder, come on just go in there and get one. We both need it." Scully refused to look him in the eye as she said this. Her voice was soft and innocent.

"Why can't you get it, I mean why me?" Mulder kept his eyes on the steering wheel like it was an interesting specimen.

"Please. Mulder I can't, will you just do it?"

"Okay. But I refuse to do it again okay?"

Mulder pulled his coat over his ears and opened the car door. The icy wind smacked him in his face as he shut the door and made his way to the store. The heater was on and a short Asian man sat behind the counter keeping his eyes focused on Mulder.

He walked down the third aisle and started to scan the shelf. His eyes stopped on the object that could potentially ruin his ego. He grabbed the first box and slowly walked towards the counter holding the box as if it had some kind of disease. He handed to the man who in turn gave him an odd look and rung it up.

"Will this be all?"

Mulder nodded

"The total is 6.50" Mulder handed the man a 10

"Keep the change." He grabbed the box and walked out to the car.

Scully looked up as the door opened and the coldness ran in.

"Did you get it?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you so much."

"See the sweet sacrifices that I make for you. But I want to make this clear I am NEVER going in a store with people to buy a pregnancy test. I flat out REFUSE"
