He walked into his gloomy apartment, dropping his jacket onto the
leather chair as he made his way to the sofa. As he sat down, she
came into the room and sat beside him. She nuzzled against his side
and he rubbed her back affectionately.
"You're the best, Scully," he said. "I don't know what I'd do
without you. You've always been there for me, no matter how winding
the road we've walked, no matter how I've neglected you or abandoned
you. When I hurt myself, you were always there for me, a constant
comfort. I can be myself with you, Scully, I don't have to pretend
and you accept me for who I am. You always have. You never judge me
and you've always trusted me. It was hard when you had your cancer,
I don't know how I could have gone on had you not made it out okay.
We're a team, Scully, you and me. You've been a support in my life
ever since you entered it. I'll always love you."
He brushed her head, running his hands through her auburn mane
and planted one gentle kiss on her head.
"Come on," he said, patting his leg. "Let's go feed you your
Iams and then we can watch -*X-Files*."
