I could tell something was up while sitting here at my desk, formerly

Scully's. It's been almost a year since Mulder disappeared, but only

three months since he's been back. He was in the hospital for one

month, on and off for the next, and then told to stay home for another. Agent Scully had her baby a month and one week after Mulder was

returned, so now she only works half the time I do. Mulder has to work

only two hours without her and then he gets to go home (he's been back

at the job for a week), while I have to sit here all day.

As I was saying there was something up. Mulder kept on eyeing Scully.

Now I have been over their apartment a few times for dinner and stuff

where they're always affectionate, but at work they hardly touch each

other. Maybe it's a rule Skinner set for them so that don't take off

each others clothes like animals. Trust me, I don't want to see that.

Mulder finally seems like he's going to say something but closes his

mouth when Scully looks at him. He does his puppy dog face which I've

grown accustomed to and ignore. Every time I am over their apartment

he gives that face to her at least once. It sickens me each time.

Anyways now he gets up from their desk (I say their desk meaning they

share his desk together). And makes his way towards the middle of the

room. I am engrossed in his actions. I usually sit here and

watch their escapades because for some reason they don't mind (except

arguments, but I wouldn't want to listen to or watch those), I guess

they sorta consider me a friend. Hell, they told their kid to call me

Uncle John. So I continue watching. He sets his determined eyes at

her.

"Scully, please come here," he asks sweetly.

"Mulder I'm doing something, can it wait," she asks reading a file.

"No, it is highly important that you come here right now," he says pointing his finger at the floor.

"One second." She finishes reading and gets up heading towards Mulder.

"What?"

"Stand right here," he says positioning her standing towards their

desk. She gives me a little grin, as if to say 'what an idiot.' I

smile back at her. This is really interesting. He pulls the small,

plastic, empty (all the papers are basically on the floor from our

missed foul shots) garbage can almost right in front of her. He then

backs away a little and positions himself facing her.

"Mulder what are you doing?" She questions. He just grins and starts

walking towards her. Then as he approaches the garbage can he trips on

it, landing his lips right on hers for a long kiss. I get up from my

chair and walk towards them.

"Fine," I say. "I'll get the coffee." And as I walk out I give them a

face and hear her giggling from under his mouth. Then, as usual

halfway down the hall I hear two unison yells from our office.

"Thanks Doggett." It's gonna be a long day.
