Disclaimer: I don't own Muldy or Sculler... no, wait, I mean, Mulder or Scully. I just, uh, "borrowed" them for this story. :)







Fox Mulder slipped the key into his apartment door. The lock clicked. He pushed the door open, then stood aside to let Dana Scully, his partner, inside.

She walked in and he followed behind. As he shut the door, Scully took off her jacket, revealing her large, protruding belly. Mulder took her jacket and set it on a chair. Then he took a seat beside Scully on the couch.

They had just finished a rather hectic case. Agent John Doggett had also been assigned.

"So," Mulder started. "What do you think of Doggett?"

Scully shrugged. "He's very professional about his work," she replied. "But doesn't keep an open mind."

Mulder smiled, watching Scully.

"You were once like that," he said.

She smiled slightly.

Mulder paused. He had something on his mind that he needed to tell Scully. It had been on his mind for eight years.

"Scully?" Mulder said suddenly.

She looked at him. "Yes?"

"Do you remember the case when I chased that ghost ship?"

She nodded slowly. "Yes I do, Mulder."

He glanced at her to make sure she was still listening. Then he spoke again. "When we were alone in my hospital room, I told you I loved you. You turned and walked away."

Scully looked almost embarrassed.

"Yes, I did, Mulder," she said.

He paused, trying to find the words. "When I was abducted, all I wanted was you. When I was being tortured, I wanted... no, I needed you. Knowing that you had to find me... it's really touching, Scully." He paused again. "Scully, I love you. There's no hiding that. I love you."

She stared at him for a moment, then averted her eyes from his.

"I love you," he repeated. "If you ever need somebody who cares.. there's me." He paused, seeing her eyes on the verge on tears. "I understand that you don't love me but I think you need to know my feelings for you--"

"Mulder," she interupted softly.

He went silent.

"You're a fool," she said suddenly. Before Mulder could speak, she spoke again. "You're a damn fool if you truly believe that I don't love you. If I didn't love you, why would I ask you to be the father of my baby?"

Mulder stared at her.

"I love you, Mulder," she said.

A slow smile crept onto his face. He watched a smile cross Scully's face as well.

He leaned towards her and enveloped her in a hug. He kissed her hair, smelling the sweet odor of her shampoo.

She pulled away after a moment.

Mulder slowly leaned towards her and kissed her warm lips gently.

After the passionate kiss, Mulder wrapped his arms around her. They held each other for a long time, realizing how much they really needed each other.
