You know it has been 20 years since XF started (CRAZY) and it made me start to think about milestones within the story. So ta-da I came up with one. Who doesn't like M&S to have a little fun. All work and no play make M&S no fun! Time for a vacation for our couple don't you think? :-D ENJOY

AN: yes I know I own nothing, I do not use the disclaimer enough! Just my active imagination at work! THANK YOU!

Popping into their home on Friday was the most exciting time for Scully anymore, nothing too overwhelming at work to keep her mind preoccupied and Mulder would be happy to see her focused on 'them' finally. Scully had grabbed the mail on her way onto their lot and noticed an envelope from California, the only mail she got from there was her brother and sister in law. E-mail had helped her keep in touch with them on a regular basis but it had been awhile since she'd heard from them either way so she was looking forward to seeing what was being sent. Kicking off her shoes and placing them in the closet by the door she moseyed her way through the house, trying to catch any sight of Mulder but nothing jumped out, the shower wasn't running, the office was dark and he was nowhere to be seen. Walking towards the back door she saw a glimpse of him running up through the grass, must've just got back from a run, she watched secretly, seeing him stretch out his legs, she could see his breath from panting in the cold air, he was dripping sweat but she loved it, the way he'd exert himself was always an attraction for her. She smiled and moved to the table and sat down for a moment before going through the mail, a couple bills and the letter. Opening it, she found it wasn't a letter but an invitation:

'You are invited to share our son, Matthew Scully's Sixteenth Birthday.'

'January 13th at 3pm'

Directions and more information went on but Scully had a moment of panic, Oh my God, Matthew is going to be 16 years old. She hadn't realized how much time had passed since she'd seen her nephew, she smiled at the thought. She flashed back at remembering when he was born, 2 ½ weeks late, Emily had died; it was a sad time for her, knowing she couldn't have children of her own.

She heard the back door slide open and Mulder come in, she smiled at him and him at her as he came in and grabbed a glass of water, chugging it down quickly.

"Care to join me in the shower?" he huffed out and waggled his eyebrows.

"I'll join you but no funny business ok?" she smiled at him and rose from her seat following him upstairs, he was stripping his clothes off along the way, Scully followed at a distance picking up the discarded articles along the way and throwing them into the hamper as he went straight for the bathroom. "Why can't your clothes make it to the hamper?!" she hollered at him teasingly.

"I thought you liked playing housewife Scully?" he laughed and she heard the shower start. Scully started removing her own clothes, throwing them in the hamper as well. Wandering towards the bathroom, Scully looked at her naked form in the mirror, God I really need to get better about dedicating some workout time for myself. She sneered at herself, there was a time she was good about it but work was always so demanding, she thought the FBI was bad but there was always time for her to work on her body, she had to or she'd never be able to keep up with Mulder or perpetrators for that matter. But her time spent at the hospital some days there was just nothing more she wanted to do besides come home and crash, maybe my age is catching up with me, she frowned and she walked to the shower and popped in with Mulder.

"What took you so long," Mulder always the jokester, gleamed at her. He'd always felt better after a run, there was something cleansing about the whole thing. Water dripping from his hair, it was longer, there was something about it long that Scully loved, maybe that she could run her hands through it better.

"I was analyzing myself in the mirror, I need to keep up on my own workouts, you have too much energy for me to handle." She smiled as she switched places with him, wetting down her own skin, letting the warm water soothe her body.

"Oh come on Scully, you are still in wonderful shape, don't let it get to you." He smiled at her and planted a kiss on her neck. Scully smacked him upside the head playfully.

"I said no funny business." She giggled and continued to lather up her body as Mulder continued teasing her with little pinches and love taps. They really were still like two teenagers when alone, there was seriousness there but when Mulder started getting touchy it was all over and they were giddy and goofy. Mulder did it on purpose; it was the only way he found he could get Scully to give him that great smile of hers, the wide grin he so desperately wanted to see every moment he was with her.

"Come on Scully I have to make up for the years I missed out on this with you. Think about all the fun we could have had while on assignment in the middle of nowhere." He pinched her backside and removed himself from the shower before she could do anything back.

"Good riddance, chicken!" Scully hollered at him, laughing. Turning the water a little hotter she relished the feel of the water over skin, washing work away was a perfect start to the weekend. Finishing up in the shower Scully remembered she was going to talk to Mulder about going to California for her nephew's birthday. It would be a nice getaway for a weekend or maybe a little longer. It'd be nice to get off the east coast for awhile, enjoy the California sun, even in January it was still nice. A bit breezy perhaps but warmer than Virginia and God knows they could use the time for themselves, rekindle certain areas of their life even if Scully's family was in the picture.

"Scully are you ever going to finish up in there," Mulder hollered from the bedroom and it made her smile. He knew how she was with her bathroom routine why would he expect something different.

"Hair, face, lotion…you know the routine," she rounded the corner, clad in her robe and smiled at him laying on the bed, naked in all his glory.

"Cold I see?" she teased him and raised an eyebrow.

"Ha-ha. Thank you. Pft, see if you ever get to be touched again…" he rolled onto his other side and covered up with the comforter which made her laugh slightly. Turning off the bathroom light, Scully made her way to the bed and sat facing him, smiling a mischievous grin. "You are making me nervous with that look Scully…what's up?"

"I got an invitation in the mail today…how'd you like to go to California for a week or so? Get out of this chilly part of the country and see a little sunshine." She smiled at him, hoping to God he'd say yes. They needed it as a couple.

"What's the catch, what's it for?" Mulder was suspicious after all he knew her brother was in California and if that's the reason he didn't like it one bit. He and Bill still didn't get on the best, though they were on speaking terms it wasn't always pleasant.

"Matthew, my nephew, he turns sixteen in a week, that's a pretty big one for the Scully family. Plus it has been awhile since I've seen them in person. Please?" she was practically begging him; she knew she didn't want to go alone.

"What do I get?" he was being sneaky and dirty minded as usual.

"The joy of sending me just sexed to my brother's house just to rub his nose in it?" she laughed at her comment and made Mulder laugh too. He loved rubbing in the fact that he and Scully were 'intimate.' The more uncomfortable he could make Bill the better he felt about it, Mulder tended to be a little possessive of her but he knew how to protect her just as well as a brother if not better. He was her better half, the so called 'spouse,' even though they weren't officiated, it still felt like that after living together so long.

"I don't know Scully, I think I need some more convincing…" he played with the tie of her robe. Scully wanted to humor him and faced him, popping open the side of her robe revealing a breast. "Still only PG-13….I need to know that you really want me there," he grabbed her waist and pulled her down on him, kissing her with need and desire. "Come on you know how I get after a good run," continually trailing kisses across her lips and jaw down to her neck, biting gently.

"You know for 53 you are a pretty impressive specimen," she grinned at him as he rolled on top of her, opening her robe to reveal her body to him.

"God Scully I'm not an animal...specimen…"He scoffed and dipped his head to her breast and went to work nuzzling, licking and biting at her gently. Scully moaned as he hit a sweet spot on her ribcage and continued his way down her stomach, trailing hot, wet kisses along the way. She sighed rather loudly as he kissed and nibbled at her hip bone, ticklish yes, but more pleasurable than anything else.

"You're not an animal huh? You certainly are acting quite savage here…" she groaned as he started moving his fingers to her very hot center, playing mercilessly with the sensitive lips there, getting her to squirm.

"I'll eat like an animal, if you'll let me," his voice had dipped an octave and it made her even more excited, he moaned into her as he dropped his head to her. Scully let out a heavy sigh and tried to relax as his tongue started playing with her. Little kisses to the lips, nips at the sensitive flesh, broad strokes along the length of her and a gentle sucking on her clit. Mulder always loved pleasing her this way; he loved her hands in his hair, urging him to continue. He knew how to get her riled up and was extremely good at it. He slipped a finger into her and pumped in and out as he continued sucking certain spots, she was being more vocal than usual, thoughts of work usually kept her mind distracted but once the weekend hit he could usually get a good show from her.

"Mmmuld—"she was trying to get him to stop, it was almost becoming too much for her to handle. She moaned loudly and was writhing under him, pulling at his hair and hoping to God he'd stop. He wasn't stopping for anything. "…Oh, God…Mm—"she was panting trying to hold off. He looked up at her and saw she was so close to her orgasm and God knows it had been awhile for the both of them, fucking work, he urged her on, he was ok with pleasing her and letting her finish under his mouth and hands. It was at least a guarantee that she would be completely satisfied. She groaned loudly as he felt her muscles start to twitch around his fingers; he dipped his head again and grabbed her clit with his lips and sucked hard.

"OH. MY. GOD." She was loud and Mulder loved it…he wished she was that loud all the time, how many times he heard her say that phrase in their time together and when she started saying it in bed it was incredible. Her body stilled and she was breathing heavy, still in a daze. Mulder rolled her onto her side slightly and crawled up her body, straddling her left leg as he pulled the right one up against his chest, he prodded at her gently, lubing himself with her juices and swiftly entered her from this angle.

"God, Scully…" he was impressed at how limber she was. "….you feel incredible."

"I can't move very well…" she panted out that she wasn't going to be much help in this position though Mulder started to move in her, eliciting deep groans from them both. "…fuck….Mulder!" She was gone, breathing heavy as he stroked in and out of her, holding her right leg up against his chest and shoulder, she gasped with all she had left from her previous orgasm and urged him to continue.

"Christ…" Mulder was trying so hard to keep going, it felt amazing and he pulled her leg tight against himself as he was driving in full force, his strong legs keeping him upright as he needed to be. "…Scully…" he heard himself begging for her to come again. She moaned from deep within herself and he felt her muscles tighten again; her body went rigid as he continued thrusting into her. His hands surely were going to leave a bruise on her thigh from gripping her so tightly but God she felt marvelous. Mulder shuddered against her with a few more thrusts and was lost in pleasure, panting and gasping, he remembered seeing this position in a magazine once and wasn't sure if actually felt good but good God it was erotic and amazing, probably not so much for her. Mulder removed himself from her and flopped on the bed, panting and breathless.

"Where did you pick that one up from?" Scully breathlessly spoke.

"Kama Sutra supplement in a magazine from years ago…splitting bamboo…" he looked at her and they laughed.

"So does that mean we are going to California?" she smiled at him and he grinned at her in agreement.
