6:34 pm
Dana Scully's apartment
Knock-Knock
"Scully, open up, its me!"
"I cough can't, have to stay in bed, cough doctors orders."
"Oh, listening to me now are we? click Anyway, I brought you some
starbucks."
"Jesus, Mulder do you have some kind of cough-cough death wish or
something?"
"No, and I got you something else too."
"Wha..." Seeing the label on the package that Mulder was presenting
her. Rocklea Road. "Mulder!" Beaconing for him to come closer and
pulled him into a tight hug. "You didn't have cough" have to."
"I know, now drink you're double venti caremal latte."
"I drink a short black."
"Exactly, that's why I got you one."
"Stop kidding around and give me my rocky road!" and with one sweep
she picked up the rocky road off his lap, subsequently knocking
Mulder's coffee out of his hand and all over his shirt. "Oh my god!
Mulder, I'm so sorry! Let me clean you up!"
"No, you stay in bed, I'll be right back, and I'm taking this." Mulder
picked up the rocky road and went off into the bathroom.
"Mulder!"
"If you wait, I know you'll like it better."
And with that he was gone.
What seemed like an hour later Mulder returned with the rocky road cut
up and placed on a plate?
"Please tell me you did that in the kitchen."
"No, I cut it up in the bathroom with nail scissors and used thee toilet
bowl lid as a plate, honestly you'd think I was a bloody child!"
"cough whatever, let's eat!" Picking her piece very carefully, she
picked up the larger piece and broke it in half so it was easier to
eat, to her surprise it had already been broken in half with something
on the inside connecting them. "Mulder, what did you put in my piece?"
He looked at her and she continued to break the piece apart. "Mul-
cough Mu-Mulder?" she held up the item that had been joining the two
halves, it was the one thing that she had never expected. Stunned she
stared at the ring, it was perfect, it was a thin gold band with just
a tiny diamond settled in the middle, and engraved on the inside of
the band were the words 'Dana, marry me?' And with that she flung her
arms around his neck and stayed there, without moving, for what could
have been an hour. "Of course I will."
A/N it was 3am and I couldn't sleep, so what do I do, I write! Fun
fun fun... This is my first Sculder fic since I just started watching
the X-Files obsessively.
