A/N: Ok guys, this is probably going to be a bit weird and I don't know how it's going to work out, but still… It is going to be smutty but in a different way to what is around at the moment! Let's get on with this…..

Scully walked along the corridor to the office. She walked in through the door as she would on any usual day. But this was no ordinary day. Today was the day they had decided to let everyone know. Both she and Monica Reyes realised that this wouldn't be easy, but they also realised that they worked in the FBI. That meant that if they tried to keep it a secret from everyone for much longer, they would soon be found out anyway. Scully and Reyes were a couple. They had been together for a year and they had enjoyed every minute of it. At home they could be themselves, at work; they stole glances at each other when no-one else could see.

Part of Scully loved the thrill of doing something different to everybody else. Reyes liked the idea of everybody knowing, but she knew she did not have the guts to tell everybody herself. She left that to one of two options; the first being that they were caught kissing or something along those lines. The news would be around the headquarters in minutes and they had done the easiest thing possible, the most natural at least. The second option was to let Scully do the honours and just stand next to her as the quiet one. Reyes preferred the first idea and she was sure she could persuade Scully to think the same way. She loved Scully but sometimes there were things that came between them.

One of the main things was work. Another was they way they both thought about things, they way they did things. Reyes was more of an impatient person, the type to do things in the way that meant the least work, even if it meant that it would be a little rough around the edges afterwards. Scully did things the other way around. She knew that even if it meant doing more work, it would be worth it for the perfect outcome. Sometimes this made them disagree, but they never argued. They made a compromise and through a mix of self sacrifice and pure love they always agreed some how. Reyes and Scully were grateful for this. Scully knew that when this finally came out, nothing would ever be the same again.

So the plan was set. Scully and Reyes were to be 'caught' kissing in the back hall, parallel to the corridor leading to the X-Files office. Agent Liest walked down that hall every day at 10:00am without fail. 4 minutes before that, Scully and Reyes would meet up and wait for the perfect moment. They would probably be together at that time anyway but just in case they had excuses ready for whoever may begin to hold them up. It was 9:00am by the time they had made the last decisions and so that gave them just an hour to pretend to be normal until 'the time'.

They sat together in the office, Reyes wondering what Mulder was up to on holiday and Scully worrying about how her few friends would take the news that was about to come out.

"Why are you worried, Scully?" Reyes said blankly, staring into space.

"Huh? Oh I'm not." Scully replied distractedly.

"Yes you are. I can tell just by the atmosphere in this room." Scully suddenly turned to look at Reyes, but said nothing.

"I just don't know…. If… oh no... don't worry. I'm just being paranoid."

"No, Scully what? If you are having any doubt about us, then we don't have to carry on…." Reyes began trailing off, just as Scully butted in.

"No! It's nothing like that!! I just don't know if I want everyone knowing just yet. I was wondering if it were too soon." Scully said.

"So are you telling me that if you were with Mulder or Doggett even, you would wait for as long as this to tell everyone?"

"Well. You know that would never happen! I can't answer that, because I know it would never happen…" Scully looked hurt.

"I'm sorry Dana. I guess I'm just nervous. I don't regret anything but its still a big step. I mean from being a pretty, straight girl to a lesbian in a relationship with my co-worker!! It sounds cool, but it's just gonna be weird at first, with everyone knowing and all."

"I know Mon. It's going to be hard but it's going to be worth it. I can't wait, but I'm nervous as hell!"

Just as Scully said her last word, the clock struck 10.
