            Mulder rested his head on the soft swell of Scully's belly, laying a few gentle kisses across her skin.

            Scully played with his hair, hardly paying attention to her book.

            "I can't believe we're getting this chance, Dana," Mulder said.

            "Neither can I," she confessed. "Especially since I was told I couldn't have children."

            Mulder smiled. "I guess we got a miracle."

            Scully put down the book and Mulder shifted to let her stretch out before lying on top of her, being careful not to squish the baby. At four months pregnant, Scully was just beginning to show.

            Mulder's hands roamed freely over Scully's skin, exploring her. Scully's hands latched onto his hair as she enjoyed the feeling of his tongue in her mouth. After several minutes, they broke apart.

            "I love you even more everyday, Dana," Mulder told her.

            "And I you," Scully replied.

            He kissed her again, lingering for a few seconds before pulling back completely.

            Scully smiled. "I'm sorry, Spooky, but I've got to get up. I promised Skinner that I'd call him and let him know how my appointment went."

            "Can't you do it later?"

            "Sorry, Spooky. I need to do it now," she told him. She squirmed a bit and then stood up. She picked up the phone and dialed Skinner's number.

            Mulder sighed and got off the couch. It was late and he was tired.

            "I'm going to bed, Angel," he told Scully.

            She nodded and winked at him. "Good night. I'll be there soon," she mouthed.

            Mulder changed from his jeans into his blue pajamas and climbed into bed. As he fell asleep, he began dreaming.
