"John and I are getting married." Reyes said and every one in the room gasped; Brad Follmer, Mulder, Scully, and Skinner, all drew a sharp intake of breath at the same time and stared at Monica and John.
Scully was the first to recover. "Oh my god! Congratulations!" she cried and hugged them both. Then Mulder snapped out of his trance and he too congratulated them on their engagement.
Monica turned to Brad, but he just looked at her with jealousy and hatred. Then he stormed from the room with out a word.
Monica turned to Skinner when she heard him speak. "You know that I can't have you two working together if you're getting married? Especially seeing as I already have one couple working on the X Files." He said referring to Mulder and Scully.
"Yeah, we figured as much." John said.
"But we really want to keep working together, we wont wear our rings to work, we wont tell any one about us, except you guys and our families, and I am keeping my last name, so there shouldn't many complications?" Monica said looking hopefully at Skinner.
"Okay….but what about your files? Your personal ones I mean, they say that you are both single?" Skinner inquired.
Monica and John looked at each other briefly. "Sir, we intend to leave them the way they are." Monica said.
"Hmmm…well, you can stay together, for now." He said. "Oh and congrats."
"Thank you sir!" Monica said delighted she could still work with John.
As they walked out of the office John spoke "I think that went well don't you?"
"Yeah I think so, but you see the look on Brad's face when we told them we're getting married?" Monica asked.
"Yes, I did. I don't think that your ex is too happy about us being together. I saw the look of hatred that was directed at us. Just be careful around him will ya?"
"Aren't I always?" Monica said smirking.
John put his hand on the small of her back as if to guide her to the elevator, and smiled down at her.
When they got off the elevator, John saw Mulder and Scully beckoning him.
"Honey? I'm just gonner see what Mulder and Scully want, and I'll meet you at the car." He said walk off towards them.
"Yeah okay." She replied and continued walking until she felt a hand on her shoulder. Monica turned around and came face to face with none other than Brad Follmer.
"Oh hey, what do you want?" She said with mock enthusiasm.
"I want you." He said and grabbed her arm.
"Well you can't have me." She said and tried to pry his hand off her arm.
Brad leaned down and tried to kiss Monica, but she pulled back and slapped him. Hard.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She cried as she pulled out of his grasp, but just stood there.
"You're what's wrong with me."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked confused.
"It means you mine." He replied.
"Your delusional Brad, get the hell away from me." Monica said and tried to pass him, but he grabbed her arm again, and pulled her back to him.
"I'm delusional? You walked out on me, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember, I remember that you didn't give a damn about me or my feelings, so I left. Now let go of me" She said defiantly.
"Come on Mon, give us a chance."
"I did. You blew it. It's been over years Brad, move on, I have and so should you."
"You're my life Mon."
"Maybe a few years ago I might have been, but not now Brad and you know it. It is over, I am getting married to John and there is nothing that you can do about it." Monica said.
"Wanna bet?" She looked confused about this statement as she thought that he was threatening her job.
"I don't care if I have to transfer as long as I am with John that is all that matters to me."
"That's not what I meant." Brad said and grabbed her shoulders.
"Then what did you mean?"
"I meant that our relationship is not over." He said and he leaned down a second time and this time he did kiss Monica, but his victory was short lived.
The second his lips touched hers, she kneed him right where it hurts, which made him double over and curse loudly.
"Bitch!" he cried as Monica turned to leave.
"John! Lets go." She said and John looked up from his conversation with Mulder and Scully. He saw the pissed look on her face, and Brad still doubled over near her. John turned away for a moment to say goodbye.
And when he did, Brad looked at Monica and yelled "You'll pay for that!" When she turned around he charged at her knocking her to the floor. Then he climbed on top of her and wrapped his hands around her throat and proceeded to slowly squeeze the life out of her.
So how am I doing for my first multi chapter story?
