A/N -- Hi. After writing this short chapter / introduction, I realized how much I have been having trouble with the placement of commas. If you find any errors regarding that, please try to ignore them. I'm currently working on where to place commas. I'm a young, teenage writer and still learning. Thanks! :)
& This takes place around season 5.

The sunset was a gradient, fading from dark purple to mandarin orange, the silhouettes of trees with only a few leafs remaining were visible in the distance.

Dana Scully stood tranquilly, looking out of the window in her mother's home and up into the relaxing evening sky. She took a long, soothing breath to rejuvenate herself. Her blue-gray eyes were focused on the admirable scene in front of the house. She wasn't sure as to how long she had been standing there, admiring the view. Once the sun had desended was the moment she realized she must have been standing for a lengthy amount of time. She exhaled as she looked into the beautiful night sky. She shut the decently decorated curtians then spun around, walking toward the the door and turning the knob to exit.

"Dana," Maggie smiled softly once she had seen her daughter in the hallway. Just the very sight of Scully brought joy to her. Just hearing her daughter's voice filled her with warmth. Work had kept her busy lately and she did not want to loose touch with her daughter. "You have a visitor." She informed Scully, with the soft smile beginning to slowly fade away. She loved Scully and had been more than thrilled the very moment she heard she would be spending her weekend off with her. Just the two of them. A mother and daughter bond.

"A visitor?" Scully raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She looked down to scan her 'outfit'. She had been dressed in teal silk pajamas, her hair -- a mess after taking a hot shower and letting it air dry. She didn't even bother to brush it. She was hoping to brush her teeth then hop into bed, under the warm, delicate covers. Especially on a cold November night.

"Yes, I was surprised when I saw him standing there." Maggie didn't seem delighted. It was more than apparent.

"Him?" Scully asked in a shocked tone. There was only one 'him' in mind. Mulder. But why in the world would he be here? She informed him earlier she would be spending the weekend at her mother's house, but she didn't think he'd tag along. There was no reason for him to.

Too impatient to wait for a response, Scully began to quickly walk toward the doorway. Her eyes began to widen when she saw who was standing there. He had a wide grin on his face as soon as she was in his sight.

"Mulder…" Scully said slowly, not sure what to think. "What are you doing here?" It wasn't that she didn't want to see him, it was that she simply wasn't planning on it. But here he was, at her mother's door. But why?

"What's wrong, Scully, are you not happy to see me?"

"I just – was looking forward to a weekend off from work." Scully looked down at her slippers and sighed. The first thought that entered her mind was that he was here on a case, and needed her help. How ironic.

"Actually, the reason for my visit has nothing to do with work."

"Then what does it have to do with?"
