"Season seven, the truth was in her pants." –Kevin Smith
Disclaimer: I don't own any part of the X-files, but luckily I'm a proud owner of seasons 1-9 the movie. So, although I do not own X-files...and if I did the movie coming out in July would be the 3rd movie for the X-files ever... it's all good. Please, Review. :D XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
There was a knock at the door, around 8:15. Scully would usually have to be at work by eight, but today was different. Today she would enjoy it with her very small family, Mulder and the baby. Scully squinted; the sunlight had brightened the room. Mulder was at her side and she wondered why William had not awoken yet.
Slowly, she walked towards the front door.
"I'm coming," She called out to the unknown person of persons just on the other side of the door. She glanced into the ajar door of William's bedroom. Mulder was talking silently to William in his crib. She walked towards the door and looked out the peep hole to see both Doggett and Reyes. "Shit," She murmured opening the door. She was sure that she could trust them two, but no one else could know other than her mother and Skinner, who she would be telling that afternoon.
"Dana, are you okay?" Reyes asked coming into the living room Doggett behind her. Scully quickly shut the door.
"Something wrong," Doggett spoke in his Georgian accent.
"I... I have someone here," Scully began to explain just as Mulder came out of the bedroom carrying the baby in his arms.
"Now it's a party," Mulder smiled advancing towards them, William grabbing everywhere at Mulder's face. Reyes and Doggett both had their jaws dropped.
"Mulder?" Doggett asked, not believing that he was real.
"Yeah, I thought I heard you two," Mulder placed a loving hand on Scully's lower back.
"Uhm, the reason I didn't show up for work today... the reason is him. I left a voicemail on your phone Monica."
"Yes, I know you did," She was still staring at Mulder, astonished that he had come back. "You said that something had happen. We thought that the baby had an accident or something."
"No, he's fine. It's just I've missed him and Scully so, I'm only here for a few days."
"Are you sure it's safe?"
"It's never safe, Doggett. But I'm pretty sure now was the best time."
"Did you tell Skinner?" Reyes asked just as William let out a mild scream for attention. Mulder lifted him up to the air, and he giggled in amusement.
"Not yet. We plan on it today. Nobody may know about this. You can't tell anyone," Scully replied to her question. "Take the highest precautions that we have been taking. No mentioning this even over the phone." The two nodded. Mulder was gazing at Scully.
"We had a few questions about that case we told you about over the phone, but we see you have more important things right now," Mulder interrupted Doggett.
"Well, maybe it's good you came over. Maybe I can be of assistance," He looked eager to put his criminal profiling skills to work again.
"Yeah, Mulder go ahead," Scully handed her hands out to William, "Just give me the baby; he seems a bit hungry."
Scully took the baby from Mulder's arms and he let a yelp out, wanting to be back with his father.
"No, no, sweetheart. Come on I know you're hungry." As Scully walked over to the kitchen she bounced him in her arms to quiet his yelping. She placed him in his high chair as Mulder went to talk to Doggett. William could not keep his eyes off of Mulder for even a second. It was going to break Scully's heart when he leaves. She wasn't so sure that she was ready for him to leave her a third time.

William was good while he ate his breakfast, and when Scully turned to Mulder, Doggett, and Reyes it seemed like Mulder was being a big help. He looked happy right there. While he was off in hiding she imagined him sad because that's the way that he described himself in his e-mails. Seeing him now, he looks undeniably happy. And she was happy too. This is how Scully wanted it forever. She wanted to be married to him.
She sat on a chair in the kitchen, holding William, talking to him gently as he sat in her arms. She had always wanted to be married to Mulder, but now it was almost as if they were. She knew it wouldn't last long though, but she wasn't about to lose hope on having him back safe and for good.
"Well," Doggett said getting up, Reyes following suit.
"I see you two probably have a lot to talk about since you just came back, Agent Mulder." Reyes finished his sentence for him. Scully had never ceased to be amused at the way Doggett stares at Reyes with such love and passion in his eyes. She herself had never seen Mulder gaze at her like everyone had always said he did, but if he had she imagined that his gazing would look a little something like Doggett's at Reyes. "Thank you for your help," Reyes smiled and grabbed a hold of Doggett's hand to pull him to Scully. Scully snapped out of her daydreams when she realized that they were walking towards her. "Dana," Reyes began smiling at her friend. "We're going to go. If you need us call us."
"Yeah, number of the most unwanted," Scully looked to Mulder and smirked. Doggett and Reyes both had a short laugh as well. "Thanks, Dana." Doggett squeezed his shoulder, turning around to leave.
Just as the door shut, Scully made her way into William's bedroom to put him down. Then, she came back over to Mulder who still sat on the couch.
She through her legs lazily over Mulder's right after she sat down beside him. Mulder leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Her eyes were shut.
"I miss this Scully." Mulder told her while pulling her onto his lap to hold her.
"Miss what Mulder," She asked, opening her eyes to his.
"I miss being with you, just talking. I miss the F.B.I. I miss living freely, and not having to worry about some alien coming for me or you."
"You miss a lot of things," She interrupted, whispering.
"I do. I miss you most," They smiled at each other, and then Scully realized it was now or never to tell Mulder what she really wanted.
"I miss us being together. I miss you most too," Mulder interrupted and it was almost like he was reading her thoughts.
"It wouldn't be like that if we got married though," He sighed heavily, looking everywhere but Scully's eyes. Just as she spoke he turned her attention to her.
"You're reading my mind, Mulder. What and x-file," She added in a laugh causing him to smile.
"Scully?"
"Yes?"
"What if it was all safe again, and I asked you to be my wife, you would, right?" Tears were now streaking down her cheeks. She sucked on her bottom lip turning her head away from Mulder's eyes. She looked back at him, nodding.
Mulder grabbed her head and pulled her forehead to his lips, kissing it once gently, and then his lips found her mouth. He kissed her once softly, and then he pulled away. They both shared a smile before his lips returned to hers to kiss her more passionately. Both hearts were thumping in sync with all the passion and love they had for each other along with how much they've missed each other over the past long seven months.
She slid off his lap, and she laced her fingers on the back of his head, while he had hers tangled in her red hair. Slowly she began to lean back on to the couch. By the time her back hit, Mulder's was on top of her. Not once had they ceased their kissing for a short breath of air. It was now deep; their lips were parted and his tongue explored her mouth. She did the same, now caressing his face.
Scully managed to let out a moan when Mulder's fingers slipped into her shirt, letting his fingers graze the sides of her body. In one swift movement he pulled her shirt over her body and then threw it to the side to leave her in her white lace bra. He didn't have to pull back to take in how beautiful she was. He already knew this; he was cursed with a photographic memory. Now, it had come in handy. In another quick movement Scully had managed to pull Mulder out of his shirt. Her fingers stroked his toned features, remembering their first night shared in his bed. He moved from her lips to her jaw bone, trailing kisses alongside of it, making his way down her neck, and then finally to her collar bone. She moaned in ecstasy.
Mulder's hands, lightly tickled her stomach, making her squirm underneath him. He traced them from there to around her back to her bra clasp. He continued to suck and kiss her collarbone. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, while Mulder was fumbling with the clasp, there was a high pitched cry. Before they had heard some cooing from William, but now, cries for attention were echoing out of the baby monitor just behind them while they escaped the room as well. Mulder had undone the clasp just as Scully had pushed him back. Mulder put up no fight to keep going; he knew that his son must be attended to.
"Mommy is coming, Willie!" Scully called as she held her bra onto her, and turned so Mulder could hook it back up without anything being revealed. Scully sighed heavily, pulling on her shirt.
She gave an apologetic smile to Mulder who had also just pulled on his shirt at the same time as her. The two parents both made their way into the nursery to find their son on his feet, holding on to the bar of the crib. He let out a huge smile and a babyish giggle once his parents had entered the room.
"Hey there, Buddy!" Mulder waved to his son in a father like manner causing William to giggle much louder.
"Aw Willie, lookie you're standing," Scully smiled picking up her son. William grabbed at her face, feeling the softness of her skin. "You love to grab Mommy's face huh, sweetheart?" He cooed, grabbing her face again and then reaching for his father. A loud 'Ahh' came escaped his lips as he stretched to be held by his father. Scully smiled, handing William over to Mulder.
"How's Mommy and Daddy's big boy? Did you have a good nap," William kicked and reached for Mulder's nose with curious blue eyes, he gave it the tightest squeeze he could give with his little chubby hands.
"He loves you, Mulder," Scully smiled to her two favorite men. "I'm going to go make lunch for us, I'm starving," Scully checked her watch, seeing that it was 11:21. She just realized how completely hungry she was.
Scully left Mulder to play alone with his son in the nursery. Scully walked out into the kitchen and pulled out the bologna from the refrigerator, along with the cheese and miracle whip. She threw her hands onto the counter and stared at it, and then she changed her stare to one at the phone on the wall.
She walked over to it, dialing the all too very familiar number, and then an all too familiar voice picked up on the other line.
"Dana, is this you," The voice spoke, softly and gently into the other end.
"Yes, mom it's me."
"Are you doing alright? Why did you call me and tell me not to come this morning? How's little Will," Her mom asked inquisitively. She was right to worry and ask all these questions after all that had happened over the past months.
"I'm fine. The baby's fine. We're all fine."
"Oh, then why did you skip work today?"
"Actually, that's what I'm calling you about. How fast would you be able to make it over here?"
"Well, I just got out of the shower. I can probably be over in a half hour."
"Thanks, mom. I love you."
"I love you too, sweetie. Bye."
As Scully hung up the phone, she felt relieved that she was about to tell her mother. She was going to be so happy that Mulder had returned to her, even if it was for a short while.

Just as Scully finished up making her and Mulder's sandwiches she grabbed water from the fridge; Mulder ran out of the nursery.
"Let's get Mommy," Mulder shouted, holding William above him, having him soar through the air with the support of Mulder's hands. William screamed in delight as he flew towards his mother in the kitchen.
"Mulder," Scully raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how nervous you are making me?" She asked taking her son who was reaching for her.
"I'm not going to drop him, Scully," Mulder sort of apologized.
"No, I know you wouldn't," She shook her head, placing a kiss on William temple while he reached for Scully's cross necklace and held it in his hands, examining it. She walked over into the living room to place William in his playpen while Mulder sat down and ate his bologna sandwich. "I called my mother," Scully called out from the living room to Mulder.
"Oh, when's she going to get here," Mulder managed to get out with a mouthful of sandwich.
"Well," she checked her watch. "She should be here in about, 20 more minutes."
"Good, I miss her too." Mulder ate the rest of his sandwich and Scully came to join him. He was starving for food like that for a long time, even though it was only a sandwich. While in New Mexico, he hadn't had much food that was actually made with somewhat care.
After Mulder had finished his sandwich he waited for Scully to finish hers as well. Once finished, her wiped the miracle whip from the corners of her lips, making her smile.

Okay, so I almost wrote some severe smut. I don't know if you guys want that, but if you do.. I guess i could write it. I mean, it does make sense; they haven't seen each other for seven very long painful and hard months... and they dont have that much longer to be together. Just say the word. Scully's birthday is tomorrow. I'm probably making a birthday fic for her... but please review this and tell me what you think. :D
--A. PS. the whole "would you marry me thing"... yeah... there's a point to that coming after Mulder leaves. you shall see.
