He twitched in surprise as the room door opened suddenly making a cranky noise. It was a nurse with a file. He stepped close to the bedside, his hands now folded against his chest.
He watched carefully as the nurse checked her IV and then placed the file on the bedside table.
"She will wake up anytime soon…" she looked at him as if she has read his mind. He smiled in response.
"But she will still, feel a little bit drowsy" she added later.
"If her bleeding stops and she settles down well you guys can go home early morning!"
"Right. Thanks" he smiled again as he sat on the guest chair. He took her file and flipped page by page carefully.

Fox Mulder Flipped the pages of the manila file he was checking early that day. He was waiting for Scully, for her to bring his breakfast and already his stomach was trembling with hunger.
To his relief, he heard the basement door open. Sooner she arrived with two brown paper bags and a tall coffee.
"Mulder" she called his name as she placed brown paper bags and the paper cup on his desk.
"Haven't you ever thought how bad it is to ask a pregnant woman to bring you food especially when the queues are long in the morning rush hour" she asked playfully as she turned around and leaned against his desk.
He laughed in response. Now getting up from the chair as he pulled his shirt sleeves up, he walked slowly and stood in front of her.
"I thought that the old ladies at the cafe would let you skip the queue" He chuckled as he got closer to her.
"Mulder…." She exclaimed. "Have you forgotten I don't show up yet! I don't carry a signboard saying I'm pregnant!" She smiled as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Hmmm…" he hummed as he leaned towards her, resting his forehead on hers. "My bad"
"I had a feeling that I would be forgiven for this" he whispered as he pulled out a bar of Lindt from his pocket. "Would the baby approve this?" he asked playfully as he watched her eyes light up in delight.
"Oh Mulder" she jumped in joy as she grabbed the chocolate bar from his hand. "you are spoiling me!"
He smiled at her gracefully, stroking her cheeks, for the entire time he had known her this was the best time for him, to see her happy; he felt as if he is getting a tear in his eyes.
