A/N: Like a genius I managed to lock myself out of my account. I completely forgot my password and somehow had the emails blocked so I couldn't reset it. Then when I realized it was blocked and I managed to reset my password but I had finals and papers and blah. Moral of the story I'm sorry it took so long and I should be updating a lot more and a lot sooner now that it's summer. I hope you enjoy this next chapter and reviews are welcome :)
"What's going on with you?"
"What do you mean?" Scully asked sitting at the table across from her sister.
"With you and Braden." She said looking over the rim of her cup as she sipped her coffee.
"Nothing's going on." Scully mimicked her sister's action and took a drink of her own coffee but averted her eyes away from Melissa.
"Dana, you can't hide things from me. I'm your sister." Scully was about to respond when Melissa added "and your best friend."
"Why do you think something is going on?"
"I've see the way you and Braden look at each other, or rather don't look at each other. You two act like complete strangers."
"I don't know what you-"
"Cut the crap, Dana." She said cutting her sister off. "Why won't you just tell me what's going on?"
Scully sighed. "We're just going through a rough patch."
"And?"
"And what? That's it."
Melissa looked at her sister knowing there was more. "You know when we were kids and I could always tell when you were lying, just by the look on your face; you have that look now."
"I don't really know how to say it."Scully said beginning to cave.
"Just be direct." Melissa said anxiously awaiting what was sure to be something big.
"I…" she paused. "I cheated on Braden" she said in one breath, afraid she'd lose her nerve if she didn't say it quickly.
Melissa sat in awe looking at her sister in disbelief. "You wha-when-wi-who?" all her questions seemed to flow together.
"It's not like you think, I mean we didn't… you know,"
"Have sex?" Melissa said.
"Yeah, that."
"Then what did you do?"
"Well," She sighed "we came pretty close."
"How close?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yeah, if you want to determine if it was cheating or not."
"It was definitely close enough to be considered cheating." Scully reassured her sister.
"Obviously there was kissing," Suddenly Melisa was a fourteen year old girl, "Was there tongue?" Scully nodded. "What about clothes removal?" She nodded. "How much?" Melissa asked wide eyed at her sister's confession. Scully shrugged embarrassed to say. "Shirts?" another nod. "Pants?" much to Melissa's surprise there was a fourth nod. "Panties?" finally Scully shook her head. "So who is this mystery man you were making out with half naked?"
"Do you remember my old partner?" She asked sipping her coffee hoping her sister wouldn't make it a big deal.
"Agent Mulder?!" Melissa said shocked. Scully looked down at the table and nodded in shame. "When?"
"Last week." Scully said barely above a mumble.
"You made out with Mulder." Melissa said still in disbelief. "You got his shirt and pants off and then you just stopped? Why?" Scully raised her eyes up to look at her sister. "I'm serious." Melissa smiled. "I've seen him, I've thought about it." she admitted. Scully half laughed at how much more open her sister was with these things.
"Because I'm married." Scully said again. "And some of us actually take our marriage vows seriously."
She tried not to take that comment personal. "Braden doesn't." she said almost out of spite.
"What? You can't possibly know th-"
"How long has it been since you two have had sex?"
"I'd rather not say."
"Exactly. Do you really think he's gone all this time not getting any? I've seen his secretary, she's hot. There is no way he's not hitting that."
"That is my husband you're talking about." Scully reminded her. "and we're just going through a rough patch since-well you know since when. Neither of us have been 'in the mood'"
"But that was almost-"
"I know how long ago that was" She snapped.
"Well there's no way he's not getting some side action." She said knowing she needed to move on from that last topic. Melissa wondered if it was time for her sister to start talking about it but she really didn't want to push it so she decided to lighten the conversation. "Is Mulder still in town?"
"I don't know. Probably. Maybe. Why?"
"Well if Braden is getting some action why can't you?"
"Please tell me you're not suggestion what I think you are."
"I am. You won't be doing anything Braden's not doing… well technically, Mulder. Braden's not doing Mulder, because you will be." She with a cheeky smile, still feeling like a fourteen year old. "Think about how much fun you had last time you saw him, now think about going 'all the way'" Melissa said.
"'All the way'? How old are we?" Scully said trying to move off topic.
"Fine. Think about how much fun you would have fucking him." Scully started chocking on her coffee surprised by her sister's language. "Where is the downside?" Melissa asked.
"I'm m-a-rri-ed" she emphasized trying to get the point across to her sister.
"But you know you want to," Scully was silent. "look sis, I would love to stay and chat, but I need to go." She grabbed her keys and purse off the table then stood up. "Let me know the next time you see Mulder." She winked and walked away.
"It's not going to happen." Scully yelled after her sister knowing it was no use. "It's never gonna happen." She said to herself sipping her coffee.
