Chapter 1
The sun. Mulder looked up out of the window of the small motel room. Looking out into the world. Not free yet. But Can't give up. A small smile etched it's way across Mulder's' face. The first time he had seen daylight for a few days. Locked in an enclosed cell with only the last sweet kiss of his love left to look forward to while awaiting the lethal injection that would have meant his end. The relief was a brief wonderful feeling. To be alive. Life. Love. He finally felt in that moment, the incredible gift of life. But his smile quickly faded, knowing all too well that the dream he shared with his Dana, to live their life in peace, would never happen.
A sigh escaped his lips upon looking back at his sleeping beauty, Dana Scully, naked, wrapped up in the sheets which witnessed the first night of love between the two earlier that night. Mulder knew that they would never have a normal life. The dangerous things that they have seen, the 'Truth', is a calling duty to stop the very thing that Fox Mulder searched his entire life for. He owed it to himself for all the sacrifices he had made to not let the occurrence which the Cigarette-smoking-man spoke of. Men like him would never stop to keep what he and Dana knew secret.
'Others have to know'. He thought as he lost himself in the sight of his lover. Forever. Forever he felt he could stare at her, gazing upon her tamed beauty. Her delicate fingers entwined within the sheets, and her face glowing with the pooling light softly shining through the window. Forever. Forever he could desire her. Forever he would desire her. Forever. Her petal-like skin pressed intimately against an object which Mulder envied.
The daydream became suddenly so real as Scully gently flickered open her eyes, lit up by the morning sun. Mulder's body was liquefied by just the delicate movement of Dana's eyes, which would out-shine even the iconic butterfly resting on a pretty flower. The smile, on Mulder's face was suddenly brought back to life 'Maybe there is hope', the words he whispered, brought back to life along with it. As he watched Dana sweetly turn to face him sitting in the chair by her side. The smile, was returned by her as she saw the smile that he wore, he quivered, breath quickened, he melted at the beautiful face before him. Scully yawned innocently as she slowly appreciated the sunshine on her flesh.
Scully at up in bed, glancing once euphorically at Mulder before she reached for the bedside clock "6:43am". "...Shouldn't we leave? It seems quiet out." She climbed out of bed, clutching the sheets as she walked into the bathroom in a cute attempt to retain her modesty.
Snapping out of his daydream, and a quick view of the small of Scully's back. Mulder reached across the floor, grabbing the pair of black socks he discarded earlier that night and his boots. Water began running in the bathroom, and Mulder leant over in the hard chair to take a peek in the bathroom, only to fall out of the chair and on to the floor with a lazy thud. Taking Scully by surprise, she peered in around the door, rolling her eyes at him and smiling as she closed the door so that Mulder wouldn't see her until she was fully dressed. He sighed comically and began pulling the socks over his bare feet.
A little later...
Mulder and Scully emerge from the inside of the small room, squinting in the bright daylight, Scully is the first to step outside, waiting for Mulder and looking out into the road in front of them. They both take a final loving look to each other as they walk to the car they drove there in yesterday, in the clothes they wore yesterday.
"I'll drive" Mulder noted.
