"I think I am pregnant." Monica Reyes whispered to her best friend, Dana Scully. It was Thursday night and the girls were stretched out in the upstairs playroom watching TV.
"Are you serious?" Scully sat upright on the broken down couch, "Mon?"
"Yeah." Monica nodded from her spot on the floor and drew her knees up to her chin. Scully couldn't find the words to speak, so she slid off the couch and wrapped an arm around her best friend. Monica rested her head against Scully's shoulder and fought back tears, "God, what if I am?"
"Honey you gotta take a test and find out." Scully advised her, "If you are though, you know I'm with you, whatever you decide." Scully said, searching for the words to say. She played with Monica's curls and almost laughed at the irony of the Pampers commercial on the TV.
"John is gonna hate me. My parents are gonna kill me." Monica whispered.
"John isn't gonna hate you." Scully told her.
"I always dreamed of this happening, I just thought it'd be farther down the road." Monica told her.
"Yeah. You know, I think John would be great with a kid. I mean look at how good he is with Luke." Scully said, speaking of her friend's little brother.
"I know." Monica sniffled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Charlie Scully asked from the doorway.
"Nothing Charles." Scully said and gave him a look.
"Monica?" Charlie asked, Monica Reyes was Charlie's bud, she always took his and his best friend Luke Doggett's side in the fights against the older kids.
"It's okay Charlie." Monica said and smiled when the red headed boy came over and gave her a hug.
"D'John make you sad? Cause Luke and I could shoot him with our Nerf guns." Charlie told her as he hugged Monica tightly. Both girls chuckled and Monica ruffled his hair.
"No, John didn't make me sad. Go do your homework squirt."
"Okay." Charlie said and smiled up at his big sister before running off.
"He is such a sweetheart." Monica said as she grabbed a pillow from the couch and hugged it to her chest.
"I think he has a crush on you." Scully said and laughed slightly.
"If only I wasn't seven years older, taken and potentially carrying a life form." Monica said dryly and Scully gave her a look, "I know, I know I need to take a test."
"Monica, your Dad is here." Mrs. Scully called from the living room.
"Okay Mrs. Scully." Monica hollered back. Slipping on her shoes, she grabbed her coat and her book bag, and gave Scully a quick hug.
"You call me if you need anything." Scully said and Monica nodded.
"Love ya, Danes."
"Love ya too, Mon." Scully said and watched her friend run down the stairs. Flopping back down on the worn out couch, Scully rested her leg on the back of it. She couldn't fathom being in Monica's shoes and bit her lip, her thoughts drifting to Mulder and how their relationship was progressing.
Scully wanted to be with Mulder in every way, but she knew that if they took that step, potential mishaps could occur and she wasn't ready to deal with those. Scully's eyes closed slightly and she noted the time. CSI was on, but she didn't have the energy to flip the channel. She had conquered three tests today, Geometry, US History and Spanish. She was fairly certain her Junior year would be the death of her.

"Morning, Beautiful." Fox Mulder whispered in Dana Scully's ear. The air was thick with the smell of coffee and a Danish. Scully forced her eyes open, she was on the couch in the playroom.
"What time is it?" She asked as she forced herself to sit up.
"Five thirty, relax, we're swimming in time." Mulder reassured her.
"Mmkay, why'd you wake me up then?" Scully asked as she fell back on the couch.
"Well for one, I didn't want your breakfast to get cold and two, I was wondering if you knew what was going on with Monica." Mulder asked.
"Why?" Scully asked, sitting up right, now wide awake.
"I caught her walkin' up the hill on my way here. I gave her a lift to John's. She was crying and in her pajama's. She looked really upset." Mulder explained as he tore open the prepackaged breakfast treat.
"Fuck." Scully muttered under her breath.
"What's wrong?" Mulder asked.
"Nothing." Scully lied and then sighed, looking up at him, "Okay, something, but I can't really saying anything until I know for sure."
"Scully you know I won't tell anyone."
"I know... it's a girl thing Mulder." Scully said, coming up with the best excuse her tired brain could come up with.
"Alright." Mulder shrugged and went along with it. He handed her, her breakfast and grabbed the remote, turning on Katie Couric.
"I'm going to go grab a shower." Scully said and stood up a short while later.
"Mmkay." Mulder said, thoroughly wrapped up in the previous days basketball scores.
Scully went to her room and grabbed her cell phone, sending a text to Monica. She tossed the phone on her desk and grabbed a pair of jeans and her old YMCA soccer shirt. She took a long, hot shower to clear her head, she almost forgot that she had to go to school, until she got out and realized she had very little time to get herself ready for the day.
Thirty minutes later, Mulder and Scully flew out the front door of the Scully household. Scully's damp hair freezing in the cold winter wind. It was the Friday before Christmas break and things were bound to be crazy at school.
"I love the last day of school before a break. Everyone is so much more enjoyable." Scully chuckled as Mulder pulled into the Junior parking lot.
"I know, right? John isn't here yet." Mulder noted that Doggett's regular parking space remained empty. Mulder turned off the engine and climbed out, grabbing his book bag, he met Scully by the tailgate, "Let's do this thing."
"Hey guys!" A fellow junior girl sprinted to catch up with them.
"Hey Lily." Scully smiled at her fellow classmate.
"Dana, could I persuade you to give me your notes from Brit Lit? I'll give them back to you at Lunch. I swear that class is going to kill me." Lily pleaded as they walked into the warm school.
"Sure Lily, just make sure I get them back." She pulled out her folder of notes and handed them to Lily.
"Thanks Danes, you're a life saver." Lily said and sprinted off towards the library.
Mulder sat down on the stairs and Scully sat next to him, the stairs had officially been claimed by their group of friends at the beginning of their freshman year. They were always open in the morning because they lead up to the second tier of bleachers in the gym. "You're too nice Scully."
"Why? Cause I let Lily borrow my notes?" Scully asked.
"And you let Brittney borrow your Geometry notes the day before that. You gave Andrea your last few note cards in Spanish. You gave Ashley a hair tie in gym. You're like a modern day Mother Theresa." Mulder explained.
"Yeah, that's me. I'm a regular saint." Scully brushed him off.

At lunch Mulder found Scully, "Hey." He whispered in her ear, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing a kiss to the back of her neck.
"Hi." She smiled, in her hands were her lunch money and her notes, returned by Lily. Scully smiled and turned, resting her head on his chest.
"I have something for you." Mulder held up a piece of paper.
"Mulder, what is that?" Scully said and reached for the note, but Mulder pulled it away.
"You have to promise you won't read this until you are in your next period." Mulder said, holding the note above her head.
"Mulder, I promise." She said and reached for the note, Mulder let her have it.
"What do you want for lunch?" Mulder asked as he grabbed a thing of fries.
"Just grab me a thing of fries." Scully said, the rest of the menu made her want to puke, she couldn't wait till she was away from high school cafeteria food.
"I wish they would bring back open lunch." Mulder said as he grabbed a cheese burger. Scully nodded in agreement, grabbing two bottled waters from the case. Mulder shook his head at Scully and she put her money away, sighing and not putting up a fight as Mulder bought their food.
They went to their usual spot, in the corner of the actual cafeteria, most kids ate in the multipurpose room, so there was always an empty table in the cafeteria.
"I wonder where Monica and John are." Scully commented off handedly as she shook a packet of salt and tore it open.
"I don't know. Want to stop by there after school?" Mulder asked.
"Sure." Scully smiled.
Mulder leaned over and kissed her lightly, "How have I put that off for so long today?" Mulder mumbled against her lips.
"Six inch rule guys." Mr. Harnett called and Scully laughed, Mr. Harnett was like a super sized kid. He taught tenth grade earth science and was the easiest guy in the world to get a long with.
"Hey Mr. Harnett." Mulder called and Scully gave a little wave.
"Hey Mulder. Hi Dana. Where's your partners in crime?" Mr. Harnett asked as he approached the table.
"Missing In Action, apparently." Mulder explained.
"I think Monica was sick. And if Monica's sick, John probably has it too." Scully explained and Mr. Harnett nodded as the bell rang, signaling that there half hour break was over.
Scully pouted playfully as she parted ways with Mulder, heading off to her Spanish class while Mulder was off to his Trig class.
Scully ran to the portable, trying not to fall on the ice. She made it inside and slid into her desk as the bell rang. They weren't doing anything important today, just watching a video. While the rest of the class goofed off, Scully reached into her pocket and pulled out Mulder's note, squinting to read it in the dimly lit room.
Scully... Dana...
I don't write notes to girlfriends, you know this, cause I always made you write my replies to girls in Elementary School. Remember that? John still gives me hell for making you do that, apparently I wasn't being very gentlemanly, but hey, I was ten, what did I know? Anyways, I am sitting here in my lovely second period class, keyboarding. What kind of hoax are they pushing on us? Seriously, I have to take this class with a bunch of dumb freshman because my guidance counselor screwed up my schedule. Anyways, so while everyone in here is fucking around on the computers, cause Mr. L is asleep, I decided I'd write you. I know this isn't fancy. I doubt it could be considered a love note and yet here it is. You're boy friend is such a fool for you, be proud.
I love you Dana Katherine Scully. A whole hell of a lot. I am the luckiest guy in the world, cause I've fallen head of heels for the most beautiful girl. Who also happens to be my best friend.
Alright, now Mr. L is awake and yelling' at all of us. yikes. well better go.
I love you,
-M.
Scully grinned hugely, playing with Mulder's class ring that hung on a necklace. She folded the note back up and slid it into her jeans pocket. She rested her chin in the palm of her hand and her red curls fell forward, curtaining her face. She couldn't stop thinking of Mulder and how much she wanted to hug him in that very moment. It wasn't the most well written note she had ever seen, but it was more beautiful than she could've ever dreamed of. It was written by Mulder, for her, and that made it all the more amazing.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*__*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*__*_*_*_*_*_
When the seventh period bell rang, Scully raced through the hallways to find Mulder, she found him standing by the stairwell, waiting for the hallway to clear out a little bit. She flew into his arms and he smiled, holding her close.
"That was the best thing you could've ever given me Fox Mulder." Scully said and leaned forward, kissing him lightly.
"I'm glad you liked it." Mulder smiled and kept his arm around her, as they braved the stairs.
"Just so ya know, I love you too." Scully smiled.
"I'm glad to hear that." Mulder smiled as they stopped at their lockers, exchanging the things they would need over break.
"Can we stop by John's?" Scully asked, her stomach felt heavy, like something was wrong.
"Yeah, sure. You worried about Monica?" Mulder asked as he slung his bag over his shoulder.
"Yeah." Scully whispered.
They walked out to the truck, which had gathered a light layer of snow, Scully climbed in and turned on the engine to warm it up, while Mulder cleared off his windshield. Mulder climbed in the cab and they rode in silence till they reached John's house.
"What. The. Fuck?" Mulder said when he pulled along side the road to park, the house was surrounded by cop cars. Scully and Mulder slid out of the truck and rushed towards the house.
"Ms. Doggett?" Scully called as they sprinted up the driveway, the blond haired woman stood talking to a police officer, "Ms. Doggett?"
"Oh Dana. Fox." Ms. Doggett said and fresh wave of tears hit her.
"What's wrong?" Mulder asked as they helped her to the step to sit down.
"Luke never got off the bus. No one has seen or heard from him since he left school."
"Why wasn't he with Charlie?" Scully asked, concerned for her little brother.
"Your mother called, Charlie went home sick at lunch." Ms. Doggett explained, "And I can't reach John."
"I'll call John." Mulder said and pulled out his phone. Scully sat beside Ms. Doggett, holding her hand.
"He's on his way." Mulder came back a few minutes later.
"Thank you." Ms. Doggett whispered as the police pulled her away to ask more questions.
"Oh my god." Scully whispered as she stood up, she walked over to Mulder and the two hugged tightly. "Oh my god." She whispered again as the world was turning to chaos around them.
