a/n: Okay so Ashley is going to kill me for writing this instead of A Baby Changes Everything, but Nickelback practically demanded it. This was inspired by 'Animals' by Nickelback, and life in my small town. I scraped this chapter like six times, before I came up with a viable idea.
Rating: Definitely T. So if you're a 12 year old go away. :]
Dedication: ALL YOU GUYS WHO REVIEW! (hugs)

"So there's a party tonight." Mulder said, they lay on the Scully's living room floor on their last real day of break. Tomorrow was Sunday and they had too many commitments to really enjoy it.
"Where at?" Scully asked as she was wrapping up her geometry work sheet, only two more problems and then the homework she had put off for the last two weeks was done.
"The Tracks." Mulder said, "It's too cold for the field." Mulder explained as he scribbled an answer in his APUSH book.
"Polk Road? Not a big party then?" Scully commented.
"Nah, just a small gathering of friends." Mulder said. Polk Road was out in the middle of the country, near the county line.
"Alright. I'm in." Scully agreed.
Mulder smiled, "Admit it, you love going to parties."
"Me. Surely not. I'm Dana Scully, the good girl who helps out at church and watches every kid on the block." Scully said and scrunched up her nose.
Mulder laughed, he leaned over and kissed her lightly, "So I'll pick you up at ten." Mulder said and grinned.
"Sure." Scully smiled, "Now get out of here and do your homework." Scully shoved him.
"Oh so I'm just your ride now?" Mulder asked pretending to be wounded.
"Amongst other things." Scully said and raised an eyebrow, the both laughed.
"Have fun with Monica, baby." Mulder kissed her forehead and then hopped up. He shoved his books into his bag an slung it over his shoulder, walking out of the Scully house.
Scully finished her worksheet and shoved it into her folder as Monica opened the house door, "Dana?"
"Living room." Scully called back as she shoved her things into her bag. Her mother had taken Charlie to the mall to do some returns and for Charlie to spend his Christmas money.
"Hey." Monica flopped down on the couch, her messenger bag landing beside her and a cup of coffee in her hand.
"I'm sure drinking that is really healthy." Scully rolled her eyes as she stretched her legs and sat next to her friend.
"Shut up." Monica said as she sat the drink down on the coffee table.
"So let me see it!" Scully said and Monica reach in her bag and produced a ultrasound picture. Dana snatched it up and stared at her future god son or daughter.
"He looks like John." Scully said and they both laughed, Dana handed the picture back to her.
"So how's it going with Mulder?" Monica asked her.
"It's great. Really, really great." Scully said, trying not to be mushy, she didn't want to be known as one of those girls, "How's it going with John?"
"To be honest, I don't really know. I mean he's been great about going with me to the appointment and stuff. I am just kind of letting him lead right now." Monica said, her eyes welling up with tears, she wiped them away with the back of her hand, "Damn hormones."
"Here." Scully handed her a tissue, "You've been faced with a sucky situation Mon, it's okay to cry." Scully gave her a hug.
"Thanks." Monica wiped her tears.
"So I have your Christmas present." Scully hopped up from the couch and sprinted up the stairs to her room, getting the present from under her bed, she rushed back downstairs, with two gift wrapped boxes.
"Dana." Monica breathed as she opened her gifts, "It's too much."
"It is not." Scully rolled her eyes as Monica looked at her new camera, "I don't want you to miss one second with the baby." She explained as Monica opened the other box and found a journal, "I know it's gonna be tough, so get all your feelings and crap out. Write it down and get it out of your head."
"It's perfect Danes." Monica hugged her tightly. She then reached into her bag and pulled out a box, handed it to Dana.
"Oh Mon." Scully said as she opened it up, it was the last Jane Austen novel she needed, Mansfield Park.
"I know it was missing from your collection and I found it at that one bookstore the last time I was in the city." Monica explained as she sipped her coffee.
"Thank you, I love it." Scully smiled.
"You're welcome. So what do you have going for the rest of today?" Monica asked.
"Mulder is picking me up at ten for a party at the tracks." Scully explained.
"Cool. Dance hard for me." Monica said and Scully nodded, "I feel huge."
"You are not huge. If I didn't know, I'd never be able to guess." Scully told her seriously.
"You can totally tell if I'm not careful." Monica explained and lifted her shirt a little bit.
"Hey! I have an idea." Scully grabbed Monica's new camera and flicked it on, "Go stand against the wall and lift your shirt."
"Oh cool." Monica caught on, she rushed over and did as she was directed. Scully snapped the picture.
Scully turned on the radio and let the sounds of Crash 107.6 fill the house, Nickelback came on and girls danced around and took pictures. They were laughing and tossing popcorn at each other by the time Mrs. Scully arrived home with Charlie.
"Good afternoon girls, having fun?" Mrs. Scully asked, laughing at Monica and Dana who were standing on the couch, each armed with a bowl of popcorn, she turned the radio down and then off.
"Hi Mom!" Scully said and giggled.
"Hi Mrs. Scully." Monica said with a blush.
"Clean this up please and I'll make dinner. Monica are you staying?" Mrs. Scully asked.
"Oh no. I better head home, but thanks Mrs. Scully." Monica said and Mrs. Scully escaped to the kitchen.
"Hi Monica!" Charlie smiled as he clutched his prizes from the mall.
"Hi Charlie." Monica said as Dana flicked a piece of popcorn at her little brother.
"DAY-NUH!" Charlie whined and Scully tossed more at him. Monica laughed and escaped the house while she had a chance.
"Dana Katherine! Quit torturing your little brother and clean up!" Mrs. Scully hollered from the kitchen.
"Yes Ma'am!" Scully called back and sighed as Charlie ran upstairs to the play room.
When Dana had finished cleaning up the living room, she walked into the kitchen and hopped up on the counter, next to where her mother was working, "What can I do for you Miss Dana?" Mrs. Scully asked as she cut up the cheese for the homemade Mac & Cheese.
"Nothin'." Scully shrugged and bounced her heels against the cupboard.
"So did you have a good day?" Mrs. Scully asked as she stirred the boiling pot of noodles.
"I did." Scully smiled, "Mulder and I got our homework done and well, you saw the fun Monica and I had."
"That I did." Mrs. Scully said and chuckled lightly, she then looked up into her daughter's eyes, "Did she mention how the Doggett's were?"
"John's fine. She didn't mention Mrs. Doggett. I guess they are just getting by as much as they can." Scully explained.
"I think I might take them some lunch tomorrow after service." Mrs. Scully commented as she drained the noodles.
"That's nice of you." Scully said as she grabbed a noodle from the colander and popped it in her mouth.
"Dana Katherine! You're gonna get yourself burnt." Mrs. Scully wacked her daughter's leg and grinned.
"Mom, I think I am going crazy." Scully said as she hopped off the counter, grabbing a water from the fridge.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Scully asked.
"Since Mulder and I started going out, I feel so different." Scully explained as she rested her hip against the counter, taking a sip of her drink.
"You are different honey." Mrs. Scully said and gave her a reassuring smile.
"How so?" Scully asked, curious for her mother's perspective. Normally she'd talk to Melissa, but she was too far away to really realize how much Dana had changed.
"You're happier Dear, you carry yourself differently. Not to say you were lethargic before, but you are so full of life now." Mrs. Scully explained, "I see the way your eyes light up when he looks at you." Mrs. Scully said and raised her eyebrow, it was easy to tell where she got it from.
"Mom!" Scully exclaimed and blushed slightly, dipping her head.
"It's a good thing Dana." Mrs. Scully said as she tilted Dana's head up with her pointer finger.
"Thanks Mom." Dana said and hugged her.
"I love you Dana. You're growing up so fast." Mrs. Scully said as she rubbed her daughter's back gently.
"It feels slow." Scully admitted.
"It's flying." Mrs. Scully said as she turned putting the cheese in with the noodles.
"I love you Mom." Scully kissed her mother's cheek and then grabbed the plates from the counter and began to set the table, "What are you going to do when Charlie's my age?"
"After the last one of you leaves?" Mrs. Scully asked and Dana nodded, "I think your father plans on having me committed."
Scully laughed, "I'll come visit, lots."
"You say that now, but when you are out there, it's going to be different Dana. You'll be going classes and spending time with Fox or whoever you're with. You'll be having a life of your own." Mrs. Scully said.
"So says you." Dana said stubbornly, "Anyways, enough of that future talk. For tonight I am sixteen and at home."
"That you are."
After dinner Dana took a long bath. She had time to kill before Mulder came to pick her up anyways. When she was done, she climbed out of the tub and began to get ready. She straightened her hair and did her makeup. She got dressed in a ripped pair of jeans and a long sleeve layered shirt. She pulled on her black converse and waited for the familiar noise of Mulder's truck. She lay on her bed reading the book Monica had gotten her, her mother called a 'good night' through the door and Scully glanced at her clock, it was 9:30, Mulder would be there in a half hour. She played with the ring around her neck while she waited, she felt full of anticipation.
Mulder's truck idled in the driveway at ten oh one and Scully pushed her window open and jumped the few feet to the ground. She landed in the lightly layer of snow, balancing herself with the gutter pipe. She sprinted towards Mulder's truck, pulling the door open and hopping inside.
"Hey Beautiful." Mulder wrapped a hand around her neck and pulled her to him in a furious kiss. They sat like that for nearly a minute, tongues dueling and hands wandering. Finally, Mulder got enough will power and pulled away, panting.
"Hi." Scully said and chuckled lightly.
Mulder laughed and put the truck in reverse, pulling out onto Main Street, he sped off in the direction of Polk Road. Scully turned on the radio and leaned against Mulder as they drove, running her nails up and down the inside of his thigh, "If you don't stop that, I'm gonna have to pull over and have my way with you." Mulder said through gritted teeth.
"Are you hearing an objection?" Scully asked crossing her arms.
"If I hadn't promised Alex I'd actually show, I'd take you up on that." Mulder said as he turned down the dark country road. They could see the lights of the bonfire up ahead and Scully grinned, she could hear the thumping music and the laughter of their classmates.
Polk Road was sandwiched between train tracks and the river, with the barn and a small field in between them, it was the perfect hideaway from the world. Mulder parked his truck with the mess of vehicles and they jumped out. Scully took Mulder's hand and ran towards the group of kids congregated around the fire, dancing to music.
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothin' wrong with it
Just actin' like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)
Mulder wrapped his arms around Scully as they danced skin to skin, singing along with the music like all their friends. "Are you trying to kill me?" Mulder asked as Scully grinded her hips against his.
"Is it working?" Scully asked panting in his ear.
"Damn straight it is." Mulder held her against him as he kissed her neck.
"Let's get out of here." Scully said, the party held no interest for her, all she wanted was Mulder and she wanted him now. Mulder took her hand and lead her back to the truck, they climbed in and Mulder peeled out, stirring up dust, they headed down the road and Mulder finally found a old road that was empty. Scully almost attacked him as he put the truck in park, leaving it running to stay warm. Mulder pushed her back on the seat and kissed her lips, her neck, trailing down to the opening of her shirt, running his hands under her shirt and across her stomach, tracing the line of her bra. Scully almost growled when he stopped touching her and pulled away. Scully shoved him back against the driver's side door, torture could work both ways.
She sat on his lap, grinding her hips against him as she kissed his neck and traced her nails down his chest, she gave into temptation and removed his shirt, he slid his hands up her side and began to work on the buttons of her jeans.
There was a knock on the window and Mulder jumped, causing Scully's forehead to hit his, "FUCK" they both exclaimed.
"Open up." The officer said.
"Shit." Mulder muttered as Scully fixed the buttons on her pants.
"This isn't a place to have sex. Head home Bucko." The cop told him.
"Yes sir." Mulder blushed.
"Now." The officer said and Mulder nodded, putting the truck in gear and heading back towards town.
"Oh my god." Scully muttered.
"It could of been worse." Mulder said.
"How?!" Scully exclaimed.
"Could of been Principal Daniels." Mulder shrugged and Scully whacked his shoulder.
"Relax Dana. We're probably like the twelfth couple he did that to tonight." Mulder explained and Scully made another face, "I'm going to shut up now." Mulder said and silenced himself.
He parked in front of the Scully house, "I'm sorry we got caught." Mulder told her as he traced his finger over her jaw, "But I'm not sorry for what we were doing."
"Me either." Scully said and smiled, she leaned over and kissed him.
"I love you." Mulder whispered.
"I love you too." Scully said and kissed him again.
