The day seemed to drag for Scully, she couldn't wait for their dinner date. When they finally finished work it was 7pm, but it hadn't spoiled their plans.
Scully rushed back home to get ready she saw her friend Amy who looked concerned.
"Hey sorry I didn't call, but I was out all last night on a stakeout" Scully hated lying.
"I was just worried that's all, but I have to go back tomorrow" Amy explained
Scully suddenly felt guilty
"sorry I haven't been around much"
"it's ok but keep in touch" Amy smiled
"I will, I'm really sorry but I have to go out again" Scully hugged her friend and then rushed to get ready.

It was half 7 by the time they got to the Italian restaurant. It was quite busy, but Mulder had asked the waitress if they could sit somewhere quieter in the corner of the restaurant.
Once they had sat down, the waitress handed them their menus, and went off with their food and wine order.
Scully looked across the candlelit table at Mulder, who seemed miles away.
"What are you thinking about Mulder?" Scully asked
"about us"
"you don't regret last night, do you?" Scully looked worried
"No I don't Scully, just wondering why its taken us seven years to get together" he laughed
Scully laughed looking relieved.
Mulder reached across the table and took her hand.
"I'm glad we don't have to worry about being seen here, we can just relax"
"Me too Mulder" Scully smiled
The waitress suddenly appeared with their wine order and poured them both a glass before heading off back to the bar.
"A toast, to us" Mulder raised his glass
"To us Mulder" Scully clinked her glass against his and smiled.

A couple of months later, Scully hadn't been feeling well she kept being sick. Soon realizing she could be pregnant Scully felt shocked it wasn't planned so it was unexpected, she placed her hand on her stomach and cried tears of joy. Scully hoped Mulder would be pleased.
