"Mulder!" Scully giggled as he poked her nose with the paintbrush, leaving a sloppy splotch of white paint behind.
She swiped at him in retaliation as he tried to swat her hand away. But she was too fast for him, and he wound up with a white streak across his face.
He smiled mischievously, distracting her long enough for him to paint a smiley face over her growing belly. She looked down and grinned goofily. "Mulder, how much paint has actually made it onto the house?"
He looked himself over. "Well, not much, that's for sure."
"Okay, we have to at least finish this side of the house today. Deal?"
He reached out to shake her hand, but when she pulled away, her hand was coated in white paint. "No fair!" She cried indignantly, running after him as he rounded the back corner of the house.
"You'll never catch me!" He called gleefully over his shoulder.
She sputtered to a stop, panting. Mulder was nowhere in sight. "Mulder?"
She felt his arms snake around her. "Surprise." He snuck a kiss on her temple.
"We're never going to finish painting the house," she sighed, but kissed him back, this time full on the mouth.
