Scully rang the bell and Mulder stepped back and looked at the camera, he lifted his middle finger and then smiled and waved.

"Not cool man…" came the voice of Langley through a speaker next to the camera. "We don't see you for weeks then you come round and get abusive."

Mulder grinned at the camera; "I brought Scully for a visit, surely that gets me a pass?"

There was a brief pause and then they heard a buzz as the door released, Scully pushed it open and Mulder winked at the camera as they entered.

"What's got you so…high-strung…" Langley asked as he walked around the corner and greeted his friends.

"What I can't just be pleased to see you?" Mulder asked with a smile.

Langley gave Mulder a hard look, "You're never that please to see us Mulder...something has changed." He looked over at Scully who also smiled and shrugged innocently.

Langley sighed and walked them though to the room where he knew Frohike and Byers were working, if these two where going to be weird he would need back up.

They walked in and his friends looked up to see their visitors, "Mulder and Scully are here…" Langley said pointlessly, "…I think they might be drunk."

Scully laughed, "We certainly aren't…"

Byers smiled at Scully, "Ignore our colleague Scully, to what do to own this pleasure?" he asked as he put down what he was doing and walked around the desk to meet them.

Mulder smiled at Scully and then at his friend, "Well, I guess we have…news."

Byers looked between the two and then for some reason intuitively glanced down at Scully's hand, "You can't be serious?" He asked to the confusion of Frohike and Langley.

Scully smiled, "Oh we are very serious."

Byers laughed and then pulled Mulder in for an uncharacteristically enthusiastic hug, "Thank God you finally pulled your head out of your ass!"

Mulder smiled in spite of himself, "Why do people keep saying that to me today?!"

Scully laughed happily and was surprised when Byers also wrapped his arms around her, she smiled warmly and hugged him back.

It was only then that Frohike and Langley saw the engagement ring on Byers back.

"Dana are you?" Frohike started to ask and then another synapsis fired in his brain and he looked at Mulder, "Did you?"

"No fucking way!" Langley cried.

Mulder rolled his eyes and smiled at his friend, "Now you understand why I'm so…high-strung?"

Langley smirked, "Man if I were you…actually for Scully's sake I won't finish that sentence."

Scully smiled at him as she moved away from Byers, "I appreciate the thought."

"You actually agreed to marry this loser?" Frohike asked with mock incredulity.

Scully grinned at Mulder, "What can I say? You may think he's a loser…but he's my loser."

Mulder smiled warmly at her and then moved to wrap his arms around her from behind; he sat perched on the edge of a table and then dropped his chin to Scully's shoulder. "I certainly am."

The three men stared at the couple in shock or a few seconds and then Frohike laughed, "I thought you were really fucking up for a while there Mulder…I genuinely thought…"

"You mean Diana?" Mulder asked.

Scully shook her head, "That's all been cleared up, we just had to learn to talk to each other…be honest."

Mulder nodded, "I can't believe I allowed Scully to doubt how much I need her...even for one second. You're right man, I did fuck up…big time."

"Has the Wicked Witch heard the news?" Langley asked and Scully grinned at him.

"Actually she was the first person to find out that Scully and I are together…" Mulder said grinning at them.

"You told her…first?" Byers asked with confusion.

"Not exactly…" Scully clarified, "…lets just say she walk in on us in a rather compromising position."

Their friends laughed, "I would have paid money the see that!" Frohike said. They all looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Not THAT!" he tried to explain nodding at Mulder and Scully, "I mean the look on Melisandre's face…when she saw…or I mean when she…" Frohike sighed and then looked at the group who were smiling at him and then they all burst out laughing.

"Oh man…you're so easy…" Langley said catching his breath.

"Fuck off, all of you…" Frohike said sulkily. He looked over to see Scully smiling warmly at him and he chuckled in spite of himself. "I'm happy…for both of you…you had better look after the delectable Agent Scully though Mulder, or you will have me to answer to."

Mulder smiled at his friend and tightened his arms around Scully's waist; "You don't need to worry about that 'Hike, you three know how much I love her."

"How much we love each other." Scully corrected, "This is a two way street now and I can promise you all that I'll be looking after him as well."


It was a little after 10pm when they finally got home, a little later than they had expected but still early enough for Mulder to grab an bottle of wine from the kitchen and flop down in front of the TV. After several minutes Scully came out having changed into sweatpants and a fitted tank top, and removed her make up and bra.

Mulder smiled at her as she joined him, leaning against his side and pulling her feet up on the couch next to her. "I think casual Scully is my favourite look on you…although of course I love them all."

Scully chuckled, "You prefer me in scruffy clothes with no make up?"

Mulder smirked, "Scully you look positively edible in casual clothes and no make up, have I ever told you how much I love your freckles?"

Scully looked up at his face with incredulity.

"I do…I love every one." Mulder pointed to a point on her right cheek and smiled, "…although I think this one is my favourite."

Scully laughed, "Now I know you're teasing me…"

"Maybe a little. But I do love your freckles and I do love casual no-makeup Scully. That Scully is all mine…that's the look that only I get to see…when we're at home like this sat in front of the TV." Mulder moved back along the couch and wrapped his arm around her waist. "That's what I tried to imagine when I was sat in my apartment on my own trying to think of an excuse to call you…or see you…but my imagination never live up to the reality. You're glowing...you're so beautiful."

Scully smiled, "I'm happy Mulder…and that is almost all you."

Mulder ran his hand under her t-shirt and rested in on her stomach just below her breasts.

"So everyone knows now…" Scully said quietly.

"It's too late to change you mind now." Mulder teased.

"Damn…" she whispered.

"I was thinking about the wedding…" Mulder said after a while. "I know we said small, but small can still be beautiful." Scully pinched his waist lightly and he grinned. "How do you feel about the Botanical Gardens?"

"I love that idea…there should be no more than thirty guests. It would be perfect in the summer." Scully said.

"So about two months?" Mulder asked.

"Two months, that sounds good…we'll need to get things moving quickly…my mother will panic when she hears the timeframe." Scully chuckled.

"I just want to be married…as soon as possible." Mulder said.

"Me too…no point in waiting longer than necessary, we have a lot of time to make up." Scully added. She paused for a few seconds, "What about your mom?"

Mulder look at the ceiling and then sighed loudly, "I was thinking about that too. You said Charlie and Tom are staying for a few days?"

Scully nodded.

"Well how about I join you for dinner tomorrow evening and then on Sunday I'll leave you three to you to spend some time together and go up to visit her?" Mulder suggested.

"You really think that's necessary?" She asked with concern.

"As long as you think Charlie and Tom won't be offended?" He asked brushing the hair from her face gently.

Scully shook her head, "No, not at all…we can explain the circumstances and they will understand. You'll be back be Sunday evening?"

"Maybe even sooner if it doesn't go well…" Mulder said with a sad smile.

Scully sighed, "I don't want you falling out with your mother over this…over me."

"I won't be Scully. I am happier with you than I ever dreamed possible. I want to explain this to my mother and give her a chance to be a part of our lives." He leaned to kiss her gently. "But I also need her to understand that you are non-negotiable, and I won't have you made to feel unwelcome or self-conscious. I need her to understand that if she forces me to make a choice there is no choice to be made…but also that we will always be here waiting for her."

Scully smiled down at him through her tears and quickly swiped them away, "If I tell you that I love you again will you start to get big-headed?"

"You can try and we'll find out…" He suggested with a leer as he glanced up and started making his way down her stomach.

Scully moved to lie on her back and smiled happily as she ran her hand through his hair.

"I love you." She whispered as he smiled up at her and continued he descent. He signalled her to lift her hips and quickly dispensed of her sweatpants and panties.

Mulder smiled against her hipbone, kissing and licking along the indent of her hip and then running his nose over her skin and luxuriating in her scent.

"Oooooo…I love you…" Scully gasped out when she felt his tongue slip down the fold of her leg at the top of her thigh.

Mulder lifted her knees and gently spread her legs a little wider as the tip of his tongue slid through her folds and brushed lightly over her clit.

"Love…you…" She gasped and giggled as she hardly managed to get the words out. "…So…much…" she added.

Mulder smiled and gently moved down to push his tongue deep into her core quickly before returning to collect and savour her fluid. He thoroughly probed her folds with his caresses, pausing occasionally to lightly kiss her skin. "You're perfect…" he murmured drunkenly, "…You're mine."

Scully dropped her head back on the arm of the couch as she felt his lips drop over her clit before flicking it quickly and firmly with the very tip of his tongue, the whole time his hand caresses and smoothed over the skin of her thighs and ass.

Scully gasped as her orgasm hit and she grasped his hair firmly and felt her body clench abruptly. As her body recovered she looked down and met Mulder's eyes, "Mine…"

Mulder grinned, "Always yours…I love you…"

Scully laughed happily, "Get up here…but lose these first…" she ordered pinching his shirt with mock disgust and running her foot up the material of his pants on his calf.

Mulder nodded and stood to rapidly remove his shirt, undershirt, pants, boxers and socks. Then he gently fell back against Scully's warm, soft body.

"That's better…" Scully murmured as she ran her hands over gently his ass, up his side and then over his chest, "…so beautiful…" she said with a soft smile.

Mulder smiled and kisses along her hairline and down to her ear, "You are beautiful Scully…I'm just so fucking grateful…" he whispered into her ear with a grin before he gently nipped her earlobe.

Scully laughed roughly and reached down to take his hot hard cock into her hand, "Mulder, you have a body that was made for sex…you get me hot just thinking about you…and I've thought about you a lot over the years…" she reached to stroke his balls for a few seconds and then tilted her hips to line his cock up with her entrance, "…you are beautiful…inside and out…and you're finally all mine."

Mulder smiled lovingly down at her and brushed his fingers gently over her lips before leaning closer and taking her bottom lip into his mouth, sucking on in lightly as he slowly slid inside her hot wet tunnel.

"You're everything…" he whispered as he started to slowly move inside her while he leisurely kissed her lips.

"Mmmmmmmmm…" Scully hummed deeply as she felt warmth spread from her core and through her whole body. She felt a ripple of an orgasm build in her body and them spread out over and over and over again; a quiet, powerful flow that just continued and built over several minutes until she felt the tension break and her body flood with a wave she hadn't prepared for, "Ohhhhhhhhhh God!" She held on to him tightly, her nails digging into his shoulders as the orgasm overwhelmed her body.

After a minute or two she opened her eyes and found Mulder brushing the damp hair from her forehead, "What was that?" he said with a grin.

Scully smiled a shook her head, "That was the most powerful and intense orgasm I'm ever had in my life…and after the last few weeks that really is saying something…I've never felt anything like that before…"

Mulder smiled in wonder, "I love you…" he said softly as he smoothed the sweat off her shoulder and allowed her a minute to recover.

"Yes…I think that's what it was…" Scully said with a smile. "Roll over."

Mulder did as told, slipping out of her body with a groan and then lying on his back.

Scully climbed on top of him and immediately took him back inside her core. She leaned down and kissed his face, running her lips over his skin and tasting him with open mouthed kisses as she slowing began to undulate her hips against him while tightening and relaxing her inner muscles.

"Mmmmm…yeah Scully…that feels really good…" Mulder murmured dropping his mouth open and leaning up to blindly capture her lips and tongue, "…soooooo…gooooood."

Scully smiled and slowly started to speed up, still keeping her movements smooth but being firmer and faster on the down stroke.

Mulder began to gently lift his hips to meet her at his base, "So fuckin' good…"

Scully moved to sit upright and then leaned back to rest her arms on his thighs, just above his knees. She continued to thrust her hips forward taking him firmly but slowly and gasped when she felt his hands reach up and cover her breast.

His hands massaged her breasts confidently and then pinched her nipples firmly, she gasped and sped up her hip movement.

"Mmmmm….harder…" Mulder slurred roughly. He rocked his hips up as he felt his own climax peak. He reached for Scully's clit with one hand while his other continued to flick and play with her nipples.

"Yeah…" Scully gasped as she came hard on his cock and her muscles pulled him over into an intense orgasm and he emptied himself into her body in several long hot jets.

Scully flopped forward onto his body and rest her cheek on his chest as their breathing returned to normal.

"Wow..." Mulder spoke first.

"Yeah…" Came Scully's monosyllabic response.

"We're too good at this, what the hell were we thinking waiting so long? I mean I knew we'd be good…I wanted you so badly…but this is insane." Mulder said with a chuckle.

Scully laughed and kissed his chest, "Love you."

Mulder leaned down and kissed to top of her head, "Yeah…my head is now so big I might never be able to leave our apartment…I feel about 10ft tall. Dana Scully loves me." He smiled down at her and watched her left hand sleepily run over his chest, her engagement ring glinted in the light from the lamp next to the couch and he smiled happily.

"I love you too…" He said softly. He held her tightly against his chest, pulled a blanket off the back of the couch to cover them…and feel asleep like that…at a slight awkward angle…but really never feeling more comfortable…still securely inside Scully's body.
