Scully exited the elevator with her partner. The meeting with AD Skinner had been long, and they got what they deserved. Nothing. He neither yelled at them nor congratulated the agents. He simply asked for their report and file, then dismissed them.
All Scully wanted now was a bath and some soft music. Mulder raced off the elevator and blocked the door. "I have a surprise for you, but you have to let me go in first."
"All right, but hurry. I'm tired." Scully watched as he snaked into the office and made a lot of noise in the process of readying her surprise. She wondered if this had anything to do with the gift he promised her for Christmas. She had given him two new decent looking ties and his favorite (and hers) cologne for Christmas. Mulder had told her she had to wait until Monday to get hers. It was Tuesday.
He emerged and moved behind her putting his hands over her eyes. "Mulder," she began to protest.
He put his mouth to her ear whispering "Surprise." He led her into their office and uncovered her eyes. There in her 'area' was a brand new cherry oak desk, complete with her favorite high back chair, and her computer.
"Oh, Mulder, it's lovely! Thank you so much. How did you ever guess?" she said with a hint of sarcasm. The joy in her voice was unmistakable though.
"Gee let me think." She playfully slapped his arm and went over to sit in the chair at her new desk. "The name plates for both the desk and door come in on Friday. This is *our* office, Scully, so here's your space and your plate will be on the door on Friday morning."
She gave him a bright smile as she spun around in the chair and then rested her feet on the desk. "Very comfy. I can see why you like this position." She gave him a sly look. The computer bega n to beep, telling her she had mail.

Look in my right jacket pocket. ;)
She closed the mail and got out of the seat walking over to Mulder with a suspicious look on her face. She reached into his right pocket and produced a black velvet jewelry box. Scully carefully opened the box and inside was the silver and emerald cross from the store they passed.
"Mulder," she breathed. He took it from the box and moved around her to place it around her neck. "How did you get this?"
"I've had it for months. The same night you saw it in the window of the jewelry store I went back and bought it." He fastened it and turned her around. Dana thought the temperature went up a little as he looked in her eyes. "Merry Christmas, Scully."
She pulled away and went over to the full length mirror near the closet."It's beautiful, Mulder." She turned to him as he came over to her. "Thank you so much." She put her arms around his waist and hugged him to her.
"Um, Scully."
"Yeah?" She pulled back from him.
"Look up."
She glanced up at the ceiling and saw a branch of mistletoe. She gave him a 'look.' "How long has that been there?" She put her hands on his shoulders as he moved closer to her.
"Oh, about ten minutes."
She gave him one of her priceless smiles. He cupped her face and dipped his head bringing his lips to hers. Their mouths grazed each other, and they broke contact. Mulder looked deep into her eyes.
"You know Dana, this is against protocol."
"Well, this is 'our' office, but you are still the senior officer in charge."
"Oh, well then screw protocol!" Mulder put his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply. Dana responded by placing her right hand on his neck as she brought him closer. She moaned softly and explored Mulder's mouth with her tongue.
This went on for about five minutes when the phone on Mulder's desk rang. Scully stepped back startled. Mulder went for the phone, while Scully straightened her hair.
"I'll be right up, Sir." He hung up the phone and looked at his partner. "That was Skinner. He's got another case. This one's in Vermont. I hear it's cold there."
"Yeah, I agree. Maybe you should get just one room this time." She gave him a sly grin as he moved to the door where she was standing.
"Why Agent Scully, are you seducing me?" He rested one hand on the door frame as she leaned her back on it.
"No, I'm teasing you, Agent Mulder. Now shut up and kiss me before you leave me." He obeyed and lightly kissed her lips.
"That's to keep you coming back." Mulder went to the elevator as she walked back to her desk.
'My desk,' Scully thought. 'There's nothing better to do. Might as well catch up on some work.' Instead she touched her cross and grabbed her book. Scully kicked up her feet and read.
Mulder came back to the office about twenty minutes later to find Scully reading a novel with her feet on her new desk. "Now don't go scratching that up. I polished it myself. Oh, and don't go getting too comfortable. This is still mostly my office."
"That's only because your mess takes up three quarters of the room." She smiled, and he moved over to her forcing her feet to the ground. He knelt down and kissed her full on the lips.
"As your boss, I'm telling you to go home and get changed. Your boss is taking you out for a night on the town tonight."
"Yes, Sir." Scully said saluting, and got out of her chair, leaving Mulder dumbfounded on the floor.
"Well, how about a good-bye kiss."
She strode back over and kissed him on the cheek. "That's to keep you coming back." As Scully walked out the door she heard him groan. She smiled as she thought about how nicely this new office arrangement was going to work.
