Nine months passed in a fast moving blur of plans and fittings and bizarre cases. There had been a few minor arguments over flowers and the guest list and seating arrangements but they always made up. On April 4th, their wedding day finally arrived.

            Scully stood in front of a full-length mirror, examining her dress. It didn't resemble the dress in her dream in any way. The skirt was full and made of silk with a small train. The bodice was also silk with crystal beaded spaghetti straps. Crystals and seed pearls were also embroidered onto the waist and around the top of the dress. Her veil was made of sheer white mesh. It was attached to a wreath of white roses and trailed behind her several feet.

            "Dana?" he mother said.

            Scully turned around and let her mom kiss her cheek. "Hey mom."

            "You look beautiful, Sweetheart," Mrs. Scully told her. "You need to get your shoes on."

            Scully sat down and slipped her feet into the beautiful but rather painful five-inch white leather and crystal heels. "I feel Cinderella."

            Her mom handed her a bouquet of white roses and orchids- an odd combination but somehow, symbolic. "But you don't have to leave at midnight. Come on, Dana, Fox and everyone else is waiting."

            Scully too her mother's hand and followed her to the back of the Sanctuary where her brothers and Skinner waited.

            "You look beautiful, Day," Charlie told her.

            "Agreed, even if you are marrying that bast--"

            "Bill…" Mrs. Scully warned.

            Scully smiled, choosing to ignore Bill's comments on her future husband. "Even for your tomboy sister?" she teased.

            Bill and Charlie laughed and hugged her carefully before running off to their seats.

            Scully took her place on skinner's arm. "You look beautiful, Dana," he whispered in her ear.

            She smiled. "Thank you."

            He patted her arm and looked forward as the wedding march began blasting through the organ pipes. Scully took a deep breath and began walking down the aisle, toward Mulder, toward love, toward their future together.

Nope, still not done yet. Any complaints about adding another (and final) chapter?

Luv Y'all!
