Chapter Three
"What about?"
"Um...I think you should wake her up so she can hear it for herself."
"You ain't getting off the hook that easily Monica! What's so secret that you cant tell me."
"Okay, put it this way, Dana asked me to do something for her a few months ago, and...um...lemme tell her myself then she can tell you!"
"Okay, okay...Scully? Wake up, Monica's on the phone for you. Scully?"
His voice breaks into her dreams, she reluctantly opens her eyes to find Mulder standing over her with his cell phone pointed at her.
"What is it, Mulder"
He hands Scully the phone to let Monica speak to her. It has been such hell for her, hiding this from him for this long but at least she can break the news to him, now. She rummages around in one of the bags, and laughs at the quizzical look Mulder is giving her. She so badly hopes he won't mind it not being traditional and will say yes.
"Mulder, c'mere, I got something I have to ask."
"What did Monica want you for?"
"Hey! I said I have a question, now don't interrupt!"
She gave him a playful punch on the arm, and slipped off the bed, onto one knee. He looks so confused and his expression is nothing but immensely amusing.
"Mulder...um I know you would probably want this to be traditional, you know, you down on one knee, but you took too long so - Will you marry me?"
He looks so happy yet sorely disappointed in the same instant. Maybe Scully should have waited for him to propose?
"Scully...I-I don't know what to say."
His voice trailed off and she can't help but hope he isn't thinking of saying no. He is everything to her and she doesn't know what to do if she lost him.
"Mulder, you mean the world to me, I don't believe that I would stand a chance living without you, I just couldn't handle that. We wasted so many years being too afraid of rejection, I want to make up for that now. There only is one thing to say, Mulder, please say yes?!"
"Scully, I can't be the one to answer the question. You know me...and my ways."
A tear forms in her eye and escapes down her cheek. Scully is too badly hurt, she doesn't want to think that Mulder would reject her like this, she had always feared his rejection as he did hers. But all is not lost, Mulder pulls Scully up from the carpet and lays her on the bed. He gets down on one knee himself and presents a ring from his pocket and takes Scully's hand.
"Now, Scully, this is how I wanted it to be, you didn't think I wanted to marry you? Well you have never been more wrong. I love you Scully, there is no way I would be able to cope without you in my life. All those times when I thought I had lost you, I wanted to die, wanted so badly to be able to join you, wherever you were. When I found out about your cancer, I hated myself for it, if it wasn't for my quest, you would never have been so ill. I almost killed myself then, I couldn't bear the thought of living a life without you in it, and I never wanna have to think I am gonna lose you again. So will you marry me?"
"Of course I'll marry you! But if you ever pull a stunt like that again..."
