Chapter Seventeen

Scully read the letter again then slipped it back into the envelope. She lay back on the bed, hair askew on the pillow and her hand resting across her stomach. Mulder lay back to join her and placed his large hand over the tiny one she had placed on her abdomen. She let out a sigh and entwined her fingers with his; he pulled her hand toward his face and kissed the tips of her fingers.

"Mulder, that letter was dated a week ago, what if something's happened to them?"

He raised his head to meet her gaze and eventually replied,

"Scully, nothing has happened to them. They probably just couldn't get a flight to Glasgow; they really aren't all that regular you know."

"I know, but if they sent that letter a week ago, then surely they would have gotten a flight by now."

"Don't worry so much, Scully, they'll be here as soon as they can."

They left it at that and cuddled up on the bed, just as they had done in Roswell before they left America. Their legs were entwined and their arms wrapped tightly around each other.

About two hours later, there was a bit of a commotion in the hallway, strange bumps and scrapes all the way along until the noises came outside the door. Then the scraping stopped and was followed by a loud thump as someone dropped something heavy onto the floor and they heard someone knock on the door. Scully got up looking confused as to what the hell the noises were; she opened the door to reveal her former workmates looking a bit worse for wear. She looked down at the floor, to the cause of all the noise and noticed that the two agents seemed to have brought everything they owned.

"Are you just gonna leave us standing here, Dana?"

"No, no, come on in. It's so good to see you guys, I thought something had happened to you!"

"Nope, you aren't getting rid of us that easy, we just had to wait a while for a flight over here."

Mulder shot Scully a 'told-you-so' look as Monica said this.

"Oh just shut up Mulder."

"I didn't say a word!"

"No? Well, you were thinking it."

"What ever happened to your plan of calling him Scully instead of Mulder?"

"Um, yeah, I forgot about that. Better to stick to what we're used to."

"You know there's something different about you, Dana. Are you wearing contacts or something?"

"No, but they do say all you have to do is look into a woman's eyes to know that she's pregnant."

"You mean you're..."

She nodded and smiled as a happy tear fell from her eye and made its way down her cheek. Scully stepped back to get a better look at Monica's shocked expression and couldn't hold back the laughter any longer.

"Since when?"

"I don't know, since the wedding night, I guess. How far are you?"

"Um, since a few days before you apparently."

They shared a cheerful hug, both had tears running down their faces, happy to see each other safe, and happy that both could share such a joyful event.

John and Mulder just looked at each other and laughed at the two women once again acting like hyper teenagers.
