6.20am
The alarm broke through the sweet silence of Scully's bedroom. She and Mulder lay entangled in each other's limbs. Having barely had two hours sleep Scully groaned with muscle fatigue and general lack of sleep and although her mind was already awake she wanted her body to get the rest it was so accustomed to having. As Scully extricated herself from Mulder's arms he opened his eyes, pulling her against him again. She smiled loving the contact of her face against his chest. What would she give to spend the rest of the day wrapped up in his arms?
"I'm sorry." She said moving away from him again "But some of us have to work! And you, my dear, have a meeting with Walter this morning."
"Walter!" he said lacing the name with innuendo that made Scully blush.
"Mulder! Don't be ridiculous. I've only had eyes for you. I'll be back in a few minutes." Raising his head he looked at her and smiled. She was still wearing her risqué outfit from earlier that morning. Just thinking about it made him excited.
'What a woman!' he thought and closing his eyes he rolled onto his stomach and fell back to sleep.
Scully turned on the shower maximising the heat to relax the muscles that were already objecting to her moving around.
"For the final test… What do we look like this morning Miss Scully?" looking in the mirror Scully groaned "Gee! Well, girl, you have enough luggage under your eyes to take you to Europe!" at least this time it wasn't lack of sleep through insomnia.
Pulling her hair back from her face Scully saw the 'bite of love' Mulder had given to her. She couldn't wear a high neck top as it was way to warm and her blouses wouldn't cover it.
"How old are you!" she spoke to her reflection. Had this been a movie she would have been given a reply. Shaking her head Scully released herself from the leather clothing and stepped into the shower to become relatively normal again.
6.45am
"Mulder get out of bed." She shook him hard to wake him. She was dressed and had to have him out of her bed before she woke their daughter.
"Five more minutes." He moaned.
"You've had more than five minutes already." Sighing she pulled back the covers revealing his bare behind. Knowing how to make him 'wake up' she grinned before dragging her nails down his back before squeezing his butt.
"God! Woman you're insatiable!" he turned over to see her stood upright her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes were perfectly made-up and her brow arched in that 'look' she gave him that needed no explanation. "Okay. I'm up, I'm up." He moved towards her resting his hands on her hips before pulling her in tight. Her body pressed against his made her release her standoffish pose. He kissed her deeply before pulling away.
"I love it when you get angry. You're so sexy." He walked into her bathroom gathering some clothes as he went. She couldn't help but smile watching one of her favourite views of him. His naked butt!
Turning on her heel she headed to her daughter's room to wake her. She couldn't believe it was already Friday. A whole week had passed that had given more twists and turns than a roller coaster. At least the had the weekend to get to know each other again. She and Mulder had spent plenty of time getting to know each other again during the small hours of the night. Scully still wanted to know what he had been doing these past six years. He had to have experienced so much and she wanted to know what.
Opening Samantha's door Scully saw the small figured huddled in the bed. Her baby, the precious one, she should never have had. So many times she had thought about giving the child away. It was only during pregnancy these thoughts had plagued her mind. On seeing her for the first time Scully knew that she couldn't give her baby away again. This time it was for keeps. She was grateful for that decision never having faltered.
"Sammie. Sweetheart. Time to wake up." She called as she turned on the overhead light.
"Morning Mommy." She chirruped.
"Get dressed and come down for breakfast."
"Is Nanna coming over today?" she asked innocently reminding her and Scully of the routine. Scully had completely forgotten her Mother always looked after Samantha on a Friday morning and made sure she was safely on the yellow school bus. Samantha may get a ride home from school on occasion but not to school. How would she explain Mulder's being back? Her Mom would kill her. No, she wouldn't, she had always said that Mulder's promise was one not to hold lightly. His promise couldn't have been more sincere. She was right.
"She should be, sweetie."
Scully turned from her daughter's room and headed down the stairs to make breakfast.
7.21am
"Hurry up Mulder she'll be here soon. I want you to be presentable!"
"Am I ever not?" she shook her head. Anyone would think it was a first parent-boyfriend meeting from the way she was acting. Mulder was searching for his shirt. It didn't appear to be in the bedroom. He followed her down the stairs buckling the belt to his trousers and as he did the front door opened.
"Are you sure you haven't seen my shirt?" he stopped in his tracks, 4 steps from the hallway.
Margaret Scully walked into the hallway and looked up at her daughter being followed down the staircase by Mulder, a half-dressed Mulder. She could see why her daughter loved him so much! What a body… If she were twenty-five years younger… she would still be in love with her Bill Senior.
"Mom, I meant to call you. I'm sorry it slipped my mind." Scully hugged her Mother apologetically.
"Dana… You should have called… Hello Fox, nice to see you." She smiled then walked through to the sitting room and half closed the door through habit.
"Nanna!" they heard Samantha call from the table situated at the far end of the room.
"Hey sweet pea."
Scully turned to Mulder and sighed.
"I haven't seen your shirt. It must be upstairs. You had it on last night." She looked up at him. He walked down the remainder of the stairs. She rested her head against his chest as tiredness swamped her body. He hugged her then, as she lifted her head, he kissed her deeply. Their tongues danced with each other momentarily before Mulder spun Scully around so she was leaning against the hall's wall. Slowly he ran a hand down her body and under the waistband of her skirt. She gasped quietly as his fingers reached their destination. As he toyed with her she could feel an orgasm building. Her arms held his neck tightly for support as her legs began to buckle with pleasure. She loved him for this…
"Dana!"
Alien HQ, 1295 – 1300 Memorial Place, Washington DC
#1's taskforce were still in the meeting with him. This had to be a meticulous process. How could they steal away the prize and not be noticed? It had to be done this morning before there was any chance of problems. He hoped the meeting would have been short. Alas, no such luck.
The University. That was the place. Being the Australian Ambassador he could ask for a tour and talk to the tutors about their subjects. He would get his prize. His new aide, he would get her. Smiling at his own plan #1 decided he needed his 'guards' to play a crucial role. Bodyguards who would help him snare the one who HAD to help them or die… Dana Scully.
