Chapter 2

Mulder was missing. He'd been gone three weeks. No one knew of his whereabouts, not even Scully. Scully was very worried. After that night, she knew that Mulder wouldn't do something like this without a word to her.
As for the case she was supposed to be investigating........Well, people were beginning to think that Mulder may have done it. He'd disappeared the day after the murder, and, according to Skinner, had no alibi. Scully sighed as she walked toward her apartment. Mulder did have an good story. Scully just couldn't tell them the truth. But she had to clear Mulder's name.
Scully unlocked her door and stepped in. She set her things down on the couch. Then a pair of strong arms wrapped around her middle. Before she could react, she was turned around and the figure kissed her. She glimpsed Mulder's face before the kiss. When they broke apart, she stared at him.
Where have you been? she asked, tears in her eyes. Mulder merely shook his head, and Scully got the message, dropping the subject.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They lay in bed hours later, holding each other and kissing. Mulder's cell phone rang, the sound reverberating off the walls because it was so quiet within the apartment.
Don't get it. Scully whispered, planting kisses along his neck and jaw. Mulder looked down at her apologetically. She sighed and nodded.
Mulder said into the phone. Of course........yes.........I'll meet you tomorrow. he hung up and turned to Scully, kissing her gently. I'm sorry, but I need to leave in the morning.
Mulder, did you hear about that murder that happened near your apartment? she asked him. Mulder nodded. Scully took a deep breath, then continued. Well, because you were gone the next day, and no one has heard from you.....they think you did it. I know i could prove them wrong, but it would mean.......
We'd have to admit what happened that night to Skinner. he finished for her. He searched her face for a moment. Scully....do you regret it? she looked horrified at the thought.
No! How could i ever regret it? How could you think that?
I don't know....I just. he started, but she cut him off
Mulder, I love you. I mean it now, and I meant it then. I wouldn't take what happened back for the world. she smiled at him and wrapped her arms around him, rolling over and cuddling into him, she fell asleep.
He was gone when she woke the next morning. He left a note on the pillow next to hers. It read:
Scully,
I'm sorry I had to leave, but i was called away urgently. I'm afraid You won't be able to contact me. My cell phone will be off all the time.
I will see you again as soon as I can.
I love you.
Fox.

Scully sighed. Whatever he was doing must have been important. She got up and dressed for work.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
5 weeks had passed since then. Scully had just been called for a meeting with Skinner. She knew she was about to be quizzed on Mulder's whereabouts, and she wished she knew. She needed to tell them the truth so that Mulder wouldn't be charged with a crime he didn't commit.
She sat down in Skinner's office, feeling nervous. Skinner leaned forward and spoke to her.
Agent Scully, you insist that Agent Mulder couldn't have committed this crime, and though in theory I believe you, there is no proof.
There is proof sir. she said, quietly. Skinner raised an eyebrow. I've been putting this off for a while. I have a question first.
Ask away, Agent.
At what time did the murder occur? she asked.
Skinner checked the record. About 9:15pm. Why?
Because Mulder was in his apartment at 9:15pm. He was in his apartment all night. In the bedroom to be exact. she said.
How do you know this, Scully? Skinner looked interested.
she faltered. It was now or never. Because Agent Mulder was making love to me at 9:15pm. I was with him all night. she was staring at her hands now, aware of Skinner's eyes on her. She heard Skinner sit back in his chair and take a deep breath.
Do you have....proof of what you claim, Agent Scully? he asked. Scully's jaw fell in surprise.
Sir, why would I willingly and openly say that I was in bed with my partner when I know that the Bureau technically forbids it, and have it not be true? Scully said, exasperatedly.
Well, I'm afraid I can't take your word without proof, Dana-
I have proof, sir. she cut in. Skinner stared at her in a scrutinizing way.
What proof could you possibly have, Scully? he asked slowly. Scully was breathing in almost gasps. Now she had to tell the full truth.
I'm pregnant. she said, dropping her head into her hands and starting to cry.
Agent Scully, have you seen Mulder since that night?
Only once, sir. It was about three weeks afterwards. He showed up my apartment out of the blue. I haven't seen him since. He doesn't know about the baby. the tears started to flow more heavily now.
Agent Scully, you do realize that under normal circumstances, I would have to reprimand and/or fire you and Mulder.
Yes, sir. she said quietly.
Though.....I believe that I can let it slide. Truth to tell, everyone expected it to happen sooner or later. Skinner said, chuckling. You're dismissed, Dana. I'll see you tomorrow. Take the rest of the day off. You look like you need it.
Yes, sir. Thank you. Scully got up and left in a rush, her thoughts on how unbelievably lucky she had been just now.
Now all she needed to do was find Mulder.
