3 months had past and Scully has settled down to her relationship with Mulder..just! There were very intimate with each other but Scully still had yet to say that she loves him. He said he would wait forever though if he had to but she knew him better than that.

They had only had 2 major cases, which were both dead end, and so their work was quiet which suited them fine as they enjoyed spending time in the office talking and innocently touching each other.

But now winter had come and it had come with fierce storms and lots of snow. Christmas was approaching and Scully was going to her mum's with Mulder which made her a little agitated.

She got to the door of her mum's home with snow sticking to her jacket and her gloves and Mulder clinging on to her as the wind pierced them.

She was trying to be less nervous about introducing him to her family as a boyfriend rather than a partner at her work. Mulder gave her a quick reassuring look when the door opened to Maggie Scully who was beaming.

'Hello! Come in, it's freezing out here' She greeted them cheerfully moving away to let them in. The house was decorated excessively with tinsel and other festive things that brightened the house up. She gave Scully a hug and kissed Mulder's cheek gently as she took there coats and hung them on the rack next to the door.

'Bill and Charlie are in the living room and I think the rest of the family are in the kitchen trying to work the cooker, we've been having problems all day' She explained as they unwrapped their scarves from around their necks.

Mulder was a little uneasy but managed to put on a smile as he entered the kitchen with Scully. Even Scully looked round and didn't recognise certain faces but she smiled none the less and introduced Mulder to everyone with a very proud grin.

After what seemed like a forever of hello's and introductions Mulder found himself alone in the kitchen sipping at his glass of wine and heard everyone else's voices coming from the living room and smiled. Everyone was so happy.

The door that was next to him suddenly slammed open and he watched as a figure run in and shut the door behind them as the wind battered the door.

They turned round and faced Mulder, his jaw dropped. It was a woman, about his age who was stunning in every way. She wore simple jeans and a big dark blue jumper and had long glossy brown hair that fell in soft curls around her face.

'It's bloody freezing out there' She said in a thick British accent as she brushed off ice and snow that still lay on her shoulders.

'Tell me bout it' He said with a smile. 'I'm Fox by the way' He said offering a hand to her in which she took and shook eagerly while taking off her scarf and laying it down on the side.

'Hi, I'm Emma, I'm a family friend of the Scully's' She said with another gleaming smile.

'I'm Dana's boyfriend' He said as his eyes roamed down her body.

'Oh, I've heard about you!' She said as she wandered around the kitchen grabbing a mug and tea bags.

'Good things I hope'

'Very good things' she said as she turned round to face him and leant on the side of the table. 'I hope you don't mind me being blunt but ....your a lot better looking than I thought'

He gave her a wink and watched as a blush rose to her face. 'So you're from England?'

'The accent give it a way? Yes, I'm a lecturer in training at Oxford'

Just as he was about to reply Scully walked in giving Emma a small smile.

'Hi' She said simply as she looked at Mulder who still held a smile on his face. Jealously rose within her as he watched the way he was eyeing her up.

'How have you been Dana?' Emma said with a smile.

'Ok thank you...you?'

'Great thank you' She said as she poured some water into her mug.

'Mulder, my mum wants a word' Scully said still giving glances at Emma who was busy with her tea.

'Ok' Mulder said without another thought as he strode out of the room without looking back.

'He's nice' Emma said casually flicking her hair behind her ear.

'Yes I know' She snapped as her head flicked to look at her.

'Dana, it's alright. I'm not planning on stealing him off you.yet' She said with a wink.

'Sorry' She apologised. She had always sworn to herself she would never be the jealous type but that went down the drain. She had known Emma for years and had never seen any evidence of her stealing men or being a flirt which made her a little more comfortable.

'No worries' She said as she walked past Dana and into the living room.

Scully watched her go with a threatened look. The way Mulder had looked at Emma made her very worried and made her certain that she was not going to leave him alone with her for a second.

She walked back into the living room and looked over at Mulder who was perched on the edge of the sofa chatting with a smile to her mum. She couldn't help the smile that crossed her face as she watched the way he was so at ease.

He stole a glance in her direction and Scully smiled as she saw his eyes lock on hers. She did love this man and she loved the way her family loved him equally and the way he looked at her and made her feel special.

Later that evening she wandered a round her mum's house silently. Lots of people were still chatting about who knows what but she felt the need to be alone.

She sighed as she walked down the stairs and went round the corner into the family room but stopped abruptly when she saw Mulder with his arms gently wrapped around Emma, kissing...
