A/N: Please review!! ^^ Sorry for any out-of-character thingies that may pop up. I'm not very good with Scully characterization. By the by, I've always been a landlubber of sorts. Never been on a plane. So, my little plane scene might be a bit off for those of you who HAVE traveled.
Mulder sat and stared at the array of the numerous empty beer bottles lying there in front of him. It made him feel so useless, with her lacking from his life. Agent Millstone was coming over to give him a plane ticket to Illinois. They were going to Chicago, where Malten had run to. What fun. What joy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Scully lay there after a decent, loveless bout of sex with her former flame. She lay there, awake, staring at the ceiling. No man held their own when she compared them to Mulder. He was the only one who was able to show any promise. She felt the tears well again. Why did it have to be that way? He said 'I love you' with so much passion, it had to be true! It had to be! She took a shuddering breath. She promised herself she wouldn't do this to herself. She loved Parker. No, he couldn't ever take Mulder's place in her heart. However, he filled that empty void in her heart. She smiled faintly. He woke up to find her staring at the ceiling. His lips pressed against hers.
"Morning, beautiful."
"Morning."
"What do you want to do?"
"Get up." He laughed. He sat up in bed, looking at her, still staring intently at the ceiling, pondering something unknown. "Parker...where do you think this relationship is going? Do you think its serious?" She was looking at him now, the soft red curls falling to frame her face.
"Yes, I think its serious. I mean, we got up to the altar before. You were the one that ran. I mean, we could go up there today if we wanted to. I know that spark is still there."
"Mmm."
"Do you want to be married to me, Dana?"
"It would certainly fulfill something inside," she said, wistfully.
"Then, let's get married. I don't mean elope. I still have the engagement ring from when we were dating." She gasped. He got up, walking over, digging through a shoebox in his closet. He dug out a little black box. He popped it open, revealing a sparkling diamond, possibly quite more beautiful than it was before. She was in awe. He removed the ring and slid it on her finger.
"Parker, I couldn't possibly..."
"Just wear it. Tell me if you want to get married by the end of the week, all right?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Agent Mulder!" I shook my head fiercely, prying open my eyelids with all the force and willpower that I had in my body.
"What?" I mumbled.
"We're here." I was about to open my mouth to let a quip or innuendo come out. Then, it dawned on me. Scully wasn't the one waking me up. It was Agent Millstone. I was in heaven for those few hours that I was dreaming about Scully. I was in hell when I woke up and found out that me, being the jackass that I am, lost her.
"All right." I stood up and we walked off the plane. We got our luggage at the baggage claim and we got a taxi to take us to the Brahms Hotel.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dana Scully sat at the table, when a nurse caught sight of the ring on her left finger. "Who's that from? You're engaged? To who?" The nurses questioned her quickly.
"Parker."
"Already telling everyone? And you hadn't even given me a straight answer yet," Parker teased, kissing her quickly.
"Dana!" Alyson cried. She looked up.
"What? What happened? I'm on my break..."
"We just got some patients for you. They just got here. Law enforcement. One of 'em got a nasty shot to the chest cavity. You're the only doctor who might be able to pull him through."
"Him? It's a him?"
"Yeah. And you want to know the uncanny thing?"
"What?" Her throat had dried up and it felt like a desert. She had just barely been able to choke the word out.
"You're his emergency contact."
She stumbled over a chair as she raced through the doorway. The nurses caught her muttering something as they diligently followed. "There's no way in hell. There's no fucking way it's him. No fucking way."
