I woke up to a small hand pulling at my blouse, I hadn't even realized I had fallen asleep. I looked down at the perpetrator, "What is it Bradley?"

"Momma says, time to wake up." The little boy said. "Mr. Fox too. Wake up." He then proceeded in pulling on Mulder's pants leg. "Wake up Mr. Fox."

Mulder's eyes shot open and he looked down at the small boy, "What's going on?"

"Momma says wake up." He then ran off.

"Cute kid." Mulder mumbled as he rubbed his eyes, "We fell asleep I guess."

"Really? I never knew you were so smart Mulder. I would have never guessed that."

"You think you're funny?" He questioned.

"Of course."

He raised an eyebrow and grabbed one of the pillows he had been resting on, he grinned mischievously and started attacking me (very lightly) with the pillow. I took a few hits before I finally managed to grab the pillow from his hands, his face dropped and he started to back up. It was my turn to grin.

"That's what I thought." I said in triumph. Then looking around the room said, "I wonder how long we've been out."

"As far as we know over 5 hours." Anne said as she strolled into the room carrying her daughter. "But, for certain over 1...you were both asleep when we returned home. We thought it inappropriate to wake you just then, you looked so cute asleep."

I blushed slightly, "It was a long night."

"I'll say." Anne huffed. "I still haven't quite forgive Charlie all the way, but he's getting closer to earning it." She set Kylie down on the floor and she teetered over to Mulder, then held her arms up.

"Hold." She said, demandingly.

Mulder chuckled and picked her up, "Alright your highness."

"I'm the princess." She said as-a-matter-of-faculty.

"I wonder who taught her that one." I said with a chuckle.

"Your brother did actually." Anne supplied. "It's very cute though."

"I'm the princess." She repeated.

"Ok, hon," Anne stated, "We know."

Kaylie giggled and placed her hands on either side of Mulder's face, she then began to blabber on in baby talk, well, there was the occasional recognizable word in the mix, but not many. "Mmm-hmm." She said as she ended her rant. "Down." She stated.

Mulder set her down on the floor and she ran off somewhere. Anne sighed and followed her.

"Well, Kaylie seems to like you."

"Yeah, but I think Bradley is a bit scared of me."

"Don't be silly, he's just very shy. Besides, who could be scared of you?"

He pouted, "Krycheck."

"He hardly counts." I winked, "But I'll grant him, who else?"

"Well, when I get really pissed off, the Lone Gunmen are get a little frantic."

"Mulder, come on, seriously. The Lone Gunmen are paranoid, a bee would make them frantic." I thought a second, "Ok. So that wasn't the best explanation. Continue."

"All the other male Agents at the FBI are intimidated by my sexiness." (well, we know THAT *wink wink*)

"Ok, I give up. You win." I smiled, "You are a man to be feared."

"Thank you. It's nice to know somebody recognizes it." He steps closer to me and pulls me into his arms, "Now, I haven't even gotten a good morning kiss."

"It's the middle of the afternoon Mulder." I informed.

"Ok, well, I still want my kiss." He leaned in a captured my lips with his. I pulled away when I heard footsteps approaching. I leaned to the right just a bit, so Mulder wasn't blocking my view, and glared at person who had interrupted us. Charlie stood in the doorway to the living room like a dear in the headlights.

"I'll…be going…now." He stuttered and then left the room.

I smiled at the state of my brother walking in on Mulder and I kissing, and positioned myself where I had been before. "Now," I smiled, "Where were we?"

~**~**~**~

Charlie left the living room, his mind buzzing, he had just witnessed his sister and Mulder, making out. Not exactly the image he had planned on, but he was happy for her nonetheless. Stunned entirely, but happy. He walked outside where his mother and wife were, along with his daughter and son. He smiled as his son ran up to him and demanded that he play hide-and-seek with him. He agreed with his son, if Bradley would be the first to hide.

His son agreed and he and his little sister ran off into the backyard. Charlie sat in a chair and pretended to count.

His wife raised a questioning eyebrow, "What's up Charlie?"

"Well, I think you were right about one thing."

"What's that?"

"They definitely admitted their feelings to each other." He paused for a second, "20!" He yelled outloud, "Ready or not, here I come!" He then proceeded off the porch to find where his son and daughter were hiding, leaving his wife and mother just as stunned as he had been only moments prior.

~**~**~**~

When we pulled away from the kiss I couldn't help but break out in a wide grin.

"What?" Mulder questioned.

"Nothing, it's just I've wanted to do that for a long, long, LONG time." I chuckled just a bit. "I'll say, it was worth the wait."

"Well, we better make up for lost time then, shouldn't we?" He said, lifting his eyebrows suggestively.

"For once we finally agree." I replied before leaning in close to him again, and this time being the one to manipulate the kiss. Mulder didn't have any objections to this, neither did I.

We must have been there for a while because the next thing I remember was the sound of my mother clearing her throat. Well, isn't this peachy. First, they've got a conspiracy to push us together, now things seem to have shifted. The conspiracy is to invade our privacy. I break away from Mulder's embrace and glare at her, letting out a large sigh.

"Something I can do for you mother?"

She smiled, "As happy as I am to finally see that you two have gotten your act together, I would very much so appreciate it if you didn't *make-out* in my living room. Think you could carry this elsewhere?"

Mulder grinned, "Sure thing Mrs. Scully."

"Stop calling me Mrs. Scully!" She sighed, "Fox, how many times have I asked you to call me Margaret?"

"A lot."

"Think you would've taken the hint by now?"

"Oh I don't know mom," I supplied, "We've already established the fact that Mulder's a bit dense."

"I'll say." She muttered.

"Hey…you're not supposed to agree."

"Well, I'm not saying you're the only one." She glared at me, "My daughter is as well. Now, as I said before, carry on somewhere else. The kids want to watch TV."

I grin, "Alright mom, if we must."

"You must."

I took a hold of Mulder's hand and pulled him into the hallway, and then into a large walk-in closet.

"Ooh, Scully. I like this side of you." He said as I pulled the chord of the light bulb.

"Mulder, just shut up and kiss me." I said sternly.

"Shutting up." He said as he leaned into kiss me once more.
