Scully's POV:

Mom left a few hours after that but not before bringing me aside for a talk.

"Dana, are you and Fox--"

"I really don't see how that's any of your business mom."

"So you are! Oh, Dana im so happy for you, it took you long enough, but still im happy for you."

I just smiled at her, it's not like she didn't already know. I could tell that she could tell this morning, she gave me a look.

Damn motherly instinct.

Well, that is until I have it myself, then it will be a welcomed blessing, but until then I take no shame in damming it.

"Earth to Scully. Come in Scully." I hear Mulder's voice call from behind me. Was he even talking? Guess I was lost in thought.

"Yeah?" I say as I turn to face him.

"The Gunmen called me, wanted to see if we wanted to come over. You want to? You don't have to and I wont go if you don't want me to--"

Did the phone even ring? I didn't hear it. "Mulder, go. You haven't seen them in months, im going to take a bath though."

"Then I'll stay and take a bath with you." He said with that sly grin on his face. It took all I had to turn him down. He makes the most irresistible faces, good thing I learned long ago how to tune them out. But I highly doubt much of that will be going on anymore. Still tonight is bath night. No Mulder.

"No Mulder, Im taking a bath, no interruptions. Im planning on bubbles and music and NO Mulder."

"Ah, Scully, you take all the fun out of my life."

"Mulder without me you'd have no fun. Now go and see the Gunmen. They're probably lost without you. Tell them I said hello."

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow morning then?"

"Mulder, I have work in the morning. You have to go by the range and get re-certified. Then you have to go get your medical evaluation, physical and mental. Gotta make sure your fit to come back to work now don't we? We can't let crazy people in the FBI can we?"

"They let me in before. I wasn't too sane then."

"But you put on a good front, I'll see you in the afternoon, after work."

"Fine, I'll see you then." He walks out the door and I hear the elevator ding.

I sigh get off the couch and walk into my bathroom, I turn on the water and pour some bubbles. Going back into the living room I turn on the stereo and soft classical music fills the air, Beethoven I think. This would be so much better if I could drink.

I stay in the bath for nearly an hour before the phone takes me away from it. I slip on my robe and cut off the music.

"Scully." I breath into the phone.

"Scully, its Dogett. Skinner just called he said that Agent Mulder was found the other day. That's great."

"Yeah, two days ago. He's getting re-certified tomorrow, looks like you might get your wish and get taken off the X-Files."

"Yeah, looks like. Only Skinner said maybe not. He might bring somebody else onto them and keep me on them, kind of a two team operation."

"He told me about that, somebody you know right? Agent Reyes?"

"Monica, yea. We met in New York a few years back. Listen, you weren't at work today, I remember you telling me somebody about a doctors appointment, how'd it go?"

"Its great, it looks like im having twins. A boy and girl from what they can tell, but they cant be sure. I'll be at work tomorrow though, bright and early."

"Ok then Scully, see you then."

"Yeah, bye." I hang up the phone and glance at the clock on the wall, its only a bit after 10 but im extremely tired, I head off to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mulder's POV:

I stay at the Gunmen's a bit longer than expected. I don't get home until around 1 in the morning. As soon as I lay on the couch I fall asleep, missing Scully's bed.

Im awake just a bit before 7. I have to be at the shooting range around 9:30, then the doctor's at 11. I hate the doctors office, even if it means getting back on the X-Files.

I continue with my morning routine, making coffee, taking a shower. Making more coffee. Im out the door by 8:45.

It only takes 15 minutes for me to get my gun back, I have more than an hour before I have to be at the doctors.

I could always go see Scully. The Hoover Building is only 10 minutes away from here.

Yeah, I'll go see Scully. Hopefully she'll want to see me, she might be working but then again she might be doing paperwork, and welcome the interruption.

I get a few looks walking down the hallway, only 2 people tell me 'welcome back' I knew I wasn't liked very much, but never knew that it was this bad.

I glance at my watch before the elevator makes it to the basement, its now just 2 after 10, im planning on staying her until 10:30.

I knock on the door softly and Scully calls for me to come in. When I come in the room she's looking down at a file, frowning.

She looks up at me and her face lights up. "Mulder, what are you doing here. I thought you'd be at the range."

I open my jacket to show her the gun, "Already have it. Looks like you got comfortable at my desk while I was away." I say smiling.

"Oh yea, looks like now you'll just have to get me my own. Won't you?" She gives a small smile.

A deep voice from the other side of the room clears his throat. I turn my head to see who it is. It's a tall man, kind of dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. "Agent Dogett I presume."

He nods and offers me his hand, I shake it and look back at Scully.

"Does Skinner know you're here?" She asks with her eyebrow raised once again to its un-normal high.

"Nope, he doesn't. You think he'd make me leave? My appointments not for another 45 minutes."

"Im not sure. But what Skinner doesn't know wont hurt him right?"

"That's what I've always said." I sit in the chair in front of my desk and look around the office. It looks just like I remember it. Its good to know that some things never change.

Scully stands up, her suit showing her swollen figure perfectly.

I smile, it is good to know that some things never change. But then again its great to know that some things do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scully's POV:

I am so happy that Mulder came, I figured I wouldn't see him until late today. I missed him last night, my bed felt empty.

Dogett and I had been arguing over some case, it's ironic how when Mulder was gone I became the open-minded believer who had to deal with the closed-minded skeptic. I wonder if this is how Mulder felt every time I would shutdown one of his off the wall theories. If it is, I'll try not to do it as often, because I don't think anybody would like this feeling.

It's a bit after two now and the little ones are kicking. I rub my stomach as I go through my e-mails. I know that I shouldn't be checking e-mails, I should be working, but I've got nothing else to do. It looks as if I have 2 e-mails from mom and somebody thinks I should enlarge my penis.

Funny, I've always thought that my penis was a good size. Looks like I was wrong all along.

That e-mail goes in the trash bin. I chuckle inwardly as I click on the e-mail that mom sent me. Looks like Charlie found a house, they'll be moving in in 2 weeks. The other is just a simple hello and she talks about Mulder and I some. Guess she has nothing else to talk about except my love life. God its been to long since I've had one of those. And now in about a month I wont have one until a while after the twins are born. Isn't that just peachy?

I look at the computer clock, 2:43, 5 couldn't be further away. I'll tell mom how Mulder's evaluation went. Which, according to him, he passed with flying colors.

Looks like soon he'll be back at work.

I cant wait.
