Mulder's POV:
Two days later
"Mulder…" Scully calls from her desk.
"Yeah."
"Stop with the pencils will you? You wanted to come back to work, so work…that is what they pay you for." She says with her eyebrows raised and lips pressed together.
"Ugh…alright Scully…but what am I supposed to do? We have no cases, I haven't been on a case in forever, so no need to write a field report. What can I do?"
"Well, maybe you could make it so you can actually find the files your looking for…that might be helpful."
"Just because you can't find them doesn't mean I can't."
She rolls her eyes and goes back to her writing.
"What are you doing Scully?"
"What you should be, working."
"I know that…but what are you working on?"
"Well--
The ringing of the telephone cut her off, after the second ring I picked it up. "Hello?"
"Agent Mulder, AD Kersh would like to you and Agent Scully to meet with him." Anna--Kersh's assistant- says.
"Sure. When?"
"Now."
"Ok. Thank you."
"Goodbye Agent Mulder." She says before hanging up.
Scully looks up from her work, "Who was that?"
"Anna."
"What did she want?"
"Me."
"Seriously Mulder."
"Kersh wants to meet us, now. Sounds fun doesn't it?"
She sighs and stands up from her desk, "yes, it's going to be the highlight of my day. Lets go then." She walks out the door, and follow behind her. While we're on our way to the elevator Dogett and Reyes walk out of the office. The look at us surprised and we look at the same way.
"Where are you two going?" Scully asks, eyebrows raised.
"Kersh's office, you?"
"Same."
"Hmm…wonder what he wants with all four of us."
"Whatever it is, it's probably not good." Dogett sighs. "Well we'd better go then, don't want to make the boss-man upset, that would just be tragic. Don't ya think?"
So we all four walk to the elevator, my hand resting on the small of Scully's back, I smile at the familiar feeling chills running down her spine, and mine. I hadn't been lying when I told Scully what I told her the other night. She looks over her shoulder at me and smiles as well, the same thing running through her mind as mine. Reyes and Dogett look at our secret exchange confused, but shrug it off, seeing as there is somebody else in the elevator.
When the elevator doors open again we all file out, apprehensive about why Kersh wants to see all of us. When we get into the office Anna looks up from her computer and tells us that Kersh is waiting in his office. We walk into the office and take our seats.
"Agents," Kersh starts, "im sure your wondering why I called all four of you in here. We have an interesting case that we think you should look at. Only this case might require more than two agents."
"What is this case about sir?" Scully asks, getting right down to business.
"4 couples from a town in Tampa Bay, Florida, have gone missing in the last month. No indication of fowl play, normal families, people who wouldn't just up and leave. Furthermore, nothing was taken from the house, no clothes, nothing."
"Why is this an x-file sir?" Reyes questions.
"Well, its unsolved, but also the fact all of these couples were married on the exact day, same year."
"What day is that sir?"
"October 31st."
"Halloween? Didn't think people actually got married on that day of the year. So, sir, what do you want us to do about it?"
"Go undercover."
Oh boy, not again. "Undercover sir?"
"Yes, as two new couples in the town. It's not a very big town, only about 900 people."
"Won't they find that a bit suspicious? Two new families in the town."
"Well, you'll be moving in a few days apart. Agent Scully, you and Agent Mulder will be one and Agent Reyes and Dogett will be the other. The houses are right across the street from each other, we have your names and jobs picked out already. There's a local field office in Tampa, only about a 15 minute commute from where your cover houses will be." He hands Scully a folder and then Reyes one as well, "Agent Mulder, Scully, you will be moving in first. Then Agent Reyes and Dogett will be moving into their cover house in 4 days. The investigation will not start until agents Reyes and Dogett get there, am I clear Agent Mulder?"
"Yes sir. Clear."
"Your plane leaves at 4. You're dismissed."
Without either of us saying a word we leave the office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scully's POV:
We all enter mine and Mulder's office after our meeting with Kersh. Our office because its bigger than Reyes and Dogetts. If they only knew what they did, they gave us some alone time without prying eyes. Although the case *might* get in the way a bit. When we enter the office I look at Mulder with a big toothy smile. "Well, they definitely won't have a reason to think you and I aren't married." I say glancing down at my bulging stomach.
"Florida." Reyes smiles, "I love Florida. I haven't been in years."
"So, what are our cover names Scully?"
"Well, anything's got to be better than Rob and Laura Petri."
"You never did make me my sandwich."
I roll my eyes at him and open the folder, "looks like we are the Sanders. Brianna and Sean Sanders."
"And you said nothing could be worse than Rob Petri."
"I rather like Sean. It's not so bad, Rob however. Unoriginal, sounds too much like Bob."
Reyes opens her file, "and we are Greg and Christina Benson. Christina…I like that." She looks at Dogett, "I think I'd rather be called Chris though, ok?"
"Yea, sure. You think that we can get another name besides Greg for me though?"
"Would you rather me call you Gregory?"
"No, Greg will hafta do."
"I still don't like Sean, but im not one to be talking about names."
"You know, I always liked Fox. It's different, not to many people with that name, and I think it suits you." I smile.
"Yea, cause im so foxy." He says wiggling his eyebrows causing me to laugh.
I glance down at my watch, "oh shit, come on Mulder, its already after 2. We still have to pack. We might miss our flight." I grab my coat and lap top and walk to the doorway, when I get there I turn around and look at Dogett and Reyes, "see you two in 4 days."
"Yeah." Dogett answers back.
Reyes smiles warmly at me, "you two enjoy your four days of leisure until we get there ok?"
"Don't worry. We will."

Mulder's POV:
United Flight 776
5:32pm
Scully fell asleep on my shoulder 20 minutes ago and my arms starting to fall asleep. But I don't want to wake her up so I guess I'll just have to let it be. This movie's not helping much though, not very fond of 'The Terminator'. The tingling in my arm suddenly becomes to much to bear and I lightly move Scully's head so my arm is free. She stirs a bit but doesn't wake.
About 15 minutes she jerks out of sleep.
"What's wrong?"
"Babies kicked just a bit hard. It surprised me is all. What time is it?"
"5:50."
"Ugh, our flight doesn't land until 8. What movie is on?"
"Terminator."
"Oh, fun." She says sarcastically. "Im going back to sleep." She lays her head on my chest and sighs. A few minutes later her slow breathing indicates that she's asleep.
Not to long after that I was asleep myself.
7:54
"Scully…wake up Scully." I say lightly shaking her awake.
She looks up at me with heavy eyes. "What?"
"Planes landing. Got to get your seatbelt on."
She puts on her seatbelt and the pilots voice once again fills the speakers telling us that we are about to start our descent and thank you for flying United. A few minutes later we were grabbing our carry on bags and making our way to get our luggage. As luck would have it, Scully's bags are missing.
"Can I help you." The woman behind the desk says sounding annoyed, not looking up from her fingers, which she's filing.
"No, I just thought I'd stop by because you look like a people person. My luggage is lost."
"Then you'll need to fill out this report." She says, nonchalant, pushing a file towards us. "When we know anything we'll call you."
"Call me? Oh, that's so very kind of you, but I wouldn't want to tear you away from your filing. It's just so important."
The woman looks up at her, "look honey, I've had a long day--"
"And you think I haven't? But if im not mistaken, you're suppose to look at somebody when talking with them, not down at your nails. And furthermore, do not call me *honey*."
I lean towards her, "Scully. Just fill out the paper and lets go, ok?"
She looks at me, her blue eyes blazing, "fine. Whatever." She grabs the pen and fills out the report, putting in our fake information. She pushes the paper back towards the lady and briskly walks away. I hurry after.
I'll say it once and I'll say it again…it's the hormones.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scully's POV:
I cannot believe they lost my luggage, and then that woman had the audacity to call me *honey*. Stupid bitch. Her nails weren't that good looking anyway. Damn hormones. They're making me a wreck. I fill out the paperwork to rent the car (which is a convertible, we are in Florida) and Mulder comes up behind me.
"You ok Scully?"
"Just a bit jetlagged. I'll be better after a good nights sleep."
"It's only 8."
"It'll take a while to get to the house, then some more time to shower, and get settled. Nonetheless I'll still be going to bed early."
"Aw, Scully. I was looking forward to making that honeymoon video."
"Mulder…not in the mood."
"For what? Jokes or--"
"Both."
"Well, your no fun."
"Im also pregnant, and very moody at the moment. Don't try me."
"Sure Scully, whatever you say."
"Im driving."
"Ok." He says, I smile. He still doesn't know I rented the convertible, and a red one at that. Although it's already after 8, it's still like 70 something degrees outside. When we come upon the convertible Mulder eyes it. He gives me a funny look when I walk to the drivers side of it. "This is our car?"
"Yep."
He walks towards me and I immediately know what he's planning on doing. I quickly take the first thing that pops into my mind and run with it. I drop the keys down my blouse, I lift my eyebrows in challenge.
"You want me to go after them don't you Scully?"
"You think you're up for the challenge?"
He looks me up and down, then decides against going for them, knowing I'd kick his ass if he did, us being a couple or not. He sulks back to the other side of the car and waits for me to unlock the doors. I get it, unlock them, start the car, and press the button that sends the top down.
Then we take of for our new house, 54 Impala St. in a small town called Bay front, just outside of Tampa. When we arrive I instantly know why its called bay front, right behind our house is the beach. I look up at the house, marveling.
"Somehow, I don't think Kersh is the one who picked out this house." Mulder laughs.
"It's so beautiful." I sigh grabbing my overnight bag. "I think im going to like this case Mulder. I think im going to like it a lot." I walk to the house and open the door. The inside of the house nearly took my breath away. It was already furnished, and the first thing that I noticed was the living room. It was sort of jungle style. Mulder came in behind me and looked around the house, just as surprised at the beauty of it.
"Wow Scully, this place is--"
"Wonderful. I know. Im going to check out the rest of the house, then take a shower."
"I'll join you."
I got to bed a little later than planned.
a/n: I hope you liked this chapter, I wanted to give them a case that all four could go on, and undercover, im not sure what im going to exactly do with the case at this point. Im thinking that chapter 14 (the next after the next) might be Dogett/Reyes POV, cause I've never done their POV for a story before. Let me know if you think it's a good idea. And if not, I'll just throw that idea out. Thanks to everybody who's reviewed, like I said before I love feedback. I'll try and get the next chapter out soon.
Two days later
