Seeing is Believing                                                                                   

Scully pov

My eyes open suddenly trying to figure out where I am.  It is then that I realize that I am in bed with a very naked Mulder.

Oh my.

I get out of bed slowly, being ever so careful not to awaken the sleeping body next to me.  I put on Mulder's shirt that is hanging over the chair and I walk towards the window, my arms folded underneath my chest.Why had it taken us so long to admit our feelings toward one another?  Fear? Rejection?   Has our work clouded our minds somehow, making us believe that we are good as partners, but nothing more than good friends outside of work?  I fell in love with this man years ago, always hiding my feelings when he is hurt, secretly thinking that somehow he would find out, that he could see right through me.

Now I know the truth

I know that he loves me, with the same intensity as me.  He is my world, and I am his.

I glance out the window, wondering just what this new relationship will bring us.  I believe that this will cease the loneliness that we have in our hearts for love.  There will be nothing more to hide between us, thus making us even stronger when we are out in the field. 

I believe. 

As I hear Mulder move within the sheets, I turn my head to look at him, and smile.

I love him

"What are you doing out of bed, baby?"  Mulder asked sleepily.

"Just thinking."  I said as I began to walk toward the bed.

"Well stop thinking, and come back to bed."  Mulder said, as he sat up in the bed. "I'm cold."

I obey, taking off his shirt and laying it back on the chair. I feel his eyes on me as I perform this task. As I sit on the bed, I feel Mulder's arms clasp around my neck. 

"Ready for round two?"  He whispers in my ear.

"More than ready." I say as I begin to kiss his lips.

Seeing is believing.

A/N sorry that is has taken me so long guys!  No I am not done posting this.  There are at least three or four parts to go!!
