Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews…again. You all are great!
She found her living room to be much more comfortable then his. It wasn't that he did not have a nice apartment, it was just the fact that she didn't feel too well. It always feels better to be home when you are sick. She sat in her white pajamas wrapped in a blanket on the couch flipping through the channels on her TV. She could hear him fumbling around in the kitchen looking for something but did not bother getting up to help. He had insisted on her staying put and getting some rest while he got her some tea. After a few more minutes he emerged from the small kitchen with two cups of tea. He placed them on the coffee table and sat down next to her. His weight on the couch caused her body to tilt closer to his. With his arms he pulled her close to him so that her head was against his chest.
"Feeling any better?" He asked as he brushed a piece of hair off of her face. She smiled a bit, trying to cover up any bit of discomfort that may have shown on her face.
"I think I'm just tired. I should be fine after a good nights sleep." She let her head drop back on to his comforting chest.
"I think I should stay the night, just incase you need anything." He replied.
"Oh, is that really why?" She asked sarcastically. He smiled a bit too.
"You're good at taking care of people Mulder. I've always liked that about you." She added, looking back up at his face. She could tell he was tired, his eyes were slowly fading. She stood up slowly off of the couch, un-wrapping the blanket from around her body.
"C'mon, let's go to bed.
The next morning Scully awoke to the sound of Mulder rustling through the bag he had packed for himself the night before. She watched as he laid out his work suit across her bed.
"Good morning sunshine." She greeted him, still half asleep.
"I didn't mean to wake you. You should think about staying home today." He sat down next to her on the bed.
"I'm actually feeling much better Mulder. I think I'm going to take a shower." She sat up from the bed and removed the covers. As soon as she stood up she knew that she was feeling much better then she had the day before.
"Yeah, I'm fine Mulder. I feel much better. It must have been that salad I got for lunch yesterday. There was something about that deli we stopped at that just screamed bad choice." She smiled, rubbing her stomach.
"Well then next time you can choose where we get lunch. I'm done trying to impress you." He replied with a smile on his face.
"Food poisoning is definitely not the way to a girl's heart Mulder."
They both took there own cars to the office that morning. They had to be extremely careful now not to be seen together too much or else all kinds of rumors would start spreading about them. Scully walked in to the building first, and Mulder followed exactly five minutes behind her. As she entered the office Scully saw a case file waiting for them on the one and only desk in the office. She skimmed through the details quickly. Just as she finished Mulder entered the office.
"What do we have here?" He asked as he set down his briefcase.
"Mulder, we're going back to Roswell. There have been numerous reports of an alien aircraft landing there…again." She through the file across the desk to her partner, unsure what to think of what she had read.
"Let's get Skinner on the phone. This is either the worlds meanest April Fools joke ever, or we've got something substantial to deal with."
Okay, this is a bit short, but I'm gonna try to add more tonight!
