Thanks guys, I kind of felt like you guys at the up, not totally full filled so I'm going to keep going.

Later that night, Scully was awoken by a television on the frits, someone's snoring, and the feeling of laying on someone. The room was dark except for the light emitting from the television. Reaching over to the remote she hit the power button. She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes letting them adjust to the lighting. Now being able to see, she figured out where the snoring was coming from and who she was lying on, it was Mulder. His head was bent back in what looked to be an uncomfortable position, probably causing the snoring. She reached up lightly and tilted his head forward, instantly the snoring stopped. But know she could observe his beautiful features. How his eye lashes lighting brushed up against his cheeks. How his lips still poked out a little. Oh how she wanted to kiss those lips.

It was amazing how less than six hours ago she couldn't stand the sight of him, and now she didn't want him out of her sight. She listened to his breathing and felt his chest rising and falling with every breath. She turned her head to the side and laid her ear flat against his chest. His heart was beating slow and steady. Her arms and hands slowly began to wrap around his waist. Mulder being there like that made her feel safe and almost normal. That was her only birthday wish to, being normal for one night, not sleeping in some dirty hotel room, or doing a late night autopsy. No, she wanted something as simple as watching TV and falling asleep on the couch and that's what she received.

Scully was falling asleep again, content at just staying there in that moment. The soft beating of his heart and the slow rising and falling of his cheat finally put her back into a deep slumber, so she didn't feel it when his hands moved some of her hair away from her face and his other hand wrapped around her shoulders.

He'd felt her moving, turning his head, although he was deep in his sleep, he felt it. However, now he was awake and looking down at the top of her head. It was amazing how her little body could fit so perfectly on top of his. She seemed so tall when they were at work wearing those high hell pumps and tailored suits. But now, with her lying on top of him, he could finally see how small and almost fragile she was. Why, subconsciously, he always felt the need to protect her. She was petite on the outside, but her inner recesses were what showed him how powerful she was. He needed worry as much as he did about you. She was quite capable of taking care of herself. All he needed to do now was love her.

He grabbed the blanket that was thrown over the back of the sofa and covered them both. He took one last look at her still form, rested his hand on her hair and closed his eyes.

"Mulder?" A voice came from within the darkness.

"Yea, I'm sorry Scully did I wake you?"

"No, not really." Scully shifted her head, so that she was looking up at him although she couldn't really make out his face in the shadows.

"Sorry I fell asleep on you."

"It's okay; I guess we both were pretty tired. I guess I'll be getting home now." He pulled the blanket back and shifted his left toward the side of the sofa.

"No Mulder don't, I mean you don't have to go. Stay" grabbing his hand.

"Are you sure Scully? He asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I want you to stay." She spoke almost desperately, shifting her body up, so that she could see his face.

"Do you want to leave?" She asked lying her chin down in the middle of his chest.

This caused Mulder to pause and think, he'd never thought of Scully to be upfront and personal before, or with him.

"No, no I don't."

"So stay, make my wish come true."

"Well, you are the birthday girl."

"Yes, yes I am Mulder."

He ran his fingers through her hair stopping at the base of her neck. There was so much that he wanted to say, to do, but this was perfect, just laying here in the dark nothing saying much, but speaking so loud. He gazed into her eyes trying to decipher their world in an instant. What he found was curiosity, hope and a little thing called love.

After a few moments,Scully suddenly blinked andhe did the only thing there was left to do; he kissed her, fully and completely on the lips. At first there was hesitation but, soon there was just tenderness, devotion and acceptance. Scully moved further up sliding her hand under his head, relaxing into the kiss. Mulder wrapped his arms around her body; securely hold her in place, while running his hands through her soft curls.

They finally broke the connection and just gazed into each other's eyes. No words were spoken none were needed. Scully got her birthday wish and Mulder, more than he wanted. Maybe they would speak about certain terms and agreements in the morning. Not tonight though, tonight they would enjoy bring with each other.

"Scully?"

"Hmmm?"

"Happy Birthday."

With that Scully kissed him, thanking him for everything. She buried her head into the crook of his neck and fell back asleep. Maybe tomorrow they would talk.
