Chapter 6

October 31st 8:00 a.m.

Scully and Mulder sat on the couch comfortably. Scully had been asleep for a few hours now and she lay in his arms. He stroked her head gently until he heard her start to awake. He only had his boxers on and she only wore his shirt, which covered most everything since she was so much smaller then him.

Mulder smiled at her as she started to open her eyes, "Morning." She half smiled, trying to wake up still, and he took his arm away from around her.

"How'd you sleep?" Scully asked trying to get up a little. Mulder grinned, "Who slept!"

After a few more minutes she started to really wake up but it was hard. She kept leaning back against his chest, not only because she was cold but because just having her skin touch his warmed not only her body but her mind and soul.

Mulder wrapped his arms back around her and kissed the top of her head like he had the times before. She closed her eyes again and fell asleep quickly.

After another half hour or so Scully woke up again. She found she was now lying down on her couch with the blanket around her and her head carefully placed on a pillow. She got up rubbing her eyes and then getting a whiff of what smelt like bacon. She got up stretching and headed around the corner to her kitchen, there she saw Mulder cooking up a storm. He had four pans on the stove and two plates ready to go. It took him a minute to realize she was there but when he did he had her sit at her table.

"Mulder you really don't have to do this you know," She wanted to at least help him. Mulder just smiled and brought two plates over. The food looked fabulous and she was very hungry. He left the table and came back with two coffees and an orange juice to share.

Once he sat down and relaxed a bit he looked up to see Scully grinning at him.

"What?" Mulder asked. Scully smiled wider then looked away, "I just didn't realize you treated you're fiancé's so well." He smiled, "Well just to tell you a secrete, I've treated you best out of the four."

Scully grinned wider, "Oh I'm sure all right!"

After the two shared a nice breakfast and chatted, Mulder cleaned up the dishes, still not letting Scully help. After he was done with that, he sat down at the table again, next to Scully.

"I'm going to swing home and get changed then come back here, ok?" Scully nodded and he went to get his jacket. She stopped him before he left though, "Why don't you bring an overnight bag and some extra clothes?" Mulder was able to tell this was Scully's way of inviting him to stay a few extra days, and he smiled. She waited for some sort of audio response but he finally responded with a simple kiss on her cheek.

After he left Scully put her hand over her cheek- just because they had slept together it didn't change the effect he had over her. She went to her bedroom after a moment's pause, to get dressed. She felt like taking a shower but was too lazy and tired to actually venture into the tub.

It didn't seem like much time had passed when Mulder knocked on her door. He stood in the doorway with a large grin.

"What?" Scully asked as he stepped into the room. He set down the two bags he had in his hands then sat at her kitchen table again.

"Well?" Scully was always curious. He put his hand on hers, which lay on her knee, then trying to keep a straight face he started, "you know my friend, Jim?"

Scully nodded, "yeah…"

"Well, him and his fiancé have invited us to their wedding." Scully's eyebrow slowly rose, "and you being you, said of course we'd go, right?"

Mulder grinned, "You know me all too well."

"Ok Mulder, here's the rules though- after the wedding's over we 'split up', during the wedding if you touch me I'll smack you, and no getting us even more involved. I don't want to be a brides maid, I don't want to pass out fliers, I don't want to make any speeches- got it?" Mulder smiled softly, "Thanks for going with me."

She nodded as he slid his hand up on her leg and kissed her neck softly. She pushed him away jokingly and tried to get away from him. He chased her around the room playfully until he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her once more.

Maybe gong to this wedding wouldn't be so bad after all.
