Scully entered the hospital room with a grin. Mulder was watching TV but turned it off as soon as he saw her in the doorway.
"How's your head?" She smiled as she walked near the end of the bed. He grinned, "better, to say the least." She walked around to his right side, taking a look at his heart rate and the other machines connected to him. He looked up at her as she read the different things, finally she looked back down at him. She smiled and let out a little laugh, she got caught up in the medical stats at hospitals too much sometimes.
"I've got some bad news…" she said with a smile still.
"What?" Mulder asked. Scully pulled the chair over and sat as close as she could. She placed her elbows on the bed and played with a corner of the bed sheet, "the whole thing was caught on tape…"
Mulder smiled, "you mean they caught the ball hitting me! Awe man… that'll be played on all those silly baseball outtakes…"
Scully interrupted him, "I mean, the whole thing was caught on tape… all of it." Mulder frowned, not understanding at first. Then, like a light bulb turned on, he took in a deep breath, "oh." Scully blushed a little, keeping her head down so he wouldn't see.
"I'm sorry about that…" he informed looking away from her, "I didn't mean for things to get out of hand…"
Scully nodded, she wasn't sure what to think of the situation either, "It's not that you should be sorry… I mean… I mean, what happened happened. Maybe we should fa-face that…" Scully spoke hesitantly as she looked up at him. Mulder tilted his head, thinking, as he gazed into her blue eyes. He lightly put his hand over hers, she had still been playing with the cloth. She dropped the part of the sheet and let his fingers curl in between hers. She couldn't keep looking at him, she was trying to fight the feeling. She looked at their hands, which represented more then the kiss itself. He was holding on to her, he was holding her hand so delicately. Soon she felt his other hand under her chin. He lifted her head slowly, and finally her eyes matched back with his. He slowly started to bring her closer and she stood from the seat, never letting go of his hand.
He pulled her close to him then let his hand drift back on the bed. She was leaning in somewhat and it was his turn to bring himself toward her. She licked her lips lightly before he touched his against hers. It was like their first kiss, slow and delicate. Scully pulled away after only a second, she rested her forehead against his.
He listened to her heavy breathing a few moments before he rolled his forehead off of hers and brought his lips to her again. She closed her eyes giving up all hope of holding back. She slid onto the bed, resting her hand on his thigh. Her legs hung off the bed and he placed one of his hands on her twisting waist. They pulled apart once more, Scully slowly opened her eyes as Mulder tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She bowed her head down and he kissed her forehead gently.
She smiled as he slid his cheek against hers, then tilting his head to kiss her again. Every bone in her body was tingling, she couldn't help but let out a deep moan. She slid her hand from his thigh to his chest, pulling herself closer to him. He rested his hand on her neck gently as the kiss became more passionate then either had anticipated. He wouldn't let her break free for air, luckily she didn't need it. With her other hand, Scully slid it up against his arm that connected to her waist. She slid it past his shoulder to behind his head. She slipped her fingers into his hair and pulled him closer.
Her phone rang for the fourth time before either of them broke out of their 'moment'. Scully took her hand away from his head and pulled the phone out of her jacket. Mulder wouldn't let her go easily though, she finally was able to pull from his lips. She got up quickly and turned her back to Mulder. He waited patiently while she talked to whoever it was. Everything seemed to be going alright when he heard a change in her voice, he looked over at her concerned now. She looked back at him only once before putting her back to him again. He knew that face expression of hers though, he knew something was wrong.
When she hung up the phone she paused a minute before turning to face him again. She didn't know what to say, and from the looks of it she was pretty upset.
"What's going on?" Mulder asked. Scully walked to the end of the bed, "I'm glad you're ok Mulder… I'm, uh, going to go get a little air…" she spoke with shaky words and left swiftly before he could stop her.
He looked around the room, mainly out the door to make sure no nurses were around. He un-strapped the Velcro around his left arm and got out of the bed quietly. The floor was cold and he felt a draft. He pulled on his clothes which were lying on a chair and departed the room to find Scully.
