12:00am
Mulder POV
It had worked. He was able to get Scully's mind off her sister with a movie and the action had its benefits. He was sitting there with his arm around her, feeling like the luckiest man alive. He knew though that the movie would not distract her forever. It was just a delay, a distraction from what had happened. But he would be there when the memories came flowing back and she truly realized what she had lost. He would stay as long as she needed him.
Did she know the truth? Not about extraterrestrials or conspiracies but about how much he loved her.
He looked down at her, she was asleep and the movie was over. He stretched himself and Scully across the couch being careful not to wake her up. He spread the sheets across them both and turned off the TV. "Good night Scully."
2:00am
Scully POV
She opened her eyes, where am I. Then she heard a heartbeat. Being careful not to move she realized that her head was on Mulder's chest. She must have fallen asleep during the movie. A huge smile spread across her face, 'since I'm here I might as well stay.' With that thought she closed her eyes and fell back to sleep.
Mulder POV
He hadn't been able to get to sleep knowing she was there next to him and he didn't want this moment to be short.
He could tell she had woken up by the quick intake of breath but he didn't move. He wanted to know what she would do waking up next to him. Scully began to stir but only slightly. She didn't leave but instead he could feel a smile forming against his chest. After a few moments her breathing became normal again as she feel back to sleep once more.
'She didn't leave. She smiled.' This was all he could think about the rest of the night. A huge smile was across his own face as he fell asleep.
