She woke up with tears in her eyes and on her cheek. She could feel his
shirt, wet underneath her face.
"You were crying in your sleep." She looked up at him as memories began to return to her. She started to cry once again.
His arms tightened around her.
After a few moments she was able to get in control and stood up. Wiping away the tears she asked him if he wanted breakfast.
"Sure, I'll help." He started to get up.
"No, I got it."
"Well then at lest let me set up the table," he said with a slight grin.
"Okay, were having pancakes so set out the syrup."
"Yes mam!"
4 Weeks Later
The days after Melissa was shot were normal (for the X files anyway). Cases were relatively easy and none of them were connected to the cigarette smoking man. The time was really spent socializing. In the past four weeks Mulder and Scully had gotten closer.

"Hey Scully, what are you doing for Christmas?"
Mulder and Scully were sitting at their desk finishing up their last file before their Christmas break.
Scully looked up from her file. "Nothing really, why do you ask?"
With a hopeful look in his eyes, he tipped back his chair on two legs and started to nervously run his hand through his hair. "Well, my friend owns a cabin and he said I could use it during Christmas. I was wondering if you would like to spend the week with me."
Scully stared at Mulder but couldn't keep the smile from growing on her face. Trying to keep her voice serious, "Sure Mulder, I'd love to spend the week with you."
"REALY, I mean great," he crossed his arms and looked at her with a satisfied smile on his face. Not really concentrating on his actions he leaned farther back on his chair but pushed it a little too far and fell backwards.
Scully stood up and looked at him on the other side of the desk. "I guess that means you're excited at the idea of spending Christmas with me."
Mulder looked up and blushed "Uhh, yeah."
