SCULLY RESIDENCE

SATURDAY

Mulder and Scully went in to change into their bathing suits. By the time Scully was changed, Mulder was no where to be found. 'He probably went out to the pool already' she thought.

As Scully made her way through the backyard she noticed that only a handful of people were still there. She looked to the pool and sure enough Mulder was already there. She started toward the pool and watched Mulder pick up one of the kids and throw him into the deep end. The next kid watched in amazement then lifted his arms up to Mulder in a "me next" manner. In the middle of the throw Mulder caught sight of Scully in the corner of his eye.

He finished throwing the kid and turned to Scully with a small smile on his face. She looked beautiful in her black one piece bathing suit. She came to the edge of the pool and sat down with her legs dangling in the water. She kept her gaze on the water and how her legs made ripples but she could tell his eyes were one her. She lifted her head to look at him but before he got caught starring he turned to the kids in line whispered "I think it's about time you all got out of the pool and dry off. I hear your moms calling you." They all whimpered a bit but slowly they all got out.

Mulder turned to Scully and said "It's about time you got out her Scully. I was about ready to send in these kids after you."

She just smiled in response. "Well Mulder, it would have been a big shock for one of them if they had walked in on me while I was changing."

"Well in that case I think I should have gone looking." He submerged before he could see the shock on her face. Before she knew what was going on, he had her be the ankles and pulled her into the pool. The cold water hit her hard and she quickly swam to the surface. When she surfaced she quickly looked around for Mulder. She spotted him on the other side of the pool. He had a smirk on his face. 'Oh he's going to get it' she thought.

Slowly she started to swim toward him. As she swam she kept her eyes locked with his and a sexy smile on her face. As she thought, he just stood there not really knowing what to do.

He was stunned motionless by the look on her face. 'Damn she's sexy' he thought.

When she got within a foot of him she jumped on his head and pushed him under. They were in an area just her height and she moved to stand with her back against the pool wall and relaxed her arm on the pool deck.

Mulder was still under water. He had his eyes open and watched her as she situated herself against the side. He moved toward her and put and arm on each side of her body, careful not to touch. She watched him do this and hesitated moving. Slowly he planted his feet on the bottom and rose all the while keeping his arms on either side of her. She was transfixed as he rose out of the water. With his hand on the wall supporting him he leaned in toward her. "That wasn't very nice Miss Scully."

She just smirked and leaned toward him, challenging him, "well Mulder if I remember correctly, it was you who started this."

Realizing that the moment couldn't last much longer before it got awkward he pushed off from the wall. "Well I'm sorry if I couldn't wait much longer for you to get in the pool with me."

He kept his eyes on her as he started swimming backwards toward the deep end. She smiled and started following him. She kept the same pace as him so not to get farther or closer away. He stopped where he could touch with the water just below his chin. She kept swimming until she was right next to him. Because she couldn't touch she had to keep moving but he saw this and grabbed her. "Here" his expression and tone were serious as were hers. He turned so that his back was to her. He pulled her arms around his neck and hesitantly grabbed her legs and wrapped them around his waist. As she relaxed and became more comfortable, she slowly lowered her head onto her arm so that their heads were side by side. She turned her head and whispered into his ear "thanks."

They were quiet as Mulder moved around the deep end while Scully relaxed on his back. Maggie Scully watched all of this through her kitchen window and smiled. She turned to toward her remaining guests and guided them out the door.
