This can't be true. I just thought that she was his ex-girlfriend or something. Not his ex-wife. I didn't know or ever thought once that they were married. Yes, they were married. Three years to be exact. But, how would I know if he never told me? I thought that we told each other everything.

My cell phone rings and interrupt me from my thoughts and I answer it.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey Scully, it's me." Mulder said. "I got some more garbage bags while I went shopping and you said that I wouldn't remember." Mulder sounded as if he had triumph in his voice.

"Did you have to go back to the store because you forgot them the first time?" I asked as she looked at the marriage certificate. Mulder didn't catch the slight hint of sadness in my voice.

"Yes, but that's not the point. You said that I wouldn't remember on my own." I rolled my eyes. "Now can you come down and help me bring the groceries up?"

"Yeah." I said, and then I hung up the phone. I looked at the marriage certificate one last time, and then put it in my pocket. After I helped Mulder carry up the groceries, we threw away the trash in his apartment and sorted out his groceries to see where they went. I was in a trance as I sorted out the groceries. All I could think about was the marriage certificate.

"Is something wrong, Scully?" Mulder asked as he ate a grape out of the bag.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." I lied. "I just need to go to the bathroom." I got up and walked to the bathroom in his bedroom. His guest bathroom toilet was clogged up and the plumber hasn't come by yet.

As I entered the bathroom, I pulled out the marriage certificate and looked at it. They were married from 1987 to 1990. I wonder what really happened. Why did Diana really go to Europe? Did I really want to know the answer to that? No. Besides, I would have to wait for Mulder to tell me. He would wonder how I found out about his past marriage. It really didn't matter whether or not that he explained what happened between Diana and him. What matter was that he never told me and I had to find out my coming across it accidentally.

I closed the bathroom door, and then sat down on the toilet cover. I read the marriage certificate.

Diana Fowley

Mulder was married to her and didn't tell me. It's not like he had to, but you would think that he would have since were best friends. It's just after all the things that we've been through, and he couldn't tell me about a simple marriage. But, then again nothing has ever been simple for Mulder. I may be over reacting, but when you think about it, I'm not. We've been best friends and partners for seven years. Also, Mulder acts totally and completely unprofessional when he works with his ex's. When treats me so differently and becomes a stranger to me when these women are around. How can this not affect me?

Phoebe Green. She was his ex-girlfriend and the women who broke his heart. But, yet he could drop everything fast enough to please her. Mulder didn't even want me around to help him, but I did anyway. I know he was glad I came because he would've have coped well if I didn't.

Melissa Riedel-Ephesian. She claimed to be his supposed soul mate. He acted so differently from the man I knew and I hardly recognized him. He believed everything that she said and wouldn't give me the time of day, except to prove what she said. She told him that they were soul mates in the field where he died in a past life not that I believed that> and he was so shaken by it. It was mainly because he believed it and could 'feel it'. Funny thing, I died in that same field as she told him that.

Diana Fowley. She was his ex-wife and a believer. Mulder believed everythingshe said and nothing I said. She betrayed, hurt, and left him, but he still trusted her. What happened to 'Trust no one', but then again he also said, 'I want to believe.' It's funny how those two contradict each other.

Mulder is a confusing man and I stopped trying to figure out certain parts about him a long time ago. I was always the person who picked up the pieces after these women left him, but yet he can't trust me enough to tell me about this.

Of course, there were other women like Bambi, Detective White, and the blind woman who could see, but couldn't. But, they weren't as bad as the other three, not even close.

I guess the reason I'm taking this past marriage so hard is because I am in love with him. And it hurts like hell to see him around other women. Especially, with his split personalities. He loves me one minute and can't trust me another.That's why I didn't believe him when he told me that he loved me. How could I with all that's happened and now? It's other reasons also, but one summed it all up.

It wasn't that I'm not his type; it was that I didn't stand a chance. The women that Mulder liked were tall, full figured, and either naïve or really deceiving. I was neither and didn't want to be. So, I gave up hope a long time ago and stopped trying to get his attention in that way.

A tear fell on the marriage certificate and I wiped my face off. Turns out that I was silently crying the whole time and didn't even know it. My face was moist and damp from the tears and my nose was a little runny. I got up off the toilet seat and checked my face to see if anything gave away that I was crying. No, I was safe. I was glad that my eyes weren't red and I rinsed my face off and wiped my nose.

After I left out of the bathroom, I put the marriage certificate under his mattress. I decided to sit on his bed for a while and ended up lying on my back. I put my hands in front of my face and examined them, and then my eyes settled on my wedding finger Not once in my life have I worn an engagement ring or wedding band on this finger. But, Mulder has. For three years.

The closest that I have gotten to being married is having an affair. His name is Daniel Waterston and he was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, but that's not the point. I was never married. Daniel claimed he would leave his wife and kids for me. I wonder if that is what happened between Mulder and Diana. No, Mulder's too noble for that.

"Scully, what's…" Mulder stopped as he saw Scully lying on his bed. "Oh, I see that you want to make good use of the bed."

I gave him a smile that was only reserved for him. I couldn't stay mad at him forever eventhough I wanted to. I was still mad, but I didn't want to give it away."No, I would prefer the couch."

Mulder looked at me and stood in shock.

"Mulder, you better stop making these sexual innuendoes, unless you can make good on them." I looked outside the window and could see that the sun was setting. "I'm glad we finished cleaning up before sunset."

"Why?" Mulder asked as he stared with the sunset with me.

"Because the light was there to show things that we couldn't see after the darkness settles." I knew Mulder wouldn't understand what I meant by the double meaning.

I walked out of his apartment building and into my car. I knew I couldn't meddle into certain parts of Mulder's personal life just like he couldn't with mine. If he didn't want to tell me about his marriage with Diana then I wouldn't tell him about my affair with Daniel. With that thought I drove off into the sunset.

THE END. – FEEDBACK WELCOMED

A/N: I have a few things to tell you, so you aren't confused. First, I have always wondered about Mulder's bathroom. He has to have two if his room was way too crowded to get in before the 'Dreamland' episodes. And one was in his bedroom in 'All Things'. So, he would have to have a spare one wouldn't he? Where would he go if he only had one and it was in his bedroom? And I know that Mulder would have cleaned it up eventually if there was only onebathroom.I read a story where in the author's note someone put that fact that Mulder said 'Trust no one', and then turned around and said 'I want to Believe. Those two do contradict each other, but he takes the both of those sayings to heart. - LOL.

I also, noticed that Mulder acts really different around certain women and does Scully bogus when it comes to the other women. Some people always assume that Mulder can always tell when something is wrong. In my opinion, that is wrong. Mulder can sometimes be blinded by certain things and can't see when Scully is hurting. I don't think that Diana was working with CSM, until she came back to the states. That's unless they stated that she did in the show. I do dislike Diana, but I think that there were other resons why she left. And this was set in 1999. I was counting when they first were partnered which was 1992, so seven years would back it 1999, of course.
