A/N: I'm really glad you guys like this, so I decided to add another chapter today.

Sarah had watched her dad's relationship with Ms. Scully, and it was stronger than ever. Ms. Scully had driven Sarah home every day since February, and the pair always went to apartment 42; they would stay there for hours, talking, watching movies, and hanging out with the man of the house. During school, things were different. Sarah and Ms. Scully were close, but they made sure that no one found out why they were so close, or that Ms. Scully knew Sarah's dad outside of the normal parent/teacher relationship; in other words, Dana acted as if she had only heard of Mr. Mulder from the two times she'd spoken to him at conferences, and from what Sarah had said about him. They pulled this off very well and as far as they knew, no one was even suspicious of anything.

Today was the last day of final exams. Sarah, Alaria, and Aretha still came to the classroom to hang out before they had to go take their finals. Dana decided to give them each a small gift. She pulled out three small pots with African violets in them.

"Here, these are for you guys, thanks for all the wonderful conversations in the mornings, I'm really going to miss you three in my classes next year." She said, hoping she would still be seeing them at Sarah's apartment.

"Aww, that's so sweet, you didn't have to do this for us." Alaria said. The other girls thanked her. At 8:15 the girls went off to their last exam, on the way out they double-checked their plan for later with each other. Exams lasted 90 minutes and all three girls met back at Sarah's locker. Sarah opened it and handed each of her friends a few bags. They went back towards Ms. Scully's room, but instead of going in they went to the room next door and asked if they could use the phone to have Ms. Scully called to the office. The teacher in there asked them why, and they told him they were having a surprise party for her. He said he'd take care of it and seconds later the P.A. system came to life.

"Dana Scully please come to the main office, Dana Scully to the main office." The girls watched her leave and when they knew she wouldn't look back they went into the classroom. Alaria had made a banner, and she hung it on the chalkboard. Sarah and Aretha got to work unloading the food from their bags. They had way more than the four of them could eat, but it was fun. Sarah told her friends that she had invited her dad, and he showed up just in time. Sarah put the gift bag on Ms. Scully's desk, and Mulder set a small box with pretty wrapping paper next to the bag.

Ms. Scully returned from the office five minutes later. She walked into the room slightly upset that she had to walk all the way down to the office just to be asked how she felt about her first year teaching at Greenlake High. Her mood was immediately lightened when she saw the people and items that occupied her classroom. She smiled and greeted Mulder with a hug and a quick kiss. Sarah handed her the bag with a present from the three girls in it. Dana opened it and smiled, they had made her a scrapbook. It was really well done, and she planned on keeping it forever. After she was done looking through it she noticed the box on her desk.

"Not yet, wait till after we all eat and celebrate your first year as a teacher." Sarah said, knowing exactly what the box was. About forty five minutes later they had eaten as much as they wanted and were playing a game of hangman at the chalkboard. Mulder was up, he handed the box to Dana and made the blanks for the letters on the board. There were two words, the first was five letters and the second was two letters.

The girls figured it out right away, Sarah told them what he was going to do, but didn't know how he was going to do it. Sarah guessed "R" Alaria guessed "M" and Aretha guessed "Y" now it looked like this: M-RRY / M-. Dana unwrapped the box, but didn't open it yet. She chose to solve it and took the chalk from Mulder to fill in the other letters herself. "MARRY / ME" was written on the board, Dana opened the box and saw a beautiful diamond ring shining back at her. She slipped it on her finger and pulled Mulder into a kiss that was definitely not appropriate for school.

"I'll take that as a yes." Mulder said when they broke apart.

"It's a yes, and then some." Dana replied. The whole group decided it was time to clean up and head home for the summer. Once the room was spotless, Sarah hugged her friends and promised to call them. Mulder gave Dana a quick kiss and told her he'd see her back at the apartment. Somewhere in the mix, she agreed to move in with him and Sarah. Sarah rode home with her father so she could talk to him about this new situation.

"How do you feel about Dana living with us?" Mulder asked his daughter.

"I'm not sure, it'll be different. I mean she was my teacher. I think it might get a little weird, but in a good way." Sarah wanted her dad to know that she supported his decisions, and she thought it would be nice to have a mother figure who didn't hurt her.

"Okay, If things get to weird for you, just let us know." Mulder told her.

End Part 4.

A/N: Sorry for skipping the parent-teacher conferences, I wanted to move along with the story and take the relationship to a new level, but it didn't seem right to have them getting married while Sarah was still in Scully's class. Oh and thanks to Teliko x3 for the line about it being weird in a good way. Keep the reviews coming; I think the next chapter will be the wedding!
