"What do you mean Richard Niles has escaped?" Scully sat up when she heard him reply to Skinner. He hung up the cell phone.

"Look Scully, Niles has escaped I think that those witch craft materials were present so he could prolong his magic." She looked shock but she was deeply disappointed.

"Do you want me to come with you Mulder?"

"No, you stay here get some sleep!"

"Ok, I'll see you in the morning you might as well book another night or two as well this seems like a long case to me." He exited towards the door.

"Oh and Scully?"

"Yes Mulder?" She said tired.

"In case we don't get to do this anymore in Washington." He grabbed her bent her in downwards motion and kissed her as hard as he could. He let her up and walked out the door.

"Wow Mulder, don't do things by halves will you?" She said to herself.

She looked at wine left on the table and sighed drinking both the left overs in one. She decided to call it a night and go to bed.

Scully woke to someone sat on her bed. It was Mulder with flowers.

"Morning Mulder did a guy down the hall break his leg again?"

"Yeah I've told him to be more careful." He said still looking serious.

"That guys an accident waiting to happen." She said joining in the personal joke.

"Well sorry about last night but we caught him."

"You don't need to say sorry, I enjoyed it."

"I'm sorry for leaving you. I'm definitely not sorry for that." She sat up further and smiled. "It's taken me eight years to get the courage to make a step I'm not going back on anything and if you don't feel the same way then that's fine I hope it doesn't effect us but Scully, I love you, I love you so much I realised I loved you when you were abducted. That's why I'd do anything to kill the men that gave you cancer." She giggled.

"Mulder shut up I love you too, I thought it was obvious." He smiled at her remark. She lay down on the bed reluctant to get out of it. She hadn't realised the time it was 3:00am she thought it must've been about 8:00.

"Anyway I better be getting to my room." He said looking quiet embarrassed at everything he just confessed.

"No Mulder stay in here tonight." He smiled and she kissed him. It become more passionate he unbuttoned her pyjama top. Not as passionate as two nights previous but more romantic. He carried on kissing her as he undressed her and she did the same. The next thing they knew he was on top of her. It felt amazing he gathered it must've been because he'd told her how he felt and she told him too. She ran her hands through his crunchy soft hair. They were both in ecstasy and love.

Mulder woke up this time it was nearer to 8:00 it was 9:30 am. Scully looked beautiful next to him. Her red hair spread across his chest. Her pale face contrasting with his dark skin. He scrolled his fingers across her bare back and kissed her. She looked so beautiful lying there. He kissed her lips and her eyes flickered. He just stared at her, he'd been staring for about 30 minutes it was 10:00am.

"Good morning."

"Mulder why didn't you wake me its 10:00 am?"

"You looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you." He looked in her deep blue eyes.

"Shut up Mulder." She said pressing her lips to his he forgot how good it felt. He loved her more than anything.
