My Brother's Best Friend
A story by Government Patsy
Chapter 13
Mulder POV
When Dana told me she might be pregnant, I got so nervous. It felt like being punched right in the gut and I didn't say anything for several minutes. I was effectively stunned.
But then I thought more seriously about it… and when I thought about a life growing inside of her… a life that we created together… I couldn't hide my excitement. After sitting silent for a good while, Dana trying to calm me down, I just broke into the biggest smile and kissed her.
At first she did the "pee on a stick" test. It was the slowest two minutes of my life, I was holding my breath the whole time. When she finally came out of the bathroom and told me that it was positive, I broke into a big grin. A few days later she went to her doctor and they confirmed what the first test said.
Dana has been way more stressed out about this than me. She's only just started medical school and we'd talked about getting married in June. But she'll be in her third trimester by then and she doesn't want to be uncomfortably pregnant on her wedding day or show in the wedding pictures. We were discussing whether to wait until after she's given birth but we both really want to be married before we have a child together.
I think a lot of our friends and relatives were very surprised when they received our wedding invitation in late November for our winter wedding in February.
Nothing is happening the way we planned it but neither one of us could be any happier. I can't wait to be married to the love of my life. I can't wait for her to start showing either.
As much of a surprise as this was and as bad as the timing has been, I can tell that Dana is truly happy as well. When I suggested that we look for a house together, her eyes lit up. She wants us to be a family just as much as I do. We've been looking at a lot of houses in the area and one afternoon in December our real estate agent finally nailed it. We'll be moving into an amazing house, a little further out of town than we first imagined. But it's so quiet and peaceful - it has quite a big back garden as well. It's pretty much smack in the middle between our parents' houses - which they're both very excited about.
Even though our parents are happy that we're settling down somewhere close to them, they do seem a bit perplexed as to why we are moving and getting married so fast. We haven't told anybody about the pregnancy yet. Nobody but Melissa knows about it and we've decided not to tell anyone until after the wedding - mainly for the sake of our grandparents which are all a bit conservative when it comes to things like that… and because of Dana's father too. I think he's the one we're the most worried about telling the big news. He's obviously never been a fan of mine. And he definitely doesn't think I'm good enough for his daughter. I have no idea how he'll react when we inevitably have to tell him that I knocked her up… a few months into medical school… before I married her…
But luckily it'll be a bit over a month until we have to tell him anything. We're getting married in early February and about a week after our wedding, we're moving into our new house. We've already found new tenants for the apartment which my dad still owns.
This year we're spending Christmas with my family at the cabin by Sequoia National Park. Dana is beyond excited about being back at the cabin this winter, she really loves the place. My parents have made a few changes to the rooms upstairs - there's no more bunk beds and all the rooms have been upgraded slightly. After Dana praised the cabin so much, they've been spending a bit more time at the cabin, something they haven't done much since Sam and I were kids, really.
"What did your parents think about you spending Christmas with us?" my mom asks Dana.
Dana and I are sharing an armchair in front of the fireplace, my parents are on the couch together and my sister is sprawled out on the smaller couch. It's Christmas Eve and we've only just finished unpacking our stuff and settled down in front of the fire that my dad has started.
"Well, they were a bit sad but my mother was excited for me," she shrugs and takes a sip from her hot coco.
"And your father?" my mom pushes, raising her eyebrow at the way Dana frased her response.
"Well…" Dana trails off, I can tell she doesn't quite know what to say.
"Dana's father doesn't really like me," I chuckle, immediately getting an elbow to my side from Dana. "What? He doesn't!"
"Why not?" my mom asks, sounding upset.
"My brother got into some trouble in high school after he started hanging out with Mulder and my parents thought he was a bad influence," Dana tries to explain.
"I remember the accident," my dad nods his head. "Fox was covering for Bill though."
"My parents didn't know that," Dana sighs, looking down to her lap.
"You're such a nice young man, Fox!" my mom still sounds upset about this. "I don't understand how anyone can think differently!"
"Me neither!" Dana sighs. "But I'm sure my dad will come around! My mom loves you, Mulder! My dad just needs more time…"
"He's had a lot of time…" I shrug. "He never gave me a fair chance - ever since I gave you a lift home he's just hated me."
"What happened?" Sam asks, her interest in the conversation peaking.
"Nothing!" I sigh deeply. "Dana was 14 - she was just Bill's little sister back then! I gave her a ride home from school so she didn't have to ride her bike in the rain!"
"That was nice of you!" my mom sticks up for me.
"Well…" my dad chuckles. "If an 18-year-old boy drove Sam home at age 14, I might have had something to say about that too…"
"Dad!" Sam rolls her eyes at him. "Fox isn't like that!"
"Well, I don't see how Dana's father would know that back then…" he trails off.
"I can't believe you're defending him over your own son!" I chuckle.
"And he's had years to change his mind now," Dana says, leaning into my side. "There's no excuse, really."
"I'll have to have a talk with him when I finally meet your parents, Dana," my mum says decidedly.
"Mom!" I sigh. "I don't think I'll earn his respect by sending my mom to defend me."
"We'll see about that, honey," she just smiles and shrugs.
I sigh deeply and Dana chuckles, looking up at me.
"What?" I whisper to her as my mom and Sam carry on with a different conversation.
She looks over to the rest of my family before she leans closer and whispers directly into my ear.
"Are we going to bed soon?" her voice tickles the sensitive skin on my ear and neck - her words are making my cock stir.
Everytime we talk about Dana's father's disapproval of me, Dana gets turned on. I could delve into that with my background in psychology but to be honest; I don't really care. Whenever Dana's turned on, I don't really care about anything else, honestly.
I look down at my watch. It's almost 10 o'clock. I get up from the chair, taking Dana's hand as I stand up and pull her up behind me.
"We're turning in," I tell my family. "It's been a long day."
"Alright, dear," my mom gets up to give Dana a hug and to kiss my cheek.
"Goodnight, kids," dad says from his spot on the couch and Sam chimes in with him.
As soon as we make it upstairs and get into the guest bedroom, our lips lock and we hurriedly undress ourselves and each other. I bury myself inside of her as soon as I can and she moans deeply and clings onto me.
"You're being a bit loud, babe," I whisper breathily into her ear as I move in and out of her, a grin on my face.
"You feel so good," she manages to utter through her moans, her nails digging into the skin on my upper back.
"Dana," I half chuckle - she seems completely unaware of our surroundings. "My family is going to hear you!"
"Oh fuck!" she buries her face in my shoulder in an effort to quiet herself. "Keep going, Mulder! Please!"
"Mmmh," I bite my lip and continue to make love to this amazing woman.
Ever since we found out that Dana is pregnant our sex life has changed a little bit. We still desire each other but I'm definitely way more tender with her than I was before - which actually seems to annoy Dana. But I can't help it - she's carrying our child!
I stop moving when Dana suddenly pushes against my shoulder and starts moving against me.
"Let me be on top?" she asks eagerly, continuously pushing against me.
I roll onto my back and Dana immediately settles in my lap, moving up and down on top of me. I move my hands to her breasts but she immediately removes them and pins my hands to the bed above my head. I look questioningly up at her at this but I can feel myself grow even harder inside of her. I'm pretty sure that Dana feels it too because she tries to hold back a moan as she tightens her grip on my wrists. Dana has always been very submissive in the bedroom and I've always loved dominating her… her dominating me now… it's honestly never happened before and I want nothing more than to reverse our roles instantly. The only problem is, if I do that this won't be very gentle.
"Keep your hands there!" she orders me, moving her hands from mine and down to my chest.
I clench my jaw… she's provoking me…
Her nails dig into my skin hard as she continues to move on top of me. It's deliciously painful. I bite my lip and fist my hands in the sheets above my head.
"Are you gonna be a good little slut for me?" she asks me, her one hand still scratching my chest while she moves her other hand down to her clit, moving her fingers over it a few times in a deep moan before moving her fingers to my mouth.
"Taste me," she demands and I suck on her fingers, my cock twitching inside of her.
That's my line… she's doing what I desperately want to do… and she damn well knows it…
"Are you gonna be a man? Or do you want to continue being a little bitch?" she asks me, grinding back and forth on top of me.
I can't do this anymore. I can't help myself any longer. I move her hands out of my mouth and off my chest as I sit up, moving her off of me.
"Get on your knees," I tell her - my voice deeper than I think I've ever heard it before.
She moans as she does as I've ordered to, wiggling her perfect ass as she grabs the pillow tightly between her hands.
I move my cock into position and roughly enter her in one swift motion, making her whimper with pain and pleasure.
"Is this what you wanted?" I ask her harshly, grabbing a hold of her hips so I can pound even harder. "Did you want me to fuck you like this?"
"God, yes!" she manages to breathe out between her moans.
"Be fucking quiet!" I tell her.
She nods as she closes her mouth, whimpers still managing to escape somehow. I move my one hand up her back, over her shoulder and into her hair. I pull at it, turning her head slightly so I can watch her face. My other hand is still on her hip and I let go of her to smack her ass.
"Mmmmmh," she can't stifle the sound coming from her closed mouth and I can feel her whole body stiffen in a very familiar manner.
I raise my hand from her soft cheek and slap it even harder. She can't keep her mouth closed any longer and she moans as her orgasm washes over her. She's squeezing and massaging my hard cock as she's coming and I grab a hold of her hip again so I can continue to fuck her hard, feeling my own impending orgasm build, my whole body tingling.
"Tell me you're mine," I demand.
"I'm yours," she moans instantly, still coming underneath me. "I belong to you."
"God, fuck!" I exclaim as I blow my load deep inside of her.
I'm seeing stars, for a minute I feel like I'm gonna pass out. I don't know if I do pass out for a little while but as I come to, I've collapsed on top of Dana. I'm softening inside of her, she's still twitching around me every now and again. Our bodies are sweaty and I feel completely spent.
"What the fuck was that?" I breathe out, sounding out of breath.
She chuckles beneath me and I realise I must be crushing her into the mattress. I instantly think about the life growing inside of her and put my hands down on the bed, raising myself above her and carefully pulling out of her before I collapse next to her, on my back.
She turns her head and I move the hair away from her face, leaning over to kiss her nose gingerly.
"You've never done anything like that before…" I know I must look completely amazed.
"I was just moving your hands away from my breasts - they're really tender from the pregnancy," she chuckles.
"Oh," I smile at her.
"But when I saw that flicker in your eyes…" she sighs and moves into my side - I immediately hold her in my arms. "God, I love it when you fuck me like that, Mulder."
"I know," I chuckle, feeling rather smug. "I know you haven't been… completely satisfied lately…"
"You always satisfy me," she assures me, kissing my chest. "And I love when you make love to me. But sometimes I just need you to control me completely…"
"God," I groan, this woman is so fucking hot. "I love and respect you so much… but nothing turns me on more dominating you when we have sex… is that sick?"
"It's not sick," she assures me. "I love when you get like that, I've missed it so much!"
"I know," I sigh, stroking her arm tenderly. "I've just… you're gonna be the mother to my child, Dana. I want to respect you, I want to show you how much I love you."
"I know how much you love me," she assures me. "We're getting married, Mulder. I'm having your baby. We're gonna be a family. But that doesn't mean you can't take me roughly once in a while…"
"Mmh," I can't help but chuckle at that and smile. "As much as I enjoyed taking you roughly, I don't know if the time and place was quite right today… I don't know if my mom would ever forgive me if she knew what I just did to you."
"You don't think they heard anything, do you?" she sounds nervous.
"I doubt it," I try to assure her. "They're downstairs and the walls are pretty thick."
"Good," she sighs in relief and we're quiet for a few minutes before she speaks again. "I'm cold."
"Of course you are," I tease her, chuckling as I get out of bed.
I pull on my boxers and walk over to her bag, digging out her pajamas which consist of some short, silky shorts and a skimpy t-shirt that shows off her midriff. I walk over to her and slide the shorts up her legs. She lifts her butt and lets me slide them up to hang loosely on her hips. I lean down and kiss the bruises already forming on her hip bones and she sighs content at that. I take her hand and help her sit up, putting the t-shirt over her head while she sticks her arms through it.
I kiss her gently and she palms my face in her hands, smiling into our kiss. She gets out of bed and we walk down to the bathroom down the hall. I wash my face and brush my teeth as she sits down to pee. I'm brushing my teeth with one hand and tracing the cuts on my chest with the other, looking at myself in the mirror. She's scratched me during sex before but never anything like this. She's actually drawn blood. All this to get me to take her roughly.
She washes her hands and picks up a rag, holding it under the faucet before turning towards me, cleaning the dried blood on my chest.
"I'm sorry," she winces as she helps me.
"It's fine," I chuckle, my toothbrush still in my mouth.
"It doesn't hurt?" she seems worried.
I remove the toothbrush from my mouth as I shake my head and smile.
"It's only fair," I shrug. "How many times have I marked you?"
"Well," she rolls her eyes at me but I notice her smirk.
She finishes cleaning me up and I finish brushing my teeth. I pee while she brushes her own teeth. After washing my hands, I put my arms around her middle and rest my chin on her shoulder as I look at her in the mirror. I kiss her neck and shoulder while she finishes up before finally turning around in my arms. She gives me a quick kiss before taking my hand and leading me back to the bedroom.
We cuddle up under the covers, quickly drifting off to sleep.

Dana POV
I wake up to soft kisses on my neck and something very hard against my ass. I moan deeply as he starts sucking on my neck, biting me and nipping my sensitive skin.
He moves me onto my back and his kisses travel down my body. The motion stirs something inside me… and not something good… I thought this phase was over but the wave of nausea is overwhelming.
"Stop," I manage to croak - a confused Mulder lifting his head from my exposed stomach - I stumble out of bed and run out of the room, down the hall and into the bathroom.
I hurl into the toilet, holding my hair back with one hand. It feels awful but after a few minutes it's over and I already feel better. Mulder hasn't followed me - I've directly ordered him not to, I don't want him to watch me be sick. He seemed almost hurt about it the first time I told him but he seems to have accepted it now.
I sit back against the cold wall and lean my head back, taking a few deep breaths. When I hear the door open, I just sigh. I should have known he'd be worried - it's been almost a week since I experienced morning sickness and we both thought it was the end of it.
"I'm fine, Mulder," I tell him exhaustedly. "It's just morning sickness, I can handle this on my own.."
"You're pregnant?" a voice that doesn't belong to Mulder asks me and I open my eyes in surprise, finding Mulder's sister Sam standing in the door to the bathroom.
We're quiet, our eyes locked. She's wearing a nightgown and slippers. The bathroom is right next to her room. I've talked to Sam before. She's a nice but very quiet girl. I don't really know her that well. I have no idea what to say so I just nod silently.
She sighs and closes the door behind her, sitting down on the edge of the bathtub. She breaks into a smile.
"I'm gonna be an aunt?" she sounds so happy and I can't help but smile too.
I just nod at her and her smile lights up even more.
"Can I help you up?" she asks me sweetly, reaching a hand out to me as she stands up.
I take her hand and stand up. I wash my face and use some mouthwash quickly before turning back to Sam. I'm about to open my mouth when the door is gently being opened and Mulder peeks his head inside. I can't help but laugh at his surprised expression when he sees the both of us in here.
"You're having a baby!" Sam says excitedly.
Mulder hurriedly walks in and closes the door after him, shushing her as he can't help but chuckle.
"Fox!" her eyes widen in surprise as she sees the red scratch marks on his chest.
I can feel the color in my cheeks but Mulder just looks down and shrugs, pulling me into his side. Her eyes try to find somewhere else to look but they fall to my hips. My very bruised hips. I can feel my neck and chest grow red with embarrassment as well. Sam looks questioningly at us both before awkwardly walking out of the room. We don't even get to tell her anything about the pregnancy, to keep it a secret… I wonder why she reacted like that…
"She's a bit shy," Mulder tries to explain. "She's never really had a boyfriend… I don't think she's ever even kissed anyone."
"Really?" I'm surprised.
"Well, during those formative teen years, Sam was sick," he shrugs. "She's had a hard time even making friends, I don't suppose it's easier finding a person you want to date."
"Do you think she'll tell your parents?" I wonder.
"I'm not sure," he scratches his head. "Let's go downstairs. It's time to open presents anyway!"
"Oh, right," I shake my head, laughing. "Merry Christmas, Mulder!"
"Merry Christmas," he smiles and takes my hands in his.
We share a kiss before walking back to the bedroom to put on some more clothes before heading downstairs. Mulder is wearing some grey joggers and a dark blue sweatshirt. I've put on some black leggings and a cozy, beige sweater.
"Merry Christmas, you two!" his mother is the first to greet us, enveloping us both in a hug. "Do you mind if we have breakfast before opening presents?"
"Really?" Mulder asks impatiently, making his mother laugh.
"Well, I just thought it wouldn't matter since there's no kids in the family yet," she shrugs.
"What do you mean?" Mulder's eyes widen and I can feel my cheeks turn red.
"The eggs and bacon are warm now, Fox," his mother seems oblivious to his meaning. "And I know you're just a big kid, but do you really mind?"
"No," he chuckles, rubbing his neck as he places his other hand on the small of my back, walking towards the dining table.
Mrs. Mulder has prepared an enormous breakfast. It all looks really good but my stomach just turns at the sight of all the food. I pick up a dry piece of toast and pour some orange juice into my glass. Mulder gives me a cute smile as I bite into the bread, giving my thigh a squeeze before he turns his attention back to his plate full of food.
"Is that all you're having, Dana?" Mrs. Mulder chuckles.
"I'm just a little queasy," I tell her.
"It's not morning sickness, is it?" she jokes.
"Mom!" Mulder exclaims immediately looking over to his sister.
"I didn't say anything!" she says defensively, holding up her hands.
"It's fine," I sigh and let out a small exaggerated laugh. "Yes, I'm pregnant."
"It's okay?" Mulder is grinning at me, he looks so happy and I nod at him - he looks over to both of his parents who are both smiling but looking stunned. "You're gonna be grandparents!"
"Oh, Fox… Dana… I can't believe it!" Mrs. Mulder exclaims, happy tears trailing down her cheeks. "This is the best Christmas present we could have asked for!"
She gets up to hug us both and so does Mr. Mulder who seems equally happy for us.
Our Christmas Day is amazing. I love spending time at the cabin. Mulder's parents and sister are so happy for us. Mrs. Mulder hasn't stopped smiling since we told her.
As we finally go to bed in the evening, Mulder just holds me in his arms and I place kisses on his shoulder and neck.
"It's not really fair to my parents that they don't know, now that we've told your parents," I sigh, feeling his hands stiffen as they were moving up my back.
"I thought we weren't telling them until after the wedding," he sounds slightly nervous.
"That was the plan," I chuckle. "But I don't want to keep it a secret from just my parents…"
"I don't want your dad to know…" Mulder trails off. "He's gonna kill me!"
"I won't let him," I chuckle, kissing his jaw. "You're gonna be the father of my child, Mulder. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."
I manage to make him laugh at that. We're quiet for a little while, I'm slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Do you think they'll be happy for us? Your parents…" he wonders, his hands caressing my back again.
"I think they'll be very excited," I tell him honestly, smiling into his chest. "They're gonna be grandparents for the first time."
"Next Christmas we could invite everyone over to our new house, all the grandparents," he chuckles.
"I still can't believe we're gonna have a child… that we're getting married, moving into a house together…"
"Is it everything your 14-year-old self could have ever hoped for?" he teases me.
"Shut up," I chuckle, poking his side.
"Did you never fantasize about marrying me when you had your schoolgirl crush?" he asks me teasingly as he grabs a hold of my hand.
"Of course I did," I admit shyly.
"I never even thought about getting married until I started seeing you," he admits in return. "I never thought I'd be a father either. It's still so amazing to me that we made a life together."
"I love that I'm carrying your child," I tell him.
"Mmmh, me too," he mumbles sleepily. "I can't think of a better way to claim you."
"So possessive," I chuckle, kissing his chest.

Mulder POV
I'm beyond nervous. We're sitting across from Dana's parents. Her father is looking stern because I'm holding her hand in mine… he's about to get a real shock if that's enough to rattle him.
"Well, you're certainly here early today," Dana's mother says with a smile, pouring us all some coffee.
"I know," Dana nods her head. "We just wanted to talk to the two of you before everyone else gets here."
We're all getting together at Dana's parents' house for New Years Eve tonight. Everyone is coming over but Dana and I have come over a bit early to finally tell them the big news. I know my hand must be sweaty but I keep holding onto Dana's, I need her.
"What did you want to talk about, sweetheart?" her mother asks her nicely.
I inch slightly closer to Dana on the couch, her parents sitting across from us on the other side of the coffee table in a couch of their own.
"We actually wanted to wait to tell you till after the wedding… but we told Mulder's parents over Christmas so we thought it was only fair if we told you now," Dana explains and breaks into a smile. "What we want to tell you is that… we're pregnant."
"Dana!" her mom breaks into a smile while her dad just looks into space, a far away look in his eyes. "Oh, that's such good news!"
She gets up to hug us both and asks Dana all kinds of questions. But I just look at her dad. He's holding his head in his hands, looking down to the floor.
Suddenly he stands up. He looks right at me and I stand up from the couch. Ready for whatever is coming.
"Fox, we need to talk," he just says.
"Okay," I nod.
"Dad… don't hurt him…" Dana trails off, sounding unsure.
"Don't worry," he just tells her and leaves the room.
I look over to Dana and her mom and shrug before following her father into another room. He surprises me by walking outside, onto the patio out back. I'm wearing a sweater but it's cold and I hug my chest as I stand next to him.
"I should have pulled you aside a long time ago," he chuckles.
I simply nod. I expected him to pull me aside when we first told him about our relationship. But he's pretty much been ignoring me for these past six months. Now, I don't know what I prefer… maybe being ignored wasn't that bad after all.
"It all happened so quickly, I didn't think you'd thought things through," he sighs deeply. "I honestly thought the wedding would never happen. Dana's never had a boyfriend before, I thought she just got a bit carried away… I thought she'd come to her senses before…"
"Gee, thanks," I snicker, cutting him off.
"Anyway," he sighs, walking down the patio to where the BBQ is. "Come down here."
I walk over to him and he points through the window, I look inside to the hallway and look back to Dana's dad, shrugging.
"I saw you go inside that bathroom with my daughter," he says, clenching his jaw.
"Oh," I just say, looking down to the ground.
"How do you expect me to respect and accept you?" he sighs. "You get my son into trouble, excluding him from ever joining the navy and following his dreams… then you sneak around with my daughter for years and when you tell me about your relationship… you've proposed to her without even talking to me… you pull her into the bathroom…"
"Sir," I have to interject. "You're twisting things slightly here. Look at it from my perspective. You've hated me ever since you met me. We've never had a conversation without you yelling at me until right now. I love Dana but I was scared shitless what would happen if we ever told you about our relationship. Not scared for me, I was scared for Dana. I never wanted to come between her and her family. When you saw me sleep next to her on that couch, you pretty much kept her locked up for a month!"
"Okay…" he nods, shrugging. "I can see where you're coming from. But you're still so respectless… the way you touch her in front of me…"
"Sir, I really think you're overreacting," I tell him honestly. "I might hold her hand or put my arm around her but other than that… I mean I really try to be respectful!"
"You weren't respectful in that bathroom!" he snaps.
"Yeah, okay," I sigh. "Look, I'm sorry about that."
Of course the incident in the bathroom was on Dana's initiative but I don't think her father needs to know that.
"You are?" he seems surprised.
"Of course!" I meet his eyes. "I want to get along with you! I want to make Dana happy, that's all I've ever wanted! I know I messed up that day but… I mean we're young and in love… we're gonna mess up sometimes. But I'll try and do better, I promise!"
"So, she's pregnant," he looks at me sternly.
I nod and can't quite keep the smile off my face.
"She only just started medical school…" he sighs. "She's been fighting so hard to get into Stanford."
"I'll help out," I tell him eagerly. "She's still gonna be a doctor! I know the timing isn't perfect but… I mean, we're really happy."
"I can tell," he chuckles. "You're glowing, kid."
"I am?" I laugh as well, relieved he seems to be in a better mood already. "I thought pregnant women were the ones glowing."
"I thought so too," he agrees with a smile. "But I can tell how happy you are. I can tell how much you love my daughter. And even though I fought very hard against this union, it's obvious that you're happy together."
"We are," I confirm. "I know you've had your doubts about me, Sir, but I promise you that I adore Dana and I treat her with respect. I'd do anything for her!"
"Yeah?" he seems impressed and I nod eagerly. "You know I'll kill you if you ever hurt her, right?"
"Of course!" I nod, never expecting anything else, and he breaks into a big smile.
We walk back inside and Dana looks very nervous but I give her a reassuring smile. Before long the rest of the guests arrive. It's just the closest family so Dana and I tell everyone about our news as we're all gathered for dinner. Everyone is happy for us. We mention that we just want to keep this within the close family until after the wedding and everyone is understanding. Mrs. Scully has prepared an amazing feast and we're all having a good time, most of us have had a few drinks at least as the music starts playing from the speakers and dessert has been cleared off the table.
Dana seems a bit tired so I take her hand and walk her over to the couch in the living room, away from all the noise. I sit down with her and she leans her head on my shoulder.
"You get along with my dad now," she chuckles.
"Kind of," I smile and stroke her hair back from her face. "I'm gonna miss all the rebellious sex now that he approves of me somewhat."
"Well," she smirks slightly. "I doubt he'll ever fully approve of you."
"Why?" I feel slightly offended.
"Because he sees the way I look at you," she says and leans in for a small kiss. "He sees the way I can't keep my hands off of you…"
Her hand moves over my chest and I lean down to kiss her again.
"And he knows…" I continue, breaking off our heated kiss. "He knows how well I can please you, doesn't he?"
She nods and leans more into my side as I play with her cross pendant that hangs on her chest. She's showing off a bit of cleavage in the beautiful, long dress she's wearing tonight.
"Mulder, I want you," she whispers.
"Dana," I chuckle. "I just told your dad how much I respect you. He saw us walk into the bathroom together last summer, he thinks I initiated that!"
"Well," she shrugs. "I don't care. I just want you inside of me."
"Jesus!" I hiss. "Dana, I thought you were tired."
"I was," she sighs, leaning forward to press a kiss to my neck. "But my hormones are driving me insane… one minute I'm exhausted, next minute I'm…"
"Horny?" I chuckle, squirming in my seat slightly as her breath on my neck is turning me on way too much.
"Mmmh," she moans, capturing my mouth with hers again.
We kiss and she's running a hand through my hair. I'm just about to deepen our kiss and pull her into my lap when someone walks into the living room.
"Fox!" Dana's dad exclaims and I pull back from his daughter, feeling like a deer caught in the headlights.
Dana chuckles at my reaction but Dana's dad keeps looking at me. He doesn't seem angry but I can't read him at all right now.
"I just talked to Bill," he says, smiling.
"Oh?" I wonder where this is going.
"You… you covered for him?" he's smiling at me.
"Yeah," I shrug and smile. "Of course. He's my best friend."
"I… we always thought…" he's shaking his head. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"That was Bill's choice if he wanted to tell you," I say. "I made him a promise… I only ever told Dana and my parents the truth."
"You're a good friend," he acknowledges.
"I told you he was a good guy, dad!" Dana interjects.
"I know that now… I was wrong about you, Fox," he holds out his hand for me.
I smile and shake his hand.
"Now, join the party, you two," he clears his throat. "We just had a profound moment so I'm gonna pretend like I didn't just see you make out with my daughter."
"Thank you, Sir," I chuckle and get up from the couch while Dana rolls her eyes at us.
