Chapter 3

Scully woke up the next day. She was thrilled that all the bookings she made were done. There was so many things she had to book for Mulder's birthday. She had to book things like a room for the both of them to spend their weekends in but the important thing that she had booked was the pool. She asked the hotel manager whether it can be used for a birthday party and the hotel manager said yes.

She got out of bed and started getting ready to go to work. When she reached the basement office, she first asked a question to Agent Reyes and Agent Doggett. "So how's it going? Have you guys started inviting people yet?" Both of the agents looked at Scully with a smile. "Of course we did. We invited The Lone Gunmen, some of Mulder's friends and we also invited his mom and some of his cousins," said Agent Doggett. "That's great. Thank you so much for helping me," Scully said with joy.

"So have you thought about what to buy him for a birthday gift?" asked Agent Reyes. Scully was so shocked that she forgot about what to get for him. "Oh crap. No! I haven't." She had seriously forgotten about that. She sat down to let herself relax. She looked at the desk and then she looked at her locket that Mulder had given to her for Christmas about two years ago. With just one look at her locket, she knew exactly what to get for Mulder.

After work, she quickly went to the mall and went inside to one of shops. She told the shop manager that his gift should be done by next Friday. The shop manager said it will be done when it's ready to be picked up. Scully also asked the shop manager if he could wrap the gift and the shop manager said ok.

After that Scully hurried home. When she reached home, she called Mulder. "Hello?" said Mulder. "Hey Mulder!" said Scully with her smile on her face. "Hey Scully! What's up?" Mulder was so happy to hear her voice. "Wanna hangout?" Without thinking Mulder replied with, "Yes! I would love that." Scully was so glad he wanted to hangout. "Great! Can you get some dinner and come over to my place right now?" Mulder was getting excited. "Yes! Definitely! I'll see you soon." Scully replied, "Great! Can't wait!" Mulder smiled again, "I love you! Bye!" Scully laughed, "I love you too! See you soon! Bye!"

As the phone clicked off, Scully headed to her bathroom so that she can be clean and fresh when Mulder arrives. When she came out of the shower, she quickly got dressed in her shirt and track pants. When she finally got dressed, she heard a knock on the door. She looked through the peephole and she saw Mulder dressed in a white shirt, jeans and leather jacket. She opened the door to him. Mulder gave a Scully a hug when he saw her and kissed her on her forehead. "Hey beautiful!" said Mulder while he hugged her. "Hey handsome!" said Scully while she grabbed Mulder's hand and walked with him to her living room.

"I'm really sorry that we haven't seen each other for two days. I have been really busy," Scully apologized as they sat down on the couch. "Hey. It's ok. I know it's hard working on the X Files without me," said Mulder as he kissed Scully on her cheek. Scully giggled. "So what's for dinner?" asked Scully. "Sushi!" said Mulder with a grin of his face. Scully was surprised. "Great! I haven't had that for like a month," said Scully as she smiled.

Scully laid the food on the table while Mulder was selecting a movie for them to watch. When Mulder sat back down on the couch, he immediately put his arm around Scully and they started eating their dinner. While they were eating their dinner and watching the movie, they were connecting with each other by laughing and smiling at each other and Mulder kissed Scully on her forehead for a couple of times. When the movie was finally over, Mulder clicked off the remote and they turned to look at each other and smiled.

"Hey Mulder, it's getting late. Do you want to stay with me tonight or would you like to return to your apartment?" Scully asked. Without thinking Mulder said, "I want to stay with you tonight." Scully felt so happy. "Well lets clean up and get ready for bed shall we?" said Scully as she stood up to clean the table. When everything was cleared away, Mulder took hold of Scully's hand and led her to her bedroom. Scully climbed onto the bed first. Mulder took off his leather jacket and slipped in right beside her. Mulder kissed her forehead as he held her tightly as he could.

"Hey Mulder. Your birthday is next weekend. What do you wanna do?" Scully asked. Mulder said, "Well, I just want to be with you." Scully smiled. "Heres an idea. What about we go to The Tower Hotel and spend the weekend there?" asked Scully. Mulder looked at Scully and smiled. "That's a great idea. We haven't been to our special place for awhile. That would be a great place to spend the weekend and to spend my birthday!" Mulder was excited.

Scully snuggled in closer. Mulder whispered something to Scully, "I love you so much Scully". Scully looked at Mulder and he kissed her. When they came apart, Scully whispered something back, "I love you too Mulder." Mulder snuggled in even closer. "Goodnight Scully," said Mulder, almost falling asleep. "Goodnight Mulder," said Scully, also falling asleep.

They finally closed their eyes and went to sleep with a smile on their face.
