Summary: WARNING I HAVE SKIPPED THROUGH TO DECEMBER! Why? Everything in the middle was irrelevant, and it was abit too hard for me to write. I did try though. So this chapter is set the day before the return of the 'aliens', one major event that HAS to take place before the end of the world; I wasn't letting that story go. I'm 17 so yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic.
A/note: like I said, I tried. It wasn't right. So I'm skipping to the December. I'll add in some details to make it easier. Enough of my rambling; oh yeah, school goes back on in three days so my updating might be a bit longer. I sorry… enjoy.

Mulder/ scully residence
A thin layer of snow covered the normal thick green grass that surrounded Mulder and scully's small isolated home. It was a calm day and the temperature was quite merciful. The skies were clear except for a few stray clouds that rode the horizon, creating a rather picturesque scene.
After months of struggle and dangerous adventure; everyone still found the time to celebrate. About twenty or so chairs sat under the large tree that stood in front of the house; filled with family and close friends. Doggett and Reyes; who got married in august as planned; and Arlene sat at the front of the group. Bill and Tara arrived with there three children; and Charlie and his wife, Anna, came with their two sons. The rest of the chairs were filled with old friends, some from the FBI or the hospital.
Scully's dress was simple; long sleeved and silky. It flowed flawlessly to cover her feet, blending with the pristine snow beneath her feet. Her hair was held up in a loose bun, with stray tendrils falling over her ears. She wore no veil, but she had a pearly white lace head piece that sat in her red hair perfectly.
Mulder's tuxedo contrasted his fiancé's gown well. It was a standard black one, complete with a bowtie and a pair of black gloves. His hair was still quite short, and rather tame; brushed well and made his look very handsome. A long scar ran across his brow and down the side of his face, about two inches long and already fading.
They didn't hear most of the words of the priest before them. They stood shoulder to shoulder, their hands laced together between them. They stood gazing at each other, remembering everything that had happened over the years; and how lucky they were to be standing there together.
Emily stood slightly behind scully, in a white bridesmaid dress of her own. Her hair was still a chocolate brown, but slightly longer. Skinner stood behind Mulder, his hand resting on Williams shoulder; both in tuxedos that matched Mulder's.
Mulder and scully were brought back to reality when they were asked to speak, the priest looked at them and smiled;
"Do you, Fox William Mulder; take this woman, Dana Katherine Scully, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and in woe, for richer or poorer, keep your solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?"
Mulder smirked at every bit of irony the priest had just asked him; but still;
"I do," he leaned in closer to scully, "definitely"
Scully smiled at his add on; dear Mulder, always a rebel. The priest turned now to scully;
"Do you, Dana Katherine Scully; take this man, Fox William Mulder, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to love, honour and obey, in good times and in woe, for richer or poorer, keep your solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?"
Scully smiled widely; "I do." Mulder grinned as if she had said she was pregnant or had met Elvis again.
They didn't hear the next bit about speaking now or forever hold you piece bit. William stepped forwards with a flat pillow that had two rings resting on it. He too was grinning like a child at Christmas. Mulder and scully turned to face one another; Mulder took one of the rings and slid it onto scully finger. Scully took the other and waited for Mulder to remove his glove; before placing the gold band on his finger. He held her hands tightly, taking in the beautiful bride before him; he felt the cool metal on his finger and felt his heart grow warm from the sensation.
"By the authority invested in me by the state of Virginia, I now pronounce you man and wife and what god hath joined together, let no man or woman put asunder."
"Or extra terrestrial…" scully whispered. Mulder grinned even widener and tilted his head in agreement.
Mulder spent a long time thinking of how he was going to kiss his wife for the first time, but now the long awaited moment was upon him.
He stepped forward and cupped scully's flushed cheeks in his hands; he leaned down and let his lips capture hers. She brought her hands up to back of his head. Mulder rubbed his thumb along her cheek as her hands slid forward onto his. He held her there for a moment, before he removed his hands from her face and wrapped both his arms tightly around her waist; she in turn wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
Mulder recognized his actions; this was the same way he kissed her when she found him in that prison; beaten and bruised, he still wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms. This kiss felt the same, but somehow new. Like he had rediscovered her again, like he was kissing her for the very first time and wasn't willing to let her go. She was his wife, his 'Mrs. Spooky', his one in the entire universe.
---------------------
The audience clapped and smiled. Their applause was short lived; the clear skies above them quickly became dark with thunderous clouds. Reluctantly, Mulder and his wife broke apart; they held onto each other and looked up. They looked back at each other, and sighed;
"I think that's our queue?" Mulder said sadly.
"Time to go save the world Mulder…" she said tilting her head to one side, licking her lips.
"And you'll be right by my side, Mrs. Mulder?" scully grinned at the use of her new last name. She nodded;
"All the way; till the end of the world." The broke apart and turned to their anxious audience. Mulder held onto scully's hand tightly, not wanting to ever let her go.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you will excuse us… we have the world to save." They walked through the aisle; followed closely by Emily, William, Doggett and Reyes. Skinner was soon to follow; but he had to say goodbye to his wife first. They left the slightly bemused gathering and ran together down to the two SUV's parked near the dirt track.
Mulder helped scully into the passenger's side of his black car, before jumping in the driver's side. Emily quickly jumped in the back seat next to the four small bags that were already there. William went with skinner, Doggett and Reyes in the other car. Over the last few months; it was safer travelling with at least one of the kids per group. The car's flicked up gravel as they sped down the track.
------------------------------
They hadn't learnt much more than they already knew when they began their journey. But they had learned more about the colony. The ship Mulder saw in Antarctica was, like the hive ship. Where the virus and entities were grown, they learned more details about the ship; it seemed to be biomechanical, which explains why it left earth after Mulder injected scully with the vaccine, it reacted to the vaccine like it was a virus itself.
The ship had an organic core, like a living power source. The plan was to infect the core with the vaccine, and hopefully infect all the entities onboard. Hopefully; they would get the idea and not return.
The virus grows faster in warm climates, so in was believed by the syndicate; that they would return to the desert.
It wasn't much of a plan, but a plan none the less
-----------------------------
I know… ridiculously short chapter.
Will update soon, I have big plans for how the story ends and there is a mother of a twist in the works. The best part is that it came straight from an episode; so do stay tuned. It's gonna get intense, but then it… actually, you guys can just read it. I'm anxious to finish this story, I get annoyed with stories that go on, and on, and on without direction. Review the wedding, I'm panicking that it was too short or too weird… ease my pain??
