A/N: Hey guys, sorry it took so long for me to update this. I can't sleep so I figured that I'd put my insomnia to good use.
Dedicated to anyone who is still reading this.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, honest.
Mulder's leg was throbbing, Scully was sure she was going to trip and break her heel in front of their classmates, but the night was perfect. Before they had left Jasper Hollow for the likes of the big city they had stopped for dinner at their favorite stomping ground, The Nook. Sitting on a park bench in their formal clothing they had dined on chili dogs, french fries and Pepsi. Most couples went to dinners at Eddie Merlot or Texas Roadhouse, but they were happy with diner food and people watching at the corner of Main Street and Washington Ave.
Every Prom has a theme and Jasper Hollow High's was Summer Nights. It was an excuse from Student Council and Prom Commitee to get dressed up in their most revealing outfits and have sex with clothes on, but it was fun none-the-less. There were cardboard cut-outs of palm trees and a plethora of glitter; the decorations had transformed the elegant ballroom into a high school dance.
"We shelled how much out of our class fund to trash this place?" Scully asked. They were sitting at one of the tables in the corner waiting for a good dancing song to come on.
"I don't even want to know. We could've done the same thing in the school gym." Mulder agreed.
"Precisely." Scully sighed, "It's been a good evening though."
"Yeah." Mulder nodded, "It has."
"How many more dances are we staying for?" Scully tapped her heel to the Black Eyed Peas song that was thumping out of the speakers.
"We're atleast staying til they announce who got King and Queen." Mulder grinned at her.
"If it's us, I'm demanding a recount." Scully chuckled.
"I'll be right there with you." Mulder took her hand and played with her fingers, "Have I told you, you look beautiful tonight?"
"Many times." Scully blushed.
"And you blush every time." Mulder chuckled.
"I love you." Scully bit her lip and looked up at him through her lashes.
"I love you too." Mulder leaned over and pecked her on her lips.
The DJ changed songs again and this time 'She Is Love' by Parachute came on and Mulder took Scully's hand, leading her out on the floor. Her hands snaked around his neck and his found the place that was made specifically for him on her lower back. Even with Mulder's limp and Scully's stumbling, they were the best couple on the dance floor. Her forehead rested on his shoulder and they made small circles.
"How's your leg?"
"I'm fine, Sweetheart." Mulder reassured her and pressed a kiss to her jaw.
"Mul-"
"I'll tell you if it hurts to much, until then shut up and let me dance with the love of my life." Mulder teased her.
"Fine." Scully chewed the inside of her lip, "Thank you for doing this for me."
"Thank you for never leaving me." Their foreheads touched.
"I'm never leaving you." Scully promised, "Not for anything."
"Back at you." Mulder kissed her lightly.
They danced for a few more songs; Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and a old Frank Sinatra tune. They watched Diana and her date get crowned Prom King and Queen before they made their exit. The clouds broke open as they raced through the parking lot of the hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. Once in the Mustang and heading back to Jasper Hollow, Mulder cranked the heat and they drove in silence.
It was a maze of backroads, lit only by headlights and the moon. Just outside of the Jasper Hollow city limits there was a covered bridge. Mulder parked off to the side, beside the muddy river and climbed out.
"Mulder, what are we doing?" Scully asked.
"Dancing." Mulder explained and took her hand. They stood in the middle of the bridge. Rain drizzled through the vines that covered the bridge and Scully's hair was ruined, her blue dress stuck to her like a second skin. Mulder's hair was in disarray and his clothing clung to him in the cold May rain.
"We danced the entire night away." Scully reminded him.
"Yes." Mulder nodded, "But not in the rain and you love the rain. Everytime we watch The Notebook, you go crazy over the scene on the dock."
"I do." Scully agreed, "Did you have this planned?"
"Well, if you mean planned as I came in with it in the twenty minutes it took us to get here, then sure." Mulder grinned.
"You're insane." Scully removed her shoes, holding them in one hand.
"Dance with me." He urged and pulled her close.
Soaked in the chilly spring rain, standing on a covered bridge over a muddy water, outside Jasper Hollow, Ohio they danced. Their clothes clung to them and hair matted to their face, but they danced to the rhythm of the night. The whistle of the wind, the drizzling of the rain and the whistle of the train created it's own music and to it, they danced. Spinning in circles and laughing like they were little children.
"This night has been perfect." Scully informed him as the rain ended and they walked back to the car.
"It has." Mulder smiled, "I love you."
"I love you too." Scully grinned, "Always and forever."
"And then some."

"Did you have a good time?" Monica Reyes asked her best friend. Scully walked into Monica's room in plaid pajama pants and one of Mulder's shirts. Her bright red hair was down and curling wildly around her face.
"The best." Scully flopped down on the mattress beside her.
"Told you, you would." Monica grinned, "So tell me and the kiddo all about it."
So, Scully recounted her entire evening to Monica and her pregnancy bump.

The next morning when Scully woke up, it was to the smell of coffee. She blinked her eyes slowly and glanced around, their was no one there. On her bed side table there was a steaming styrofoam cup of coffee and a note taped to it.
"Scully,
I love you.
I have a surprise for you, come outside.
-Mulder."
A/N: I know, how mean of me to leave it there. I also know it's really short, but I have been updating a lot of stuff and my brain has turned to goo. In any event, more soon, I hope. Tell my teachers to stop giving me a crapload of homework so I can write fanfic.
