The Talk
It had been almost a month since Scully had spoken to either Richard or Mulder. She had abstained to the tranquility of being with herself for that time. As she had said, she needed time and she took it. It was the first time she felt in control of her life for months.
She had to admit, the last weeks had been a bit nerve wrecking as to what she was going to do. It was taking a toll on her body , leaving her with slight headaches and dizziness, nothing she couldn't handle though. She had pondered for quite some time now, she was pretty positive on what she wanted to do with her life on the future…whether it be with Mulder, Richard…or just simply by herself.
Dana Scully now walked the streets of Washington DC. She was to talk to Mulder first, knowing he'd be the most eager one of them both. She had decided on meeting each other by one of the benches at the Washington Monument, she wanted to be outside, anyways. She felt anxious and kept formulating the words she was to say to him, even though she had already replayed them various times in her head…
… … … … … … … … … … … … …. … … … …
Mulder got there first. "Still not here…" he thought to himself. He was nervous. He hadn't spoken to her in such a while now, he was eager to see her face again, not to mention he wanted to know what her decision was… on second thought, he didn't know if he wanted to know.
Last time he had seen her, she walked passed him at one of the halls of the Bureau. She looked beautiful. She had a glow of confidence to herself that just made her seem amazing. He loved seeing her like that, the old-Scully, unbroken-Scully, self-confident-Scully, who walked down the halls claming them as hers…
And that's how he saw her walking towards him again at his place at the bench. He couldn't help it but broadly smile. She smiled as she walked up to him too.
Scully: Hey…
Mulder: Hey…
He couldn't stop smiling, he felt like a love-struck teenager all over again…He felt silly…
Scully: You got here first…
Mulder: Yeah…You wanna walk around or just…you know, here…
His nerves were getting the best of him. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence. You couldn't blame him…he was about to know if she wanted him in his life or not for good.
Scully: Here's fine.
She stood there, staring up at his hazel eyes shifting her gaze from time to time to anything else, she felt a bit of guiltiness hit her. She looked as though she were to begin a few times, but her attempts all ended up as being empty sighs.
Scully: No matter how many times I ran this through my head…
Mulder: It's alright…
He smiled, shaking on the inside…
Mulder: Whatever it is…just tell me. I'll take it.
He playfully winked at her, just to make her feel more comfortable and to give the moment a less heavy air…even though he was a mess of nerves all over.
Mulder:…I just-whatever it is you pick, I just want you to be happy…
He truly did. He had already tolled her this, but he wanted her to know. He felt his heart racing. He truly didn't want this to be the last time he stared at her beautiful face. He loved her…he had always loved her…ever since she had entered their office. He just didn't realize he did till sometime later; when she had been taken away from him a couple of times… enough to make him realize that every moment he knew she was in danger, his nature was to get her back…back to him.
Scully took a breath and began…
Scully: Mulder…I have thought about this…about this whole situation and what not. I have thought about you, and us, and…quite frankly, it's been hard.
His eyes softened, even though he panicked from with in. She continued…
Scully: I mean…so much has happened. I had doubted you, Mulder. I thought it was you who broke our trust, when in fact it was me who did it. I let myself be guided by other people and by my own fears, instead of trusting you. I have to apologize for that. I was hurt for such a long time…it got to a point where I didn't recognize myself anymore.
She stopped hesitating on what to say next, already seeing she was breaking his heart.
Mulder: I understand Scully…I hurt you and…
She cut his words…
Scully: No, you didn't…we hurt each other.
She looked up at him, his eyes staring aimlessly at the ground.
Scully: I want to believe, Mulder…I want to believe that everything will be fine and that it can be like before…like before this whole mess happened.
She slid her hand across his jaw bone caressing his face.
Scully: I've missed you Mulder…I believe I don't want to miss you anymore…
Mulder looked into her eyes. She smiled into his. A wave of relief spread across his body as his hands cupped her face. He sighed as he smiled, pressing his forehead against hers.
Scully: Let's just…try not to commit the same mistake again. Okay?
Mulder: Ye-yeah…
He laughed without being able to contain it.
Mulder: God Dana…you had me going there.
Scully: I'm sorry…I told you I had the words but…I guess I came out a bit harsh at the beginning, huh?
She smiled big at him, her face still pressed against his.
Mulder: Yeah…
He stared into her blue eyes for a while.
Mulder: I…I love you Dana. I know I don't say it often, and I know I should let you know continually, but I'm lousy at that and you know it.
She laughed at his remark. He always found humor in the most weirdest of moments. He hesitated a bit before speaking.
Mulder: You don't know how hard it would be for me not to see you again…to tell you the truth this whole month has been torture.
She smiled at him, now pulling away from his face.
Scully: Oh, even if I didn't decide on us being together, I'd still have to see you Mulder…
Mulder: Well, yeah, on our work places and all but-
Scully: More like on weekends and such…
Mulder's face turned into a quizzical expression. His eyes brows furrowed in the center of his forehead as Dana's eyes lighted up at him.
Mulder: What do you mean?
She smiled as her cheeks suddenly began to flush in a tone of red. She looked up at him, his face still confused.
Scully: I'm pregnant, Mulder…
His eyes widened at her words and his breath shortened.
Mulder: W-w-what?
Scully: I'm pregnant…
Her smile grew at his reaction, he looked shocked and lost within his head.
Mulder: Like…right now?
Scully: Yes, Mulder…
Mulder: Is it mine?
Her mouth fell open, a bit appalled at his last question.
Scully: Of course it is! I haven't been to bed with anyone else in the past month, except you…
She felt a bit embarrassed realizing what she had just said. He though it over for a few seconds before realizing…
Mulder: I-I-This has nothing to do with the fact of your decision, right. I mean, I don't want you to-
Scully: No Mulder, I made the decision by myself, in my own terms…this was more of a sign that I was doing the right thing.
She smiled. He pulled her towards her as he sighed laughter, holding her close to him.
Mulder: Oh, Scully…
He pulled her in as he kissed her deeply. God, had he missed her lips against his, her hands wrapped around him, the scent of her skin…He could feel her smile against his mouth. He pulled a away, starring at her beautiful blue eyes, millions of thoughts running through his head. He loved her so much, and now here they were, back were they had been, to a place he thought he'd never see again. He was overwhelmed and didn't know what to say…
After a few seconds she broke his thoughts.
Scully: Ummm, I haven't told my mother yet.
Mulder: Really?
Scully: No, only you and I know…She'll obviously be thrilled, although a little confused with the whole situation and all…
She smiled sheepishly.
Mulder: Tell me about it…what about Richard?
Scully: I haven't spoken to him yet. I will…
She took a small breath of air before she began once again.
Scully: Mulder…
Mulder: Yes.
Scully: I want us to start over. I want a fresh start for us. We'll see where it takes us, and then we'll go from there.
Mulder: Yeah, of course.
She smiled seeing his lighted up face beaming at her…she was so thankful for this moment.
Scully: Mulder…we're gonna be parents…you're gonna be a daddy.
He flashed off the biggest smile he ever had yet, which caused her to laugh, that same mesmerizing laugh he loved to hear so much from her mouth, as he leaned in on her, his arms wrapping around her, and placed another full passionate kiss on the woman he had always loved…
