I love you?
Ch 6
Monica gets up off the sofa,
"Dana?" she calls
"yes in the spare room"
Monica walks across and into the room to see Dana bent over looking in a box, Monica grabs her,
"hey baby, what you doing?"
Dana stays bent over
"I'm thinking"
"thinking what? What's in the boxes?"
"Crap of Mulder's I want it out...and I want..." she pauses
"what do you want hun?"
Dana stands and takes Monica's hands,
"wants a bad word, I'd like... I'd like... What I'm asking is...will you move in?"
Monica's mouth falls open
"really?"
"If you want to, ill get rid of this crap and then move you in. Yes I know your working hours and you may be away for days but I don't want the in-betweens anymore"
Monica stays quiet listening
"or not... I'm obviously moving to fast"
And she tries to pull away but Monica grips her hands
"no Dana, your not, I'm just a little surprised, I thought you liked your independence but clearly you don't anymore. I'd love to move in with you"
Both smile then kiss,
"right as much as I want to stay and kiss you, john called I need to go see him, get this done, then I'm thinking ill come pick you up then dinner out, back here then start moving this stuff out and mine in as of tomorrow"
Dana smiles
"perfect, but we need to tell mom. Ill call her while your gone I can go see her. And on the way dump all this stuff at the dump, he's not coming back so most of it can go. I just want a couple of bits"
Monica nods so does Dana
"right I'm off" announces Monica
They kiss and she goes out to get her coat, leaving Dana with the boxes
"bye dana-gater, love you"
"yeah bye"
Doggett was sat at home listening to the radio when there was a knock at the door
"Mon?"
"yeah" came her voice through the door
"it open"
A few seconds passed then it was open and in steps Monica
"hi" he says happily
"yeah hi"
"come sit"
She slowly walks over and sits on the one seater
"you wanted to see me?" she states
"yes...yes I did..."
"Ok, I'm here"
"I see. Well... First ill say I'm sorry, sorry I upset you at yours over your relationship with Scullly, I'm sorry I acted a twat and ended up in hospital, and I'm sorry for everything I've caused you"
She nods not sure what to say
"you feel guilty, don't you?"
She nods
"don't be, its my own fault. I was stupid and..."
"Could of died, you could be in a morgue right now and for what? To punish me? For what?" she interrupted
"I didn't mean to hurt or punish you, I was punishing myself for being such an arsehole, I don't deserve to have you in my life in anyway, I'm lucky I do. But I know I need to change"
Monica shrugs...
"change how john?"
"To be more open and honest with people, I hide myself and my feelings from everyone then expect them to know, but they can't. Can I be honest with you now?"
She nods, shocked by his confession
"I love you; I know you love Dana but my love for you is different, I can't live without you. You are my best friend and no one knows me like you do. I won't let anyone come between you and Dana, anyone tries and they'll have to deal with me. I'm glad your with Dana, she's a great woman, very head strong and I think you'll be great together"
Monica feels tears form, he's never been like this
"I will apologise to Dana once she can face me again, I don't expect it will be soon as I know she feels guilty too about my accident and probably doesn't like me, but I will apologise. Now I know it will take time but I still want to be friends and work together. Can we try?"
Monica tears start to fall
"john that means so much to me. I hope you can stay like this and we can be open and honest. I'm glad your happy about me and Dana after all this, were coming out properly now, dana's going to be telling Mrs Scullly soon"
Doggett smiles
"thanks Monica, can you do me a small favour?"
"yeah what?"
"can you pop to the shop and get me some milk?, mines gone sour"
She laughs
"ok, ill do that now then I'm off out for a meal"
"thanks Mon"
Monica was back from the shop,
"I got milk and bread for you just in case"
"thanks Mon"
She puts the milk in the fridge. She sits on the chair again, gets out her cell. It rings and rings, but nothing, she tried her cell, no service.
"Hmm pop back to the apartment she was busy sorting boxes. Ill see you later. If you need anything call me"
"thanks Mon"
"bye"
"bye"
She walks out and starts driving 'home' sounds funny... But soon it will be her and Dana's home.
