~Too much love, no one else to give it to~

Not knowing what to do or say, Mulder silently asked whatever God there may be to tell him what to do, to give him a sign of some sort. After a few moments of deliberation, he absentmindedly walked to Scully's bedroom; he didn't know what to say or do but he found himself just wanting to hold her.

As Mulder walked into the room, he could see a white photo frame with a copy of two of them at the baseball field; he remembered that night as one of his favorite memories. Scully had never hit a baseball and Mulder just wanted to make her smile. Looking over to the bed, he saw that Scully was laying on the right side.

"Mulder, I don't want to talk."

"That's fine, Scully, we don't have to…I just want to be here for you." As Mulder finished talking, he started to crawl on the bed over to Scully and carefully laid behind her. Scully turned over to face him as he spoke, "Dana its OK, I want to be here for you. I know I said that I didn't want this to come between us, and it's not, but you are my best friend and you are in pain…it's my job to be here."

Scully moved into Mulder's chest as she started to cry, realizing he was right. Mulder just being there with her was the best thing for her right now.

Mulder and Scully stayed in the same position for over an hour, soft kisses placed by Mulder to the top of Scully's head and forehead.

"Mulder?" Scully looked up at his face. "I am so sorry."

"Scully for what?" Mulder placed a kiss to her forehead.

"For bringing you into this, I should have never asked you to do that for me." Scully began to try and remove herself from his embrace; Mulder held her tighter.

"Scully, I would have done this for you any day and anytime. You have been through so much with me, and I would gladly give you anything you want. I wish I could make everything right for you, you have wanted this for so long, I would give my last breath for you to have a child." Mulder kissed her again.

"Why, why for me Mulder?"

"Because Scully, you are the only person I have left in this world. You are my family." Mulder relieved some of his hold on Scully. She put her right ear to Mulder's chest to listen to his heartbeat, steady and soothing. Mulder put his chin to her forehead, he loved the sweet vanilla smell of her hair. The pair drifted off to sleep, both feeling safe, warm, and loved in each others company.

There were fair to many reasons why they couldn't be together romantically, the biggest one was the F.B.I mandate forbidding the dating of another agent assigned to the same department. They were both afraid of being separated, and the F.B.I using that to permanently close the X-files.

The next morning

Scully woke before Mulder; she couldn't help but smile at him. Here he was, so perfect for her, and they were so perfect together. Scully remembered every time they had "slept" together; she loved how close it made her feel to him, they had been together three times and that was enough for Scully to want more and more. She wanted him right now, she wanted to feel his kisses all over her body, she wanted to feel him inside her again.

Scully decided to give into her feelings, "Mulder?" she pulled herself upright so their faces were right in front of each other.

"Well hello, sleeping beauty." Mulder smiled at his best friend and soul mate.

"Mulder, I want to do something, I need to do this." Scully began to kiss Mulder with every ounce of desire she felt. Her kisses were returned by a very eager Mulder, who missed her passionate touch.

"Scully, are you sure you want to do this."

She pushed Mulder onto his back, as she settled herself down on his hardness, she met his gaze.

"Yes….I want to do this, I need to do this. Just this once, I don't want anything in the way. Its just you and me, no F.B.I, no X-files, just you and me."

"Scully, I'm not complaining. Are you sure you want to connect on that level? We can't do this if it turns out to be something more."

"Mulder, I need to feel something other than pain right now."

They continued to kiss until Mulder took off Scully's shirt and bra, sliding his hands up and down her back until he could no longer contain himself. He grabbed her hips, flipping them over so Scully was now on her back. They gave into their feelings for each other, their physical intimacy causing the outside world and all it's cares to fade into nothing.

5:45 AM, the next morning

Mulder awoke to something shaking, and it took him several seconds for him to re-center himself and realize where he was. As soon as he realized Scully was at arm's length and shaking, in the bed with him, Mulder pulled her back to his chest and held her close.

"Emily?" Scully let out a soft cry that broke Mulder's heart.

Emily had been the daughter of Scully, the phantom daughter she had not given birth to or even knew about, until the little girl was three years old and dying. Mulder remembered it like yesterday; he'd loved how happy Scully was at first, before Emily got sick.

He also remembered watching as Scully's heart broke slowly, the bond she'd formed with the girl now causing her as much pain as it had once given her joy. He knew that she would lose something from Emily's death; some of the light he had always seen in her eyes dimmed, and then they became sad and lost.

As the sun finished rising, Scully unconsciously rolled onto her right side, where she met Mulder's bare skin; the sun had made her hair seem brighter and lit her face, illuminating it with a glow that resembled a halo. Mulder smiled and kissed her forehead; he was so grateful that it was Saturday. Mulder decided not to do his usual routine of going into the office to work overtime, making Scully miss another day of the sun she craved.

Instead, he decided to lay in Scully's bed and hold her. Mulder fell back asleep with Scully in his arms, a smile on his face as he felt for the first time, hope and contentment.
