DISCOVERY OF LOVE
Written by: Erin M. Blair
--------------------------------------------
Dana Scully's apartment
Annapolis, MD
Tuesday, 6 p.m.
Dana Scully was writing in her journal about the
events that happened at the X-Files office. Fox Mulder
actually revealed that he was in love with her! "After
five years of working together, Mulder actually told me
he's in love with me," Scully wrote. "I couldn't believe it, but
he kissed me with all of the passion that we'd been hiding
from one another."
Scully heard the door bell rang, and she closed her journal.
She placed the journal in a desk drawer and then she walked
towards the door to answer it. It was Mulder. She had been
expecting him to come by for their first official date. "Hi. I
just can't get over what you told me at the office."
"Neither can I," Mulder murmured. He was wearing a gray T-shirt and
tight blue jeans. There was a new sparkle in his
hazel eyes, and he was happy that Scully returned his feelings. "I
can't believe that it took so long to reveal our feelings. I am
glad that I did." He saw that Scully was wearing a blue skirt and
a white blouse like she had at the office. *Scully looks
beautiful as always,* Mulder thought.
"Me too," Scully said, as she motioned Mulder into her
apartment. "Come in." She noticed that he brought
wine. She was reminded of the Eddie Van Blundht's seduction
attempt when he was Faux Mulder. However, this time it was
different because they had finally revealed their feelings towards
each other. "So, what's the occasion?"
"I think that we should celebrate our happiness. We have two things
to celebrate," Mulder said, as he sat down on her coach. He began
to pour the wine for the two of them.
"Oh?" Scully asked, arching her eyebrows. She took a sip of the
wine. "Like what?"
"For us discovering our love, and the news that you can have
children," Mulder answered. He hugged her, and he stroked her
auburn hair. "I love you, Scully." He looked into her blue
eyes, and he kissed her.
"I love you, Mulder," Scully said, as she warmly smiled at
him. She kissed him with such passion. "You know, it's a
wonder why we had never done this before."
"I think that's an X-File in itself," Mulder said, laughing. He
paused. "I think it's because we're too afraid to be rejected."
"You're right," Scully whispered. She put down the glass. "I think
that we should take this to the bedroom."
They got up from the couch, and went to her bedroom. The kisses
began to become a bit more passionate, and then they began to make
love on Scully's bed.
Dana Scully's apartment
Later On That Night
"I can't believe that we did this," Scully replied. She
put on her clothes as she watched Mulder getting ready to
go back to his apartment.
"Neither can I, Dana. It's all right if I call you that?"
Mulder asked.
"Yes, it's all right."
"Dana, if it's all right with you, I'll like for you to call me
Fox," Mulder said, as he looked into her open blue eyes for a
response.
"That'll be fine. How about we remain Mulder and Scully at
work, and in private, we can be Dana and Fox?" Scully asked.
"That's a good idea. We don't want people to know about us being
lovers just yet," Mulder said with a smile. "You know there's
a rumor going around calling us Spooky and Mrs. Spooky..."
"Maybe they know something that we just found out?" Scully
said as she snuggled close to him.
Scully and Mulder will find out something that will bring them
closer than before.
Northeast Georgetown Medical Center
Dr. Elaine Livingstone's office
A Month Later
Wednesday, 10 a.m.
Scully decided to see Dr. Elaine Livingstone, her friend from
University of Maryland where she studied forensic medicine while
Elaine studied obstrectics/genealogy, about her lab results. "Am
I pregnant?"
Elaine put on her glasses, and read Scully's pregnancy test. "Dana,
you are pregnant. Congratulations!"
"It's positive?" Scully asked. She saw her friend nod. "I can't
believe it. I thought that..."
"I can see how shocked you are, Dana. I'm sure that both you
and Mulder are going to be good parents. So, how are you planning
on telling him?"
"Oh, I thought about putting the results in my X-File when I was
abducted," Scully said with a smile. "It's very romantic
that way. I can just imagine how excited he'll be."
Dana Scully's apartment
Wednesday, 10:30 a.m.
Scully sat down at her computer, and typed up her announcement
about her pregnancy. "Dear Fox, guess what? In eight months,
you're going to be a father. I'm pregnant!! Love, Dana." She saved
the document as babymulder.doc and printed it out. She smiled at
the note. *He's going to be so happy as I am. I thought that we
would never have children, but now it's happening.*
