| He grinned then quickly sobered, "Scully, be careful.
Stay armed even at the hospital. If there’s panic. . . " She nodded. "And
keep your phone on. Call me immediately if you need me." "Who else would I call?" She squeezed his hand and turned to leave. Chapter 1a |
He woke disoriented, not sure where he was or why. His first realization was that the warm bundle next to him was Scully. This brought the inevitable physical response. Not again, she wasn’t stupid. He moved slightly away from her and she followed him in her sleep, maintaining contact. Not fair, she was too, hell too Scully for this. Chapter 1b |
He looked away, "I don’t remember. Scully we may have touched hands, but not. . . " He gave an unamused chuckle. "You didn’t know I wanted to be with you. You never knew how many nights I drove over to your apartment to tell you. But I never had the guts to come to your door. I was always afraid your neighbors would tell you that you were being stalked. I felt like some kind of bastardized Charlie Brown, in love with his little red-headed girl." They were both silent, absorbing this. Chapter 1b |
"No. This is too special." Now she was lying on the bed and he was leaning over her. "Will you marry me?" The words came out in a rush, but before she could respond he continued. "I figure my odds have improved, being one of the last men on earth." She made a sound, a laugh? A sob? He wasn’t sure. "Of course I’ll marry you." "Of course? You said of course?" She was that sure? No way. "If it matters, my answer would have been the same last week." Chapter 1b |
"I want whatever makes you happy Scully." "Damn you Fox Mulder, and damn those insecurities of yours! You’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you? Since we’ve been together you’ve been expecting me to leave you – run away, fall in love with someone else, die. You just can’t believe I’m with you. That I want to be with you. "Well let me tell you something Fox Mulder, I waited a long time to get married. I waited until I was sure of what I wanted. You’re stuck with me, and now that I finally am pregnant, you’re stuck with both of us. It’s a package deal and you can’t get out of it. Do you understand me?" Chapter 2b |
"And for the record, you pull a stunt like that again and my child's 'Uncle Walt' will be bouncing him on his knee from a wheelchair." Mulder gave him a full toothed grin, very feral, and patted him on the back. Skinner grinned, nodded again and pushed off. Daylight was wasting, and they had a lot of miles to cover. Chapter 3a |
"Oh Mulder." Tears overflowed from her eyes. Mulder was speechless staring at a sight he’d never thought to see. Even these months of knowing it was really going to happen hadn’t prepared him for this sight. This woman, the only woman he’d ever really loved, holding their child was too much for him to absorb. "Mulder?" He hadn’t realized he was crying too. She took his hand and laid it on the baby, just being silent together. The others in the room were forgotten. Chapter 4 |
He pulled her against him; "It was thoughts of you that kept me warm Scully. You always pull at me, keep me grounded. There is no other woman, there couldn’t be. If you and I could never have physical love again it wouldn’t keep me from loving you every night. Scully, please." Chapter 8 |
As for me, you're my life Scully. If you'd been a dogcatcher before, it wouldn't make any difference to me. I love you - you and our kids... kids, damn Chapter 9 |
"Let’s just say anything he can’t do, isn’t worth doing." As Scully spoke and Bill’s face darkened. Mulder put his hand on her shoulder and she seemed to relax a little. Chapter 17 |
She looked up at him indulgently; he was only a Dad after all, at least that was the impression she gave. Chapter 17 |
“Daddy? Why are you and Mommy out here naked?” Scully looked up then, “Oh my god.” But Mulder was no help, laughing out loud now. She glared down at him. “Give me the blanket.” She hissed. “Would you rather her see you naked Scully, or me?” He tried to look serious, but winked at Katy. Another glare, but she looked over at Katy. “Honey, could you be really quiet and slip into our room to get my robe?” “Okay.” Katy grinned widely. “What’s so funny, Squirt?” Mulder asked. “You’re both so purple.” “Oh god.” Scully buried her face in Mulder’s chest, he was laughing again. “I thought you said your Mom and I were always purple.” “Yeah, but you’re both so bright purple today.” Scully shook her head, not looking up. “You’re even brighter than Hickey and Beth.” That brought a new spasm of laughter from Mulder. Scully punched him then and he huffed, trying to control it. Chapter 20 |
“What are we going to do with him Katy?” Scully squeezed her daughter. “Just love him.” Mulder blinked at that, but Scully nodded. “Yep, I guess that’s about all he’s good for.” Chapter 21 |
“You, you’re . . . you’re surrounded by purple.” “You just now seeing that, Scully?” He asked, his voice shaking slightly. He drew her into his arms. Chapter 31 |
“I don’t want to freak you out any more.” “Go ahead, while we’re numb.” Charlie offered. Chapter 33 |
“You . . . you look like the girl who came to my room and dropped her robe all those years ago. And changed my life.” Chapter 42 |
“I, I never really thought about it. I got my true love here, why not everyone?” Chapter 46 |
