Summary: Mulder and Scully's romantic evening, and Scully finds out that she's pregnant. ------------------------------------------- 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 grey 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 coach, 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/geneology, 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.* End of Story Now read: Discovery of Truth Will Mulder find out that he's going to be a daddy?
