NOTES: Aurora -- thanks for the jumpstart! :D I worked on this story last year for New Year's Eve 2006, but I decided to postpone it -- until now. Enjoy! + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Mulder and Scully had a private party while their son was already asleep in his toddler bed. He looked at the empty champagne bottle while looking at his beloved wife and life long partner. He pulled her close to him, murmuring underneath his breath." I think 2006 will be our year." He then kissed her gently on the lips. Scully nodded. "I think so, too. Everything will be perfect this year." She looked into his beautiful hazel eyes. "You know, I think this year will be filled with hope." She paused, enjoying the quiet night. "This is nice, Mulder." "I know." "I remember a certain New Year's Eve when you kissed me in public." Mulder nodded. "It was the start of the millennium. I remember trying to kiss you again at your apartment. You put on the radio and we could barely dance." "You were in a sling, Mulder." Mulder smiled at the memory. "I know." Scully got up and walked towards their son in the next room. When she returned, she smiled at Mulder. "William is sound asleep. You know, I've been thinking we should have another one." "We should? Are you sure? You had problems when you were pregnant with him?" She nodded. "I know that. I know I'm at risk, Mulder. You don't have to tell me that." "I hear a 'but' coming, Scully." "I want us to have another baby despite the risks. We could start now..." "Yes, we should." ~*~*~* The End
