Making a mental note that he ought to clean the place up he continued in to the TV room. The couch was broken and the feathers peeped out in more than one place. Had to adjust that too, he thought bending down to pick up a pair of pants to hang them over one of the feathers. It had been a long day at work and he came home late as usual. Skinner was breathing down his neck wanting answers from him, always failing in receiving them. He wasn't putting his heart in this case, it was boring, besides, he couldn't care less. The bedroom was all dark, he searched for the switch and was just about to turn on the lights when he caught sight of her sleeping stature in the bed. Her small body was moving up and down, softly from breathing. He leaned against the wall, watching her sleep, loving the sight. How could something so beautiful belong to him? Staring to undress he didn't take his eyes from her even once. Couldn't help but smile to himself as he remembered their fight that morning, a useless fight about nothing, leading them nowhere. Obviously she regretted it too. He crawled under the sheets feeling her body warmth in his bed cloth, comforting. Closing up to her he didn't want to wake her up, but he couldn't resist the urge to fold his arms around her waist and under her head. She snuggled against him, half asleep, half awake. "You're late," she whispered taking his hand. He laughed, a soft boyish laugh that browsed the back of her neck causing the small hair to rise. "I'm sorry about this morning," she continued to whisper sounding a little more awake now. "Me too," he said, placing a single kiss on her shoulder. They lay like that for a while, enjoying the closeness, knowing they were safe and together. Scully closed her eyes feeling him caress her arm smoothly, barely touching the skin there. It felt wonderful. "How did it go today?" he suddenly asked moving his hand down over her abdomen. "Good," she smiled placing her own hand over his. "We're both doing just fine." He kissed the soft curve of her neck. "It's starting to show now," he whispered close to her ear. A loud sigh was released from the body next to him and he realized it had came out wrong. "You're beautiful. I love it," he tried to reassure, taking her closer. Forcing a smile she started feeling clumsy. "Personally, I think it's sexy," he told her, his voice dead serious. She rolled her eyes. "Really sexy," he filled in moving her hair away so he could reach to kiss her on a spot under her earlobe. "You're crazy," she giggled as he deposited her down on her back to make action of his thoughts. "I have been called worse," he smiled devilish, kissing her jawline. Relaxing against the pillows she felt him moving pass her breast and down to her abdomen placing his hands on each side. Two familiar lips were placed on the center of the bulb that had started to form on her stomach. It felt nice. She could feel him shift his head and place his ear against her abdomen brushing his soft hair over her naked skin. It made her shiver of delight. Mulder was careful not to build any pressure on her sensitive abdomen, trying to make out the sounds within. She was breathing calmly under him and the rhythm made him relax just as much as she did. This was somehow beyond his reach. Something that even Fox Mulder had a hard time to comprehend. He had in his hold, the one woman he had ever loved, a woman who loved him back and understood his spirit better than anyone had ever done before. A woman who carried inside her a baby that was a living proof of their love, a baby that was him and her combined in one. "Scully?" he whispered, not looking at her but just following the measure of her breathing. "Mhm," she managed sounding drowsy. He glanced up at her noticing her eyes closed and her face soft, without tensions. She was falling slowly in to slumber and he didn't think she was actually absorbing his words. "Uhm, never mind," he smiled kissing her navel. "I can tell you tomorrow." "OK," she mumbled in her state of sleep. Mulder lay down with his head resting beside her abdomen. He leaned his head on a pile of sheet to get perfect view over this seemingly new part of her. Letting a gentle finger sweep over the pale skin he leaned over to feel his lips against the side of her stomach, so delicate it wasn't even meant as a kiss. He held his lips like that for a moment, breathing in her scent, memorizing it. A swelling sensation wallowed over him making him close his eyes. "I love you," he whispered against her skin. In the corner of his eye, he could see her smile. The End.
