Scully couldn’t sleep. She looked at the clock to see it was 10:20 pm. She had gone to bed less than an hour before, but her mind was still turning over how Doggett had looked when he saw her with Mulder. She quickly got dressed, knowing what she had to do.
Scully slipped into Mulder’s hospital room, seeing that his eyes were closed. He was awake though.
"Scully?"
"hey..." SHe smiled before she checked to see if any hospital staff were coming. Mulder seemed to find this amusing.
"Ooh..being a rebel.." Mulder made an effort to smile, but was too weak.
Scully rested her head against Mulder's chest as she listened to the steady beating of his heart. It was like she was realizing their chapter was ended..and John Doggett was her new saga.
The on duty nurse thought she was seeing things when she looked over to see the red-headed woman. However, she made the decision not to tell the nurse in charge. Maybe it was woman's intuition, but ther ewas something else going on, and maybe it had something tod ow tiht the tall brown-haired man she had seen, looking so lost.
"I'm sorry I woke you," Scully continued. "I just came to check on you...and to say good-bye."
"Kersh finally got to you, huh?"
That got a half-smile. "I'm not leaving the Bureau. At least, not any time soon.
"Then what?"
"I set out to find you. Now I have."
Mulder gently lifted Scully's chin so that he was looking in her eyes. He wiped a tear from her cheek, attempting a smile.
"It's okay. I understand."
Scully's eyes closed as she kissed into Mulder's hair. "Go back to sleep." She pushed hair from his foread, her eyes still glistening with unshed tears. She slipped out in the same manner that she had slipped in.
Doggett saw her car pull up and was waiting for her when she arrived. He opeend the door before she could ring the bell.
"Dana?"
"Hi." Scully paused before she asked uncertainly, "Can I come in?"
Doggett seemed to remember himself after she had asked. He moved to one side to allow her to come in.
"I don't have any coffee, but I could offer you juice, or water. I have beer."
"No..Thank you, I'm good."
Doggett indicated the couch, sitting beside her.
"Whant's wrong? Is Agent Mulder alright?" Doggett could tell in her voice and in her eyes that something had appened. Hetook her hand in his, but remained silent, waiting for her to tell him what happened.
Instead, Scully kissed him, soft at first, then gradually growing deeper. He ran his fingers in her hair and deepend the kiss. When they finally came up for air, Doggett whispered, "If I asked you to stay with me.."
"I"ll be here when you wake up," Scully promised, kissing him.
"Wrap your legs around me," Doggett whispered hoarsely in her ear. He continued to kissx her as they walked down the hallway, kicking the bedroom door shut behind them.
