Only You
“There has to be an end Scully”
She rolls over to face him, keeping close to him, not wanting to be out of his arms.
“For you too, Mulder” she says, the tears threatening finally spilling down her cheeks.
His brow furrows, “what do you mean” he whispers, thumb coming up to wipe her tears.
“You could leave Mulder,” her breath catches, words barely forming on her lips, “leave me and and find someone who can give you babies.”
More tears slide down her cheeks.
“Find someone who is more of a woman than me.”
She’s crying now, tucking her face into his shoulder, tears wetting his t-shirt.
His heart breaks, his tears fall just as much as hers. He holds her tighter and tucks his head down into her, speaking into her hair. Hands running up and down her back, trying to comfort her.
“Scully, that’s not what I want. That’s not what I want” repeating the words, hoping she really hears.
“You are the one I want. You, only you. You are enough, just as you are. You are a whole woman just as you are. I don’t want to leave, I don’t want another woman. It’s you Scully, only you.”
His words are quiet, whispers from his heart to hers. Her crying subsides a little, she lifts her head out of his shoulder and looks into his eyes.
“I love you Dana,” his whispered words are so soft and so tender. “I’ll only ever love you. It’s only you for me, Scully.”
“Me too Mulder,” she says. “I love you.”
His hand rakes through her hair and pulls her into a kiss.
