Author: DBTL, shyly handing it over.
Subject: A fanfiction by me....

Okay, here I am straight outta shippervile. THis is a piece I wrote back last year, closer two almost two years ago. It's called "Secrets Told." This is only the first half, since the forum can't hold that much stuff...

Disclaimer: Mulder, Scully, Skinner, Emily, Mrs. Scully, Tara and Bill Scully JR are all Chris Carters, 1013 and the FOX network's. (And of corse Mulder and Scully belong to each other.) He thought them up and I'm not making any money. But now I've got a question. Why do we have to put disclaimers on two page pieces of fan fiction when people write X-Files novels and make millions of dollars? Let me know what you think. Oh, yeah. Luke, Leia and Star Wars are all George Lucas'. I'm using the names. But both are stories are totally awesome. Ally McBeal belongs to the FOX network and other people. Mad About You I'm not sure but it's not mine so don't think it is. Hanson belongs to themselves and Mercury Records. Teen magazine is their own, not mine. Banana Republic is the same as Teen. Gap too. 20/20 is whatever network it airs on, Diane Sawyer is her self. ‘Because You Loved Me' is Celine Dion's song. Luke and Leia Mulder are my charterers, you my use them if you have a shippy use for them. (But nothing over ‘R' rated please I want to be able to read it.) Agent Parker is my charterer, as is Kenny, Beth, Fox and Samantha Scully, and the step-dad, Kyle.
Rating: P.G.
Do I want feed back?! YES PLEASE!. Flames, good stuff. Just send it to lana_in_black@hotmail.com.
Author's notes: My silly stupid story.


"Leia, will you please put on some eyeshadow? You have shoot in two hours and we need to be in LA in half an hour so you'll be there on time."
"But Mom, I still have my homework to do and I've got a test tomorrow in math class!" I protested.
"Leia Jean Mulder, don't you argue with me."
"Yes Mom." And with that I marched up the stairs to my room to put on some eye stuff.
I hate my mother at times like these. I know that sounds horrible, but since when does modeling come before school? And it's been like this my whole life. She's forced me to model and act when all I've wanted to do is my homework. When I grow up I want to be a criminal profiler like my dad is.
Well, I've never actually met my father. He's an FBI agent. He and my mom met fourteen years ago at park. The were pretty serious. Then Dad left for Oxford and Mom found out that she was pregnant with me and my twin brother Luke. She moved us out to a small town outside of LA. But she still hasn't told our father about the two of us. We're fourteen and she still hasn't told him.
She makes me so mad.
All I want is to be able to do my homework and get A's and meet my father.
But for now I have to go and smile pretty for ‘Teen'. Luke is working on a guest starring role on "Ally McBeal."
I wonder how my Dad is in math?
On the car ride out I told Mom about wanted to meet Dad for about the ten millionth time. She told me to forget it. She didn't want us to know him. I told her that I did want to know him. She told me that she didn't know how to reach him.
"So look him up in the phone book."
"Leia, I will slap you."
"No you won't. It might give me a bruise or a mark to keep me from modeling. And you wouldn't want that." Did I mention I was a smart mouth, which Mom swears up and down that I got from Dad, along with my brains, profiling ability, and secretive, emotionally passionate nature.
"Leia shut that smart mouth before I ground it."
So I shut up.

The basement offices.
Same day and time.
Scully POV
"Scully, have you ever felt like there's someone that is important in your life in some way but you don't know them or about them?" Mulder asked me that day when I walked in the door.
"I sort of felt there was a part of me missing right before Emily was discovered. Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering because I've got this feeling like there's people that should be in my life that aren't. Besides Sam."
"Oh. Well, if you ever want to talk..."
"I know Scully."
"Well, with that out of the way, what have you got for us today?"
"Absolutely nothing. Do you wanna go see a movie or something?"
"On work time?" I asked, shocked.
"Sure. Unless you want to sit around and do nothing."
"Well, I'll go out but not to see a movie. How about you teach me how to field a ball this time instead of batting?" I suggested, thinking of when he taught me to bat and how much fun that was. And yes, I loved it when he was there with his arms around my hips, whispering in my ear, his check so close to mine.
"Got a mitt and a ball?"
"Yeah, out in my car. I was with my nephews a couple days ago."
"Well then let's go."
"Let's." I said as Mulder guided me out the office doors by placing his hand in the small of my back. Oh, if he only knew what that does to me. We went out to the car and got out the two mitts, bat and the women's softball that I had out there.
"Where?" Mulder asked me.
"The field we were at last time." I said, thinking of the memories.
It was only five blocks from our offices and we got there in about ten minutes. The place was deserted.
"Okay Scully. Go out there to second base and I'll hit you a few."
"Yes sir!" I said grinning.
Mulder hit me pop flies and grounders. I caught a couple and fielded a few.
"Do you want me to pitch to you?" Mulder asked after we'd been fielding for about two hours. Good thing it was Friday and I had on jeans and sneakers. And a tee-shirt too, for those of you with your minds are far in the gutter as Mulder's.
"Sure. Maybe I'll hit some too."
Mulder pitched me twenty pitches before I hit one. When I did that he ran up and grabbed my hand, interlinked our fingers and dragged me around the bases. When we go to home he yelled "and Agent Scully has done it again. There's yet another home run for her!!!" I grinned.
Our gazes met and locked. Had that not happened we would have seen or heard the person slip into the stands.
I slowly started to stand up on tip toe. Mulder ducked his head down to meet my lips. At first they just brushed softly, but then it became a game of tongue hockey. He took my face in his hands and I wrapped my arms around his neck. So this is what I missed when I was stung by that damned bee in his hallway.


Same Day and time.
Skinner POV.
There are times when I just need out of my office. To take a walk and clear my head of all the things that I'm supposed to keep up with at the bureau.
And today was no different. I had looked up about two and a half hours ago to see my favorite pair of agents, Mulder and Scully, slip out hand in hand laughing. Hmm, I wonder if this means that they're FINALLY together. I sure hope so because I've got about three hundred in the office pool of when the two of them are gonna get together. Right now most of it is on this week. I don't think there's a single agent or anyone in this building for that matter, that doesn't have at least twenty-five bucks in.
Anyway, I worked for a couple more hours and when they weren't back I went to see if I could find them. They couldn't have gone far because their cars were still in the lot, side by side as usual. So I started walking. I figured they might be at the ball field maybe watching a game.
So that's where I went first.
They were at the ball field alright. Agent Scully was up to bat and Mulder was pitching to her. I slowly made my way over, hoping that I could get to the bleachers before they saw me.
CRACKKKK!! Scully got a piece of that one. It went over Mulder's head, and almost to the fence. Mulder ran into home and interlinked their fingers, pulling a giggling Scully around the bases. Scully giggles?
When they got home I got to the bleachers and sat down to watch what was going on. Mulder had just yelled something.
I must have sat there watching them play tongue hockey for about five minutes before they finally pulled apart.
Then Scully turned and saw me. If her eyes could have gotten any bigger they would have been the size of the softball that she had just hit. Mulder saw me right after she did and turned about as red as the lacing on the ball. They just stood there with a look of embarrassment and guilt on their faces.
"Well, it looks like I just won my self about three thousand dollars agents." I said standing to walk over to talk to the two of them.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Agent Scully squeaked out.
"I was talking a walk to clear my head when I stopped to watch the game. Any score yet?" I asked noting the pink color Mulder was turning.
"Still nothing."
"I see. Well, you two have fun and I'll see you tomorrow."
"You mean we get the day off?" Scully asked.
"Yep. Have fun and be sure to stop when you get too hot and can't stand it any more." I said with a shake of my pointer finger. I've always looked after these two like they were my little siblings. Boy are they fun to tease.


Two weeks later.
Leia POV
"Kids, 20/20 would like to meet and interview you." Mom told us one day when we were eating dinner.
"Sure. When?" I said starting to feel excited. The ‘Teen' shoot had been a huge deal and even though I hate this job I was thrilled to walk into school see all of the "popular" girls faces. Luke said that things were the same for him and the acting spot he had just done on ‘Ally McBeal.'
"Tomorrow."
Luke dropped his fork on his plate.
"Tell them sure! What time?"
"Nine in the morning so it'll be ready to go for Wednesday of this week."
"Oh this is so exciting! May I please be excused?"
"Yes you may."
I ran up to my room. Whoa! 20/20 wanted to do a documentary on us! I couldn't believe it one little bit!!!!
I went to bed nice and early to make sure that I got enough sleep.
The next day I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off at 7:30. Luke was already up, I could hear him moving around next door to me.
When we got the studio I was sat down and my hair was curled (even more), my makeup was done and I was dressed in a black, sleeveless, low cut top and tight Khaki pants. For shoes I was given a pair of black dress boots. The plan was for them to show clips of us running around, acting, modeling and some old home movies to be playing while they introduced what was going on.
They got me dancing to "Because You Loved Me." Then came the fun part. Getting to answer the questions.
"Guys, we understand that you've never seen your birth father. Is that true?"
"Well, Luke and I were born when my mom and dad were living together. Actually, he left before Mom knew she was pregnant with us so he doesn't know about us. He's an FBI agent, that's all that we know about him."
"What do you think of never knowing your birth father?"
"We hate it. But we don't know how to get in touch with him and Mom won't call him. So until we're eighteen this is the way that things are." I said.
"When did you two start modeling?"
"When we were about a year old. We were baby models for the GAP. We were born in England and moved over here when Mom got a job as a lawyer for a company in LA."
"What do you think of your model and acting career? As we understand that there's a music deal for you two also."
"Well, we wish that we were able to do more stuff with our friends instead of always being yanked out of a party to go to a shoot or filming. But we're excited about the music deal. We don't start recording until next year thought. This way we will have time to get some stuff down. We plan on doing songs like ‘You may be right' and ‘American Pie.' Oldies." Luke told her.
"What grade are you guys in?"
"Eighth. I'm on honor role. I want to be a criminal profiler when I grow up, Luke wants to keep singing and acting."
"Well, when we come back a look at what the future holds in store for these young stars."


Mulder POV.
Wednesday
Things have never been better in my life. Samantha was found, I was still aloud on the X-Files and I still had the partner of my dreams by my side. We had started to see on another two weeks ago and are now engaged.
We were going out for dinner in a few minutes.
I met Scully at the bar near headquarters. She already had a both staked out for the two of us.
"Scully!" I called out, hoping that she'd hear me before she saw me.
"Mulder!" She yelled and turned around. I ran to meet her and she jumped up and gave me a deep kiss.
"So what's up?" I asked her.
"Well, Mom and I got the dress today. We also made arraignments for the church and your tux. Oh, Mulder, these two months are just gonna poke by!"
"Don't worry. But when are we gonna tell Skinner and company?"
"How about the day after the wedding?" She said.
"Sounds good to me."
Scully said that she had to go to the bathroom. As she slid out of the booth I looked up at the TV. 20/20 was on.
"You've watched them grown up from baby models for the Gap to modeling for magazines like ‘Teen' and brands like Banana Republic to being guest stars on shows like ‘Ally McBeal' and ‘Mad About You.' And now hear Leia and Luke Mulder's real thoughts on things like their careers, being twins; much less twins with a Star Wars name link and growing up without their birth father even knowing that they're alive." Behind Diane was a picture of the twins. They were about fourteen. The weird thing was, they had my last name. Weird. There are very few Mulder's in this country. It's a Jewish name.
The girl had chin length, curly red hair and hazel green eyes. The boy had dark brown hair and hazel eyes also.
He looked exactly like I did when I was fourteen.
"What are you watching Mulder?" Scully asked as she slid into the booth next to me.
"A special on Luke and Leia Mulder. They're teen stars."
"I saw them on ‘Mad About You.'" She said after she saw the picture.
"I can't believe that they have the same last name as me. Luke looks just like I did when I was that age."
"The girl looks familiar to me. Is she a model?"
"Yeah."
"Guys, we understand that you've never seen your birth father. Is that true?" Diane asked them.
"Well, Luke and I were born when my mom and dad were living together. Actually, he left before Mom knew she was pregnant with us so he doesn't know about us. He's an FBI agent and that's all that we know about him." Leia told Diane.
"What do you think of never knowing your birth father?"
"We hate it. But we don't know how to get in touch with him and Mom won't call him. So until we're eighteen this is the way that things are." The girl, Leia, answered.
FBI agent. The last name Mulder.
Scully and I looked at one another.
"Do you think that you're their..?"
"I don't know, but I think that it's time that I went to see Bethany, my ex girlfriend. We met at a park when I was out the summer before a school year at Oxford."
"I'm coming with you."

One Week Later.
Emerson/Mulder residence.
Leia POV.
"Ding Dong!!!" That was the doorbell. It was Wednesday and Luke and I were doing our homework in our living room. Mom was working on closing arguments on her laptop in the chair. I was sprawled out one part of the couch and Luke was sitting cross legged at the other end.
"I'll get it." Mom said, setting her black laptop on the coffee table.
"Aren't you glad that we don't have anything to do tonight as far a business goes?" I asked Luke.
"Yeah. What's the square root of 10,000?"
"100, Luke."
"Oh thanks. I thought it was 1,000."
"That's the square root of 1,000,000 Luke."
"I knew that. I was just testing you."
"Sure you were."
He muttered something else but I ignored him and went back to the three pages of math homework. Man, being in the advanced classes sure can suck sometimes. But I love every bit of it. The only class that I'm not advanced in is gym. And that's because there is no advanced class for gym.
"I wonder what's taking Mom so long at the door?" Luke said a couple of minutes later.
"I don't know. Probably a neighbor stopped by to chat and Mom didn't let her in." I answered, not really caring. Now how do you multiple decimals again?


Same day time and place.
Mulder POV
Scully and I had caught a plane the next morning. I had looked up Beth in her college records and found that she was living in a small suburb of LA. But she was now Bethany Emerson.
When we got to the house we saw that it was more like a mansion. I could see a pool in the back and a fountain in the front. Scully looked at me wide eyed.
We stopped the car and got out. After walking up the stairs we rang the bell.
Beth opened the door. As soon as she saw us her eyes went wide.
"Why Fox, what are you doing here? "
"Those twins that were on 20/20 last Wednesday, they're your kids aren't they?" I asked her.
"Yessss, why do you ask?"
"They have MY last name. Care to explain that?"
She sighed.
"You at as well come in and hear the whole story." She lead us down the hallway of the giant house.
"They're in the living room doing their homework. Leia's in all advanced classes. Luke is going to be in the second semester. Here we are." She opened a door. In side was a huge living room. There was a girl, Leia, sprawled out on one end and Luke was sitting on the other end of a huge couch.
"Kids, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine. Kids this is Fox."
"This is my friend Dana." I said to them.
"Nice to meet you." The kids said in sync.
"Kids, would you mind moving to your rooms to finish your homework?" She asked them.
"Sure Mom."
They packed up their homework and went out the door. A couple seconds later we heard them clacking up the stairs.
"Sit down, please." Beth said, waving her arm at the couch.
Scully and I sat sharing one cushion. I put my arm around her shoulders. Beth seemed taken aback at first, but she didn't say anything.
"After you left me Fox, I discovered that I was pregnant. I didn't want to have an abortion, I decided that I wanted the baby. Then I found out when I was about five months that it was twins. I tried to reach you but I couldn't. The kids have wanted to meet you for quite a while, but I wouldn't let them. I wanted them to be stars. That's what I thought was best for them. They both hate it most of the time. But both are extremely excited about the record deal that they have. Leia does enjoy acting. Luke likes it all, when he isn't resenting it. He doesn't model any longer. I just wish that I'd done what was really best for them and let them grow up with their friends instead of camera men and agents."
"I can't believe that you never told me. I would have wanted to know. I would have at least like to have been able to send them presents and call them on their birthday. Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because I was scared that you'd take them away from their lives here. From their careers. From me." She confessed.
"Can I meet them now?" I asked.
"Yes. You might as well. Hold on, I'll go get them."
She left the room. I heard her walking towards the stairs.
"Mulder? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Scully. I just can't believe that she never told me. I would have at least liked to know them over the phone."
Scully became quiet. I knew she was thinking about Emily, her daughter who died. Scully got to be a mother for a week and here I am, with the knowledge that my kids are healthy and alive and not created in a lab without my knowledge.
"Oh Scully, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to go on and on."
"Mulder I'm fine. I just wish that I'd been able to know Emily more."
Just then I heard two pairs of feet come running do the stairs. Leia ran in the room about a half step ahead of her brother.
"Mom told us that you wanted to talk to us." Luke said, sitting down on the other end of the two part couch. Leia sat down next to him.
"Yeah. Did your mom tell you who I am?"
"She told us that you were an old friend of hers." Leia said.
"Well, guys, I am an old friend of your mother's. But I am also you father."
At first they just sat there in shock. Then Leia jumped up and gave me a hug.
"Daddy! Why didn't you try and find us sooner?"
"I didn't know about you till about a week ago. Scully and I were having dinner and we saw the 20/20 special. At first I didn't catch on. But when you mentioned FBI, with the fact that our last name is the same, it took me just a couple of seconds to figure it all out."
"Scully. I thought her name was Dana." Leia said
"It is. But your father and I are partners and he calls me by my last name." Scully explained.
"Do partners generally sit that close together with their arms around the other's shoulders?" Luke asked with a glint in his eye. If Sam hadn't been taken I have a feeling that I would have been a lot like this kid.
"Well, no. But we're engaged." I confessed.
"You are?" I heard Beth ask from the doorway.
"Yes we are." Scully answered.
"Well, congratulations." She said and walked away.
"Wow. I think that I'm gonna faint." Leia said, hugging Scully. I could tell that Scully liked this girl.
"Dad, are you gonna try to get custody of us?" Luke asked.
"Try my hardest. But is alright with you guys if I get married first? That way the court will see that you'll have a mother figure when your out with me."
"You mean have a mother figure at all."
"Leia, what do you mean?"
"Mom's always rushing us to an audition or a shoot. Often our homework is done in the morning at breakfast or in the car ride there. I want to be a criminal profiler when I grow up and I can't do that unless I get good grades and go to a good college. But how am I supposed to do that if I don't have time to do my homework?"
"Don't get us wrong. Stardom's great. But we wish that we were in charge of our bookings. I just want a year off after the CD is recorded. But Mom doesn't listen. She wants us to keep it up. It's almost like she's the one living our lives, not us." Leia finished.
Scully looked at me wide eyed. I could see that she wanted to take care of these kids, to help them out. But they weren't her kids, much as I wished they were.
"Kids, the wedding is in about two months. I'm going to move the date up to next month instead of our original. That way Mulder and I can try to get part time custody of you two sooner." Scully told them. I was the one who had let her choose the date that we got married on. But this unselfish act that she was doing just made me love her even more. If that was possible.
"If that's okay with your father."
"It's alright by me. Thank you Scully."
"You're welcome."
"Kids, we need to leave for now. I'll call you guys tomorrow. When is you birthday by the way?"
"February 24." They answered in sync. Pisces.
"That's a day after my birthday." Scully told them.
"Cool. See you soon Dad and Dana." Leia. I could tell right off that she was the talker of the two.
Scully went out to our rented car and I said goodbye to Beth. It was about nine, and we were worn out.
"What do you think of them Scully?" I asked her as I turned the car onto the freeway.
"I think that they are their father's children. Luke seems quiet and Leia seems to be the talker. Where did Beth get those names? Star Wars?"
"Yes. When you went out ahead of me I asked her. She said that she couldn't decide on names. When she was in her room the day after they were born she was watching A New Hope and decided that she might as well name them Luke and Leia. I'm glad that she did. It's nice to have them named what I would have named them."
"You would have named your kids Luke and Leia. Somehow I am not surprised." She said, teasing me.
"Shut up Agent Scully." I told her.


Part Two in another post!
