Subject: Part two

Wedding Day, July 24.
Scully POV.

Here I am, on my wedding day. I can't believe that it's here. And I can't believe that I'm marrying Fox Mulder.
Wait, yes I can.
We've always been married in our own, odd way. Now here's where we make it official.
"Dana? Can I talk to you for a minute?" My brother Bill asked me.
I nodded, hoping that he was telling me that he was gonna get along with Mulder.
"Dana, I don't agree with what you're doing. In fact I think that this is the biggest mistake of your life. But I'm not you, or your parent. I want you to be happy. And if Fox Mulder is the guy who makes you happy, then so be it. And if you love him then I'm sure that I'll love him too. But that's no promise. But I'll try." He told me.
"You're right Bill. You're not the one calling the shots on this one. I'm glad that you're looking out for me, but this is my life and I know that I'm not making a mistake. And Mulder does make me happy. And I do love him. Even if you don't. But I'm very happy that you're gonna make the effort. Thank you." I told him.
"Well, I'd better go and sit before Mom and Tara come looking for me." He left. I was glad that he was gone. He drives me nuts most of the time. I hope that Luke and Leia aren't like this when they get to be my age.
Now there's two people that I'm glad I met. Mulder and I have a court date set to try and get part time custody. Luke and Leia have each made a statement up and they are ready to give it.
I walked to the doors. The wedding coordinator opened them. The wedding march started to play. I walked down the aisle to my Fox.
After the ceremony we and the twins went and changed then went out to dinner. Beth had dropped them off with Mulder for the week of the wedding.
Leia changed and was wearing a tight, black, low cut and short dress. She had on platform black shoes and her hair was down and curled. It framed her face and she had on no makeup, or so it would seem if I hadn't watched her put it on. She looked about 20.
Luke was dressed in Khakis and a dress top with a tie. He looked just like his father, which was not a bad thing.
When Leia walked out of her bedroom, a.k.a. the spare room with a sleeping bag on the floor, Mulder's jaw about dropped.
"I have half a brain to go tell you to put on something less showy. But I'm not because you look great. Now, do you have on makeup?"
"A little Daddy. Why?"
"Just wondering."
I came out of Mulder's bedroom a minute later. He looked great, as usual.
"Scully......" His voice trailed off. I walked over and straightened his tie. I was wearing a forest green dress and heels of the same color. The dress was full length and hugged me in all the right spots.
I reached up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. We had decided to not go on a honeymoon. The trial was a week after the wedding anyway. I was glad because we need to tell Skinner and find a place to live. We would probable get a house if we got custody of the kids. If not he would move into my apartment.
Anyhow, I have a feeling that we're gonna be getting that house.
"Ready, Scully?" Mulder asked me.
"Yes." I said and took his hand and laced our finger together. Leia shut the door and locked it.
When we got to where we were going we were seated right off. It was a good thing that Luke had remembered to conform our reservation at the Olive Garden. Yes, that's where Mulder and I had both wanted to go.
When we were seating down Mulder ordered a bottle of wine. Leia and Luke both got virgin drinks.
When were talking I noticed how the kids kept getting looked at from the other people in the restaurant. They ignored it somehow.
When our food came I wished that I'd taken Leia up on her splitting something suggestion. The portions were huge!
"Excuse me. Are you Leia Mulder?" A boy, about the age of thirteen asked Leia.
"Yep. That's me! What can I do for you?"
"Well, my sister is in the hospital with cancer. She's a big fan of yours. I thought that it might cheer her up if I was able to give her your autograph when I see her next. Would you mind?" He said.
"Of course not. I'm sorry about your sister. What's her name?"
"Samantha. She's nine."
"Well, what's your name?"
"My name is Fox. Imagine that for a name. My parents are really cruel." Fox told her. I shot a look over at *my* Fox. He looked a little shook up but fine.
"Well, Fox, if you've got something for me to right with I can sign that napkin that's sitting right next to me."
"Thank you so much. She's so sick that I'm hoping this will make her forget the pain for a while. She and I are both big fans of yours. We saw you on 20/20 the other night."
"Well, Fox, if you'll hand me that pen I'll write her one right up."
Since I was sitting right besides her I saw just what she was writing. It said:
"Dear Samantha,
I am really sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope that you start to feel better soon. Being sick is no fun! Your brother told me. He is a great brother. Remember that when you are fighting with him.
Love,
Leia Mulder."

She handed the napkin to Luke and he signed his name to.
"I thought that she might feel double better if she got both of our's autographs. Or better for twice as long. Now Fox, here's one for you too. I hope that Samantha is better soon." Leia told him.
"Me too. And thank you again."
"Bye the way, what's your last name?" Leia asked.
"Scully. Fox Scully. I never get any peace at school!" He said in good humor and walked back to his on table.
"Well, Leia that was nice of you to do that." Mulder told her. I noticed that there was something in his eyes. He was thinking about Samantha.
"My heart just went out to him and his sister. We had a half brother named Ken who died a couple of weeks after he was born. We don't talk about it much. The guy that Mom was married to died in a car wreck a couple of weeks after Ken died." Leia said, tears forming in her eyes. Luke reached over and squeezed his sister's hand.
"I'm sorry kids. I just wish that I'd known about you guys."
"It's not your fault Dad. There was no way for you to have know."
"Luke is right. You can't blame yourself Dad. There was no way for you to know." Leia said.
I thought that I'd better change the subject before they started in on their mother.
"What are you guy's favorite colors?" I asked them, noting the thanking look that all three had on.
"Black and alien green." Leia said.
"Sunny yellow or baby blue." Luke answered and blushed.
"What are you blushing for Luke?" Mulder asked him.
"Those are girl colors."
"No they're not. But you wouldn't catch me letting Scully paint the office those colors. But really, if you like them then that's cool." Mulder said.
"Thanks Dad."
"Why do you ask?" Leia asked me.
"Because if we get custody I was gonna paint your rooms those colors." I answered her.
"Cool. Thanks." Luke.
It was when he said that I realized that I loved both of these kids. They were my children, if I was only their step-mom. Just like Mulder was with my Emily.


Same night.
Leia POV.

Dinner was great. We sat around and talked for a couple of hours after we'd finished. When I saw Fox getting up to leave I excused myself and walked over to him, handed him a piece of paper and left.
On that piece of paper was my address in LA, my LA phone number, and dad's address plus a note saying: "let me know how your sister is or just write me for no good reason. PS, please don't show this to anyone. I don't want my address and phone number public knowledge."
Luke shot me a questioning glace but didn't say anything.
I really like both Dad and Dana. I wish that I was her daughter. I love my Mom, but she just doesn't understand that we want to just be kids, not stars.
When we got back to the apartment Dana left and headed for her home. She and dad weren't gonna live together till they knew the custody arrangement.
I changed and crawled into my sleeping bag. As I lay there thinking I could hear Dad the next room. He and Luke were talking. My thoughts drifted. I thought about Fox and his sister Samantha. Fox Scully. My dad and step-mom's names combined. Weird. At last I thought about the trials and the speech that I had prepared. It stated that I wanted to live with my father half the year and my mother the other half. Six and six.


Same night
Mulder POV.
Luke and I were up talking till about three in the morning. I always thought that on my wedding night I'd spend it with Scully. But we both thought it best if we lived apart till we knew whether or not the kids would be there with us. I hoped that they would be. Scully is unable to have kids of her own, but she told me before she left that she considered these to be her kids. Leia had told me before she went to bed that Scully was like her mother. The whole thing reminded me of the relationship that I have with Scully's mother.
The next thing that I thought about was how we were gonna tell Skinner and still stay partners. He had seen us kissing, so if he had wanted to split us up he would have done it a month ago.....
Funny, if we hadn't been at that bar... I would never know.
But I do know. Just like if Scully hadn't been the one to pick up the phone she would have never known about Emily.
But she does know. And that's the thing. It's fate. Just like it was fate when Scully walked into my office almost seven years ago, sent to spy on me. But she hadn't done what they had wanted her to. She had been honest, despite the fact that it got her labeled "Mrs. Spooky." She stood by me and I'll never forget the first that I realized that I was in love with her. It was when we in the arctic and she had a gun on me, yelling that I may not be "Who I am."
In our own way we've always been married. People who met us would be like "and how long have you guys been married?" I don't know where they get that. Scully never wears a ring. Just that gold cross. Leia wears one too. She says that it's a symbol of her faith. Despite her Jewish last name, she's Catholic.
Like I said, Scully and I have always been married in our own, not normal way. And since we're not normal that suits us just fine. The first time that I knew that was the first time that I skipped town after we'd been split up the first time. There she was, telling me that she thought that I'd died. I could have kissed her. I would have if those danged army men hadn't shown up.
Then there was the case where I went after her to the Antarctic. She had been stung and infected with the virus.
*It's your fault that she was stung.* A little voice in the back of my head told me. And it was. If my hand hadn't been there, if I'd been the one stung, if I would have just let her go... Instead of trying to kiss her and get her to stay.
If I'd let her go on the third case when she had a shot with VCS she would still be able to have kids. She wouldn't of had the whole Emily ordeal.
*But she choose to stay with you.* The same little voice told me. And maybe it was right. But I still wish that she'd gone instead of staying with me.
I remember the first time that I told her I loved her. Said those three words. After I'd gone into the Bermuda Triangle and she and The Lone-gunmen balled me out again. Anyway, she said "oh brother" and walked out. I guess she thought that I was drugged. But in my own way I've always been telling her.
I fell asleep wishing that Scully was here with me on our wedding night.


Same night.
Scully POV

I'm glad that Mulder and I are taking things the way we are.
We thought that it would be better if we moved in together after we knew that custody arrangement.
I remember the day that I was called telling me that the next day I was to report to section chief Blevins for reassignment from my teaching job out at Quanacio. He told me that I would be working with Agent Fox Mulder on the X-Files. Great. I got to work with Spooky Mulder. This was gonna look great on my file.
So I tramped down to the basement offices ( oh great) and knocked on his door.
"No one down here but the FBI's most unwanted." Funny, how those were his first words to me since the time that I'd run into him, (literary) a year and a half ago. And those were a mumbled " I'm sorry."
It's funny because to me he's the FBI's most wanted.
Anyway, we ended up in Oregon chasing UFO's.
We've been doing so ever since.
I remember the first time that I trusted him. It was our third case together on the x-files. The killer mutant who eats human livers was about to get mine. The whole time I was trusting Mulder to get there and stop him. And he did. I think that was when I fell in love with him too.
Don't get me wrong. We've had our share of fights and disagreements. The biggest was when his ex-girlfriend/partner showed up. Uugghh. Diana Fowley. How I hate her. Mulder can't stand her either.
But she came to town and he ran off with her to work on the case. But I stayed loyal and he did too.
We've never been anything but.
Wait, yes we have. There was that time with Ed Jersey. We had been partners for four years and got into a huge fight.
I smiled and touched the place where my tatoo was. A snake of all things.
And then there was that case with the vampire when I was missing. She killed her lovers. Don't ask me why Mulder's still alive. He just got lucky I guess. No pun intended.
I'm glad that I stayed with him. I was gonna leave the FBI when they were gonna separate us. But I'm glad that I stayed with him. Glad forever.
I'll never forget the first time that he said that he loved me. It was after he had just gotten back from chasing a ship. A 1939 ship no less. But I thought that he was drugged or tripping.
Up till we were engaged I had never told him that I loved him. But he knew. We've always been "Mr. and Mrs. Spooky Mulder." We would walk down the hall back in our first year and hear people go, "there go the Spookies." It hurt to be dubbed that way at first. But by our second case, I was not caring. After the third case, I was proud.
I'll never forget what he got me for Christmas our sixth year together. A jersey like shirt that on the front says "The X-Files." And on the back where a name would go it says "Mrs. Spooky." And the number is 01. He had gotten one done for him too and it was the same except his has the number 02 and says "Spooky," on it.
I had gotten him a Titanic video. He and I had seen it together and he really liked it. It blew my mind.
My thoughts turned to what was going on the next day. We had a meeting with Skinner first thing in the morning. The kids were coming too so Skinner could meet them. We had just asked to see him, he didn't know about any of the other stuff.
The kids. I was already talking about them like they were my own kids. But I thought of them as mine.
I'll never forget what Mulder told me when we were driving back from Emily's funeral.
If she's here then there must be others.
I hadn't found any others and I really don't care to be out searching for them. If I found them by fate, that's one thing. But I'm sure that they all have homes, families.
I fell asleep wishing that Mulder was here with me.


Next Day
7:00 am.
Leia POV.

"Rise and shine sleepy head." Those are not my favorite words to wake up to. If my step dad was still alive you could ask him. He woke me up with that once and he found a VERY crabby Leia to deal with. I ignored the voice. It was summer. Early for me in the summer is 1:00 PM.
"Leia get up! We have to go into work with Dad and Dana today." Luke. I had forgotten about the fact that Dad was taking us in to meet he and Dana's boss.
"Luke, you could have just turned on my Hanson CD. Even they aren't as annoying as ‘rise and shine sleepy head.'" I mumbled into the pillow.
"Leia, get up. Would it wake you up more if I told you that Zac Hanson is outside?"
I shot out of bed. Despite the fact that they've been around for a while I still KINDA like the Hanson brothers. And Zac is pretty cute.
I heard Dad laughing at me from the doorway.
"Morning Leia. Sleep well?"
"After you two shut up I did. Now what's for breakfast?"
"Get dressed and then we're gonna pick up Scully and get something to eat. And Leia, we're gonna be going straight to my boss's office at the FBI so try and look serious. Like maybe a church like skirt and a nice top." He instructed me. Then I saw that Luke had on slacks (ironed no less) and a business top. On his feet were shoes that I'm sure that Dad had in his closest and they fit Luke.
"Well, if you'll leave me in privacy.."
"Oh sure. Come on Luke. I'll teach you how to cheat at cards." With a smile on their faces they left.
I pulled out my mid thigh silk black skirt and a black silk blouse. My hair I brushed and since it's naturally curly I just pulled it back with a couple of black clips. I pulled on a pair of nude hose and my black pump hells. Since my skin is naturally very even and pretty I skipped the make-up, just taking enough time to curl my thick eyelashes.
As I walked out into the living room (a.k.a Dad's bedroom) I saw Luke and Dad sitting side by side on the couch. They were playing poker. I guess they heard my heels and turned around.
"You like black a lot don't you? Scully wears a lot of black."
"It's my favorite color."
"You look great in it."
"Well, shall we get going?" I asked.
With that we were out the door and in Dad's car.


Same time.
Scully's house.
Scully POV.

Figuring out what to wear to tell Skinner was easy.
Somehow I knew that Mulder would be wearing his tee shirt. So I wore mine. Normally I just wear it to sleep in, but today it seemed right to wear to the office.
And since it was Saturday, I could wear jeans. Somehow I knew that Mulder was in jeans too. He probable had the twins dressed up though.
I wore the jeans.
I heard a knock at my door. They were gonna pick me up for breakfast and then we were all gonna go to Skinner's and tell him together.
I wished that we'd invited him to our wedding. My mom would have liked to see him. And I would have liked to have him there.
Don't tell anyone, but I think that my mother has a crush on Skinner. Ewww gross.
I opened the door to see Mulder and the twins standing there. Just as I thought, he was wearing his shirt and the twins were dressed up.
"Scully.." He said and gave me a long kiss.
"Well, you guys ready?" I asked.
"Yep. Let's go." Was all Luke said.
We ended up at a diner near headquarters where Mulder and I sometimes eat. I got a cup of yogurt. Leia got a fruit bowl. Luke and Mulder both got eggs and bacon with toast.
"Men. Always thinking about your stomachs. Never about you figure." Leia teased them.
"Women. Always thinking about you figure and never you stomach." Luke teased us back.
"And don't you forget it either Luke." I said in a mock stern voice.
He mocked me. Then our food came. Leia avoided looking at Luke and Mulder's plates. I had a feeling that she was hungry but was avoiding food since she ate a lot last night. Man, being a model must suck in that way.
When we all finished we payed and headed over to headquarters. This was gonna be interesting.



Skinner's offices.
9:05 am.
Skinner POV.
Oh boy did I need any aspirin right about now. My niece and nephew had dragged me to the new Star Wars movie for the third time last night. And Mulder had never done his report on the latest case that he and Scully had been on.
So when I got to work that Saturday morning the last thing that I needed was to have to call him in and rem him out. I sat down planning to write a memo to drop in their mailboxes.
I found a note on my desk when I got in my office. Since the FBI is my life, all of my agents know that they can meet with me on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sir, agents Mulder and Scully have a meeting with you at 9:10 this morning.
Oh great. Now what? And where were those aspirins that I keep in my desk? Oh here they are...
Mulder and Scully! Oh great. After I had seen them with their tongues down each other's throats things between the two of them and I haven't exactly been all that great.
They were here right at 9:10. Both were wearing jeans and matching tee shirts. Hmm, their Mr. and Mrs. Spooky shirts. I'd seen Mulder in his and I knew Scully had one.
"Agents, please have a seat." They sat. Scully always in the left and Mulder in the right. Some things never change.
"Sir, the reason that we've asked to see you is that we need to tell you something." Scully started.
"Something big." Mulder.
"Sir, Agent Mulder and I are married." Scully blurted out.
"Married?"
"Yes sir. As of 6:30 PM yesterday afternoon." Agent Mulder said.
"Well, I think that I'd better check the office pool and see who is collecting for this week." I said. Even though I'd won the only for first kiss seen by another Agent, the marriage pool was up to about six thousand. My money had been on a month and two weeks from today.
"And congratulations. I was wondering what the heck took you so long to figure it out." I finished.
"Sir? Are we going to be separated?" Agent Scully asked.
"Nope. I'm not planning on telling anyone. Well, never mind. There's no rule that states that partners can't be involved. Just keep it out of the work place."
"There's more sir."
"I am all ears agents."
"When I was 24, I was living with my girlfriend. Then I left and went across England to Oxford. About a month ago I found out that I have two children. Twins. A boy and a girl. They are 14. Their names are..."
"Luke and Leia?" I guessed, teasing Mulder. But by the way that their jaws dropped off I guess that I guessed right.
"Ah, yeah. They are right outside. Would you like to meet them?" Mulder asked me. I nodded.
He got up and went to the door. He opened it and nodded. Then he turned and came back to sit down. Behind him was a boy. He had the same dark brown hair and hazel eyes as his father.
"Sir, I'd like you to meet my daughter Leia and my son Luke." They each stuck out their hand and I shook it.
"Hello Mr. Skinner." Leia said. She looked vaguely familiar.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked her.
"Well, no but I am a model." That's when it hit me. My niece Gillian had had an issues of ‘Teen' with her. That must have been where I'd seen her before. I remember looking at the cover after David, my nephew, said how hot the cover model was. The boy also looked vaguely familiar to me.
"Have we met?" I asked him.
"No but I do act." Then I knew where I'd seen him before.
"Were you on a recent ‘Ally McBeal?" I asked him. He nodded.
"Well, you guys, are you living with your father?" I asked them.
"We have a court date tomorrow to figure out the custody deal. Then we'll know." Luke said.
"Well, you guys, you've got a great step mom. That's all that I'm gonna tell you." I said giving Scully (we're gonna have to stop calling her that) a smile.
"Thank you sir." Scully said.
"Well, we've got to get going. Thank you Sir, and by the way it's Agent Parker from VCS who has his money on this week. We checked Thursday." Mulder told me and guided his family out the door. As I watched them go I was hit over the head with an extreme sense of jealousy. Hmm.

Later that day.
Mulder's apartment.
Leia POV.

"Leia, I'll trade you Boardwalk for all four railroads." Scully told me.
"You throw in Pennsylvania Avenue and you've got yourself a deal." She groaned but handed them over. The four of us had headed back to Dad's to play some games. We'd played Life,(Luke won,) Scrabble, (Scully) Clue (Dad) and now we're in the middle of Monopoly. I was killing everyone. Dad had gone bankrupted but Scully bailed him out. I had Boardwalk, two of the greens, both utilities, and all of the reds and yellows.
Just then the phone rang.
"I got it. Just keep playing." Dad said. We barley looked up.
After a few minutes he walked back in.
"Who was it sweetie?" Scully asked him.
"The judge. He is giving us full custody of the kids." Dad told us. We all jumped up and hugged one another.
"Why Daddy?" I asked.
"Because I haven't seen you guys in 14 years and so for the next four years I get you two." Dad explained to us.
"But there are some strings attached."
"What?" We asked in unison.
"Well, you're mother gets you guys on certain holidays and for two weeks in the summer. Plus you guys still have to finish out your contracts, but from the DC branch."
"Oh, that's okay." We said.
"Scully, is it okay if we call you Mum?" I asked a couple of minutes later.
"Yep."

And it was on that day that they became a family. Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully-Mulder, Fox Mulder and Luke and Leia Mulder, Dana Scully-Mulder and Luke and Leia Mulder, and the four of them together.




Well, should I have just left it under my bed in shippervile?

DBTL, really hoping that she doesn't have to stay in shippervile forever....
