This is the second. It doesn't relate to the first. Enjoy, and please tell me whatcha think! K@tie From: Katie at DKScully@juno.com Category:MSR Date:March 29 1997 Summary:Mulder brings Scully home from the hospital once they had stopped her treatment. ( Takes place right after Momento Mori ) Disclaimer:Mulder and Scully don't belong to me, their legal owners are CC, 1013, and FOX. Author's Note: This is the second story in a little Selena series that I'm doing. There's only four stories in all. The first was Dreaming Of You. You don't have to read any of the other stories to understand this one. None of them are continuations of each other. I Could Fall In Love She was tired, and silent on the way to her apartment. Fox let her rest, just happy to be there sitting next to her. At the red light, he let himself look at her. Eyes closed, auburn hair a bit dull after the treatment that she went through. He couldn't remember when she looked more beautiful. The light turned again. He sighed, and continued driving. Dana opened her eyes as she felt the car stop. "Come on, sleepy head. Lets get you to bed." Fox said quietly. She smiled and nodded. As she opened the car door, he was suddenly at her side, and helping her up the stairs to the building. Usually, she would have protested, saying that she could do it by herself. This time though, she just let him help her becuase she was too drained to argue. She even let herself lean against him in the elevator, his arms around her waist. At her door, Mulder took out his key, and gently slid the door open. He helped her inside, and then into her bedroom. Placing her on the bed, he turned to find something for her to wear. "Top drawer." She said with a small yawn. He opened it, and was just about to pick out a respectable cotton nightie, but saw a green silk slip, and just couldn't help himself. "Mulder, no." She said once she saw his choice. They both smiled, and he turned and got the other nightie. He handed it to her and turned around. "Don't peek." She warned him. "What do you take me for Scully, some kind of pervert?" He joked. She smirked. He turned his head a fraction of an inch and, "Mulder." And then he turned it back grinning. A few minutes later, he heard "Ok, I'm done." He turned back around, and proceeded to tuck her in. He pulled the floral covers up to her neck, and rubbed her shoulders through the blanket to warm her up. She smiled at his touch, and was a bit disappointed when it left. "Goodnight Dana ." He whispered. "Fox." She said drowsily. "Wait. Could you sit with me for a while? Until I fall asleep?" "Of course." He said softly. "Could you put in one of my CD's? Soft music helps me fall asleep." "Sure," he said as he walked over to her CD player. He found a CD by Selena sitting right next to the player, and popped it in. Little did he know that the song set to play would do a lot more than help Dana get to sleep. He walked back, and sat on the edge of her bed. A soft melody breezed into the air, and he found himself captivated by it. I could lose my heart tonight. If you don't turn and walk away. Cause the way I feel I might, Lose control and let you stay. Cause I could take you in my arms, And never let go. I could fall in love with you. I could fall in love with you. He smiled. He had fallen in love with Dana long ago. She was his everything. Without her, he had nothing. I can only wonder how, Touching you would make me feel. But if I take that chance right now, Tommorow will you want me still? Should I keep this to myself, And never let you know? Dana frowned when she started listening to the words. This was exactly how she felt right now. It may be dangerous for her to tell him how she felt, and her conscience was wavering on whether or not to tell him. I could fall in love with you. I could fall in love with you. And I know it's not right so I guess I should try To do what I should do. But I could fall in love with you. I could fall in love with you. Should I keep this to myself, And never let you know? No, she couldn't keep this to herself any longer. As tired as she was, tonight she would let him know how much she loved him. She opened her eyes again as the song ended. Fox saw her eyes open, and moved closer to her. She sat up, and motioned for him to come to her. He moved to kneel beside her. "Fox, I have to tell you something. I'm not sure if it took my cancer for me to face this, but I love you." She said just above a whisper. "It scares me and-" She couldn't say another word because he had taken her into his embrace, and started crying again. "I love you too, Dana." He whispered into her hair. "Stay tonight." He nodded, and kissed her cheek. Kicking off his shoes, he climbed up and laid behind her. She turned on her side, and his arms squeezed around her waist. He buried his face in her hair, and soon they both peacefully drifted off to sleep. They had fallen in love tonight all over again. The End! How did y'all like this? I'd LOVE to know!
