A Short Happy Ending Story 
by The Smirkster


He had forgot her birthday again.  She wasn’t mad, and she wasn’t depressed
or anything, she was just......disappointed.  She didn’t know why, but she
just was having a hard time thinking of Mulder as just a partner lately and
this was not helping anything.  Well to be fair, she did technically know
why, but she would never admit it to herself.  She’d buried her feelings so
far in the back of her mind that you’d need a spelunking team to find them.

Mulder had asked her to go directly to old "Evidence Archives" office,
which was the only other room on the basement level, meet him. He always
met her there when they had something confidential to talk about. The stuff
that he doesn’t want the Consortium to know about.  She thought glumly.  About a minute later Mulder opened the door a
walked in.  "Hey Scully, what’s the thing you’ve wanted the most for the
past 6 years?"

 Her heart screamed, but she decided to go with, "I don’t know, what?"

"Follow me."

He left the stuffy, old, cobweb-ridden, office and walked a short distance
down the hall to their door.  She followed, slowly behind. Once she reached
their door,  Mulder extended his hand and said, "Ladies first, after you."  

Not knowing exactly what to expect, she cautiously walked in. 

And her jaw practically hit the floor.
 
Because there, adjecent to Mulder’s desk, sat a new desk with a eligant
gold name plate, on which the words 'Special Agent Dana Scully MD' were
neatly printed.

Her mouth still ajar she walked behind the desk and sat down in her chair.
Trying to gain a little composure she said, "Mulder, I don’t know what to
say-"

"Wait, I’m not done yet." He said cutting her off.  "Check the drawer."

She opened the top drawer of her new desk and found a small tape recorder.
Taking it out, and placing it on the desk she hit play. A familiar voice
emitted from it.  "Hey Scully," of course the voice was Mulder’s.   "Well
you know as well as I that I can’t sing, and I’m not that good at
expressing my feelings so I figured I better leave it up to the experts."
Music started playing as a familliar group began to sing: 

"All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause.. 

I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do

In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Til my dying day
 
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do."

There was no dout about it, Scully was definetly crying now.  She opened
her mouth to speak, and was cut off again by Mulder.  "Hey.  If, in exactly
10 seconds, you tell me what the name of the song is, than you win the
grand prize." To happy to care, she nodded dumbly.  

He whipped out a small velvet box, which he opened to reveal a gorgess
ring. It had, ‘will you marry me’ on a piece of paper, taped to it.

"Well?" He said, impacently.

"I Do." She replied, sweeping him up in a big hug.  Then they looked deep
into each other’s eyes and shared that wonderful kiss that had so long been
denied them.

-And all the shippers cheered. I know it was sappy, but as soon as I heard
that 98 Degrees song "I Do" I knew I needed to use it in a fanfic piece.
