"You never call me that," She said, smiling. She turned to him and he took her hands in his. "You mean -- so much to me. And--and I'm happiest when I'm with you," He stuttered a little, finding it very difficult to really tell her how much she meant to him. But she was standing right here before him. "So am I," Scully agreed with a little less than a nod and a completely hard to miss grin. He meant the world to her. She was completely oblivious as to what he was really trying to say until - he got down on one knee and looked up at her with endless affection in his eyes. She nearly toppled over at the sight. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you," He voiced, "Marry me?" He ended his meaningful declaration with. He held her steady at the waist as her mouth hung open in shock. She didn't know what to say to him. He had never mentioned marriage to her before but she knew she wanted to marry him just the same. She knew and her heart knew. "Are you sure?" She sputtered instead and he smiled a little, "I mean we could always forget this conversation ever happened," She offered in disbelief. Was he really asking her to marry him? She had to be sure she wasn't imagining this moment. She was damn sure she wasn't. "Well I am on one knee, aren't I?" He deadpanned and she smiled in return. After a brief moment, "Yes," She answered his floating question. He was on one knee after all. He just stared up at her for a second until she said yes again. He released one of her hands for a moment to pick in his pocket. He produced a beautifully cut diamond ring and slid it onto her left ring finger with ease. She never once glanced at the ring instead she gazed only at him. He caught her eyes and she caught his as they gaped at one another in wanton. He rose to his feet, taking her in his arms and kissing her. Their tongues probed each other's mouths slowly. Her feet hardly making contact with the ground as he slightly lifted her in a kissing hug. She deepened their kiss, her hand in his hair. She was so happy that she wanted to cry and she did a little before murmuring her love for him in his ear. The End --------------------------- A few sweet words... just because.
