Duhn duhn Daaaaaaaaaaa! Here it is folks, the very end of my story. I'd like to thank my two loyal readers of this particular story. At least, they reviewed, so I assume they read it.
Epilogue- I Don't Know
Mulder knocked again on Scully's door. She opened it slowly. She looked tired and surprised to see him there. "Hi." She sounded just as she looked.
"Uh, can I come in?" Mulder said after about two minutes.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry."
He closed the door behind him as he stepped into the apartment. "Scully, are you all right?" He knew what her answer would be, but he had to ask.
After studying him for a moment, she looked at the floor. "I don't know."
Mulder was shocked. This was the first time, in all the time he had known her, that she had said something other than "I'm fine" in response to that question. This was really opening up for her. She had become unpredictable. Knowing that she would stop if he pressed her, he waited for her to speak.
"As soon as Ron fell…" She closed her eyes, trying to hide her tears. It did not work; they leaked out from behind her lids and streaked down her cheeks. "I saw these visions. They were of you, you being tortured that same way, whatever it was. And I knew you were going to die…and I would never get to tell you…"
Mulder's heart almost stopped. "Tell me what?" He said quietly.
Scully could not speak for a full minute. She sniffled a little and looked up at him. Crying as he had never known her to do, she said, "I love you."
Mulder's heart did stop. When it started again, it was pounding so hard, he thought it was about to leap out of his chest. He had never felt so light before. Scully looked down at the floor and cried.
"You have no idea how long I have waited to hear those words," he said. She met his eyes. A smile shone brilliantly through her tears. Mulder stared at her. He could barely breathe. "You are so beautiful."
Her smile widened. That was all the prompt he needed to sweep her up into his arms and kiss her.
End.
So, there it is. I hope you enjoyed it. Anyone who reads this, I encourage you- no, I plead you to check out my other stories. If you don't like them after the first few paragraphs, don't read them, but if you do… that's great!
Just as a warning, the wheel of time fic will probably confuse anyone who has not read the books. If you choose to read it, then prepare to be confused.
Please Review. Thanks!!
