Chapter One:
Dana Scully's Parents House
Friday 4:00 P.M.
"Oh Dana, honey, it's so wonderful to see you, I'm so happy you're able to make it this weekend. We got some family coming into town tomorrow afternoon," Mrs. Scully explained with excitement.
She kissed her daughters cheeks and hugged her then eyed Mulder who was standing there off to the side like a gentleman. Mrs. Scully smiled seeing him standing there looking tall and happy but a bit nervous as well. His hands were tucked in his jeans while he stared at them.
"Oh Fox, how are you?" Mrs. Scully asked.
Mrs. Scully then walked over to him. Mulder bent over and wrapped his long arms around Mrs. Scully's small frame engulfing her into one of his friendly hugs.
"Hi Mrs. Scully, I'm good. Thank you for inviting me," he thanked her.
Mulder looked over at Scully who smiled big with her arms crossed over her chest, now seeing her brother Bill walking out the front door.
"BILL!" Dana screamed excitedly and leaped into her brother's arms, "I didn't expect you to be here already."
"Yeah, I came early once I heard my favorite little sister was in town. I just had to be here to greet her, but looks like mom got out here before me, I was busy watching the game and lost track of time," Bill explained, kissing her sisters left cheek.
The two pulled apart and Bill looked over to Mulder seeing him standing there beside their mother, talking to her.
"Agent Mulder?" Bill asked.
Bill walked up to him with his right hand out for a hand shake. Mulder than grasped Bill's hand and shook it, greeting him back.
"Erm, nice to see you, I hope you have a great time here..." Bill trailed off, trying to sound nice but had attitude.
Mulder nodded staying quiet while the two let go of hands. Mulder then glanced over to Scully who looked down turning a bit red. The girls then walked off and Bill slapped his left hand onto Mulder's chest, hard and stopped him to prevent him from continuing to enter into his family home.
"Uh ah, Mulder, we're going to have a little talk first before you set foot in my family's home," Bill snapped.
Mulder stared into his cold eyes, listening to him.
"Whatcha got for me, big brother?" Mulder asked with attitude.
"Don't try anything funny with me in that house and you stay away from my little sister," he warned Mulder and then walked off.
Mulder watched Bill enter the house as Scully came quickly over to Mulder now.
"What'd Bill just say to you?" Scully asked, curiously.
"Oh nothing… just catching up on good times," Mulder lied, "let's go inside shall we?"
Scully smiled and the two walked off together.
"Hey Spooky, you like your room?" Scully asked, entering Mulder's guest room.
Bill refused to let the two of them be in a room together, so Mrs. Scully had to tell the two that they weren't allowed together in a room so she could get Bill to stop bickering about the mess.
"It'd be better if you were in here with me. But I guess this will have to do," Mulder smirked.
Scully then smiled sadly and sighed.
"I knew this was going to happen… I'm sorry; you really didn't have to come this weekend… It's just going to be a bunch of family and drinking, nothing too exciting. My mom just wanted to see you that's all," Scully explained.
They held hands and faced one another near his bed
"But then I'd have nothing to do all weekend and you'd be bored all by yourself with your family and you'd be missing me..."
"You sure about that?" She teased, "I'm kidding."
"Better be," he smiled.
Mulder then glanced at the empty hall way through the door and saw the coast was clear, which gave him permission to do whatever he pleased. He then leaned in and glued his lips to hers, kissing her passionately. She rested her left hand on the back of his head, grasping the strands of his hair and the two deepened their kiss. While kissing him passionately and feeling their tongues dancing, she then heard footsteps coming up the stairs causing her to quickly pull away. The two then looked over and saw Bill passing down the hall followed after Mrs. Scully who then entered Mulder's bedroom, clasping her hands together with a big smile on her face.
"So how do you like your room Fox?" she asked.
"It's wonderful, thank you," Mulder smiled.
He held Scully's right hand, interlacing her fingers with his now and smiled proudly.
"You two are so cute together you know that. The family will love meeting you; I've told them so much about you. They really seem interested into finally getting to see who you really are," Mrs. Scully explained, "Dana sweetie how 'bout you come with me so we can go get a few things done for tomorrow, besides Bill would like to have another chat with Fox," she added.
Scully then turned a little red from anger about her brother wanting to have a chat with Mulder. She shared a quick kiss with Mulder and then left, passing by Bill who stood outside watching his mother and sister closely descend down the stairs and disappear off into the kitchen.
"You wanted to talk to me I hear?" Mulder asked.
Bill closed the door and then looked hard into Mulder's gentle eyes.
"Look, I know who you are. I don't approve of your relationship with my sister, but I try not to say anything only because mother approves of it. Just because you're an FBI agent and dating my sister doesn't mean anything," Bill started.
Mulder stood there looking bored from these small little threats Bill was trying to give to him. Mulder then raised his right eye brow when Bill continued.
"I'm the man of this house. Don't try anything funny or..."
"Or you'll do what?" Mulder asked, opening his mouth now, wishing he hadn't, "Why don't you just stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours. Scully and I have a relationship… get over it. You should be happy for her. She's an FBI Agent and she doesn't need your protection...besides, if you ask me I think you're kind of a coward anyways," Mulder explained.
With that all said, Mulder definitely wished he hadn't opened his mouth because once he opened it with his thoughts of opinions they kept going and never stopped until they've been said. He then watched Bill's face turn a dark shade of magenta. Bill clasped his hands onto Mulder and grasped his black tee shirt and Mulder then went flying hard against the wall, knocking a picture frame off.
"You take that back, Mulder," Bill demanded.
"Why? You're getting worked up over this now because you know it's true and you don't want to admit it," Mulder responded.
Bill flew him hard up against the other side of the bedroom now and then again, shoving him hard into another wall.
"You do realize all you're doing to me is hurting my back, which I can have Scully massage later on," Mulder teased and then smiled.
Bill got even angrier after that last comment and screamed, only this time ended up walking off but with surprise, he whipped around and nailed Mulder right in the face with his right fist.
Footsteps were soon heard afterwards and the door flew open by the girls. Bill stormed out of the bedroom while Scully rushed to aid Mulder who was sitting on the floor with his hands to his nose that shed blood from the surprise punch.
"Oh dear," Margaret spoke up.
She then walked off quickly to go talk to her son.
Later that Evening:
"Bill, you can't always protect me like this. I get that you're my big brother, but I'm an FBI Agent, so is my boyfriend..." Scully trailed off seeing Bill cringe to the word boyfriend; Scully rolled her eyes and continued, "Oh grow up Bill. I feel like I'm the mature one here. Mulder is my boyfriend whether you like it or not," she snapped, "get over it."
"But he almost got you killed..."
"I trust him with my life!" Scully screamed, "And I am madly in love with him so help me god..."
Bill stayed quiet, staring at his little sister.
"He got Melissa killed..."
"It wasn't his fault, Bill," Scully snarled, "I don't care if you hate him and don't like him, or get along with him, but it'd be nice if you at least give our relationship some respect. I've been dating Mulder for the past year, living with him half the time we've been dating now and I've been working with him for six years to!"
Bill pursed his dry lips together, angry with his little sister and still not approving of her relationship with him.
"He's going to get you killed, he nearly already got you killed, and you think I'm going to tolerate him..."
"You will tolerate him and you will respect him," Scully said in a deep cold tone, staring hard at her brother, furious at him.
Bill looked away from Scully and then she left the bedroom, slamming the door on the way out.
Bill despised to be anywhere near Mulder, let alone respect him. Bill stood there, hands in fists and angry as ever can be. He loved his little sister, but she will never make him do anything and he will make sure those two will not ever be together again.
