Summary: the title is all you get for this one ;-)


His heart was pounding in his chest. His stomach was doing flips. His palms were hot and clammy. He was as nervous as hell. But then, he would be. After all this time. After all this waiting. It was finally happening. They were finally taking that step from friends to lovers. This would change everything. Yet, he went to her without hesitation.

She was nervous too. As he slipped off her bra, her pale cheeks turned a rosy pink. She looked slightly vulnerable. Uncomfortable? Unsure? She wasn't having second thoughts, was she? He could not continue unless he was certain that she wanted this too.

"Are you okay?", he spoke barely above a whisper.

She smiled. Leaning forward, she kissed him. She loved devouring that delicious bottom lip of his. "I'm fine", she finally mumbled onto them.

He nodded, and moved to kiss her breast. His mouth found her nipple, and it hardened against his lips. It fascinated him. Was this really happening? It was too good to be true.

He finished undressing her, and quickly stepped out of his jeans and boxers. He slipped off his T-shirt. She was sprawled out, naked, on his bed. His eyes widened. "You're so beautiful", he said as he slowly climbed on top of her delicate body. He kissed her stomach, and she shivered. Her hands teased the tiny brown hairs on the back of his neck.

She brought her lips to his ear, and kissed it. "I love you", she whispered onto it. He stopped, and looked at her. That was the first time she had ever said it. "I love you too. I'm sorry that I don't say it enough."

"That's okay." She kissed his lips again. "Words aren't everything." She still felt a little strange though. He had been her best friend for years. And now here she was, naked, about to make love to him. Was it a mistake? She looked deep into his eyes. No, it couldn't be. They wouldn't be here if it was.

"Are you ready?", he asked and then wished he didn't. It sounded so childish.

"I think so, yeah."

Her eyes closed tight. She bit her lip, as she felt him pushing against her. She gasped at a sharp pain and then...

"Shit!" He darted off her, and almost fell off the bed.

She felt sick. She sat up, crossed her legs, and covered her breasts with her hands. "What? What is it? What's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear that?" He already had his jeans on and was throwing her dress to her.

She slipped it on, without putting on her underwear first. He kicked her underwear under the bed, and slipped his T-shirt on.

"Hear what?"

....."William? Are you home? William?"

"That!"

She panicked, and went to stand up. "No, sit down. Just act like we've been watching a movie." He pressed play on the VCR and sat next to his girlfriend, slumping his arm around her casually.

There was a knock on his door. "William?"

"Yeah? Come in, mom."

His mother walked in and smiled. "I thought you weren't going to be home for another two hours."

"It finished earlier than we expected." She glanced at the girl sitting next to her son. "Hi, Laura."

The girl smiled, sweetly. "Hi, Mrs Mulder."

"Yo, son. What you up to?" Mulder walked into the room and stared at the two kids sitting on the bed. He smiled, widely. "Oh! Hey there, Laura."

Another sweet smile from the girl. "Hi, Mr Mulder."

"Hey, dad. We were just watching a movie."

"Really?" Mulder looked at Scully and raised his eyebrows. Scully wondered why.

"Are you two hungry?"

"Yeah, mom. We're starving."

"Well, dinner will be ready in about an hour."

"Okay, great!"

Scully left the room. Mulder stood staring at his son for a moment. William shuffled uncomfortably. "Well, you two enjoy the rest of the movie, okay?"

"Sure dad."

He closed the door behind him, and headed to the kitchen to help his wife with dinner. Scully was already chopping vegetables. He crept up behind her, and slipped his arms around her waist. "You do realize what we have just done, don't you?"

She shot him a confused look. "No. What have we just done?"

He laughed, and she turned to face him. "We, my dear, have just stopped our son from getting laid."

"What?" She snorted a laugh. "Mulder, that's ridiculous."

They only called each other 'Mulder' and 'scully' when they were alone. It would be too weird for people if they called each other that in public. Besides, Scully wasn't even Scully anymore. But they liked that it was their own, private thing. And they didn't think they'd ever get used to calling each other 'Fox' and 'Dana'.

"Why is that so ridiculous, Scully?"

"Because they're just friends. They have known each other since they were five-years-old for crying out loud. They're best friends."

"So?" He pulled her close to him. "We were *just* friends at one point, remember Scully?"

"Mulder, William wouldn't dare have sex under my roof." She turned back to the vegetables.

"What?! They were about to have sex. Maybe they were just friends, but they're getting older now..."

"William wouldn't have sex in this house."

"Where is he supposed to do it then? In an alleyway?"

She gave him 'a look'. "They were watching a movie."

"The movie had only just begun. And the bra under the bed was a bit of a giveaway."

"The what?"

"And you have just give them an hour. They're probably at it right now."

"Not while we're only downstairs? Surely?"

"Boys will be boys, Scully. He's a healthy teenage boy, whose girlfriend has obliged to have sex. He is going to have it anywhere he can."

"Not William. Not while we're only downstairs. He's not like that. Wouldn't you be angry?"

"No. I remember what it's like to be a teenage boy. Any chance you can get. All hormonal teenagers are the same."

"Mul..."

They both looked up at the ceiling in horror. Scully knew it was about time William had a new bed. And William's bedroom would have to be directly above the kitchen, wouldn't it?

"Well, I'm not having that!"

"Scully?" He ran after his wife. "Scully? What are you doing?"

She stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "I am not having our son having sex while his parents are only downstairs. It's rude, inconsiderate, and disrespectful...William? William? Get down here now."

"Scully, just leave him."

"Mulder, have you given him a talk yet?"

"A talk? Scully, you don't need to give kids a 'talk' these days. William probably knows more than we do."

"They think they know more than they do, Mulder...William?...If I have to go up there I will...right that's it."

Mulder ran up the stairs after his wife. "Scully, you're not going to walk in on our son? You'll be just as embarrassed as he is. Think about this. Scully..." He sighed. There is no use talking to her when she is like this.

He closed his eyes and held his breath, as Scully walked into William's room without knocking. "William? What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Oh my God. Mulder fell to the floor. He felt embarrassed for his son. He tried to picture how he would have felt if his mother had of walked in on him. He felt sick.

"No wonder you're bed is broken..."

He felt really sick.

"What have I told you about jumping on it like this?"

Huh? Mulder stood up, and slowly made his way to his son's room.

"And pillow fights, William? Remember what happened when you were younger? You nearly lost an eye. And look at the state of this place... look at it. Feathers everyhwhere. Tidy it up now."

Mulder walked in, and had to fight a laugh. Laura and his son were standing on William's bed, a pillow in each hand, and a look of horror on their faces. And Scully wasn't lying. Feathers were *everywhere*.

"Do as your mother tells you, William. Laura, I think you better go and wait in the car. I'll drive you home."

"Bye, William." She pushed past Mulder and Scully and went downstairs. William gently climbed off his bed, and began tidying up. Mulder and Scully went outside and closed the door. The moment they did so, they both burst into fits of giggles.

"Any chance you can get, Mulder? All teenage boys are the same, Mulder?"

"Well, I guess just because I was a sex-crazed, hormonal monster when I was a kid, that doesn't mean are son has to be."

He smiled, and went to walk down the stairs. His wife stopped him.

"Mulder, you were a sex-crazed, hormonal monster?"

He smiled proudly. "Yep, I certainly was."

Scully playfully slapped her husband's butt. Mulder's eyes widened.

"Well Mulder, I guess some things never change.......

The End.
