A LOVE TRIANGLE IN THE PAST
Written by: Erin M. Blair <eblair@sonic.net>
--------------------------------------

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Dana Scully 
asked, as she saw her mother standing in the 
doorway. She was carrying a small, black photograph 
album which looked well-worn and faded with time. 
She looked curious at the album, and wondered what
photos it contained. "What's this?" She led her 
mother inside her apartment with curiousity. 

"I've found it in the attic," Margaret said, as she 
handed her daughter the album. "It belonged to 
your father, and I think that you should have it..." 

"Why?"

"I think that you know, but you were named after 
your paternal grandmother, Daina Katherina Scully." She 
paused. "We picked the name 'Dana' to modernized
'Daina'."

"I had never heard of the name "Daina" before... Is
it some kind of variant?"

"Yes, it's a variant of Dana and Danielle."

"What did she do?"

"Your father told me that she was an OSS agent. There 
are some pictures of her in the photo album," Margaret 
said, with a sigh. "Anyway, I'd love to stay..."

"You're leaving? So soon?"

Margaret nodded. "I wanted you to see this for 
yourself. It's very interesting. I'm going to 
take care of your cousin, Cynthia, today."

Scully led her mother to the door, and she gave
her mother a hug. "Thanks for stopping by."

"You're welcome..."

After her mother had left, Scully opened the 
photo album to look at the photographs. She
turned a few pictures when she saw a mirror
image of herself.

But it wasn't.

It was a photograph of her grandmother, Daina
Scully with someone who looked like Mulder. It
was shocking, but she wanted to find out the 
answers.

She dialed Mulder's number, and she heard a low
tired mumble, "Mulder."

"Mulder, it's me. I received something rather
interesting. It concerns both of us."

"I'm tired, Scully. Can this wait? I had a very
exhausting day."

"It can't wait, Mulder."

"I'll be right there," Mulder said, tired. He was
very intriqued at what Scully had found. Quickly,
he got on his clothes on, and headed over to her
apartment in Georgetown. 

He rang the doorbell, and he saw Scully dressed
in a silky, pale blue nightshirt. "Scully, what's
wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, Mulder. My mother brought me my
father's photo album of his relatives, and there's
something very familiar on these two pages," She
said, as she was showing him the album.

"She looks so much like you---"

"I know. He looks so much like you... This woman's my
paternal grandmother, Daina Katherina Scully. She died
a month before I was born, and I was named after her. 
According to my mother, she was an OSS agent."  

"British FBI..." Mulder murmured, as he was looking
at the photographs. "She looks like you, Scully."

"She does," Scully said, with a sigh. "She died a
month before I was born." She noticed Mulder's 
thoughtful expression on his face, and she knew 
that he was thinking about what she was saying. 
"There's no proof that I'm her." 

"Was 'Scully' her maiden name?"

"No, she was my grandmother. Not my great-aunt. She 
married Charles William Scully. My brother, Charles,
was named after him." She paused, as she remember a
tragic tale of her grandmother's life. She frowned 
as Mulder gazed intently at her. "However..."

"Yeah?"

"She was in love with someone, but was killed. I 
think that it was him," Scully said, as she fingered
the photo. She looked into Mulder's hazel eyes. "Do
you suppose that we...are...them? Or that you met
my grandmother, Daina?" 

"No wonder she didn't correct me when I said 
'Scully' and she seemed to trust me. Scully,
she might have thought that I was her lost love."

"I know, but I heard that he was killed in a 
plane crash...but..."

"He escaped," Mulder said, simply. "Look how 
many times that I escaped from death. Now
that you've told me about your grandparents. My
grandfather was an OSS agent too. William Fox 
Mulder. I was named after him... Sort of."

"How convient," Scully murmured. "You never
told me that..." 

"It's umm...a traditional family name."

"Not that, Mulder. Something tells me
that fate is telling us something..."

"Oh?"

"That we're meant to be," Scully said,
as she smiled at him. She pulled him
close to her, and she was ready for
everything. "Do you remember what you
said to me at the hospital how you
love me?"

Mulder nodded.

"I love you too, Mulder. I've always
loved you ever since we first met,"
Scully said, still smiling.

"I had no idea you felt the same
for me. I was so scared of losing 
you. Remember those regressions
in Apison?"

Scully nodded. "What about them?"

"I lied. I saw different things, Scully.
I was scared what you'd do if I
told them to you. You were Daina. I
was my own grandfather. We're 
meant to be..."

The heat was starting light a
blaze of passion between them. Their
lips became closer and closer until
they couldn't deny the passion any 
longer. Scully felt Mulder's warm 
mouth on hers, and they kissed 
long and hard. It was a kiss with
all the passion that they both 
saved for themselves. 

Their kisses became longer and more 
passionate as the time lingered on.
They couldn't resist the tempting 
pull of their love. 

Mulder looked at Scully, as
he broke off the kiss. "Are
you sure?"

"I'm sure as I'll ever be. I 
want you. I want you now. Forever."

"I want you, Scully. I had always
wanted you," Mulder said, as he started
to unbutton Scully's icy blue nightshirt.
When it was off, he fingered her creamy,
satin smoothed breasts. They felt cool
from being exposed to the air. In a low tone
of voice, he murmured. "So beautiful."

He could feel warm against her naked 
body as Scully undressed him. All of
this had made him frustrated that he 
wanted to come before she did. "Scully,
I can't hold it much longer... I have
to come."

"All right," she murmured. "Make love
to me."

With intense passion, he released his 
erection and inseminated her... 

After their passionate encounter, Mulder
couldn't believe that they had finally 
revealed their feeling towards each other.
"I'd never thought that we would do this."

"I'm sure that we would have sooner or 
later," Scully said, with a sigh. "It
was just a matter of who would make the
first move."

"I was wondering the same thing. Of course,
I think that Daina Scully gave us a push."

"I bet she's smiling at us."

"You could be right," Mulder said, as he
remembered her reaction as he kissed her. "I'm
glad that you didn't slug me..."

"I still could," Scully said, with a laugh.
"You know that I love you anyway even if I 
did slug you." 

"I'm sure you could," Mulder said, with
a grin. 

Dana Scully's Apartment
Georgetown, MD
Three Months Later

"I can't be pregnant. There's no way that I 
could be. I'd been tested after my cancer and after 
my abduction..." Dana Scully said to herself, as she
looking at the positive results of the early 
pregnancy test. She had missed her monthly 
menestration cycle when she bought the test to
prove that it was just the stomach flu.

She was wrong. 

It was positive. 

She looked at again and again, thinking that the
results may change. It hadn't. It's still positive.
"Face it, Dana, you're expecting Mulder's baby." She
paused. "How do I even begin to explain this?" 

She decided to tell Mulder the news, and called him.
"Mulder, it's me."

"I know."

"There's something that I have to tell you..."

"Scully, what's wrong?" Mulder asked, curious.

"Nothing's wrong. I can't tell you on the phone. 
Come to my apartment... Ok?"

"All right, Scully..."

An hour later, Mulder arrived to see Scully using
his key to her apartment. "Scully? *Dana*? Where 
are you?" He looked through her kitchen, her living
room, and finally, her bedroom where he saw her on
her bed under the covers, reading a book. 

Scully looked up at him, and she sighed. "Mulder,
I've got something to tell you... I can't believe
it myself..."

"Believe what?" Mulder inquired. "Scully, just come
right out and say it."

Scully nodded. "I'm pregnant, Mulder. I don't know
how..."

"We made love. You know, bees do it. Birds do it--"

"I know that, Mulder," Scully interrupted him, with
a smile. "You don't have to tell *me* how it's done.
I thought that I couldn't have children. I've been
tested, and the doctors told me that I could never
conceive."

"I know. I remember what the Kurt Crawford clones had
told me. Any theories?"

"I have a couple of theories..."

"Like what?"

"Considering that I've only been taken once, they could
have easily taken ova from one ovary," Scully said, with
a pause. "That's the most logical theory that I have at
the moment."

"That would explain why you're pregnant with my child 
now," Mulder said, as he fingered Scully's stomach. "We're
going to have a baby. Who would have thought?"

"I know," Scully said, with a smile. "When I found out
that I pregnant, I was in shock. I thought that I couldn't
have children but now I am." 

"I know how you feel, Scully. I thought what the clones
told me was true, but we forgot something..."

Scully arched her eyebrows in curiousity, not in disbelief.
"What?"

"We forgot that not everything's true or what's crack up
to be."

"You mean like, "trust no one", Mulder."

"Yes, but it's more like "trust no one except each 
other." That's what I had in mind." He paused, as he
gazed at Scully's blue eyes. "Thank you..."

"For what?"

"For telling me that we're going to be parents. I
think that we should make it official."

"Official?" Scully inquired. 

"Scully?"

"Yeah?"

"Marry me." He paused. "I'm not kidding. I'm serious."

Scully smiled at him, and she gave a little laugh. "I
didn't think that you were joking. Yes, Mulder."

"Is that your answer?"

"Yes, Mulder. I'll be your wife."

He smiled as he placed the diamond engagement 
ring on Scully's ring finger. "You don't know
how happy that I am." 

"I think that I already know," Scully said, 
as she looked at her new engagement 
ring which sparkled in the light. "This is...so 
beautiful. I love how the diamond is set."  

"I take it that you love it. When I saw it, I
thought that it reminded me so much of you. So
strong. So classy."

"Thank you," Scully said, touched. "Sometimes,
I wonder if you thought me of a being a strong
woman." She paused. "I thought I acted like a
weakling at times."

"No, you're not a weakling, Scully, you're such
a brave woman. Strong. Determined. I had never 
thought of you as a weak woman." He paused. "You're
a strong woman."

"Coming from you, it means so much for me to 
hear you say that."

"I know. Scully, we're going to have a new 
triangle soon."

"What do you mean?"

"You, me, and our baby."

"I know."

Dana and Fox Mulder's Residence
Georgetown, MD
Six Months Later 
Monday, 7:00 p.m.

"Scully?" Mulder inquired, as he walked into
their newborn daughter's nursery. "How's our
baby?

Scully looked up from seeing Kristine, and 
she smiled at her husband. "She's fine." She
touched their daughter's auburn hair lovingly,
and she couldn't believe how blessed they were.
"After I changed her diaper, she decided that
she was tired. She's sleeping."

"Don't worry, Scully. I'm sure that she's going
to wake us up after we've gone to bed. That's how
it has been since we've took her home from the 
hospital. I'm sure that Kristine will be
just like her parents when she grows up."

"I'm sure she will."

End of Story.


Author's Note: I had watched "Triangle"
and enjoyed the ep. In this story, I
tried to give some background on who
the 1939 Scully lookalike is...which
leads into something very interesting.
I've tried my hand at a little sex scene
much more vividly than I had in the 
past. After the sex scene, it does
drift off into some alternate universe.
