Chapter 1
Agent Scully chewed haphazardly on the inside of her mouth.
"Mulder... I don't buy it."
"What's there to buy, Scully? She says she got pregnant by the ghost of her deceased husband." Fox grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets. "She's definitely pregnant."
Dana Scully drew a long breath, followed by an exasperated sigh.
"Sure, Fox, she's pregnant. But it's not by any dead lover! All that's happened here is she has slept with another man, and she's feeling guilty about it."
He twitched his mouth slightly upwards.
"I know some experts in the field."
Momentarily, Scully hesitated, before mentally chastising herself for entertaining Fox's ridiculousness.
"Of course you do. When don't you? Fine, Mulder. We'll go see your gaggle of sweaty ghost experts. But next time, I get to choose the weekend activity, and it sure as hell isn't going to be hanging out with a bunch of nerdy guys in a basement."
As Fox opened the door, he threw a glance back at Scully.
"How politically incorrect of you, Agent Scully. I'll have you know that they're women."
Scully stood up to follow, somehow seeming to ooze sarcasm from every pore on her body.
"Women, Mulder? I didn't think you knew any."
