   The sun was beginning to shine.   
      
   Mulder pulled back the curtains to see the sunrise. He could not believe that   
   he stayed here all night working on the backlog of case reports that needed   
   to be written.   
      
   He'd promised Scully that he would help her prepare for the Memorial Day   
   holiday at her mother's house. He was going to barbecue hot dogs. Scully   
   bought three packages of them, that way, she gets to have her preferred   
   brand: Nathan's Hotdogs. They tried other brands before until this one became   
   THE BRAND FROM HEAVEN!   
      
   Scully walked in. "Mulder, did you stay here all night?" She paused while she   
   sat down on her chair. "Do you know what today is?"   
      
   Mulder nodded. "Yes, you've told me about it several times. I volunteered for   
   barbecue duty, remember."   
      
   "Memorial Day."   
      
   "First, we have to go to Arlington to visit your Dad's and Bill's graves. I   
   know you would like to put flowers on their graves there," Mulder said. He   
   stood up and walked toward Scully to fold her into his arms. "I know how much   
   they meant the world to you."   
      
   "I know," Scully murmured wistfully. "Do you want to visit your family's   
   graves? I know you weren't on speaking terms with your parents. After we   
   found out about Samantha..."   
      
   "Scully, thanks for the suggestion. Even though you're not my wife, I   
   consider you as my family."   
      
   "Are you finished writing the reports?"   
      
   Mulder nodded. "All done." He turned towards his desk and grabbed the case   
   reports off his desk. "We'll take these off to Skinner and then I'll take you   
   for breakfast. You didn't eat, did you?"   
      
   "Nope. I only had a bagel because I knew you'd be here. I had the same   
   thought about a decent breakfast as you did."   
      
   Mulder placed his hand on Scully's lower back. "Let's get out of here,   
   Scully."
