   Author's notes: Wrote this for you Kate, Sorry it took a year to    
   write it but I didn't have any good ideas. Well I did now. ENJOY!   
      
   It's been two months since John first started helping me. I enjoyed    
   his hands on me, making the pain go away. That first time he would    
   come over every night and ease the pain. Each morning I'd find him in    
   the kitchen with breakfast on the table. It was nice having him here.    
   Last month he was out on a case while I was stuck doing paper work,    
   so he wasn't able to help out. He did call and make sure I was ok.   
      
   Since then we've been seeing each other. I never thought I'd be    
   getting into a relationship with a man over my period. Most men don't    
   find that out until like six months or more into it. This has turned    
   out to be the best relationship ever.   
      
   Today we have a meeting in Skinner's office with some higher up    
   people. I had woken up late. I feel so rushed. As I run to my car and    
   head to work I realize I didn't take anything for my cramps. Granted    
   they are mild, but they will get worse later. I hope I have something    
   in my desk at work.   
      
   As I walk down the halls I see Kim, Skinner's assistant. "Agent    
   Reyes, You better get to Skinner's office ASAP. The meeting has    
   already begun." She tells me. "Thanks Kim." I hurry down the hall and    
   to his office. I hope he wont be to upset with me. I'm just glad I    
   had the report in my briefcase. As I walk into the room everyone is    
   looking at me. I walk over and sit down in the chair and pull out the    
   report.   
      
   "Glad you could FINALY join us Agent Reyes." Skinner says and I    
   glance up at him. "I'm sorry." I'll fill him in with the rest later.   
      
   About an hour later my cramps start to get really bad. I close my    
   eyes as I rub my belly. I wish I was able to get to the office this    
   morning. I sigh and look up at Skinner. "Will you excuse me for a    
   moment?" I ask but I don't wait for an answer. I stand up and hurry    
   out of the office. I walk slowly down the hall. My hand resting on my    
   belly.   
      
   "MONICA, WAIT!" I hear John call out for me. I turn and look at him.    
   He's walking to me. "Are you ok?" He asks when he gets to me.   
      
   "I'll be fine once I get some Midol." I know he gets it because he    
   nods his head. The next thing I know he's right up against me with    
   his hand on my belly rubbing it. I lean against the wall and him and    
   sigh with some relief. "Are you sure you should be doing that here    
   John?"   
      
   "Your in pain, I don't like you being in pain."   
      
   I smile at him. "That's good to know, but I've gone years with this..    
   I think I can still deal with it… not that I don't like you helping    
   me out. I do. Just.. Not in the hallway at work."   
      
   He doesn't say anything to me. He keeps rubbing my belly for a    
   moment. I have my eyes closed, with a smile on my face. It's then I    
   hear a voice I'm not familiar with. "Well, well, well, Look who's    
   pregnant now. Must be something with that basement office." I glance    
   up and see a few people walking by. Who said it is beyond me. I look    
   at John and he's looking around too. I've noticed he's stopped    
   rubbing my belly. That must have done the trick.   
      
   John has that vein popping out the side of his neck. I can tell he's    
   getting upset about what was said. "Who the hell said that?" He steps    
   away from me and is looking at everyone that passes us.   
      
   "John!" I try to get his attention before he makes a big scene. He    
   looks at me. "NO! I want to know who said it. I'm gonna kick their    
   ass!"   
      
   It's then Agent Mulder walks around the corner and is laughing. "Calm    
   down Agent Doggett, I said it."   
      
   "So it's your ass I'm gonna have to kick?"   
      
   "I was kidding John, honest."   
      
   I just look at both of them. What else am I supposed to do?   
      
   "Fine, Just because it's you.. I'll let it slide this time."   
      
   "Good." John walks back over to me.   
      
   Mulder follows close behind and stands next to us. "So…when are you    
   due?" He makes another joke about it.   
      
   John looks at me and then takes a swing at him. Mulder's quick and    
   was probably expecting it and ducked just in time to miss.   
      
   "AGENTS?" I hear Skinner's voice and turn to look. He's walking our    
   way and all of a sudden I feel like I'm in high school again. Some    
   how the phase, `It wasn't me.' wants to come out of my mouth.   
      
   "What is going on out here?" He looks at both Mulder and John. I keep    
   my mouth shut.   
      
   "We're sorry sir. I said something and it struck a nerve with him."    
   Mulder jumps in to cover for us.   
      
   "Well, don't let it happen again. Now, you two.. Back to the meeting.    
   And Agent Mulder, I'll see you soon. We're almost done."   
      
   I look at him. "Sir, I need to go to the office for something. I'll    
   only be a minute. I promise." I really need the Midol if I'm going to    
   be able to function later.   
      
   "Alright, but make it quick."   
      
   I nod and with out looking at either John or Mulder I head for the    
   office. I walk over to my desk and open the drawer and I see the    
   Advil bottle. I must have left the Midol at home. I glance up at the    
   clock as I pull the bottle out and take four pills out. I open the    
   bottled water that's sitting there. John must have been here this    
   morning, the water is cold. I put the pills in my mouth and take a    
   sip of water. I close the water up and leave the office. I make a    
   stop at the rest room and change. I feel better once I have freshened    
   up.   
      
   I finish up in here and then head back to Skinner's office. I walk in    
   and over to my seat. I see John's not here. I glance over at Skinner    
   and he's looking at me. "He went looking for you." He tells me. I sit    
   there for a few minutes and John hasn't returned. "Excuse me." I say    
   and stand up. As I walk out of the office I hear Skinner    
   saying, "This all seems so familiar some how."   
      
   I see Mulder looking at me as I walk out of the office. "Did you see    
   which way John went?" I ask him and he shrugs his shoulders. I nod    
   and walk down towards our office. He had to have known I was going    
   that way. I check the office and then the bathrooms down there and    
   yet I see nothing. I take the stairs back up because it was taking so    
   long for the elevator.   
      
   I return back to Skinner's and this time John's there. It's been    
   about twenty minutes since I was last down at our office. I sit down    
   and open up the report. I wonder how much longer this will be. I    
   listen to others give their opinion on the reports.   
      
   I glance at my watch and it's been about 45 minutes since I returned    
   to my seat since I've went looking for John. I yawn and I feel really    
   tired. I close my eyes for a moment and rub my eyes. I can barely    
   raise my hand up to do it. I hear A.D. Skinner say the meeting is    
   over. Thank god! I slide my chair back and stand up on wobbly legs    
   and pause a moment while I balance myself. I look at John, who is    
   waiting for me. I gather my things and walk out of the office. I feel
