This road trip feels like a rift in space and time. It is a deliberate attempt on Scully's part to ease Mulder back into life, to give him time to read through the year's cases, and to read her of course, like the good profiler that he is.
In a sense I think it also reconciles us as viewers with the trauma of season eight. It places it all in the appropriate context--namely, firmly in a flashback--and begins with the work of reconciling both us and the characters to what happened. If you see what I mean.
Sex seems even more unlikely than sharing a bed which is funny, considering the evidence of their sexual history is sitting in the carseat or sleeping in the portacrib, right in front of them.

Good point. Very amusing.
