It was their much needed day off together and Mulder just wanted to relax with his wife, partner, and best friend… Dana Scully. He thought that's what that day would be like, just pure relaxation. Scully had made lunch at their apartment, a Turkey and Cheese Sandwich and a Garden Salad for her. It was silent except for the noise of them chewing. Then, interrupting the silence the phone rang. Scully waddled with her pregnant belly over towards the loud ring and answered the phone.

"Hello?" She asked the other line.

"Hi, Dana?" The voice from the other line spoke.

"Hi, Michelle. How are you?" Scully's sister-in-law, Michelle, who was married to her little brother Charlie had called.

"Not so great Dana. My mother just had a stroke."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is she doing alright now?" She glanced over at Mulder he was just about down with his Sandwich.

"Well, I don't know. The hospital down in Michigan hasn't called. But the reason I'm calling you is to ask a favor."

"Anything, sweetie."

"Would you be able to watch the kids while me and Charlie went to Michigan for the weekend? They won't be any trouble; I promise. I know you're nine months but I really need this. There's no one else I could ask." Scully once again glanced at Mulder. He was sitting quietly looking at her with his hands behind his head.

"No problem." Yes, there was a problem. Scully knew the problem but couldn't deny her sister-in-law after what had happened to her mother. The problem was Mulder. She had promised him a relaxing day. How is the day to be relaxing if there's a five year old and a two year old running around? She should have asked him.

"Thank, you. Thank, you! I love you! Can you pick them up here around four?"

"Of course, Michelle. I love you too. Bye, now."

"What was that all about-"But before Scully could answer Mulder's question the phone rang again. She weakly smiled and answered the phone once again.

"Hello… Oh okay. What time? 3:30? Can I pick it up a little later or Is that when you put it back on the shelf? Oh… yeah we'll be there?"

"Okay now who was that?" Mulder asked as Scully walked over to him.

"Mulder, I'm sorry." He looked at her puzzled. "I know today was supposed to be just us relaxing. But we need to pick up Charlie and Michelle's kids at 4:00 and get to the mall at 3:30. I also have that hair appointment at 5:00 but that shouldn't be long; it'll probably be only 30 minutes. And I can't drive right now Mulder. So… like I said I'm really sorry." And then the phone rang again. Mulder decided to get up and answer it.

"Hello? Yes, this is her husband. Mmm yeah, but is that really necessary. Alright, I'll tell her." Still holding the phone in his hands in case it rang again, Mulder walked over to Scully, who was now propped up against a pillow. "You're hair appointment has been moved to 1." He groaned and rolled his eyes just as the phone sounded once again.

"I'll get it this time G-man." Scully took the phone. "Hello?" She said irritated. "Hi, Michelle… at 2? I'm sure it's alright. No, no there's no problem with Fox and I doing this for you. We're family and we love our nephew and niece." She rolled her eyes to Mulder. "Yeah. Love you too. Buh-bye."

"Another time change I suppose?" Mulder asked more irritably than when Scully had picked up the phone.

"Correct." Seeing Scully try to get up once and it being unsuccessful Mulder got up and reached his hand to the nine months pregnant woman in front of him. "Thank you. I'm going to go get ready." Scully glanced at her watched and saw that it was already 12. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and moved to their bedroom to get changed. He groaned as he sat back down on the couch. He wanted to be with his wife while she was expecting at any minute. This definitely is not what he had in mine. She was supposed to be resting. The doctor said that it wouldn't endanger the baby if she was active but that it would be better for her. Scully insisted on being active.

"Mulder… are you upset about all this?" Scully asked him grabbing his hand and putting it on her belly.

"No. I'm not mad at all, dear." He said irritably without a smile but then he formed one as soon as he felt the baby kick.

"I think you're mad" She teased. He wasn't in a joking mood he just rolled his eyes and sped up to make the light. "Slow down, pregnant woman on board!" She demanded while grabbing onto the door with her well manicured hands.
---
"I guess it's nice. I don't know." Mulder was still irritated; he glanced at the digital clock on the car.

"Oh I guess we have to pick up Amanda and Michael, now." He rolled his eyes and drove off to his brother-in-law's house. Scully rolled her eyes and continued to stare out the window as they drove.

"Yeah… and Mulder, the baby is already hooked on these things and he's not even born yet. William is definitely your child." She laughed as she cracked sunflower seeds in her mouth.

---
Michelle with tear stained cheeks and Charlie behind her, walked down to where Mulder's car was to give them her children for the weekend. "Thanks you two. You know I wouldn't ask you this favor unless we really needed it. Anyway, how's the little boy?" She quickly switched the subject and gestured towards Scully's belly.

"Kicking like crazy!" Scully added, laughing as she took a hand full of sunflower seeds. She looked over at Mulder but he was just staring blindly out the window. Charlie and Michelle both laughed as they turned to their two kids.

"Now you two be good for Auntie Dana and Uncle Fox, okay?" Michelle told her kids and gave them a hug and kiss; Charlie soon followed after he had put both car seats in the car. "Bye, sweeties!" Michelle told her children after they were safely fastened in.

"Hi Auntie Dana! Hi Uncle Fox!" Amanda cheered as they pulled away.

"Hello, sweetie." Scully turned around and said. Mulder plainly said hello. "And hello Michael!" She reached out to the two year old who was sucking on his stuffed elephant. "Uncle Fox is mad at me." She pouted while telling her niece.

"Uncle Fox… why are you mad at Auntie Dana."

"I'm not mad at her."

"Don't you love her anymore?" Mulder stopped at a red light and turned around to face Amanda.

"Mandy, I love your aunt very much! I'm not mad at her." She smiled widely and turned to Mulder who turned to face her.

"Kiss her before the light turns green then!" Amanda cheered. Mulder and Scully both laughed. She was taken by surprise once Mulder grabbed her face to his so he could do as Amanda had asked him to. "Good. Auntie Dana, I don't think Uncle Fox is mad at you anymore."

"That's good. Mulder! Where are you going? We're supposed to be in this lane. We're going to the mall remember?" Mulder groaned and swerved into the other lane. "Baby, I know your upset about this whole thing but you forgot you turn signal! We have children in this car!" Scully tried to keep her cool but the hormones from her pregnancy didn't help with that.; she yelled her last sentence.

"Well, Scully, sweetie… since there are kids in the car I suggest you don't yell." He spoke softer with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"William…" Scully gasped clutching her stomach.

"What? Is it time?"

"No, he's just kicking really hard. Ow! I don't think our little boy likes us fighting." Mulder smiled and put his hand on Scully's stomach.

"I don't either. But why are we going to the mall again?"

"Our high chair came in."

"Oh. So I guess we have to go today…" He said under his breath, not wanting Scully to hear but she did.

"Actually yeah, we have to go today."

"Uncle Fox… when's little William gonna be bornded?" (A/n: LOL… I had to have her say born like that.) Michelle piped up as Mulder found a parking spot.

"He's already born." Mulder joked as he unbuckled his seat belt.

"What? Where is he?"

"I'm only joking sweetie." Mulder said as he opened her door to get her out of the car seat. "He can be born at anytime. " He picked her up, as Scully went over to Michael.

"Alright, Mikey. Time to go." She unfastened his seat belt.

"Elemfa come too?" Michael asked holding up his elephant before Scully picked him up.(A/n: Interesting way to pronounce elephant I know.

"Ofcourse, Michael." She picked him up and shut the car door.

"Scully. You shouldn't be carrying him." Mulder let go of Amanda's hand and went to his wife where he took their nephew out of her arms and into his.

"I forgot, Mulder. Sorry." He held Michael with one arm, Scully's waist with the other, while she was holding Amanda's hand. They looked like a perfect family, and older sister, a baby brother, a father, and a pregnant Mother.

Mulder grew a little bit more irritated. All he wanted was a day with just his wife. He was upset… but because he knew that she was doing a nice thing for her brother he didn't show it. One time he made one little comment and she cried. Whichever emotion Scully would show, upset or angry, he knew he didn't want to see it. Scully however did not need to hear him say another remark. She knew just by looking at him that he was irritated. When you work with someone for this long you begin to realize how they're feeling by just looking at them. Amanda wanted to go look at the toys. She pleaded with Mulder; he let her. Keeping silent, Mulder followed Amanda into the store, still holding Michael, and the high chair in Scully's place. After the toy store which they spent about 10 minutes in they went to the food court to get some food.

---
When they came home, Mulder put down Michael and the high chair and rested on the couch. Scully went towards the recliner where she collapsed and closed her eyes. They were soon opened when Mulder came up to her and tried giving her kisses. She pushed him away and told him that Amanda and Michael both didn't need to see that. Being frustrated, he returned to where he was before, on the couch. Amanda was sitting on the far end of the couch away from Mulder, with Michael who was sucking on his toy elephant's ear. Scully's eyes were shut and she was rubbing her temples.

"Auntie Dana? Can I watch this movie?" Scully opened her eyes and saw Amanda standing in front of her waving "The Little Mermaid" in the air.

"Sure sweetie." With great difficulty, she got up from the chair and placed the VHS into the VCR and started the movie. Looking over at Mulder, who was staring to the side at the ground, she saw the hurt and disapointness in his green eyes. She decided to take Michael into the guest bedroom to go to sleep but then she remembered that she couldn't."Mulder… can you take Michael to the guest bedroom. He's falling asleep." She asked him but hated to bother him. He didn't say anything he just picked up the half asleep boy who still clutched his plush toy and walked up the stairs into the bedroom where he would be able to sleep.

"I placed the baby monitor in there so we could hear him." Mulder told Scully and returned to the couch while the opening song to "The Little Mermaid" was playing in the background. He was silent as he sat there for the next two minutes until Scully couldn't stand it any longer. She loathed seeing him like that, quiet and upset. She got up, once again with great difficult and made her way to Mulder where she sat next to him and threw her arms around his neck and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Sorry." She pouted.

"Don't be. I'm sorry." He kissed her again. This time when his lips touched hers she didn't pull back; she only smiled.

"I love you." She told him as she rested her head on his shoulder. His hand landed right on her belly and then her hand landed on his. The both smiled as they felt William squirm around.

"I love you too… and our little miracle baby." They kissed again, and sat there in each other's arms as Amanda laid sprawled out on the floor with a pillow and blanket watching the movie.

Somewhere around an hour later something happened. It was around six. It was dark and the movie was turned off. Scully had gotten up to check on Michael about fifteen minutes ago and returned to Mulder. Amanda was sleeping on the love seat a few feet away from where Mulder and Scully were. Scully had felt something; something she was told about. She knew exactly what was happening because she was a doctor and also because her doctor had told her this could happen at any time; her water had broke. She gasped and shook Mulder up.

"Mulder…Mulder!" she whispered as loud as she could without waking up Amanda. He opened his eyes and smiled as Scully. "Mulder, it's time!" she told him as he got up and rushed to the phone.

"Who should I call for the kids?"

"Ellen. Call Ellen. Explain to her and then wake up Amanda and tell her what going on." (A/n: Ellen is Scully's friend. She was in an episode in the first season… I think it was Jersey Devil) Then she felt her first contraction she groaned as it passed. "And… call the neighbors ask them to have their daughter come over and keep an eye on them until… until Ellen comes."

With in minutes, Katharine, her 17-year-old neighbor was over to watch the two, and Mulder and Scully were on their way to the hospital to have the baby they never thought they could have.
