"Dana? I'm here," Margaret Scully called out as she entered into her daughter's home. The older woman stood around 5'5" tall with brown hair and brown eyes. Another woman walked over to the entryway and smiled.
"Hey Mom. Thanks for coming over," Dana Scully smiled. Scully was in her early 40s, stood around 5'4", had shoulder length red hair, and blue eyes. Maggie smiled at her daughter and hugged her tightly.
"It's no problem Dana. It's so nice of Fox to take William to a baseball game. It gives time for you and Storm to bond," Maggie smiled. Scully smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, and Mulder took William early to look at museums. I can't believe he's almost done with Kindergarten already," Scully beamed proudly. Maggie nodded in agreement.
"Well let's go see Storm, let her know you're here, and see what she wants for lunch," Scully grinned as she left the entryway. Maggie smiled and followed after her daughter.
"Hey sweetheart," Scully spoke softly as she entered the living room. Storm looked up at her mother and mumbled before she looked back at the TV. Storm was around 2 ½ years old, had brown hair, green eyes, and a dusting of freckles across her nose.
"Hi Stormy," Maggie smiled at her granddaughter. Storm mumbled but kept watching TV. Scully sat down on the couch and pulled her daughter onto her lap.
"Mama, kitty," Storm mumbled as she pointed at the TV. Scully smiled and loved on her daughter.
"Stormy, I'm making grilled cheese for lunch. You like grilled cheese right?" Scully asked happily. Storm nodded and looked up at her mother.
"Do you want grapes with your cheese?" Scully asked as she loved on her child. Storm nodded and started to play with her mother's necklace. Scully smiled proudly as she watched her child.
"Sweetheart do you want to help Mama or do you want to watch your movie?" Scully asked as her daughter played.
"Movie," Storm mumbled as she looked up at her mother. Scully smiled, kissed her daughter once more and set her back on the couch. The toddler watched her mother as she gave her, her fox and left the room. Storm hugged her fox close to her and turned her attention back to the movie.
When lunch was done, Scully returned to the living room to collect her daughter. Storm was sitting next to her toy box while watching the TV. Maggie walked up behind Scully and smiled.
"She really likes "The Aristocats" doesn't she," Maggie mentioned. Scully smiled and picked up her child. Storm whined at her mother.
"This is the first time she's seen it. Mulder found it at the store the other day. We're letting Storm watch it by herself first, then we're going to show William as well," Scully explained. Storm cried unhappily and pushed on her mother's face.
"Knock it off. We can finish the movie after lunch," Scully said firmly as she removed her daughter's hands from her face. Storm pouted and wiggled unhappily.
"Can I hold you Stormy?" Maggie asked happily. Storm shook her head and wrapped her arms around her mother. Scully gave her mother a small smile and kissed her daughter.
Scully snuggled on her child and walked back to the kitchen with her daughter. Storm whined and pulled on her mother's shirt. The woman smiled at Storm and kissed her.
"Here Storm," Scully spoke softly as she set her daughter at the kitchen table. The toddler giggled happily and grabbed at her grapes. Maggie smiled at her granddaughter and sat next to her.
"Nana yummy!" Storm became excited. Maggie looked up her daughter and watched her. Scully was beaming proudly over her daughter. The toddler happily started eating.
After lunch, Maggie was holding her granddaughter as Scully made her a bottle. Storm was hugging her fox close to her as Maggie sat on the couch, holding, and cuddling on the toddler.
"Nana, kitty movie," Storm mumbled as she pointed at the TV. Maggie smiled and kissed on Storm happily. The toddler giggled and looked up at her grandmother.
"Your Mama wants to watch the movie with you Storm. Is that okay?" Maggie asked softly. Storm nodded and rubbed her eyes. The older woman smiled and kissed on the toddler again.
"Stormy, look what I have," Scully said happily as she walked into the living room. Storm saw her bottle and started to whine and reach for her mother.
"Aww come here sweetheart," Scully spoke softly as she took her daughter from her mother. Storm grabbed at the bottle and whined. Scully went over to the sofa chair, and settled down on it.
"Mama," Storm whined as Scully laid back, and set her footrest up. The woman turned so she was on her side and her daughter was cuddled up next to her.
"Here you go Storm," Scully smiled as she placed the bottle into her daughter's mouth. The toddler mumbled happily and started to suck on the bottle. The woman smiled and brushed her daughter's hair out of her eyes.
Maggie smiled at the girls and started the cartoon back up. Storm made happy noises and pointed back at the TV. Scully smiled and cuddled her child. Storm yawned and grabbed onto her mother's shirt.
"Aww she's so attached to you Dana," Maggie smiled. Scully smiled at her mother and rubbed her daughter's back. Storm mumbled and kept sucking on her bottle. Soon the toddler was fast asleep.
"You're doing a great job raising her Dana," Maggie smiled. Scully watched her child as she slept.
"Thanks Mom. I wish she got along with William better. She's very attached to Mulder and myself though," Scully yawned. Maggie nodded and pulled out her book. Scully snuggled on her child, and soon fell asleep herself.
Scully woke up a couple hours later to her child mumbling and playing with her stuffed fox. Scully smiled and looked around for her mother. When Scully didn't see her, she collected her child, and went to the bathroom.
"Mama," Storm cried unhappily as Scully set her down. The woman shushed her child and went to use the toilet. The toddler pouted and sat herself down on the floor. After Scully was done in the bathroom, she picked up her child and went looking for her mother.
"Mom?" Scully called out. Storm whined and pulled on her mother's shirt. Scully shushed her child.
"Hey how was your nap?" Maggie asked as she approached her daughter. Storm saw her grandmother, whined, and reached out for her.
"Hey sweetheart," Maggie spoke softly. Storm mumbled happily and hugged onto her grandmother. Scully smiled.
"So Dana, I cleaned your dishes, folded your laundry, and cleaned up your daughter's toys a bit," Maggie smiled. Scully chuckled.
"You didn't have to do all my housework Mom," Scully explained. Maggie kissed on her granddaughter and looked at Scully.
"You need a break Dana. I'm happy to help. Plus you cuddled up right next to your baby, and fell fast asleep. If you ever need a break you can call me, okay?" Maggie explained. Scully nodded.
"I know. Thanks Mom," Scully smiled. Storm looked up at her grandmother and mumbled happily again. Maggie snuggled on her granddaughter.
"Stormy, do you want to watch another movie?" Scully asked. Storm nodded and laid on her grandmother.
"Mama, Nemo," Storm mumbled. Scully tried to take her daughter from her mother. Storm shook her head and laid on her grandmother.
"Do you want to watch "Finding Nemo"?" Scully asked. Storm nodded and turned towards her grandmother.
"Dana, do you have a new diaper for her? She is wet," Maggie looked at her daughter. Scully nodded and went off to find the diaper bag.
"Nana, Nemo!" Storm started to fuss. Maggie shushed her granddaughter and went off to find Scully.
"Aww are you fussy?" Scully asked as she took Storm from Maggie. Storm pouted and grabbed onto her mother. The woman kissed her daughter and took her off to get changed.
After the movie, Scully was trying to make dinner while Storm clung to her pant leg. The woman looked down at the toddler and smiled. Storm was mumbling away.
"Sweetheart, do you want mashed potatoes with your chicken?" Scully asked happily. Storm nodded and kept mumbling. The woman smiled and went back to cooking.
"Mmm, something smells good Dana," Maggie smiled as she walked into the kitchen. Scully grinned.
"Thanks, its lemon chicken with mashed potatoes. Can you get Stormy settled down in her seat please?" Scully asked. Maggie nodded and picked up the toddler.
"No Mama," Storm whined as she pointed back at her mother. Maggie shushed the toddler and took her over to her booster seat.
"Storm, do you want milk with dinner?" Maggie asked. Storm nodded and looked for her mother. The woman smiled and went to the fridge.
"Here you go Storm," Maggie smiled as she handed her granddaughter her milk. Storm grabbed onto the sippy cup and started drinking.
"Here you go Stormy," Scully spoke softly as she gave her daughter food. Storm giggled and smiled up at her mother. The woman smiled down at her daughter.
"So when are Fox and William coming home?" Maggie asked as she started to eat her dinner. Storm whined when she heard her father's name.
"Um, I'm thinking around midnight," Scully smiled as she took a bite of food. Maggie nodded.
"Will you be fine after I leave Dana?" Maggie replied. Scully smiled.
"Yeah. I gotta give Storm a bath, then I have to shower, after that it's bedtime," Scully explained. The toddler gave a small whine when she heard the word bath. Scully gave her child a look.
"Thank you for coming over though Mom," Scully smiled. Maggie nodded and continued to eat her dinner.
A couple hours later, Scully was running the bath for her child. Storm whined and laid on her mother. Scully ignored her daughter and kept running the bath.
"Mama. You too," Storm whined. Scully shushed her child and kissed her. The toddler pulled on her mother's shirt. Scully looked down at her child and undressed her.
"Stormy you need a bath, then it's night night," Scully explained. Storm hugged onto her mother. The older woman smiled, and set her child in the bath.
"Mama no," Storm cried. Scully shushed her child and started to clean her. The toddler whined and splashed at her mother unhappily. The woman ignored her toddler and kept bathing her.
Twenty minutes later, Scully picked her child up out of the bath and wrapped her in a towel. Storm yawned and grabbed onto her mother. The older woman dried her child as she walked back to her daughter's room.
The woman set her child on the bed, and went to the dresser and picked out some pajamas for her. Storm looked up at her mother and reached for her.
"Stormy, Mama has to take a shower, then it's night night," Scully explained. Storm mumbled as her mother dressed her.
"I want Daddy," Storm cried unhappily. Scully stopped and watched her child. Storm was rubbing her eyes.
"Daddy will be here when you wake up tomorrow, okay?" Scully asked softly. Storm nodded and reached for her mother. The older woman smiled.
"Can you play until Mama is done showering sweetheart?" Scully asked hopefully. Storm pouted but nodded. The woman loved on her child before she left the room.
"Mama," Storm mumbled sadly as her mother left her. When the toddler realized her mother wasn't returning, she climbed off the bed, and wandered into her brother's room.
When Storm went into the room, she wandered over to the bed and picked up her brother's stuffed dog and hid it under the bed. After a short while the toddler went back to her bedroom, sat in front of her bookcase.
"Hi sweetheart. Ready for night night?" Scully spoke softly as she entered the room about twenty minutes later. Storm looked up at her mother and held up a book.
"Mama egg book," Storm mumbled hopefully. Scully smiled, picked her daughter up, and collected her stuffed fox. Storm whined and pressed the book against her mother.
"Calm down. I'll read you "Green Eggs and Ham" when we get to Mama's bed, okay?" Scully explained to her child. Storm nodded and hugged onto her mother.
When Scully got to her bedroom, she set her child on the bed, and got herself dressed for bed. The toddler looked up at her mother and whined. The older woman smiled and climbed into bed.
"Daddy," Storm mumbled as she looked around the room. Scully smiled, got her child to cuddle up to her, and started to read. After about ten minutes Storm was fast asleep. Scully smiled, and soon fell asleep herself.
A few hours later Scully was slowly awoken by her husband. Mulder was grinning happily at his wife. The older woman saw her husband and smiled.
"Hey hun. How was the game," Scully asked softly. Mulder smiled and started to change into his pajamas.
"It was good. I put William to bed," Mulder smiled. Suddenly the couple were interrupted by their son crying. Scully gave her husband a confused look.
"I'll be right back," Mulder spoke softly as he kissed his wife. The man finished pulling on his pants as he left the room. Scully checked on her daughter and followed her husband.
"Hey buddy, what's wrong?" Mulder asked as he entered his son's room. Scully quietly stepped in behind her husband. The woman smiled up at her husband and rubbed his back slightly.
"I want my doggy!" William cried a bit more. Scully smiled at her son. William had a stuffed dog he was deeply attached to, the way Storm was deeply attached to her stuffed fox.
"William, you left him here when you went with your Dad right?" Scully asked happily. William nodded and rubbed his eyes. The woman sat with her son, while her husband looked for the dog.
"Hey I found it. Will you go to bed now buddy?" Mulder asked as he pulled himself out from under the bed, before he handed his son his stuffed dog. William nodded and laid back down. Scully loved on her son before she and her husband returned to their bedroom.
As the couple climbed back into bed, they accidentally woke their daughter. Storm cried unhappily and rubbed her eyes.
"Aww go back to sleep baby. I'm right here," Scully spoke softly as she laid back down next to her child. Storm quickly cuddled back up to her mother and fell right back asleep.
