Disclaimer: I don't own 'em. I also don't own "Goodnight Moon". Wonderful book. (One of my favorites!)

AN: I was only able to put this together from what I remember from when I was younger, so if I got the words wrong, I am incredibly sorry! Somebody correct me if I'm wrong! (And I'm pretty sure I am)

Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Scully

"Goodnight mush."

"Goodnight spoon."

"Goodnight moon."

"Goodnight Daddy."

"Goodnight Mommy."

"Goodnight Baby William."

Together Dana Scully and Fox Mulder finished up their 10 month old son's bedtime routine. They kissed his forehead, cuddled and cooed at him for a bit, and then laid him down in his crib. The lights were turned off and the UFO nightlight was emitting a faint glow in the corner of the room. As William eyes slowly drifted shut, Mulder and Scully smiled at each other. Quietly, they closed the door and headed out to the living room. There, Mulder plopped down on the couch and pulled Scully into his lap.

"Hey Scully, how many times have we performed that bedtime ritual? I mean, we have it memorized now and it's been ten months. If there are an average of 30 days in each month, and ten months, that's 30 times 10 and."

"Mulder, nobody likes a math geek." She shifted so that she was sitting between his legs, leaning back against his chest. She closed her eyes and pulled his arms around her. Content, she sighed. "Mulder, lets just stay like this for tonight."

Mulder shifted slightly and said, "Sounds good to me. You do realize that he'll be up in an hour because he didn't eat much." Scully was almost asleep and chose to ignore that last comment. A few minutes later she remembered that she had asked Mulder to pick up some things from the grocery store on his way home. When she asked him about it, he groaned. "I'm sorry Scully. I forgot."

"It's ok Mulder. I'll go run out to the store and get it right now." She moved to get up, but Mulder pulled her back.

"The store will be there tomorrow morning."

"I know, but if I don't get this stuff now, I'll forget. I'll only be gone for ten minutes tops," she said as she kissed him on the cheek before getting up. This time he didn't grab her back, but instead pouted. "Oh Mulder, don't pull that face on me now. I'll be back." She bent down and kissed him soundly on the lips. "Promise."
