Fox Mulder was a 6' tall man, with brown hair, green eyes, and a beard. The man was relaxing in a sofa chair in front of his TV. His wife Dana Scully was upstairs trying to take a bath.
Their four, almost five year old daughter was playing in front of the TV with a couple plastic horses. Mulder smiled down at his daughter. Storm had dark brown hair and green eyes like her father, but she had softer facial features and freckles like her mother.
Mulder switched the TV over to the news and yawned. Storm quickly looked up at her father and pouted. The man gave his child a look of surprise.
"Daddy my turn!" Storm told her father. Mulder smiled at the child. Storm was sitting there with her arms crossed.
"Stormy. You're playing with your toys. Plus you have to go to bed soon," Mulder explained. Storm shook her head and went back to her toys. Mulder laughed softly as he returned his attention to the news.
Thirty minutes later Scully walked down the stairs, wearing her pajamas. The woman had her hair wrapped up in a towel. Dana Scully was 5'4" tall, with long red hair, blue eyes, and a freckled face.
The woman walked into the living room and looked at her family. Mulder was focused on the TV while her daughter played with her plastic horses. Scully smiled at her child and walked over to her.
"Hi Mama," Storm mumbled as she kept playing. Scully smiled and sat on the floor next to her daughter. The woman brushed her daughter's dark hair out of her eyes. Storm looked up at her mother.
"Are you ready to start Kindergarten tomorrow sweetheart?" Scully asked softly. Storm stopped playing for a moment and thought about it. The child then shook her head and went back to playing with her horses.
Mulder looked down at his wife and shut off the TV. Storm noticed the TV was off, she looked up at her father.
"Daddy. It's my turn," Storm whined. Scully kissed on her child happily. Storm whined at her mother.
"Come on Storm. Let's get you a snack, then you need to take a bath before you go to bed tonight," Mulder explained as he got off the sofa chair. Storm shook her head and looked back down at her toy horses.
"Do you want strawberries or carrots Storm?" Scully asked softly. Strawberries were one of Storm's favorite foods, so she was hoping her daughter would make a choice, so she could get her ready for bed.
"Strawberries," Storm mumbled as she kept playing. Scully smiled and tried to pick her daughter up. Storm became upset and pushed her mother away.
Mulder sighed and knelt down next to his child. Storm looked up at her father and gave him a horse. The man took the horse from his daughter, then kissed on her happily.
"Daddy. Stop," Storm tried to say firmly. Mulder laughed and helped his daughter stand up. Storm quickly tried to pick up her other horse. The man, picked up his daughter's horse, and led her to the kitchen.
Scully had some strawberries out on a plate while she was pouring her daughter a small glass of milk. Storm mumbled as she sat in the chair at the table. Scully smiled and gave her daughter the snack.
While Storm ate her snack, Scully was leaning back against the countertop eating a few strawberries she left out for herself. Mulder approached his wife and kissed her happily. Scully looked up at her husband and returned his affections.
"When are you going to shave this ridiculous thing?" Scully chuckled as she played with her husband's beard. Mulder smiled at his wife and kissed on her again.
"I like it Scully," Mulder said as he snuggled on his wife. Scully smiled and kissed her husband.
"It's scratchy," Scully chuckled. Mulder grinned and started to his on his wife's neck. Scully groaned and pushed her husband off of her.
"Knock that off," Scully scolded softly. Mulder smiled and looked back at his daughter. Storm stuck off while he and his wife her focused on each other. The man groaned and went back out to the living room.
Storm was back out in front of the TV, trying to figure out how to use the remote. Mulder slowly snuck up behind his daughter and stood there for a few moments. Scully watched her family from the doorway.
"Storm!" Mulder said firmly. The child jumped and looked up at her father. Mulder picked up his daughter, carried her back to the kitchen, and set her back at the table.
"You need to finish your snack, then you need to take a bath, then it's bedtime," Mulder explained as he gently scolded his child. Storm nodded unhappily and ate the rest of her strawberries. Scully sat next to her daughter and kissed her.
"I don't want to go to school, Mama," Storm tried to tell her mother. Scully smiled at her daughter and brushed the hair out of her eyes again. Storm pouted as she drank her milk.
When Storm was done with her snack, Scully helped her daughter off the chair, and led her upstairs. As they arrived in the bathroom, Storm started to be whiney again. Scully scolded her daughter as she ran the bath.
Storm undressed unhappily and climbed into the bath. Scully helped her daughter wash herself. Storm wasn't making much of an effort like she normally did, and Scully noticed.
Scully gave her daughter a bath toy and started to wash her daughter's hair. Storm sat there unhappily as her mother washed her hair. When Scully was done, she helped her daughter out of the bath and dried her off.
Storm was obviously unhappy. Scully smiled and loved on her daughter as she dried her. Storm hugged onto her mother. The woman smiled and kissed her daughter. Scully picked the child up and walked back to her daughter's bedroom.
As the woman arrived in the bedroom, Storm yawned. Scully smiled and set her daughter down. Storm grabbed onto her mother as Scully got some pajamas and underwear out for her daughter.
The child put on her new clothes and climbed into her bed. Scully grabbed a book and went back over to her daughter. Storm had her stuffed fox, hugged close to her, as she laid in the bed. Scully covered her daughter with a blanket and sat next to the bed.
"Stormy. I'm going to read you a new book tonight. It's something my Dad, your Papa, used to read to me when I was your age. Storm nodded as she mother opened the book.
"Call me Ishmael," Scully started out as she read the first line of Moby-Dick. Storm watched her mother as she read to her. After finishing up the first chapter of the book, Scully looked down at her daughter.
"More Mama?" Storm asked hopefully as she watched her mother. Scully smiled and gently kissed on her daughter. Storm mumbled unhappily.
"I'll read the next chapter tomorrow. Okay sweetheart?" Scully asked. Storm nodded unhappily and hugged her fox. Scully kissed her daughter one more time before she got up and left the room.
Ten minutes later, Storm got out of her bed and walked into the hallway. When she heard her parents still downstairs, she walked to the stairs, and went downstairs.
Mulder and Scully were sitting on the couch, cuddled up with each other. Storm slowly entered the room and went over to her parents.
"Hey. What are you doing? You need to be in bed Storm," Scully scolded gently. Storm looked up at her parents sadly.
"I want my Daddy," Storm mumbled. Mulder looked over at his wife and sighed. The man got off the couch and picked his daughter up.
"Stormy, it's bedtime. I'm going to take you back to bed and you are going to stay there, do you understand?" Mulder said firmly. Storm nodded and wrapped her arms around her father's neck. Mulder kissed his daughter and went back upstairs.
When the two arrived in the bedroom, Mulder gently laid his daughter back in her bed. He gave her, her stuffed fox and covered her up with a blanket. The man gently kissed his daughter, and left the room.
Storm mumbled unhappily to herself. She didn't want to start school, she was perfectly fine, staying at home with her father. The child been to the orientations and met her teacher and classmates, but still wanted nothing to do with them. Soon, the child fell fast asleep.
