Would You Ever Consider
Chapter 1: Seven Months Without
It was about seven months since Scully last saw Mulder, and every day it killed her more and more. A few moments ago her mom had left once Scully had returned from work. She had a tiring day at work, and Dogget and Reyes just asked her to help on a current case they were working on. She would be going into the office tomorrow to help. Although her day was pretty much lousy none of that mattered since she got to see her son when she came home. He was just a bundle of energy at seven months.
After hanging her mother left she collapsed on the couch with her son in her arms. He smiled as she began to bounce him up and down to sing with to him.
"William was a bullfrog
was a good friend of mine
Never understood a,"
William began giggling uncontrollably.
"You think mommy's singing is funny Will?" Scully tickled him. "You know your daddy loved this song. I miss him very much, and I know he misses you too," Scully grabbed the frame behind her. "That's me, you, and your Daddy when you were just a tiny little baby." William grabbed the frame into his hands, examining the picture of his mommy, daddy, and himself when he was only a few days old. Scully placed a kiss on his still bald head. "You look like him, a lot." And the truth was he did. William had both Mulder's brown hair and his nose. But William had inherited the most amazing eyes from his mommy. There was a knock on the door interrupting Scully's conversation with William. She got up, still holding the baby, expecting it to be Dogget or Reyes. But it also could've been her mother, being forgetful and forgetting her purse. Scully peeked through the hole where she would see who it was; she gasped in disbelief. Her throat began to tighten, her tongue began dry, and tears welted up in her eyes.
'You're kidding me," She whispered softly.
William kicked and made a baby squeal. The man outside had obviously heard since a wide smile escaped his lips. Luckily this squeal did bring Scully back to reality. She slowly turned the door knob and pulled it open just as slow. She stood there wide eyed, holding her son, looking into the hazel eyes of the man before her.
"Mulder," He breathed out, finally she breathed. "Why are you-" She moved to the playpen to put William down, letting Mulder in at the same time.
Just as he shut the door and locked it, she spun around on her heels and ran for his arms, pulling him into the tightest hug possible. Mulder placed a tender kiss on her right temple before pulling back with a smile.
"Dana," He delicately spoke in a soft tone.
"Mulder," She sobbed the tears now forcing their way to stream down her cheeks.
"Hey," He said concerned. "Are you okay?" He caressed her cheek and she caught his hand in hers, holding it.
"Am I okay? Mulder... I haven't seen you in seven months, seven hard months." He wiped away her tears. "I've missed you." He grabbed her face in his hands and forced his lips to hers in the passionate kiss that they had been yearning for. She deepened it by opening her mouth letting him inside. Her hands were making its way from his back to his hair, and Mulder hands were buried in her hair, running them through it. Finally after several moments the both needed air.
"I had to see you and William. I couldn't stand it anymore; I had to come home." Mulder was now crying, remember those past painful lonely months spent in the desert with Gibson Praise. Sure, he loved the kid, but he wanted to see the woman he loved and his kid that he loved.
"I'm pretty sure William wants his father to see him," Scully smiled pulling Mulder over with her hand in his to the playpen. Scully scooped the baby up into her arms and handed her to Mulder. The father and son instantly developed smiles from ear to ear.
"How's my little boy," Mulder asked bouncing his up and down. William giggled; he loved to be bounced. Mulder placed several noisy kisses on his cheeks and sat down, playing with his son.
"Mulder, I'm going to fix you a late dinner. After that I want to talk," Scully walked into the kitchen smiling the whole time, thinking that Mulder might actually be back for good.

Apparently William had fallen asleep while Mulder held him, so he placed him down in the crib before coming back to Scully.
She was at the stove and Mulder wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. Normally, her natural instincts would kick in, but she recognized the touch and just relaxed, loving his strong arms around her. She moaned at feeling his warm lips against her neck, kissing it and the sucking on it.
"Mulder," She moaned, spinning around, causing Mulder to stop, and leaving a dark red mark on her neck. "I want to know what's going on," Scully said distinctively, now being serious. "The food's still in the oven, now please, let's talk," Mulder lifted her weightless body up onto the counter and began explaining why he was there.
"Scully, you're hair is so much longer than I remember," typical Mulder beating around the bush when he didn't want to discuss the topic at hand. "It's beautiful."
"Mulder," Scully said plainly, but still blushed at such a compliment.
"Well, it's not safe yet, but I just needed to see you for a few days. I figured that long should have hurt at all. I leave on Friday promptly at four." He noticed how her face suddenly fell. "But I'm here for four days Scully, four days to spend with you and our son." She half smiled and jumped down off of the counter, wrapping his arms around his neck, and burying her face into his chest.
"I promised myself that once I had you back I'd never let you go. I promised myself that when you came back from the dead and when you left me and William. I don't know if I could break that promise again," She said weakly as he stroked her hair. Mulder was at a loss for words. He began to think that maybe coming back was just a mistake and that it caused Scully even more pain.
She pulled out the foil wrapped back potato from the oven as well as the foil wrapped steak. She dropped some steamed vegetables onto his plate and sat at the kitchen table with him, watching him eat his food.
"I guess I'm calling off work for four days," Scully finally smiled. "You know my mom's going to want to see you Mulder."
"I miss your mom. You could bring her over. Just as long as she doesn't tell anyone that I'm here. Now, tell me about my son."
"Well, I already told you so much in the emails."
"I'm sure there's more."
"Well, he can crawl now, and I expect that he will be walking shortly."
"Early bloomer," Mulder asked inquisitively.
"Early bloomer," Scully repeated with more certainty. Mulder smiled; he had gobbled up that dinner so fast that now he was done. He put his dish in the sink and walked towards Scully and pulled her up to him again. She yawned. Mulder checked his Rolex; it was 8:00.
"Tired," He asked, holding Scully in his arms. Her eyes were tightly shut as she rested up against him.
"Mmm yeah, but I have to feed William when he-"A soft whimper was heard on the baby monitor.
"Looks like he's up now," Mulder got William from his bedroom. He had on his spaceship pajamas and was holding a bear Mulder had gotten for him. "Do you want me to feed him?" Mulder asked as Scully shook the bottle with her right hand. "I want to feed him." Mulder smiled as Scully handed him the prepared formula. He gently rocked his son in his arms as he drank the bottle. "Sing Scully," Scully came up behind him and wrapped her arm around his waist.
"William was a bullfrog," Mulder placed a kiss on her cheek before she continued on.
"Was a good friend of mine
Never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me," William's eyes finally closed as he finished the four ounces he was given. Mulder smiled down at Scully and she met his smile with hers. She yawned softly.
"Bed," Mulder asked, carrying William off to his own bed. Scully nodded yes and decided to meet him in the bedroom after he put William down.
She pulled on her satin pajama top and then the bottoms just as Mulder walked in with a smile plastered onto his face.
"Sound asleep." He admitted, walking over to Scully who held out a pair of sweat pants for him that he took gratefully. "Thanks."
"Mhmm." She walked into the bathroom to take off her makeup as he got undressed.

Upon her return into the room she found the lights off and him on the bed. The moonlight snuck in through the have closed blinds, landing on Mulder. The moonlight danced over his bare skin making him look even more attractive, if possible. Scully shut the blinds, she didn't know who could be watching. After shutting them she ran to the bed and jumped on the bed, straddling Mulder.
"And I thought you were tired," Mulder laughed.
"Shut up, Mulder," Scully said as she passionately kissed Mulder, pulling away before he could allow it to be any deeper. "These are going to be the best three days ever," Scully sighed, rolling off the Mulder and snuggling to his side, shutting her tired eyes.
"The best three," Mulder questioned. "But I said four, remember?"
"Best three," She repeated while yawning. "I'll have to say goodbye on the fourth... and I don't want to," She pressed a kiss to his bare arm as she drifted off into sleep.
Mulder softly kissed her forehead.
"I don't want to either," He whispered.
