It's insane how much all of you guys are asking for this! I didn't have the time to sit down and write, but it turns out last night there was a problem with the energy system provider of my house, therefore, I was out of energy. Only thing with enough battery to keep awake and distracted was my computer, so I started writing! And I wrote not one but two new chapters :) I hope ya'll like it! Thanks for the reviews, and like usual, the requests are opened. I can't promise all the requests will be in the next chapter, but I'll try my best to write it down. Without further words to say, here it is chapter number 2!

Mer.


Chapter 2: Cuddle buddy.

After a long and exhaustive 10 hours shift at the hospital, Dana Scully was eager to get home and change into comfortable sweat pants and an oversized shirt from her husband. And, to most of it all, cuddle her little almost-1-year-old baby boy. The drive back home was exhaustive. Living in the suburbs of Washington DC was their first initial thought when William was born. They wanted him to be able to feel the sun on his face, the green grass underneath his feet and hands as he crawled.

As she opened the familiar gate, she smiled at the sight of their house. It was a classic, two floors house with a big front and back yard. Parking on her side of the garage, she opened the automatic door and drove the car into the building.

Scully opened the front door and was met with the sight of their baby sitter with William, sitting on the floor and playing. She smiled at Gwen and William, who as soon as he saw his mom, stood up as fast as his wobbly legs allowed him, making small steps towards the redhead. "Oh hello little Bullfrog. Come to mama." She kneeled down and opened her arms, receiving the little boy between her arms and hugging him tight "I missed you so so so much William." Smiling into the baby's smell, she kissed his little chubby cheek and made the little kid laugh "How was he today Gwen?" "Oh he was great Mrs Mulder..." "Oh, please, you can call me Dana." She said, laughing a little and rocking the little boy back and forth, who seemed to have found home on his mother's shoulder "Okay, Dana… He's great… Really. He's so smart and attentive. He doesn't miss a single thing!" Gwen exclaimed, patting the little boy's back "Do I have to come tomorrow?" The blonde teenager asked, looking at Scully "Oh, no. I have two free days now, so I'll stay home with him. Even though, if Mul—Fox, and I decide to go out, I'll give you a call." "Okay! Great, then I'll see you in three days!" "Indeed." "I'll show myself out." Gwen smiled, kissing William's little head and took her stuff, making her way out.

Once the door was closed, Scully sighed. Some alone time with William was all she needed to feel better. "How about we prepare dinner for daddy, Hun?" She asked, making the little boy jump between her arms and giggle at the mention of his father "That sounds like a yes to me." She poked his little nose and smiled at him.


About two hours later, Scully was setting the table, glancing every 10 seconds over to William, who was playing with a little toy on the living room's floor, over his little blue fuzzy blanket. Mulder was supposed to be home in about 40' minutes, so she had enough spare time to take a shower, and a short 30' nap with her son.

Taking the small kid into the bath tub with her was the best idea she could've ever had. Immersion baths seemed to relax William to the point he simply lied against his mother's chest, with his hand over her heart and his head on her shoulder "You like this huh?" Smiling, she kissed his cheek, rubbing his little back. 15' later, she got off of the tub, making sure the little boy was tucked into a fuzzy towel. Taking one around her, she picked him up from the bathroom sink and let him snuggle into the crook of her neck as he sucked on his little thumb "Ready for a nap, little man?" the soft sound of William snoring indicated Scully that her son was already into the plan. She settled him in the middle of bed, making sure he was surrounded with pillows.

After she changed into her silk pyjamas, she took some pillows away, from her side of the bed and snuggled closer to her son, who as soon as his mother's perfume was into his senses, turned on his side and hid into her chest. Smiling at such a cute and tender reaction, Scully pulled him in closer, closing her eyes and drifting off to dreamland around 4:15 pm.

It wasn't until 6:30 that Mulder finally made it into the warmness of his house. He sighed as the soreness of his body took over him. He worked the whole day on delayed paperwork; therefore, he spent more hours sitting down than the ones he's used to. Or liked to. The familiar smell of Scully's spaghetti invaded his nose and he smiled "Oh God, how could I not love her…" But as he ventured into the kitchen, he only found a big recipient with the food ready. No signs of Scully and William. Suddenly, the house was too quiet. Mulder loosened his tie and made his way upstairs, a little bit preoccupied at the lack of sounds and human beings into his house.


It wasn't until he reached his room that his fears were washed away, and a sweet and heart-fluttering sight took over his body. His wife and son, cuddling into a nap. Smiling widely, he walked over and kicked off his shoes. Laying on his side of the bed, he scooted closer to them and pulled Scully, and William at the same time, into a warm and tight hug.

Scully was too asleep to be startled, and she knew it was Mulder. She just knew it. The way he grabbed her. The pressure he applied on her with his big hands. His perfume. The smell of basement and too much caffeine. Those things gave Mulder's presence away the minute he was into bed, so she just smiled "You're home…" She whispered with her eyes still closed "You're home…" "You and William are my home." He whispered back, leaning in to kiss her smile softly. Pulling away, he leaned and kissed his son's temple. "We love you, daddy." "Da-aaddy." William mumbled, opening his little eyes with a lot of effort and smiling at him "Loook at that… Someone said his first word!" Scully opened one eye and smiled "Well done boy… Well done…" "Keep sleeping, little alien… You're safe with us." William smiled and closed his eyes, laying on his back with his parents' hands intertwined over his little chest.
