When the couple arrived home, Scully gently got her daughter out of the backseat. Storm yawned but remained asleep. The woman smiled down at the newborn. Mulder approached his wife and gently took his daughter from his wife.
"Come on Scully. You need to rest. You've had a busy last couple days," Mulder encouraged. Scully nodded and followed her husband into the house.
Mulder gently set his daughter's car seat on the floor as his wife removed her shoes. Mulder put his coat and the diaper bag away. Scully gave her husband a kiss before she tried to take her daughter out of her car seat.
"Dana, go rest. I'll take care of her," Mulder spoke softly. Scully shook her head. Mulder smiled.
"I don't want to leave her Mulder," Scully said as she picked her child up. Storm yawned and settled down as her mother held her. Mulder looked at his wife.
"You can't sleep with her Scully," Mulder explained. Scully nodded unhappily. The older man sighed.
"Scully, I'll set up the crib so it's right next your side of the bed. Remember it has that option to remove one of the sides so it can connect to our bed. Okay?" Mulder asked. Scully nodded as she rocked her child.
An hour later Mulder walked downstairs. Scully was sitting in the rocking chair playing with her daughter. Mulder smiled and entered the living room.
"Scully come on. I got everything set up," Mulder encouraged. Scully looked up at her husband and got off the rocking chair. Storm was awake looking around. Mulder smiled at his daughter.
When Scully arrived upstairs, she gently laid her daughter down in her crib. The newborn started to stress out and cry. Scully became heartbroken as she climbed into bed.
"Stormy. I'm right here," Scully spoke softly as she laid down next to her child. The newborn settled down a bit but still was unhappy. Scully snuggled up to her child the best she could. Storm settled down and fell asleep with her mother.
Mulder walked into the room an hour later and sighed. Scully was holding her child close to her as she slept. Storm was very content for a newborn. Mulder climbed into bed, wrapped his arms around his wife, and held her close.
"Mmm Mulder?" Scully yawned as she slowly awoke. Mulder shushed his wife and snuggled on her. Scully sighed happily and went back to sleep.
A couple hours later, Storm started to cry. Scully woke up and nuzzled on her daughter. The newborn kept crying as her mother gave her attention.
Scully smiled and sat up. She picked up her daughter and started to feed her. Storm quickly started to eat. Scully looked over at her husband and smiled. Mulder was fast asleep.
When Storm was done eating, Scully got off the bed, grabbed a towel, and tried to burp her. The newborn spit up a bit and started crying. Scully shushed her daughter and sang to her as she went into her daughter's bedroom.
Scully flipped on the light as she walked into the bedroom and smiled. The room was decorated in foxes, but looked a bit empty since Mulder moved the crib into their bedroom.
The mother went around, and collected a new diaper and outfit for her daughter. Storm cried unhappily as she was laid on her changing table for the first time. Scully smiled at the baby as she undressed and changed her.
After Storm was changed, Scully took her downstairs. The woman gently laid her daughter in her bouncy chair and buckled her in. Storm yawned and watched her mother. Scully smiled happily as she set up some toys for Storm to look at, as she made dinner.
When dinner was done, Scully gently picked her daughter out of her bouncy seat. Storm mumbled as Scully held her close. The woman went upstairs and woke her husband.
"Mulder, dinner is ready," Scully spoke softly as she woke her husband. Mulder yawned and stretched before he sat up in bed. The woman smiled at the older man.
"Mmm, can I see my baby?" Mulder asked happily. Scully nodded and gently handed her daughter over to her husband. Storm cried slightly before her father held her close.
"I think she's going to be clingy with us. She cries when she's not being held," Scully mentioned. Mulder smiled and nodded.
"Did you have to hold her the entire time you made dinner?" Mulder asked. Scully chuckled slightly.
"No, thankfully. She did like her bouncy seat though," Scully explained. Mulder nodded and snuggled on the newborn. Scully filled up with pride, happy she finally got the family she always wanted.
Mulder got out of the bed and followed Scully downstairs. Storm yawned and settled down as her father held her. When they arrived downstairs Mulder gently put his daughter down in her bouncy seat.
The newborn cried unhappily as her father buckled her in. Mulder shushed his daughter as he set the toys back up. Storm watched her father as he went to get himself dinner.
After dinner, Mulder and Scully were cuddled up on the couch together watching a movie. Storm was fast asleep in her mother's arms. Scully looked up and her husband and smiled.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mulder looked over at his wife confused. Scully tried to get off the couch to answer the door. Mulder stopped her.
"I got it Scully. Just take care of our baby, okay?" Mulder explained. Scully nodded and loved on the newborn. Mulder smiled and went to open the door.
"Hey! I hoped you were home. I was in the the area and I haven't seen you or Scully in a about six months, so I decided to drop by," an older balding man with a white beard and glasses explained to Mulder. Mulder stood still and processed who was at the door.
"Skinner?" Mulder stood in the doorway, slightly confused. The man nodded. Mulder grinned and let the other man in the house.
"Hey it's nice to see you again. Follow me," Mulder grinned as he led Skinner to the living room. Scully was sitting on the couch cuddling on the newborn as the two men entered the room.
"Skinner? Is that really you?" Scully smiled. Mulder grinned as he led Skinner to a chair. Skinner smiled and sat in the chair, as Mulder sat next to his wife.
"Aww are you guys babysitting?" Skinner asked as he looked at the newborn. Mulder looked over at his wife and grinned. Scully snuggled on Storm.
"Um. No. This is my daughter," Mulder explained. Skinner gave Mulder a surprised look. Scully laid on her husband.
"We didn't tell anyone I was pregnant other than my mother, and the hospital I work at, just in case something went wrong. Well obviously the pregnancy went fine," Scully smiled. Skinner nodded and smiled.
"What's her name?" Skinner asked. Mulder looked at his wife.
"Storm Katherine Mulder. Would you like to hold her?" Scully asked happily. Skinner nodded and took the newborn from her mother. Storm cried slightly as she was being handed over.
"Hi Storm. You look like your Dad," Skinner smiled and he held the newborn close to him. Storm whined and wiggled slightly.
"Here, I don't want to drop her," Skinner explained as he gave the newborn back to her mother. Scully quickly took her daughter back and held her close.
After an hour of visiting, Mulder walked Skinner to the door. Scully was upstairs feeding and changing her daughter. As soon as Skinner left Mulder headed upstairs.
Mulder walked into his bedroom, and saw his wife laying down with their daughter, cuddling on her. Storm was swaddled up, while slowly falling asleep. Mulder smiled and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a tank top.
The older man climbed into bed and held his wife close. Scully sighed happily as her husband held her. Storm yawned again while laying right next to her mother. Scully kissed on the newborn, before her and her husband fell asleep for the night.
