XxxxxXxxxxXxxxxxXxxxxXxxxxXxxxxX

Scully walked, well waddled, around the house trying to get everything ready. Her brother's and their family's were coming to visit for Thanksgiving, so she had to set up the guestrooms and have Mulder put another table for the kids in the dining room.

Scully looked at the clock and saw that it was 9 o'clock. "Mulder!" she yelled as she fixed the bedroom for Charlie's boys and Mattie, Bill's only child. He stuck his head inside the door, "Yeah?" "Do you know what time my brother's will be here?"

Mulder furrowed his brow as he thought, "Bill should be here later this afternoon and Charlie should be here within the hour. Mom is with William cooking dinner."

Scully looked up at Mulder after she made the bed, "Ok. Oh and Mulder. Please be good this weekend. I really don't need anymore family feuds ok?" Scully looked at him with a look that made him want to go in there and give her a hug. "Yes, babe. I will try. I love you."

Scully smiled, "Ok. Love you." Mulder took his head out of the room and walked down the hall to his bedroom, so he could take a shower in his own bathroom. Scully stepped back to admire what she did, satisfied, she walked out of the room.

Just then the door bell rang. She also heard the shower go on. "Mom! Can you get the door? I'm going to take a shower." Scully walked off to the bathroom to join Mulder for a shower. She knew it would be the last time all weekend.

Freshly showed and glowing, Mulder and Scully went downstairs to see how had arrived. Scully's face lit up after she saw who was in the living room.

"Charlie!" she ran as fast as she could to her younger brother and gave him a hug. "Oh, now it's hi Charlie. I heard you tell mom to answer the door because you were going to take a shower."

Scully pulled away shocked, "Charlie, did you really want to see me before I was all showered? I slaved away at your bedrooms and sweated like a pig. Did you really want to see me like that?" Charlie laughed, "Dana, I grew up with you. I know what you look like when you sweat."

Charlie finally saw Mulder standing by the door. Walking over to him he gave him a hand shake and a few claps on the back, "Mulder, good to see you again. Very exciting time right. A few more weeks."

Returning the shake Mulder said, "Yeah, We can't wait." "Charlie!" Mulder stepped away from Charlie so his mother could get a hug and kiss in. "How are you sweetie? You eating alright, you look at little skinny."

Charlie laughed yet again, "Yes, mom. I'm eating fine. I work out and that's why I'm skinny." Scully spoke up after noticing a few missing people. "Hey Charlie, Where're April and the kids?" He and his wife April had twin red- head boys Charlie Jr. and Neal.

Charlie sighed, "Well, they went out to the store while you were in the shower. I think she went out so she could get away from me for a while. We've been having some problems."

Just then William walked in, "Grandma, the water's boiling. Hi Uncle Charlie!" Charlie was his favorite uncle. People think that is because William and his father are so close that he does really like Bill because Bill hates Mulder.

Charlie lifted him up to give him a hug. "Hey Kiddo. How are you?" William answered with a smile, "Excited. My brother and sister are coming soon." Everyone laughed. After he had gotten used to the idea of having siblings he could not wait for them to arrive. "I have to make to potatoes. William do you want to help?"

"Yeah Grandma!" Charlie put him down and he ran off with his Grandmother to the kitchen. "So, I guess Dana will not been joining them."

Scully looked up from her place on the couch. "That's mom and William's room, not mine. They cook. I just eat it." Charlie laughed again, 'hard to do in a crazy place like this' he thought, "Nice way of looking at it Dana." He sat down on the couch opposite the one Scully was sitting at. Mulder sat next to Scully who asked her brother the question everyone has been wanting to ask, "So, how are things between you and April?"

Charlie leaned back into the couch and sighed. "Their getting worse. We fight all the time. I do mean all the time. Some times the kids see us and I want her to stop yelling, but she doesn't." His eyes started to tear up.

"Does it look like its heading for divorce?" Mulder asked another question people have been dying to ask. Mulder and Scully were the only two with enough guts to ask him a question like that. "It seems that way Mulder. I thing it might."

No one could meet each other's eyes after hearing the statement that was finally said out loud.

A few hours had gone by and with April and the kids' arrival brought more tension in the house. Charlie's statement of divorce made Mulder and Scully feel slightly uneasy. Kind of like they did not want to get to close fearing that this would happen to them next…and they weren't even married. 'Yet' Mulder thought. He thought of the ring in his desk upstairs in his office. He was going to ask her at Christmas.

The air outside was a little cold, but neither wanted to go inside for a jacket. They would have to go past Charlie and April's room to get to their bedroom. However, neither Mulder nor Scully wanted to hear them fighting. Right after April had arrived, they had gone up stairs. Then the screaming started.

Mulder said that they should take the kids outside so they could play. Scully knew what he was getting at, so they did. However, both forgot to grab their jackets. Thankfully, the kids had on sweaters, so they were fine.

Scully leaned into Mulder. Noticing how cold she was, put his arm around her. Suddenly, warmth hit them. They both turned quickly, and saw Maggie waling back into the house. She had put the blanket from the living room on them. She knew how much fighting disturbed them.

Mulder and Scully had what you would call an 'almost prefect' relationship. They bickered a little, but never full on blow outs like this one. In all the time she's known them as a couple, she has seen if they ever seen another couple fighting, they would get a distant look in their eyes. With a little fear mixed in. Maggie knew that it wasn't the other couple they were concerned about. It was themselves they were concerned about. They were afraid that it would be them next.

After about two hours of listing to her son and his wife fighting, she has had enough. Their unhappiness was making the people around them suffer. She marched right up to their room. She knocked on the door and without waiting for an answer walked in.

They problem wouldn't have heard her anyway. Charlie and April were screaming so loudly at each other that they could not hear Maggie yelling at them. Finally getting to courage, she slammed the door shut. It was pretty loud, and it got the fighting pair's attention.

Maggie couldn't believe that they were fighting and decided to make it known to them. "I can not believe you are doing this. Your sister and Mulder invited you here and this is how you repay them?"

Charlie went to open his mouth, but mother stopped him, "I'm not done yet!" she screamed so loudly that the pictures rattled on the walls. She would have laughed at the look of shock on her son's face, if she weren't angry at him.

"Do you know what this is doing to them? They hate to hear other couples fighting. You are creating their worst fears. Those two are so afraid of splitting up that they can't hear other couples fight because they are afraid its going to happen to them."

The look of shock slowly started into a look of sorrow. April has had a guilty look on her face since Maggie had slammed the door.

Of course, Maggie still was not finish with the guilt trip. "I just had to cover them with a blanket because they were afraid to come to their own house to get a jacket. Afraid to come into their own house. Your sister, your PREGNANT sister, was out there in a t-shirt shivering leaning into Mulder for warmth."

Realizing what they had done, Charlie and April looked at the floor. Maggie took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Charlie looked out the kitchen window and felt to guilt all over. His almost nine month old sister was cuddled with her boyfriend under a blanket. He still could believe he was creating their worst fear. He took a deep breath and walked out side.

"Guys?" Mulder and Scully turned their heads to see Charlie standing there. "Hi Charlie. What is it?" Scully asked with a concerned face. "Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that you can go inside now. The fight is over." Mulder smiled. He got up and took his girlfriends hands. Pulling her up he said, "Its about 2, we should see what's happening with Bill."

As they were walking away, Charlie noticed one detail his mother missed. Dana was wearing any shoes either. He got up, "Dana?" She looked at him with the concerned look back on her face, "Yeah?"

He walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let the fight happen." Mulder walked up to them, "Charlie. Don't worry about it." Scully pulled away and once again leaned in to Mulder. "Yeah. Just don't let it happen again. It does some pretty weird stuff to us."

Charlie smiled and nodded. Mulder and Scully turned and walked into the house. After he was alone, Charlie when to the wall that his sister occupied a few minutes ago and sat down. He put his head into his hands and let a few tears leak out of his eyes.

The door bell rang a little after three. This time Scully was sent to open the door because everyone knew who it was.

"Hi Bill." Scully said with a smile after letting him, his wife Tara and their son Mattie in. "Hey Dana" Bill said kissing her on the cheek. "It's good you came now because dinner will be served at four. Mom's word, not mine. Hi Tara. Hi Mattie!"

Mattie was now almost eight years old. "Hi Auntie Dana. You got fat. Ow!" Bill hit him over the head, "Be nice. She's pregnant." Mattie stared at his Aunt, "Sorry. I didn't know."

Scully looked at his brother and wife with a confused look. Tara spoke up, "I told him. However, he never listens." Mattie shrugged. Scully smiled, "No problem. Mulder and I are having the same problem with William."

At the mention of Mulder's name a look of disgust passed over Bill's face, "Speaking of Mulder. Where is the son of a bi-" "Bill!" both Scully and Tara yelled at him, for different reasons.

"Ok, where are our rooms Dana?" Bill asked forgetting Mulder was ever mentioned, or born. "Upstairs. Mattie is sharing with Jr. and Neal." Bill leaned in and gave her another kiss, "Thanks Dana."

Scully faked a smile as they walked up the stairs. 'Its going to be a long weekend.'

At around four o'clock, everyone gathered around a table so they could eat thanksgiving dinner. "Ok, Lets eat!" Scully said excitedly looking at the turkey. She could not wait to have some of it. And so of the potatoes. And squash, and cranberry sauce. And…Oh, who are you kidding. She wanted everything.

Bill looked around the table to see Scully, Mulder, William, and Mom already eating. "Whoa Mom! Don't we say grace before we eat?" He was completely confused. "Honey I already did. I never say it out loud any more. You know Fox is not religious."

At that Bill got angry, "So you change your beliefs because of him?" Scully spoke up, "She didn't change her beliefs. She just doesn't say them out loud, in respect for Mulder. She does that every meal. Sometimes Mulder will join her. Ok? Back off."

Everyone started at each other; Charlie shrugged and began to grab food. "Hey Mulder, why don't you cut the turkey I'm dying for some." Charlie said with a full mouth of stuffing. Mulder looked at Scully, "Babe, what do you want?" He asked her first knowing she wanted everything insight, the babe made Bill grow red in the face.

"umm, white meat." Mulder put the knife to the turkey. "Wait dark meat." Mulder readjusted the knife and almost started cutting. "Wait! White meat!" Mulder sighed and readjusted the knife to some white meat and started cutting. "Wait!" Mulder looked at her with a 'What!?' look. "Can I have a little of both?"

Mulder then just started laughing, and then Scully joined him. Everyone at the table looked at them like they were crazy. "Grandma, have mommy and daddy lost their minds now?" William asked from the kids table. Maggie looked over at him and nodded; she looked back at the laughing adults and smiled.

Charlie looked at them, "ok, its nice to see you guys having the time of your life, but some of us want turkey." He got up and took the knife from Mulder, who almost fell on the floor in laughter. He handed Scully her turkey, Scully started laughing al over again seeing Mulder bang his fist on the table, still laughing.

"April, do you want some?" Charlie asked his wife, trying to be civilized, for his sister's sake. "No Charles." The laughter stopped immediately at the sound of April's harsh tone. "Ok, let's eat and have a good time people." Mulder said. Charlie finished serving people and went to sit down. April would not meet his eyes.

Al of a sudden, Mulder accidentally dropped the bowl of squash into his lap. This erupted the already vulnerable pair into hysterics again. Mulder and Scully both had tears running down their faces. They figured that the tension of the house had gone on long enough and they were going to join them selves.

Bill of course did like that they were causing a scene at dinner, "Dana, if you don't mind some of us are trying to eat." His tone of voice made her stop. She angrily got up and walked over to him. "Bill, let me get on thing straight. This is my house. I will do what ever I want when ever I want. Mulder will do the same. Its his house to."

Bill, who was seething by this point got up and grabbed her arm. That caused Mulder to get up. "Get your hands off of her." He grabbed his hand and pulled it off of her and shielded her behind his back. Bill had had enough of Mulder.

"You know you ruined my family, and now your going to pay for it." Mulder didn't even notice Bill's fist before it hit his face. "Bill!" Scully screamed not believing that she had seen her brother hit the love of her life.

Mulder trying to defend himself hit back. A total fist fight erupted between them. No one could stop them because they would have gotten hit themselves. Charlie and April had gotten all the kids out of the dinning room into the living room. When Charlie walked in he saw his mom trying to stop the fight and Dana doubled over in pain.

He ran over to his sister, "Dana, what's going on?" He looked on the floor and saw water everywhere. His eyes widened and asked her, "Are you going into labor." All she could do was nod her head.

He stood up and got in the mid of the fight, risking getting hit himself. "Hey hey hey, stop it." He turned to Mulder, "Dana's in labor." Mulder turned and ran over to her. "Ok, Mom can you get the bag from our room. Come on babe, we've got to go."

Scully put an arm around his neck and walked slowly to the door. Maggie ran outside with the bag and opened the car door. Mulder put Scully in the back seat and motioned Maggie to go inside too.

He turned to the rest of the family, "Are you all coming?" Every one nodded their heads. "Charlie, can you bring William. His car seat is in Scully's car take that one." He threw Scully's car keys to him and jumped into the car.

Well, only a few more chapters left. I'm thinking about a sequel, but I don't know. We'll see. Please review. You've all been great. Thanks for reading!
