It's a long one. I'm sorry for the wait. And I didn't have it corrected for errors... sorry :( Tell me in a review... I wanna know what you think!
I just wanted to get it up for you guys.
Dedicated to baby Felix. (His name is an anagram for X-files! & close to the name FOX, which she joked about being his name. But I seriously think Fox would've been a better name. Felix reminds me of cats.)
Okay, what do you guys think about this... (just curious)

-- Thanksgiving
Mulder sat idly in his office on a Wednesday morning. The air vent behind him blew warm air out towards him, which was nice. He had just come back inside from the cold. Just as he was going to fling one of his Ticonderogas into the ceiling, his familiar ringtone sounded, Skinner's ringtone.
Apparently, Scully had heard it too. She was busy cleaning the house, for tomorrow was Thanksgiving and the whole family was coming by to re-meet William. She woke up early to start on the kitchen and was now walking in the office with a dish towel, drying her soapy hands.
"Is that Skinner?" Scully walked in and stood next to Mulder, as he nodded and answered his cell.
"Mulder," He answered.
"Mulder, it's Skinner. Now, Robinson called." Robinson was the judge, and as Skinner said his name he sounded tense. Clearly, there was bad news.
"Mulder, put it on speaker." He hesitantly touched the speaker button after Scully's request.
"He agreed to grant Anna and Tom Thanksgiving with William." Mulder slammed his fist on the table, and stood up. Scully crossed her arms in defense.
"NO!" They both shouted simultaneously.
"You both know I wouldn't have it that way... especially since I'm the one who has to supervise it."
"So now you're not going to come over for dinner with us?" Mulder asked.
"Mulder, I'm not letting this happen." Scully said firmly.
"I guess I can't."
"Well..." Mulder got up as he thought. He leaned against the cold window pane. "What if they come here?"
"That would be fine."
"No!" Scully said, spinning Mulder around by grabbing his left arm. "I'm not having that woman in my house, Mulder."
"I feel the same way, but think about it Scully. It would only be for dinner. It would only be about an hour. You wanted William to meet your family. We already have all of this arranged."
"Mulder," Her lip quivered as she looked deeply into his green eyes.
"I'll be with you. Skinner would be here in case anything happened badly." Scully was pulled into Mulder's arms. He kissed her softly on the lips.
"Fine. But you know William's going to be more objective to this that I am." She motioned to the open door, where William could be seen playing with his legos in living room.
--
William rolled out of bed the next morning at 8 am. He slipped into his monster inc slippers, and his little feet moved fast down the steps. He ran into the living room and sat down on the couch in front of the television, where the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was on.
Scully was in the kitchen, unaware of her son in the living room, and she was basting the large turkey.
"Mommy, when's dinner gonna be ready?" William asked softly, on his knees, backwards on the couch so that he would be facing his mother.
"Oh, Willie I didn't know you were up already. Dinner won't be ready until around 3. Are you hungry now sweetie?" He nodded. "I bought your favorite cereal." Scully went over to the pantry and pulled out frosted flakes.
"Can I eat in the living room?" William asked, now at his mother's side. "The parade is my favorite."
"Sure sweetie, but you have to be very careful not to spill anything, okay?"
"I promise." William hugged his mother before taking his bowl of cereal into the living room.
After he ate, William grew aware of his father's absence.
"Mommy, where's Daddy?" William was rinsing out his empty bowl.
"Outside, Baby, he's raking leaves."
"Can I go!?"
"Just change your clothes."
In minutes William was running down the steps at full force, clad in a black fleece hoodie, dark jeans, and black tennis shoes. He flung the back door open and shut it quickly behind him. He ran down the deck steps and right into his father's arms.
"Daddy!" He shouted as his father caught him.
"What's wrong Will? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Happy Thanksgiving!"
"Well, happy Thanksgiving to you too." Mulder picked his son up and kissed his cheek. William buried his face into the crook of Mulder neck. He was warm, a relief from the chilly air. William breathed his Daddy in deeply. Like his mother, he was in love with his father's scent.
"Can I help you?"
"I don't know if there's much more to be helped with." William looked around at the leaves. They were all in a nice neat pile. William frowned. "But you know what we can do?" William shook his head, still disappointed.
"We can jump in them!"
"Really?" To Mulder's amusement, William's blue eyes went wide. He mirrored his mother exactly. Mulder chuckled.
"Of course we can!" Mulder placed William on his feet, and just as he was about to jump, Mulder caught him. "You have to back up." Mulder took his hand and led him back farther. "You need a good running start. Ready. Set. GO!" William took off and leaped in pile of red and orange. The leaves crunched below him, and he yelled for his father to join him.
"Your turn!"
From above on the deck, next to all the covered furniture, Scully was admiring the red and orange foliage in there yard and the scene before her. She wore a nice pair of dark jeans, and a long brown sweater over her black turtle neck. She was taking pictures of her two favorite people playing in the leaves.
Mulder was spinning William in his arms, making him dizzy as Scully walked down the wooden steps.
"Mommy!" William wiggled out of his father's arms and ran into his mother's arms. "Mommy, we were just jumping in leaves! Wanna see?" William jumped into the pile and through a bunch of red into the air. Scully giggled. William took the red digital camera out of his mother's hand and took pictures at the trees.
"It's chilly out here." Mulder chuckled and stepped forward to wrap his arms around his wife.
"Chilly?" He chuckled a throaty sound. "How about just cold?" Like William, Scully took the liberty to bury her face in the crook of Mulder's neck and inhale his scent. William, who was noticing the heartfelt moment between his mother and father, grasped the opportunity to take a few pictures of it.
Scully giggled a light musical noise as Mulder lips lingered on her forehead. With her eyes closed she angled her head up so her lips could catch his. It was a light kiss, just like the simple moment between them.
The pictures William took, with Mulder's lips on her forehead, Mulder holding her, and their light kiss, looked like something out of a magazine. Although a six year old took the picture, the lighting and colors looked ideal for any photographer taking autumn pictures.
"Will toss me that camera." William tossed the camera lightly to his Daddy. "Stand right there with Mommy, I want to get a picture of you two." William clutched onto his mother's side, causing her to laugh. Mulder snapped the picture.
"Aw, but Mulder I wasn't ready!" She complained, pouting.
"You looked beautiful. Now, come on. I want another." This time Scully got down on her knee, to be the same height as William. Mulder took the picture once he was sure she was ready.
Scully got two of Mulder and William, one nice one and one silly one. After that, she sat the camera on the steps and hit timer, so they could have one all together.
Following their time outside, Scully got the chance to print all of the good pictures. A few were put into frames. When printed, one of them actually looked like a professionally done portrait.
All cuddled up on the couch, under a warm fleece blanket, the small family watched the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Of course, after being outside they were all exhausted. Mulder was the only one to stay awake. The Mulder family was a William sandwich under the blanket. Mulder had is back against the couch, William's back was to him, his small head buried into his mother's red hair ,and Scully facing Mulder's side. Scully's hand was resting on Mulder's neck as she slept, and his hand was resting lightly on her waist. Her lips were lightly parted, and the tiniest bit of drool trickled down her chin. He was sure William looked the same. William stirred in both of their arms and he turned around.
"Daddy, when's everyone gonna be here?" He asked, and a big yawn followed.
"Actually," Mulder checked the clock, 1:21. "They should be her," Before he could finish the door bell sounded. Mulder sighed.
"That must be them. Can you go get the door for me, Will." Will carefully slid out of the sandwich and walked to the door to answer it!
"GRANDMA'S HERE, DADDY!" He yelled so loudly the Scully woke up. She flickered her eyes open and smiled as soon as she saw Mulder smiling back. But then she buried her face eddp into his chest.
"Honey, wake up, people are here." He whispered.
"No," Her voice was muffled by his chest. Mulder chuckled. He kissed her head and held her tight.
"I'm too tired," Scully sounded like she was William's age. Her mother and brother behind her started cracking up. Scully's head snapped up, thinking it was Bill laughing.
"Sis, calm down. It's just me not Bill." It was Charlie, Scully's little brother. He looked an awful lot like Scully, but with brown hair.
"Charlie!" Scully smiled. Her brother walked around the couch to give his older sister a hug.
"How you doing, man?" Charlie asked, giving Mulder one of those manly hugs where they clap each other on the back.
"I'm doing great. Happy Thanksgiving, Charlie, Maggie." Maggie smiled, kissed William's cheek, and sat him down on the floor. William pulled on her pant leg.
"Sweetie, I have to cook the yams. You're cousins should be in here soon. Happy Thanksgiving, Fox." Scully got up and embraced her mother and kissed her cheek. After mother and daughter exchanged happy Thanksgiving, William pulled William up into her arms, and walked to the door.
"Michelle, Happy Thanksgiving!" Scully hugged her 7 months pregnant sister-in-law. Attached to her arm was 23 month old Lakyn. (A/n: Pronounced as LAY-kin.) One hand was holding her short blonde braided pig tail the other held tightly onto her mother's hand. Her pink sippy cup was tucked underneath her arm.
"Happy Thanksgiving, Dana!"
"You're looking very pregnant."
"Thank you." Michelle giggled as two twin seven year old boys walked in.
"Auntie Dana!" Tristan and Tyler, the twins both hugged their aunt. Lakyn pulled on Scully's wrist.
"Hey boys! Hey Lakyn, look how big you're getting!" Scully set William down next to the cousins he didn't know and picked up the baby. Lakyn giggled an adorable baby giggle.
"Tristan, Tyler, Lakyn, this is your cousin, William." William very excited waved.
"William, that's Tristan, Tyler, and Lakyn." Scully pointed each one out. "And this is your aunt, Michelle." Michelle smiled and waved.
"Hi, William, happy Thanksgiving!"
"Thank you, Auntie Michelle." William was soon running up the steps with his two cousins.
Mulder, Bill, and Bill's 10 year old son, Matthew were throwing the football out in the backyard. Most of the animosity between Bill and Mulder was gone. They liked each other enough to be able to have a decent conversation and throw a football, but they were nowhere close to how Mulder and Charlie were. Bill was always trying to follow in his father's footsteps as a child, always being strict. Charlie, on the other hand, was just a jokester, closer to Mulder.
William made fast friends with his two cousins, Tristan and Tyler. They never came downstairs from his room. Scully had to go upstairs with Bill, Tara, Matthew, and their 5 year old, Daniel.
The two pregnant women, Tara, who was 8 months pregnant, and Michelle, sat in the living room knitting hats. Tara's was horrible, but Michelle's was near perfection. Scully had to admit, she was a little jealous. She wanted so badly to just get pregnant.
Five minutes before dinner, Anna and Tom had pulled up in front of the house. Scully sank into the chair in the front room once she looked out the window.
"It'll be fine," Mulder said calmly, walking up to her and rubbing her should as she sat.
"I'm not thinking of myself, Mulder. I'm thinking about him."
"Honey, when we told William... do you remember? He was upset... but he told us it would be fine. We explained to him that the only other option was just being with them." Scully bit her lip and nodded as the doorbell rang. "Come on." Mulder pulled her up with his hand and then secured his arm tightly around her waist.
"Hi, happy Thanksgiving," Mulder greeted Anna and Tom politely as they came in. Tom wore a jean button down shirt and a pair of jeans. Anna wore an dull orange turtle neck anda pair of dark wash jeans.
"Hello, Fox, Dana." Tom was always the more polite one when it came to Mulder and Scully. Anna was ruthless. However, Tom was sometimes just as bad. "Happy Thanksgiving to you both."
"Here, let me take your coats." Scully offered, forcing a smile upon her lips.
"Where's William?" Anna asked, looking around the house. Voices could be heard but she wasn't able to see anyone.
"Oh, he's upstairs with his cousins. I'll go get him." Scully began walking upstairs when Tom stopped her.
"Can I go with you?" He asked, his hand on her arm made her feel uncomfortable. She wentto scratch her head. "I'd love to see William's room."
"O-okay," She stuttered. "Sure."
While Scully led Tom up to William's bedroom, Mulder took the liberty to be a good host, and introduce Anna to the family. He was being more polite than she deserved, and for once she wasn't bad mouthing. Maybe it was because they invited her into their house for Thanksgiving. He didn't know.
"William, kids," Scully tapped on William's creaked open door before lightly pushing it open. "William, Tom is here and so is Anna. He wanted to see your room." Tom peeked his head into the door slightly.
"This is a nice room you have, William." Tom commented politely, stepping inside. "Do you mind if I go admire your view?" William shrugged his shoulders and got up to hug his mother's waist. She smoothed his soft brown hair, reassuring him. "Your view is beautiful." Tom smiled and then turned to see William hugging Scully. He frowned on the spot. His bald head shined in the light pouring in through the windowed doors. "Are you happy, William?" Tom walked up and stared down at William. He nodded, and then Tom left the bedroom.
"That wasn't weird." Tristan said sarcastic tone, which he doubt inherited from his father, as he ripped off a loose thread from his sweater.
"Tristan," Scully warned.
"Sorry, Auntie Dana," Tyler was giggling beside him.
"That was William's adoptive Dad, Tom." Scully announced, as she again rubbed her hand over her son's head. "Dinner should be ready in a few, so can you guys please go wash your hands." The two other boys slowly got to their feet and followed William and Scully across the hall into the bathroom.
No one in Mulder and Scully's house knew about what Anna and Tom had done to William except for Skinner. And for that reason, they were all being kind and welcoming. However, it was a fact that if they did know the truth, Anna and Tom would've been hit, kicked, lit on fire, a shotgun shoved up their butt, slapped, ridiculed, or all of the above.
Scully walked down the steps with the twins behind her, William was in her arms, his face buried in her hair.
"Mommy, can I help you in the kitchen?"
"Do you want to?" William nodded, eagerly. "Then of course you can, sweetheart." Scully set William down on the tiled floor. The turkey was finished. Just as she was going to pull it out of the oven, she felt a pair of large hands on her waist.
"Let me," Mulder insisted, bent over next to her. He kissed her cheek, causing her to smile and blush violently as the blood rushed to her cheeks. Scully backed up out of Mulder's way to see William staring at least 16 whip cream cans sat.
"Mommy are we gonna use all of these on our pumpkin pie!?" William's eyes lit up with excitement.
"No." He frowned. "We're going to use them for something even better." William looked at her, face full of confusion. "You'll see after we've all eaten."
As soon as the loud roaring of the electric knife Mulder had used to carve up the turkey ceased, Scully called out to everyone.
"Dinner's ready!"
All the food was set up in the kitchen on the counter and the island, ready to be put on plates. The adults would be sitting in the dining room, whereas the children would all be in the kitchen. After grace was said by Mrs. Scully, everyone was allowed to head into the kitchen to prepare their plates. The kitchen was filled the most mouth-watering aroma, which could only be found on Thanksgiving.
Mulder had taken the liberty to fixing his son's plate. He had turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes drenched in brown homemade gravy, green bean casserole, and candied sweet potatoes. Mulder carried William's plate to the round table in front of the back door, where his other cousins were already sitting. There was only one vacant seat at that table, other than the one Mulder had set his food at.
"No, Daddy." William whined. "I want to sit with you and Mommy... please?" William gave him one little pout, and that was all it took for Mulder to give in.
"Okay," Mulder took William's plate into the dining room and sat it on the table.
"What are you doing, Mulder?" Scully asked, raising an eyebrow as she set her plate at the place setting next to where William's plate was set.
"He wanted to sit in here with us."
"Mulder, this table is for adults only."
"Scully, look at our son." William pouted, and her expression softened. She sighed.
"Alright." She said before smiling sweetly to William. She couldn't turn down William's face, and besides, shouldn't he get to sit with his parents on his first Thanksgiving with them?
Within minutes everyone was sitting down enjoying the food that was prepared for them. Other than Lakyn, who sat in her highchair being fed by Michelle, William was the only child at the adult table. He sat next to his mother, and to his right was his grandma. Anna and Tom were across from him. Skinner sat next to Mulder. William had eaten half of what was on his plate, and was now engaged in a conversation about school with his uncle, Charlie. Anna and Tom had been quiet the dinner, just enjoying their food.
"William quit talking and finish up your dinner." Anna randomly said right before she shoved a spoonful of mashed potatoes into her mouth. William, nervous, looked up to his mother. His eyes broke her heart.
"It's okay sweetheart." She caressed his cheek as she whispered. Anna glared deviously. "Just please finish up your food." Scully spoke to her son in the softest tone she ever used. Mulder's hand was under the table with Scully's during the whole course of the meal. Now, he was squeezing her hand in reassurance.
"I believe that children should be seen and not heard." Every single head turned to Anna. Her husband smiled sheepishly, and Scully shot her a glare. Finally Anna's true colors were beginning to show.
"Well we don't believe that in this family." Maggie's cold glare mirrored Scully's from just a moment ago, and she put her arm around her grandson's shoulder.
"Well, who wants pie?" Tara asked cheerfully, getting up and breaking through the tension in the room. She carried her plate into the kitchen and Bill followed with her.
"Well, I think it's time for us to head back." Tom said with a smile, standing up. William got to his feet as well, but instead of saying goodbye to Anna and Tom, he went in between his mother and father, who were also standing, and he buried his small face into his mother's sweater, wrapping his little arms around her waist. "It was nice meeting you all." Tom said politely, now backing out of the dining room. The Scully's said their polite farewells to Tom, although they were clearly upset with his wife. Mulder with his arm around Scully's waist and William squished in between their hips, walked Tom and Anna to the door.
Scully, with ill feelings towards Anna, did not say goodbye to her, but only to Tom. Tom was so confusing to her. How could he appear so nice but have been so cruel? It wasn't really something that she could just go ahead and ask her six year old son. After she said goodbye to Tom, she pulled William up into her arms and in less than a second his face was completely buried into her red hair.
"Are you okay, Buddy?" Mulder pulled Scully's hair away so that he could see his son.
"I'm fine, Daddy." William held his arms out for Mulder to take him and carry him back to the table.
Nearly everyone was out of the dining room. Bill was still there on his second piece of pumpkin pie, talking to his mother, who was only on her first. Hers was covered in whipped cream, a Scully Family favorite.
"Daddy, Mommy, will you stay and eat with me?" William asked, looking from his parents to his plate. He only ate a little bit more than half.
"Sorry, baby. Daddy and I need to start cleaning up. If you eat all of your food you can be a part of the surprise with the whipped cream." Mulder smirked, obviously Scully hadn't have told him.
"Mommy, does Daddy know now too?"
"Yep." Scully kissed Mulder's cheek. "And he's not going to tell anyone." Her lips were still on his cheek as she spoke. "Isn't that right, Mulder?"
"Yep."
--
It was half time of The Steelers vs. The Browns Thanksgiving day football game. The Steelers were up by 7, thanks to Willie Parker running about a hundred yards! Anyways, as tradition in the Scully Family, their annual fun game for the kids, and participating adults was held.
Everyone put on their light sweaters and headed outside. Michelle and Tara brought out a blanket along with them so they could watch from the deck. Charlie Scully carried out nearly 18 whip cream canisters. All the participating Scullys were lined up on the grass. Charlie set the canisters down and blew a silver whistle that was on a red lanyard cord.
"Now, the rules are the same as they always are. But, seeing as William is all new to this I'll go over them. When spraying the whip cream on another person," William had to interrupt with his joy.
"We're spraying whip cream!?" Everyone had to giggle at the six year old's excited face.
"Yes, William," Charlie smiled. "Now, when spraying the whip cream on another person, you are allowed to hold onto them, but be gentle with the younger kids. Now there is absolutely no kicking, pushing, hitting, or slapping... Dana," There was another outburst of laughter. Everyone could remember Scully from last year when she slapped and kicked Bill from spraying any more white foam into her hair.
"Charlie!"
"Danes, you did it last year, and when you were a kid. I remember one time when we were just teens and..."
"Charlie, my little boy wants to play!"
"Okay, then... no leaving the yard, and no going into the street. Did I forget anything? Oh and everyone attack Mulder first... okay that was a joke." He added at last minute and threw his arms up in surrender once Mulder shot him a glare. "Everyone have their cans? Alright, on my whistle."
Once Charlie blew his whistle everyone was running around the yard in chaos. The only ones who sat out were Tara, Michelle, Bill (from knee injuries earlier that year), Maggie, Lakyn, and Skinner.
Scully was in the middle of tag teaming Charlie with her nephew Matthew when Mulder came up behind and caused Scully to fall in the grass.
"You okay?" He asked, now standing over her. She giggled and raised her can to push nozzle down, but he beat her to it. They were spraying it all over each other. That's when Tara called down to Mulder and Scully.
"Dana, Mulder, this is a family game!" The whole deck roared with laughter as Scully was pulled up by Mulder.
"Sorry, Hun," Mulder kissed the whip cream off her cheek before dashing off to help his giggling son from the tortures from Charlie.
"Get him Daddy!" William cheered for his Dad once he took Charlie down with his whip cream.
"Shit," Mulder mumbled once he was out of whip cream.
"Mommy! Daddy said a bad word!" William tattled and pointed to his Daddy running to the other whip cream cans so he could get his second.
"Mulder!" Scully scolded from across the yard, where she was getting tag teamed by the twins. She broke away from them and ran off to the youngest one who was playing, Daniel.
"Will, you tattled on me." Mulder faked his pout before taking William in one arm.
"What are we doing?"
"Getting Mommy!" Mulder charger off to Scully, and the whip cream battle between the two continued until they were all sprawled out on the grass. William's head was on Scully's stomach, and his legs were draped over Mulder's stomach. Mulder ruled onto his side in laughter, facing Scully, who had whip cream all over her face. He kissed her lips, and William giggled.
"Yummy." He mumbled, causing Scully to giggle just like William had. William then got off of his Mommy and onto his knees where he kissed his Mommy's cheek, tasting the whip cream.
"Daddy's right Mommy! It is yummy!" Scully and Mulder both looked at each other, and if William would've seen the look exchanged, the he would've known that they had something planned.
"Mommy , Daddy!" William screamed as his parents attacked him with kissed wherever the whip cream was. This continued for about ten seconds, that is until the whole whip cream fight was over.
Then William climbed on Mulder's back, and Mulder pulled Scully too her feet. Everyone looked ridiculous when they all gathered onto the deck. White froth was everywhere on everyone. Maggie, with Scully's digital camera, took the annual picture of the family after the fight. It was priceless. Then she got a few of Michelle kissing Charlie, who was completely covered in whip cream. He was probably the worst out of everyone. The twins looked hilarious, and William was just so cute and excited in his pictures. Then Maggie probably shot the best one of Mulder and Scully taken all day.
They were both giggling and Mulder had his lips against her cheek. He was beaming. He had just kissed some cream off of her. Then, Mulder took his can and sprayed a little on his lips and pressed them to Scully's. She giggled as their lips met while creating a mess. Mrs. Scully got that one on film as well.
After an hour or so everyone was inside the warm house, all in different clothing. Each had taken turns in the bathrooms to get the whip cream off of their face. As for the hair, well Scully was the only one with that issue really, and she was waiting for everyone to leave to actually take a shower.
When William had come down from his bedroom, after changing, he wouldn't leave Scully's side. He was next to her the whole time. Within minutes of being downstairs, he was in her arms, being carried around the house.
"William, don't you want to watch football with your Daddy?" Scully asked William, who was hoisted on her hip.
"Yeah, come on, Will." Mulder called from the couch. He knew Scully needed the rest. She had been carrying him for nearly 15 minutes.
"No, Mommy. I wanna be with you."
"Please, Will." Mulder asked his son, with a fake pout. "Let Mommy put you down."
"But I want Mommy to hold me." William's voice never reached full out whining, but it seemed close. "Please, Mommy?"
"Baby, I need a break." She apologized to her son. If it was up to her she wouldn't put him down.
"Mommy," he whispered, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Scully just said him down on the floor. "Noooo," He whispered a bit louder this time.
"Baby, please. I'll come get you once my break is over, okay?" William's blue eyes were tearing. It hurt Scully so bad. Why was he so hurt? Why did it seem like he really wanted her right at that moment?
"Okay," William whispered, and went to go sit by all his cousins next to the TV.
"Dana, can I speak to you for a second?" Mrs. Scully said. She was standing in the dining room. "You too, Fox." Mulder and Scully followed Mrs. Scully into Mulder's office. "This is a nice office Fox," Mrs. Scully complimented, as she admired the photos on the desk.
"Thank you."
"Your Welcome. Now, I'm worried about my grandson. Dana, honey, he was just so attached to you right there. I noticed today that he constantly wanted to be by you both. Is he always like that."
"He is."
"Well, quite frankly, I'm really worried."
"He'll grow out of it," Scully said quickly, trying to assure her mother.
"Dana, he's six years old."
"My son's fine, Mom."
"Dana... maybe you should go see someone."
"We already have an appointment with a doctor that Monica is friends with. She said he would help us. William's had nightmares, and we'll bring this up to him too."
"Will you call me after?" Scully nodded. "Thank you. I think Charlie and Michelle are taking me home in a bit. Where are our coats?"
"They're all in mine and Mulder's bedroom."
When Maggie had left, Scully fell into Mulder's arms. He was leaning up against his desk. He threw his arms around Scully.
"Now, I'm sure nothing's wrong with William. But, your mom's right... we should ask. It couldn't hurt." Mulder rubbed his hand up and down Scully's back. "Hey," Mulder lifted up Scully's chin with his index finger. "Today went fine, didn't it?" Scully nodded. "As soonas Anna said something, Tom took her away."
"I don't understand Tom. It seems like... he's a push over. He just seems so nice, and then there's her. But then again, he can't be nice after what he did to our son, Mulder." Mulder was surprised that Scully was actually talking about this without the tears.
"He was or is still... a drunk, Scully. That explains it. Tom's a nice guy when he's sober, but when he's not... he's ruthless." Scully sighed and pressed her face into Mulder's chest, "All those years as a criminal profiler.
--
Mulder, with a towel wrapped around his waist, carried Scully, who had a towel wrapped around her body, out from the bathroom. They giggled the whole way. When he set her down on the bed, he kissed her nose, and then turned to the dresser to find pajamas. Scully fell back on her back and tightly shut her eyes. Tomorrow was the appointment with Monica's friend, the psychiatric doctor that would help them.
