"Mulder," scully groaned. She slumped back against the wall, the toilet next to her, which she had just flushed. She wore a powdered blue tank top and shorts. Her hair was a mess, basically she looked horrible. Tears ran down her cheeks, as gingerly put her hand down onto the cold tiled floor to stand up. She stood up slowly, cautiously, aware that by the way she was feeling, that she could fall down at any moment.
Mulder raced in, his tie around his neck, still untied. He took his wife by the hands a brought her up carefully and slowly.
"I'm not having you go to work, Scully." He pushed a strand of her hair back behind her ear. She sniffed, nodding. "And I'll go in late. I want to be with you."
"Mulder," She tried laughing a bit, but it ached her even more. Her stomach was twisting and turning. She felt bile rise to her throat, and like her stomach, she turned to the toilet. Mulder rubbed her back, trying to put her at ease. He hated seeing her like this. It was never this bad with William. William had never made her that ill. When she finished emptying her stomach Mulder gave her a dampened wash cloth. "Don't be silly, Mulder. You can go in as normal. I'll be fine. Plus, my mom will be here with me." She reassured him, grabbing his hand, giving it a light squeeze.
"Scully, I'm calling your mother right now. I'm telling her that she can come over two hours later. I want to make sure you're okay. Don't try to stop me. I'm going to call the academy. I'm letting them know that you can't come in. I'm telling them that I will be late. You can't go in with your condition."
"I don't have a condition, Mulder," She butted in, looking away.
"Dana," his tone was now even more serious. "You're shaking. This didn't happen last time you were pregnant."
Fear consumed Dana Scully's mind. He had noticed it too. He noticed that the way she was feeling was abnormal for pregnancy. Perhaps, the child was abnormal too? No, she would not think it. She would not put such a horrible idea into her brain.
"This baby is going to be fine." It was more like she was trying to reassure herself, not Mulder. Tears that were once subsided, held to her tear ducts, broke free. Mulder wiped them away and kissed her forehead. "Mulder," She trailed off. He looked at her, worried when she didn't finish. She was searching for words to express the way she was feeling, her 'condition'. "I'm cold." Mulder let his arms snake around her body, holding it lightly, careful not to disrupt her stomach.
"Do you think you're ready to leave the bathroom?" He said in almost a whisper, glad that she didn't just faint on him right there, instead of finishing her sentence.
"Yeah," She turned out of his arms, placing her hands on the sink. "Let me just... uh brush my teeth." Mulder helped her out. He grabbed the crest toothpaste and squeezed it's minty contents onto the bristles of her toothbrush.
"I'm going to go make sure William is asleep still. I'll be back in to help you into bed."
"Mulder, it's fine. I think I'll be alright."
"Thinking and knowing are two different things. You once told me that Scully." He kissed her hand and left the bathroom quietly to check on their son.

When Mulder arrived back in the room, Scully was cautiously making her way over to the bed. Mulder beat her too it and pulled back the covers for her. Scully gently slipped in between the covers and allowed Mulder to cover her back up. Tears slowly crept out from the corners of her eyes. Mulder got into bed, on top of the covers behind her.
"How's William?" Scully had to ask, taking her mind off of the way she was feeling.
"Still sleeping, he's pretty damn tired from his play date with the neighbors last night." Mulder whispered, softly. "But your mom said she'll be over at the normal time. She offered to watch William so you can rest and so I can be with you." A lump formed in Scully's throat. She decided to tell Mulder her fears, confide in him.
"Mulder," I'm scared." She admitted worriedly.
"About what," That's when he realized. "Oh," he said at his sudden realization. "Scully, I think you and I are both worried. You've been worried since you found out about the pregnancy, and so have I."
"Mulder, this just isn't normal!" Scully silently yelled, now crying a little faster. "I have to see my doctor. We can trust David Johnson. He's my cousin. I just want our baby to be okay."
"All parents are worried about their unborn children. It's natural." Deep down Mulder knew that they weren't your average couple.
"Mulder, Are you kidding me?!" Scully gripped her stomach and painfully yelled. "You know that we're not your average couple!" Scully moaned at a mild abdominal pain.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm just cramping up." Mulder's fingers interlocked with Scully's on her abdomen.
"I want to take you to the doctor's... today." Scully bit her lip and nodded. "I love you, William, and our little one inside of you."
"We all love you too, Mulder, so much."
"Daddy," Escaped the lips of a thirteen month old William, from in his bedroom.
"I'm going to get our son." Mulder spoke softly into Scully's ear. She hummed a yes.
--
Mulder came back through the bedroom door with William. Now at thirteen months he was clearly the child of Mulder and Scully both. It was obvious. He had a full head of brown hair, Mulder's nose, Scully's eyes, and Scully's bone structure.
Scully gave William and Mulder both a weak smile.
"Mommy's not feeling well, Willie," Mulder told his son as he attempted to wiggle out of his father's arms. William, now on the floor, tried peeping over the bed to see the tired woman laying there, his mother.
"Hey baby," Scully propped herself up on her elbow and reached out for her son's soft hand. After feeling his mother's cold hands, William pulled his hand away and raised both arms up. He wanted to be put with his mother. There, he gave her a kiss and lay with her. It was as if he understood the words 'Mommy's not feeling well.'
--
About an hour later Mrs. Scully arrived. Scully told Mulder that she was already feeling a little better. She forced him to go to work. He would not leave her side. But she kept asking and asking. Finally, he agreed, but only on one condition. She had to call if something went wrong. It was simple. She was even beginning to feel better.
"Please, baby," He put his hands on her shoulders, while she was still on the bed. "Please, tell me if anything goes wrong. I love you."
"I'll be fine Mulder; we'll be fine. I love you." Mulder kissed Scully's cheek and left the apartment, but not before being stopped by Mrs. Scully.
"Dana will be fine. We'll call if anything is wrong. I called my brother's son, David. He said that you two can go in at six. It's down in Mercy Hospital. He's having her files transferred." Mulder gave her a hug and whispered a thank you into her ear before leaving the house.
It was at four PM when Scully was able to walk around the house. She went downstairs to see her mother and William. William cheered for his mother and clapped his hands while in the play pen.
Scully spent a few minutes downstairs with her son and mother. Then, the cramps returned.
"Are you okay Dana?" Mrs. Scully asked just as Scully's hand flew to her abdomen.
"I..I just have really bad cramps again."
"Why don't you go upstairs and lie down. Call Fox. Do you need my help?"
"No I'll be fine."
--
"Mulder?" Scully weakly said into the receiver as the other end said hello.
"Hey beautiful, is everything going okay should I be worried?"
"Well, I... I'm getting those cramps again. They're actually hurting even more." Mulder didn't know what o say. He could hear the pain in Scully's voice. It hurt him too.
"Baby, I'll be home in about an hour. Do you want me to come now? We're supposed to see the doctor, your cousin at six. Are you going to be okay?"
"I think I'll be fine. David told me if the cramps worsen just to try and get some sleep until we see him."
"Then you get some sleep. When you wake up hopefully I'll be there with you."
"Mulder, I love you. God, do I love you."
"You get some sleep, Dana. I love you too."
"Bye," she weakly whispered and hung up.
--
Scully woke to horrible sharp pains in her abdomen. All she was thinking about was the baby. Scully pulled back the covers weakly and just as she threw her legs over the side of the bed she noticed deep red all over the sheets. She gasped in horror, and her hand flew over her open mouth. Despite the horrible cramps, she stood up quickly. Perhaps she stood up too quickly because then she got all light headed and fell down to the floor.
Mulder, excited to see his wife, raced to the bedroom. When he opened the door he immediately fell to his knees and scooped Scully up into his arms.
"Maggie! Call the ambulance! Dana fainted!" Mulder called out to his mother in law, never taking his eyes off of the woman in front of him. "Dana? Dana? Dana, sweetie?" Mulder whispered as he brushed the hair out of his wife's face. Tears splashed down onto her cheeks.
"Mulder," She mumbled weakly, "the baby."
"Shh, Scully," He pressed a kiss to her cheek as he held her. "We're getting an ambulance and taking you to the hospital. You're going to be fine. The baby is going to be fine." Mulder's voice was on the verge of cracking. He knew what had happened. They were losing their baby.
