"Eat, drink and be merry!"
Ding dong! Knock, Knock!
Oh my gosh! Mulder our first guest has arrived!
Mulder got up from the couch and Scully rushed o the door beating Mulder but they both waited for one another to be ready so they would finally answer the door.
Ready?
Yea I think so. Oh shit!
What?
I forgot my earrings!
Oh Danes it's ok.
No I wanted to have them on already. You answer the door Fox; I'll go get my earrings.
Ding Dong! Knock, Knock!
Scully runs to her room while Mulder finally opens the door.
Hey! What's up Skinman?!
Agent Mulder...
Sorry. Happy Thanksgiving A.D. Skinner.
I'll settle for Walter and Happy Thanksgiving Fox.
Fox?
Well were outside of the work place agent, I just assumed we would like to make ourselves more comfortable with using our first names.
I see where you're coming from.
I brought this. Handing Mulder a bottle of wine.
Oh thanks. Wow this is really nice of you.
It's the least I could do.
As Mulder finally shuts the door and walks towards the family room and kitchen area Scully walks out of her bedroom.
Umm guys this is mine and Dana's boss Assistant Director Skinner.
Hello!
Hi!
Hello and please call me Walter.
Erica comes up with her son to say hi.
Hello I'm Dana's cousin Erica and this is my son John.
Well hello. Nice to meet you both.
Hi. Happy Thanksgiving!
Skinner laughs as does Eric and Mulder.
Happy Thanksgiving John.
Walter!
Dana! Hey, Happy Thanksgiving!
Both Scully and Skinner hug and Mulder just gives a puzzled look towards Erica as if they were both shocked by their close friendship and of course the whole first name thing made Mulder feel somewhat weird. He liked Skinner, and they had a good relationship but this was just different.
Oh Walter it's so nice that you were able to join us for Thanksgiving.
Well I wouldn't miss having Thanksgiving with Mr. and Mrs. Spooky for the world.
Everyone laughed.
Mr. and Mrs. Spooky? Hugh asked.
Yea it's what the other agents call these two when their not listening or around.
Hell they still call us that even if were standing right in front of them.
So true.
Well Walter why don't you just sit on the couch and relaxed and watch t.v. with Hugh and Mulder while Erica and I are in the kitchen.
Sure.
Oh wait bab.. I mean Mulder can you please take Skinner's coat and leave on top of the guest bed.
Sure. Mulder goes up behind Skinner and takes his coat.
I'll be right back. Mulder leaves and Skinner goes up closer to Scully.
You know Agent Scully I know that you and Mulder are a couple so it's ok if you want to call him "baby" or "sweetheart."
Scully laughs.
I was married once upon a time Agent Scully so I know how it is. I really don't care. Wow if I hear that around at work I will find it odd and the other agents will have a field day but here it's completely normal.
Scully laughs once again.
Ok. Thank you Sir.
Mulder comes out of the room and along with Skinner they all sit on the couch and watch some t.v.
Scully and Erica in the kitchen.
He seems nice Dana.
Yea he is. I mean this is basically Mulder and I seeing him in a different light but hey so far I like what I see.
Does he mind that two of his agents are dating and still working together?
No. I mean I guess either he saw it coming or he just see's how we have dealt with a lot and stuff or he just let the whole slide and just let things be.
Dana you and Mulder have been through so much. It's amazing how you guys went from two people on complete opposite sides to somewhat friends, to great friends and now lovers.
You know I never liked it when people called me and Mulder lovers. I still don't like it. It's like were only with each other for sex. You were a couple. He's my boyfriend, I'm his girlfriend. That's more than lovers.
Ok I'm sorry. Mulder is your boyfriend.
Thank you.
Dana honey isn't Mulder a little old to be called your boyfriend?
Scully laughs.
Well he's only 33 but I see where you're coming from. I guess Mulder is my "man friend."
Man friend? Erica says laughing.
Yea. He is not my boyfriend since he is no longer a boy or anything close to one. He is all man and he is all mine….
Go girl!
Both ladies laugh.
So that makes him my man friend.
I like it! It's cute.
Just then the door bell rang.
Ding Dong… Ding Dong
I'll get it! Mulder and Scully said in unison.
Both ran to the door like little kids.
Careful you two!
Geeze this is what I get for making them work together in the basement for seven years.
You make them work in the basement?
Both finally open the door and they see the Lone Gunmen.
Happy. (Langly)
Turkey. (Byers)
Day. (Frohike)
Mulder and Scully laugh.
Happy Thanksgiving guys!
It's so nice that you could join us today.
It was either this or eating t.v. dinners in front of the computer all night.
Well then we should feel all the more greatful that you chose to spend it with us instead.
I believe the word your looking for is Thankful huh Fox?
Ooo she called you Fox.
How sweet.
You guys do know were dating right?
Mulder please tell me they know.
Chill you two. We know we just never really seen this side of you guys before. I never heard her call you Fox.
Well can't say that again since I just called him Fox.
I guess not.
They walked in more and started taking their coats and like tow little kids Mulder and Scully took them to the guest room as the men introduced themselves to everyone.
Well this is lovely everyone already knows each other.
Mulder do you wanna make our announcement before or after dinner?
Umm I'm not sure. Whenever you feel like it is good for me.
I don't know Mulder. It's like I wanna tell them but then again I just want to keep it to ourselves for a bit longer.
Come on Scully you and the baby are perfectly fine. You are four months along now. You can't hide that baby bump anymore.
I guess your right.
Mulder and Scully came out of the room hand in hand and they decided to open up the wine that Skinner brought and poured glasses for everyone, except Scully. And with Mulder's help Scully passed them out to her guests. She even poured a small plastic cup of apple juice.
They passed out the glasses and chatted up a storm about what to expect tonight. They talked about the football game. Some shared some funny stories about themselves. Skinner added in some funny stories about Mulder and Scully. Some were surprised and some were just plain out laughing from all the stories they had shared.
Hell do they know the story about when you two went to Texas and Mulder supposable killed a vampire?
What?!
Mulder you didn't?
Oh please don't bring that up again.
We had a good time though.
Everyone laughs.
Yea cause you flirted with the sheriff.
Dana?
Hey he was cute!
Mulder looks at Scully with puppy dog eyes.
But not as cute as this man right here.
AWWW! (Everyone.)
Scully goes up and wraps her arms around Mulder's waist and they kiss.
What how you fell on the floor and started singing the song from Shaft.
Everyone laughs.
Mulder you know the song?
I actually don't remember that happening.
Well I do and trust me you know the song.
Dana what other stuff has happened.
Umm there was the time that Mulder started throwing pencils up against the ceiling.
I was bored!
Yea sure you were.
Oh what about the time you started complaining because you didn't have a desk.
She didn't have a desk?
Geeze Mulder.
Hey there wasn't any room for another one.
Oh come on! There is so room for another desk.
Suddenly the door bell rings once again.
Ding Dong… Ding Dong
Mulder that's gotta be Molly and Jeff.
Agent Robert's was invited?
Yes. Why Sir is there a problem.
No not at all.
Honey I'll go and pour two more glasses of wine while you go open the door.
Mulder goes and opens the door.
Hey Mulder!
Hi Molly! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving sweetheart! Oh here are the pies I offered to bring. I'm sorry we ran late sweetie but they took a little long to bake.
No problem. So this must be the main man in your life, Jeff.
Yes, it is. Jeff baby this is my very good friend, he's like my big brother. This big teddy bear here is Fox Mulder.
Mulder blushed and laughed.
Jeff extended his hand to greet him.
Hey Mulder. Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for inviting us.
No problem. Glad you two could come.
And don't mind how Molly is talking she is like a younger version of my mom. Always calling someone a cute name.
Tell me about it. I have worked with Molly for five years and Molly has not one bad thing to say about anybody.
Oh now boys your making me blush. Mulder sweetie can you please take these. I'm a little tired of holding them.
Oh right! I'm sorry Molly.
No problem honey.
They came in and Erica introduced herself and took their coats.
Scully came out and handed them their glasses of wines.
Hey Molly! Hello Jeff!
Hey hot stuff!
Scully laughs and she hands them their glasses.
Ok thanks Dana.
You're welcome.
Dana, this is my fiancé Jeff.
Fiancé huh?
Yea Jeff proposed last weekend.
Oh how sweet! Congrats you two.
Thank you sweetheart!
Thanks umm….
Oh I'm sorry baby. Jeff honey this is Mulder's partner/ girlfriend Dana Scully.
Well thanks Dana. Oh is it Scully? I just mean because Mulder is called by his last name I didn't know what you would be more comfortable with.
Scully laughs.
Dana is perfectly fine. Now come on and meet everyone else. Oh and Molly thank you so much for the pies. They smell delicious.
Your welcome honey.
Molly introduced Jeff to Skinner and Mulder introduced them to the Lone Gunmen and Hugh. They talked a little bit more until Scully finally called them all over to start serving themselves.
Everyone took their seats with Mulder sitting on one end of the table and Skinner on the other end. Scully was on Mulder's right side and beside her was Erica and John and Molly. While next to Skinner was Jeff, sitting across from Molly and the lone gunmen next to Jeff and next to them was Hugh.
Mulder made a cute speech on how he appreciated Scully so much for cooking the dinner which then made everyone want to clap for her and thank her, which of course made Scully blush. He also said he was thankful for having them be able to join him and Scully for Thanksgiving. After that Mulder carved the turkey and everyone was dying for their pieces.
Scully started cutting up pieces and she asked people to pass their plates forward to just shout out what part of the turkey they wanted and how much to serve.
Others like Erica and Molly helped serving the mashed potatoes and corn while Jeff and Hugh actually went around and started refilling everyone's glass. The lone gunmen kept track of passing around everyone's plates to Scully telling them who wanted what and they passed them right back.
After about 10 minuets everyone was set and eating dinner. For a brief moment Scully looked around at her guests. Her cousin cutting up her son's turkey into smaller pieces, Jeff and Molly holding hands for a brief second across the table. Skinner saying to Mulder how delicious the how meal was, the lone gunmen talking and stuffing as much food as they could into their mouths. And of course Mulder was just eating while every once in a while he just looked at Scully and smiled. At one point their eyes met and they kissed each other passionately right then and there.
Molly looked at them sweetly, Frohike seemed sad since he was still hooked on Scully, Langly ignored it, Byers thought it was sweet, Skinner thought he still needed to get used to it, Jeff wanted to kiss Molly as well, Erica giggled, Hugh smiled and John thought it was disgusting.
Everyone just ate, ate and ate. Scully's food was delicious. They all thanked her for the meal and all asked like little children if they could have some more and Scully just laughed and of course said yes. They all enjoyed each others conversations. Everyone blended in perfectly.
About an hour later it was time to clear the table and start passing out the smaller plastic plates for dessert but before that Mulder and Scully had an announcement they wanted to make.
Hey everyone before you all go off and start throwing away your plates and begging for a piece of pie there's something that Dana and me would like to say.
What is it guys?
Come on you two. Don't hold back.
Yea were starving here.
Everyone, Dana and I… well were going to have a baby!
What?!
Oh my God!
What did he just say?
I already knew!
A baby! Mommy she's having a baby!
Dana you didn't tell me anything!
Oh you two will have such a cute baby! Oh Jeff I want a baby!
Can we get married first? Congrats you two!
Agents I don't believe this!
Wow Mulder!
I didn't think you had it in you!
So are you guys happy?!
(Everyone) Yes!
Oh that's great!
When are you due?
April.
So that's why you've been so tired and have gained some weight. My baby cousin is having a baby.
Don't get so emotional Erica.
So Dana you must be what… four months along?
Right!
That's so wonderful! I mean we all thought that… well you know but hey you two beat the odds. You didn't except no for an answer and here you two are having a baby.
Everyone then got up and started hugging Mulder and Scully. Some even rubbed her stomach. Skinner was very proud, John was confused, Erica was crying, Molly was very energetic, Jeff was happy, Langly was surprised, Frohike was even more shocked and Byers was so content with how happy his friends were and how they were going to have a baby, and of course Hugh was happy once again but he was also rubbing in on how he knew before everyone.
They all then started slicing up the pies and pacing around plates with the pieces already on them. They ate at the table and John went over to the couch to watch some t.v. since he was done with his pie. Some had seconds and some even had thirds. They drank some wine and just talked and talked. They started moving around and started creating separate conversations like at one moment the men were all together talking and eating while the women ate like birds which means they were eating tiny bites and very slowly ( I do that! LOL) and they talked about the baby and about when they wanted to get married and they also talked about Molly's wedding.
Then Scully remembered she had her camera and wanted to take some pictures. When she ran to the room Molly got her purse and grabbed her camera as well.
Scully took pictures of all the men and women. Molly took pictures of her and Jeff and of Mulder and Scully. All the women took a picture while rubbing Scully's belly, then all the men took one while they pointed at her belly. Mulder and Scully took one while they kissed and Mulder patted Scully's belly. Scully and Erica took a picture. The three agents took a picture with Skinner. Then he took one with Mulder.
Basically a variety of pictures were taken. Then everyone gathered around and headed to the family room area. They talked about where Mulder and Scully would live. Hugh discussed how life in London is like. Molly and Jeff just talked about how their families within a year or two were going to little by little start moving to D.C. to be closer to them. Skinner just talked about how he would love to go on a vacation.
It was around 10:45 when Molly and Jeff decided that it was about time that they should head home considering they had decided to surprise their family by catching a last minute flight very early in the morning to Chicago which meant they had to head home now and try to catch some sleep. At around 11:15 Skinner along with the Lone Gunmen decided they should head home as well. Before they left they once again congratulated Mulder and Scully on the baby, took home some left over and headed home. And they of course thanked them for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.
Erica took John who was falling asleep to the room and both changed and headed for bed. Hugh started setting up the sofa bed and Mulder and Scully started cleaning up. They were so glad that all they had to wash was just a few trays and some glasses because everything else was plastic.
Mulder took care of throwing away all the plates and such while Scully did the dishes. Hugh helped out by putting the chairs back where they belonged and such. He also took down the decorations.
Around 20 minutes later everything was cleaned up, washed up and put away. Hugh said goodnight and headed straight for his sofa bed. Mulder and Scully turned off all the lights and headed for their room.
While in there Scully slipped off her dress and slipped on her silk knee length night gown. Mulder took off all his clothes except his boxers. They got in bed and instead of drifting right into dream land they just cuddled and spooned (like in Requiem.)
I think everyone had a good time.
Are you kidding? Everyone had a great time. And my dear you are the queen among us when it comes to cooking a whole Thanksgiving dinner.
Scully laughs.
I tried. I can't wait till next year when we go to my mom's and everyone is there and we will be with our beautiful baby boy or girl.
I can hardly wait. Have you decided on any names yet?
No not yet. Trust me baby I will pick a beautiful name for our baby.
Mulder kissed the side of Scully's head.
I know you will baby. I love you.
I love you too.
Happy Thanksgiving Mulder.
Happy Thanksgiving Scully.
They turned and gave each other a passionate kiss and both just drifted into a deep sleep.
So this ends their whole Thanksgiving fiasco! The next couple of chapters are going to be really interesting!! Some tears will be shed. Someone is going to pull some awful mind games, someone is going to leave, someone will be packing their bags, someone will make a decision about something they just cant decided on, and someone will discover what truly brings new beginnings.
Trust me the way Scully trusts Mulder, the next couple of chapters are going to be interesting!! I also need help with two future chapters! I would love it if one author would offer to help me with the wedding chapter and if another author offers to help me with the baby shower chapter!! C'mon I'm nice and fun to work with! LOL Please I need some help with these chapters!! Please and thank you!
Please review!! C'mon u know u want to!!
