By the way, Merry Christmas! Please review this chapter. I hope you like it.
Chapter 11.
Once they were in bright and sunny California Mulder and Scully climbed into their rental car, after throwing their luggage. It was a shiny black Lexus convertible waiting there just for them when they arrived. They drove off to the hotel that they would be staying at, Golden Star Hotel. It was a short ride of only 45 minutes. It was short, compared to the other car rides they have went on together. Scully, slept and took pictures during the ride. Also, she daydreamed. She couldn't control her daydreaming lately. Mulder just drove, with the occasional smile at his sleeping beauty, his now wife.
Once they arrived at the gigantic hotel building over-looking the ocean view, Mulder pulled in front of the building to let Scully out, and get their bags from the trunk. The bell boy assisted Mulder with putting his bags on the carrier. (A/n: I don't know the name of those things that carry the bags.) Mulder took the car around to a parking spot as Scully walked into the hotel lobby. She pulled of her brown sunglasses, revealing her piercing blue eyes. She was gorgeous although she was three months pregnant and her hair was completely windswept from the gentle ocean breeze. After receiving two keys to the marital suite Scully went over to one of the many couches and leaned back and relaxed. Her bags were probably already in the room, she just had to wait for Mulder. Another daydream unconsciously over swept her mind and took control. In this one she was in a kitchen washing dishes watching a man and child in her backyard…
The man was tall, handsome, smiling, and undoubtedly Mulder. The boy looked about three, and a mixture of her and Mulder, their son no doubt. The boy, her son, was learning how to play baseball for the first time. Mulder placed the ball, on the T and told his son to hit it. The toddler, swung his yellow plastic bat as hard as he could, hitting the T, knocking it down, and he also hit his father in the shin. Scully by now, was walking out of the backdoor onto her deck watching her two favorite men. Once her foot patted against the wood, her son had hit the ball across the yard. Her face lit up as soon as she saw Mulder pick him up and spin him around congratulating him the whole time.
"Mommy, Mommy," He said and kicked to be let down as soon as he saw his mother. Mulder set him down gently and the boy ran up to Scully full force with his father following him the whole way. "Did you see, mommy!? Did you!? I hit the ball just like Daddy taught me!"
"Yes, he did Mommy. Our little Will is quite the baseball player." There was that name again. By now Scully was sure she was having a boy.
"I did see Will. You're amazing. Do you want to show Mommy again?" She picked him up into a hug and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Do you?"
"Yes," he cheered. As soon as Scully had put him down onto the surface of the deck, William ran straight to the ball and then to the T and bat.
Mulder stood next to Scully with his arm around her. Her right hand was on his chest as they watched their son set up the T.
"Go ahead, Will!" Mulder yelled from the deck. He hit the ball again, his parents cheered, and ran up him cheering the whole way. Suddenly the day dream ended, and all Scully could hear was her name being called, it was Mulder.
"Scully, Scully…" Mulder said gently shaking her awake.
"Yeah," She said getting up, apparently too quickly; she fell back down. Luckily Mulder got a hold of her.
"You okay?" He asked in his worried tone, wearing his worried face which he had showed to Scully when they were one a roof of a building years ago.
"I'm fine, Mulder. I just got up too quickly." She got up for a second time. This time she was successful. He put his arm around her while they walked all the way to the elevator.
Once the elevator opened on the top floor they saw a long hallway with a door at the end. Undoubtedly their room. The door read "Marital Suite" on the front.
"Well here we go," Mulder said picking Scully up into his arms, bridal style. He walked down the hallway towards the door, with his smiling wife in his arms.
"Wait!" Scully just remembered something. She opened her camera, turned it on, and then placed it on a side table in the hallway. Then, she checked the view it was getting. It was perfect.
"Ready?" Mulder asked, but before Scully could answer she was back in Mulder's arms the same way. He walked toward the door and allowed Scully to put the card in and then open the door with her foot. It was picture perfect the way this all happened. And what was also picture perfect was this suite. Mulder ran back out to get the camera which was left on the table. He picked Scully back up where he had left her and they filmed the whole suite. Once through the door you could clearly see the living room. There was a white suede wrap around couch with a glass coffee table in the middle. Above all this was a diamond glass chandelier. Behind the living room was a balcony overlooking the ocean view. Two the left of the entrance was the kitchen. It was nice and big as it would be in a normal house. Just behind that and next to the living room was the dining room. There was a long table with a beautiful heart center piece in the middle. Also, in the dining room, wedged up against a corner was a bar, which was fully stocked with champagne and whine. To the right of the living room was the bedroom. When they walked in they were completely awestricken. There was a huge king sized bed, white a fluffy white down comforter. The sheets and pillows were red. Right above the bed was a huge heart shaped mirror. Also in the room they had a two dressers, a walk in closet, and a little sitting area. Of course, they also had a balcony with a wonderful ocean view. There was more of the hotel room to see, but that they would see later. Mulder set the camera on the dresser, and turner it off. Scully was still in his arms. He padded across the room to the bed and set her down gently on the edge of it. She swung her legs over so that she was now laying on it.
"Mulder, I couldn't be happier," She admitted to him. He smiled and crawled on top of her.
"You know, I love you more than anything."
"Mulder," Her hand caressed his cheek. "I know. I know, without you telling me. I love you too."
--in the morning--
The sunlight streamed through the opened curtains of the room, making Mulder awaken.
"Scully," Mumbled Mulder as he rolled over in the bed. The blankets were wrapped around him and only him. Scully was nowhere to be found in the bedroom. Mulder, now noticing that Scully was no longer in the bed with him, slid out of the sheets, and pulled on his pants. "Scully?!" He called out while walking across the room to the slightly ajar door. He didn't see her anywhere. He moved around the suite calling out her name, and getting no response every time. He soon began to come into a mild panic. She must have been very silent because she crept up behind him and put her hand around his waist. He spun around on his heels and pulled her into a hug.
"Mulder, have you seen the rest of this place? It's amazing!"
"I'm afraid I haven't. I just woke up. What time is it?" He asked checking for his watch, which he then remembered taking off.
"It's twelve. Have you eaten yet? I've been throwing up all morning and-" Mulder caught her face in his hand.
"Wait, you were throwing up? Are you feeling any better?" He was serious and worried.
"Oh I'm fine," She tried to laugh it off. "It's just that morning sickness. I am more than excited for it to go away. You have no idea." She moved out onto the balcony, where the ocean breeze was coming from. "I was thinking that today we could take it easy and go take a walk on the pier and then maybe go to the beach. You know, we have a heart shaped gold Jacuzzi in our bathroom? Oh, and I want to check out the rest of this place." Mulder just continued to stare at his wife's beauty as the wind blew her hair back. She was wearing a yellow short sleeved shirt that just fit over her belly. She refused to wear maternity clothes until she actually needed it.
"Wait are you feeling better," Mulder asked, repeating his worried tone, as he cupped Scully's cheek in his right hand.
"Mulder," She smiled and slapped him light-heartedly in the chest. "I'm fine. This should lighten up in a bit. I just hope it doesn't ruin our honeymoon." He kissed her on the cheek.
"Nothing can ruin this, Scully. Now, I'm going to take up your offer on taking a walk on the pier."
"Okay, well you go get dressed- and I'm gonna-"He cut her off.
"You're going to rest on the balcony," She stared up at him for a moment. It was almost as if she was lost and forgot all that was happening. She continued staring for approximately five more seconds.
"Scully?" He broke the silence, and then she pushed through and ran toward the bathroom. He was on her heels behind her.
Once she knelt down at the toilet he was right at her side, holding her hair back and rubbing her back. Once she had finished she got up slowly with help from Mulder. She fell right into his arms, and he held her.
"Mulder, I'm fine," She stuttered. He wasn't going to fight her so he kissed her right temple and allowed her to brush her teeth. On the meantime he got dressed. Mulder told himself to stop worrying about Scully and that all this stuff that was happening to her was perfectly normal. Still, he could not help but to feel some sympathy towards the one he loved and it hurt him to see her like that. When she emerged from the bathroom, dabbing her face with a wet towel, she sat on the bed, until Mulder turned around.
"You ready to go, now? Or do you want to wait a while Scully?"
"Let's just go now. I probably just need fresh air that's all." He led her out the door with his hand on her lower back to guide her out.
They took a walk on the pier and talked of various things. They stopped at a cute pizza place for lunch. The whole afternoon was littered with cute moments. Like after they finished their pizza at "Fiora's".
"I'll be back," Mulder left Scully at the table in the small restaurant as he headed off to the restroom. Scully turned her head in all directions as she admired the lovely still life paintings and Italian landscapes on the wall. Soon, her eyes became fixated on one point, the soft serve machine. She picked herself out of the chair and headed over to the machine making the low humming noise. She grabbed a cone and immediately filled it up with vanilla frozen yogurt. As soon as she turned around she started walking towards Mulder, who to her surprise was wearing a goofy grin. She cocked an eyebrow and stood behind her chair staring back at Mulder, who was also standing behind his chair as well. Although, she tried her hardest to maintain a serious face, her lips soon formed into a smile, which then showed her teeth not a second later.
"Now, did you bring enough ice cream for the rest of the class Mrs. Mulder?" Mulder asked the laughing woman in front of him, while thinking how weird, though perfect, it sounded to call her Mrs. Mulder.
"Actually, Mr. Mulder, it's not ice cream." Luckily there were no other people in this restaurant, and the employees were in the back.
"A rice tutti fruity cream sickle?" Mulder asked, while putting the check on the counter.
" Actually, no. And before it was a rice tofutti dream sickle." She shook her head before continuing on. "You were close though, Mulder. I'm surprised you've remembered that much."
"Are you kidding me? I remember a lot from that particular day Agent Scully," Mulder said before holding his hand out to Scully so they could leave. "How, we hurled cliché's at each other, a mild flirty moment we once shared. How I dove on you to get that ice—I mean dream sickle." She laughed. "Oh, and teaching you how to play baseball. It's one of my favorite memories."
"Me too, Mulder. But actually, I have a confession. I already knew how to play baseball."
"I figured." He smirked at Scully. "Hips before hands…" A huge smile spread across her lips and she felt like a teenager again; the butterflies in her stomach had butterflies.
"I loved that. Oh and Mulder… to answer your question, It's frozen yogurt." He stopped walking and flashed another smirk towards Scully, who took another lick of her yogurt.
"Well," She knew what was coming and a huge smile made its way to her lips. "I scream you scream we all scream for frozen yogurt!" She tried to make and escapes by running away, but he caught her in his arms to quickly. She spun around on her heels.
"Okay, then." She said while spinning on her heels. Then, to Mulder's surprise she shoved the cone onto Mulder's lips, making a mess.
"Dana Mulder," He fake gasped and she giggled. She unexpectedly leaned up on her tippy toes and kissed of every bit of the white substance before tossing the cone in the nearby trash. They walked on back, in the direction of their hotel, and while walking back hand in hand something had caught Mulder's eye. It was something that he knew would make Scully remember their first night in California. He knew he had to embellish the evening to make it even more special. As they walked back, he conjured up a plan in his mind how to do this in a matter of hours.
