A/N: SHORT SHORT SHORT!

I'm sorry! I have a cold (Eugh) and have had LOADS of homework! This sucks but I tried - I couldn't write the actual birth, I tried, and then failed. Spectacually.

Also, I had a great name, seriously it was! But then I remebered it was the name of a character in the show. Not one you'd want to name your kid after, for them anyways. So, I have a few ideas, but please PM or review with a name! PLEASE!

And finally, I helped out Mini Reyes with a fic, go read it, she's awesome, I'm almost awesome, the fic is pretty damn awesome :P Flooded - check it out :)

ENJOY! :D

Aftermath Chapter 25 - Hello Baby!

Mulder had practically broke down the door in his hurry to be at Scully's side. She was pale, but seemed more shocked than hurt.

"Oh my god, Scully!" He gasped

"What?"

"I have no idea what to do!"

"Take me to the hospital?" She suggested - keeping the eye roll out mainly because deep down she was just as scared as him.

"Yes. The hospital. Yes, let's go there. The hospital." He began to ramble

"Don't forget my bag. It's in the wardrobe."

"Okay. Bag, I'll go get that."

"Good." She soothed "I'll sit here."

"I'll be right back," He promised "I love you!" He added as he disappeared into their bedroom.

She allowed a small smile to cross her lips before a contraction hit her. She winced and placed a hand to her abdomen.

"I can't wait to meet you baby... Neither can daddy..."

Mulder dashed back into the room, her old overnight bag, which had seen almost every state of America at some point in their partnership, in his rather obviously sweaty grip.

"Do you, uh, want to wait or leave now..?"

"I've only had one contraction."

He gaped,

"Don't worry," She reassured him "They're far apart, we won't be getting an unexpected visitor soon."

"Thank god!" He murmured, running his hand anxiously through his hair.

They stood (she sat) in an awkward silence. Neither one of them was sure about what to say about their earlier incident.

"Would you hold me?" She asked softly, as if in fear of rejection.

"Anytime." He wrapped his arms around her gently and pressed kisses to her hair.

"I won't break." She promised.

He tightened his arms.

They sat in silence, both content in each other's arms, but also waiting for the next contraction.

"I'm scared..." She whispered

"So am I..." He confessed

"I know I shouldn't be, I'm a doctor! I know what happens. And anyhow, women have been doing it for hundreds of years!"

"That doesn't mean you shouldn't be a little bit apprehensive. It looks like it hurts on TV..."

She laughed softly "Thanks."

"Anytime," He pressed his lips to hers and smiled into her hair.

"Oh Christ!" She hissed, hunching forward

"Contraction?" He asked nervously

She nodded.

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap." He chanted.

"Bath." She spoke through clenched teeth "Run the damned bath. Now."

"On it." He practically ran from the room.

20 minutes later, Scully was laid in the bath, with Mulder sat on the toilet seat. This was pretty normal for them, he liked to be able to talk to her, so he did. All the time. She didn't mind, he had always been chatty, once he liked someone anyway.

"How bad does it hurt?"

"It feels like being shot in the stomach, then being stabbed there, then having salt and lemon rubbed into the wound. Times a million."

"Christ!" He ran his hands through his already messy hair.

"I did agree to this." She pointed out.

"I didn't."

"What?"

"No! No, not like that. I didn't realise you'd be in this much pain!"

"...What?"

"I thought it'd hurt a bit, but only for a little while, we'd go to the hospital and we'd get a baby. I didn't think it'd hurt you this much."

"I don't care Mulder. Not yet anyway. Remember; we get a baby at the end."

"Yeah..." He agreed shakily "I still don't like the pain part. Can't we go to the hospital now and get some drugs?"

"No."

"Seriously?"

"Deadly."
"Why?"

"Because it'll only get worse, I want drugs then."

"Okay. Do you want to go to the hospital yet?"
"No. Calm down, go get me some iced tea or something."
"Okay, sure."

She shook her head. He was the picture of worried dad already.

"You need to call our Mom's!" She shouted, from her position on the couch.

"Oh crap!" There was the sound of Mulder dropping the phone, then picking it back up.

"And remember!" She yelled "If they ask, I'm in the bath!"
"Got it!"

He emerged three minutes later, the phone in his hand.

"I'm sorry." He whispered "She's like some sort of machine!"

She rolled her eyes and took the phone "Hello Mom. No, I didn't not want to talk to you, I was just a bit tired... Yes Mom. No Mom. I'm sure Mom. I love you too." She handed Mulder back the phone.

"Sorry." He whispered again, dialling his own mother.

Half an hour later, she caved, and he drove her to the hospital, as fast as his FBI saloon would let him.

"Slow down!" She hissed, as another contraction hit her.

"But-"

"COOL IT!"

"...Fine." He slowed down a little.

"More."
"FINE!" He slowed to almost the legal speed.

"Thank you."

"How do you feel."

"Better."

"Really?"

"Yes." She promised

"Oh crap! Where do I park?"

"The car park... Over there!"

"Oh, yeah, of course!"

She rolled her eyes, and opened the door. He was round her side in an instant, helping her carefully out of the car.

"Thanks." She stood up straight and placed her hand on the small of her back, trying to relieve some of the pressure.

"Are you in pain?"

"Not at the moment."

"Okay."

"The contractions are still almost 10 minutes apart, calm the hell down."

"Yeah, sorry. I panic."

"I've noticed." She retorted dryly.

"Oh."

"Don't worry!" She exclaimed, grabbing his hand "Lets go inside."

18 hours later, she was taken into the birthing room. 3 hours after that their baby was born.

"Congratulations, you have a baby boy!" The doctor announced

"Dad, do you want to cut the cord?" A nurse asked him

"W-what?" Mulder stammered, looking down to his wife then back to the nurse.

"Go," Scully whispered

He nodded, and walked over to where the nurse was holding the baby. He took the scissors handed to him and cut where he was shown.

"We've got to go clean him up," Another nurse said, whisking him away.

"Mulder, keep an eye on him please,"

"I will Scully." He watched as they weighed and washed their son, then handed him to him. He stared into familiar blue eyes. He was transfixed.

Mulder carefully placed the baby in Scully's arms, staring at her tired, but blissfully happy expression.

"He's Scully, all ours!" His voice was tinged with pure wonder.

"I know," She grinned up at him, her smile going from ear to ear.

"Did Ellen get here yet? Or the Gunmen?"

"Yeah, they all are,"

"Can we stay on our for a bit first?"

"Yeah, whatever you want." They wheeled her back into her room, and Mulder climbed up into bed with her "It's a shame we can't have hospital sex this time."

"Mulder! You'll scar him!"

He laughed "Sorry baby," He pressed a kiss to her cheek "Sleep Scully, you must be exhausted, we can look at him some more later,"

"And names..." She sighed as her eyes slid closed.

"Yeah, names," He agreed, happier than he could ever remember with his new family.

A/N2: Sorry! Just wantewd to add, I NEED NAMES! MY OTHER ONE SUCKS! :D
