They laid there for a while until they got up to take a shower. When she was getting out she heard the familiar whines of William, he was waking up. She moved then to check on him, in her towel. He seemed ok, she smiled down at him and touched his cheek gently, he was kicking his little legs "Hi baby.." she whispered and smiled down at him, "you hungry?" She asked softy and picked him up, patting his little butt. "Ohh pooeee.." she teased, he evidently needed changing.
Mulder walked out of the bathroom after her and smiled a little "Is it that bad?" He asked her softly "We should give him a bath before going out" he suggested.
She snorted a little and made a face "ohhhh its stinkyyy.." she said in a funny voice right in Williams little chubby face which made him giggle.
He went to put his bag over the bed, to get some clean clothes to put on, smiling because William was giggling, that baby made it all worth it.
She smiled and nuzzled his nose then blew a raspberry on his chest, as she carried him to the bathroom, which made him giggle loudly, "someone needs a bath!"
Mulder started to get dressed, he was feeling much better actually. They just needed to keep moving until they find the perfect place to have a quiet life, away from all attention.
She was ok, she was so much more relaxed now her and Mulder had made up and that they were in a safe enough place. She knew they had to keep moving however. She ran the bath and undressed William and chucked his dirty diaper. She put him in the water and he was babbling away, and hitting the water with his little hands. "Yeah!" She said to him lovingly, as he smiled up at her, "Mulder is there some bath toys there in the bag?" She called.
He put on a clean pair of boxers and pants, then checked in the bag for any bath toys, there was just a floaty frog, the rest were obviously left forgotten in the bathroom of her place, in DC. "Just a froggy" he said and walked with it in his hand and handed it to baby William, smiling at him "Here baby, you just have this one here, but daddy will get you more later" he promised.
She melted then as Mulder came over and handed it, she smiled at William and at his little face as he held the froggy then bounced it on the water, playing.
Mulder chuckled and then looked at her, smiling still "We're good" he said softly.
She smiled some and reached to wash him in the bath, feeling really happy, as relaxed as could be in that situation they were in. She realised she still had just her towel on, so she stood up "can you finish up here?" She asked Mulder softly, she needed to get dressed.
He nodded a little "Sure" he said, focusing only on the baby then.
She went to go get dressed then, into her jeans and blouse, she put on some boots and got a cardigan as it looked like the sun was out, but it was still probably going to be a little chill in the air, seeing as the time of year.
He let William play for a while longer, then he took him out of the tub and wrapped a towel around him, holding him to his chest as he kept talking nonsense to the baby.
She was packing the bags as she frowned and chuckled a little when she heard Mulder, she actually couldn't really figure out what he was saying to William, she loved to see them so cuddly though "what are you saying huh?" She asked, amused.
Mulder let out a soft chuckle, he had been caught "Boy's stuff" he joked and put William on the bed "Now we gonna get you dressed puppy, yeah, yeah" he said to the baby, smiling, he sounded silly actually, but it was the tone people used to talk to babies, he couldn't help it.
She chuckled more, amused "boy stuff?"
Mulder laughed softly and nodded, playing with William's feet after he put on his diaper "You're a mommy, you wouldn't understand, right puppy?" He asked the baby amused, William of course just babbled away.
She watched them, and the way they were interacting, it make her heart melt so much, she felt so in love with them both, as a unit, "ok.." she said softly and zipped up the bag, her stomach rumbled "are we gonna get moving? I could eat.."
Mulder nodded, he was dressing the baby "Mommy's hungry, mommy wants to hurry so we can go and have breakfast somewhere, you hear that?" He asked William and the baby reached up with his hands "Mmmaaammaammaaaamm"
She smiled warmly then, and walked over to them, so she could stand next to Mulder, "yes baby that's right, I'm here" she said lovingly and chuckled a little as he continued, he was adorable.
William pouted then and whined a little "Mmaaammmaammm" he said again, reaching for her as Mulder finished dressing him "You hungry? Yeah.. You could eat too huh baby"
She pouted a little then and looked down at him, she knew that cry, he wanted her, "ohh sweety.." she cooed and bent to pick him up then as Mulder finished, cradling his head, "what's the matter baby?" She asked him softly and cuddled him, kissing his forehead.
William immediately went for her breasts, so Mulder chuckled and shook his head a little, then moved to get his socks and shoes on "I'm thinking we should leave our stuff here, until we have more or less figured out where are we going next" he said to her.
She hummed and undid her blouse, moving back to the bed to sit on it again, he was so hungry he seemed to want to eat her blouse, "hey hey, its ok" she soothed as he latched on, desperate. Her stomach rumbled some more and she frowned and groaned, she was absolutely starving. Breast feeding made her so damn hungry. "Ughhh... man.." she complained and rested her head against the headboard, as he fed.
Mulder stood up and put on a clean shirt, turning to look at them "I know, you're both hungry, there's only so much I can do" he said smiling a little "We'll get breakfast soon"
She whined a little and was so, so hungry "he's ok he's got his breakfast.."
He nodded a little "Yeah, I gotta keep the two of you well fed and satisfied though" he teased her, smiling a little more, then the knock on the door distracted him, so he frowned and put a finger over his lips, just in case, they needed to be quiet.
That made her sit to attention then, and her heart started to race, she was not expecting that, she forgot all about her hunger and held William close, remaining quiet.
He went to the door and stood close to it as there was another knock "Yeah?" He asked and the young man who carried their bags the night before spoke from the other side "Your car for our restaurant is available now, sir" the young man said in a forced English, so Mulder opened a little bit and the man extended the card for him "Have a good day" he said and left. Mulder closed the door and showed her the card, smiling a little "We're even closer to having breakfast now" he jokes.
She frowned a little and felt her stomach rumble again "where are we going?"
He read the card then "Downstairs" he said softly "Then we'll see, what we can find about the city and its surroundings, what place would be best for us to.. Settle down"
She nodded and looked up at him, "you think it's safe enough to eat in the restaurant?" She asked quietly.
He shrugged a little "We can go anywhere else, wherever you feel more comfortable" he said as he walked to sit on the bed with them.
She nodded and looked back down at William, "We can try it, see what its like"
He leaned in to kiss her cheek "Okay" he said softly and looked down at the baby "Are you done? Because we're hungry too" he said smiling.
She smiled a little and looked at William, he was all innocent, suckling away, looking up at his Dad, he was taking his time. Scully sighed.
He bent to kiss the baby's forehead, then his cheek "I love you" he told him softly and kissed his forehead again.
She melted then, as he did that, she really loved it when Mulder was so close to the baby, she hummed and rested her head against him.
He smiled a little at the baby and looked up at her again, with soft eyes.
She smiled a little at him and went in for a kiss.
He looked down at her lips and cupped her cheek with his hand as she came closer and their lips met, boy was he in love with that woman. He really was.
She closed her eyes as she came in closer and they kissed tenderly, she was holding the baby, so it was nice and loving, it was really nice.
He smiled against her lips and caressed her cheekbone with his thumb "I'm so, so, so in love with you" he whispered and chuckled, he's never felt like it before.
She smiled some and tilted her cheek more into his hand gently "I love you too" she whispered
He moved his arms to wrap around her, to be closer, but William didn't like that so much, so he reached out and placed his little hand against Mulder chest and whined a little "Mmmaaaammaamm"
She frowned a little at the sound, he made her melt every time he said Mama, she looked down and pulled back, "what baby..?" She asked softly.
Mulder pulled back too and looked down at his son "So I can't hug her when she's with you? You need to learn how to share buddy" he said amused.
She raised her eyebrows a little, she didn't realise he was doing that, but then she saw it, she thought it was adorable "oh that's adorable.." she chuckled and smiled at him, William then smiled at her and babbled away, still touching Mulder's chest.
Mulder chuckled and shook his head "So possessive, I don't know where you get that from" he said and moved to stand up "We should get going, family" he said softly.
She smiled and caressed his little head, then moved to get him ready, standing up, "we gonna go get some food huh?" She said to William who was high on milk now, he was smiling away, looking blissful. She turned him into his front over her shoulder to burp him as she stood, patting his back.
He grabbed her jacket and walked to the door, waiting for them, he was excited to get going, he couldn't wait to find a proper place for them all to start over.
She remembered then that they were leaving the bags there, so she walked calmly to him, holding William to her.
He placed a hand on the small of her back and opened the door, walking outside to the corridor with them "Do you know anything relevant about this country that could help us find a place faster or at least help us to know where to start looking for a place?"
She hummed a little and shook her head "no, sorry.." she said softly, "but we need to get out of the city.."
He nodded a little, they both agreed on that. "Yeah, we should get a map" he said and pressed the elevator button.
She nodded as they walked "god I'm so hungry"
He chuckled softly and pulled her closer as they stepped inside the elevator "You said that already"
She nodded and leant against him "I mean it" she said, frowning a little, it actually hurt. Breastfeeding made her so damn drained and hungry. Plus, they had had some intense sex.
He kissed her head, then kissed William's head and smiled a little when he reached to touch the collar of his shirt "We're eating at the hotel restaurant then?" He asked her softly.
She nodded and turned her face into his chest, "yes" she groaned, her stomach was about to burst.
He put his arm around her middle and kissed her head again, William pouted a little when he saw his mother doing that "Aw, mommy's hungry baby, give mommy a kiss, like this" he said and kissed Scully's head "Now you" he said to William and the baby leaned in and pressed her baby lips and tongue against her jaw, that was the best he could do "Good boy" Mulder praised, amused.
She melted so much then, she hid on purpose, cause she wanted Mulder to teach him, she smiled warmly then turned to kiss William on his nose after he gave her a wet kiss "oh thank you baby" she praised him softly and nuzzled in his baby cheek.
William showed his teeth in a huge baby grin and made Mulder laugh softly "Yeh, you a good boy" he said touching his nose with his fingertip as the elevator doors opened and he led them outside.
She smiled lovingly at him, he was so adorable. He was absolutely perfect to her.
They walked out the followed the signs to the restaurant, she was so hungry. She was a little anxious as they walked in but they found a table in the corner, and sat down there, out of the way of everything.
The waitress brought their menus and he asked her to stay, he didn't need much time to know what he wanted, so coffee, of course, OJ and eggs.
She ordered fast, the whole works. Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and fruit.
The waitress nodded and as she left, a waiter came over with a baby chair and placed it in the empty spot between their chairs "Thank you" Mulder said, smiling a little and stood up to get William to sit there.
She smiled a little as the waiter came to help, they were really nice, they were obviously used to a busy tourist season, so they seemed to be loving the fact they were there, as they seemed quiet at the moment.
He placed William on the baby chair and smiled a little "There you go puppy, nice huh?" He asked and chuckled, the baby showed his teeth again because it was a new chair, not like the one he had at home.
She smiled at William and took his little hand and kissed it, she was so in love with that boy "hey, you know, he's gonna learn lots of life lessons here.." she said, trying to be positive.
Mulder looked up at her and frowned a little "What do you mean?" He asked softly.
She turned to looked at Mulder, she was serious "the sea, the beach, the culture.." she started, it was endless, "its gonna be good for him" she said softly.
He smiled a little then "Frohike would be pleased to hear you saying all this" he commented "I'm sure this place was his idea"
She raised her eyebrows a little, and tilted her head, "you think?"
He nodded and thanked the waitress with a nod as she brought their plates and drinks "I'm telling you.." He said softly "I kinda thanked him properly in anticipation though" he said with a chuckle and reached to take a sip from his orange juice.
She frowned then, interested and amused "what do you mean?"
He looked down then, amused and shrugged a little "I uh.. I told him over the phone he could keep my VHS collection and magazines" he said and put the glass down to start eating.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes then, but she was amused "he thought I would like it here?" She asked then, and started eating immediately.
He shrugged a little "He probably did, I don't know how though" he said with a shrug as he chewed "He's always had a crush on you"
She frowned a little then and snorted, as she ate, amused, that was so funny "yeah whatever"
He looked up at her then and raised his eyebrows slightly "No, really" he said and nodded a little before he took another bite.
She arched one eyebrow, and carried on eating, she thought that was hilarious "he's a sweety.."
He hummed a little and nodded some "He said I needed to make you happy, for the two of us" he said softly and gave William a piece of apple from her bowl of fruits, the baby was pleased.
She watched William eating and then turned back to Mulder, as she ate, feeling a warming in her heart, she didn't need to respond really to that, she knew that the Gunmen absolutely were their friends and had their hearts in the right place.
