The next morning Storm was awake before her parents woke up. The small toddler was in the living room playing with her stuffed animals. Storm had her fox hugged close to her as she played with the toy she got the day before.
Soon Storm became bored and wanted to watch a movie. The toddler found the movie she wanted to watch and tried to put it into the DVD player. When Storm couldn't figure out how to get the electronic to work, she became frustrated and started to cry.
"Mmm Scully," Mulder mumbled from their bedroom as the cries of his child woke him up. The woman yawned and laid there for a moment, hoping her child would calm down. When Storm kept crying, Scully sighed and got out of bed. Mulder mumbled and tried to go back to bed.
"You're getting up to help me," Scully scolded as she tried taking the blanket from her husband. Mulder tightened his grip on his blanket and rolled away from his wife. Scully gently smacked her husband before she headed downstairs.
"Stormy what's wrong?" Scully spoke softly as she walked into the living room. The toddler rubbed her eyes, as she threw her fit. The older woman sat next to her daughter on the floor, picked her up, and held her close.
"Mama no," Storm cried as she was held. Scully smiled and showed her daughter some affection. Soon the small toddler calmed down.
"Stormy. Can you use your words and tell me why you're upset?" Scully spoke softly. Storm rubbed her eyes and cuddled close to her mother. The woman smiled and kissed her daughter happily.
"Hey. How is she doing," Mulder spoke softly as he entered the room. Storm looked up at her father and whined unhappily. The older man smiled and knelt down next to the girls.
"Nemo," Storm mumbled unhappily. Mulder looked up at the TV and smiled. He stood up and fixed the TV so the movie could play. The toddler mumbled happily.
"Is that why you were upset sweetheart?" Scully asked softly. Storm nodded and turned her attention to the TV. Mulder chuckled and looked at his family.
"I'm going to go make breakfast," Mulder smiled as he went into the kitchen. Storm settled down in her mother's arms and happily watched the movie. Scully smiled and watched the movie as well.
The toddler gave a content mumble as she turned towards her mother and grabbed onto her shirt. The older woman looked down at her child and smiled. Storm grasped onto her mother's shirt and laid against her, enjoying her mother's company.
After breakfast Scully was outside working on her garden while her daughter sat close to her. Mulder was up in his office working on some old files. The older woman looked over at her child and smiled. Storm had a couple of plastic animals in front of her.
As Scully pulled weeds, the toddler stood up and waddled to the side of the house. Scully watched her child out of the corner of her eye. Even though Storm knew not to leave her mother's sight, she could be a bit unruly.
As Storm made it to the corner of the house, she sat down and stared at the woods nearby. The small child mumbled unhappily as she noticed someone standing at the edge of the forest. It was a tall man who looked familiar to the toddler.
"Hey kiddo. Why aren't you near Mommy?" Mulder spoke happily as he picked his child up. The toddler grabbed onto her father and whined. Mulder smiled at his daughter.
"Dada," Storm mumbled as she pointed at the woods. Mulder smiled and kissed his daughter happily. The toddler whined at her father.
"We can go on a walk later, okay?" Mulder explained to his child. Storm shook her head and pointed again. Mulder scanned the tree line trying to figure out why Storm was acting up.
"Stormy, what do you see? There is nothing there," Mulder spoke softly. Storm mumbled and looked around. The man that was watching her was gone. Mulder smiled and walked back over to his wife.
"Hey sweetheart," Scully spoke softly as she brushed Storm's hair out of her eyes. Storm was holding onto her father tightly and laying against him. The older man smiled and kissed his daughter before setting her on the ground.
"Stay next to Mommy and me, okay?" Mulder smiled at Storm as he handed her the toys she was playing with. The toddler took the toys from her father and mumbled.
"You don't have to help me Mulder. It's the weekend, you can go through whatever cases you're working on," Scully smiled as she knelt back down onto the ground. Mulder grinned and knelt down as well.
"I wanted to spend time with you," Mulder grinned as he kissed his wife gently. Scully smiled and returned her husband's kiss. The older man grinned and snuggled his wife for a few moments before helping in the garden.
About an hour later, Storm became bored of sitting and playing again. The small toddler got up and slowly waddled over to her parents. Mulder was smiling at his wife and showering her with affection as she gardened.
"Mulder stop, I'm trying to work," Scully tried scolding her husband as she laughed. Storm whined softly and forced herself in between her two parents.
"Hey. What do you think you're doing," Mulder laughed as Storm interrupted them. The toddler hugged onto her mother and looked for attention. Scully sighed and removed her gloves.
"I guess I'm done gardening huh?" The woman smiled happily as she kissed her daughter. Storm whined softly and snuggled into her mother. Scully held her daughter close and cuddled on her. Mulder grinned and laid his head against his wife's and watched his daughter.
"You two are really affectionate today," Scully chuckled as she kissed her husband. The toddler mumbled happily as she played with her mother's necklace. Mulder felt himself fill up with pride.
"I love you Dana. So much," Mulder grinned. Scully blushed slightly and smiled at her husband. The toddler mumbled and looked up at her parents. Mulder looked down at his daughter and grinned.
"Stormy, do you want to watch television while I make lunch?" Mulder asked. Storm nodded and laid against her mother. Scully smiled and rubbed her daughter's back. The toddler mumbled happily and smiled.
"Come on sweetheart," Scully smiled and picked her daughter up, and carried her inside. Mulder grinned and followed his wife and daughter inside.
While Mulder was making a quick lunch, Scully went to the living room with her daughter. Storm looked up at her mother and smiled happily. The older woman sat down in the sofa chair and turned on the TV.
"Mama what animal?" Storm mumbled as she watched the TV. Scully kissed her daughter and looked up at the TV.
"That's a giraffe sweetheart," Scully spoke softly. Storm nodded and went back to watching TV. The older woman smiled and kissed her daughter.
"Hey lunch is done," Mulder spoke as he stepped into the living room. Storm mumbled unhappily not wanting to stop watching TV. Scully held her child close as she stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"Mama. Animals," Storm whined as her mother carried her. Scully shushed her daughter as she set her in her booster seat at the table. Mulder smiled and handed Storm a grilled cheese and some grapes. The toddler whined unhappily.
"Eat your food Storm," Mulder said firmly as he sat down at the table with his and his wife's food. Scully smiled at her husband and started to eat. Storm pouted and looked away from her parents. Mulder sighed and started to eat.
After about fifteen minutes Scully was done eating. The woman looked over at her daughter and sighed. Storm barely touched her food. Mulder gave his wife a small smile.
"Stormy, you need to eat your lunch," Scully said firmly. Storm shook her head and pouted. The woman looked at her daughter and hoped she wasn't about to have a fit.
"Storm, if you eat your lunch, you can watch the animals on TV in our room. How does that sound?" Mulder asked, trying to help his wife out. Scully smiled at her husband and kissed him gently.
"Animals Mama room," Storm mumbled. Scully looked back at her daughter and sat closer to her. The toddler looked up at her mother.
"Yes Storm. If you eat lunch, you can watch TV in my bedroom. How does that sound," Scully asked happily. Storm mumbled and nodded as she started to eat. Mulder grinned proudly.
"Mama cheese," Storm mumbled as she ate her sandwich. Scully smiled at her daughter. Mulder grinned and ate his lunch. The toddler looked at her parents and smiled.
Soon Storm finished up eating her lunch. Mulder kissed his daughter happily as he took Storm's plate from her. The toddler mumbled happily and smiled at her parents. Scully stood up and picked up her daughter. Storm hugged onto her mother tightly.
"Mama animals," Storm mumbled eagerly. Scully showed her daughter some affection and walked to the living room. The toddler laid on her mother and talked to herself. The woman grabbed her daughter's stuffed fox and walked up to her bedroom.
"I love you Stormy," Scully told her daughter proudly. Storm mumbled and looked at her mother. The toddler made some happy noises as she played with her mother's face. The older woman smiled and walked into her bedroom.
Scully smiled as she set her daughter down on the bed. Storm mumbled and crawled over to the center of the bed. The small child sat next to her parents pillows and watched her mother.
The older woman smiled and crawled into bed herself. Storm looked up at her mother and sat next to her. Scully smiled happily and turned on the TV to one of Storm's favorite channels.
"Mama look shark," Storm mumbled happily. Scully smiled, laid down and rubbed her daughter's back. Soon Mulder walked into the bedroom.
"Hi Dada," Storm mumbled as she smiled up at her father. Mulder smiled and went to lay down on his side of the bed. Scully smiled at her husband.
"Hey Dana," Mulder spoke softly as he kissed his wife gently. Scully smiled and returned her husband's affections. Storm looked at her parents and mumbled.
"Storm do you want cuddles?" Scully asked her daughter hoping Storm was ready to take a nap. Storm nodded and laid down next to her mother. The woman smiled happily as Storm grabbed onto her mother's shirt.
"Love Mama," Storm mumbled as she watched the TV. Scully turned onto her side and held her daughter close. The toddler yawned and snuggled into her mother.
Mulder smiled happily as he got close to his family. His daughter whined as her father got close to her. Scully shushed her daughter and showed her some affection. Soon Storm fell asleep.
"I love you Dana," Mulder grinned at his wife. Scully smiled at her husband and kissed him happily. Mulder snuggled his wife.
"I love you too Fox," Scully spoke softly. Mulder wrapped his arms around his wife and sighed happily as he yawned. Scully cuddled into her husband and held their child close. Soon the family fell asleep.
