Chapter Two...
" Scully...I..."
*KNOCK KNOCK*
A voice in the distance, quite muffled..." Scully, It's Doggett..."
Mulder looks at Scully, and instantly remarks, " Stay here, I'll get it."
Mulder heads to the front door as Scully ignores Mulder's request and gets up from the bed ( William in hand). Mulder peeks through the hole to assure his paranoid mind that it is really infact Agent Doggett. He unlocks the chain and opens the door abruptly.
"Oh hey Agent Mulder."
" It's just Mulder now Agent Doggett, remember?"
"Ah, right, sorry." replies Agent Doggett as he peers over Mulder's shoulder to find Scully in the back round. " Am I interupting something here, because if I am..."
" Oh no Agent Doggett, dont be silly. Come on in." Scully says as she walks towards the front door.
Mulder glares at Doggett and slowly backs out of the doorway. " I just came to congratulate you, and give you a little something."
" Aw, thanks John, that really wasnt necessary."
" No it wasnt" Mulder remarks under his breath as Scully immediatly leers at him.
" Okay well thanks Agent Doggett, I guess we'll be seein' ya " Mulder quirks.
Doggett nods as if he gets the hint, hands Scully a wrapped package, and walks out the still open door. (Mulder closes it behind him)
"MULDER!" Scully shouts with a quick beat.
" I just dont trust that man."
" I know, but that doesnt give you any reason to be so, well, doggish. To put it bluntly."
" Yea, I guess not. Sorry."
" Okay. Well I need to put William to bed now, and I'm pretty tired myself."
" Yea, you've had a long day."
Scully starts to walk towards her room, when Mulder timidly says, " Can I say good night to William?"
" Sure, why dont you help me put him down?"
Mulder smiles from ear to ear and almost skips over to Scully and the baby. Mulder slows down when he see's his sleeping son stirring under Scully's arms. He watches mindfully as Scully gently places William down on his side.
" He's beautiful Mulder." Scully whispers softly, still looking down at William.
Mulder drifts toward the crib and observes the tiny miracle as it breathes slowly. He watches its fragile body and marvels at how peaceful it looks. " Good night. William." he whispers passionately and turns toward Scully.
" Good night Scully." Mulder says as he leans in towards her and kisses her forehead.
Scully wraps her arms around him and hugs him. " Good night...Dad."
At this remark, Mulder smiles and quietly walks out of the room.
The next day...
7:00am- Mulder wakes up to the phone ringing. " Hello? Yea Scully, whats wrong? Oh, so your okay? Alright, I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Okay. Bye."
Mulder arrives at Scully's apartment (wearing the clothing he slept in) and knocks on the door. He hears a muffled, " Hold on a sec." and taps his foot impatiently.
Scully opens the door with William in her arms. She is in a bath robe and well, looks like she hasnt gotten any sleep at all. " Christ Mulder, you could have gotten some clothes on." she says with a smile.
Mulder purposely looks at Scully from head to toe, clears his throat, and grins.
" Yea Yea...I know. He didnt sleep at all last night. He started at about 2:30 and well, lets just say i havent slept since then."
" Aww, my poor baby." Mulder says half sympathetic,half sarcastic, and grabs William from Scully.
He then proceeds to "goo" and "gah" until he gets a smiling response from William. " Did you see that Scully? He smiled at me!"
" I knew he'd smile at his father first." Scully remarks wistfully.
" Hey Mulder, can you watch him for a while? I need to get a little more sleep."
" Uh...yea. Sure."
Scully detects his uneasiness and says warmly, " Mulder, your fine. Dont worry."
Mulder nods and half smiles. Scully heads to her room, leaving Mulder in the middle of the room with William. " So Will, I guess it's just you and me."
Two Hours Later...
Scully wakes up to some ungodly noise coming from her living room. After realizing it was Mulder attempting to sing to the baby, she decided to investigate. She quietly got up and pushed her door open with ease. She tip toed in to her living room, where she found Mulder singing, " Head, Shoulders, Knee's and Toes..." to William, who was smiling in his basinet.
During his reprise, Mulder realized that Scully was behind him and quickly stood up. He had a look of complete embarrassment, but tried to conceal it with a grin. " I was uh..."
" I dont know whether to be happy for him, because he's learning, or to pity him for being subjected to your wailing." Scully says with a smile.
" You just jealous you dont have my talent." Mulder replies with equal sarcasm.
Mulder then looks at the still wrapped present from Agent Doggett that is sitting on the coffee table. " Are you gonna open that present?"
" Yes, but it might be a bomb. You never can trust that kind of wrapping paper." Scully mockingly remarks.
" Yea, Yea...so lets open it."
Both Mulder and Scully sit down on her couch together, with William in Mulder's lap. Scully picks up the package and starts to unwrap it. The torn off paper reveals two baby moniters and a little card that read, " Congradulations."
"Hmm, wonderful. " Mulder says with an annoyed tone.
" Oh you be quiet. I think it was very thoughtful. Why dont you go humor yourself and set them up."
Mulder shows an expression of disinterest but smiles as he takes the moniters from Scully. He proceeds to her bedroom and gets to work.
Five minutes later...
Mulder is furiously trying to move Scully's dresser to see if there are any plug out-lets behind it. Suddenly, he hears a loud thud coming from the kitchen. Following the thud was William's screams. Mulder jumped up and ran out of the bed room.
" SCULLY?! "
