Chapter Ten

Mulder is rushing around, making breakfast for the twins before they are left with John and Monica, while he and Scully go to the ultrasound appointment. Aimee is sitting patiently as her mother braids her hair, scowling at Helene who retorts by pulling faces at her. The argument still hasn't been settled and they are refusing to speak to each other at all - only communicating with facial expressions that aren't too complimentary.

"Oh, come on you two, you have to talk some time!"

Aimee and Helene just glare at each other with their arms folded across their chests, still ignoring their mother's pleas for them to stop the silly dispute.

"Why should I talk to her? Not like she wants to talk to me anyway."

"My name isn't 'her', it's Aimee and maybe I do want to talk to you but you're just in a mood."

"I am not in a mood; you're in a mood!"

"Stop it right now, both of you!"

Mulder came in with their food and sat them both at the table, still sulking and glaring at each other as they ate the scrambled eggs and toast. Mulder shrugged his shoulders, they never feel out for long, they would make up sooner or later - preferably sooner.

At last, the twins were next door playing with Angelle and Mulder and Scully were on their way to the hospital. Mulder couldn't stop smiling, he was still hoping that she would give in to him, but he knew she wouldn't, she wanted a surprise.

"Come on, Scully, please?"

She shook her head so that her hair fell across her face and replied,

"Nope! You'll just have to wait and see."

He sighed, exasperated, and focused his eyes on the road. He through her a look, putting all the effort he could into the puppy dog look but it didn't seem to be working on her this time. She was good at making it look like she was immune to those looks, but only on the outside, inside she was melting.
