Chapter Thirteen

One Week Later...

Scully is standing, alone, outside the huge building, looking around expectantly. Her hand rested, instinctively, on her tummy. Thousands of people poured through the doors in large groups. She scanned the crowds; eyes still searching for the woman she had come to meet. At last, she spotted the dark curls. The owner looked up and their eyes locked. Both of them stood for a second, smiling until Scully rushed forward to greet her mother. They pulled away from the embrace, still smiling,

"Hey, Mom! How was the flight?"

"Unbelievably tiring!"

"Nothing unusual there then! Come on, you have to meet the girls."

She tugged her mother through the crowds towards the car and opened the door to let her sit in the passenger seat.

"It's a pretty long drive, about forty-five minutes, so you can try to get some sleep, Mom."

"On no! I can't, I want to hear all about my granddaughters before I finally get to see them."

Scully paused for a minute, wondering where to begin, 'Well at the beginning would be a good choice.'

"Well, Aimee's the eldest of the two - by about five minutes! Both of them love to draw and read, and they love pretending to be werewolves, zombies or any other paranormal creature that Mulder has taken the time to tell them about! Usually they want everything the exact same, except right now they are in a dispute over this baby...Aimee wants it to be a boy while Helene is determined to have a sister. They haven't spoken to each other for days since that argument started!"

"I remember Bill and Missy arguing over you before you were born! Are you going to tell them?"

"Well considering the past few days, they have spent scribbling offensive pictures of one another, I think I should get around to telling them soon. They usually make up after about an hour or two but this one seems serious, at least to them. By the way, be prepared not to hear any American accents from the three girls, they sound like they belong nowhere else but here. And that's how I feel too, if only you could move here with us."

"Technically I could, but my house holds all my memories and I'd feel like I was forgetting about Melissa and your dad."

"You couldn't ever forget them. Anyway, you're here for a while and you finally get to meet the twins, that's what matters just now."

The rest of their shortened journey was spent in silence, as bungalows became a blurry haze on the motorway. Scully slowly pulled the car to a stop in front of the new tenement block they lived in and turned off the engine. They walked up the stairs to their apartment on the third floor.

"Only drawback of living in a decent Scottish place in the city is the lack of elevators!"

Margaret replied with a sigh, reserving her breath for the climb upstairs. As soon as they reached their floor, the girls bounded through the door, Storme and Rogue following behind.

"Grandma!"

"Hi, Aimee."

Helene stayed beside her mother, wary of the stranger who would be staying with them for a while. She never did like meeting new people especially if they were adults. She clutched her mother's hand, knowing that she should really be welcoming her grandmother but she was too paranoid of making a bad impression.

"Come on, Helene, aren't you going to give your grandma a hug?"

She shook her head and moved further behind Scully, hoping that she was out of view. By this time, Margaret was carrying Aimee inside and Helene was slowly walking in behind her mom. As soon as they were in the hallway, Helene scurried off to her bedroom and hid under her quilt. Aimee was wrapped up in Margaret's arrival and took some time to notice that her twin wasn't with them.

"Mom, Do you want some tea? Anything to eat?"

"Tea would be great, Dana."

Mulder came home from shopping and found his mother-in-law standing in the kitchen, already, with his wife.

"Mrs. Scully, it's nice to see you again!"

"Fox! How many times do I have to tell you to call me Maggie?"

"Sorry, Maggie, how are you?"

"I'm fine, if not a bit tired. I'm just happy to be able to see my favorite people again."

"You want tea, Mulder?"

"You still aren't on first name terms?!"

"No, we're still stuck in that habit, after nine years it's hard to break. And yes I want some tea, Dana."

Mulder ushered Margaret into the lounge, leaving Scully to make the tea. She came in with a cup for her mother and went back to get hers and Mulder's. She sat on the couch with a leg tucked up behind her and called for the girls.

"Aimee! Helene! Will you come in here a minute? I have something to tell you."

"Okay, Mom!"

Came the reply from both girls although Aimee was the only one who actually made an appearance.

"Go get your sister."

She turned on her heel and ran into her bedroom, pulling the duvet off of Helene. She sat up and dragged it back out of her sister's hands and lay back down in the darkness.

"Helene! Mom wants to tell us something."

Helene's voice came out muffled from her hiding place,

"I don't want to!"

"Cowardly, Cowardly custard! You're scared of grandma!"

She threw off the covers and jumped off the bed. Standing with her hands on her hips, she declared,

"I am not!"

"You are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am NOT!"

They went on like that for quite a while until both had got rid of their resentment toward the other that had built up since the last argument begun. Finally, Helene just shrugged her shoulders, stamped a foot on the ground and stalked into the living room.

"What is it mom?"

"Come on and sit down."

Aimee appeared, somewhat flushed and plunked down on the rug beside the coffee table. Scully positioned herself on the edge of the couch and the girls edged closer.

"Okay, first I want you to promise that you'll stop fighting. And you, Helene, are going to stop being so shy around your grandma."

Both of them nodded and moved as close as possible.

"Okay, I know you want a brother, Aimee but...the baby is a little girl."

"Another sister will be just as good, I suppose."

Scully sighed in relief, she had prepared for another row because Aimee hadn't gotten her own way. But she didn't throw a tantrum. She just smiled, hugged her mom and her grandma and wandered into the bedroom to play with Rogue. Helene followed.

"Why did you have to be right?"

"Well, you're usually the one that's always right!"

"Okay, so I suppose it was your turn then?"

She nodded and sat down on the carpet, stroking Rogue who was lying next to her bed.
