Chapter Fourteen
Margaret and her daughter are still chatting in the living room. Mulder is making sure his daughters are brushing their teeth properly. It is a little later than 9 pm and past the girls' bedtime as they start back at playgroup in the morning.
"Daddy?"
"What is it sweetie?"
"Can Aimee and me choose the baby's name?"
"I dunno, you'll have to ask your mom about that."
She simply nodded and turned back to the mirror, placing her toothbrush on the tiny shelf next to it at the same time as Aimee did. Mulder still was a little unnerved when they did or said things at exactly the same time. Finished with the nightly routine before bed, the twins padded into the lounge, barefoot, for their goodnight kiss from Scully.
"Mommy? Daddy said I have to ask you."
"Ask me what, baby?"
"Can Aimee and me pick the baby's name?"
Scully laughed, she was worried about saying 'yes' in case they come up with something weird.
"Um...that would depend on what you're thinking of."
"I dunno yet, but I'll think of something..."
She smiled and planted a kiss on her mother's cheek, then walked over to Margaret. She hugged her grandma, having overcome her fear from earlier. Aimee followed suit and they sauntered into their bedroom. Mulder followed behind them, waiting to tuck them in and make sure they got settled. They both climbed into their beds in the same way, as usual and lay under the quilt waiting for their father to tuck it around their sides.
Scully and Margaret are still sitting in the lounge, talking and half watching a movie. Basically just catching up on the five years they missed out of each other's lives. Mulder could hear them laughing as he closed the bedroom door and made his way back into the living room.
"It shouldn't be funny but it is! How could he think that when it's so obvious how much you loved him then and how much more you seem to now!"
Mulder figured they were talking about the day of the wedding and interrupted the conversation,
"Because, I always thought that I didn't deserve such a wonderful woman as your daughter, Maggie."
Both woman jumped and turned around with matching red cheeks, embarrassed that they had been caught talking about him.
"Oh don't mind me, I'm only the one who's heart was stomped on for an hour or two that day!"
Scully smiled sweetly at him and moved over on the couch to leave a space for him to sit. He walked toward her and she pulled his face down toward hers for a kiss.
"Mulder, did I ever tell you how stupid you can be sometimes? I could never, ever leave you like that! I couldn't bring myself to do it at all."
"Uh...Scu-Dana, you can't blame me for thinking that you are too good for me."
"Okay, you guys are getting too soppy for me; I'm off to bed!"
"Night Mom."
"G'night, Maggie."
"Goodnight!"
She called from the bedroom door, entering and leaving her son-in-law alone with her daughter. They were now sprawled across the couch, cuddled together and his hand rested over hers on top of the growing bump. At just over four months, she was beginning to show and Mulder loved to rest his head on her tummy to hear the gurgles inside.
