Chapter Three
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fox began folding Dana's pajamas and placing them inside a large suitcase. He held up his favorite pair, the blue, green, and purple flannel pajamas. He didn't go for sexy lingerie; flannel was so much more comfortable. He could just imagine them sitting on the couch in the morning, drinking coffee after a night of great sex. Of course, it wouldn't be long before Dana couldn't fit into the beloved flannel pajamas. He'd have to buy her new pajamas.
He began packing some of his own clothes into the suitcase. He still couldn't believe how incredibly blessed he was. They were having four, perfect little babies. What would the sexes be? What would they name them?
His sell phone rang shrilly and suddenly. "Hello?"
"Hey honey." It was Dana.
He smiled. "Hey baby. What's up?"
"Can you get our dinner from Café Milano? I can't stand the cafeteria food here. It—." Her voice cut off abruptly.
"Honey? Honey what's wrong?"
Nothing.
He heard the phone clatter to the ground.
"Dana? Dana?"
He heard nothing. In panic, he threw some of his clothes into the suitcase and ran out the door, grabbing the bag and barely taking time to lock the door behind him.
He dialed Dana's cell, busy. He kept calling until he reached the hospital. Running as fast as he could, he went up to their room.
"I asked you a question Dana, where is he?"
It was Rob, her ex-fiancé.
"I'm right here," Fox said. His hands balled up into fists involuntarily. He hated that bastard Rob. He'd put his Dana in a coma before.
"So, this is the wife stealer," Rob said. He surveyed Fox up and down. "I see you got her pregnant. Isn't she just awesome in bed? Of course, that was before she cheated on me."
Fox gritted his teeth. "Please leave."
"I'll leave when I'm good and ready, Mr. Mulder," he answered.
"Leave or I will make you leave."
"You're threatening me now," Rob said. "I ought to--."
Betty rushed in. "I'm sorry. There was a code blue in room 106. What do you--?" She looked at Rob. "Oh. I'm so sorry, Dana, I'll call security and get him out of here."
Three burly security guards marched in. "Come with us, sir." They grabbed Rob's shoulders and escorted him out of the room.
Tears escaped Dana's eyes. Fox rushed to her side and took her hands.
"I'm sorry," Fox apologized. "I should've been here."
"It's not your fault," she told him.
"What did he say to you?" he asked.
"Nothing, really. He just talked about you," she replied.
Fox wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay now, he's gone."
Dana's tears continued to fall for a minute, then her tear streaked face peered up at him and she smiled. "So what did you get for dinner?"
"Dinner? I was too worried about you," he told her.
"I'll go get it for you," Betty offered. "It's the least I can do."
"Two spaghettis, garlic bread, and two diet Pepsis," Dana told her without hesitation.
She nodded. "I'll be back soon."
