*************** Scully was driving the car in the free way when she saw the Alexandria exit nearing. Clicking on her right turn flasher she got off on the exit. She cocked her head a bit to the right and asked Alex Jr. "Sweetie, do you want to go to see mommy's friend, Mulder?"
"Alright" he said, to busy to notice anything as he watched out side the window. "He's nice, I like him too." He said staring at a cat in the tree as Scully stopped at a stop light.
They made it to Mulder's house and parked in her usual parking spot. She looked both ways before opening her car door. Scully quickly opened Alex's car door, unbuckled him and pulled him out of the car. She placed his hand in hers and headed to the elevator. They went into the elevator and pushed the button.
"You can push the button if you want Alex." She told him while picking him up so he could reach.
"Which one is it mommy?" He asked holding his hand in air the waiting for his mom's reply.
"Third floor." She set him down after he pushed the button. The doors opened and she grabbed his hand again and continued on their journey. Alex asked her which door it was, when she told him he took off running towards Mulder's door and knocked on it.
"Alex you're supposed to wait for me!" She scolded the young child. Mulder opened his door right after she said this. "Hi Mulder" She said tentatively.
"Scully, Alex, what are you doing here?" He asked surprised.
"I, um well, we need to talk Mulder." She looked him straight in the eye and gave him her saddest eyes she could muster.
"Sure come in," He said falling for her eyes again. "Sorry the place is a mess I didn't get a chance to clean it up."
"Mulder you never clean it up so is that your excuse every time?" Scully giggled.
"Well, it could be." He blushed.
Mulder turned to Alex, and said, "Hey buddy, is your mom torturing you by taking you ever where she goes?"
"I like going with mommy, I met grandma today." He giggled into his hands. Scully smiled at this.
"You did? She's the greatest huh. She treats me like one of her own too. Why don't you go watch TV for a bit until me and your mommy are done talking?" He asked the little boy. He said ok and left to go sit on the couch and change it to a channel he would watch.
"So what did you want to talk about Scully?" he turned to look at her.
"Well for starters, I wanted to apologize to you. I was being an ass." She looked at her feet as she said this.
"Scully, you might be an ass but you're a lovely ass." He teased.
"Mulder I'm serious I miss you around and I feel horrible." She leaned into him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Scully, I want to apologize too, I was acting selfish. I should think about what Alex Jr. wants not what I want. I just worry about you." He hugged her tighter and put his chin on her head.
"Mulder I need to ask you a really big favor to ask you." She looked up at him. "My mom left for work and I need to go to the court for a meeting about my custody with Alex, and I don't really have anyone to watch him."
"I'll baby sit him Scully. What do you think I'm here for?" He kissed her forehead then undid his arms around her to turn around and walk into the living room. "Hey buddy," he said as he sat next to him on the couch. "Looks like I'm going to baby sit you until your mom gets back."
Alex Jr. looked at him and smiled before saying, "mommy actually said I get to stay with you?" He asked.
"Yes you can. Mommy has to go now Alex so I need you to be on your best behavior with Mulder alright?"
"Ok mommy, I will. I love you." He ran up to her hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.
Scully returned the gesture and said her goodbyes to both boys then headed out the door.
Mulder picked up Alex and walked him over to the fish tank. "These are my fish Alex, do you like them?"
"Oh wow pretty" The little boy said with enthusiasm.
Mulder laughed and set him back down. "Yes they are. What do you say we go get something to eat then go somewhere?"
"Ok where are we going?" Alex asked walking away from the fish hesitantly.
"Not too sure, lets go to Jack in the box first, then how about shopping at the toy shop?"
"Oh wow you mean it?!"
"Yes I mean it." Mulder laughed.
They drove to Jack in the Box and ordered their food. They decided to eat inside because it was kind of chilly out side. They talked for a little bit and Alex was playing with his toy that he got in his happy meal. After talking a bit when there food was all done Mulder suggested they go to some toy shops. Alex hopped up and jumped in glee grabbing Mulder's hand and pulling him towards the car. As they were driving Alex couldn't keep his excitement down. When they arrived there Alex was hopping up and down with glee.
"Calm down little guy" Mulder laughed. He ran around and grabbed his hand before Alex goes running off into the street.
They walked in the store and the first thing Alex did was run to the stuffed alien toys.
"Wow, what is it?" He asked showing Mulder his toy he'd found.
Mulder laughed when he saw it and couldn't help and think what Scully would think if he brought Alex home with a stuffed alien. "It's an alien Alex, you can have that if you want."
"Oh thank you so much Mr. Mulder."
Mulder laughed at that, "You don't have to call me Mr. Alex just Mulder is fine if you want."
"Ok." He bounded down the next isle looking at the action figures of X-men toys. After they pretty much bought a bin full of toys they decided to go home and call it a night. They traveled home and Mulder had to pick up the sleeping Alex and bring him in the house. He made it into the door then set Alex down on his bed. He went into his drawers and tried to find something comfortable for the child to sleep in. he found his New York Knicks T- shirt. He took off all of Alex's clothes except for his socks and pulled the shirt over his head so he had something to sleep in. He walked out to the living room and turned on the TV. Channel surfing was getting boring so Mulder turned it to his favorite adult channels. He was watching it for about 15 minutes until Scully quietly came in, using her key that they made copies for each other. He quickly switched the TV off.
"Hi Mulder, how did it go?" She asked him whispering.
"It went well. We went shopping and got some toys. We had a lot of fun."
"Toys, you bought toys for him?"
"Yeah, why not buy him toys?" He motioned for her to sit next to him.
Scully went to sit next to him but stopped when she looked at the clock on top of the TV. "Crap, Mulder I have to go. Right now let's get Alex in the car and start heading off." She started towards Mulder's room. She walked to his dresser and pulled Alex's clothes from the top of it. She picked him up but was struggling a bit so Mulder helped her out. He wrapped a blanket around him and continued to walk out to Scully's car.
"I'm sorry we can't stay but I really have to go." She helped Mulder get Alex into the car. After saying her good bye's to him they drove off. She had to make it home before Alex Krycek did. He was going to meet her tonight.
Scully wrapped Alex up in his blanket and carried him inside the apartment. Scully didn't turn on a light she just wanted to put Alex in his bed, course it was in the guest room but it is now his room. She unwound him and placed him in bed, until she noticed a green stuffed alien. She smiled and knew Mulder got it for him. Scully kissed him on the cheek and went to walk into the living room when she bumped into somebody.
Scully gasped and tried to feel around for her weapon. She turned around with relief as she heard the voice talk.
"Dana, it's alright, it's me Alex." He said gently turning her around.
