Chapter 15- Lifes little surprises
December 22nd
5:25pm
It was already 25 minutes after 5 and neither Agent had made a move to leave the office, they each sat at their own desk and typed up their field report. The phone at Will's desk chirps and on the second ring it picks up.
"Agent Mulder." (He'd changed his last name a few months before.)
Pause.
"Yes Sir. We're almost finished. I'll bring them up as soon as we're done."
Pause.
"Goodbye Sir."
Dana finishes her report, prints it out, and turns off her laptop. Grabbing her coat she gets up to leave the office.
"Dana, wait a sec."
She turned around to face his desk, "Yeah."
"What are you doing for Christmas?"
"Um, I was going to spend it with my parents but their going to see my Uncle Jose, so I guess nothing. Why?"
"Uncle Jose?"
"My mom was adopted."
"Ah, ok. Well, I was just going to see if you wanted to come with me to my parents, they'd love to see you. And Sam, Daniel and the baby will be there."
"I'd love to. Isn't Sam due this month though?"
"Yea, sometime this week. It'll be interesting." A sly smile spreads across his face, "We'll have to share a room though."
Dana returns the smile, "Well, you'll just have to behave then won't you?"
"Do I have to?"
"Yeah. What time are we going to their house anyway?"
"Around 7, so you should really go home and pack, I know how long it takes you females to do things like that."
"Hmm. Ok, well see you at 7 I guess." She turns to walk out the door once again, and once again Will stops her from leaving.
"Dana."
She turns around, a exasperated look on her face, "What is it Will?"
"Don't I get a good-bye kiss?"
She sighs, puts her things down, and walks over to where Will is standing. "We really shouldn't, not at work, they split people up for these things. Were lucky they haven't found out yet."
Will pulls her into his arms, "That's what makes it so much fun." He leans in closer and captures her lips with his. She smiles into the kiss and pulls back reluctantly, he tries to close the gap once more but she places her hands on his face.
"I have to go Will, I'll see you at 7."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will arrived at Dana's apartment a few minutes before 7, and using his key let himself in. "Dana." He called as he opened the door, "You ready to go?"
"Just a second!" She called from her bedroom. She leaned her head out the doorway, "Hey Will, how long are we going to be there?"
"Until the 27th."
"Ok good, I packed 6 outfits. You think you could help me with my luggage though, I've got a few bags."
"Yeah sure." He picks up the largest of the bags, "God woman, what do you got in this bag?"
She rolls her eyes, "Stop being such a baby Will, come on we'll be late."
The drive to the Mulder's was for the most part quiet, the music was on and Dana was singing along with the songs that she knew. Will glanced over at her a few times to watch her sing and every time he did so she would stop. When they reached his parents house it was already 7:32.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
December 25th
7:47am
"Dana…Dana, get up." Will said as he gently shook her awake. "Come on Dana, everybody's waiting. It's Christmas morning, you got to get up."
After giving up on shaking he started to tickle her. Her eyes shot open and she tried kicking him off her but it was to no avail.
"WILLIAM FOX MULDER! Get off!" She said through her laughter. "Stop! Im awake!"
He stopped tickling but didn't move from his spot over her, "Morning beautiful. How did you sleep?"
"Wonderfully. Im getting use to sharing a bed with you." She gets up on her elbows and lightly kisses him. "I know I don't tell you very often, but you know I love you right?"
"Of course I know, I love you too. But my parents might not be too fond of you after you make them wait to open Christmas presents." He says as he brushes the hair out of her face, "You should but on something a little more, ah, decent than my t-shirt. Might give some people assumptions."
"But they would be correct in their assumptions. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, it's just I think maybe it would be more appropriate if you had a pair of pants on, its pretty cold outside. Downstairs isn't very much warmer." He said getting off the bed.
"Your right, pants would be good." She replies getting off the bed and searching for her pants, after finding them and putting them on they make their way downstairs. Wills arms wrapped around Dana's neck.
When they reach the living room everybody is, like Will said, waiting. Dana (Mulder) looks up at her son and smiles, "Thought you two were never going to come down."
"Dana's not the easiest person to wake." He says with a laugh.
"Don't feel bad son, neither is your mother." Mulder replies with a smile, his wife leans up against him and he brings his arm around her.
Since there is no more room on either of the couches Will sits on the floor and Dana sits in front of him, her back on his chest. His arms wrap around her waist and she leans into his embrace.
Maggie toddles up to where they sit and pulls on Will's arm, "Ucle Ill."
"Yes Maggie."
"Luv ou."
"I love you to sweetie. You ready to open your presents?"
"Pwesents!" She squeals happily, "Open Pwesents!"
Dan picks her up and brings her over to the tree, "Ok Maggols, lets get you some presents to open."
After all of the presents are opened Will stands up bringing Dana with him, "Get your jacket on."
"Why?"
"Will you just listen to me for once? I've got a surprise for you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok, close your eyes. I'll help you walk."
Dana giggles as he places his hands over her eyes, "Im not going to peak."
"I don't trust you."
"Humph." She snorts.
"Oh, be patient. Were almost there." He leads her to the front of the yard and turns her so that she faces the house, "Ok. Im going to let go." He removes his hands from his eyes and when she sees his surprise she gasps.
There written in the snow are they words, 'Will you marry me?'
Her hands fly to her mouth and her eyes travel to the porch where everybody else is standing. Tears sting in her eyes and fall down her cheeks and she slowly turns around. She lets out a happy sob when she sees Will kneeling on one knee with a open ring box in his hand. He looks at her hopefully and she smiles through her tears. "Yes, Will. I'll marry you." She says as she pulls him up from his position and brings her arms around his neck.
"I love you." He whispers into her ear and pulls back. He takes the ring out of the box and places it on her finger. Then he pulls her back into his arms and kisses her softly on the forehead, she brings her arms around his neck once more and kisses him deeply. After breaking away from the kiss he picks her up on the ground and she squeals in excitement.
"I love you too." She says as he spins her around.

June 6th
12:00pm
Folly Beach, SC
Dana latched arms with her father and listened for the music to start, when the familiar dum, dum, dum, dum began she watched as Maggie slowly walked barefooted down the isle, every know and then throwing a few rose pedals onto the sand. Her light blue dress swaying in the summer breeze.
Then Sam and her husband walked down the isle. Sam being her maid of honor, and Dan being the best man. Sam's blue dress matched her daughters perfectly and Dana felt sorry for Dan who was no doubt burning in the suns rays.
Then it was her turn. Barefooted, like her flower girl and maid of honor, she walked arm in arm with her father. Her dad squeezed her arm and smiled at her. She returned the smile and looked ahead of her and her smile grew when she saw Will standing in his tux, waiting patiently.
When they reached the end of the isle her dad hugged her and kissed her lightly on her cheek. He handed her over to Will and stood next to his wife, who stood next to Mulder and Dana. Dana was holding her youngest granddaughter Melissa Ann LaHaye.
Dana smiled and turned to her fiancé, who in a few short moments would be her husband and could already feel the tears forming behind her eyes. He took hold of one of her hands and squeezed it gently. She looked into his eyes and mouthed, "I love you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same Day
6:30pm
Dana hugged her new mother-in-law and pulled away smiling,
"I guess I was right." She said with a chuckle.
"About what?"
"Well, do you remember when we talked about how everybody who works in that damn basement office always ends up together? I was right, wasn't I?"
"I guess so. So, how are we going to tell who's calling who now? I mean were both Dana Mulder."
"Im not sure, guess we'll have to figure something out." A huge smile breaks across her face, "After your honeymoon."
Dana rolls her eyes and she gives her another hug before walking up to her husband and wrapping her arm around his waist. The DJ announces that its now time for their first dance and they make their way to the floor. Dana wraps her arms around her husbands neck and rests her head against his chest and the music begins to play, they both sing along to the song softly.
'Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.
Baby your all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
Im finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your arms
It isn't too hard to see
Were in heaven.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when your feeling down
Yeah, nothing can change what you mean to me
There's lots that I could say,
But just hold me know
Cause our love will light the way.
Baby your all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
Im finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your arms
It isn't too hard to see
Were in heaven.
I've been waiting for so long,
For something to arrive
For love to come along.
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you.
Baby your all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
Im finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your arms
It isn't too hard to see
Were in heaven.'

November 21st
2:21pm
Dana rushes down the hallway as quietly as she can but she cant contain her excitement and ends up making more noise than she would normally. She pushes open the door to the office and enters to see Will standing up making his way to the door.
"Dana, what's going on? Why are you being so loud?"
"Sit, sit. I've got something to tell you." She pushes him back to his seat and sits him down, she then sits on his lap and puts her hands on his shoulders.
"Dana, what is it?"
"I just went to the doctor. She told me something interesting."
"And what exactly is that, Mrs. Mulder?"
"Well, Mr. Mulder, in about 8 months were going to have a baby Mulder."
Will's face lights up, "Your pregnant. Oh my God, im going to be a father?" He jumps off of the chair her in his arms, he spins her around in a circle and then abruptly stops. "Oh, God, im sorry. I didn't hurt you did I?"
"Will calm down, im only 4 weeks along. You can do what ever you want, the baby will be fine, I will be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, im sure. So, Mr. Mulder do you want to go celebrate? I talked to Hunts before coming down, asked for the rest of the day off. I didn't tell him why though. He accepted however. We get to go home." She grabs his hand and leads him out the door and towards the parking lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July 12th
1:53am
"Oh God, William wake up." Dana says shaking his shoulders, he doesn't stir. "Damn it Will, my water just broke. Get your lazy ass out of bed."
Will jumps out of bed and looks around, "Where's your bag?"
"Who gives a damn, just get me to the hospital!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4:32am
"Where is my fucking epidermal!" Dana screams at her husband who's sitting next to her in the hospital.
"Dana, they already gave it to you. Over an hour ago."
"I want another then! God, it hurts! This is all your fault you know. You did this to me."
John who was on the other side of Dana, with his wife chuckles softly, Dana glares at him and he turns his head and tries to stop his laughter. In doing this Dana and Mulder walk in the room. Mulder sees John laughing and looks at him perplexed.
John shakes his head at them and continues laughing. He gives Will a sympathetic look and makes himself stop laughing.
"I don't see what's funny dad. Why are you laughing when im in pain?"
"It's just, poor Will, I mean yeah poor you. But that's a given. Will over there looks like a deer in the headlights." He starts laughing again one of the doctor's comes in to check on the progress Dana's making.
"How much longer?" Monica asks, understanding the kind of pain her daughter is going through, knowing that in her situation its probably worse.
"Well, from what I can tell you around two hours."
Dana lets out a frustrated yell and turns to Will, "After this, your getting fixed."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6:18am
"Ok Dana this is it, just a few minutes." The doctor says and then looks over at Will, "Do you want to watch?"
Will looks over at Dana, who nods her head, "Go. Watch your child be born, do the easy part."
Mulder chuckles along with John and Will walk over to the doctor.
"Ok, push Dana, push!" The doctor screams.
Dana pushes as hard as she can and Will's eyes grow. Mulder looks over at John, "Ok, get ready…3...2...1--" Will falls to the floor.
Trying hard not to laugh John and Mulder help him off the floor and stand him up. Mulder looks at his son amused, "Don't worry, happens to the best of us. I fainted when Sam was born…twice." Will wobbles a bit before regaining composure and the doctor screams at Dana to once again push. She pushes, and falls back onto the bed, the high pitched wail of a newborn fills the air and Will looks at his baby amazed.
"It's a girl." The doctor says as she quickly puts her in his arms and turns back to Dana. "Ok Dana, I know your tired, but we still got two more to go. Your going to have to push again.
5 minutes later another wail fills the air and the doctor puts their second daughter into the arms of Mulder. She turns back to Dana, "Ok Dana, last one. You ready?"
"No! But I don't really have a choice do I?"
After 4 minutes of Dana's painful yells and the sound of two babies crying their last and only boy is born. After he's cleaned the doctor hands him to his mother and checks on the other two. "Well, were going to need to get them cleaned, and taken to the newborn ward. I'll give you a few minutes to name them, if you haven't already picked out their names yet."
"We've already named them." Dana says looking down at her baby boy. "This is William Fox Jr." She smiles and looks at her husband. "Will's got Monica Diane. And Dad's got Dana Katharine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 ½ years later:
William Fox Mulder looked through the Plexiglas at his newborn son, Dana had given birth 3 hours prior and he held in his hands his youngest triplet, Will Jr. His daughters were sleeping next to their mother in her hospital room
"You see that baby right there? That's your little brother. Your going to have to watch out for him, can you do that for me?"
"Yes."
"Good, because he's going to look up to you. And whatever he sees you doing, that's what he's going to do. Your going to have to teach him things, let him know what's right and what's wrong. Your sisters will help. But I have a feeling he'll look up to his big brother more than his big sister. You love him ok? Whatever you do you love him. He'll always be your little brother, no matter what."
"Ittle brother. What name?"
"His name is Jonathan Michel. You'll probably call him Johnny though, do you like that name Johnny? He's named after your grandpa Dogett. Just like your named after me and your grandpa Mulder. And your sisters are named after your grandmas."
"Where sisters?"
"Sleeping, with your mother."
"I go see momma? Go sleep with sisters?"
"Sure, lets go see momma."

A/N: That's all, hope the ending wasn't to much of a disappointment. Thanks for all the reviews.

Trying hard not to laugh John and Mulder help him off the floor and stand him up. Mulder looks at his son amused, "Don't worry, happens to the best of us. I fainted when Sam was born…twice." Will wobbles a bit before regaining composure and the doctor screams at Dana to once again push. She pushes, and falls back onto the bed, the high pitched wail of a newborn fills the air and Will looks at his baby amazed.
"It's a girl." The doctor says as she quickly puts her in his arms and turns back to Dana. "Ok Dana, I know your tired, but we still got two more to go. Your going to have to push again.
5 minutes later another wail fills the air and the doctor puts their second daughter into the arms of Mulder. She turns back to Dana, "Ok Dana, last one. You ready?"
"No! But I don't really have a choice do I?"
After 4 minutes of Dana's painful yells and the sound of two babies crying their last and only boy is born. After he's cleaned the doctor hands him to his mother and checks on the other two. "Well, were going to need to get them cleaned, and taken to the newborn ward. I'll give you a few minutes to name them, if you haven't already picked out their names yet."
"We've already named them." Dana says looking down at her baby boy. "This is William Fox Jr." She smiles and looks at her husband. "Will's got Monica Diane. And Dad's got Dana Katharine."

2 ½ years later:
William Fox Mulder looked through the Plexiglas at his newborn son, Dana had given birth 3 hours prior and he held in his hands his youngest triplet, Will Jr. His daughters were sleeping next to their mother in her hospital room
"You see that baby right there? That's your little brother. Your going to have to watch out for him, can you do that for me?"
"Yes."
"Good, because he's going to look up to you. And whatever he sees you doing, that's what he's going to do. Your going to have to teach him things, let him know what's right and what's wrong. Your sisters will help. But I have a feeling he'll look up to his big brother more than his big sister. You love him ok? Whatever you do you love him. He'll always be your little brother, no matter what."
"Ittle brother. What name?"
"His name is Jonathan Michel. You'll probably call him Johnny though, do you like that name Johnny? He's named after your grandpa Dogett. Just like your named after me and your grandpa Mulder. And your sisters are named after your grandmas."
"Where sisters?"
"Sleeping, with your mother."
"I go see momma? Go sleep with sisters?"
"Sure, lets go see momma."
