Scully and me stood outside her mother's door. This was it. Bill was in
town and we were going to have to tell him. Scully was wearing a very baggy
sweat jacket so he wouldn't be able to tell right away, but it was time.
Mrs. Scully answered the door and hugged us both. We made her PROMISE not
to tell.
"Fox, Dana, I'm so glad to see you!"
"You too mom."
"Yea Mrs...."
"What did I tell you about that Mrs. Scully thing?"
"Sorry. I mean, I missed you too Maggie."
She smiled.
"That's better."
Then Bill came down the stairs.
"Hey Dana!"
Scully moved to hid behind me.
"What no hug for your brother?"
"Uh... Listen..."
"I wasn't asking you! I wasn't even talking to you."
Scully put her hand up.
"Bill we need to talk first, all of us."
Bill and Maggie moved to let us in. Bill and Maggie sat down on one couch and me and Scully took the other. I saw a slight flash of anger when Scully reached over for my hand.
"Listen Bill, Mulder and me..."
"You're not getting married are you?"
Bill asked the question with a hint of fear in his voice.
"No."
Scully answered with such surety in her voice it scared me. So I decided to add...
"Not yet anyway."
With a bit of a laugh.
"Anyways... Bill I'm having a baby."
Bill's whole face lit up and he launched up to hug me.
"Oh Dana, that's great!"
Reality came crashing back though and Bill let go.
"Wait.. D-Dana...you...I mean...wh-wh-who's the father?"
If I thought he was scared before he was PETRIFIED when he asked this time. His voice even cracked a bit.
"Well, Bill.."
Scully sat back down next to me and grabbed my hand so hard I thought she was cutting off circulation. Her nails were digging into the back of my hand and I felt blood dripping out.
"...it's Mulder."
I made a sort of whining noise and she let go. I pulled my hand back to find four small holes and streaks of blood. She looked at me and said sorry over and over with her eyes, while only saying it once and then taking me to the kitchen to clean me up.
We could hear Maggie and Bill screaming for a while in the living room, and then the noise stopped. Little did we know it was because Maggie had had her say and now the two were spying on us.
"Mulder I am so sorry."
"You know my mom never did kiss my boo-boos all better like all the other moms."
She smiled and even laughed a little.
"Well maybe I will have to make up for what you lacked in childhood."
Scully gave a little smirk then kissed my "boo-boos" all better. Each and everyone many times while licking up some blood too. "Better?"
"Much."
I picked Scully up and sat her on the counter, she was still so light, and then I sat next to her. She laid her head on my shoulder and I draped an arm across her. We had become much costumed to that position, we both found it comfortable and comforting.
"You know what Scully?"
"What?"
"I was bottle fed as a kid too."
Scully laughed but I barley got to hear it before Bill came storming in. He dragged me out of the room by the shirt collar even through Scully's protests.
"Dana Sweetie you've got to let them work out their differences..wait...Mulder's not armed is he?"
"No he left it at home."
"Good."

We were both trying to be quite so Scully and Maggie wouldn't hear us.
"You leave my sister alone."
"Why should I Bill?"
"Your bad news Mr. Mulder, leave her alone."
"She's carrying MY child and I love it and I love her."
"No you don't love her. She was just some lucky catch, and now you figure since she is carrying your child you HAVE to love her."
"That's not true!"
"Yes it is!"
"If you REALLY loved her why did you wait till she was pregnant to admit it....to anyone ever her."
I felt a pang of guilt, I knew he was right I didn't ever tell anyone.
"If you love her Mr. Mulder you will get as far away from her as possible."
"What? Why?"
"What I told you in the hospital was true..."
"No... Scully said it wasn't."
"She lied, she felt she HAD to give you a chance because it was your child and all."
"No."
"Well then how come it took booze for her to get with you, and how come it took a baby for you to say those three words?"
I could feel tears forming in my eyes. He was right...she was drunk..
"Well...uh..tell your sister good-bye for me."
