Emily had just got out of surgery and now Scully was in there. Mulder sat
by Emily's bedside and hoped that nothing went wrong in the next hour. All
he could do was wait. He looked down at the tiny hand resting in his palm
and couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside the tiny head it
belonged to. A scared helpless little four year old was rushed away from
her Grandmother in the middle of the night, then taken away from him only
to be rushed into surgery with a bunch of strange doctors. He could only
imagine how scared she was. He remembered how a lone tear had slid down her
face when they were giving her the anesthesia.
They had found out something useful about Emily during surgery. Emily could get over things very, very quickly. So not only did she not need stitches, but also she woke up screaming in pain halfway through the surgery because the anesthesia wore off faster than it would a normal person. Emily couldn't heal as fast as the super soldiers, but she did have the ability to heal faster than the average four year old. This meant she would probably be waking up soon. He had hoped he would have been able to be in with Scully when the baby was born, but the doctor had said because of the special circumstances, it would be better if he wasn't. Mulder turned the tiny hand over and traced the lines on her palm with his thumb. He looked over at the clock on the wall; 7:00. Eighteen minuets until his baby girl was born. He kissed the back of her hand and walked down to the room Scully was in and waited. Eighteen minuets later, Mulder thought the clock was wrong. He stopped a nurse.
"Excuse me what time is it?"
"Seven eighteen sir."
Mulder began pacing back and forth; thoughts of what could be wrong spun around his head. Then he saw nurses rushing down the hallway that Emily was in. He began rushing where the nurses were rushing to see if Emily was okay. He tried to ask some of the nurses what room they were headed to but they wouldn't say. He eventually ran a head of them all, adrenalin pulsed through him. When he got to Emily's room, he rushed over to her small body only to realize his foolishness. The nurses and doctors were no longer following him and Emily was safe and sound in her bed. He let out a breath he didn't even realize he had been holding and slowly walked back to Scully. When he got there, he was told Scully was back in her room and little baby Mulder was in a incubator to keep her warm because she was born early, but aside from that she was fine. He went in to see Scully and the first thing out of her mouth was:
"What should we name her?"
"Hmm... Where was our REAL first kiss Scully? I mean as more than just friends."
"Outside in front of my apartment... Why?"
"What was the weather like Scully?"
"It was raining..."
"How about her first name is Ame? Meaning rain in Japanese."
"That's beautiful Mulder. Okay... you picked her first name I pick her middle name... how about Lynn... it means beautiful one."
Mulder smiled down at her and they kissed, again, and again, until finally, someone standing in the doorway cleared their throat. It was Mrs. Scully.
"Hi mom."
"Hi Mrs..."
"What did I tell you about that Mrs. Scully stuff? Call me Maggie."
"Okay Mrs... Maggie."
Scully smiled at the pair in front in front of her.
"So, where are my grandchildren?"
"Emily's in room 450 and Ame is in the nursery."
"Emily's in room 450, why?"
He had forgotten to tell Scully...oops. He smiled at her nervously.
"Oh well see... She had these implants..."
He saw her eyes grow wide so he reached over and closed her mouth before she could interrupt him.
"...but I took care of everything. I found a doctor that you knew in med school and Emily knew him too. He took them out, no questions asked, and everything is fine."
Scully stopped and thought for a minute.
"And I should be asking you why Ame is in the nursery, by the way."
"Well at the last minute, I got tests back from the Lone Gunmen. They said if we took the tumor out it would kill you and the baby, So instead I warned the doctors, I showed them the tests and they agreed with me and let me sign the papers because you were already under anesthesia. At first they wouldn't do it I had to get your doctor friend from med school to help again... We owe him, big time."
Mulder smiled and kissed her hoping to divert her attention from the fact that he had gone against her wishes... with good reason though, and yet she was the last person to find out about everything. She smiled back at him and he knew he was forgiven.
