Mulder held a camera in his hand and pointed it at the little two-year-old
sitting in her mother's lap.
"Mark!"
"Mark look at daddy!"
The little two-year-old laughed and clapped his hands above his head and squealed.
"Daddy!"
Just then, a screaming erupted from one of the back rooms. Mulder and Scully couldn't live out of her apartment anymore. It was too small, so they bought a house.
"Awwww... What's the matter?"
Scully picked up the little tiny body, making sure to put one hand securely under his bottom and the other behind his head. She rocked back and forth bouncing him slightly.
"Awww... Come on, what's wrong with my little Ethan?"
Another wail then emerged from the crib next to Ethan's. Scully looked over and saw Emily hanging around in the doorway. She smiled at her.
"Daddy wants to know where you keep the candles."
"Oh, tell him they're in the cabinet next to the stove, and that Ethan, Andy, and I will be out in a minute... Well, if you help that is."
She made a nervous smile at Emily and she heard her run to tell Mulder. Then she heard footsteps running back.
"Here Ethan's finally quiet, but he's going to start up again if we don't get him out of the same room as his sister... Speaking of sisters, where's Ame?"
"In the living room, trying to keep Will out of the cake so Dad can find the candles."
"Okay you take Ethan before he starts crying again, and I'll take care of Andrea."
Scully handed Ethan's small form to Emily. Scully and Mulder's only worry about Emily being in the holding tanks for so long is that she would never age, but now here stands a 11 year old Emily carrying her baby brother into the living room so her mommy can quiet his twin sister. The twins were not expected, but they weren't not wanted. They didn't like the term "accident" in the Mulder house hold. They preferred the term surprise. See a accident is something that wasn't expected to happen and wasn't meant to happen, but a surprise is something that wasn't expected to happen, but that's only because you didn't know you wanted it until you got it. Scully looked down at the now quiet Andy looking up at her mother with her big wide brown eyes.
"Girl, you got your daddy's eyes... You're gunna be real trouble when you grow up... You and your brother Ethan. Emily, Ame, and Mark all have my eyes... but you two got your fathers eyes... That's gunna be real trouble... I have a hard time saying no to those eyes."
Scully smiled down at Andy and Andy cooed. Scully cooed back. Then she heard a soft knock on the door. It was Emily.
"Sorry to break up this moment, but right now Daddy is single handed trying to keep a eight month year old from shoving his face in a cake AND a two year old from pulling it on to the floor."
Scully smiled and laughed a bit.
"Oh and might I add, his only help is a certain little four year old."
Scully laughed picturing the sight in her head.
"Well we better go then."
She and Emily walked out into the living room, but the site was even funnier now that she was really seeing it. Ethan was sitting in his high chair trying to pull the cake closer, Will was screaming "MY CAKE" and trying to pull it towards him, and Mulder was STILL looking for the candles.
"Mulder the cake!"
Mulder came running in and grabbed the cake just before it slid off the edge of the table. Scully put Andy in her high chair and walked into the kitchen. She walked right over to the cabinet she told Mulder the candles were in and opened it.
"They're not in there Scully I looked."
Scully came walking back out of the kitchen with a box of candles in her hand.
"Really Mulder?"
Maggie Scully walked through the front door with Skinner, whom she had been going out with for the past year.
"You're even MARRIED now, yet you STILL call each other "Mulder" and "Scully" don't you?"
Skinner laughed slightly as there was a knock on the door.
"Could you get that for me mom?"
It was Agent's Reyes and Dogget who were added to the X-Files for extra help because of Mulder and Scully's new family. They looked awfully close though.
"Hey Monica! Hey John!"
Mulder eyed them suspiciously as he noticed Monica and John's fingers laced together. However, Skinner spoke first with a smile playing across his face.
"So I see that basement office is more of a dating service than an office."
Everyone laughed at that because they all seemed to guess what he was talking about. Emily however grew impatient.
"Okay lets get this show on the road!"
Everyone laughed again as Scull stuck a candle in the center of the Barney the dinosaur cake and Mulder lit it. Ame started the song and then everyone joined in.
"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Mark! Happy Birthday to you!"
Will waited a second then blew out the candle. Everyone clapped and Maggie got out her camera. First Maggie took a picture of Monica and John feeding each other cake and laughing. Next a picture of Ame and Mark imitating "Uncle John" and "Aunt Mon". They thought it was so funny. Then a picture of Emily and Ame helping Mark open his presents. Then a picture of Mark chasing Ame because she stole one of his presents that she thought was cool.
"Hey Mark there's one more surprise for you outside!"
Mulder and Scully led Mark outside to a swing set that awaited him. Ame and Mark both squealed with delight as Emily helped Mark down the slide and pushed Ame on one of the swings.
"Now Mark, you will share it with your brothers and your sisters. Right?"
Mark nodded his head and climbed onto another one of the swings. Emily pushed them both as Mulder put Ethan and Andy in the swings with sides and leg hole and everything to keep them from falling out. Mulder then pushed Andy and Scully pushed Ethan. Everyone laughed and laughed.
"Hey uhhh... Fox."
"Uh, oh. You only call me Fox when you have that "we need to talk" attitude."
"Well we do need to talk."
"Good talk or bad talk?"
"Depends on how you feel about having another baby."
"What?"
"Smile!"
And Mrs. Scully snapped a picture of the seven Mulders. Little did she know it was really eight.
