In the car

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" Trevor called out in a singsong voice.

"No!" Scully replied in a barely controlled voice though gritted teeth. "Funny" Mulder thought. Scully was the one who always wanted kids to. "Let's see if she can live though this!" Mulder thought gleefully in his head. Till he remembered he would have to go though this too.

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" Edward still sang in a horrible high-pitched voice that grated against Mulder and Scully's nerves.

"Stop!" Mulder finally cried out. Even he couldn't take it anymore. And why did they have to drive? Oh right because any "Normal" family would drive to their new house. Mulder finally concluded that being normal wasn't all it was cracked out to be.

"When are we going to get there? When are we going to get there? When are we going to get there?" Jesus the kid just didn't know when to stop!

"Trevor," Scully said in her no nonsense voice.

"Yes, mommy?" Trevor shot back sweetly.

"You have books, toys, and a really expensive Game-Boy advance. Find some way to amuse yourself," Scully replied.

"Okay, How much longer? How much longer? How much longer? How much longer? How."

"SHUT UP! DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK THERE!" Mulder yelled turning around in his seat.

"Mulder watch out!" Scully screamed. They were in the opposite lane, head on to a semi truck. Mulder quickly grabbed the wheel and veered into the right lane barely missing a red sports car. He then pulled into a gas station nearby and parked the car.

"Uncle Walter says if you hurt me or you let someone hurt me, he's going to kick your asses," stated the little 6-year-old boy. Mulder let out a frustrated sigh and pushed open the driver door and stepped out. Slamming the car door behind him. A few minutes later he heard Scully get out of the car and stand by him.

Mulder watched her get out of the car out of the corner of his eye. And took the time to admire her. She was wearing a strapless blue and white puffy housewife dress. With a shiny red leather belt around her waist, dangly red earrings on her ears, with her straight red hair framing her face. She looked like she had just come out of a fifties add.

"Mulder?" She asked timidly trying to gauge his mood. He just kept looking at her from the corner of his eyes. She sighed and walked up to stand beside him. "Look, I know this isn't a assignment you want. Hell I don't even want it. But we have to do it. And we will get though it alive."

"Don't make promises you can't keep Scully," Mulder warned, turning towards her with a small smile on his face.

"I always thought I wanted kids. I'm going to have to seriously rethink that," Scully stated.

"Hey! You were the one telling me to be optimistic a minute ago!" Mulder protested.

"Kidding Mulder kidding." Scully laughed. Grabbing Mulder's hand she said. "Oh, it can't be that bad."

"A least you're here with me Scully," Mulder stated, his tone serious. Scully looked up into his eyes and he was leaning down.

"Mommy and Daddy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Trevor's voice came out from the open back window. Mulder silently groaned in his head. Letting go of Scully's hand, he walked over to the car and got in. Maybe this won't be that bad. Mulder tried to work up some excitement.

"Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" Trevor started singing the Sponge Bob theme song. Then again it could be a living hell. Mulder sighed. This was going to be a long car ride.
