Questions were being shouted at her, but she couldn't understand. Thoughts were flying around in her head, and she couldn't sort them out. And on top of all of it, she still had to deal with the contractions. The baby would be here soon, she knew that, she just hoped it wouldn't be too soon, they were still in the elevator. After Joanie had left the room to retrieve a doctor, Mulder had helped her to a chair. No more than 5 minutes later a team of doctors and nurses had rushed in and whisked her away, a bewildered Mulder following closely behind. She had been able to answer a few of the questions they had for her, but then it had become too much. Finally they reached the delivery room and Scully was assisted to the bed. Just as another pain hit her she felt Mulder grab her hand. He brushed a strand of hair away from her face as she forced herself to take even breaths.
"I'm not ready...I don't have a place for it to sleep...nothing for it to wear..."
His repeated attempts to get her to quiet down did not work, so finally he pressed his lips against hers. That did the trick. She pulled back and smiled at him. He thought that she was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen, even with all of the sweat. At that instant a doctor walked in.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Johnston. I need to check you Dana, if you'll just step outside sir..."
"No," they both replied in unison. The doctor didn't look happy, but she didn't push it. She looked down and whistled.
"Well I don't need to check you, the baby's crowning." Scully looked at Mulder and tears formed in her eyes.
"Help me."
He didn't need to respond. He grabbed her hand and supported her head as she pushed. Two pushes later Scully screamed and the baby slid from within her to the waiting hands of the doctor. Scully's cries were soon accompanied by the baby's.
"Congratulations you two...it's a girl."
Dr. Johnston laid the baby on Scully's chest. Instantly her hands were examining the tiny infant looking for anything that might have been wrong.
"Ma'am, I need to take her to the nursery to clean, weigh, and measure her, and then I'll bring her back for a feeding. Are you breastfeeding?"
"Um...yeah."
Scully reluctantly handed her daughter to the nurse and turned her attention back to the doctor.
After everyone was gone, Mulder decided to ask the question he had been dying to ask, but had never felt the time was right.
"Um...is the baby...um...
She smiled at him. "Yes Mulder, she's yours."
"Sorry...I just..."
She pressed her fingers against his lips and smiled at him. Then her smile faded.
"Mulder...I...how did this happen? I'm not supposed to be able to have babies...I..."
"I don't know Scully. I don't know. She's just our miracle...and I'm happy with that answer." She nodded. "What are you going to call her?"
"Samantha...after your sister."
He smiled at her with tear filled eyes just as the nurse rounded the corner with their daughter. The nurse handed Samantha to Scully and she immediately kissed her tiny little girl. "How big is she?"
"Five pounds, twelve ounces, eighteen and a half inches long."
Mulder laughed, "She's short like her mommy." Scully playfully punched him. He leaned over and kissed the tiny infant. The nurse smiled "You three sure are a cute family. You have a beautiful miracle there."
Scully looked up, "You have no idea."
A.N. Yay! You made it. Ok…I know what you're thinking…"She actually finished one?" I know…but I thought if I started doing short pieces, and posting them all at once…and I get enough reviews HintHintHint I'll start doing longer pieces. So PLEASE review…..and you can have a fifty dollar bill! just not from me! Tee hee.
