In five more days it will be Christmas. Mulder and me are doing last minute shopping to make sure we got everything for Christmas. We been doing the shopping online because of my morning sickness, but I feel better now. Mulder's been a big help lately with all the stuff I've had to do. His is happy about the baby. Tomorrow he is coming with me to my doctor's appointment. Tomorrow they can tell me what I'm having. I can't wait.
"Scully, what should we get Bill for Christmas". I just realize that we have to see Bill. He doesn't know about that Mulder's coming and he doesn't know about the baby. I just hope he doesn't start anything with Mulder.
"A card. I'll put money in it".
"What did we get your nieces and nephews?"
"We got them board games, remember."
"Now I remember, I asked you which ones they would like, but all you did was run to the bathroom and throw up."
"Don't remind me." Then we go to check out.

"Everything is normal. Looks healthy. Is a good size… Do you want to know the sex?" I was happy to know that the baby was fine. I look at Mulder. He said he didn't care before if it was a Girl or Boy but it would be easier if we did know.
"It's up to you Scully." He says
I sit there thinking. I would be happy with a boy or girl. It would be easier to know what baby clothes to buy and what color to paint the room.
"How about I write it down on a piece of paper and you look at it if you want to know?" Doctor Madden says.
"Sure".
He goes over to his desk and pulls out a piece of paper and starts writing. Then he folds it up and puts it in an a red envelope.
Scully's house

Mulder picked up the tree yesterday. The damn thing is 6 feet tall. Where going to decorate it tonight. He's going to spend the night here, so it's easier to go to mom's house in the morning. I just hope that Bill does flip out about the whole thing. Bill can be a real asshole when he wants to be.
"You ready to decorate." He asks as he sits the boxes of ornament on the couch.
"Ready as I'll ever be."

"Beautiful." He says.
"Ya... I have to go to the bathroom." I say and I get up to go to the bathroom.
"You don't feel sick do you?" He asks. He's always concerned about me.
"No". I say then shut the door. I do my business and 3 minutes later I walk out.
"Do you what to watch a movie?" He asks. I see something on the tree. Mulder must have put it there.
"What's that?" I point to the tree.
"It's a tree. My god, the book didn't say pregnancy causes memory lose."
"It doesn't. Mulder, you read a book on pregnancy." I have to smile. Mulder's face is bright red.
"We I um, I wanted to make sure what to do. I want to make sure you're alright. I want to make sure I don't hurt you."
"Mulder you could never hurt me." I can tell his embarrassed so drop the subject. I walk to the tree and take off the red envelope.
"What's this?" I ask. I know what it is but I wanted to hear him say it.
"It's the answer to the mystery."
"Should we open it?" I ask as a walk to the couch and sit next to him.
"It's up to you." I looked at it for a minute. Then hand it to him.
"You do it!"
"Are you sure. Maybe you should do it." He says.
"No Mulder, I want you to do it. I'm sure." I saw softly. He looks at me. Then he opens it.
"Ok, baby you are a... wow. Two!"
"Mulder. It's either Boy or Girl... No!" A say in disbelieve. It can't be. Can it?
"Let me see that!" I lean in to him. His right. The doctor wrote two.
"A Boy and-"
"Girl" I finish. That's why I so fat. There's a picture attached to the letter. A picture of our little boy and girl. Wow. Two. One girl and one boy.
I just realized that I push him down when I went to see the letter. Now my head is resting on his chest and we are looking at the picture in his hand. Our babies.
"Scully". He whispers in my ear.
"Yes Mulder?"
"This is the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for."
"Me too."
