Yesterday is history - tomorrow is a mystery - today is a gift.
Part 6
"I guess we better go see your Mom then before she decides to kill me"
"Mulder she might be upset that it's taken us nearly six months to tell
her, but I'm sure she'll be happy about it I'm just worried about Bill,
when we have to tell him in about oh . . . six months time"
"Scully do we really have to tell him this year"
"Mulder if I were you if you want to spend Christmas with your wife,
I'd recommend it he'll find out from our Mom otherwise when he asks
'What's that SOB doing spending Christmas here, it's suppost to be
family only' and of course, Mom will say you have every right be
there seeing as you guys are married you might, actually want to tell
him before Christmas get Mom to do it of need be"
"Your right Chuck, Mulder go get me a thin pair of socks and my boots
and put something on your feet we're going to my Mom's house,
before blabber mouth here tells her, do you want to come with us Charlie"
"Hell yes, do you think I want to miss this for the world"
"No, knowing you your going to enjoy this."
All I could say to this was grin.
Mulder got up from the table without a word and disappeared around the corner
a moment later, I turned to Dana and said,
"Congratulations D you deserve some happiness and
I'm glad you chose a decent guy as well"
Dana came around the table and gave me a hug and whispered in my ear
"Thank you Charlie I'm glad I've got your support"
"Your welcome D I love you ya know"
"I love you too Chucky"
I have my sister one last squeeze before letting go.
Just then Mulder came back into the kitchen and handed
Dana a pair of socks and a pair of black high heeled boots
she gave him a quick peck on the lips that
he tried to lengthen but she pulled back and he pouted
I couldn't help but chuckle at that.
Dana threw a dirty look at me and went to sit back in her chair
that she had just vacated to put her socks on.
Five minutes later the three of us headed out the door,
Dana locked the door behind her, pocketing her keys.
We took Dana and Mulder's car, Mulder in the driving seat,
Dana in the passenger seat and I was sat in the middle of the
backseat. I decided to get as much information about my
sister's husband who all I know about the guy is the few details
Dana has shared with over the years as well as Mom and Mizzy
even Bill seemed to always weave the guys name into every phone
conversation we have had in the last half decade, you'd think
he was the one working with him!
"So Dana's told me your a profiler"
"Hmm yeah I got my degree back in '82 in Psychology,
I used to be a profiler in Behavioural Science until I left
in '91, Dana tells me your a lecture what do you teach"
"Yes my major is English Lit. But I also dabble with painting"
"Your an artist"
"I dabble with painting but I don't consider myself to be
an artist"
"Oh don't be so modest Charlie you have great talent, it's only
because of the Captain that your did English Literature, You know
that painting in my hallway Mulder"
"Yeah that sea scape one"
"Yeah that one, that's one of Charlie's paintings it was a
Christmas present from when I was first partnered with you in'92"
"You have my painting on the wall of your hall"
"Yeah of course I do why wouldn't I"
"I dunno, I guess I thought you'd not want to hang it"
"Of course I'd want to hang it, it's a beautiful painting"
"How many children have you got Charlie"
"Two boys George who's almost 8 and Henry is 6"
I didn't want to tell the yet that Mary is pregnant again with twins,
I'm waiting to tell them when we get to Mom's house.
