Chapter Six
Margaret Scully arrived to watch Emily as Scully and Mulder prepared to leave for their trip to Vegas. Maggie hugged her daughter and then she turned to Mulder, giving him a huge hug as well. "Mommy and Daddy are going on a date!" Emily piped up.
Maggie raised one eyebrow as she looked questioningly at her daughter. "I'll explain everything to you later, Mom. You and Emily have fun," Scully said to her mom.
"We will," Maggie said as she accepted a frosted heart-shaped cookie from her only granddaughter.
"Emily ~ sweetie, be a good girl for your grandma," Scully said as she told her daughter goodbye.
"I will, Mommy. I hope you and daddy come back with a baby!"
Looking at Mulder, Scully couldn't keep a straight face. She knew her mother would have a ton of questions later. After they said all their goodbyes, Scully grabbed her luggage and disappeared out the door with her partner, Fox Mulder.
As they left for the airport, Mulder and Scully were joking about Emily's send-off. "Your poor mother. She probably thinks we are gonna tie the knot in Vegas," Mulder said.
"But it's only our first date!" Scully gasped.
"Yeah, we better wait for the honeymoon," he said as he gave her a sexy wink.
"Just because I said I wanted your sperm, doesn't mean-."
"It doesn't mean what, Scully? Do you mean you're not attracted to me?"
"No, I didn't say that at all. It's just that we are always busy with work... and stuff... and we -."
"We've never had the chance to do the wild mambo," he cut in with a smirk.
She broke into laughter. "I can see you're going to make this 'date' very interesting," she said.
"I would never give away my sperm on the first date."
"All joking aside, how do you feel about all this... being Emily's daddy... and the in vitro fertilization and co-parenting with me?"
"There's no one else I would rather impregnate," he told her honestly. "Scully, you and I are going to have one amazing kid. The very best."
"Mulder, just how many babies do you want?" she asked. "Because they might use more than one embryo due to my age... and well, you never know what the result might be."
"Do you mean multiples?"
"Yes, multiple babies. Twins or triplets."
"I would be happy with just one... but I will take whatever we can get, as long as it's with you"
As he pulled the car into the airport parking lot, Scully reached over, kissing his cheek. "Thank you, Mulder. I am so excited. We are going on a date to Vegas... and we're having a baby... or babies."
"One thing at a time, Scully."
