Storm suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. The child looked around and noticed it was still dark out. Storm rubbed her eyes, grabbed her fox, and walked to her parents room.
The child approached her parents door and grabbed onto the door handle. When Storm found out the door was unlocked, she mumbled happily and opened the door.
Mulder was on his back snoring away. Scully was facing away from her husband fast asleep. Storm looked at her parents and walked to the end of their bed.
The child pushed her stool towards the bed, and climbed on it. Storm set her fox on the bed and quickly climbed onto the bed. When she got on the bed, she waited a few moments to see if either of her parents woke up.
When Mulder and Scully remained asleep, Storm slowly crawled over to them and laid next to her father. Mulder groaned and yawned. Storm snuggled into her father and grabbed onto him.
"Storm?" Mulder asked half awake. Storm mumbled happily as he woke up. The man looked down at his daughter.
"Sweetheart, you need to go to bed," Mulder groaned as he rolled over and hugged his child close to him. Storm hugged her fox close to her.
"I want you Daddy," Storm mumbled unhappily. The child was stressing out over starting school, but Mulder didn't realize that. The man snuggled on his child and loved on her.
"Okay Storm. But if you're going to be in our bed, you need to sleep. Do you understand?" Mulder asked firmly. Storm nodded happily and yawned. The man covered his child with a blanket and dozed off.
A couple hours later, Scully rolled over and tried to snuggle into her husband. When she felt something was in her way, she slowly woke up. The woman looked around to see why she woke up.
When Scully saw her daughter cuddled up to Mulder, she smiled. Storm was pressed up against her father, while grabbing onto his shirt. Mulder let out a small snore. Scully smiled, kissed her husband gently, and cuddled up to him as well.
In the morning, Mulder was awake downstairs with his wife. Scully was getting her daughter's backpack and lunch together while her husband cooked breakfast. When the adults were done with what they were doing, they went back upstairs to wake their daughter.
Storm was fast asleep in her parents bed. The child was still hugging her stuffed fox close to her. Scully smiled at her daughter before she tried to wake her.
"Stormy, it's time to wake up sweetie," Scully spoke softly as she woke her child. Storm cried and hugged her fox close to her. Scully kissed her daughter gently and brushed her hair out of her eyes.
"Storm. Time to go to school," Mulder said as he picked his child up. Storm whined and hugged onto her father. Mulder kissed his daughter and went to her bedroom.
"Daddy. I don't want to go," Storm whined unhappily. Mulder smiled and snuggled on his daughter. Storm snuggled into her father and yawned. The man picked out an outfit for Storm and set her down.
"Come here sweetheart," Scully spoke softly as she helped her daughter change. Storm whined and rubbed her eyes. Scully took her daughter's hand and led her downstairs.
"Mama, I don't want to go," Storm whined as she pulled on her mother's hand. Scully smiled at her daughter as she had her sit at the table.
Mulder smiled at his daughter and gave her a pancake and milk. Storm smiled happily and ate her breakfast. Mulder grinned at his wife.
When Storm was done with her breakfast, Mulder took his daughter to the front entryway. Storm whined at her father. Mulder gave his child a look.
"Daddy, please," Storm pleaded. Mulder crouched down next to his daughter and held her close. Storm quickly hugged onto her father.
"Hey, look at me," Mulder spoke softly. Storm pulled away from her father and looked at him sadly. The man smiled and brushed his daughter's hair out of her eyes. Storm grabbed onto her father's beard and played with it. Mulder grinned.
"You are going to be fine. Mama is going to take you to school on her way to work, then I'm going to pick you up when school is over okay?" Mulder explained to his child. Storm shook her head and kept playing with her father's beard. Mulder sighed and smiled at his daughter.
"Come on Stormy," Scully encouraged softly as she got her daughter's shoes on. Storm kept her grip on her father as her mother put her shoes on. Mulder gave his wife a look sensing what was about to come next.
"Let's go Storm," Scully smiled as she tried to remove her daughter from her husband. Storm became upset and started to cry. Mulder kissed his daughter and snuggled on her.
"Storm. Go to school. We can get an ice cream after I pick you up today, okay?" Mulder tried to encourage. Storm cried and shook her head. The man picked his child up and walked out to his wife's car.
Scully quickly followed after her husband and daughter. The woman had her daughter's backpack in her hand. Mulder was placing his daughter in her car seat as Scully arrived at the car.
"Daddy," Storm cried sadly. Mulder kissed on his daughter once more before he pulled away from her. Storm reached for her father. Mulder smiled at his daughter.
"Be good for Mama. Also, be good at school today. I love you," Mulder said happily before he got out of the car. Scully smiled at her husband and kissed him happily.
"I love you Fox. Thank you. I'll see you when I get home, okay?" Scully said as she smiled at her husband. Mulder smiled at his wife.
"I love you too. Drive safe," Mulder smiled before he went into the house. Storm cried as her father left. Scully got into her car and started it.
"Mommy. I want my Daddy," Storm cried from the back seat. Scully smiled in the rearview mirror as she drove to the school. Storm only called her Mommy if she really wanted something. The child rubbed her eyes.
As the couple arrived at the school, Scully found a parking spot, parked the car, and shut it off. Storm looked obviously upset. The woman smiled, got out of the car, and retrieved her daughter from the backseat.
Storm held onto her mother's hand tightly as they walked into the school. Scully smiled down at her daughter as they walked to the classroom.
"Okay Stormy. Let's put your bag up and find your seat," Scully said happily. Storm nodded and stayed close to her mother. Scully helped her daughter put her bag up and find her seat. As Storm found her seat, Scully spent a few moments with her daughter before she tried to get ready to leave.
"Mommy, no," Storm cried. Scully kissed on her daughter happily and pulled a photo out of her coat. The woman handed the photo over to her daughter.
"Here is a photo of your Daddy and me. When you miss us, just look at the photo, okay sweetheart?" Scully spoke softly. Storm nodded and looked at the photo. It was taken when Mulder and Scully just got out of the FBI, when they were living at Margaret Scully's house together.
"Bye Storm. I love you," Scully smiled as she kissed her daughter. Storm mumbled a reply as Scully got up, and left the room. The child looked around the room unhappily. She really hoped her day would go by fast.
