After school, Storm followed her teacher as she led the kids outside to the busses and pick-up zone. The teacher dropped the kids who rode the busses off first. She then lead the other children over to the pick-up zone.
As Storm followed her teacher, she saw her father, and quickly ran over to him. Mulder grinned and picked his daughter up. The child quickly held onto her father.
"Hey sweetheart. I love you," Mulder spoke softly. Storm hugged her father tightly. The teacher approached Mulder and smiled.
"I left a couple notes in Storm's backpack for you and your wife to read. I look forward to seeing Storm tomorrow," the teacher spoke with Mulder happily. Mulder nodded and talked with the teacher. When they were done, Mulder took his daughter out to the car.
"You ready to go get ice cream?" Mulder asked his daughter happily. Storm quickly nodded.
"I wanna go home though," Storm mumbled. Mulder smiled and kissed her as he buckled her in. Storm looked up at her father.
"We have ice cream at home Stormy. Is that what you want?" Mulder asked. Storm nodded happily. Mulder kissed his daughter before he got into the driver's seat and drove home.
As Mulder pulled into the driveway, Storm unbuckled herself. The man parked the car, and got his daughter out of the back seat. Mulder collected the backpack and went inside.
Storm quickly went to the living room and got into her toybox. Mulder smiled at his child and went through her backpack. He found the notes and quickly read them.
The notes were talking about Storm's day. Storm didn't want to interact with the teacher or the other students. Mulder sighed and went through the bag some more. He found the photo Scully left for their daughter and smiled.
"Daddy. Ice cream?" Storm asked as she returned to the room while hugging a stuffed dog. Mulder smiled, put the backpack down and got his daughter some ice cream.
"Thanks Daddy!" Storm said happily as she ate the ice cream. Mulder smiled and sat down with his daughter.
A couple hours later, Scully walked into her home. The woman removed her shoes, and put her purse away before she went to look for her husband and daughter
She found her husband laying in his sofa chair while their daughter was fast asleep in his arms. Scully smiled at her husband and approached him.
"Hey hun," Scully spoke softly as she kissed her husband. Mulder smiled and returned the kiss. Storm yawned and snuggled into her father.
"How did she behave today?" the woman spoke softly trying not to wake her child. Mulder sighed. Scully gave her husband a look.
"The teacher told me that Storm didn't want to interact with her or the other students. She ate alone at lunch, and refused to talk. Here are the notes," Mulder explained. Scully took them from her husband and read them. Mulder went back to watching TV.
About thirty minutes later Storm slowly woke up. Scully looked down at her daughter and ran her fingers through her hair. Storm rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"How was your nap baby?" Scully asked softly. Storm whined and laid back on her mother. Scully cuddled on her child happily.
"Daddy?" Storm asked as she looked around for her father. Scully looked at her daughter.
"Daddy is making dinner right now sweetheart," Scully explained. Storm nodded and laid back down on her mother.
"Mama," Storm mumbled softly. Scully looked down at her child and smiled.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow," Storm mumbled. Scully loved on her daughter and smiled at her.
"You have to Stormy. Also, you need to talk to the other kids and your teacher. You need to participate," Scully explained. Storm shook her head and played with her mother's shirt.
"Why not Storm?" Scully asked. Storm shook her head again.
"I don't want too. I want to stay home with Daddy and Mama," Storm mumbled. Scully smiled at her child and played with her hair again.
"Hey dinner is ready," Mulder said as he entered the room. Storm looked up at her father, then quickly climbed off her mother. Scully smiled and followed her family.
After dinner Storm was sitting on the couch next to her mother playing with a couple stuffed animals. Mulder was reading a book while Scully watched a movie.
"Mama," Storm looked up at her mother. Scully smiled down at her daughter.
"What is it Stormy?" Scully asked with a smile.
"I want to sleep with you tonight," Storm mumbled. Scully looked over at her husband. Mulder nodded and went back to his book.
"That should be fine, as long as you behave yourself tonight and you don't cry about going to school tomorrow. Do you understand?" Scully explained firmly. Storm nodded and went back to playing with her toys. Scully smiled and hoped school would get better for Storm.
