That evening Scully was trying to get her daughter dressed for bed, while her husband was in the office finishing up some work. Storm wasn't having any of it. Scully sighed.
"Storm. We talked about this. You need to be good or you're sleeping in your bed. Now do you want the blue pajamas or pink pajamas?" Scully asked. Storm went over to her bed and pointed at the blue pajamas.
The older woman smiled and helped her daughter change into her PJs. Scully smiled at her daughter and kissed her happily as Storm finished dressing herself.
The child quickly grabbed onto her stuffed fox and stuffed dog before she followed her mother. Scully smiled at her daughter and led her to the bathroom.
Scully gently removed the stuffed animals from her daughter's arms so Storm could use the bathroom. The child pouted, but went to use the restroom. The woman patiently waited for her daughter.
When Storm was done, she went over to her mother and took the stuffed animals back. Scully smiled and went to her bedroom. Storm quickly followed.
"Mama," Storm mumbled as Scully helped her into the bed.
"What is it sweetheart?" Scully asked softly as she changed into her pajamas. Storm hugged her toys close to her and looked at her mother.
"Book tonight?" Storm asked as she rubbed her eyes. Scully smiled as she climbed into the bed with her daughter. Storm gave her mother the stuffed dog.
"Yes. I will read you the next chapter in the book Stormy," Scully said as she laid down. Storm nodded and climbed into her mother's arms. The woman loved and cuddled on her daughter.
"Mama, I'm cold," Storm mumbled. Scully smiled and covered them with a blanket. Storm yawned and snuggled into Scully. Soon Storm was fast asleep.
"Hey hun," Mulder spoke as he entered the room. Scully shushed her husband and kissed on her daughter. Mulder smiled.
"She fell asleep pretty quickly huh?" Mulder spoke softly. Scully smiled and kissed on her daughter again. Storm mumbled and tried to get closer to her mother.
Mulder smiled, and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a tank top. Scully smiled up at her husband as he climbed into bed. The man climbed under the covers and got as close to his wife as he could. Scully smiled and kissed her husband.
"Your beard is still scratchy," Scully smiled. Mulder grinned and returned the kiss. The woman smiled and ran her fingers through the beard.
"I'll shave it soon," Mulder smiled. Scully rolled her eyes and snuggled into her husband before she tried to sleep. The man kissed his wife's forehead and tried to sleep as well.
Storm woke up a few hours later shivering. The child looked over at both her parents. Mulder was still facing her and Scully, but Scully was facing away from her family.
The child cried and pulled on her mother. Scully slowly awoke and looked at her daughter. The woman yawned and rolled back towards her daughter.
Storm mumbled happily and crawled back into her mother's arms. Scully nuzzled on her daughter, half awake. The child felt happy.
"Love you Mama," Storm said happily. Scully smiled down at her daughter and kissed on her.
"I love you too Storm. You need to go back to sleep. Okay?" Scully explained softly. Storm nodded and hugged her fox close to her. The woman smiled and tried going back to sleep.
Mulder woke up a while after that. The man laid in bed for a bit, then got up. Storm woke up as 0she heard her father open the bedroom door. The man yawned as he walked down the hallway to the bathroom.
The child crawled over to her father's side of the bed and laid down. Storm hugged her fox close to her and yawned. Mulder walked back into the room as Storm tried to cover herself back up.
"Storm, what are you doing? Go back over to your Mom," Mulder yawned as he approached his side of the bed. Storm looked up at her father and smiled.
"Storm now. Or you can go back to your room," Mulder scolded gently. Storm mumbled unhappily and scooted over. Mulder yawned and climbed back into bed. Storm watched her father as he laid down.
Storm quickly snuggled up to her father as soon as he laid down. Mulder snuggled into his child and covered them with the blanket. The child mumbled happily and hugged onto her father to fall asleep.
The next morning, when Scully woke up, Storm was clinging to her. Scully smiled, kissed, and loved on her child. Storm yawned and tangled her hands in her mother's shirt. The woman brushed her daughter's hair out of her eyes.
Mulder let out a light snore and rolled over in his sleep. Scully smiled at her family and slowly got out of bed. Storm mumbled unhappily but remained asleep. The woman smiled, collected her clothes, and went to go shower.
When Scully returned to the bedroom, Storm was cuddled up in her father's arms. Mulder was still fast asleep. The woman smiled and gently woke her husband.
"Hey Mulder. We need to get Storm ready for school," Scully spoke softly. Mulder yawned and snuggled into his daughter. Scully rolled her eyes before she gently smacked her husband.
"Ow, what was that for?" Mulder asked as he yawned. Scully was standing next to the bed with her arms crossed.
"Storm needs to get ready for school," Scully said firmly. Mulder nodded and tried to wake his daughter. Storm whined and grabbed onto her father.
"Storm, it's time to wake up. You need to get ready," Mulder smiled at his daughter as she woke up. Scully gently detached her daughter from her husband and picked her up.
"Mommy I want Daddy," Storm mumbled as she laid on her mother. Scully kissed her daughter as she carried her to the bedroom. The child yawned and closed her eyes.
"Storm, you need to get ready. I need to go to work," Scully said firmly as she sat her daughter down on the bed. Storm rubbed her eyes as her mother picked out two outfits for her daughter.
"Mama, dog," Storm mumbled before Scully could show her daughter her choices. The woman collected the shirt her daughter wanted, some clean underwear and jeans. Storm took the clothes from her mother and got dressed.
After she got dressed, Storm slowly went downstairs to find her parents. Mulder and Scully were in the kitchen. The woman was drinking a cup of coffee while the man got breakfast ready for his daughter.
Storm mumbled unhappily as she sat at the kitchen table. Mulder gave Storm a small plate of scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. The child grabbed a fork and slowly started eating.
"Hey kiddo," Mulder started out as he sat next to his daughter. Storm took a bite of her food and looked up at her father. Mulder smiled at his child.
"You need to be good today. You need to try to make friends and participate in class. Do you understand?" Mulder asked. Storm nodded and ate more of her breakfast. Mulder smiled and ate some eggs himself.
When Storm was done eating, she got off the chair, and went off to find her shoes. Scully smiled at her daughter as she finished eating her bagel. Mulder kissed his wife and gave her Storm's lunch box.
"Thank you hun. I love you," Scully smiled as she returned the kiss. Mulder grinned at his wife. Suddenly he felt a tug on his shirt.
"Hey kiddo. You need to be good today. I'll come pick you up again, okay?" Mulder smiled as he knelt next to his daughter. Storm nodded and quickly hugged onto her father.
"Love you Daddy," Storm mumbled as she hugged him tightly. Mulder smiled and snuggled on his child. Storm pulled away and played with her father's beard for a few moments.
"Come on Stormy," Scully spoke softly. Storm grabbed onto her father and looked up at her mother. Mulder gently removed his daughter's hands off his shirt and stood up. Scully took her daughter's hand and led her out to the car.
Mulder smiled at his family as they left the kitchen. The man yawned, grabbed a cup of coffee and went up to his office. He hoped Storm had a better day at school today.
