Friday afternoon Storm followed her teacher outside to the pickup zone. The child mumbled unhappily when she didn't see her father right away. Mulder pulled up to the school a couple minutes later.

"Daddy!" Storm became excited when she saw her father. Mulder looked at his daughter and smiled. As Mulder approached his daughter Scully got out of the passenger side of the car.

"Mama!" Storm yelled loudly when she saw Scully. Scully grinned and quickly went over to her daughter. Storm was whining and reached up for her mother.

"Hi sweetheart. I love you," Scully spoke happily as she picked up her daughter. Mulder snuggled on his daughter really quick before he talked to the teacher.

"How was school today baby?" Scully spoke softly. Storm mumbled and played with her mother's necklace. Scully kissed her daughter happily and watched her.

"Hey Dana, Storm's teacher needs to talk to us," Mulder spoke softly. Scully nodded, and set Storm down. Storm mumbled and grabbed onto her mother's shirt. The woman removed her daughter's hand from her shirt and held it.

"Mama," Storm whined. Scully shushed her daughter and talked with the teacher.

"So Storm has had a very rough week at school this week. She refuses to pay attention, doesn't want to make friends, and is having trouble learning," the teacher explained. Mulder looked over at his wife. Scully nodded.

"I talked with the other teachers and we think it's best if Storm was placed in our preschool program. It's slower paced, and she would get more one on one time with a teacher," the teacher explained. Scully looked over at her husband.

"We'll let you guys talk it over the weekend. It is only three days a week though. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday," the teacher smiled. Mulder nodded and picked up his child. Scully thanked the teacher for her time and walked back to the car.

At home, Storm was in the living room playing with her toys as her parents talked in their kitchen. The child soon became bored, grabbed the TV remote and went off to find her mother.

"I don't understand why she's acting like this Mulder! She's smart and attentive, and they want to put her in a slower class," Scully was obviously upset. Mulder smiled at his wife.

"Storm might not be ready for school. I know we've worked with her, but you know how she can be. Ever since we lost her for that short while," Mulder trailed off. Scully nodded.

"Mama," Storm spoke softly as she entered the room. Scully pulled away from her husband and went over to her daughter. Storm looked up at her mother.

"Did you want to watch TV Stormy?" Scully smiled as she took the remote from her daughter's hands. Storm nodded.

"I want juice too. Please Mama?" Storm asked nicely. Scully smiled and kissed her daughter. Storm giggled happily. Mulder smiled as he watched his family.

"What kind of juice would you like sweetheart?" Scully asked. Storm looked up at her parents.

"Apple juice please," Storm replied. Scully smiled, went over to the fridge and got Storm a box of apple juice. The child became excited when Scully gave her the juice.

"Thanks Mama!" Storm replied happily as she drank her juice. Mulder smiled at his wife and gave her a quick kiss. Scully returned the kiss.

After dinner, Scully was sitting on the couch with her daughter reading her a book. Storm was laying on her mother as she held her stuffed fox.

"Stormy, can Mama talk to you?" Scully asked happily. Storm shook her head and hugged her fox close to her. Scully wrapped her arm around her daughter and loved on her.

"Mama!" Storm giggled. Scully grinned tickled and loved on her child. Storm laughed and smiled at all the attention her mother was giving her.

"Storm. Mama wants to ask you a couple questions," Scully spoke softly. Storm shook her head again. The woman sighed and laid back against the back of the couch.

"Mama you don't work tomorrow?" Storm asked hopefully. Scully smiled at her child and nodded. Storm grinned.

"Yup. I'm going to stay home with you sweetie," Scully said happily. Storm mumbled happily.

"What do you want to do tomorrow Stormy?" Scully asked happily. Storm shrugged and played with her fox. The woman hugged her daughter close and watched her.

The child kept playing with her favorite toy as she glanced from the TV from time to time. Scully kissed on her child again.

"Stormy, you need a bath tonight. Do you want to take a shower with me, or do you want Daddy to help you take a bath?" Scully asked. Storm shrugged and kept playing with her fox.

"Storm, you need to make a choice," Scully said firmly. Storm hugged her fox close and looked up at her mother. Scully picked up her daughter and set her in her lap to love on her.

"I want a shower," Storm mumbled. Scully smiled at her daughter and kissed her.

The woman then set her daughter on the floor and got off the couch. Storm quickly followed after her mother as she walked upstairs.

Scully helped her daughter put her stuffed fox in her bedroom, and then chose some pajamas. Storm grabbed the ones with foxes on them. Scully smiled at her daughter.

The girls then went into the bathroom. Scully turned on the shower and undressed her daughter. Storm whined unhappily at her mother.

Scully smiled at her child, and undressed herself. The woman then got into the shower. Storm quickly followed her mother.

"Here Stormy," Scully smiled as she washed her daughter. Storm laid on her mother as she was being cleaned. Scully smiled and kissed her daughter happily.

"Sweetheart, do you want to help wash Mommy?" Scully asked happily. Storm nodded and helped to wash her mother. The older woman smiled at her child.

After the shower, Scully was helping Storm get into her pajamas. As soon as she was finished getting dressed, Storm quickly grabbed her fox and went over to her mother.

"Stormy. You need to go to bed now. Do you want to read another chapter of Moby-Dick with me?" Scully asked happily. Storm nodded and climbed into bed.

Scully kissed on her daughter happily as she settled down in her bed. The woman tucked her child in as Storm settled down.

As soon as Scully was done reading the chapter, she looked down at her daughter. Storm was fast asleep. The woman smiled, kissed her daughter, then went off to find her husband.
