In the middle of the night, Scully was awoken by her daughter crying. Mulder groaned and slowly woke up as well. As the man turned to look at his wife, he saw that she was already out of bed, putting her pajamas on.
"I got her Mulder. Go back to bed," Scully smiled at her husband. Mulder nodded and yawned before he laid back down in his bed. The older woman left her bedroom.
"Storm. What happened? Why are you crying?" Scully spoke softly as she entered her daughter's room. Storm was sitting up in bed, rubbing her eyes.
"I had an accident Mommy," Storm cried again. Scully smiled at her daughter. The woman looked her daughter over, and saw that she wet the bed. Storm was very good about not having accidents anymore, so Scully knew something was bothering her.
"Come on sweetheart," Scully spoke calmly and softly as she helped her daughter out of bed. Storm rubbed her eyes as her mother stood her up.
"Here Storm. Let's wear your pink pajamas," Scully said happily as she grabbed new PJs for her daughter. Storm shook her head.
"I want my fox ones," Storm whined unhappily. Scully watched her daughter and knew changing her was probably going to be a challenge.
"Stormy, those are dirty. You need to wear new ones. I'll wash those so you can wear them tomorrow, okay?" Scully tried to explain. Storm stood there for a few moments before slowly nodding her head. Scully smiled and helped her daughter change.
"I want my fox Mama," Storm mumbled unhappily. Scully quickly looked around for her daughter's favorite stuffed animal. She found it between Storm's pillows.
"Look he's right here," Scully smiled as she gave her daughter the fox. Storm quickly took the fox from her mother and held it close. Scully smiled at her daughter before she stood up to check out the bed.
Scully sighed quietly as she started to remove the bed sheets. Storm stood next to her mother, watching her. When the woman got the bed sheets off, the groaned. Storm was going to have to sleep with them that night, while her bed dried.
"Come on Stormy," Scully smiled happily at her daughter to show her everything was alright. Storm looked up at her mother and watched her.
Scully collected the sheets and blanket, before she and her daughter headed downstairs. The older woman quickly loaded the bedding into the washer as her child stood right next to her holding her fox.
When Scully was done loading the washing machine, the woman started it and took her daughter back upstairs. Storm held her mother's hand tightly as she followed her.
"Okay Storm, can you go potty for me before we go back to bed?" Scully asked happily. Storm nodded and gave her mother the fox.
As soon as Storm was done using the bathroom, Scully had her wash her hands, then led her to the bedroom. Storm held onto her mother's hand tightly.
"Here. Go lay down with Daddy. I have to clean your bed, but I will be right back okay?" Scully explained. Storm nodded. The older woman gave her daughter's fox back to her and helped her into the bed.
Scully kissed her daughter happily before Storm climbed under the covers. The older woman tucked her daughter in, and kissed her before she left the room.
As soon as Scully left, Storm crawled over to her father. Mulder snuggled on his child as she laid next to him. Storm mumbled happily.
"Stormy, can I talk to you?" Mulder asked softly. Storm shrugged and played with her fox. Mulder held his daughter close and loved on her. The child mumbled happily, and grabbed onto her father's shirt.
"Stormy. Why don't you like school?" Mulder asked carefully. Storm looked up at her father and played with his beard. Mulder grinned at his child.
"Do you like my beard?" Mulder asked happily. Storm shook her head. The older man looked heartbroken. He looked up to watch his wife smiling and watching them.
"You don't like it Stormy?" Mulder asked. Storm shook her head. The man loved on his child. Storm kept playing with her fox.
"Do you want me to shave it?" Mulder asked softly. Storm nodded.
"Okay. I will in the morning okay?" Mulder asked. Storm nodded and snuggled into her father.
"Daddy?" Storm mumbled. Mulder snuggled on his child.
"I don't like school Daddy," Storm mumbled.
"Why not Stormy?" Mulder asked. Storm shrugged. The older man loved on his child.
"It's not fun. They go too quick. I don't have friends," Storm mumbled. Mulder smiled at his daughter.
"Storm. You have to go to school," Mulder explained. Storm nodded and played with her fox.
"Hey, what if you could go to school a few days a week. They go slower and you can make friends. Would you like that?" Mulder asked softly. Storm nodded. Mulder smiled.
"Then on the days you have off, and Mommy works, you can have school at home with me. How does that sound?" Mulder asked happily. Storm nodded.
"I want school with Daddy," Storm mumbled. Mulder kissed his daughter and grinned at his wife. Scully returned the smile.
"Daddy, where is Mommy?" Storm looked up at her father.
"I'm right here Storm. Are you ready to go to bed now?" Scully asked as she walked into the room. Storm nodded happily. The older woman smiled as she climbed into bed.
Scully quickly climbed under the covers and held her child close to her. Storm yawned and tightened the grip on her father. Mulder rolled over so he was facing the girls.
"Night Stormy," Mulder replied as he yawned. Storm snuggled into her father and held her fox close. Storm soon fell asleep.
