The next morning, Storm walked down the stairs yawning. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she looked around for her parents. When the teen didn't see them, she looked at the time. When she saw it was only six in the morning, she went upstairs to her parents room.
"Mom?" Storm mumbled as she knocked on her parents bedroom door. When she didn't get a reply, she knocked again.
"Stormy what is it?" Scully yawned as she opened the door. Storm quickly hugged onto her mother. The older woman smiled and hugged her daughter back.
"I didn't realize I slept the whole night," Storm mumbled. Scully snuggled on her daughter happily. The teenager looked up at her mother.
"What time is it Storm?" Scully asked as she held her daughter out. Storm mumbled.
"It's six," Storm replied. Scully nodded.
"Come on, I'll go lay down with you in your room, okay?" Scully smiled. Storm nodded and led her mother back to her bedroom.
Scully smiled as her daughter climbed back into her bed. The teen scooted close to the wall and waited on her mother. Scully climbed into the bed with her child. Storm smiled as Scully pulled her into her arms and held her close.
"Night Mama," Storm mumbled as her mother loved on her. Scully smiled and snuggled on her daughter happily. Soon the girls were fast asleep.
A couple hours later, Scully woke up to the smell of coffee. The woman looked down at her daughter and smiled. Storm was cuddled up next to her mother, fast asleep.
"Stormy, time to wake up sweetie," Scully spoke softly. Storm stretched and yawned unhappily. The older woman kissed on her daughter and smiled. The teenager yawned and grabbed onto her mother's shirt.
"Come on Storm," Scully kissed on her daughter again. Storm whined and rubbed her eyes. Scully got out of the bed and waited on her daughter. Storm grumbled and followed her mother.
When the girls arrived downstairs, Mulder was standing next to the stove cooking. Scully smiled when she saw her husband. Storm grumbled and sat at the table.
"Hey kiddo, how was your nap?" Mulder asked with a grin. Scully pushed on her husband a bit. Mulder looked at his wife.
"Don't tease her," Scully scolded softly. Mulder nodded and kissed his wife. Storm rolled her eyes.
"You guys are weird," Storm grumbled as her parent's paid attention to each other. Mulder smiled at his child. Storm looked up at her father.
"Here you go Stormy. Your Dad made your favorite," Scully said as she sat some pancakes and strawberries in front of her child. Storm mumbled a thanks and started to eat.
After breakfast Storm was in her room reading her new book, while her parents took a shower. After about thirty minutes, Scully entered her daughter's room. Storm looked up at her mother.
"Hey sweetie. You want to do anything today?" Scully spoke softly. Storm examined her mother. Scully had her regular clothes on, with her hair wrapped up on a towel on top of her head. The teen shook her head.
"Are you sure Storm?" Scully asked as she sat on her daughter's bed. Storm mumbled and kept reading her book. The woman smiled at her daughter. Soon Mulder entered the room.
"Hey Storm. What are you reading?" Mulder asked as he approached his daughter. Storm grumbled and covered up her book. Mulder gave Storm a look of surprise.
"Stormy, be nice," Scully scolded softly. Storm grumbled again.
"I want to be left alone," the teenager whined. Mulder gave his wife a look and left the room. Scully sighed.
"What's bothering you Storm?" Scully pushed carefully. Storm mumbled and went back to reading. Scully stood up and approached her daughter.
"Nothing Mom. Can I be left alone for a bit?" the teen huffed. Scully sighed, kissed her daughter, and left the room. Storm closed her door and locked it.
A few hours later, Storm exited her room and went downstairs. When the teen got to the bottom of the stairs, she looked around for her mother.
Scully was sitting on the couch, reading a magazine. The older woman didn't hear her daughter enter the room. Storm walked over to the couch, and sat right next to her mother.
Scully looked at her daughter with surprise but then smiled. The older woman wrapped her arm around her daughter and held her close. Storm mumbled happily and laid on her mother.
"Stormy, I love you," Scully spoke softly. Storm smiled.
"I love you too Mom," the teen replied. Scully smiled, kissed her daughter, then went back to reading. Thirty minutes later, Storm spoke again.
"Mom, can we get pizza for lunch? Please?" Storm asked her mother. Scully put down her magazine and looked at her daughter.
"Go ask your Dad. He's making the meals today," Scully explained. Storm started to argue, but Scully cut her off.
"Fine, I'll go ask Dad," Storm grumbled as she got off the couch. Scully sighed as she watched her daughter go upstairs.
"Dad?" Storm asked as she knocked on the door to her father's office. Storm waited a few moments, then knocked again.
"What is it kiddo?" Mulder asked as he opened the door. Storm looked up at her father. Mulder watched his daughter and smiled.
"Can we get pizza for lunch please?" Storm asked. Mulder gave a small laugh. Storm whined.
"Storm, knock it off," Mulder scolded. Storm mumbled an apology.
"Dad please? I asked Mom, but she told me I had to ask you," Storm explained. The older man smiled at his daughter.
"Yes we can. Don't tell your mother I gave in though, you promise?" Mulder asked. Storm grinned and nodded.
"Alright Stormy. I'll call for delivery. You go hang out with your Mom," Mulder instructed. Storm nodded and went back downstairs.
"What did your Dad say?" Scully asked as Storm walked back into the room. The teenager shrugged and sat next to her mother.
"Can I watch TV Mom?" Storm asked as she looked up at her mother. Scully smiled and nodded. The teenager grinned and turned on the TV. The older woman smiled and laid against the back of the couch. Storm cuddled up to her mother and watched TV.
Thirty minutes later Mulder walked down the stairs and into the living room. Storm was laying on her mother while watching TV. Scully had her arm around her daughter, holding her close.
"Hey girls," Mulder spoke softly as he entered the room. Storm mumbled, as Scully looked over at her husband. Mulder grinned at his wife.
"Hey hun, what's for lunch?" Scully asked as she ran her fingers through her daughter's hair. Storm mumbled happily at the attention. The older man smiled at his daughter.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Scully gave her husband a look as Mulder grinned. Storm looked up at her father.
"Come on Storm, you need to help me," Mulder instructed as he started to leave the room. Storm grinned and quickly followed after her father.
A couple minutes later, Storm followed her father into the kitchen while carrying a couple of two liters of pop. Mulder smiled at his daughter as he took the pop from her.
"I should've known you were going to give in to her, Fox Mulder," Scully scolded as she walked into the dining room. Mulder grinned proudly while Storm laughed. Scully smiled at her daughter and sat at the table.
"Here, I got Storm the pizza she likes since she's picky and doesn't like what we like on it," Mulder teased Storm as he talked to his wife. Storm started to whine a bit, but Scully cut her off.
"Mulder, I told you not to tease her," Scully scolded. Mulder rolled his eyes as he got some pizza for himself. Scully kicked her husband gently, under the table.
"Hey that wasn't nice," Mulder tried scolding Scully. Scully shot a look at her husband. Storm stayed quiet and ate her pizza.
After lunch, Storm was laid out on the couch trying to watch TV. Mulder was back upstairs in his office, while Scully tidied up the house. After a while, Scully checked on Storm.
"Stormy, are you sleeping?" Scully asked as she approached the teenager. Storm jerked awake and looked around.
"No," Storm mumbled as she rubbed her eyes. Scully smiled at her daughter. The teenager yawned and looked up at her mother. Scully knelt down next to her daughter and brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"Mom, stop," Storm mumbled. Scully gave her daughter a look.
"You do not need a nap Storm. You're going to be up all night if you take one," Scully explained. Storm shook her head and yawned. Scully sighed.
"Mom, I won't, promise," the teen mumbled as she yawned again. Scully shook her head and stood back up and left the room. Soon Storm was fast asleep again.
The older woman returned to the living room a few moments later. She gently covered her daughter with a blanket, and set her up with a pillow. Scully then kissed her daughter, and headed upstairs.
"Hey hun," Scully spoke as she entered her husband's office. Mulder looked up from the files he was examining and grinned. The older woman smiled as she pulled up a chair.
"What's up?" Mulder asked with a grin. Scully smiled and kissed her husband.
"Storm is taking a nap right now," the woman explained. Mulder sighed.
"She doesn't need a nap. She's fifteen, and she's going to be up all night!" Mulder explained. Scully nodded.
"I know. I woke her up but she fell right back asleep. Remember when she was a toddler and she refused to take naps," Scully laughed. Mulder smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. We had to hold her until she took one some days," Mulder grinned. Scully nodded.
"I miss her being that small. She used to be so attached to us. I mean, she still is, but not like before," Scully rambled. Mulder nodded and sat close to his wife while he went through more of his files.
