Disclaimer:I do not own the X-Files, it is Chris Carter's, though I wish I did own it, sigh:)

John and Monica were over at Mulder and Scully's house. John was playing with William, who was only two and was hugging his alien stuffy, and Mulder and Scully were watching from the doorframe that lead to their small kitchen thinking:John's going to be a great dad.Then, Monica ran out of the bathroom and looked at John.

"John!"She yelled."My water broke!"

"Then call Bob The Builder!"Little William said with a smile.

"No, it's a different kind of water kiddo."John said playfully grabbing William's little nose. "It means that Aunt Monica is going to have our baby."He continued, then suddenly the playful smile left his face and he dropped the toy UFO that he had in his hand and turned over and looked at Monica and said with a shocked face: "Wait, you're having our baby, now!"

"Yes John."Monica said looking over at her dumbfounded husband.

Then Mulder and Scully realized what was going on and looked over at them then at their son who was without the knowledge to know what was going on.

"We need to get you to the hospital imdentaly, John you drive like heck so you can drive us, and Mulder, you drive behind us so that William can get their safely."Scully said, grabbing some of her medical supplies and wetting some washcloths.

They got into the car and John turned on his lights and siren so that they could bypass all the was sitting next to Monica holding a washcloth on her forehead and, John was looking back into the rearview mirror at his wife.

"You okay honey?"John asked.

Monica screamed and said.

"What do you think?"

"Okay then."John replied then looked back at the road. "Hey Scully, since you're a medical doctor, well this question is kind of out there, and I did see it on TV, so what do you, from a medical point of view, would hurt more, giving birth or gett'in kicked in the balls?"John asked, just trying to elevate some of the stress and he has never drove a women in labor to the hospital before, so he didn't know what to say.

"Well, how about I kick you John, then we will see who is hurting more me or you."Monica said kind of sarcastically.

"I think I would get more leverage since you are giving birth, but Mulder has a strong kick, he was the star kicker for his football team."Scully said, smiling.

John worriedly looked into the rearview mirror.

"Ehh, are you actually going to do this?"John worriedly asked.

"Maybe."Monica yelled. Then screamed in pain.

"Fine, Muldah can kick me."John said with a sigh.

Monica and Scully laughed.

"I'll tell him once we get Monica in a room."Scully said, still laughing.

They arrived at the hospital and got Monica in a room, she was having light contractions and the baby was still about a few hours from being born, as the doctor said, but she was still in a lot of pain. Mulder walked in with Scully since William fell asleep. John looked at Mulder and a shiver went down his spine.

"Hey, Muldah, Scully, where's Will?"He asked, hoping that William was following them.

"He fell asleep, the nurse said that she would tell us if he woke up."Mulder said, walking over to John who quickly stood up.

Monica and Scully smiled, they thought it was funny.

"You ready John?"Mulder asked as John braced himself.

"I'm ready when you are."John said, thinking that Mulder was going to kick him.

"Did you tell Mulder yet?"Monica asked, her contractions were becoming a little less frequent, but more painful.

"No, but I will in a minute."Scully replied with a smile, they enjoyed seeing John like this, expecting a lot pain.

"What do you mean John? You're the one who is about become a parent again."Mulder said, confused.

John took a deep breath and looked over at Monica and Scully with anger in his eyes then sat down.

"Mulder, can I speak to you for a second?"Scully asked.

"Sure."

Scully took Mudler to the side and explained to him the conversation that they had in the car.

"So John, I get to kick you."Mulder said with a smile strecting from ear to ear as he walked over to John who was sitting next to his wife, holding her hand.

"Damn it."John cursed under his breath.

"Well John, you get a child, with no pain at all, and I have to suffer so it's only fair."Monica said, then she screamed in pain.

John took a deep breath then said: "Fine."

John then stood up and braced himself as Mulder pulled his leg back, then got in a kicker stance. John closed his eyes and got ready then, just as Mulder was about to kick they heard a little voice.

"Uncle John! Daddy! Are you guys playing invisible football?"William asked running into his daddy's arms.

Mulder picked up his son and replied:

"Yes, but what are you doing awake. Shouldn't you be sleeping?"Mulder asked

"Yeah, but I wanted to be with you."William replied.

"Hey, Will, how about I tuck you back in?"John said to the little boy.

"Sure Uncle John, but could you sing me a goodnight song?"William asked as Mulder placed his son down on the ground and John picked him up.

"Sure kiddo."John replied with a smile.

John walked back with William and tucked him in on the couch in the waiting room. Scully followed behind, but stayed at a non visible distance.

"Uncle John, could you sing me a song?"William asked.

"Okay, what song?"John asked.

"Any song."William replied "But Mommy usually sings me a lullaby, but I think that any song would work."He continued.

John took a deep breath then looked around to be sure that no one was listening.

"Okay, I got one, here we go."

"So no one told you life was gonna be this way."'

William laughed.

"No, that's a theme song, and fun song."William said with a smile, he liked it when John started getting silly with him.

"Okay, I got another one. I used to sing this my son, Luke."John said with a sigh.

"Why haven't I met him?"William asked, he didn't know about Luke.

"He died a while ago."John replied.

"Ohh, sorry."

"It's okay, I have to hurry, Aunt Monica could have the baby at any minute now, so here we go."

"Close your eyes,

Have no fear,

The monster's gone,

He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Everyday

In every way,

It's gettin' better and better,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailin' away,

I can hardly wait

To see you come of age,

But I guess we'll both

Just have to be patient,

'Cause it's a long way to go,

A hard row to hoe

Yes, it"s a long way to go

But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,

Take my hand,

Life is what happens to you,

While you're busy makin' other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Everyday

In every way,

It's gettin' better and better,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Luke"

John sang, then he realized that he said Luke instead of William

"Ohh, me do that again."

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful William."

Then he saw that William was fast asleep. He smiled and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight beautiful William. I love you."John said as stroked William's hair then left to go back to Monica's room when he saw Scully.

Scully saw and heard the whole thing, she knew that he hadn't gotten over Luke, he porbley never would, but she also knew that he would make a great father.

"Scully? What are you do'in here?"John asked as she crossed his arms.

"I was going to check on William, did you tuck him in?"She asked, trying not to make it obvious that she saw the whole thing.

"You saw it, didn't ya?"He said, looking at her.

"Yes, I did."She admitted.

"It's okay, Scully, I love the kid, so I don't mind if you listened, I know you love him way more than I do."John said smiling.

"John, you are going to make a great dad, and now that you had the experience with Luke, this new baby of yours is going to be even more lucky to have a dad that already knows what he is doing."Scully said as she rubbed his shoulder.

"Let's get back to Mon, she should be having the baby at any minute."John said.

John and Scully walked into the hospital room where Monica was.

"What took you so long John, huh, that was way too long!"Monica yelled.

"It's okay Mon, I'm here now."John said soothingly as he walked over to the chair right next to Monica's bed. He put one hand on Monica's arm, but she pushed it away.

Monica huffed then said:

"Mulder, just kick him in the man spot already!"

John's eyes lit right up and he looked over at Mulder.

"She's been like this for a while now John, the doctor said that it's the hormones and the pain."Mulder said then John sighed.

"I guess I can't put it off any longer."John said then got up.

"You wanna see me in the same condition as you Mon?"John asked.

"Yeah, how about you have this baby, huh!"She yelled.

John sighed then replied:

"Fine, Muldah, get over here and kick me."

Never expected to say that.John thought to himself.

Mulder then walked over to where John was standing, he looked at him and said:

"You sure about this John?"

"Yup, just get it over with."

Mulder then brought his right foot back and John closed his eyes and braced himself, then Mulder kicked him and kneed him twice in the groin.

"Ahh."John said as he screamed in pain. "No wonder why Scully said you were the star kicker on your high school football team."John continued as he fell to the ground in pain.

"You okay John?"Scully asked as she ran over to John's aid.

"It hurts like hell."He said.

"So what hurts more, what happened to him or what I am about to do?"Monica asked.

"Well, based on my previous experience and my analysis of him, labor hurts more."Scully confessed.

"Is everything okay in here?I heard the screams from down the hall."The nurse said that just walked in. She looked over at Monica, then down at John.

"Yes, everything is ehh, under control."John said with markers of pain in his voice as he stood up. His right leg was bent and almost hovering over the ground in discomfort.

"Okay, just tell me if you need anything."The nurse said questionably.

"Wait, we could use an ice pack."Scully said looking at John.

"Okay, I'll be right back."The nurse said as she left the room.

Scully helped John sit back down and the nurse came back with the ice pack. John put on his groin and held Monica's hand then said:

"I can't believe that you are willing to go through this much pain for us, to have this child."

"Well, John, you do realize that they give her medicine so that she most likely will be in a little less pain than John is in right now, so in realiaty, John is in more pain."Scully confesseed.

They then heard someone screaming, and coming down the hall.

"Uncle John, Uncle John, Uncle John."William said as he ran up to John.

"What is it Will?"John asked picking up the little toddler up and setting him down on his lap as William kept his small arms wrapped around John's waist and holdong his stuffed alien.

"I had a scary dream."He confessed.

"Awwe, William, what was it about?"Mulder asked squatting down so that he could face his son who had his head tucked in John's shoulder.

"I only want to talk to John."William said.

"Okay, but you can tell me anything if you need to."Mulder said then walked over to Scully.

"I had a dream Uncle John that big hairy and scary monster was chasing me and that whenever I yelled out daddy's and your's name that you couldn't hear me and I got really scared."William said as tears were rushing down his face.

"It's okay Will, the monster's gone, he won't hurt you."John said as placed a soft gentle kiss on the top of William's head.

"Could you sing me that song again please?"William asked looking up into John's eyes.

John looked over at Monica, then over at Mulder and Scully.

"Sure kiddo, just as long as Aunt Monica and your mommy and daddy don't mind my singing."John said which brought a small smile upon William's face.

"It's fine John."Scully said in everyone's favor.

"Okay, here we go."

"Close your eyes,

Have no fear,

The monster's gone,

He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Everyday

In every way,

It's gettin' better and better,"

Then Mulder walked over to the side of John's chair and placed one hand on the back of the chair and started sing along

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy"

Then Scully walked over and went to the other side of the chair and started brushing her hand through William's soft gentle brown hair and sang along and Monica chimed in too.

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailin' away,

I can hardly wait

To see you come of age,

But I guess we'll both

Just have to be patient,

'Cause it's a long way to go,

A hard row to hoe

Yes , it"s a long way to go

But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,

Take my hand,

Life is what happens to you,

While you're busy makin' other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Everyday

In every way,

It's gettin' better and better,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful William."

John looked over at Mulder then at Scully, then at his wife then finally at the little boy who was fast asleep on his lap and smiled.

"You actually have a great voice John, I didn't mind it."Scully said and smiled, Mulder laughed a little.

"I'll take William back to the waiting room and tuck him in."Mulder said walking over to pick up his son.

"Ya know what, I got it, I better get used to it since the baby's almost here."John said getting up with William in his arms.

"Okay."Mulder said smiling over at John

John walked over to the waiting room and tucked him in.

"Ya know what Will, when my first son, Luke, died I never expected to be a father again, to another child of my own to look after and tuck in at night and sing to. I never thought that I would sing that song again to any other child but Luke, but now I guess I will get to sing it again, and thank you for that Will, I love you."John said to William, he knew that he was fast asleep and wasn't listening, but he still felt like saying that. He kissed William on the forehead then walked out and went back into Monica's room.

"Hey, John."Mulder said.

"What's up."John said back as he sat back down in the chair.

"Did you used to sing that song to Luke?"Mulder asked looking over at John who was holding Monica's hand, She hasn't had a contraction yet, but the next one would the last one, as the doctor had predicted.

"Yes, I memorized it for him."John confessed taking a deep breath.

"Ohh, well, I think that's nice."

"Thanks."John said with a smile.

A few hours have passed and William hasn't woken up in a while, and Monica has not had a contraction.

"Ahh."Monica screamed in pain.

"It's alright Mon, it's almost over, you will be just fine."John reassured.

"That's the last one , you're ready to have the baby."The nurse said with a smile.

"I'm, ready?"Monica said questionably.

"Yes."The nurse replied.

"I'm really going to have this baby."Monica said as she looked over at John, who as well was shocked, but happy to hear that his son, or daughter would be here soon.

"Yes, Mon, our baby will be here soon."John said, soothingly.

They rushed her to the delivery room.

"Okay , push."The doctor said.

"Ahh."Monica screamed.

"Oww."John said as he cringed since Monica squeezed his hand as hard as hard as she could. "And the pain comes back."John said again as he felt the pain from before when Mulder kicked him come back.

"Okay, we need you to push again."The doctor said.

"Ahh."Monica screamed as she pushed again.

"The baby's crowning, we need you to push one more time."The doctor said again.

"Ahh."Monica screamed once more as John cringed since a lot of weight was put on his hand.

Then, they heard a baby crying.

"It's a boy."The doctor said examining the baby.

"He's here Mon, our son is here!"John said excitedly.

"Here, daddy, do you want to cut the cord?"The doctor asked as John grabbed the scissors from her hands and cut the umbilical cord.

"Here's your son, congratulations."The doctor said as she handed them their son who was wrapped in a blue blanket.

John and Monica looked down at their newborn son and smiled.

"Hey there Doggett Jr., I'm your daddy and I want you to know that I will always keep you safe, no matter what from anything and everything. I will never fail you, I will keep you safe forever and ever."John said to his newborn son as a lone tear rushed down his face.

"Do you guys have a name yet?"The Nurse asked.

John and Monica looked at each other and replied:

"No, not yet."Monica replied taking the baby in her arms and looking down at him.

"Okay, then we'll call him baby boy Doggett."The nurse said as she wrote that down on the baby's sheet and stuck it on the front of his plastic crib.

John then thought about the day that Luke was born, January 9th, and said as the Doctor and Nurse left with his newborn son:

"See ya later Luke."

The next day, Mulder and Scully walked in with William in Mulder's arms.

"Uncle John, Aunt Monica, is that your new baby?"William asked as he was put down on the ground and ran over to John and Monica who were in the bed together with Monica holding their son.

"Yes he is."Monica replied with a smile.

"He's so little, and cute."William said peering down at the baby.

"Did you guys pick out a name yet?"Scully asked walking over to the bed and looking down at the baby.

"No, but we have dialed it down to three names."Monica replied.

"Okay, what are the names?"Mulder asked, sneaking a peek at the baby.

"Austin, Kyle, and Jackson."John said.

"I can see Jackson."Mulder said looking down at the baby.

"I think that he is more of a Kyle."Scully said.

"Well that helps."John said.

"So we have to chose from Jackson and Kyle."Monica said.

"I think that we should leave it up to Will."John said. "Which name do you like better, Jackson or Kyle?"He asked the little boy that was lying on the bed on his belly looking at the baby.

"I like Kyle, it reminds of John Connor's dad, Kyle Reese."William said.

"Wait, he's seen Terminator?"Scully said looking over at Mulder with her hands on her hips.

"No. mommy, not just Terminator, I saw Terminator Two: Judgment Day as well."William said with a smile.

Scully looked at Mulder with anger in her eyes.

"I was John's idea."Mulder said as Scully looked at John.

"Is it true John?"Scully asked.

"Uhh, well Muldah and I were having a Arnold Schwarzenegger movie marathon and we watching the Terminator movies when William came in and Muldah and I thought that it would be okay if he watched them with us as long as when a scary scene came on we shielded him from it, so he did'in see anything that he shouldn't have seen."John reassured.

"Okay."Scullly said, calmly.

"So I guess we have little Kyle Doggett."Monica said looking down at Kyle.

"What's his middle name?"Mulder asked.

"Luke, we agreed that the first boy we have, his middle name would be Luke."John automatically replied.

"So Kyle Luke Doggett?"Scully asked.

"Yes, his name is Kyle Luke Doggett."Monica said peering down at the baby.

"Welcome to the world Kyle Luke Doggett, I'm your daddy and I will keep you safe no matter what, we all love you."John said looking down at his son.

"Can we all sing to him?"William asked.

"Sure thing kiddo."John said.

"Close your eyes,

Have no fear,

The monster's gone,

He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Everyday

In every way,

It's gettin' better and better,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailin' away,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Kyle."

They all sang together to the new baby.

"Your daddy and I love you, so does your Uncle Mulder, and Aunt Scully, and your little cousin William."Monica said as she kissed her son on the head.
