Summary: Scully returns calls to her Cousin Emily.

Legal crap: They are not mine. There is nothing more I have to say. Except.. "they call me hanging glassissos!.. I do not know why." Allright people, I 've stuffed up my goddamned computer once again, but it wasn't MY fault, some dickhead decided it would be a funking great idea if they'd attach a virus to their story, thus slowly killing off my computers ability to function. I will have my revenge...You can count on it. he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. Ehheheheheheheh ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehe(bursts into fits of maniacal laughter).

Okay, This is for 'Fabiana' and friends, it is thanks to her that you have part four, such a persistent child. Well Flowers By Irene, (sorry fabi I couldn't resist), here is part four. And to all others who requested me to get on with it, here you go as well. ;)

For all the scientifically correct, I apologise if I don't have my facts right concerning morning sickness, I've never had the pleasure. Oim onwy a wittwle gwirlywirly. to all those crazy people, "draw a line from the dog to the bone."

Do you hear me????? okay bye.


"Hi Dana! Did he ask you ?! did he???!!! Ah I'm so happy for you, Day. Congratulations!! Oh Dana! you're so lucky!! Fox is such a cute guy!! " Em said breathlessly.

"You haven't heard what I was going to say yet." Dana giggled as she imagined Emily's face thinking that Mulder hadn't asked her. "Oh?"

"YES!!!!!!HE asked me! oh Emily, I'm so happy!, thank you soo much."

"Hah! I told you so! I'must be psychic!"

"Well then tell me what else is going to happen."

"Hmmmm, lets see, my crystal wine glass tells me you will have a child no, no, hang on, two children, a girl and a boy, now I must polish it to make it shine to see the future.. "

"shutup Em, you'll hurt yourself. Here, Mulder wants to talk to you, well,I think that's what he wants."

Scully shoved the receiver in Mulder's face before he could plant another kiss on her neck.

"Hi Mulder. "

"Hi Emily, Dana here does not like my kisses..ow!"

Dana pinched his arm. "Yes I do!" she yelled over his shoulder.

Emily laughed.

"Hey Mulder, maybe she wants something more.. "

"Already tried that theory, she doesn't like to hear me sing."

Dana started laughing in the background.

"I didn't mean that."

"What did you mean then?"

"You *know* what I mean."

"Oh, right I do yeah, hey Emily..."

"What?"

"Do you want to hear my singing? maybe you can convince Dana here I am a great singer."

"U mm, no, It's okay Mulder."

It was too late, Mulder started singing in a really bad voice into the phone, while Scully covered her ears and tried to wrestle the phone from him. Dana finally had the phone back.

"Em? you still there?"

"Is it safe Day?"

"I'm not sure, but this naughty boy will get his punishment later."

"Ooh, Dana, what have you got in line for him?"

"None of your business Em, even if it was, I wouldn't tell you."

"Ok ok, tell your lover boy never to sing again unless it is completely necessary."

"Sure, bye Em, oh, and you're invited to the wedding. "

"Okay Dana, take care, bbyyyyeeeee!"

Scully put the receiver down and turned to Mulder. "So, now all we have to do is tell my mom and yours." She put her arms around his waist and kissed his lips.

"Mm, thanks Scully, do we want to stay over at your mom's?" he kissed her back.

"Yeah, she'll probably want us to."

"Ok." Mulder and Scully went to Scully's room hand in hand to pack her clothes.Then they drove over to Mulder's apartment to get his stuff and drove off to Scully's mom's' place.


After three hours of driving they reached Margaret's house. Mulder parked the car in the driveway and got out, he went round Scully's side and opened her door for her. "getting a little chivalrous are we?" she asked as she stepped out and put her arms around Mulder's neck.

"For you, anything." Mulder's arms found their way around Scully's waist and his mouth found its way to hers. They looked a sight, Scully's back was pressed up against the car window and Mulder had his hands tangled in her hair.

The curtain that covered the front window moved to the side a bit and Margaret's face peeped through unnoticed. A huge grin of happiness spread over her face at the sight of her daughter passionately kissing her handsome partner. She'd pretend she didn't know until they'd finished. Then again, she wanted some photos of the two of them together. She grabbed the camera out of the drawer by the door and quietly went outside. She snuck up behind them and snapped a few shots.

The two broke apart at the sound of a flash going off. Scully snaked out from under Mulder's arms and ran up to her mother. " mom look!" she held out the hand with the engagement ring on it, jumping up and down in excitement. Mulder stood sheepishly beside Scully with a huge grin on his face.

Margaret flung her arms around her daughter and hugged her then she wentto Mulder and did the same. "I knew you two would finally come to your senses! oh I 'm so happy for you. come inside." They followed Margaret into the house. "So are you two staying the night?" she asked.

"How did you know we would stay over?"

"Mother's talent. Now go get your bags." Mulder and Scully walked out to their car and fetched their bags. Mulder took Scully's bag from her and Scully placed her hands on her hips.

"Mulder, I can carry the bags for myself! you don't need to do it for me."

Mulder gave her a whipped puppy look and Scully's pulse beat faster in her breast. "Scully, you are my delicate flower, far too fragile to carry heavy baggage with you." Scully raised an eyebrow at him. " Don't sweet-talk me mister, you just might make your punishment for tonight even worse than it is as the moment."

"What is my punishment going to be Scully?"

Scully smiled enigmatically at him. "We'll just have to wait and see, won't we little Fox?"

"Aw, Scully, don't be mean." Mulder pouted at her. Suddenly it was feeling a little warmer than it should be.

Scully turned and walked to the door. "Coming?" she asked, and with that Mulder followed her through the door.

**

Later that night, they all sat at the table eating dinner. "So children, what have you been up to in the past month? Dana I haven't heard from you in ages."

"Well, we babysat Emily's kids one weekend, that was a blast. Emily reckons she's a psychic." Dana laughed.

"Hey Scully, maybe she could help us in our cases, did she foresee anything for you?" Mulder asked.

"Well yeah, actually she did, she said we were going to have children, one boy and one gir.l" Scully looked thoughtful. "If we have two she's got a 50 /50 chance on getting that right, and even more a chance at the sex of the children as she said both, we'll just have to wait and see." Mulder took another bite of his bread.

"You guys had better get me some grandchildren soon, I 've waited for a long time Dana. " Margaret grinned at her daughter who blushed and glanced Mulder.

"Don't you worry Mrs Scully, we will."

"Fox, call me mom."

"Yes *mom*" Mulder said and Scully giggled.

Scully stood up and cleared away their plates. "mom, I 'm tired, I'm going to go to bed now."

"Aren't you taking Fox with you?" Margaret asked.

"If he must, but he's been a naughty boy today, I need to think of a punishment for him."

Margaret smiled knowingly at her daughter, "He must, maybe he can help you think of his punishment, just don't be too noisy up there. "

"Mom!" Scully grabbed Mulder's had and dragged him after her. "Goodnight, mom!" they both said and ran up the stairs.

**

Scully led Mulder to the room she usually slept in. She turned to Mulder and looked him up and down,"You need a bath," she said and smiled playfully. She took his hand and led him to the ensuite inside her room.

"I don't need a bath Scully, I'm not that dirty am I?" Mulder asked.

"Yes you are, your a naughty little boy and mommy needs to scrub you clean." Scully turned on the taps of the tub and added some bubble bath.

"Is this your punishment for me?" Mulder asked as Scully began to unbutton his shirt.

"Yes, now stay still." Scully put her mouth to his now exposed chest and butterfly kissed him there. She then moved her hands to his jeans and started to undo the fly. She purposefully brushed her finger over the bulge in Mulder's underwear and he let out a gasp of air.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Scully looked up innocently at him. "Anything to make you happy my lord."She then proceeded to slide his jeans and underwear off his legs, trailing kisses as she went. He stood there waiting for her as she turned off the taps. "Stay there "

She commanded and he did so, wondering what she was going to do. Scully smiled at him and started to lift her shirt over her head. She grinned in her head in satis faction as Mulder's eyes widened and his erection went higher. Scully then undid the button fly on her jeans menacingly slowly, watching his eyes watch her. She then slinked over in front of Mulder and took his hand, she guided him to the tub and ordered him to get in.

"Scully, aren't you going to join me?"

"Wait," she said as she took off the remaining undergarments. She then stepped into the bath and sat down in front of him. He tried to reach over and kiss her but she ducked away with a giggle.

"Aw Scully, you're no fun," Mulder said and pouted.

"IT will become fun, trust me, it will." Scully took his arm and lathered it. She had to straddle Mulder's legs to do it properly and it took most of her will power not to take him then and there. "Can I help?" Mulder asked.

"No just sit." Mulder pouted and her heart melted. "Okay, here's one kiss for you." She brushed her lips over his and he groaned when she went back to scrubbing his arm. He had to get her attention, she was torturing him and she knew it. Well, she was not going to be the only one begging for more tonight! He brought his free hand to her breast and stroked it. Scully's scrubbing hand paused fro a moment at the contact. "Don't do that," she said.

"Why not?"

Because, *I* am seducing *you*, not the other way around."

"Not any more Scully, my turn," Mulder said. He took the washcloth from her grasp and turned her around so her back was to him. "Now, lets work all those kinks out of your muscles shall we?" he asked and then proceeded to massage her back she dropped her neck forward so he could reach.

Scully sighed in contentment. "That's good Mulder, but if you keep it up I might fall asleep."

"Am I that bad?"

"No, could we move our party to the bed? this waters getting cold."

"Am I still being punished?."

"Oh, it's far from over, that was only the warm up."

They alighted form the tub and moved their party to the bedroom.


Next morning, or if need be, the morning after.

Scully woke up the next morning, ohh, she felt as if she had to throw up, uh- oh here it comes! she thought. Scully tried to get out of bed quickly without waking Mulder up, She ran into the bathroom and started throwing out her guts into the toilet.

Mulder felt the slight bounce of the bed as someone jumped out of it in a hurry. He rolled over and opened his eyes. "Scully?" he murmured, reaching for her. She wasn't there. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He heard wrenching noises coming from the bathroom. He got out of bed and walk-ran to the bathroom to find his precious Scully being sick into the great white porcelain god. "Scully? are you alright?"

"bleergh, obviously.. bleurggh.. not. bleurggh," she replied in between throwing up.

"Should I get your mom?"

"bleugrh, no, I'll be..bleurgh.. right," she said.

Mulder stood behind her and rubbed her back. "It's okay Scully, it'll be finished soon." He soothed her by rubbing his hands in slow circles on her back. "I'll get your bathrobe, you must be cold, I am."

Mulder took her bathrobe from her suitcase and removed his as well. He came back into the bathroom and draped it over her shoulders, putting his on as well.

Finally the wrenching stopped. Scully got up and rinsed the foul taste from her mouth. "Better now?" he asked her. She smiled half heartedly at him.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, 24 hour bug or something." He hugged her to his chest. "Well, you're the doctor, you know what's what."

Suddenly Scully had a thought. "holy shit!" she said under her breath.

"What is it, Scully?"

"Morning sickness. It could be morning sickness."

Mulder looked at her, his mouth agape. "Are you sure?"

"No, but I could ask my mom what she experienced when she was pregnant with me, and if those symptoms come up as well, I could be pretty sure."

Mulder held her by her shoulders. "Do you know what this means Dana?" He was beaming.

"What?"

"Were going to have a child!"

Scully looked up at I'm and grinned in happiness, the two of them could have lit up a whole city with their joy. They hugged each other close.

They released each other and just stood there, arms circling the other's waist, staring into the others eyes. "I love you soo much Fox."

"I love you too." Scully smiled for a second and then quickly turned back to the toilet, morning sickness stuck back. "Oh Dana, poor baby." Mulder massaged her back with his hands once more until it stopped.

Scully washed her mouth out again. "Let's get downstairs, I'm hungry."

"For food?" Mulder grinned slyly at her. "Yes, for food." She rose an eyebrow at him and brushed past, swinging her hips from side to side.

Ah, that's my enigmatic doctor. Mulder thought and followed her out the door.


Kitchen
10:13

Margaret was already in the kitchen making breakfast when they came down. "Morning mom," Dana said, giving her mother a hug.

"Hi sweethearts, sleep well?" She was obviously laughing at them as they glanced at each other and turned red. "

Sleep, is not the word mom." Dana grinned at her mother who rolled her eyes.

"I don't want to know about it you two, I could hear what was going on anyway, no, it definitely wasn't sleep happening in your room last night, nooo way." Margaret laughed at them, they looked so embarrassed, she knew she was being a little bit mean, but it was too funny.

Soon they were all around the table eating breakfast. Scully tried to get eye contact with her mom so she could talk to her. "mom,"

"What is it dear?"

"You know when you were pregnant with us, what sort of symptoms did you get?"

"Why do you want to know sweetie?"

"I don't know yet, just tell me, please." She fluttered her eyelids at her mother.

"Okay, let's see, I had really bad morning sickness, I always wanted to curl up and go to sleep, I had cravings for carrots would you believe it! Of all things, carrots." Margaret shook her head in the memory.

Scully shot a sideways glance at Mulder who winked at her. Scully took her mom's hand. "mom, I think I'm pregnant."

Her mother dropped her spoon. "Wha..?"

"We think I'm going to have a baby." Margaret came back to her senses. A slow smile covered her face. "Congratulations Dana honey, I knew you two could do it!"

She stood up to hug her daughter. "Thanks mom."

Later that day, Scully went to the drug store and bought a home pregnancy testing kit.

The checkout girl smiled knowingly at her. "So, what do you think it will be, boy or a girl?"

Scully smiled back at her. "I don't know, but cousin said if I got pregnant it was going to be both, she thinks she's a psychic." Dana twirled her finger around he ear to display 'crazy.'

The checkout chick giggled and leaned forward as if revealing a century old secret. "You know what, my family has this tradition, that when someone gets pregnant, you take your wedding ring and tie it to a piece of string, and hold it over their stomach, if the ring spins in a circle, it's a boy, if it swings from side to side, it's a girl, if it's still, you're getting both - twins. hey it! it works." She patted Scully's hand and grinned.

The girl's chirpy mood was infectious, Scully couldn't help but smile with her. "Okay, I'll try it how much do I need to pay?"

The checkout chick tapped some keys on the keyboard in front of hr. "$10.50, but since I'm having a happy day, I'll give it to you for nine bucks."

She smiled. "Oh, why thank you, are you sure?"

"Yeah, boss won't mind, he's got enough money anyway."

"Okay then, here you go." Scully handed the girl the money and took her purchase.

**

Scully got back to her mom's a while later, after picking a few other things from the grocery store. Mulder greeted her at the door. "Hi Tiger," he said and kissed her on the lips.

"Hi Mulder, why are you calling me Tiger?" She kissed him back.

"Why not?"

"Okay, fine, call me tiger, only if I get to call you nickname too."

"What'll it be?"

"How about G-man?"

"Naah, too obvious."

"Mulberry Mulder?"

"What?!?"

"Okay, maybe not, Sugarplum?"

"NOW, that's original."

"Sugarplum it is then. Now, ' Sugarplum, Mulberry Mulderpoos, may I get through so I can do this test?"

"Of course m'lady."

"Thank you, is mom home?"

"Nup, she went out to get something, she'll be back soon."

"Okay." Scully went to the downstairs toilet and did the test, she left the strip of paper to complete its task. After ten minutes, a big black plus sign stared her in he face. A huge smile engulfed her. She bounded back out to Mulder who was sitting on the sofa. "Fox! Fox! it's positive! I'm pregnant! were going to have a child!"

She jumped up and down in his arms. "Tiger, you are the best." Mulder lifted her up so she was being carried by him and kissed her soundly. He clumsily walked them back to the sofa and sat them down, still kissing her. What seemed like ten minutes later, they came up for air. Breathing hard. "I have to return a call to Emily," Dana said and grinned.

She got up off Fox and went to the phone.

Ruth answered. "Hewo? hoo ith it?"

"Hi ruthie, it's antie Dana, how are you baby?"

"Roofieth not a baby, Roofie's a big girlth now! Roofies foive! Roofie is altho good. How ith antie Dana?"

"I'm good thanks Ruthie, where's mummy?"

"Theth in ther kithen making me and Damien and Daddy thom chocowate cake!"

"IS she really? can I talk to her?"

"Okay antie Dana, wait a thecond and oi whoil get her."

Scully could hear Ruth running to the kitchen to get her mother. "Mommie, Mommie! antie Danath on ther tewefone, the wanth to thpeak to you."

"Okay Ruth, tell her imp coming okay"

"Yeth mommy."

"good girl."

Ruth picked the phone up again. "Hewo?"

"Hi Ruth."

"Mommie theth vats shees comingk."

"Okay. Bye baby."

"Roof's not a baby!!"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot, by sugar."

"Woi ith roofie thugar?"

Dana was about to answer until Emily wrestled the phone from Ruth.

"Hi Dana?"

"Hi Em!! I have something else to tell you!"

"What is it?!"

"Guess."

"Hmm, lets see.. your a world -class champion boxer, am I right?!"

Dana rolled her eyes and Mulder crept up behind her.

"Yes! Well, actually no, guess again."

"Oh Day, do I have to? "

"Fine, I'll tell you."

"Well?"

"I'm pregnant!!"

"WHAT!!??"

"You heard me right!, I'm pregnant!"

"Oooh myyy goooord."

"Aren't you gonna congratulate me?"

"Hmm? OH yeah, CONGRATULATIONS DANA AND FOX!!!!!!!" she yelled into the phone, Scully had to hold it away from her ear, Mulder kept creeping.

"Jeez, you weren't loud enough, I couldn't hear you," she said sarcastically. Mulder was now kneeling on the floor behind Scully, unnoticed. "Should I say it again?"

"No!!"

"Okay. What are you going to call it?"

"Don't know yet, we haven't talked it over yet."

"Soo, any worshipping the porcelain god early in the morning yet?"

"Yeah, quite a while this morning."

"Cravings?"

"Carrots and chocolate ice-cream."

"Woah. That's a weird lot, guess it's better than pickles and just plain ice cream."

"S'pose so." Mulder's hand stroked the back of Scully's leg.

"Oh!"

"What is it, Day? "

Scully looked down and saw Mulder's mischievous face smiling up at her, his hand slowly working its way up her leg to her skirt.

"Dana? you still there?"

"Uuuh, yeah."

"Are you ok? you sound flustered."

"Oh no, I'm fine."

Scully tried to smack Mulder's hand away. He was too quick, he darted it to the side and began another trek up her leg with the other hand.

"Dana?"

"hmmmm?"

"Are you 100% sure everything's fine?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, Do you think it's going to be a boy or girl?"

"Well, this checkout girl at the at the drug store told me about this tradition her family had where they took the engagement ring or wedding ring of the pregnant woman and tied it to a string, then they dangle it over their abdomen and if it twirls in a circle, it's a boy, and if it's swings to and fro, it's a girl, if it stays still, it's twins."

"Have you tried it yet?"

"We will after my mom gets back, she'll want to know too."

"Why not the baby shower?"

"Oh, okay sounds good."

Scully breathed in quickly as Mulder's wandering hand found its way into her undies.

"Mulder! Stop it!" she whispered.

"Day, were you talking' to me?"

"Unmmm, no, I was talking to myself."

"Right."

"Oh god!" Mulder's fingers brushed over her sensitive spot making her press her legs together.

"Dana, your doing it again."

"What?" Her voice sounded breathy.

"Talking weird. Like your out of breath."

Scully tried to regain her composure. "No I'm not!"

"Yes you are. look, Dana, imp sorry, but I have to go, Ruth and Damien are getting their fingers into the cake mixture and I need to save it from total destruction. Come around to our place later! oh, and bring your mom and Fox too! bye!"

"Bye Em."

Scully put the phone down and slapped Mulder's exploring hand away.

"Mulder! "

"What Tiger?"

"Don't do that when I'm on the phone!"

"But you liked it didn't you?"

Scully rose an eyebrow at him. "All other times, yes, but when I'm talking on the phone to someone, no."

"Okay, I'm sorry, Lovers?"

He held out his hand. Scully laughed. "Lovers." She pulled his head down and kissed him hard.

The End!!

 


Well There! happy now? I hope I saved the lives of the dying shippers out there who begged so hard. Sorry I took so long ;) Have a nice Day/Night!!
