Jackson Van De Kamp, Babysitting Extraordinaire Challenge

Your challenge is to write a story about babysitting.

Set your story any time after season 11. For reasons you devise, Mulder and Scully call upon Jackson* to babysit his younger sibling (sister? brother? or did Scully's pregnancy result in a multiple birth? totally up to you)

It's also your choice to if this is a AU story that branches off from canon pre-My Struggle IV's conclusion so that avoids the final scenes in the episode, or if in your tale Jackson is discovered to still be alive post-series.

And lastly, give Jackson some sort of challenge to cope with, because every babysitter knows that there are nights that just don't go smoothly. Do Mulder and Scully get home very very late? Does the baby or toddler get sick or refuses to sleep? Is there an unexpected and scary storm? An intruder? A non-human intruder? An issue with a pet? Something else?? You tell us :D

*Or William, if you provide a reason why he wants his original name back
