Part 1 <—> Part 3

Things had changed in Chris’ household. Chris knew that through his life there were going to be times where he had to sacrifice certain things he thought he couldn't live without if he wanted their marriage to work and so far he had sacrificed a lot. Sometimes he thought about how younger Chris would look at him now. He had let this woman completely take over his life. First he had to sacrifice his friendship with nate who was a ‘bad influence’ on him, then he had to sacrifice his relationship with his parents who were ‘brainwashing’ him, then he had to sacrifice his friendship with Madi, Tara, Quen and Madison Beer because they were all ‘flirting’ with Chris and disrespecting his wife, he had to sacrifice his relationship with his older brother Justin because ‘he took to much of Chris’ time’. So, so, so many sacrifices had been made to make Aaliyah happy and yet here she still was, making his life miserable.

The couple were planning to move. That's what started the whole ordeal. The couple had decided to pack up and move to San Diego about a year ago and they only had 3 more days until they were gone for good. Well, to be completely honest it was more of Aaliyah yelling and Chris being too scared to do anything to stop it. Apparently she wanted to be closer to her dad and step mom which confused Chris because from what he knew, she hasn't spoken to her father since she told him she was pregnant. He still remembered when he told his brothers. Matt started crying on the spot which really did shake Chris to his core. Matt always said he hated Chris and thought he knew it was a joke he still didn’t think that Matt would be so distraught over Chris Leaving. They still planned to do Youtube. They planned to rotate, one week they would be in Los Angeles and the other they would be in San Diego. It would be tough but they had no other option. The whole argument started when Chris had stated he wasn't sure if he liked the dark brown wood for the floor that Aaliyah had chosen in front of their interior designer. He wasn't rude or malicious, he was simply voicing his opinion, but it was enough to have Aaliyah beating him for “embarrassing her.”

“You ought to wrap that wrist up.” Aaliyah said from the doorway of their living room staring at her husband who was hunched over their couch, trying to wipe the remaining blood from his mouth. He looked up at his wife with nothing but pure terror. The tyrant was back.

“Relax, i'm not here to hurt you,” Aaliayh chuckled as she approached him. Laughing, she was laughing. How could she be laughing? 

Aaliyah sat next to Chris examining his face and Chris simply froze. She had done this to him. She was the one to hurt him. She was the one who bruised him, she was the one who caused him to be bleeding out and now here she was, sat next to him like a loving wife. She leaned forward and abruptly brought her hand up to his face. By pure muscle memory Chris jumped back, preparing for the next blow to his already weak body. She laughed. Again. She laughed at his pain. 

“I'm not going to hurt you silly,” She laughed, “I'm just here to clean you up.”

Her smile was so deceiving. With that smile she could light up an entire room, she could have bored you outta your mind listening to her ramble about the most useless things but you would stay there and listen in the hopes of even catching a glimpse of that smile. She is so addictive yet she was poisonous. Like a hard drug, something you can't seem to live without even if its slowly killing you. 

After about half an hour she had fully cleaned Chris’ cuts and bruises and had kissed him so many times her lips were puffy and she was starting to feel slightly light headed. It was late, Adriana had been asleep for hours at this point and Chris was slowly starting to slip into unconsciousness

“I'm so sorry Chris, you know I love you right?” She said as she rolled on top of him in their shared bed.

“I know.” Chris said, not bothering to look at her, instead he stayed fixated on the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, the same thoughts as always racing through his mind.

How did he end up here?

How could he let this happen?

Why couldn't he just man up and take his child and leave?

Why couldn't he protect his own child?

Why couldn't he tell his brothers?

Why couldn't he te-

“Chris!” Aaliyah yelled as she sat up, looking at him slightly agitated.

“Huh?”

“Did you hear anything I just said?”

“No.”

Alliyah simply rolled her eyes before getting off him, “And im not good enough for you to listen to as usual. Some excuse of a husband you are.” She grumbled angrily.

Chris knew he had to deescalate whatever it was that was brewing or he could end up sleeping in his car tonight, so he sat up, resting against their head rest before picking Aaliyah up slightly and sitting her on his lap. He then kissed all over her face down to her neck until she was giggling uncontrollably.

“Chris stop!” She laughed, not pushing him away though.

“I'm sorry, it's not that I wasn't listening to you, I'm just so tired. Tell me what you were saying again, I promise you've got my full attention”.  Chris said before resting his head on her chest.

It was moments like this when Chris thought maybe things werent os bad. He was here with his wife, in their joint bed, kissing and laughing, enjoying each other presence, basking in joy and lo-

“I think it's about time we cut off your brothers.”

Moment ended.

“What?” He asked, whipping his head up. He was shocked. Him and his brothers were a package deal. It had been all of them or none of them for so long. His brothers were something he could rely on because they were countistant. You can’t exactly stop being a triplet after all, and now here she was. Getting rid of the one piece of consistency he had through tough times.

“Chris, you are far too reliant on them, I mean 3 weeks ago we got into a little argument and you picked up our child and spent the night with them. That's not normal Chris.”

It wasn't a little argument. She hurt their daughter. She hurt his daughter.

“Listen to me Chris,” Aaliyah started again, adjusting herself slightly so she was straddling him, “Chris I love you, I’m doing this because I love you. I mean what type of example would that set for Adriana? You need to learn to be strong on your own. Not with Nick or Matt holding your hand through life.”

Chris was silent, looking down at his lap through the whole speech.

“Chris, I am all you need. You don't need them, the fact that you've cut everyone else off and have been just fine just proves all you need is me, you don't need anyone else Chris i promise you.” She said sweetly before pressing a kiss to his lips which isn't reciprocated.

“I just… I need to think about it.”

“What?” Aaliyah asked, sitting up and starting to get off Chris once again.

“Those are my brothers Ali, I can't just get rid of them.” “Yes you can!” Aaliyah exclaimed. “Chris when we leave in 3 days you are to block their numbers and get rid of them or I promise you, you will never see Adriana again. If me and Adi aren't good enough for you then you don't deserve us at all. You don't need them Chris but you need me and you are a coward and a cheating bitch for even thinking you can have all of us to yourself.”

“I've never cheated on you Ali…” Chris tried to protest but she cut him off.

“What, you really think I'm that stupid? All the times you ‘go to your brother's house to film’ you think i don't know you're out being a whore. You dont think i know your out there fucking any bitch who comes within a 5 foot radius of you. You don't think I know? You're pathetic.”  She screamed at him. Chris couldn't even say anything. The claims were so far-fetched that he didn't even know how to defend himself. “Get the fuck out of this room Chris.” She said finally before turning over.

“Ali I didn't ev-” 

“Chris get the fuck out of this room!” Aaliyah screamed again. When Chris didn't move, frozen in pure astonishment she started punching him in the head.

The first punch was enough to snap him out of this trans, the second punch was enough to kick off a heavy migraine and the ones that followed were enough to add more fuel to this fire. 

“Get out! Get out! Get Out!” she screamed again and again, landing punch after punch. 

Chris quickly scrambled to his feet and ran for their bedroom door, trying to avoid the objects that she was hurling at him. When he finally got out of the room he just stood there for a while taking in what had just happened. He had to get rid of his brothers. His shoulder to cry in, his light at the end of the tunnel. He had to get rid of them. Slowly Chris found himself sitting on the floor, knees to his chest simply sobbing. He had to get rid of his brothers.

He had to get rid of his brothers.

“Nick stop!” Chris laughed as he watched his brother throw Adriana up in the air before catching the giggling girl again.

“I can't stop, i'm not gonna be able to see my niece any time i want anymore, i have to take in every moment i can.” He said before resting Adriana on his hip.

“I still can’t believe you're actually leaving.” Matt said softly, looking at his triplet brother. 

“Chris can you please tell him you'll call him everyday. I keep telling him we're still gonna talk all the time but the kid just won't listen.” Nick laughed, throwing Adriana into the air again. Chris’ smile faltered a little at that.

It had been 2 days since his argument with Aaliyah and she was still set on Chris cutting his brothers off. The only reason he was even allowed to come and see them was because he had promised that today would be the day he cut them off.

“Hey Adi, why don’t you we let Aunty Sunday put Nemo on for you the living room huh?”

Sunday was Matt’s girlfriend who Adriana absolutely adored. He watched as his daughter toddled into the other room before looking at the confused faces of his brothers.

“I need to talk to you two.” Chris stated bluntly before taking a deep breath and just letting out. It’s now or never and though he preferred never, he cared for his daughter too much to let her go without a fight.

“I love you guys. I really do. I love you with everything in me. You’re my best friends and I genuinely don’t know where I would be without the two of you but I just. I just think I need some time. Some time away from being a triplet to just think about my wife and my child. I just, I need time, you know?”

They didn’t know and they didn’t get it.

“Time? Like how long are we talking, like a week, maybe two?” Matt asked, Chris couldn’t bear this, he couldn’t even look at him. “Or like maybe a month?”

“I was thinking more like a few years,” Chris replied softly.

There it is. The bomb was dropped.

It was silent. Nobody said a word. Everyone was too shocked to even comprehend what had just been said. A break? For a few years? How does one simply decide that they need a break from being a triplet and how do they decide that need a break for so long?

Nick especially wasnt having it. Nobody optionally has a break from being brothers. Especially not triplets.

“What did Aaliyah out you on to this?” Nick spat with nothing but anger in his tone.

Chris and Matt were stunned but for different reasons. Matt because he couldn’t believe his brother would actually voice an accusation like that, and Chris because of how accurate it was.

“Wh-, what are you talking about Nick.”

“Don’t play games with me Chris. You don’t think we’ve seen the difference? You suddenly can’t make it to hang out or you suddenly can’t reply to messages after a certain time?” Nick screamed as he stood up off his couch.

“Nick I don’t know wha-” Chris tried again before being interrupted again.

“And I’ve seen the bruises little one!” Nick yelled again.

Caught.

Chris was stunned. They couldn’t know. If they found out they would only see him as week and unfit to be a father.

“What the hell are you talking about Nicolas!” Chris shouted as well, taking a step forward.

Nick rolled his eyes before grabbing Adriana’s baby bag, picking up 2 clean baby wipes and quickly coming at Chris. Chris flinched hard but that didn’t stop Nick from swiping the wipe across Chris’ face, revealing the concealer he was wearing and a purple bruise that had formed on his face.

“Yeah then what’s this?” Nick yelled showing his younger brother the wipe.

“Nick,” Matt interjected, trying to calm everyone down, “let’s all just take a deep breath okay?”

“What the fuck Nick, how dare you accuse my wife of something so evil! I fell down the stairs a few days ago! That’s were the bruise is from you sick fuck.” Chris yelled back.

“Oh spare me!” Nick replied. “So what happens when something happens to that little girl huh? What happens when she won’t let her have friends or go on playdates or go to the park? what happens when she isolates her daughter the same way she’s isolating you!”

“You know what, this is exactly why I can’t be around you. You’re all delusional and this sort of environment is not good for my child.” Chris yelled, picking up Adriana's baby bag and walking out of the room to grab Adriana.

He walked through the room, seeing Adriana and Sunday playing together. Without saying a word he picked his daughter up and started heading toward the door. “Chris? Chris what happened to your face?” Sunday tried to ask before hearing her own boyfriend running through the room.

“Chris! Chris stop!” Matt yelled while chasing after his brother who didn’t even turn around.

Chris walked straight to the car before gently putting Adriana into her car seat while Matt tried to calm him down.

“Please Chris, Nick was just trying to help, he loves you.” Matt tried to reason but Chris simply wasn’t having it.

“Nick he just accused my wife of beating me I can’t just le-”

“Chris!” Matt yelled, starting to get annoyed. “Chris we love you. More than anything and he’s just hurt that you’re leaving us. I mean a break? Come on Chris.”

That did make Chris feel bad. He always had his brothers. He wouldn’t be where he was now if not for them and now he was leaving them. Chris just felt so awful.

“I’m sorry Matt, I just… I just have to.” Chris replied softly looking down.

It was silent for a minute, then Matt spoke up. “Okay, and when this break ends we and Nick will be waiting for you, because we love you.”

With that Matt brought Chris into a hug. A proper hug. That was all Chris needed for the silent tears to come crumbling down. He was sure how long they were in that hug for before he felt another pair of area wrap around him.

“ I love you Chris, you have to know that.” Nick said, voice thick with tears.

“I know and I’m sorry. I love you guys too, both of you, so much” Chris said pulling away from the hug.

Matt then made his way over to the back of the car where Adriana had been buckled in.

“Hey baby, it looks like I won’t be seeing you for a while. You rember your Uncle Matt okay?” Matt told her making her giggle a little, not fully understanding the situation.

“And don’t forget your Uncle Nick either.” Nick interjected.

“Okay I promise I won’t. Pinky promise.” The little girl promised holding out her pinky fingers for both men to intertwine their fingers with.

The two said their goodbyes to their niece before shutting the door and looking back at Chris.

“Look, I don’t know what type of arrangement you and Ali have, but you protect that little girl or I will, you hear me?” Nick warned him.

Chris simply nodded, too emotional to trust himself to let out any sort of words. 

“I’m sorry, and I love you guys,” Chris said one last time.

“We love you too Chris. You take care of yourself okay?” Matt said one last time.

With that Chris got into his car and started to reverse out of his brothers drive way while his two brothers watched. Once he had fully reversed, he caught one last glance at his brothers, noticing the tears streaming down their faces. He wanted to stop the car, run out and tell them everything but he simply couldn’t. Instead he gave them one last smile before driving off. Now he was fully alone. Nobody to talk to, nobody to help him. He had nobody at all.

And with that, one single tear swam down his face.

BONUS SCENE

Nick just stood there in his drive way, tears running down his face. “Now what do we do.”

With that Matt took his phone out, going to ‘find my’ where a moving air tag was displayed. Nick’s eyes widened slightly, realising exactly what Nick had done.

“Now we go and help our brother.”

Top 10 Nick x Charlie fics I’ve read (June 2024)

Don't Believe Him by 7ate9

When Charlie tells his study group he's dating Leed's rugby star Nick Nelson, they don't quite believe him. It's embarrassing to go with them to the rugby game, with their voices in his ears telling him he's mad, but Nick is always there to prove those voices wrong, even when he doesn't even know they exist.

first fluttering (of its silken wings) by thetomkatwholived [G]

What if the leaves were real? Charlie lives in a world full of Flutters, where his leaves follow him almost everywhere. Enter Nick Nelson, who hasn’t seen his Flutters in years.

Let it Out and Let it In by 7ate9 [M]

Nick was the last person to see Charlie Spring before he went missing. They spent the afternoon together, and Nick kissed him goodbye and watched him walk away. Charlie never made it home. In the wake of his disappearance, their friends and family have to deal with the fallout. Nick is holding out hope for Charlie to come back, because he doesn't know what he'd do if he doesn't.

look now, the sky is gold by kissmeinnewyork [T]

“Your mum’s been texting me.” Charlie can just about make out Nick’s bemused expression over his shitty student halls wifi connection. “She’s been doing what?” In the days after Nick goes to university, Sarah Nelson looks after Charlie like he's her own. (A collection of stories about found family, empty nests, house keys and Nick, Charlie and Sarah).

Narlie Waves by waveofyou [E]

A Heartstopper California AU where Nick (31) and the HS crew we know and love live in SoCal. Charlie (29) leaves his London office to work in San Diego for a year. Nellie makes a new puppy bestie. Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he's deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he's safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂 ⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂” Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂” …so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️

now i've read all of the books beside your bed by thetomkatwholived [T]

Tara smirked. “Yes, Charlie Spring. Isaac is one of his best friends. He posts booktube videos.” “Booktube?” Darcy rolled her eyes. “Get on the internet, Nicholas! Youtube videos specifically about books. Isaac has a really great channel. Awesome queer recs.” She handed an earbud to Tara, and they both huddled around her phone. Or, Nick sees Charlie for the first time in years in Isaac's video and maybe that crush he thought was dulled comes back in full force. At least he can get all the recommended books at the new bookshop in town…

The Quarantine Chronicles by CJShips [T]

Inspired by the Heartstopper Mini-Comic: The Haircut, aged-up Nick and Charlie navigate pandemic life. I hope to make this a series of vignettes, but I wrote this first chapter as a stand-alone. Come on Charlie, just get here Nick begged internally, raising a hand to scrub his face. … Irrational thoughts that he’d been walling off for hours began to break through. What if Charlie’s flight had been re-routed? Or not taken off at all? Or what if the flight had arrived at SFO but for some reason, Charlie wasn’t on it? What if the United States sealed its borders and Nick became trapped in a different country from the most important person in the world? … For the first time since he and Charlie moved to San Francisco eight months ago, Nick wondered if it was a terrible mistake.

We Just Keep Going by agreatwave [M]

“Nothing’s wrong, nothing happened,” He reassures. “I just want to come home.” “Charlie - ” “I just really want to be with you tonight,” Charlie interrupts. Nick’s heart skips a beat. “Is- is that ok?” Charlie asks when Nick doesn’t respond immediately. This, more than anything, sets off an alarm in Nick’s head. It’s rare, these days, for Charlie to question things like he used to. OR When another long term couple breaks up, Charlie needs reassurance. Nick is more than happy to give it.

the wedding dance by steelknuckles [G]

Nick has two left feet, so he's lucky to have Charlie to guide him during their wedding dance. If love was a piano, it would be every note from top to bottom.

you only stay by peaceoutofthepieces [G]

“Ben talked to you at the cinema?” Nick interrupts, his voice shaking. His eyes are wide, and he grips Charlie’s hand tighter. “When did you talk to Ben?” “Oh.” Charlie looks down. “Uhm, outside, just before I left. After you’d gone back in.” He glances up in time to see Nick’s expression go pained, and he reaches his free hand over so he can grip Nick’s and squeeze back. “What did he say?” Nick asks quietly. “It doesn’t matter,” Charlie tries, but Nick’s kicked-puppy look only strengthens. “He just—it was the same thing about denying his feelings and being a dick about it. Telling me he never liked me, but I was pathetic enough for him to feel sorry for me. Usual Ben things.”

"If you don't stop now- "

Day 12 Fictober 

Prompt #14 - "If you don't stop now —"

Find me on Ao3

Dinner at Maggie’s was always a treat for Mulder. He saw how traditional families ate together, joked together, discussed current events that didn’t involve world and life-threatening conspiracies. It was just a normal day at a normal house with a normal family. 

Even Bill Jr.’s jobs about the X-Files couldn’t stop the feeling of home and belonging that washed over Mulder. 

“When are you coming out to visit San Diego, Day?” Bill asked. 

Scully looked from her brother to Mulder, and couldn’t imagine the two of them together for more than a couple of hours  “I’m not sure,” Scully replied, rubbing Mulder’s thigh. “Work has been busy lately.”

“Oh,” Bill waved a hand, “work will always be busy. You have to take time out for yourself.”

“He’s right,” Maggie agreed, swirling the wine in her glass. “It’s important to enjoy your time together.

Mulder nudged Scully with his leg. “Could be good for us to get away. A week in California. I’ve never really seen your old stomping grounds, Scully. You’ve seen all of mine.”

She rubbed his knee, imagining the two of them at the beach, staying up late and indulging in one too many drinks. Her hand drifted higher up his thigh and Mulder choked on his wine.

“You know,” Bill said, “they just opened this great new restaurant in the Gaslamp Quarter.”

Mulder dabbed at his mouth with a napkin. Scully’s fingers teased the bulge in his pants.

“Oh, the tapas place?” Maggie asked and Bill nodded. “Oh, I just love tapas. Have you ever had them, Fox?”

Scully’s palm pressed into the crotch of his jeans. Mulder cleared his throat, attempting to sound calm. “I love tapas, Mrs. Scully.” He felt sweat beading his forehead. “They’re great. I don’t think Scully here has ever had them.”

“Oh, you have to try them, Dana!” Tara exclaimed. “Even Matthew likes them and he’s very picky. I’m sure there’s a great restaurant here in D.C.!” 

Scully’s fingers squeezed around Mulder’s growing cock.

“We’ll uh… we’ll look into it.” Mulder’s voice was strained. 

“Fox, are you feeling okay?” Mrs. Scully asked, concerned. 

“Yeah, Mulder,” Scully chimed in, rubbing the head of his now very erect penis. “You’re looking a little sweaty.”

“Oh, dear. I hope it wasn’t the food,” Mrs. Scully added.

“No, it wasn’t,” Mulder reassured. “I’m fine.”

Scully stroked him over the rough fabric of his pants from root to tip and his hips involuntarily flexed into her warm hand. 

When Maggie asked what Matty likes to eat at the tapas restaurant, Tara was more than happy to share adorable anecdotes about her grandson. Mulder had ceased to respond to the rest of the conversation, too engrossed in the pleasure of Scully’s special attention. 

She looked so calm, smiling when necessary, laughing when Tara told them all the cute things Matthew did. Though Mulder had known Scully for nearly a decade, it was clear he had much to learn about her. 

This was a side of Scully he rarely saw. Today he saw the rebel. The girl who smoked her mother’s cigarettes, who stole out in the middle of the night to meet a boy. He saw the young woman who would sneak boyfriends into her room while her parents were asleep, the one who defied her parents expectations and joined the F.B.I.

Precum dripped from his cock and he throbbed against Scully’s firm hands. She was so good, so careful to touch him in just the right spot, but not hurt him through the fabric and zipper. She’d tease the head and caress this length, tease his inner thigh and balls before paying special attention to his head again.

He leaned over and whisper into Scully’s ear, “"If you don't stop now —"

“Fox, are you sure you’re okay? Bill asked. “Your face is very flushed. You should have Dana take a look at you.”

“That’s a good idea,” agreed Maggie. “Why don’t you take him upstairs to the guest room and have him lie down? Let him rest.”

“That’s a good idea,” Scully agreed. “Thanks, mom. Come on, Mulder.” She reached for his hand and pulled him toward the stairs, walking in front of him to cover his massive erection. 

“Okay,” Mulder muttered, barely able to walk. “Sorry, everyone.”

“It’s okay, Mulder,” Bill called. “My sister will take good care of you. She’s very good at what she does.”

My heart has broken in pieces. One of my best pals John Cassaday passed away last night. 52. Way too young. I'm fucking devastated. I've been waiting to post anything as I was trying to find the right words. Plus, I was digging up old photos. Still so many to go through. I may ramble a bit so please bear with me. 

I was at the hospital when he peacefully passed away and I got to say goodbye beforehand. I heard about his hospitalization (I wont go into details on what happened) on Wednesday and went to the hospital every day before work. I would go into his room each time and just chat with him. I randomly texted him last Monday night, 

“Hello! I just wanted to say hi and send some mad Jimmy love. Careful. It’s spicy!”  He replied at 10:46pm with “Love you back!” And as I found out later from his girlfriend Tara, he was taken to the hospital about an hour or so later. Some small solace that my final text was one of mutual love. 

Yesterday, I went into his room and spent some time with him and said good-bye just a couple of hours before he was no longer with us. I gave as much love as I could, mentioning as many as I remembered. And I know this may seem silly, but when I held his hand, I felt a small twitch. I know it”s just an unpredictable body thing but I’ll take it. As you can imagine, I’m a wreck and have been openly bawling off and on. He is my best friend. And that’s what’s great. He is a lot of people's best friend. He is so loved. And even though we may not have hung much as we used to, we always stayed in touch. Always there if I needed.

I first met John back in 2002 through a friend. She had told me about him and of course, I knew who he was from his comic work. Needless to say, we rapidly hit it off. Almost immediately started hanging out. We notoriously hit all the Hell's Kitchen spots (I lived there and he liked hanging there) til the wee hours for years. He introduced me to so many people and a bunch of us would hang out all the time. (Looking at you Paul Pope and John Lucas). That was the thing about John. As said, I was one of his best pals. But I know a lot of people were. Lucas and I were reminiscing last night about how he jokingly passed the Cassaday "best friend" mantle on to me when he moved out of NYC. Cass was so loved and admired by everyone. He always wanted me to meet other friends he knew and would tell me all about them. As I know he would tell them about me. He wanted us all to be one big family of friends. 

I started doing the podcast with Joe Gonzalez in 2005 and John was so supportive. He'd come to the anniversary live recordings as either a guest or just to hang and support. My first San Diego Comic Con was that year and he introduced me to big name friends of his and asked if they'd let us interview them. He'd always tell his friends, "Jimmy's got this terrific new podcast. You gotta go on it". We were always together at SDCC over the years. So much so that if we weren't together at the moment, people would promptly ask me "Where's John?" I loved it! For years, we'd either be on the same flight in or try to land at similar times and then a friend would take us straight to In N Out. 

Besides comics, we shared our love for quite a few things. One of them being the movie It's A Wonderful Life. It's my fave film of all time. And John loved it so much as well. We'd talk about it, quote it, reference it, etc. A couple of years ago, he got me an incredible birthday gift. It's one of those old movie lobby cards that were displayed in movie theater lobbies back in the day. And yes, this one was from back in the 1940's when the movie was released! I had it framed and it's been on my wall ever since. Along with an original art piece from his Astonishing X-Men run he gifted me for another birthday years ago. 

So many favorite memories with him. A few random ones: 1). Me, him and Lucas hit a comedy show back in the day and all 3 of us had our long hair and one comedian kept referring to us as the "cast of The Sopranos". 2). Nick Barrucci got us a limo from NYC to Philly to celebrate John's birthday for one weekend. Fun weekend of food/drinks/clubs/etc. 3). One SDCC, he grabbed my flask usually full of whiskey (I had substituted it w/ an amaro) and did a literal spit take onto my white tie. 4). He refused to get a cell phone for a long time and would have people call/text me when we were out. Sometimes a famous friend or 2 and I'd be like "(insert celeb name here) just called me!" I eventually took him to get his first one. 5). He became friends with Nathan Fillion and brought him to my bar one night. I got off early and the 3 of us had A NIGHT of food/drinks til about 8am when we left the after hours pub. 

I have so many memories and so many pictures to share. Perhaps I will start to share them soon. 

Also, he'd love that he's being talked about in the same space as the great James Earl Jones whom we also lost on Monday. Legends both.

I can't say enough about his girlfriend of 10 years Tara. She was a warrior throughout all of this. While I fielded some calls/texts/messages and helped inform people, she was doing it tenfold. So much love to her and John's family. Some of his cousins came down and it was lovely to spend time with them.

An IAWL quote: "All you can take with you is that which you've given away." And John gave away so much love. 

I'm devastated. The grief comes in waves. But I will spread the Cassaday love forever. Happy to share any stories and love seeing all of yours. He was a love virus. An incredibly talented, kind, generous, loving, loyal friend. I will never forget you, Johnny boy. You changed my life for the better.

X-Files Collector's Edition: Scully's Arcadian Birthday

Arcadia takes place around Scully's birthday-- so how, exactly, did that unfold? These fics cover different takes on that birthday: some celebrated before the case, others talked about on the case, and still others that weren't acknowledged at all.

Loose chronological order below~

@mappingthexfiles/Apostrophic’s Arcadia

""But, Mulder. Some people want this. Some people want normal. This kind of normal.”

She knew he would glance up at that. She had readied her face. He tried to read it, trying to see if she meant herself. He did not think she did. He was never quite sure.

Mulder said, “That’s my point. The ones that don’t, they don’t fit in.” The kitchen was quiet around them. The whole neighborhood quiet this time of night. “Maybe the Klines didn’t fit in.”

She said, “Like you and me.”

He hesitated. He said, “Like me.” Hedging his bets.

The look on Scully’s face was thoughtful, nothing else. He waited her out as she thought that one over. Or, he thought that’s what she thought over, until she said, looking at him, “I’m not so sure the Schroeders fit either.""

Mulder is nervous about being fake married, confessing to his gf Scully over her birthday dinner. She contemplates his thoughts on truth, reality, and projection; giving him great banter and insight throughout their stay.

@atths–twice​’s (Ao3, Alt. Ao3, FFN) A Life Without Regrets

""...his mother was right. Sometimes those we care about do hurt us most. He had hurt Scully and he needed to fix it. He needed to show her. This upcoming case might be what they needed to get back to who they were.

Or, they just might kill each other.""

Mulder's mother is happy to have a little "oops" Valentine's Dinner with him; but she gently pushes him to center his focus on Scully. He considers this while celebrating at Scully's birthday dinner.

@agentwhalesong/sadandangstyagent’s (Ao3) Too Carried Away

""Happy birthday, Scully,” he said cheerfully, throwing the file her way across the desk.

She caught it before it fell to the floor and looked at him in a mix of annoyance and amusement.

“I’m impressed you remembered. I mean, it hasn’t been four years yet since the last one.”

“Well, I’ve been trying to keep track of important dates since then. I remembered it last year, too.”

He cracked a sunflower seed between his teeth, and she smiled in spite of herself.

“So, all a girl had to do was almost die for you to pay attention to her, huh?""

Mulder and Scully's almost moment (during their couple "rehearsal") is squashed when Diana pops in. Scully realizes she needs to establish some distance for the case.

@lotsoforangesoutside/@lotzzoforangezoutside‘s (Ao3)

The Fox Mulder Show

""Did you think we’d be celebrating your birthday in San Diego this year?”

She shook her head. “No, and I don’t want to.”

“Is Bill in town?”

“Nope, I don’t think so, but I can call Mom and find out.""

“We can go see Tara and Matthew, and light a candle for Emily?” She nodded in his arms and he kissed her cheek. “We’ll do the birthday thing when the case is over?”

Mulder and Scully are dating; and Mulder is HIGHLY suspicious of Skinner's motives by assigning them this case. Scully suggests they play into the stereotypes.

@nnyyssssaa/dksfwm’s (Alt. Ao3) Episode: Arcadia (Ao3)

""This… isn’t new. Just unfamiliar enough to make them apprehensive. Not uncomfortable. But their senses are heightened, both fully aware, of what they’re doing. She’s not welcoming him with open arms, but she’s not going to push him away, either. Maybe it’s the exhaustion. The fact that he looks so soft, inviting, with his towel-dried spiked hair, gray cotton T-shirt, flannel pajama bottoms. It’s making any argument against incredibly difficult, near impossible.

Two can play at this game, apparently. Round 2, Fox Mulder.""

Scully softens from her mild score keeping when Mulder gifts her a pair of Samantha's earrings. He hadn't forgotten; and she's touched.

 @cock-holliday/biggyyeehaw's Fictober 2022 - Chapter 6 (Ao3)

""I wanted to give it to you earlier, but things got a little…busy,” he laughed with a quirk of his brow.

Mulder handed Scully a folded up piece of paper.

It wasn’t what Scully expected. She assumed by now he meant for her birthday, though he had given no indication all day that he had remembered. In all honesty she forgot a bit too. Today had been busy. Now that he was bringing it up, a piece of paper seemed comical.""

Scully is suspicious of Mulder's spa gift; and realizes he thought she'd wanted to be far, far away from him. She assures that she just needed space, not permanent distance.

Penny Sycamore’s Nightmare on Autumn Terrace

""Maybe it was the geography, this was their first time back to San Diego since...well, since. It wouldn't have been his first choice for a field assignment (or his seventeenth, for that matter), but this was their first chance back at the X-Files, and they couldn't afford to be picky. He had thought, or at least hoped, that Scully understood that. Or was it the fact that he had ignored her birthday? No, she should be used to that by now. He would make it up to her eventually, but San Diego just didn't seem like the right time or place for a celebration.

Maybe she just didn't want to be seen in public with him, and if he were honest with himself, he could hardly blame her. It wasn't that long ago he was playing kissy-face with Diana. And although he and Scully had pretty much gotten past all that, the thought of any kind of display of affection, whether simulated or genuine might be more than Scully was ready for. ""

Mulder wonders why Scully has been distant the whole case. In a late-night confession, she opens up about post Monday nightmares, earning his respect for her courage (and thanks that she hadn't despised him for not bringing up her birthday.)

thenonexisting's life is just a game

""As seriously as she had tried to take it, Mulder seemed to be like a kid in a candy shop, finding any excuse to poke her buttons in front of the neighbours, touching and cuddling and whispering at every opportunity. The way he was going, it would only be a matter of time before the other couples at the Falls sussed then out. 

His behaviour was illogical. Foiling their undercover op would not bode well with the Bureau, least not support their reclamation of the x-files, but it was as if he did not care. It frustrated her to no end. Did he not want them back after all? Did Diana’s disappearance make him want distance from pursuing the Truth? Could he no longer be the Believer to her Skeptic so long as his former confidante was MIA?

No, she would not veer back down that path.""

 Mulder and Scully are pushing the boundaries of their relationship; but can't quite iron out their ability to communicate their wants and needs from each other in the wake of One Son... especially because both don't know what those are.

@mldrgrl’s (Ao3) This House is Protected by Neighborhood Watch

""Mulder, I can count on one finger the times you’ve acknowledged my birthday.”

“I didn’t say I acknowledged it, I said I remembered it.”

“Good night, Mulder.”

“1994, we were grounded because of that wild goose chase Deep Throat sent us on,” he said, following her out of the kitchen to the staircase. “I convinced you to go to the Air & Space Museum with me on lunch and you didn’t want to go because you said it was going to snow. I bet you ten bucks we’d be back before the snow started. I bought you a pretzel from the hot dog vender on the corner because you refused to eat a hot dog. There were snowflakes in your hair when we got back, but you wouldn’t take my money.""

Mulder spends each night in Arcadia slowly lowering Scully's walls, revealing more about himself and learning more about her.

@dreamingofscully's (Ao3, WBM) xvii. the star

""The sky turned orange and pink and purple as the sun set over the ocean. Screams of children, the mechanical whirr of rides, and the endless jingle of the concessions surrounded them on all sides. All of that disappeared as he sat next to her, except for the feeling that things were finally getting back to normal. The dizziness from the rollercoaster, from not knowing where things were going between them, fading with the sun.

“Hey Scully, I know I’m a couple days late, but… happy birthday.” He watched her profile, the lights from the midway bouncing off her skin in the dim light. Azure and pink and white, a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. Her eyes shone, facing away from him.

“I thought you forgot,” she said, her voice so quiet he had to lean forward to hear.

“Never, Scully.""

Mulder takes Scully to Sea World after the case as a post-birthday celebration. His consideration allows her to relax slowly back into their yin-yang dynamic.

Defnotmeyo’s (WBM, Alt. WBM) Range Day

""I’m sorry.” Mulder really hasn’t thought further ahead than that, and he bites his lip and looks away.

“What for?”

He shrugs a shoulder and they stay like that, the silence heavy and awkward, for minutes. He can hear his watch tick. Can hear her breathe. Can hear his heart beat.

She moves around so he’s staring back at her, forcing him to make eye contact. “You’re not the target, Mulder. You never have been. Not with me.”

“Maybe I wanna be the target,” he mutters. “Maybe I should be.""

Mulder reflects on his behavior after the case, spurred on by a visit to a random smalltown church. He finds Scully and apologizes for stomping over her feelings. Scully assures him he was never a target.

Surajtare's Fragments in Time

""She made sure to send him to the living room at night, even though they already shared a bed, and quite professionally, in Kansas. But this was different. She didn't trust him here, or herself, for that matter. She hid her face behind a green witch's mask and her body in a bathrobe, as self-defense. They had been through too much, have gotten too close lately, to be really comfortable with this mission. But she was enjoying herself. She had to admit at least that.""

Scully and Mulder work through their S6 relationship, which includes a pit stop in Arcadia.

Anne Haynes's (Gossamer) 12 Tales of Christmas

""I lay my head back against the car seat and close my eyes. "Honestly, I don't know why I would rather be with you than anyone else, Mulder. I only know that I do. That it's non-negotiable."

He is silent in reply. The quiet stretches out like something tangible between us. After a moment, I open my eyes and look at him.

I see him blink--once, twice. A single tear slides down his cheek and splashes against the front of his sweater, leaving a faint dark spot. He ignores it. No other tears join the one that fell.

But my heart shatters anyway.""

Mulder is hamming up the suffering saint act to his gf Scully; but he sobers when they run into the still-interested detective from Emily's case. Scully is shocked he gives her leeway; and her loyalty and love shock and awe him.

Enjoy!

Hope you all enjoyed April Fools weekend and lost a few leprauchans of parasitic intent in your lives too!

Hope we can make Thunder happen for my ladies soon - but peace with my family is essential now! Xo

Nitya

Suppanae for 4/3 & 4/13

To be arbitrated & mediated over phone & settled 4/3/23 in Vista Courts 

With my legal team below present, video conference televised or phone.

Sandiego, Riverside, LA Family Courts & PDs to dismiss expired orders for false charges with Pedos from Vista PD: Ashby Clark Sorrensen & Gay silencer Grant Funk who lied & Hustled on video about credentials on Las Calimas videos & calls- also Alibi Darin David Joye to be present & clear foul play with truth from Abi Odam & all testimonies emailed to: nityahuntley@gmail.com 

San Diego DA Summer Stephan to collect maximum refunds from all attys & damages + insurance on all their heads for ghosting me and failing their fiduciary duty to me as their clients -as the defense team continues to do- abusing constitutional civil and real estate laws respecting faith and family bonds.

Estrangement is a UK disease. 

We'd like to "Rewind" all businesses with Dr. Sunil Christopher Rawal- Including Rewind & revert back to 16-17 orders with all returned from scoundrels of courts that were involved in global ponzi scam against my family.

Peace - stop the war- on behalf of mothers of Globe & our daughters. 

Gay defense team failed every code of ethic and should never be allowed kids nor marriage rights. 

We gave you privilege - yet you attacked Vows we shared. 

No rapists shall have our privileges of faith again in union under God. 

I agree with Kim Reynolds of Iowa & will rally for that with her & my cause- to help #FreeBritney & #HalfPersianLivesMatter now. Nor more #HalfPrincessesLivesMatter Shaming from these ghouls in county and state offices. They're unpleasant and all are to be suppanaed abd charged on racist bribes.

Women & moms needed those benefits of marriage laws for donestic harmony- yet they violated moms if faith in these bribes- mean dykes that rape women in divorce courts wont get privilege of marriage protections either.

They Lost privilege of divine union under God in America. 

We all need reparations for injustices and are homes, assets, children & assets restored.

Gratzia!

Merci!

Nitya Nella Davigo Azam Moezzi Huntley Rawal

[the-x-pack]

Sus dotes como detective se habían agudizado desde que el caso a resolver era la mocosa. Jessica apenas podía creer que se vería envuelta en la pesadilla de buscar a un miembro de su familia; a su hija. ¿En qué momento habían ido tan mal las cosas para verse en semejante encrucijada? Apenas había tenido tiempo de asimilar su nueva realidad, lo único que podía hacer era buscar y buscar hasta la desesperación. Un halo de esperanza apareció con el último mensaje. Al principio no supo de qué demonios se trataba, pero tras darle un par de vueltas resultó obvio: una dirección. En la ciudad. Conforme salió del apartamento hizo dos llamadas: a sus hermanos y a Diego. Se las tenían que apañar para llegar allí en menos de quince minutos, o actuaría por su cuenta. 

—La tiene ahí dentro. Kilgrave —explicó una vez estuvieron todos. Apenas podía mirar a Brandon a la cara—. No sé lo que vamos a encontrar, pero haceos ya a la idea, no os va a gustar. Tengo un plan, es una mierda, pero no hay tiempo. Tendrá gente que lo proteja, Diego, Scott, ahí entráis vosotros. Esas personas son inocentes, no saben lo que hacen, pero no podéis dejar que nos entorpezcan el camino. Brandon, tú debes ser quien se reúna con Tara. Eres su padre y el que más capacitado está de todos nosotros para...

—No quiero que hagas de cebo para Kilgrave —replicó rápidamente Brandon. —. Jessica, no podré protegerte. Sin embargo, la morena lo tenía claro y sin dar margen a discusiones, forzó la cerradura para dejar que el trío se adentrase escaleras arribas en el ático. Ella, para agilizar la tarea, saltó hasta alcanzar la terraza. 

(...)

Kilgrave estaba sentado viendo el televisor, con la mocosa a su lado. Una mueca de frustración adornó su rostro y dejando a un lado lo que avecinaba con ser un ataque de pánico, se dispuso a romper el cristal para irrumpir en escena. Sin embargo, un ruido bastante estruendoso en el pasillo captó la atención del hombre de púrpura, quien rápidamente se levantó. Al llegar al pasillo, se encontró con Diego y Scott. Lo habría hecho también con el telepático de no ser porque Scott reaccionó rápido y empujó a su hermano para esconderlo en una de las habitaciones.

—Vosotros dos, quietos —habló rápidamente Kilgrave— ¿Qué demonios es esto? ¿Por qué habéis irrumpido en mi casa? Responded.  

Diego no se vio venir que aquel hombre apareciera tan rápido. El primer instinto de Diego fue acercarse a él para fundirlo a golpetazos. De hecho, sus manos ya se encontraban perfectamente preparadas para ello hasta que su cuerpo se detuvo por completo, llegando incluso a mirarse los pies y hacer algún gesto con la cara como si quisiera tirar de su cuerpo y no pudiera.

— Esto es una misión de rescate, estúpido. Devuélvenos a Tara y muérete después. Te voy a matar.

—Tú cállate —espetó a Scott al ver que despegaba los labios para hablar también—. Misión de rescate, ya veo. Eres un súper héroe bastante peculiar, tengo entendido de que vosotros no matáis, ¿no es así? Ahora entiendo por qué mi Jesse cree que no merece ser una heroína. Bueno, lamento truncar tus planes. Lárgate de aquí, por la ventana. Y tú... Scott, ¿verdad? Ve y dile a tu hermanastro, el mayor, que me lo estoy pasando muy bien con su hija. 

Las palabras de aquel hombre hicieron que Diego frunciera el ceño por completo sin llegar a entender lo que estaba pasando. Sin embargo, su orden directa hizo que sus pies comenzaran a dirigirse hacia una de las ventanas del salón.

— No soy un superhéroe. 

Protestó Diego en camino a lo que sabía que podría ser su final o una acción fatal. Por mucho que tratar de resistirse, le resultó imposible hacerlo. Lo único que logró fue ralentizar el ritmo de sus pasos, deseando que alguien acabara con todo aquello.

Justo cuando Scott se giró en dirección a la habitación, el ruido del cristal en la terraza llamó la atención de Kilgrave. Desde donde estaba, Jessica no podía ver qué estaba pasando y no estaba dispuesta a esperar a que alguno regresara al salón para comprobar su suerte, por lo que se coló en el interior, dando cara a cara con Tara. Por un segundo la miró en silencio, conteniendo la respiración más que consciente de que hasta ese gesto podía traicionarla y echarse a llorar. Hasta que finalmente no pudo controlar sus instintos y la abrazó con fuerza, sollozando de manera sorda.

—Lo siento —susurró, voz áspera—. Lo siento mucho, Tara. Voy a ponerte a salvo, lo prometo. 

Al ver a Jessica no pudo evitar comenzar a llorar y lanzarse a sus brazos con fuerza, hundiendo la cabeza en su hombro aprovechando que por fin tenía a su familia frente a ella ni no a aquel monstruo. Probablemente solo ella podía imaginar la de atrocidades que Kilgrave la había obligado a hacer, aunque al oír sus palabras negó sorbiendo por la nariz.

— No debí irme, ha sido mi culpa. 

—Tara, no dejes que me atrape. Pero tampoco le hagas daño. — Dijo el hombre.

La voz tras su cabeza, una vez más por parte de Kilgrave, hizo que soltase a Jessica aún sin dejar de llorar. Su llanto se podía oír desde la planta baja, situándose frente a la detective con el gesto apenado.

— Lo siento, no quiero hacerlo. 

Mientras tanto, Diego apareció caminando por la habitación y con la mirada puesta sobre la ventana, completamente sumido en sus pensamientos. En su mente tan solo resonaban las palabras del hombre, haciendo que de un ágil salto se subiera a la repisa de la ventana, dispuesto a saltar en cualquier momento.

— Tengo que salir por la ventana. — murmuró.

—No, escúchame. Nada de esto es tu culpa... 

Apenas terminó la frase. No quería dejar sola a Tara en un momento así, pero tampoco podía dejar escapar a Kilgrave, tenía demasiadas cuentas pendientes y confiaba en que Brandon acudiría rápidamente a colosarla. Sin embargo, varios factores intervinieron para que el hombre púrpura escapara con facilidad: Tara impidió a Jessica ir a por él y las palabras de Diego captaron la atención de la morena.

—¿Qué? ¡Diego para! 

Diego parecía haber entrado en una especie de bucle del que no saldría hasta que no cumpliera con la orden del destinatario. Al saltar sobre la cornisa, se tambaleó un poco haciendo que estirase los brazos para recuperar el equilibrio. Sus ojos castaños se posaron sobre la caída al vacío y los coches al otro lado, repitiéndose una vez más aquella frase como si se tratara de un mantra. No vio venir a Jessica y por los pelo no se vio precipitado por la fachada del edificio, haciéndolo por el contrario contra la terraza. Giró la cabeza hacia ella tratando de liberarse de su amarre, convencido y con la intención de volver a subirse a la repisa.

— Tengo que salir por la ventana, Jess.

—¡No! Escúchame, tú no quieres hacerlo. Es Kilgrave dentro de ti. Diego... ¡Diego! ¡Para!

Forcejeó con él tratando de no emplear toda su fuerza, consciente de que, en el mejor de los casos, podría romperle algún hueso accidentalmente. Pero en vista de que Diego estaba decidido a cumplir con las órdenes de ese malnacido, no se vio con más opción que golpearle la cabeza y dejarlo inconsciente.

Mientras tanto, Brandon salió de su escondite y corrió desesperado hacia su hija hasta atraparla entre sus brazos, apretando los labios con fuerza aunque igualmente un torrente de lágrimas se hizo paso por su rostro. No podía creer que volviera a tenerla con él. Estaba tan agradecido de tenerla de vuelta que comenzó a besar su pelo una y otra vez.

—Está bien, no tenemos nada que perdonarte. Te queremos. Te quiero más que a nada, solo quiero que vuelvas a casa. Por favor, Tara. La familia Brooks sin ti no es una familia completa. Quédate con nosotros. 

Sus brazos por fin la hicieron sentir en casa después de aquel infierno, y terminó derrumbándose frente a él fruto del cúmulo de todos aquellos días.

— Lo siento. — Atinó a decir con dificultad, apretando las manos alrededor del cuerpo de su padre. — No quería irme de verdad. Soy idiota. perdóname, papá.

El telepático, al escucharla llorar de aquel modo, apretó a su hija con más fuerza, sintiendo que todo le temblaba por dentro. A pesar del reencuentro, la situación se le tornó más agria que dulce, culpabilizándose por no haber comprendido antes qué pasaba. Por no haberle hecho entender desde primer momento que todos y cada uno de los Brooks siempre la habían visto como una bendición, no como una amenaza. 

—No es tu culpa, no es culpa tuya. Nadie pensaría algo así jamás. —Se separó, agarrándola por los brazos mientras la miraba a los ojos—. Solo queremos que estés bien, eso es todo. Tú no eres responsable de nada de lo que ha pasado. No volveremos a dejarte sola, te lo prometo. Te ayudaremos entre todos a verlo. Te quiero. Te quiero muchísimo.

Last Day of Ficmas ~ family (from this list)

Set in season 7. Wc: 1287. Tagging @today-in-fic

Christmas in San Diego

It’s shockingly easy, albeit expensive, to get a plane ticket to San Diego on Christmas Eve. Scully left him a message on his machine last night saying she needs him out there and he was flooded with memories of a small red-headed girl with a shy smile and a life tragically cut short.

History is not repeating itself; she said it’s a case she stumbled upon that he’d be interested in but couldn’t say more since the line wasn’t secure. Intrigued from head to toe, Mulder called the airline and now here he is at 10 a.m. on Christmas Eve, flying out to San Diego.

He’s trying Scully’s cell again but no luck. He figures she must be working on the ominous case and leaves her a voice mail with his flight info before he pockets his phone to board the plane.

Without her phone call, he would have spent another Christmas at home, maybe trying to find a case himself. There’s always something to do. His mother doesn’t want to spend Christmas together, but her rejection is no longer an open wound, merely a scar that throbs from time to time.

Since he hasn’t been able to contact Scully at all, he doesn’t expect her to pick him up from the airport. But there she is. Dressed in casual clothes, she stands there with a beaming smile on her face and a small child in her arms. Mulder swallows hard, seeing her with a child once more on Christmas, and walks towards her on wobbly knees.

“Hi,” he says, his eyes darting back and forth between her and the shaggy-haired boy in her arms with his thumb between his lips.

“Hi Mulder, thank you for flying out here on such short notice. You probably don’t remember him, but this is Matthew, my nephew. He loves planes,” she explains, rubbing the child’s back. Little Matthew hides his face in her neck but keeps a curious eye on Mulder.

“He’s… so much bigger.”

Scully smiles down at the toddler. “He turns two in a couple of days. Don’t you, Matty?” The child giggles.

“So, um… that case you were talking about- you didn’t provide much information so I-“

“I’d rather not discuss it with Matthew here,” Scully says and Mulder nods. Bill hates him enough as it is. If he discusses gory x-files around his son, he might just punch him this time. Or worse. “Come on, we’re having brunch at my brother’s place.”

“Does he- does Bill know?” Mulder asks. He didn’t expect any of this. Not the small child in Scully’s arms that’s awakening feelings from deep inside that he buried there when their last attempt at IVF failed. Most of all, he didn’t expect to be roped into another Scully Christmas. He’s not here to ruin yet another Scully get-together.

“He knows, Mulder. He and Tara aren’t home anyway. They’re at a doctor’s appointment,” she explains. “Tara is pregnant again.” He watches her face closely for any indication that she’s hurting from the news. There’s nothing but contentment on her face so he forces himself to smile too. How come Bill and Tara are blessed with two miracles and they couldn’t make one happen?

“Baby,” Matthew says, offering Mulder a small plastic car. “Mommy baby.”

“You’re going to be a big brother,” Mulder says, playfully driving the small car over the boy’s arm, making him laugh. “You’ll always have someone to play with.” Emotions overwhelm him as Matthew gives him a toothy grin. He was only a little bit older than Scully’s nephew when his mother was expecting Samantha.

“Let’s get going before one of us becomes cranky.” Scully’s voice cuts through his melancholy reminiscing as if sensing his thoughts.

Bill and Tara’s house is decorated tastefully, and Mulder is convinced he doesn’t belong here, and that Scully should have dropped him off at his hotel. He hovers awkwardly in the hall as Scully undresses Matthew. As soon as he’s out of his shoes and his coat, he runs off, squealing.

“Should you – should we follow him?”

Before Scully can answer, Maggie Scully peeks around the corner and catches her energetic grandchild.

“There you are,” she says and the boy peppers her face with kisses, hanging from her neck. Mulder can’t help but watch the moment with a smile. At the airport, Matthew seemed shy, but now he understands it was just because of him.

“Did you have fun with Aunt Dana at the airport?”

“Plane fly!” Matthew exclaims.

“And one landed, I see. Hello, Fox. I’m glad you could make it after all.”

Make it after all? He stares at Mrs. Scully, frozen to the spot. What is she talking about? Scully grabs his hand and tows him past her mother.

“What did your mom mean by that?” Mulder asks once they’re all alone in the kitchen.

“She’s always happy to see you.” But Scully is avoiding his eyes and her cheeks are flushed. He knows what that means.

“Is there really a case here or-,” he trails off. Why would Scully leave him a message asking him to fly out to San Diego if there’s no case? “Scully?”

“I thought I could keep this up a while longer.” She sighs. “Fine, there is no case. I’m not as good at this as you are.”

“Good at what?”

“Tricking you into spending Christmas with me.”

“I- what?”

“Sit down,” she says. “Please.” He sits, his mouth agape. Scully stands close to him, wringing her hands. “Remember last year?” He nods. As if he could forget their stint in the haunted house on Christmas Eve. It was his idea after all.

“I expected you to come up with a case that would prevent me from coming here.”

“I knew you were looking forward to spending Christmas with your family. I wasn’t going to ruin that.” Again, he adds in his mind.

“You just forgot one thing.” She steps closer to him, right between his open legs so that he must look up at her. There’s a soft, yet uncertain smile on her face. “You’re my family too.” He’s speechless but that doesn’t seem to matter to her. She puts her hands on his shoulders.

“I had a whole year to think about it. I do want to be out there with you. I love doing what we do.” He nods, still unable to speak. “So I was waiting for you to say something every day, but you didn’t. I’m happy to be here. You’ve seen Matthew, he’s… he’s such a sweetheart and I don’t see my family often enough. But Mulder, I wanted you here, too.”

“You could have just asked,” he says, baffled that she did this, that she really and truly wants him here. He should be mad that she got him out here by lying to him, but all he feels is elation. His Scully, a trickster. His face cracks into a grin.

“What would you have said had I asked you to come to San Diego to spend Christmas at my brother Bill’s house?” She raises an eyebrow. They both know the answer to this. “I didn’t know how to ask you, Mulder. I’m sorry I lied to you, but I’m not sorry it worked.” Her expression is soft and full of pride because she pulled this off. No longer inert, he moves his hands to her hips and draws her closer. She comes easily and willingly.

“I’m going to save us some trouble,” he says. “And ask you right here, right now to spend next year’s Christmas with me. What do you say?”

“What do you think?” She cups his cheeks and presses a soft, promising kiss to his lips.
