He reached into pull out the bags when her dad stopped him. "I got it from here son. You got an injured hand, rest." "Ok thank you sir." Mulder said stepping back. "Didn't hurt much." CJ teased "Well it didn't, I didn't think it was broken, just sprained." "You left a dent in the wall Tiger." CJ said gently, linking her fingers with the ones in the cast as they headed to the airport. "Finally they're gone." Mulder said with a smile as they headed back to the car. "Yes! Now to get you all cuted up." "Cuted? Is that a word?" "It is now." Mulder smiled, handing her the keys to the Jag, opening her door for her. "Where to?" "Well, since you're in a cast, you need a manicure, then a haircut for you, then shopping for you. You need some new sweaters and I saw these sneakers that would . . ." "It's almost August CJ." "The best time to stock up on sweaters, they're like extra cheap. Then get you some new shirts and new Speedo or two to swim in, maybe another red one, then I'm getting you a present." "What kind of . . ." "A surprise." "Ok what ever." CJ ruffled his hair and smiled at him. "Is it a good one?" He said putting his hand on her thigh, rubbing in circles gently. "Yeah a good one, stop or I'm going to crash this thing." He moved his hand slowly from her leg to cover her hand on the gearshift. "GOD, you have a one track mind!" "Pull over and I'll show you how one track it is." "Oh I love it when you talk dirty, but you're just going to have to wait." That Night Mulder came in the door holding a small bundle in his hands. "When you said surprise I thought accepting my proposal or something, not a dog." "A Lhasa apso Mulder." "Whatever." "It's a 400 dollar difference." CJ teased as she closed the door. "OOOHHHHHH look at the baby!" Skyler cooed at the puppy. "He's six months old Sky." "Neutered?" "Freshly." CJ said quickly "OH my! Took your man hood too! Whatcha naming him Tiger?" "Well I was thinking Tiger." Mulder said, smiling at the dog, which nuzzled into him with a soft growl. "Or Fox Jr." "NO!" Skyler and Mulder said at the same time. "Well, we'll have to call him Tiger JR or something cause your daddy's Tiger." Skyler said bringing in more bags, "Man she spoiled you today, maybe I should break my hand." "Only works for momma's Tiger cause he deserves it. So we decided on Tiger as his name?" CJ asked Mulder as she closed the door. "Yeah, we need to get some rubber bands though so we can get some of this hair out of his eyes, how can he see!" Mulder relaxed into the tub and sighed heavily, opening his eyes when he felt the water rise. He stared into CJ's green eyes and smiled "Hey hon." "Fox." She purred "Yeah baby?" "Nothing getting used to saying it." Mulder chuckled slightly "I love how your laugh rumbles in your chest." He smiled and held her close to him. She turned in his arms and settled against his chest. "Mulder, what would you want our first child to be, girl or boy?" "Girl, definitely a girl we'd name her either Jade, Jacari, Brennan, or Kalen." "Really?" "Depends on their eye color." "OH REALLY?" "Dark blue Kalen, Hazel Brennan, green Jade, Brown Jacari." "You have it all figured out, what if we had a boy?" "Shae, Shane, Jayson, or Zane Jay." "Zane Jay?" "Something me and Sky agreed on. When we had kids, I'd name a boy Zane Jay and he'd name his Foxy Jay." CJ snort laughed. "Zane Jay is cute though, still depends on eyes?" "Hair." CJ sighed. "Why all the baby questions something I need to know?" Mulder asked fidgeting nervously. "No I'm on Depo and I get my shot religiously every 3 months, on time down to the minute. I'm too screwed up to be somebody's mom." "That's why we got a dog." "Yes! If you do well with Tiger, I may think about a child." "Or at least another dog. No way I'd think of having a kid if we're not married." "Ah, but we have sex before were married." "Hey that's something totally different." "No it's not. Same thing Foxy baby." "Hmmm I like that." "Foxy baby." "RROOWWWWLLL." CJ laughed, leaning into him as he picked up his washcloth and moving it over her skin gently. "I couldn't imagine dating someone like you and not sleeping with you." "Why?" His hands replaced the cloth as they slowly seduced her. "God, you had to ask. My body responds to you like we were made for each other. I hear your voice and I'm hard. When you touch me, I have to will myself not to come." She felt his growing need, stir under her as his hands moved to her waist. "Being inside you is like magic, I can't think or speak . . ." He moved to enter her and she stood up. He opened his eyes and looked at her curiously. She threw him a mysterious smile and headed out of the bathroom with a giggle. He smiled, getting out of the tub and following her quickly. Next morning Mulder curled into CJ more, cherishing the feel of her skin next to his. He looked at the clock on the wall and sighed "Time to walk Tiger." He murmured, quirking an eyebrow when the dog in question jumped on the bed laying on Mulder's chest. "Um Tiger . . ." "I already walked him, thought you'd be tired after last nights activities." Skyler said smiling at them. Mulder rolled his eyes and snuggled into his pillow as CJ got up. He gently ruffled Tigers fur making the dog purr. "Where you off to baby?" "Teacher work day. I'll be back about 1." "K." CJ went into the bathroom shutting the door as Skyler climbed into bed with Mulder. "Hey." "Hey Sky." Mulder said with a smile. Skyler cuddled into him, shutting his eyes a few moments and sighing. "You know, you have a nice butt." He said with a smile "Skyler?" "What?" "Get out of my bed." "DAMN!" "CJ would throttle you if you tried." Tiger rolled off Mulder's chest and curled up into CJ's vacant space. "Hey Tiger." The dog locked eyes with him and smiled as he snuggled into Mulder's side. "How's daddy's big boy? I'm going to take you to the club with me this afternoon, you'll love it." "Showing him his empire?" CJ teased. "Of course, coming tonight??" "Yeah." "Great, I'll get to see your back off glance in action."
