Scully holds Mulder's hand all the way into Magnus' office like a lifeline. It's funny how she can't admit Mulder is the father anywhere but here. She still hasn't told Dana, or her mother. At least she has a few weeks before she mentions it to anyone else.
Mulder's face is almost unreadable and she wonders what he's thinking.
"Thank you for making time for my paranoia, doctor."
"It's not a problem at all. Every mother needs to put her mind at ease."
She smiles to the two and motions for them to take seats. "Now, how did all of this paranoia begin? That way I know what to look for beyond anything with defects."
"I was attacked by a basilisk," Scully begins, still holding Mulder's hand in her lap. She hasn't thought of herself as a mother, but Magnus's smile is reassuring. "The wounds were fairly deep. It took Doctor Whitcomb several stitches and she was concerned enough to prescribe a complex drug cocktail."
When she says it out loud, it doesn't make any sense that she's so afraid, but it still gnaws at the pit of her stomach.
