Even if, hypothetically, Mulder can’t go back to working as usual for the man the FBI you could have the glorious concept of Fox Mulder: stay at home dad and occasional case consultant. Fox Mulder showing up at a crime scene wearing a BabyBjorn and a fanny pack ready to spew his batshit theories. Fox Mulder showing up in the basement office wearing a Bigfoot t-shirt and carrying a baby car seat to take Scully to lunch. Fox Mulder whose dad(s) were so profoundly bad at being dads that he decides he is gonna be so good at it and that starts with exposing William to Star Trek and Unsolved Mysteries in infancy.

I love you.

Why would each of them turn around, were they Orpheus? Giles would do it because he needed to know for sure. 📖

Angel because he felt compelled to. 🧛‍♂️

Xander because he simply forgot himself. 🤦

Oz because he wanted to protect her. 🐺

At some point between the end of Season 9 and right then, they would have talked about having another kid. There were good reasons not to: The trauma of losing William, Mulder being a wanted man, the expected alien apocalypse, Scully’s age, etc. Or maybe they tried post-IWTB and it just didn’t happen. But whatever the case, it doesn’t make sense for the conversation to sound like having more children is a brand new idea for them both.

Okay: new year, new poll.
