:D hes home. love it!

YAY! MULDER! YAY!

Great story! Please write more and it shouldn`t be to easy for Mulder to come back in their lives... after all it was HIS decision to stay away, no one forced him to stay away...

well they are making strides in the rihgt direction thats for sure

Nice chapter. Love the making french toast as a family. That was very nice. Loved the end. So romantic. Post more soon.

awe, cute moment at the end between mulder and scully. update soon :)

Mulder told Scully not to call him Fox years ago...so she doesn't. Mulder has, on occasion, used her first name...but more often than not uses "Scully". I suppose it could be argued we've seen too few intimate moments (once it was established they were having a physical relationship) to be entirely certain about what terms of reference they might use, but I still gag when I read stories where Scully mostly refers to Mulder as "Fox" and he in turn calls her "Dana". It just sounds wrong. That, of course, is my feeling on the subject. Others have, and are entitled to have, differing opinions.

On the subject of names, there was one paragraph that slowed down the flow of the story for me; unless they are going to be central to the plot, do your readers need to know the first and second names of Doggett and Reyes' four kids?

You may answer yes to that question. Could direct speech have served you by energizing this introduction scene? (Hee hee...I've just had a vision of a frazzled Monica and beleagued Doggett introducing (and re-introducing) their four hyperactive kids to an amused Mulder).

As for going forward with your story, it sounds like you're not ready to let go of these characters or this situation. Do you have some idea of what you would like to achieve? A happy ending? Resolution? A tragic ending? Your characters are still uneasy with each other. Would you like to get them to the point where they come to terms with each other and can move forward?

cant wait to read more. update soon :)

I agree I dont think she would call him FOx now he has called her Dana so thats fine with me I love how things are going to take time and he needs to see what a father needs to do all over again and be there for his kids and her

Very nice. I definitely cannot see her calling him Fox but him calling her Dana or Scully either one is fine with me. I have heard both. Fox, definitely not. As for an ending, not a writer so not good with that. I would like it to end happily though. I have always heard Doggett called Doggett, not John. Great chapter and looking forward to more. Post more soon.

Dana's going to be mad..." he said, almost in a sing-song voice.

"She knows that I did what I had to do."

"You've got a lot to make up for. Let's get out of here."

MUlder can win her over that I am sure of

Great chapter. Insights and reflections are nice. Looking forward to more. Post more soon.

I mentioned understated in my previous review. I can't over emphasize how much I like understatement...for the X-Files, at least. So much on the show was either only hinted at or summed up in a pointed glance, and any display of raw emotion might be enough to earn you five shots straight away in an old 90s drinking game. Anyway...the approach you've taken makes these characters believable to me.

It can be nerve wracking posting a story when you're not sure how it will be received; I hope your faith in your own story was rewarded.

Skinner was waiting for them, and he and Doggett flanked Mulder on either side, as if leading him to a prison cell. Scully walked behind them at a slight distance, watching the way Mulder walked. He had a very telling gait, one that couldn't be imitated. She smiled as it was confirmed once again that she wasn't being duped.

Mulder's home.

it is him right

Great chapter. Loved all the stuff Mulder went thru to tell Scully he was him. John and Monica too. Whee this will be fun. Post more soon.
