Summary
CW for discussion of pregnancy, cancer, IVF, infertility, and the general barbarism of OBGYN procedures.
This is a one-shot IVF story set sometime in seasons 5-7. Basically, it's Scully on bedrest after their first IVF attempt. I head-canon that they were probably trying for William for quite some time.
Sort of canon-compliant except in my version of events a) Emily never happened, b) Mulder told Scully about her eggs the second he found them, and c) Fox Mulder is that baby's dad.
I've never written a fanfic before, so I hope you all enjoy! :)
EDIT: This is now an ongoing fic of IVF scenes. At some point I will mark complete.

Summary
"How long has he been thinking about this, she wonders. What exactly is he thinking? Her mind races, trying to reconcile this Mulder whose deepest desires are spilled out here in ink on worn and crinkled brochures with the one she’s spent nearly every day with these past several months.
She’d never have guessed…
After the events of Amor Fati, Mulder isn't quite ready to give up on a miracle. It just might take a little extra work to get there.

Summary
Two more tears fell from her eyes. “I’ve been through hell, and yet this is the worst.”
It wasn’t the careful making of a baby most couples imagined. Mulder knew it was selfish for him to think about it. Did she imagine him or someone else, someone she knew, or some stranger? He didn’t know what to think about any of this. He hadn’t for weeks, not when she first asked him when he had to donate his sperm at the clinic, or even during the transfer. There was something strange and delicate between them. A breath could shatter it.
He knew he loved her more than anything and would do anything to give her what she wanted.

Summary
While investigating a young woman's claim of alien abduction, Mulder and Scully are led on a cross-country chase of intrigue and murder. As they search for answers, Scully's own abduction memories resurface.
Mulder, I can no longer tolerate this thing between us, despite my trust in your honorable motives. I can not allow my past to remain an incomplete picture. Regardless of my fear, I believe I'm strong enough to hear the truth -- especially if you are nearby to lend me your strength should I need it. I do not blame you for your long silence. I'm certain you would have answered my questions if I had only asked. You know me so well. You have understood that, until now, I was unprepared to hear your words. But today, at last, I am ready and must ask: What evidence did you find? What happened to me so many years ago when I was taken from you and from myself? What is it that you know?

Summary
One of my pet peeves with The X Files is how they take huge liberties with infertility and that can create myth around a topic that affects about 1 in 5 women. Out there in the real world, many women - and men - can be easily triggered about misinformation. This summary might be helpful for any writers who want to correct the IVF myth arc in a sensitive way but didn’t know how to ask. It's not a critique of any works; if anything it's about the show. If it helps you with your writing, I’d love to know.

Summary
“How are you feeling, now that you've heard my voice?” he asks lowly and can't help it to sound at least a bit sultry. And then a gentle noise that kind of sounds as if she's stretching and thus, moaning, reaches his ears. He swallows. “Scully?”
“Better.”
