   Summary

   "Her continued and enthusiastic joy is important to the fantasy, it’s almost the whole point, and it’s only a happy accident that the premise turns him on as much as it does. And some of the fantasy isn’t even sexual; in his mind he’s a capable father, never letting their kid out of his sight. "

   Mulder grapples with fantasy, fatherhood, and that 'natural imperative to procreate.'
