"Torrenting anarchist manifestos and cruising pornography subreddits," he teases, poking the slight curve of her belly. "The usual stuff. But I can probably make time for foot rubs."
And a truly insane amount of research on the minutiae of pregnancy and childbirth. There's a fake Facebook profile out there of a woman named Samantha Luder, with a stock-photography photo to identify herself and a due date that happens to match Scully's; Mulder's been using it to lurk in groups for first-time mothers, having discovered that the social media market for new (well, new-with-an-asterisk) dads is comparatively lacking.
Hell, Scully'd probably get a kick out of it. Maybe he'll show her later. For now, he gives her a more serious answer, fishing his phone out of a pocket and opening the app in question. When he hands it over to her, everything's organized into little boards with names like DAD STUFF, NURSERY, TIPS, FUN FACTS and also, maybe inevitably, UFO MEMES. "Just trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing."
