But it's been 14 years since we last saw our favorite FBI agents on TV, so now is a good a time as ever to remind ourselves where we left off.

There was no definitive answer on how the baby was conceived but most likely it was through Mulder and Scully's consummation; however in one episode they said the chip in her neck triggered the pregnancy.
