It was the night of the party, and as usual, once Niles came home he proceeded to change into his pajamas.
"You can't do that darling!" Daphne protested as she cradled David.
"Why not? I've had a long day and all I want to do is to crawl into bed, grab a good book and hopefully drift off into a peaceful slumber."
"It's not even seven yet!"
"I'm sorry Daphne. I'm just really exhausted. Perhaps you want to sleep in another room. I fear I may be coming down with something."
"The only thing you're coming down with is a case of bloody self pity. Now I want you dressed in ten minutes. Besides, we're having company."
"Who?"
She thought quickly. "Martin and Ronee."
"Give them my best, will you? I'm afraid I'm just not up for company tonight.:
Now she was furious. She threw his clothes at him while still clinging tight to baby David. "The hell you're not! You will get dressed and if you're not out in ten minutes I will come dress you meself. I've dressed your father's bum often enough, I think I can take you on, all ninety pounds of you!"
Niles was shocked. Daphne had never spoken to him this way before. Reluctantly he obliged and when he came out he was shocked to find a crowd of people, all his friends, his father and Ronee and even Roz.
He began to hyperventilate. "Daphne, what's going on?"
"We're having a party you silly goose!"
"I'm sorry everyone. There's been some mistake. I'm unable to be of any company tonight, so if you'll excuse me.."
"Not so fast Niles Crane."
Everyone turned to see the most unexpected visitor of them all at the door, waiting to give Niles a piece of their mind.
