The next morning, Daphne woke her husband with a kiss. "Well, you're certainly in a good mood," Niles said, smiling as the kiss ended.
"Well, today's me day to go dress-shopping with Roz. I hope we can find something. I'm not sure if they even make gowns for women who've had a baby!" She laughed nervously.
"My love, no matter what you wear, you'll be beautiful. I can hardly wait to see you standing at the end of the aisle. The first time I got to marry you, you weren't even wearing a dress at all, and you had your hair in a ponytail. Even so, I thought you were an angel."
Daphne sighed. "I'll never understand what you see in me, or what I've ever done to deserve you."
"You saved me from a life of loneliness and misery, that's what."
By this time, Daphne was dressed. She wore a simple shirt and a pair of jeans. No need to wear anything fancy for this. "Well, I'm going to say goodbye to David and tell him to be good for his daddy. I'll try not to take all day!"
"Don't worry about us. David and I will be fine. You just concentrate on finding a dress. I'm sure no matter what you pick, it will be perfect."
An hour later, Niles sighed. David sat on his lap, happily chewing on his fingers. The baby was beginning to get teeth, and this was a habit he'd picked up as a result. Niles leaned down to kiss his son's soft blond hair. "I love your mother so much. I know you'll hear the story so many times, you'll think we're making it up, but I really did love her from the first time I saw her. Your grandfather and your uncle both told me to stop wasting my time, but I just couldn't. I knew we were supposed to be together. I'm so glad now that I never listened to their advice. Because now, here we are, about to renew our vows. I know you're too young to understand or remember, but we want you to be there anyway. Maybe when you're older and we show you the pictures, you'll understand how much we love each other."
David looked up at his father, confused. The baby clearly had no idea what Niles was talking about. "I know that this is all going over your head, but someday, I hope you find a woman as wonderful as your mommy. If you do, never, ever let her go." Niles kissed his son's cheek, hoping somehow, the baby would understand.
