"Niles! Where's my ice cream!"

C.C was now eight months pregnant and bigger than Niles could ever remember she had been. He still found her the most beautiful creature he had ever seen and he reminded her of that every day.

"It's on the coffee table in front of you! Can't you see it?" Niles was in the kitchen trying to prepare dinner for him and his wife along with their guests. He had been in the kitchen a lot lately. What with trying to satisfy her every craving.

"No. I can't." she started to get teary eyed and Niles could hear the strain her voice. He lowered the burner and walked into the kitchen to see his wife crying on the couch. "Oh love, don't cry." He grabbed the bowl of ice cream off the table and handed it to her before he sat down in front of her on the table. "What's wrong my angel?"

C.C slowly took the ice cream from her before a tear fell into he bowl. "Niles, I'm fat. Why do you still love me?"

Niles wasn't sure if this was her hormones talking or not but he took her hand in his as she let her bowl drop to her round stomach and he looked deep into her eyes, making it hard for C.C to look away. "C.C you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Every time I wake up in the morning I can't get over how amazingly lucky I am to have you in my life. That you're bearing my child and that a woman with such power, just beauty and such strength would marry a butler like me."

C.C had that sick way of feeling better when people put themselves down in front of her. But with Niles it was different. She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him chastely before she let her forehead rest with his. "Niles, how did I get so lucky to have you?"

"I guess God knew you needed help," he beamed, letting his boyish grin slip out. Pulling back, C.C playfully smacked his arm. "Hey," he chuckled. "I only meant that you needed someone to love you and for some strange reason God picked me." C.C let out a soft laugh as she wiped her tears away. "But I've never been happier, C.C. Never forget how happy you have made me." He slowly got up from the table before he kissed her head. "Now go wash up, love. Fran and Max will be here any minute."

"Niles..." she softly called.

He slowly stopped from walking and turned around to face her. "Yes, my love?"

"You better now forget how happy you've made me."

"Ahh! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"

C.C screamed so loud the entire medical center could hear her along with the rest of the county.

"Come on, love. You can do it." Niles held her hand tightly. Though not as tightly as C.C was holding his.

"Ah! I think I heard something break inside me," CC cried.

"That was my thumb," Niles whined.

C.C glared at him before another need for push arose. "Ahh!"

"All right, we see the head, C.C. Give me one big push.

"Ughh! You are so lucky I'm supposed to be in this much pain or you'd be sued by now!"

Niles looked over at the shocked doctor. "She'd eat you," he said plainly.

After finding her train of thought again the doctor looked back at C.C. "Come on, another push and we'll have the shoulders.

"Oh please don't them be as wide as hers," Niles prayed as he turned his head away from C.C When he looked back at her, he saw she looked like she was going to kill him.

"They're shoulder pads, you dimwit!" She continued to push in anger.

"That's what you say."

In an unspoken revenge, C.C squeezed Niles' hand so tightly his thumb was touching the back of his hand. "Ahh! C.C!"

"Ahh!" As they both screamed from pain, the nurse caught the baby as it slipped out into her arms.

C.C quickly let go of his hand and they both breathed deeply. "Oh my God," Niles breathed out with a bright smile on his face. "Look, C.C."

He placed his hand over hers and helped her sit up to see the baby the nurse was holding so gently. It's a girl. Dad, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?"

Niles smiled softly before he took the scissors and cut where was needed. Niles couldn't stop smiling as he watched the nurse the nurse wrap their new daughter in a pink blanket before handing her to C.C.

"She's beautiful," C.C felt a tear roll down her cheek as she looked up at Niles. "What should we name her?"

"Whatever you want, my love."

"I like Audrey," she whispered, hoping not to wake the sleeping newborn.

"I like Claire," he smiled before he leaned down and kissed C.C's forehead. "Audrey Claire?"

C.C smiled with a nod as she looked down at their daughter. "Audrey Claire Brightmore."

"Should we let everyone come in?" Niles asked as his eyes never felt Audrey's.

"Is Sylvia out there?"

"I think so." He looked up at C.C and knew her intentions.

"Let's wait a bit then."

Niles chuckled before he kissed C.C's lips fully. "Thank you for making me a daddy."

"And thank you for making me a mommy."
