Daphne sat on the edge of the bed, cradling David to her chest.

"It's all right, Sweetheart. Mommy loves you. Please don't ever forget that."

"Niles loves you too."

She looked up; her chest tightening when she saw her husband smiling at her from the doorway.

"Go away, Niles."

He sighed deeply and walked into the room, sitting down beside her. "I deserve that. But Daphne-."

"How could you say those horrible things to me, Niles? After I worked so hard to make you happy? I-I know I'm a terrible cook and I just wanted-."

"No Daphne. I'm a terrible husband. I-I can't believe I said those things to you. It was truly a wonderful meal and it never occurred to me to-."

She turned away and began to sob.

"Oh my angel. I'm so sorry. Please don't..."

When she continued to cry, he kissed her cheek and rose from the bed.

"I was a complete jackass and I don't blame you for being angry. So I guess I'll go on home. I hope you and David will come home too... when you're ready. But in the meantime, Dad, Frasier and Ronee will take good care of you. I'm... so sorry. I love you, my angel; more than you'll ever know."

She looked up through tear filled eyes. "Niles wait-."
But he was already walking out the door.

When David began to cry, she kissed him and rocked him back and forth, crying softly against his soft skin.

"I'm so sorry, my darling. I don't think your Daddy will ever forgive me. I just..."

"Daphne..."

"Oh Ronee... I'm so confused!"

Ronee smiled and sat down next to Daphne, holding her while she cried.

"It's okay... Shh... Everything will be all right. And you're more than welcome to stay here."

"Thank you, Ronee."

"Of course. You're like a daughter to me... Oh God... you are my daughter, aren't you? Well, until Niles comes to his senses-."

Daphne raised her head. "Where is he?"

"What?"

"Niles... where is he?"

"Well, he left, but-."

Daphne rose from the bed. "I have to see him. Will you take David?"

"Yeah, of course, but."

Daphne handed David to Ronee and ran into the living room.

"Niles?"

"He's gone, Daphne." Martin said.

"No..."

I have to find him."

"Daphne don't..."

"Let her go, Marty." Ronee said. "He couldn't have gone far."

"Daphne, wait..."

But she rushed past Frasier and ran out of the house, frantically looking up and down the quiet street.

Finally she spotted his silver BMW slowly driving away from the house in the distance.

A sudden rush of adrenaline came over her and she began to run down the sidewalk.

"Niles!"

When the car kept going, she ran faster, ignoring the need to catch her breath.

"NILES!"

The car came to a screeching halt at the end of the street and before she realized what was happening, he was running toward her.

"Daphne!"

Within seconds they were in each other's arms. She hugged him fiercely, crying into his chest while he trailed kisses across her cheeks, her neck and finally her mouth, kissing her over and over again. And when they spoke, they were both breathless.

"Oh Niles..."

"I'm so sorry, my angel... I'm so..."

"And I'm sorry too. I-I just wanted to make you happy."

He kissed her deeply, and brushed the tears from her cheeks.

"You have made me happy. Ever since I first laid eyes on you. Please don't blame yourself. I was horrible, Daphne. It was the best meal I've ever eaten and even more so now that I know you went to all that trouble for me. But Daphne I'd give anything to-."

She silenced him with a kiss. "Shhh... Don't talk. Just hold me."

"I'll gladly hold you. For the rest of my life." He said bringing her closer to him.
