Beyond Awkward
"We can't take the baby, we can't do that to her." Niles sighs, he and Jasmine had gone into their room to talk privately, under the light of a three wick candle.
"I already started thinking about her as our baby." Tears run down Jasmine's face.
Niles pulls her towards him, kissing the top of her head. "I know. But?"
"I know, this is her baby, and if she wants to keep her, she should." Jasmine looks up at him, "It's just a disappointment I guess..."
"We still have plan B."
"Plan B?"
"Adopt from Korea. That way we know we are definitely getting the baby."
"I love you." Jasmine kisses Niles, "Let's go talk to Roz." The lights go back on, as they walked to the guest room.
"Of course, the lights had to go back on after she's done giving birth." Niles says sarcastically.
"Jasmine?" Roz looks at her and then looks down, "I'm so sorry."
"We aren't mad, just a bit disappointed." Jasmine tries to smile.
"So, what's her name?" Niles asks.
"Alice May Doyle." Roz yawns.
"I think we should leave you, let you get some rest. Sleep well, we'll all be downstairs." Jasmine offers.
"I want to talk to Roz for a bit first." Frasier asks. Everyone else leaves and Frasier closes the door behind them.
"Am I a terrible person, Frasier?" Roz asks.
"Why would you think that."
"I told them they could have the baby, I got their hopes up..."
"What happened?"
"I say her beautiful face. And I knew I couldn't let her go, that she was mine."
"That is not only not terrible, it is also quite beautiful." Frasier assures her.
