"A Surprise for Niles" by Sarah Hudson
Part 1
"Niles, I have some great news." Daphne said as she ran in the door, "I just got back from the doctors and he just told me I'm pregnant. Isn't that great?!"
Niles looked at her both surprised and confused. "Yeah. That is great Daphne."
Nile ran up to her to congratulate her. "Daphne, I'll be right back. I have to go tell Dad and Frasier the great news!"
Niles ran out the door and as he closes the door he has a confused look on his face again.
Niles showed up at Frasier's apartment ringing the bell until somebody answered.
Frasier opens the door. "Niles, what are you doing?!"
"Frasier, Daphne is pregnant and I couldn't wait to tell you and Dad."
"Congratulations, but why didn't you just call?" Frasier asked confusingly.
"Because there is something that I have to tell you that I can't say over the phone."
"Niles, what is it?"
"I can't have children."
Frasier is in shock. "Really, I always thought you could!"
"No, why don't you think that I didn't have any children when I was married to Maris?"
"I always thought that the reason was because she couldn't have children or she didn't let you get close enough to her to make a family."
"You know what Frasier those could possibly be right but it's just that Maris blamed me for everything so I just assumed..."
"Niles, you shouldn't assume anything. Do you possibly think that Daphne would cheat on you?"
Martin walked in just as Frasier finishes his sentence. "Daphne is cheating on you?" He said as he looked at Niles. "I never expected this of her. Oh my God Daphne, cheating."
"Okay dad we get it, we don't know for sure that she is." Frasier told him.
"Well why would you even consider such a thing?" asked Martin.
"Well because Daphne is pregnant and I'm not 100% sure that I can have children." Niles answered.
"Oh well then, I guess that's a good reason." Martin said in shock.
Niles just looked at his father and Frasier and then left.
