"A Surprise for Niles" by Sarah Hudson
Part 2
Niles ran in the door of the Montana and sat on the couch to think.
Daphne came running down from upstairs. "Niles, is everything alright? How did they take the news about the pregnancy?"
Niles looked into her eyes and he just couldn't tell her the truth. "Yeah, everything's okay. They loved the news."
"Good, I'm glad." Daphne said as she walked into the kitchen.
Daphne calls from the kitchen. "Niles, do you want anything?"
"No thanks, I'm not really in the mood for anything."
"Oh really, why not?"
"Oh I'm just so excited about us having a baby." Why couldn't I tell her the truth. It's not that hard just say, Daphne I'm not 100% sure that I can have children so I don't know if the child is mine. There we go. I'm going to say it. "Daphne, can you come here for a moment?"
Daphne comes out of the kitchen. "Yes darling, what is it?"
"I love you."
"Oh, well, I love you too." Why couldn't I tell her. She looked so beautiful, her hair, her skin and her beautiful voice. How could I tell such a beautiful creature the truth? What am I saying, she deserves to know the truth. "Will you come here again."
"Yeah Niles, what is it?"
"I have something I want to tell you and you might want to sit down." Okay here I go all I have to do is tell her. It's not that hard. "Daphne, Umm...this is hard for me to tell you but..."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Well I'm not sure that that child could possibly be mine."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Umm...I don't know if I'm able to have children."
"What are you trying to say? You think that I cheated on you?"
"No, no that's not what I'm saying...well maybe a little but..."
"But what?"
"Daphne, I love you with all my heart and soul and we're going to figure this out. Are you with me?"
"Yes, I'm with you."
