"A Surprise for Niles" by Sarah Hudson
Part 4
There was silence for a short moment. "Okay, your test results Niles is, yes you can have children. And Daphne as for you..." There was another moment of silence while they waited patiently for the results.
"You're going to be happy to hear that is your husband's child." They were so excited to hear the great news.
"Thank you Dr. Shoke for the great news." Niles said in relief. Niles hung up the phone and sat down with Daphne. "Now Daphne, when I'm out of town next time never listen to what Roz says. If you feel lonely just call me or you could go over and see Dad and Frasier. Just don't do this to me again. It was dreadful waiting to find out if that child was mine. Now I am so happy that it is."
Daphne starts tearing up. "I am so sorry Niles. I will never do that to you again. I don't know what I was thinking."
"It's okay Daphne. Why don't we go tell Dad and Frasier about the great news and then we'll go out and celebrate. How about it?"
Daphne agreed and they left to go over to Frasier's.
They were so excited, when they got there they didn't even bother ringing the bell they just went it.
As usual Martin was just sitting there watching TV with Eddie beside him.
"Oh, hey guys we weren't expecting you. Frasier isn't here right now. He's at some fru fru knick knack store to get more junk for his apartment."
"Okay, we'll just wait for him because we got some great news." Daphne said as she sat on the couch.
"Oh, Niles you finally found out that Daphne wasn't cheating on you."
"Dad!" Niles shouted.
"What?! How did he find out?"
"What!, you really did cheat on him. I never expected this of you."
"I DIDN'T CHEAT ON HIM! Well there was and incident... but OH LEAVE ME ALONE!" She stormed off into her old bedroom.
"Jees, what got her?" Martin wondered
"What do you think? You started it."
"Well I'm sorry Niles but I didn't know she was going to get mad about it."
"Well what did you think she was going to get...happy?!"
Daphne comes out of the bedroom. "Could you two please quit yelling. I'm sorry I got so upset."
"That's okay Daphne." Martin and Niles said in unison.
Frasier came walking in the door. "Look who I ran into in the elevator."
"Hey Roz, you came just in time to hear our good news." Daphne said as she walked into the living room.
"Oh yeah, what is it?"
"You tell her sweetheart." Niles said as he looked lovingly at Daphne.
"Oh no, you tell her, darling."
"Oh well please somebody tell already." Roz said impatiently.
"Okay, I'm pregnant."
"Congratulations, I'm so happy for you both." Roz said excitedly.
"And..." Frasier asked.
"And Niles is the father."
"Double congratulations. This calls for some sherry."
"Wait, why wouldn't Niles be the father?" Roz wondered.
"Well you know that party that you had invited me to Roz. Well I had a little too much to drink and I was talking to some nice guy and that's the last thing I remember. I think his name was John or Ron."
"Oh Ron, yeah he said that you had slapped him in the face because you said something like no man can be better and more handsome that your husband and then slapped him in the face."
"Oh Daphne I've never been more proud of you. Even if you were drunk."
"Thanks Niles. I'm proud of you too." Daphne moved in for a kiss.
"I think that these two want to be alone." Frasier said.
"Oh no, we're going to invite you all out to dinner." Niles told them.
"Okay let's all get ready and lets go to eat." Agreed Frasier.
