"Oh." Dr. Brown replied, trying to think of something to say.
There was an awkward silence.
"Well, I better be going. Send Sam over when he's up. " Nina smiled, breaking the silence, "Nice to see you, Delia."
Delia nodded, "Bye."
As Nina left she smirked at Dr. Brown and mouthed, Good luck. He smiled as she left.
"Delia, let me explain – " Dr. Brown started.
His daughter looked at him for a moment, and then ran to the stairs.
"No, Delia, really, that's not necessary – "
"EPHRAM!!!!" Delia shouted up the stairs, "I need you!!"
Dr. Brown winced as she yelled, and sincerely hoped that by some miracle his son wouldn't hear Delia calling. Just when he thought that his miracle was being granted, Ephram appeared at the top of the stairs.
"What?" he mumbled, rubbing his face.
Delia motioned for him to come downstairs. He sighed, and slowly made his way down.
"What's so important?" Ephram asked a little more awake and a bit worried.
"I just found Dad and Nina in the kitchen." Delia stated, looking at her older brother expectantly.
"Doing wh –" Ephram didn't finish his sentence as his eyes widened and a grin appeared.
"So, I was wrong, you and Nina, eh Dad?" Ephram grinned.
"Now wait a second," Dr. Brown began, then stopped, "What do you mean, you were wrong?"
Ephram shrugged, "I thought there was nothing going on between you two."
"There isn't!" Dr. Brown answered quickly and instinctively.
"Excuse me, Dad?" Delia smiled, "That wasn't nothing."
Dr. Brown closed his eyes and sighed.
"How much did you see?" he asked quietly.
"Enough." Delia said simply, "But you know, I love Nina, and I love Sam…so I approve."
She looked at Ephram, waiting.
"I can't say I knew this was coming Dad…but if you really want this, you always supported Amy and I; so I approve too." Ephram agreed.
Dr. Brown opened his eyes, "Well, I feel like I'm 18 again, asking my parents for permission to go out with someone."
Delia gave him a look and Ephram moaned.
"It's too early for this, Dad. I'm going back to bed…I'll see you in a couple hours." he said, starting up the stairs. He turned around and gave one last grin, "Oh, and way to go, Dad."
Dr. Brown chuckled, "Thanks."
Ephram sleepily waved a reply and went back upstairs.
"You sure you're okay with this, Delia?" Dr. Brown asked his daughter.
"Oh yeah," Delia nodded, "Just, one thing."
"Anything." her father replied.
"When you two get married, can I be the maid of honour?" she asked, grinning.
Dr. Brown laughed and put his arm around his daughter, "Funny, very funny."
Delia mocked innocence, "I'm serious!"
Dr. Brown shook his head, "Let's go have some breakfast."
"Fine, fine…." Delia held up her hand in surrender, "Bridesmaid?"
And for the first time ever, Dr. Brown had company with him for Saturday morning breakfast.
