Chapter Three
~ Isn't She Great ~
~Scene one~: Café Nervosa, Niles is sitting just staring off into space when Frasier arrives.
Frasier: Hey Niles (He doesn't respond) Niles? (Smacks him on the head) Niles snap out of it!!!
Niles: (rubbing his head) Why did you have to go and do that for?
Frasier: I called you three times and you didn't respond.
Niles: I just have a lot on my mind.
Frasier: Well are you going to tell me or do I have to guess?
Niles: Frasier I rather not talk about it.
Frasier: This wouldn't have to do with Daphne?
Niles: How did you guess?
Frasier: Niles when it comes to you, it always has to do with Daphne.
Niles: I just feel awful.
Frasier: Why?
Niles: I raised my voice at her.
(Roz walks in)
Roz: Hey guys, is this seat taken?
Niles: Oh hi Roz.
Frasier: Explain yourself, how can you raise your voice at your pregnant wife.
Roz: Knock it off Frasier, you used to yell at me all the time when I was pregnant with Alice.
Frasier: Well you're not my wife.
Roz: Niles, I'm shocked at you!
Niles: Daphne has gotten into her head that I'm having an affair or am about to have an affair and get this it's suppose to be with Maris.
Frasier: Maris? Where is she getting this from?
Niles: One of her psychic visions.
Frasier: Oh not that again. What did you say to her?
Niles: What do you think I said I told her that it wasn't possible. The worst part is that she won't stop crying and there is nothing I can do to console her.
Roz: Well yelling at her is a good start. Look Niles, Daphne is going through some emotional times right now. Her whole life is changing dramatically.
Niles: Well mine too, we're having this baby together.
Roz: Yeah, but your not the one carrying it. I'll tell you it's not easy being pregnant. Her body is constantly changing; she may not feel attractive or sexy. What you need is bring some romance back into your lives.
Frasier: I know buy her some flowers.
Roz: (to Frasier) you really are clueless aren't you?
Niles: What should I do?
Roz: Do stuff that will make her feel attractive again. I don't know, take her shopping or have her go to an all day beauty spa.
Niles: But we were just shopping this past weekend.
Roz: Yes but what did you buy?
Niles: Let see we got some baby clothes, some baby blankets, one of those diaper genies oh and we found the cutest teddy bear.
Roz: How about for Daphne?
Niles: (Thinks) We brought (thinks again) hum.
Roz: Come on Niles, what did you get for Mama?
Niles: I get your point.
Roz: So what are you going to do about it?
Niles: I know, I'll surprise her by rearranging my schedule tomorrow and I'll take her shopping, then out to a romantic dinner and maybe dancing afterwards.
Roz: Niles, I think dancing is a little too much for Daphne right now. How about a nice romantic carriage ride along the park?
Niles: Roz you're brilliant! Oh I wonder if we're going to have a full moon tomorrow.
Roz: If you play your cards right you will.
~Scene two~: Montana, The next morning: Niles and Daphne are having breaking together.
Daphne: Niles should you be getting off to the office?
Niles: Actually, I have a surprise for you. I rearranged my schedule so I can spend the whole day with you.
Daphne: You're not doing this out of guilt are you?
Niles: No, I'm doing it out of love. I want to show you how special you are to me so I'm taking you shopping and then we have reservations at Henri's for dinner and if you're up to it a romantic carriage ride. How's that sound to you?
Daphne: (starts crying) Oh Niles that sounds lovely.
Niles: But Daphne you got to promise me no more crying.
Daphne: (cries harder) I'll try Niles. (She hugs him)
~Scene three ~ Niemann Marcus
Daphne: Isn't this disgusting that they have the maternity section right next to the petite section. (She picks up a petite dress) Look at this, it would take three of these dresses to cover me.
Niles: (Takes the dress away from her and places it back) Daphne, we came here to cheer you up, not depress you. Besides, you're having a baby and in a few months you'll be as svelte as you ever been.
Daphne: And if I don't lose the weight. Will you still love me?
Niles: Of course, and there be more of you to love.
Daphne: Niles!
Niles: I'm sorry, here let's pick out a nice dress for you.
Daphne: (Picks out a very conservative dress) How's this one?
Niles: No, (He picks out a sexy red dress) How's this one?
Daphne: Niles that dress is inappropriate.
Niles: Why, you've worn stuff like this before.
Daphne: Yes, when I wasn't pregnant, now if I wear that it's indecent. I'm going to be a mother for gosh sakes. I can't go around wearing that anymore.
Niles: Just because you're becoming a mother doesn't mean that you stop being a woman. A very sexy, attractive woman at that.
Daphne: (Chuckles) All right I'll try it on.
(They both walk over to the dressing room, however when Daphne tries on the dress it doesn't fit.)
Daphne: Niles, can you get this for me in a bigger size?
Niles: All right.. (He goes over to look for another dress when he hears his name)
Maris: Niles? Niles Crane is that you? (To be continued)
