"Mommy, presents" Alice grabbed her bag and pulled out this bag which was
full of presents "Who did you get presents for?" Roz looked at Alice
"Everyone" she handed Roz the bag "Who's is this?" Roz held up a ring on a
chain "That's Daphne's" Roz handed to Daphne "Read it" Alice asked "Daphne
loves Niles 4ever. Aww, Alice that's beautiful" Roz pulled out a corkscrew
"Niles" Roz handed to Daphne "I broke your other one" Roz pulled out a
cuddly teddy, "Who's this for?" Alice looked at Frasier "Uncle Frasier, in
case he gets lonely" Frasier looked at Alice "Thank you, I will put it on
my bed" he kissed the top of her head and took the bear from Roz and sat it
on his lap. Roz pulled out a ring, it was gold with purple stones Roz
looked at it "That's yours Mommy, do you like it?" Roz touched the ring
again "I love it" Alice looked at Roz "actually it's from Nana and me"
Alice grabbed it from Roz and grabbed Roz' hand and slipped on to her
finger "Look" Alice showed everyone Roz' ring. Under the sea starts playing
"turn it up, turn it up" Alice began to sing a long "come on everyone,
sing" Roz joined in.
It started to get dark and Alice was the first to start yawning "Alice, where is Crazy George?" Roz searched the floor for Alice's favourite bear "I had him at Nana's, is he here?" Roz shook her head, Alice began to cry "Where is Crazy George?" Frasier looked at Alice "Alice, here why don't you look after my teddy bear until Crazy George is back?" Alice looked at him "Really?" Frasier nodded "You can name it too" Alice wiped her eyes and took the bear from Frasier and nestle herself next to him "You have to help me!" Frasier nodded "Ok, then lets start" Alice started "Flounder?" Roz looked at Alice "Flounder is a fish, honey" Alice nodded; Roz pulled the paper out of her bag and began to read "Roz! What's that?" Frasier moved closer to the paper "Roz, we'll call her Roz. Well done uncle Frasier" Frasier looked at Alice "oh I didn't mean as a name for the bear" Alice shook her head "Her name is Roz!" Daphne and Niles started laughing "Frasier has a bear called Roz!"
After an hour, Alice was asleep and Frasier and Roz were fighting again "Look, Frasier I don't know where he got all this from!" She waved the page at him "I suppose this is talk over Seattle! All because you had to be stubborn and selfish and couldn't be happy for me!" Roz scowled "Don't start again Frasier; I'm really not interested in having this discussion again! This is what got us in this mess now; All because you won't drop it!" Frasier looked angry "So this is all my fault? Yeah that's a Roz response; don't take any responsibility, you don't need to you can blame it all on me! Well sorry Roz, not this time" the last bit was a bit louder than he wanted it to be "Keep your voice down! Look; Frasier after tonight we don't have to see each other again and do you know what that works great for me" Daphne turned round "Will you two listen to each other! You sound like children; can you actually remember why you are fighting?" Roz looked at Daphne "Stay out of it Daphne! This has nothing to do with you!" Daphne turned again "Roz, I care about you both and I can't bear to see you like this! I know how much you mean to each other and I don't want to be caught in the middle of this stupid feud that you two could sort out if you weren't so stubborn, the know that all you have to do is say sorry to each other! Frasier everyone makes mistakes Julia was yours and Roz sometimes when we mean to say something, something else comes out. This is a simple situation, you either lose each other or you both swallow some of that pride and apologise" Niles put his hand on Daphne's shoulder.
Silence had fallen on the car after Daphne had her say. Daphne was wondering if their plan was such a good idea, it hadn't even come into action yet but Roz and Frasier were finding the smallest thing to argue about; Roz checked her watch and looked at Alice, Roz wanted to be at home; her comfort blanket was calling her as was a long hot bath. Frasier was looking out of the window and wondering if some of what Daphne said was right Julia was his mistake and definitely not worth losing Roz over; but he couldn't forgive her for putting him in that situation in the first place. Luckily for Roz Frasier was staying at Niles and Daphne's so they didn't have to be alone in the car together. She wanted to kill him at the moment; he was making her feel uncomfortable and she hated that she still cared what he thought; it made no difference to him what she had said but he had gotten to her in a big way.
