Family

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or anything else…Beginning taken from "The Guilt Trippers" (where Roz and Frasier slept together) written by Lori Kirkland.

"Oh, we'll always be friends, Frasier," Roz assured Frasier gently. Her words were all he needed to hear. "Nothing's going to ever change that," she added as the two of them embraced. "I just can't believe you traveled all this way."

Frasier smiled warmly at her. "Well, that's what people do when they care about someone," he told her honestly. He did care about her. He loved her. They might not be in love, but he cared about her more than anyone. She was family to him. "We're really ok?" he asked a moment later.

Roz nodded. "Totally," she agreed. "We just don't need to tell anyone. Agreed?"

"Agreed," Frasier instantly responded. "Wait, my dad kind of already knows," he added softly.

"You told your dad?" Roz asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't tell him. He figured it out seeing as your purse was on our table all night," Frasier explained. His face reddened all over again. "Well, once I knew that he knew, I talked to him. I was scared, Roz. Scared of what would happen between us."

Roz smiled as she moved a bit closer to Frasier. "Well, you and I both know that nothing will happen between us. We'll go on as if this never happened. We'll remain friends and just not mention this to anyone else." She gasped and looked into Frasier's eyes. "No one else knows, right?"

"Not unless you told someone," Frasier confirmed. He smiled again as he stood up from the porch. "Now what do you say about going back inside?"

Roz frowned. "And face them?"

"Well, Rodger's here," Frasier pointed out with a smile as he extended his hand to Roz. "Come on. We can annoy your sister some more," he pointed out.

A smile grew on Roz's face. "Ok, but it has to be something really good."

"Better than a diamond bracelet?" Frasier asked. "What more do you want?" He smiled as he opened the door for Roz. The two of them were going to be fine, he decided. They were happy.
