This Wasn't Supposed To Happen
A/N: Bloody hell two updates in a day. I have just really got into this story, at this rate I'll be finished by tomorrow lol (but don't count on it). As always reviews are wonderful.
Usual disclaimer applies, and once again I have nothing of value, unless you value odd socks, old copies of Top Gear Magazine and many, many pictures of Jenson Button.
It had been an uneventful day at the office for Niles, when his last patient cancelled, something that annoyed him immensley, he was pleased that he could go home early. Being married to Daphne was even better than he had imagined, having someone to come home to who was genuinley happy to see him was somewhat of a novelty for Niles, he rarley saw Maris on arriving home, and in the three days he was married to Mel he only came home to her once.
When he got in Daphne was sat reading on the sofa, he kissed her, and asked how her day was.
"Well apart from
having a man poking round my mouth wearing rubber gloves, pretty
uneventful, how was yours?"
"Pretty much the same, apart
from the man with rubber gloves obviously, my last patient cancelled
on me, so I decided to leave the dull paperwork and come home."
Neither Niles nor Daphne could be bothered to cook so they ordered pizza for dinner. Daphne had decided to tell Niles after dinner, and had grown visibly tense, Niles noticed this and began to rub her neck and she let out a low moan of appreciation. Seeing how much she was enjoying the massage Niles began to kiss where his hands had been seconds before. The intimate situation was interrupted by the door buzzer going, evidently their dinner had arrived. Daphne was oddly relieved at this, with what she was going to tell him she really didn't want it to be after they made love. Dinner passed without event, Daphne managed to keep the conversation away from the events of the night before.
After dinner they on the fainting couch trying to decide which movie to watch later in the evening when Daphne suddenly turned to Niles, her expression deadly serious.
"Niles I have something I need to tell you" she began, Niles tried to think what it could be about, the only thing that came to mind was that she was pregnant, as they had been talking about trying to have children.
"This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, Niles, I love you, don't ever doubt that, but last night I did something very stupid." She could see tears begining to form in his eyes, evidently he had pre-empted what she was going to say.
"I slept with another man, I have no defence for my actions. I understand if you never want to se me again. As I have nowhere else to stay, as Roz's apartment is too small and Freddie arrives tomorrow I will move into the guest room."
The tears began to flow uncontrollably down Niles' cheeks, hope that he was in some sort of hideous dream and that Daphne had not just told him that she slept with another man, but the tall figure behind a stack of clothes told him otherwise. It was still sinking in an hour later when he was distracted from his catatonic state by the phone ringing, as he had been sat with his head cradled in his hands for the past hour there was a slight cramp in his wrist, thankfully it was just someone selling long-distance, quite possibly the only time he had ever been thankful for that, if it had been Frasier he would have broken down on the phone. Instead he put the phone on auto-divert to the answering machine and went up to the bedroom with a bottle of sherry and the hope of drinking himself into oblivion, or at least a place where betryal wasn't a feature of his every relationship.
