Chapter 16

The Final Chapter

That night everyone enjoyed having Eddie home he was spoiled, but Martin knew Eddie deserved it after what he went through. Eddie actually bonded with Mrs. Cooper but her bringing him a ton of dog bones might have done the trick. She actually made him a dog sweater which wasn't something Martin really was overjoyed with, but he would allow him to wear it if Eddie allowed it. Martin watched as David, and Eddie laid on the floor, David was reading him one of his comics, and Martin could swear Eddie was understanding every word of it. Martin smiled as Eddie's head looked up and they just stared at each other for the longest time. Martin had his buddy back, and Eddie was happy being back at home. He didn't know how much longer he would be blessed to have Eddie around but he did know he would treasure every minute they did have together. Everyone left after dinner, and Martin went to his room to rest with Eddie right beside him. Martin lifted him up, and they fell asleep together both content that their ordeal was over. Eddie still had some recovery left to do but he was well on his way to making a full recovery.

The weeks, and months went by, and no one would have thought Eddie was ever hurt. He would go for his long walks with Martin, and Mrs Cooper at times. She would stop at the Pet store every time to get Eddie a treat which made Eddie's tail wag. Martin would say Eddie was getting so spoiled, but he spoiled him just as much. Martin was on his way home with Eddie, and Mrs. Cooper when Frasier came running out of the building yelling his name.

"Frasier what on earth is the matter your acting crazy"

"Dad I just got a call from Niles they are at the hospital Daphne is in labor"

"She is what should we do"?

"I'm going over there lets take Eddie upstairs , and drive over there"

Mrs. Cooper smiled, "Give me Eddie, I will take care of him you both run along, and see that new Member of your family"

Martin gave Mrs. Cooper a kiss on the cheek, and gave her the leash, and smiled at Eddie.

"You be good for her, and I will be home soon". Eddie watched as Frasier, and Martin left both excited about the baby.

Mrs. Cooper smiled, "Come on Eddie you can watch Young, and the Restless with me, and I will have some wine, and you get some of these bones you like"

Eddie ran ahead almost making Mrs. Cooper run, but she laughed as she said.

"OK slow down Eddie I'm not young anymore".

Frasier, and Martin were driving to the hospital, they both were excited, but nervous hoping everything was OK with Daphne.

They got to the hospital, and went inside, and went to the maternity floor, and were told where to wait for news. Martin was pacing he was worried, but Frasier said it takes time to give birth. It was 1 hour later Niles came into the Waiting room he looked exhausted but happy.

"Niles is Daphne, and the baby OK"

"Yes Dad we had a baby girl she is so beautiful she is just like her Mom"

"A girl"

"Yes a girl Dad"

"Wow I have a Granddaughter"

"You want to see them, Daphne said it would be OK" Frasier,and Martin followed Niles to the room, and went inside, and smile seeing Daphne holding her baby girl in her arms. Martin walked over, and his eyes well up with tears she was beautiful just like Niles said.

"Daphne"

"Would you like to hold her Martin"?

"Oh I don't know she is so small"

Niles smiled, "Sit down Dad, I will put her in your arms". Martin sat while Frasier looked on, Niles took the baby, and put it in his arms. Martin smiled, "Hello you I'm your Grandpa, it is so nice to meet you". She moved, and made some little noises making Martin look at Niles.

"Niles"

"It is fine Dad she likes you"

"She hasn't opened her eyes, but she is so small, and so beautiful"

"Yes like her Mama" Niles said looking at Daphne, they held hands, while Frasier wiped a tear from his cheek.

"Frasier are you crying"? Niles said, but Frasier looked at him, and said.

"No there is something in my eye".

"Oh right what do you think of my sweet Angel"?

"She is something Niles she truly is beautiful". Frasier walked over, and gave Niles a hug, and whispered.

"Congrats Niles, and you too Daphne"

"Thanks"

Martin smiled, "Wait until she meets Eddie he will love this one"

Niles, and Daphne both laugh, and say, "Yes she will Dad who wouldn't love Eddie".

A nurse came in, and told Niles that his Son, and the babysitter is outside waiting. Niles ran out, and David runs over hugging him.

"Are you ready to see your little sister"?

"I have a sister "?

"Yes, and I know she will love you"

The Sitter said she will wait outside while Niles took David in. Daphne smiled as David ran over giving her a hug, but he turned looking at Martin, and his baby sister.

"She is to small Mom"

"She was just born she will get big before you know it"

"She is cute" David walked over smiling as Martin lifted her so he had a better view.

"What is her name"?

Niles smiled, " Meet "Faith Anne Crane"

Martin smiled, "Good name but would you mind if I just call her Angel"

Daphne laughed, "Great nickname I'm sure she won't mind"

"Hello Faith, Anne Crane, our newest little Angel welcome to the family, I'm sure you will fit right in"

They all smile this was a long, and scary year for all of them, but they made it through, and they were all together, and happy, and safe, and for that they were so grateful.
