Daphne's heart raced with anticipation as she stood in front of the full length mirror and admired her appearance. She was wearing a brand new dress; a flowered short sleeved dress that she'd bought on the same day that she'd bought the nightgown. It was the perfect occasion to wear it for the first time. She paired the dress with some red flats (which brought out the tiny red flowers that were scattered along the material) and a lightweight royal blue sweater.
"You're stunning."
Her heart fluttered and she whirled around feeling like a schoolgirl going on her first date to the school dance. But nothing could have prepared her for the sight of her husband. Dressed in a light blue shirt, khaki pants and a dark blue pullover sweater, he was devastatingly handsome.
She went to him at once and kissed him. "Thank you sweetheart. And you are the most handsome man I've ever seen. Now, let's go and get David ready for his party."
A short while later, David was dressed and ready to go. Niles couldn't over how handsome his son was, wearing the tiny Seahawks jersey with the numbers of his birth year on the back underneath his name. The jersey was paired with some little blue and green socks and blue pants. Niles picked up his son from the changing table and kissed his cheek.
"There's my boy. Are you ready to go see Grandma and Grandpa?"
"He certainly does look handsome."
Niles turned to his wife and smiled. "I wish that I had said something to Dad earlier. I just-."
Her fingers went to his lips. "That's all in the past. Now, we're going to have a lovely time so don't worry about a thing. But we'd better get going or your father and Ronee will start to get suspicious."
The moment that Daphne took David out of Niles' arms, he put his arms around his wife and son. "I love you both so much."
"And we love you too." Daphne replied. "I can hardly wait to see the look on your father's face when he realizes what we're doing."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Daphne smiled. The party was going to be truly magical; she was sure of it.
