Daphne was shocked. How could she be pregnant? Well, she knew how, but why her? Why now? It was as clear as day, the little pink plus sign stared at her. She was 100% sure now. Her stomach grumbled. It was nearly noon and she hadn't eaten all day. She wasn't very hungry though, nothing sounded appetizing, but the baby wants what the baby wants. She slowly stood up and worked her way to the kitchen. She made herself a sandwich and a glass of milk and sat down in the living room and ate. As she ate, she watched the news and heard all about the construction going on downtown. To no surprise, this bored her.
Once she finished, she put her dishes up in the kitchen and went back into the living room. She grabbed her book off of the coffee table and sat in the loveseat next to the fireplace. She took the blanket and draped over the back of the chair and wrapped herself in it. Once she was comfortable, she began to read.
"Daphne? Daphne are you up?" Niles was home. Patty must have given him her message. Daphne realized that she must have fallen asleep, her book laid open across her chest.
"Hello Niles," she said in her thick British accent.
"Patty told me you needed some help at the house, so I left right after my last session."
"Good," Daphne said, her words slowly left her lips. "Come sit with me." She sat up and had Niles sit to her right. She put her feet up in the seat and leaned her head against Niles's shoulder. Niles to his arm and wrapped it around her.
"I love you Daphne Crane," Niles said and grinned. Daphne couldn't help but smile too. She was Mrs. Niles Crane.
"I love you too," Daphne cooed back and nuzzled herself closer to him. Niles bent his head down and kissed Daphne's forehead. Daphne took Niles's hand in hers and placed his hand on her stomach. She placed her hand on top of his to hold it there.
"Niles," Daphne said. She looked up and their eyes met
"Yes Love."
"You are going to be a father." Niles's mouth dropped.
"Really?" Niles asked in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. He was going to be a father. Daphne sat up.
"Yes Niles, we're parents." Niles grinned. He was going to be a father. Daphne was carrying a baby that they had created. Daphne sat up and Niles couldn't help himself. He reached over and hugged Daphne. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him back.
"Oh I love you, love you, love you." Niles exclaimed. He loosened his hug and kissed her.
