Author's Note: Thanks for all the awesome reviews! Hope everyone likes this chapter. Oh, and I'm not done yet! ;)

Daphne sat in Cafe Nervosa, wondering when she'd ever been this nervous. She desperately hoped Joy and her friends would like her. Even after marrying Niles and enjoying all the things that came along with his status, she sometimes still felt like a poor girl from Manchester. This was definitely one of those times! When a waitress came over to ask if she wanted anything, Daphne was quick to say no. She was jittery already, and caffeine wouldn't exactly calm her.

A few excruciating minutes later, the door to the cafe opened. Daphne spotted Joy immediately. Now that she was actually here in person, the resemblance was even more remarkable than it had been online. They hugged. "This is so strange!" Daphne exclaimed. "It's like I'm looking in a mirror."

"It's a bit odd for me as well," Joy admitted.

"You're English?" Daphne asked when she heard Joy's accent.

She nodded. "That's where I grew up. Anyway, I'd like you to meet my two best friends, Melanie Moretti,"

Melanie extended a hand to Daphne. "It's so nice to meet you," she said, before pulling her into an unexpected hug.

"You, too," Daphne said when Melanie finally released her.

"And this is my other friend -"

When Daphne saw the woman Joy was introducing, she let out an involuntary gasp.

"Yes, I am Victoria Chase. You probably recognize me from my 27 years on Edge of Tomorrow, where I played Honor St. Raven. I won an Emmy for it, but -"

"You look like my mother-in-law!" Daphne exclaimed, barely hearing Victoria's words.

"I beg your pardon?" Victoria asked. She was used to fans reacting strangely when they saw her in person, but this was definitely a first.

Daphne felt the initial shock wear off. "Well, Ronee's not really my mother-in-law. She's Martin's second wife, but still. Hang on, I've got a picture here from their wedding." She opened her phone and quickly browsed through her photos. She handed the phone to Victoria. "See?"

Victoria couldn't believe it. This Ronee person not only resembled her, but she looked even younger, if that were even possible! "Your mother-in-law is beautiful," Victoria said. "If they ever make a movie of my life, after I'm dead, of course, she could play the lead role." She handed Daphne's phone back.

Daphne hardly knew what to say. "Well, Ronee does sing a few times a week at a nightclub. But I don't think she'd be interested in acting. I'll, um, pass that suggestion along, though."

After an awkward moment, Joy spoke. "Should we all sit down now? "

"Oh... yes," Daphne said. The four women took their seats. Before anyone could say a word, a waitress came over to the table.

The young barista looked back and forth from Joy to Victoria, her mouth open in surprise. "Mrs. Crane, in all the years you've been coming here, you never mentioned you were a twin!"

Daphne smiled. "No. We're not related. We just met today."

"Oh, all right then." The waitress took the four coffee orders and then left them alone.

"How long have you been coming here?" Melanie asked Daphne. "That barista knew your name and you didn't even have to tell her your order!"

"Well, Niles and I have been coming here for over eleven years," Daphne explained. "The staff here are practically family to us by now!"

"Wow, I guess you guys were young when you got married," Melanie said. The mention of young marriage immediately made her think of Anders, and the way their marriage had ended. But she didn't want to think about that now.

Daphne smiled sadly. "No. When Niles and I first started coming here, he wasn't my husband. We didn't even become a couple until eight years after we met."

"Eight years?" Victoria asked.

"Yes. It's a long story. But it's all in the past now. What matters is, Niles and I are together, and we couldn't be happier."

"I loved looking at all your pictures on Facebook," Joy said. "Especially the ones of your son."

"Thanks," Daphne replied with an embarrassed smile. "He's such a sweet boy. Takes after his father." She picked up her phone once again. She flipped to a picture of David, then handed it to Joy.

Joy looked at the photo. She knew Daphne was expecting her to gush even more about the boy, but she couldn't ignore the ache in her heart. "Looking at this reminds me of my son," she said.

"I didn't know you had a son," Daphne replied. "I didn't see him in any of your pictures."

"That's because I don't have any pictures of him. I had to give him up. I was only fifteen at the time." Joy hated the memories that one sentence conjured up. Even after so many years, they still hurt.

Daphne didn't know what to say. She thought of David and knew immediately she couldn't imagine ever giving him up. Not after all she and Niles had been through just to be together and start their family. And to have to go through something like that at such a young age. Joy must have had to grow up awfully fast. "I'm sorry," Daphne finally said. She reached over and squeezed Joy's hand.

"It's probably for the best. I don't think I would've been a very good mum," Joy said with a sad smile.

"That's not true," Melanie immediately said. "I think you would've been a great mom. You still could be."

"Thanks, Melanie," Joy said, smiling for real this time.

"I'll admit I don't know very much about your life or what you've been through. But I believe in fate, and I'm sure there's someone out there for you, Joy," Daphne said firmly. She decided to keep her visions a secret for the moment. She wasn't sure if these women would believe her or not.

"Thanks, Daphne," Joy said. Already she could tell she liked this woman. It was easy to see why Niles was so crazy about her. Daphne was clearly a very caring person. "I've tried to look for my son. And last year, I finally heard from him."

"That's wonderful. I'm glad you were able to meet him."

"I haven't actually met him yet," Joy explained. "He texted me once, but then decided he wasn't ready to meet me. I guess he was afraid I'd be a disappointment."

"Joy, you know that's not true!" Melanie exclaimed. "He was probably afraid you'd be disappointed. And even if meeting him doesn't work out, you've still got us."

Joy knew that Melanie was right, of course. Not everything was perfect in her life. In fact, most things weren't. But if there was one thing Joy was grateful for, it was her friends. Including her newest friend, Daphne Crane.
