Chapter 7
"Martin listen to me, what happened today with Eddie was unfortunate, but it was not your fault"
"It was Daphne I was fool, you should have seen him lying in the road, his eyes looking at me. I let him down, and he was always there for me"
Daphne started to cry making Martin touch her hand.
"I'm sorry I'm upsetting you but I love Eddie he keeps me going everyday"
"I love Eddie we all love him but you have family, you have little David you are not alone"
"You have your lives, I don't want to be a burden. Eddie was there he is always there"
"Come home Martin your boys want to be there for you. They love you but sometimes you don't make it easy for them"
"Me why would you say that"?
"You can be stubborn sometimes, but Niles, and Frasier look up to you, but you push them away sometimes, why do you do that"?
"I don't I said I will not be someones burden, they come by to check up on me, and I don't need anyone"
"Really you only need Eddie"?
"Yes I need Eddie, and I need you all too, but I don't feel like I belong anymore"
"We invite you to our place all the time, and you can bring Eddie but you say no all the time why Martin"?
"I wasn't really a great Father my life was my job, but I loved my family, and I loved my boys, but I never really showed it. I see Niles with David, and it hurts me, he is amazing. David loves Niles , I missed so much when they were growing up, and I will never get that back"
"Niles is a wonderful Father, but so are you, I have seen you do so much for Frasier, and Niles. You have been there when they needed you the most. I have never heard Niles say he hated his past he always says you were a wonderful Father. You can not go back, and change the past, but you can move on, and spend precious time with your sons, and David, and this new child that will be your Grandchild"
"You are pregnant"?
"Yes Niles does not know yet but I will tell him soon, but I'm so happy. I'm so sorry little Eddie is hurt, and I see your hurting, but don't push us away we love you Martin".
Daphne saw Martin's eyes fill up with tears, and he wiped them away.
"God something is in my eye"
"Yes it is mighty dusty in this place , lets go home, and get something to eat"
"Daphne thank you, I will never forget what you said to me today. Niles is sure lucky to have you, and David and this little one are sure lucky you are their Ma, Ma".
"I'm the lucky one, I love Niles, and his family, and my babies"
"Lets go home, I'm sure Niles is worried about you"
"Yes you know Niles so well"
Martin took Daphne's hand, and they both left the bar together. They both walked home silently, but their special talk would forever be in their memory. Martin realized he was loved, and he needed to be more involved with his family, but he needed Eddie beside him, because life without his little buddy would not be the same.

Great update Jessie. Poor Martin. he shouldn't be so hard on himself for what happened to Eddie. I hope that Eddie is going to be ok. I loved the talk between Martin and Daphne in this chapter. I can't for Niles to find out that Daphe is pregnant again.

Chapter 8
Daphne opened the door, and Niles and Frasier came out of the kitchen, and stood staring at Martin.
"Niles I should apologize to you , I was rude, and the comment I made back at the bar was out of anger. I love you both but I have a temper, and I say hurtful things sometimes because I get so angry. Daphne kindly put me in my place, she loves you Son".
Niles didn't say anything he just walked over hugging his Dad, all the while looking at Daphne. She wiped a tear from her cheek as Niles walked over, and hugged her too.
Frasier walked over, and Martin smiled Frasier was not a person who would hug you but he hugged his Dad so tight.
"Frasier my bones are getting old not so tight"
"Sorry Dad did I hurt you"?
"No but can I sit down, I'm exhausted. Did the Vets office call while I was out"?
"No but I can call them"?
"No they will call if there is any change maybe I will go lay down"
Niles whispered, "No Dad we ordered pizza no onions, and you can have 1 beer even though you shouldn't"
Daphne smiled as Martin whispered, "OK I will freshen up" Martin walked down the hall, and went into the bathroom, and shut the door.
"Daphne what did you say he is a changed man"?
"Not much he is amazing he knew he was wrong, but he is hurting so bad. I think he feels a little neglected so from this moment on we have to get him more involved in our everyday lives"
"Like he wants that" Frasier smiled but Daphne walked over, "Yes he does Frasier. He has Eddie but we are all wrapped up in our own lives that we don't include him, and it is hurting him. He has his friends, and he knows we all love him, but he needs more"
Niles smiled, "We will include him, and of course Eddie can come to our house anytime he wants. I will ignore the hair, and I will even allow him to jump on the couch even though that is not right. Dad lets him so we will too Daphne. David will love his Grandpa coming for visits, and bringing that dog with him"
Frasier smiled, "Can I come for visits too"?
Daphne put her hands to her waist, and Frasier whispered, "You mad at me for something"?
"We ask you all the time, but your always busy Frasier"
"I know but I will come the next time I miss my little Nephew. It is scary how much like his Daddy he is. I think I need to talk to him about that"
"Don't you bother he is just like his Father, and that is perfect in my eyes"
Niles walked over touching Daphne's cheek with his thumb. Her skin was so soft she was so beautiful how did he get so lucky. She was everything he dreamed his future wife would be like. He just had some rough patches until they finally found each other. Niles brought his lips over Daphne's as they kiss. Frasier smiled but he heard the door bell go off.
"Pizza guys"
Daphne and Niles continued to kiss as Frasier grabbed his wallet.
"I will get it my treat I guess" He walked to the door, and opened it, and paid the man, and took the pizza's. He turned seeing them still kissing.
" The food is here"
Daphne and Niles turn as Niles pulled out his wallet, and Frasier whispered, "I got this one, go get Dad Niles".
Niles smiled as he left them in the dining room. Frasier smiled as Daphne went to grab some plates. Frasier walked into the kitchen, "When are you going to tell him"?
"Soon right now we need to focus on Eddie, and your Father"
"Tell him Daphne he would want to know"
Just than Niles walked into the kitchen, and asked, "Tell him what, is something wrong"?
Martin walked in, and looked scared thinking they were keeping something from him about Eddie.
Daphne looked at Frasier who whispered, "I will take Dad out to the dining room, you have a moment with Niles alone". Frasier walked out, Martin was asking him a million questions. Niles walked over, and Daphne started to cry this whole day has been so overwhelming.
"Daphne what is wrong"?
"These are happy tears , I wanted to wait until the right moment, but I think Frasier is right. This was suppose to be the happiest day for us, but with Eddie, and your Dad it was such bad timing"
"For what Daphne your scaring me"
"Niles I'm pregnant we are going to have a another baby"
Niles was so shocked he stood staring at her, and Daphne walked over touching his face. He was a loss for words, but he lifted her up, and held her close, and yelled, "I love you Daphne, you made me the happiest man in the whole world". She wrapped her arms around him, she loved Niles with all her heart. They both held each other for the longest time, than Frasier finally walked in, and whispered, "The pizza is getting cold"
"Coming Frasier, I have the best news"
"Come tell me , and Dad". Niles was so excited he didn't realize Frasier knew already, and that was fine with Daphne, she wanted Niles to find out differently, but his reaction was perfect. They walked out to the dining room, and they told Martin, and Frasier the great news. Everyone was happy, they could see Martin was thinking about Eddie but they tried to distract him. Daphne had a wonderful feeling Eddie would come home to Martin, and the family. He just had to he was part of the family, Martin needed him, and she realized today she needed him too. You never realize what you got until you almost lose it, and from this day forward she was going to treasure her family , and tell them just what they mean to her, because the thought of losing any of them was to much to bare.

Chapter 9
They all ate their pizza, and after Daphne, and Niles packed up a couple of slices of pizza for David. They didn't want to leave Martin but Frasier was going to spend the night. They left, and Martin said he was going to turn in early he was exhausted. Frasier said he would stay up a while reading. Martin went to his room, and got ready he looked at the dog bed that Eddie rarely used, and it made him sad. He got in bed, and laid back hoping he could sleep his head was pounding, but he didn't want to tell Niles, Daphne or Frasier , and worry them. He finally drifted off asleep, as Frasier fell asleep reading his book in the living room.
Niles, and Daphne went home, and David ran to the door to greet them.
"Mommy , Daddy you are home"
"Yes were you a good boy today David"
"Yes is that pizza Daddy"?
"Yes two slices your favourite you run, and wash your hands, and I will heat this up for you"
"No I like it cold it is so good"
Daphne smiled, "He does he has it for breakfast some days when we have leftovers"
"Oh Daphne"
"It is healthy enough go get him a juice, and I will make sure he washes up"
"Oh Mom"
David ran to the washroom Niles smiled as she followed him. He paid the babysitter, and she left, and he went to the kitchen to get his juice, and put his pizza on a plate. David ran in the kitchen, and got up on his chair, and grabbed his pizza, and was eating so fast.
"You didn't eat your supper I see"?
"No I hate salad, and fish Daddy"
"Eat up you have school tomorrow, and you have to go to bed"
Daphne looked at Niles, and they thought they should tell him about Eddie, and the baby.
"David we have some news for you that might make you sad, and a little happy at the same time"
"Yes Daddy"
"Well Eddie was in a accident today, and he was hurt real bad. He is in the animal hospital right now they are trying to make him better. We were at your Grandpa's apartment tonight"
"Is Eddie going to be OK"?
"We sure hope so you can say a little prayer for him tonight OK Sweetie" Daphne said.
David looked sad, and Niles touched his cheek, "Everything will be OK son Eddie has to be OK"
David smiled, and Niles whispered, "Well the good news is you are going to have a baby brother or sister soon"
David just stared at them they didn't know if he was happy or sad.
"Sweetie say something you are happy you will have a brother or sister right"?
"Yes Mommy"
"Why do you look so serious this is good news David"?
"I'm happy Mommy but I'm sad about Eddie too"
Niles touched his cheek, and whispered, "I know Son, this is real confusing for you"
"Do I have to share my room with my Brother or Sister"?
"No not right away David but if you have a little brother maybe"
"I hope I have a sister than because Timmy my friend at school hates sharing his room with his little brother"
Daphne smiled, "You eat, I will go get your bed ready". Daphne got up leaving David, and Niles together.
"Daddy I'm a big boy please tell me if Eddie is going to be OK"
"Son I hope he is, but he is in God's hands right now, and I think Eddie is a fighter, and he will not leave Grandpa, and his favourite little buddy. He loves to play ball with you, I personally think you give him the best exercise you never leave the little guy alone"
"I don't want him to die". David started to cry, and Niles lifted him up, and hugged him, not knowing what to say next so he just held him close until he calmed down.

Chapter 10
Niles and Daphne tucked David in, and they could see he was really upset about Eddie. It broke their hearts, but they prayed Eddie would get better soon, and they would see a smile back on their sons face. They turned off the light, and walked to their room. Niles sat on the bed as Daphne was changing for bed.
"How do you think Dad is"? Niles asked
"Frasier is watching him but I'm sure he is real worried, but Eddie will make it, I feel it in my heart"
"What if he doesn't it isn't just Dad we have to worry about. Did you see David he is devastated, he loved Eddie too Daphne"
"We all love Eddie but thinking negative will not make it better Niles Crane"
"I know I'm not like you Daphne, I worry to much"
"Yes you do, and I worry about you too Niles. You know your blood pressure has been going crazy recently."
"I know but don't worry about it I will live forever"
"You better we have another mouth to feed, and love "
Niles touched her face, and brought his lips over hers as they kiss. Niles whispered, "I love you Daphne".
They got up undressing each other getting in bed, and snuggled real close just kissing, and holding each other. They both jump as they hear a knock at their door.
Niles jumped up grabbing his pajama pants pulling them on as Daphne was putting her nightgown on. Nile's smiled as he ran over opening the door, and David was standing there with his teddy bear in his arms.
"Hey Buddy you couldn't sleep"?
"No can I sleep with you, and Mommy"?
"Sure come in, Mommy is in bed already". David ran over, and jumped in bed, and hugged his Mom. Niles walked over getting in bed, and whispered, "You stopped carrying your Teddy around a while ago David"
"I know but he was lonely"
Niles, and Daphne kissed his forehead, and whispered, "Well than it is lucky you brought him to our room we would hate for him to be all alone"
Niles turned off the light, and he snuggled beside David. Daphne, and Niles were looking at David when he said.
"Mommy when my Baby Brother or Sister comes does that mean I won't be your Baby anymore"?
"You will be my Baby boy forever even when your married, and have children of your own"
"That sounds silly Mommy"
"You are happy you are going to be a big Brother?"
"Yes, than I can make them do what I want"
Niles smiled, "Wow you have been talking to your Uncle Frasier I see"
"No Grandpa said when I have brothers or Sisters I will be the Boss, and I thought that was cool"
"Well not to bossy young man, but you will be the elder so they should listen to you"
"Daddy can we say a prayer for Eddie"?
"Sure we can do you want to say it"?
"Yes"
David sat up making Daphne, and Niles sit up as David said his prayer.
"Dear God please make Eddie be OK, my Grandpa Crane needs him so much, and he is one of my best friends. Thank you for giving me a Baby Brother or Sister but I want Eddie to meet them, he loves me, and I know he will love them too. I promise I will be a really good boy, and I will pray all the time, but I really hope you are listening to me because I have only 2 wishes, for you. My first one is to make Eddie all better, and my second wish is to keep my family happy they are the best".
David smiled as his Mom, and Dad hugged him, and smiled they were real proud of him.

Chapter 11
The next morning Daphne woke up, and smiled seeing Niles, and David snuggled together. They were so much alike, and so adorable. She got out of bed, and put her robe on, and walked down the hall, and was putting the coffee on. She knew she was going to have morning sickness because the thought of making breakfast was making her sick, and she hated that. She knew eggs were not going to be on the breakfast menu for Niles this morning just the thought of it made her put her hand to her mouth. She turned seeing Niles, and David standing in the doorway.
"Oh God you both scared me a little noise would be nice"
"Why didn't you wake us up Daphne"?
"I was about to but guess what cereal is the big plans for breakfast you both like that right"?
David was fine with it, he ran to the table, and said he wanted Captain Crunch, and Niles sat down, and whispered, "Cereal Daphne "
"I'm sorry Niles I can't stomach bacon, and eggs, not today"
"Oh Daphne your not having morning sickness already"?
"Yeah and it is worse than when I had David"
"You were sick because of me Mommy"?
Daphne smiled, "No Sweetie sometimes a lady gets a upset tummy when they are having a baby, and certain foods make them sick"
"Like mushy carrots, or smelly fish". David said, and Niles laughed because Daphne almost ran out of the kitchen, and David was startled, but Niles grabbed his box of cereal filling his bowl, and put some milk in. He touched David on the shoulder, and told him to eat while he went to check on Mommy.
Niles walked down the hall, and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Niles I will be out in a minute , I don't want you to see me this way'. Niles opened the door, and found her sitting on the edge of the bathtub holding her stomach.
"Daphne I'm here for you"
"I know but David needs you there to make sure he eats his breakfast"
"He is eating he loves his Captain Crunch"
"I love the idea of having a another baby Niles but morning sickness sucks "
"Yeah but it is worth it in the long run just remember the first time we held David in our arms"
"He is so amazing, he is perfect"
Niles smiled, "Well no one is perfect but he is pretty close just like his Dad"
"Yeah, what about his Mom"?
"Well now she is perfect, and so beautiful, and so darn cute"
"Even with my head stuck in the toilet really Niles you are to nice"
Niles hugged her, and she laid her head on his chest.
David finished his cereal he walked out to the living room, and sat down putting the TV on. He saw his Dad's cell phone on the table, he lifted it up, and knew how to dial his Grandpa's number. His Parents showed him in the past in case of a emergency. They also told him to call 911 if something was wrong. He pushed his Grandpa's number, and held the phone waiting for someone to answer.
"Hello" Martin grabbed the phone, he thought it had to be the pet hospital calling about Eddy.
"Grandpa"
"Hey Buddy it is 7am, is everything OK David"?
"Not really Mommy is sick she said some people get sick when they are pregnant. Daddy is helping her, I just had Captain crunch 2 bowls, and I'm watching TV, but I'm worried about Eddie Grandpa when will he come home"?
Martin felt very emotional but he held it together for David.
"Oh he will be home soon, he loves the attention, and I bet he loves the Nurses at the Pet hospital, but he will want to see his best Buddy that is for sure"
"You are his best Buddy, he likes me too, but you are his everything Grandpa"
Martin put the phone to his chest, and he broke down, just as Frasier came out of the bedroom. He ran over thinking it was the hospital giving his Dad bad news. Frasier took the phone, and brought it to his ear.
"Who is this"?
"Uncle Frasier is Grandpa OK, I didn't upset him did I"?
'Hey Buddy your calling real early where are your parents"?
"In the bathroom, I just called to see if Eddie is OK, I said a special prayer for him, and I know God heard me"
"I bet he did, and I know Eddie loves you so much David so when he comes home we will have a big homecoming party for him"
"Cool with gifts, and everything, we can find a doggy balloon, and have a cake , and everything"
"Sounds like a plan, but I have to go, and feed your Grandpa, he says goodbye, and he will call you later OK"
"OK tell him I love him , and I love Eddie,"
"I will tell him, you have fun, at school"
"OK Uncle Frasier". David hung up, and started watching his cartoon, Frasier sat on the couch beside his Dad, and whispered, "Are you OK Dad"?
Martin didn't say a word, and Frasier just sat beside him, knowing right now he had to be there for his Dad but sometimes words only made it worse so he sat beside him waiting for his Dad to talk first.
