***Sadly I don't own The Nanny or the characters. Enjoy the story! (:
One peaceful morning, the family was gathered around the breakfast table.
"So, what do you three have planned for today?" asked Mr. Sheffield. Gracie and Maggie shook their heads murmuring, "Nothing," while biting into some toast.
Brighton had a wide grin on his face, "Well, me and Yetta are going to the movies…again." Just then, Fran walked into the dining room in her robe and plopped next to Maxwell.
"Good morning, darling," Maxwell said. He leaned over and kissed Fran on the cheek.
"Good morning Max." She put some waffles on her plate.
"What are you doing today sweetie?" Fran asked.
"Well, C.C. should be arriving in a few minutes and we will be going over the new play." No one had noticed Niles walking into the dining room.
"Sir, should I switch on the lights on the roof so Miss. Babcock can land her broom?" The children giggled while Maxwell gave him a disapproving look.
"Niles, can you can C.C. be civilized around each other for five minutes?" Niles gave Max a shocked face,
"Why sir, it would go against my religion to be friends with the devil. Coffee?" Fran nodded her head and gave Niles a smile. Fran knew how Niles really felt for C.C. ever since the day he admitted it to her in the kitchen. She felt bad for the man because she felt that they would be right for one another if they would just admit each other's feeling. Fran honestly didn't know whether C.C. felt the same way, but she suspected it with the way she treats him. 'Just doesn't want to admit it' Fran thought.
Niles poured her some coffee just as the door burst open and the unmistakable voice was heard.
"Hello, hello!" C.C. said as she walked into the room and sat in the empty seat.
"Coffee Miss. Babcock?" Niles asked. Fran looked at him in shock. 'That's the first nice thing I've heard him say in a long time. Hmmm…maybe he's going to try and ask her out.' C.C. stared at Niles with a questioning look and nodded her head.
"You know how I like mine," C.C. stated. Niles nodded and poured C.C. her coffee and added two sugar lumps. Niles gave her a small smile but in his carelessness tripped over Brighton's chair. The children couldn't help but laugh.
"Honestly Maxwell, isn't time to find someone of younger stature. I mean what's next, Niles falling down the stairs and causing a lawsuit?" Niles gave C.C. a look that could kill but she wasn't buying it.
"The only way I would fall down the stairs is if you intentionally pushed me," Niles added. C.C. rolled her eyes and sipped her coffee.
"You know Niles, I would never push you down the stairs. You would come back to haunt me," C.C said adding the last part under her breathe. Niles shook his head as he heard what Miss. Babcock murmured. Five minutes later, Maxwell broke the silence.
"Well that was a delightful breakfast Niles but I do believe it's time for work." Everyone starting getting up to go their own ways but Niles shocked everyone. Before C.C. could stand up, Niles had walked behind her chair and slid it out for her. She stood up and gave him a bewildered look like everyone else in the room. Niles, realizing what he had just done, cleared his throat and said,
"If you would all excuse me, I need to clean the table and get to work on my chores for the day." He quickly grabbed empty plates and without giving anyone a glance, walked out of the room towards the kitchen. C.C. just stared at the door where Niles had just walked into. Fran walked up to her and patted her shoulder.
"Miss. Babcock, are you alright?" C.C. turned her head and stared at her.
"I'm perfectly fine but what in the world is wrong with Niles?" C.C. asked. Fran knew it wasn't her place to announce Niles liking to C.C. but she desperately wanted to get these two together. 'Oh, what can I tell her that won't give tha secret away!' Fran just gave C.C. a sincere smile and said,
"I'm not sure Miss. Babcock, but whatever it is seems to have to deal with you." C.C. just stared at Fran.
"Whatever do you mean, Nanny Fine? I mean we haven't been at each others throats yet today but I don't see what would make him act so strangely." Fran just shook her head and headed toward the door,
"Maybe he's had a change of heart," Fran stated as she gave C.C. a smile and strutted out the door. Now C.C. was the only one in the dining room with her mind mulling over what Fran had said.
'Change of heart? Whatever could Nanny Fine mean by that?' C.C. just shook her head and walked out the same door as Fran. 'I'll just have to figure this out for myself.'
