I don't own The Nanny nor do I own Niles, Fran or Max. This is part I of a III part series


The date was September 3rd and Niles was sitting on the sofa nursing a bit of a headache.

"Niles," Max asked, "are you alright"

"I have another bloody headache," Niles said with a sigh, "I always get them around this time of year"

"Guilt headaches," Max explained to Fran who'd just come down with a look of concern on her face after seeing Niles wince from the pain of the headache

"Guilt," she said, "please wha-does he got to feel guilty about?"

"Niles," Max said, "I need you to do me a favor and drop this off at the studio"

"Oh of course sir what an honor," Niles said sarcastically, "is there anything else I can do for you? Shine your shoes perhaps or clean your high class rear"

"Niles are you alright. You seem quite on the edge today," Max asked him

"You feel guilty because you were sarcastic to him," Fran asked, "ugh Niles have I taught you nothing"

"I wish it was that simple," Niles said, "but believe me it was much more then that"

"How bad could it be. It's not like you killed someone"

Niles bowed his head
