So I found this song I used to listen to when I was little. I think that it just goes with this one-shot perfectly. This is my first fluffy one-shot. Let me know how I did.
P.S. I don't own the song or Meet the Robinsons. Enjoy.
Cornelius blinked his eyes to adjust to the light. He tried to get up, but couldn't. He looked down to see Franny fast asleep on his chest. They were laying on the couch in the living room. Cornelius didn't remember how or when they got there, but he smiled. He loved Franny. She was his everything. He was lucky to have her.
You're better than the best,
I'm lucky just to linger in your light,
Cooler than the flipside of my pillow, that's right.
Franny slowly awoke. She smiled at her husband, who was just staring at her.
Completely unaware,
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's okay, yea it's okay,
And the moments where my good times start to fade.
Neither of them moved for a while. Franny put her head back down on Cornelius's chest and listened to the rhythm of his breathing. Cornelius put one hand behind his head and put the other on Franny's arm.
You make me smile like the sun, Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head,
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night,
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile.
Cornelius smiled as that part of the song played in his head. It was the perfect song to describe his wife. There was no better explanation for her. She was his crazy, beautiful, forceful, loving, wife. And he loved every part of her. He sighed, he had to go on a big business trip in a week. He'd be gone for at least two weeks. He'd miss her… a lot.
Even when you're gone,
Somehow you come along,
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack,
And just like that, you steal away the rain,
And just like that.
He knew that it bothered her when he left, but she didn't complain. She always understood him. Even when they were growing up. The countless incidents with his experiments. His family. She was always the one person he could talk to. That was yet another quality he loved about her.
You make me smile like the sun, Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head,
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night,
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile.
She was his own miracle. Without her, he'd be nothing.
Don't know how I'd live without you (changed the lyrics there)
Because every time I get around,
I see the best of me inside your eyes,
You make me smile.
Cornelius hadn't realized that he'd been singing out loud. He suddenly stopped. Franny lifted her head off of his chest and looked at him, "Why'd you stop? You were great." She said with a smile. Cornelius smiled back and continued to sing the rest of the song.
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile.
You make me smile like the sun, Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head,
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night,
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile.
Franny couldn't help but join in at the last part.
Oh you make me smile,
Oh you make me smile,
Oh you make me smile.

Cornelius and Franny were completely unaware that their son was eavesdropping, along with the rest of the family. Lucille quietly shut the door and looked at the family, "Now guys," she started, "They can't find out that we listened to them. For our own sakes." Lucille said. The family started to laugh, but agreed.
Everyone went their own ways except Bud and Lucille. They stood by the door a moment longer to hear quiet, 'I love you' from their son and one from their daughter-in-law. Lucille smiled at Bud, "Corny finally got what he deserved." Lucille said.

Back with Cornelius and Franny, Cornelius smiled. He heard what his mother had said. "No I didn't get what I deserved. I got better." He said playfully as he and Franny continued to lie on the couch. It was one of the best days of his life. Eventually, they both fell back asleep.
Around ten at night, Lucille stopped by one more time to get a look at the happy couple. She couldn't help the grin that extended across her face as he crept up beside them and carefully put a blanket over them.
Okay, do you think that I should make this a multi-chapter full of one shots song fics?
