Destiny's house

March 6-14th 2007

Silence, it was unusual for this time of day. No Max yelling at his butler to do something, no Max yelling at his nanny for getting into trouble, nothing but silence. It was a nice fall day at the Sheffield's. Everyone was outside well, almost everyone. Max and CC were on the terrace going over new paper work for the up coming show. Ms Fine took the kids to the park. Niles was the only one that was inside the house doing well, what ever he actually did.

"CC this looks great! I was hoping for something like this to come up." Max commented as he looked up at here from his chair at the table. "We needed it for the start of the fall."

He noticed a leave fall from the tree at the end of the terrace. "Just in time for the Halloween weekend."

She smiled, "I thought it was good. I wanted to grab it quick."

"Well, let's go for it." Max ordered as he went back inside to his office.

"I'll make some calls." CC sat outside in the sun making her calls. Wind slightly blew her hair around. During her calls, CC's sister called her.

"DD," CC said sounding shocked to hear from her.

"We want your help in throwing a party at Grandma's mansion."

"Why do you need my help?"

"It's…" Noel picked up.

"We want you to come."

"Noel?"

"Yes, I'll be there too." She hasn't seen DD or Noel in years. "We would love to see you."

"I would like to see you as for the house…. you know how I feel about it."

"Great so you'll come then. It's only for a few days sis. Please." DD begged her sister.

"Let me think about it and I have to clear it with my business partner."

"Well, call me back." DD hung up the phone.

"Did she take the bait?" Noel asked.

"I don't know. I think so, only if her business partner will let her go for a few days. It seems they can't do anything without asking the other one. It's like thy are married or something."

"Was that your sister on the phone?" Max asked looking up from his desk.

"Yes," she swallowed. She hated to ask Max for time off. Usually he let her but with a new play in the works she wasn't sure he would this time. "DD, would like me to come up to my grandmother's old mansion for a few days."

"The one in the pictures I've seen?"

"Yes. Castle, "Starlight" is right outside of Jersey."

"Sand castle?" Niles commented as he entered the room. He was listening by the intercom in the kitchen.

"No!" CC glared over at him. Then back to Max. "It's made out of black stone faced and trimmed with white marble. Anyway…." She stared back at Niles. "They want me to go to some party they are throwing up there. It's for a few days." She faces Max to try to read him. "It's the only time that they will be in town short of speak."

Max hesitated. This is Halloween weekend. He thought to himself. Going to a house like that would be fun. The kids would enjoy it. Oh the kids. She's not going to let them come.

"I'll let you go,"

"You will," CC sounded real shocked at his decision.

"With one exception." Oh no. CC thought, what could that be.

"Name it." She said before she could stop herself.

"If we can all come with you up there." She stared at Max.

"What? Maxwell, are you crazy?"

"Deal or no deal, that is the questioned?" Niles commented.

"Mr. Sheffield, Mr. Sheffield." Fran called as she and the kids came in the office.

"Greg just asked Maggie to a Halloween party in the Hamptons." B interjected.

"Absolutely not."

"But why…" Maggie whined, which Max always hated.

"Cause I said so," he stated firmly.

"I told you he'd say no." Fran came up to an irritated Maggie, and whisper that she would see what she could do. Max knew that when she whispered something to the kids that meant that she was going to talk to him. That she was going to try to trick him into saying yes, well not this time. Max was not going to ruin it this time.

"No, Ms. Fine the answer is no."

"But…." Fran whined in her nasal voice.

"We have plans." Maxwell winked at CC. She sighed.

"Deal,"

"Great!" he faced his kids. "Kids thanks to Ms. Babcock here," he pointed in her direction, which was sitting on the love sit. "We are going to a haunted house party."

"As for the house being haunted I…" she shook her head. "I don't believe that. And I don't believe in ghost either." CC scooted past Fran and left the office. What have I done? Three days with all the brats. Why didn't I just keep my mouth shut?
