Hello all! This is my first Nanny Fanfic.
What if Fran was not hired for the position of the nanny after that weekend of being temporarily hired? Well, I think that Maxwell and Fran would have found each other sooner or later. REMEMBER THIS FANFIC TAKES PLACE THREE YEARS AFTER THAT WEEKEND.
The Sheffield family is on their vacation on a splendid cruise, of course carrying Niles and C.C with them.
But also Fran and her best friend Val also are on the same cruise ship.

"CAN'T START A FIRE WIHOUT A SPARK"
"Oh Dad, this is our First vacation in such a long time, I really want to enjoy it…. Do we have to stay together?" Maggie asked her Father who was now smiling at his daughter's question.
"Well, I really wanted to spend time with you, Brighten and Grace" the father replied.
C.C the father's business partner who was bashfully in unrequited love with him then said "Maxwell, don't forget about me!"
Niles the butler, who had a fancy to make his business associate suffer remarked "oh trust me, he already has."
C.C gave Niles an evil look of frustration as the little ones kept on complaining. Grace was begging her father next "…. Oh daddy, I scheduled a meeting with an on cruise physiatrist. She really thinks she can help me with my problematic developments." Grace began to smile and Maxwell looked at his other two children confused.
"Well" he began "Fine, you may spend today on this cruise alone. But we have to spend lunch and dinner together. Lunch at, I don't know 2 pm, and dinner at 7."
C.C happily watched the children run away because now she had Maxwell all to herself for the whole day. "So Maxwell, what should we do first?" Maxwell looked at her and said, "Well, I am going to go swimming. We will meet each other for lunch to discuss our next theatrical performance."
C.C replied while Maxwell walked away from her "I can come swimming to!" Niles the butler then said "…and expose all that body hair, I don't think so!"
"No, Val! That one looks like he just drank half a bottle of Pepto Bismol!" Fran told her best friend while they were sun tanning together on the deck of the ship. Val looked at her disappointed "Sorry, I just thought that he was cute."
Fran laughed and then exclaimed "Yea, cute. That's how you got stuck with that ex boyfriend of yours. Remember, the one that I hit with a shovel 'cuz I thought he was a Yeti?" Val chuckled and replied "Well, Fran. I don't know what to do. Neither you nor me can find a guy. We better find one on this ship, or I'll die".
Fran looked at her confident "Well, I'm not worried. My physic told me that I was going to meet the man of my dreams. And you know she is always right. Last year when I went to her, she told me that I would travel to a place that I would really enjoy! And guess what? I finally made it to that Donna Karen outlet store in New Jersey and had a wonderful time!"
"Oh, look at the time. It's almost 2 o'clock. I'm kind of hungry, you wanna go get some food?" Val asked her. Fran nodded and said "Of course your hungry the only thing you have had in the past two days are slim fast bars. Let's go the buffet".
The Sheffield family sat the big round table in the middle of the restaurant with the exception of Brighton. The family was waiting for him, and Maxwell was a little worried, he was only 12 years old.
Fran and Val were waiting to get a seat in the restaurant. When they say a blonde boy pushing past everyone claiming that his family was inside waiting for him. Val told Fran that she had to go to the little girls room and that she will meet her inside the restaurant.
"Fran for two" The waitress said. Then Fran asked the little boy "My friend went to the bathroom so you can be in my reservation and get into the restaurant." Brighton looked her up and down and replied "No objections here!"
Fran laughed as they walked into the restaurant looking for his family. Fran then asked the boy. "What's your name?" "Brighton and thanks for helping me."
He replied shaking her hand. She chuckled and said, "Well, I'm Fran and I am happy to help you".
Brighton found his table and said, "Dad, I finally made it and look what I brought," he said showing Fran, then continuing, "She helped me find you guys". Maxwell got up from the table and said "Well thank you. My name is Maxwell Sheffield and these are my kids Grace, Maggie and you already met Brighton." Miss Fine smiled at all the kids as Maxwell continued, "…this is my business associate C.C. Babcock and this is Niles an old friend and our Butler".
Fran laughed then asked then examined the question carefully "What? No, Nanny?" Maxwell laughed then said "We do have a Nanny but she has a bit of a flu so she could not have made it. Fran realized that she hasn't introduced herself "Well, I am Fran, Fran Fine."
Maxwell looked her up and down and thought, "Yes, you are very fine, Miss Fran" He smiled to himself then asked "Would you like to join us?" Fran then shrugged and the children all smiled and asked her politely if she would. But C.C was the first to make a negative remark.
"I am sure, Miss Fine is busy. She must have other friends. Or she could be a loner." Niles quickly whispered to her "Well you do know what that's like."
Fran smiled sarcastically at C.C and said "Yes, I do a have friend she is just in the little girls room. I have to get going the buffet line is going quickly and my mother has two rules, 1: Never mistake hair spray for spray on deodorant, trust me she learned that the hard way and 2: Eat as much as you want at a buffet, 'cuz its free." The Sheffield family smiled just as Fran continued "Well, I see my friend Val now. I have to go. It was really nice meeting you all, have a great cruise."
As Fran walked away from the table the family began to talk about her. Grace looked at her father and said, "She was really nice". And the rest seem to agree, except for Miss. Babcock. "I don't think she was. She was totally inappropriate." Maxwell then said, "Oh come on C.C, she seemed perfectly normal except for that voice, it was truly interesting and different".
Maxwell got up and waited in the buffet line while thinking about Miss. Fran Fine. She was beautiful, smart and funny. As quick as a flash of lighting he remembered her. This woman could have been his nanny. Many more things ran through his mind like did he make a mistake not hiring her? As he kept on thinking about his first encounter with her, he never knew that their would be many more.
