Sometimes, I believe my best with him, is never good enough. Especially for him. Fran cascades down the stairwell from the Sheffield home. Since Maggie's marriage, Brighton's girlfriend, and Maggie still being a child, as well as Max and Fran's recent child birth. Things had pretty much been hectic around their house. Though, with moving to California, things had changed tremendously. It wasn't any better and it wasn't any worse than the home in New York, but everyone was happy.
"Darling," Max entered the foyer after returning from his newly founded office. "We need a vacation away from everything. The kids, the theater, family. Just for us, you know?"
Fran nodded as a smile had slipped slowly across her face, "It's just what we need. California has been a lot to handle since we've moved."
He placed a sweet kiss upon her lips, pulling back to look into her eyes. "The kids turned out perfect, don't you think?"
"Of course. I mean, after all... I raised them," her nasal laugh filled the room.
Max's lips met Fran's soft nose, he chuckled. "I love that laugh of yours."
She shook her head, "No you don't. Your all the time putting it down, telling others that you wish I had a different voice. Also, saying you wished the kids sounded like you," she rolled her eyes. "You really think I didn't know that's what you meant when you said that."
Fingers coursed through her now down and straightened hair. "Fran, sweetheart. I'm sorry. You should know I only joke. I love you."
The madness that had previously swept inside of her had now vanished to nothing. "I love you." A smile was placed back upon her face as she stood onto her tip toes to reach his lips. Without heels, she was farther away and made it harder to reach, but he always met her so she didn't have to strain.
Fran jerked away from him as a pain coursed through her right side, like nothing she had ever felt before. "Honey,"
"What's wrong, Fran?" He held her as she supported her weight onto him. "Should I call a doctor?"
She shook her head, but of course she was going to disagree. "Max, don't call a doctor. Get me to this hospital, now." Tears slipped down her face. Unimaginable pain was moving through her fast, but she knew there was nothing anyone could do to stop it, she also knew this had been coming on awhile.
Author's Note: Well, I've not actually got to watch all of The Nanny eppys, mostly since I wasn't even born when it started. Though, I had the DVD's ordered for Christmas(: I've watched almost all of them, though. Well, I was watching Deep Throat where Fran was hospitalized for the Flu. I decided that I would throw in my own twist of something like that. Hope you enjoy(:
