A/N: Just another story I've thought up... It probably won't be updated very soon, just as a warning. You know how slow I am!

Double the Charm, Double the Butler

Chapter 1

He'd called about a week ago, telling Niles that he would be coming to visit for a few days. They hadn't talked in almost a year, so the call was odd when Niles received it.

"Hello?" He answered, finding it odd that his private line was ringing, especially in the middle of the day.

"Hello, brother!" The man on the other line exclaimed, and Niles immediately recognized it as his twin brother.

"Hello, Daniel." Niles was less than enthusiastic.

"I'm going to be in town for a few days next week and thought I'd visit my older brother."

Niles chuckled half-heartedly. He really didn't want his brother to visit. He sighed, "Alright, Daniel. What days are you coming?"

He'd warned Maxwell about the arrival of his brother, and Maxwell was excited to see his old friend. Fran had been informed, as well as the children, so with the whole house knowing it was bound to make its way to CC, who insisted on being at the mansion while Daniel was visiting, and conveniently needed a place to stay because her apartment was being fumigated. To which Niles dryly responded, 'It won't work, if you are already gone.' The day of Daniel's arrival had... arrived, and the whole 'clan' was in the living room, waiting for the door bell. When it finally rang, Niles slowly moved to get to it.

Opening the door, Niles was greeted by his brother with a fierce hug. "Hello! Oh my, Niles! You look just as handsome as ever." He winked, and the whole clan gasped as they realized why Daniel had made the joke.

"I thought you said he was your younger brother." Fran stared at the identical men.

Daniel smirked, "I am. By two minutes."

Niles nodded, and seemed a little uncomfortable with the situation. Quickly, he began to introduce Daniel to all of the clan, starting with Maxwell, Fran, and the children. When they reached CC, Niles couldn't get a word in before Daniel was exclaiming, "And just who is this lovely lady?" He kissed the top of her hand, and smirked as she blushed.

Niles dropped flatly, "CC Babcock. And her face is up here." He waved his hands around CC's face, pulling Daniel's attention away from her body.

Daniel merely smirked flirtatiously and replied, "Yes, that's beautiful too." And lead her to the couch to sit down next to him, Niles on his other side. The three men reminisced for a while about their childhood until Daniel asked Maxwell, "And Fran used to be your nanny?"

Maxwell nodded, "Yes. She is now, however, my beautiful wife." He smiled, and the two made lovey eyes at each other.

"Niles," Daniel began, looking at his brother, "What was the name of the one young cat that you made eyes like that over?"

Niles sighed, clearly unhappy, and responded, "Molly. Her name was Molly."

Daniel nodded, "Yes, yes! Molly... That was one beautiful gal, wasn't she?"

Niles nodded, but said nothing.

"How serious did you two get again? Pretty serious, correct?" Daniel asked Niles, and the whole family watched, noticing something wrong with the usual snappy butler.

Niles sighed and flatly replied, "We were engaged."

Daniel nodded, "Yes... Yes. She was lovely."

Niles nodded, "She was. Until you stole her away from me."

Daniel shook his head, smiling. "I did no such thing. She was needy, and upset with you. I merely comforted her."

Niles glared, "In my bed?"

The whole family watched the scene unfold silently.

Daniel shrugged, chuckling lightly, "Please. It was our room."

Niles shook his head, standing up. "It was my fiancé." He spit bitterly.

Daniel stood up as well, getting irritated. "She loved me."

As soon as Niles' eyes heated up, Fran jumped in between them. "Boys, boys... Niles, why don't you get us some drinks from the kitchen?"

"Yes, brother." Daniel smugly told him from the couch, "Please do buttle." He spat at his brother, and Niles silently walked into the kitchen.

CC glanced at her enemy, knowing something was wrong. But why wouldn't there be? The man was a jerk! He not only stared at her body like it was a snack when he'd only know her a few seconds, but then, he cut Niles down for his place in life! Only she was allowed to do that. Quickly standing, she threw out that she would help him, and entered the kitchen. Despite the surprised looks on the Sheffields' faces.

Niles turned at the sound of the door swinging, and quickly wiped his face as he saw her standing there. "What do you need, Miss Babcock?"

CC looked at him skeptically, "Were you crying?"

He shook his head, smiling and keeping his eyes drawn to the drinks he was preparing. "Don't be ridiculous, why would anything be wrong?"

She touched his arm lightly, and he looked up at her. Softly, she spoke with pure concern in her eyes. "You were crying. Your brother's a jackass."

He chuckled, "You're telling me."

Her brow furrowed, "What else is the problem?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your brother. There's something else than Molly, I can tell."

He shrugged, "My brother is... We're twins, obviously. But I was born before him... Two minute later than me, my brother is rich. And successful. He invested what money he had into stock, and here he is today. He's also a successful lawyer." He didn't know why he was revealing his childhood demons to his enemy, but she was there to listen, and didn't appear to be planning to use anything against him, so...

"Okay..."

Niles sighed, "There's a tradition in my family, that the first born son will carry on the generations of butlers... No matter what happens, the minute the boy is born, he is destined to be a butler." Niles paused, "I wanted to be the lawyer... Daniel did it just to take it from me. I'm not sure what happened when my parents were raising us, but something went wrong with him. Anything I had, he always had to have. It's still that way today. Because of a two minute difference, he's out there waiting for drinks while I'm in here preparing them." His eyes became a little teary, as did CC's.

CC's brow furrowed, "Does Molly have anything to do with that?"

Niles swallowed, "I was only..." He shrugged, "Sixteen when I was seeing Molly. When I turned eighteen, I proposed. She accepted. Then... I sat her down one night, and told her of my destiny." He paused, "She didn't want to marry a butler, so she jumped into my brother's arms. To which horribly, I discovered, he welcomed her."

CC sighed, upset at the fact that Niles had such a rough childhood. "What do you say..." She paused, sincerely wanting to help him. "I help you get something Daniel can't have?"

His brow furrowed, "What do you mean?"

CC looked into his eyes, "I really want to help you with your jerk of a brother... Really, I do." She shrugged, "I'll... play your girlfriend until he leaves. Something you have that he can't... He was obviously attracted to me, so he surely won't like it. But I mean, if you don't want to-"

She abruptly stopped talking as Niles fiercely hugged her. "Thank you." He whispered into her ear, and then he pulled away. "What do we do about the Sheffields?"

CC thought for a moment before replying, "We'll just have to play pretend for everyone. Because there's no way Nanny Fine can keep a secret."

He chuckled, "I agree. But, how do we convince them?"

Watching the door open behind him, CC grabbed Niles by the head, crashing her lips to his. Backing him into the counter, she moaned into his mouth, pressing her body as close as possible to his. It only took a split second for Niles to respond, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"Oy!" They heard Fran exclaim, and quickly pulled apart.

Breathing heavily, CC stared at Fran like a dear in headlights. "Hi, Nanny Fine!" She exclaimed, faking nervousness. "Niles was just showing me the type of dish soap he uses!" She smiled, "I seem to be having some trouble with mine."

Fran suspiciously eyed them, shaking her head, "You're gonna have ta try better than that, Missy!"

She shrugged, "Niles was choking?" She questioned.

Fran shook her head, and laughed lightly. "Don't worry, I'm happy for you two!" She smiled, "I just came lookin' for the juice. It's been a while."

Niles nodded frantically, his head still spinning from the kiss, and pointed at the tray at the end of the counter. "There." She smiled, and picked up the tray.

"Nanny Fine?" CC questioned as she turned to leave, "We're trying to keep this hush hush. So if you could...?"

Fran nodded, smiling. "Ya secrets safe with me!" And she left the room.

Niles turned to CC, "Why did you tell her to keep it quiet? We need them to know."

CC smiled, "If you tell Nanny Fine to keep a secret, there's no way it'll work."
