Before Max even went after her she was already making her way out the door and now she was in the kids room with the phone in hand and looking very upset. Finally some one answered, "Hello?" CC asked she was in hers and Niles bathroom in the tub that was full of bubbles, "CC put Niles on." Fran ordered, CC looked over at Niles who was on top of her kissing her neck, "He's busy." she said Fran was not in the mood to wait, "I don't care just put him on!"
CC put the phone in between hers and Niles' heads, "Hi Fran." Niles greeted "Guess who was at the theater when I went to go see Maxwell Beverly Sheffield." Fran said angrily "Uh-o you used his full name." Niles started, "and judging by the tone of your voice, I'm guessing it wasn't Barbara Streisand." Fran snorted, "Don't I wish! It was Chloe!" "No!" both Niles and CC exclaimed not believing it.
"Yes it's terrible! I'm gonna go home right now so I need you to…" Fran started but was interrupted by both Niles and CC yelling "No!" at the same time. Fran had a shocked expression on her face, Niles cleared his throat, "We mean you need to stay there to see if you can trust Maxwell, or you'll be wondering for the rest of your life, if you really can trust him." Niles hoped Fran believed him, "That's not why I said 'No.'" CC said annoyed that Fran had called at this moment.
Niles shot her a shut up look, but she ignored it and began to eat a strawberry, "Look Fran you need to prove to yourself that he loves you not Chloe you and only you." Niles continued, "But wha if he loves Chloe and not me?" Fran asked, she couldn't help but think a little negatively "Fran I know Maxwell, he loves you no one else." Niles began he wasn't ready for Fran to come home just yet, "Just stay at least one more day." Niles suggested. Fran sighed "Oh alright." just then Fran heard a door close, she looked over and saw Maxwell, "Ok he's here I gotta go." she said into the phone then hung up. "How did ya know I was here?" Fran asked him.
Max walked over to a bed that was in the room, "The children told me." Fran looked shocked and angry as she said, "Oy they are such blabber mouths!" Maxwell smiled "Just like their mother." he joked, Fran was not amused and to prove she wasn't she shot him a look that simply said, 'Shut up'
Maxwell knew he was in trouble and that he should start explaining, he took a deep breath, "Look Fran, I'm sorry but nothing is going on between me and Chloe." Fran look at him "That is not why I'm upset, that thought did enter my mind and make me mad, but what really upset me was that you didn't even tell me about her!" Max looked ashamed he should have told her but he didn't, after all he did have reasons, "Fran, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her, I just didn't want you to over react and become all Lucy Ricardo on me." he explained "When have I ever become all Lucy Ricardo on ya?" Fran thought for a second and then added "Don't answer that!"
Maxwell chuckled at his wife and then walked over to where she was sitting and helped her up, "How about I make this up to you by spending the whole day with you and only you today?" Fran's face showed uncertainty, "We'll take a walk in Central Park, eat at a beautiful restaurant." Max added but Fran still didn't know, he thought for awhile and then smiled, "Shopping." he knew that would convince her, and it did. Fran smiled back at him, "Ok!" she grabbed her purse and as she walked back to where Maxwell was he linked arms with her and said, "Come on Lucy." and then they were out the door.
Start
spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it,
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to
stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I
want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of
the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting
away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I
can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New
York, New York.

After a long day of shopping, eating, walking and much more, the couple sat on a bench in Central Park enjoy the scenery and each others company. "Oh honey I've missed New York." Fran said softly "Me too." Max responded in the same tone, they locked eyes and leaned in for a kiss when Maxwell's cell phone went off. "Ignore it." Max said almost in a whisper, and they did, and soon the ringing stopped, they leaned in more but the ringing began again.
"It might be important." Fran whispered
"Nothing is more important than you." Max whispered back, and soon the ringing stopped.
Finally they leaned in closer and kissed, until the ringing began once again, "Oh just answer it." Fran said breaking up the kiss, she was as annoyed as Maxwell was. "Hello?" Max said it to the phone with an annoyed tone, "What?" there was a pause "No I said…" another pause longer this time. Max sighed and looked over to Fran who looked at him, "Another month." Fran looked disappointed but soon hid it, "Go." she said trying to sound ok with it "I'm on my way." Max said into the phone and then hung up.
He looked over to his wife and quickly kissed her and said, "I'm sorry darling." Fran smiled, "Hey this just means the night is mine." Max smiled back, "Can't wait." and with that they walked over to get a taxi.
