Notes: This is a short and amusing story about my favorite couple Fran and Maxwell. I hope you will enjoy your reading and I would be hapoy when you leave a comment or kudos if you like the story.
Nanny and wife!
Peep Peep Peep. A hand fumbled along the nightstand and thumped the alarm clock with vigor. Yawning, Maxwell rose in bed, stretched his arms and rubbed the last sleep from his eyes. His gaze fell on the figure beside him. Nestled deep in pillows and blanket laid his wife, her face half obscured by a mass of dark curls. He bent over her, gently stroking the hair from her face and tickled her with his nose. "Mhhh grrrr!" she grumbled. She turned on her other side and tucked herself deeper into the pillows. Maxwell grinned. He knew Fran needed her time to wake up. He snuggled close to her warm body, started kissing her neck, nibbling on her ear. "Fraan! Darling! I know you're not asleep anymore." He kissed the spot behind her ear. "Mhhh Maax!" Fran's eyes snapped open. Her husband just knew her too well. She turned to face him. A fierce liplock erupted. His hands caressed her back, she massaged his hair.
Peep peep peep. That's when the alarm went off a second time. "Oyyy those things should be banned!" Maxwell climbed out of bed. Fran was just about to snuggle back in when Maxwell threw a pillow at her. "Get up darling! Don't forget, you wanted to be the nanny again so fulfill your duties." "I think we need to have a serious talk about my working conditions Mr. Sheffield." She got up, swung on a robe and gave her hair a quick straightening. Then she left the bedroom to check on the kids. "Knock Knock Maggie are you up yet?" Maggie wasn't in her room but the sounds of her hair dryer were coming from her bathroom. Fran continued to the next door. "B! Are you ready?" Brighton sat at his computer. "You're not doing homework now, are you?" "No Fran! I just need to print something out." "Ah good. See you at breakfast!" In Gracie's room everything was still dark and she was curled up in her bed. Fran was puzzled. Grace was usually up so early after all. "Hey honey what's wrong with you?" She didn't look well. Pale, her eyes small from tiredness and black circles under them. "Oh Fran! I haven't slept all night. My stomach hurts so bad. These cramps just won't stop." "My poor angel come here!" Fran took Gracie in her arms and rocked her. Her baby was becoming a woman. "How about you stay in bed today. Get some more sleep. I'll bring you breakfast later and something for the pain." Relieved, Grace sank back into the sheets.
Fran went downstairs to the kitchen. "Niles, Gracie is staying at home today. Make her a breakfast tray with every dish she likes. Oh and a pot of my herbal tea, you know." Niles sighned loudly, after Fran and Maggie now Gracie too. Fran sat down at the breakfast table with the rest of the family. "Honey, Gracie is still in bed. She's not feeling well at all. You know 'her friend'." "Oh dear, the poor thing! How is she doing?" "She suffers from pain and cramping. I'll take care of her after my meal." Brighton screwed up his face. "Don't you have other topics to talk about? I want to eat!" But one glance from Fran and his dad and he was silent. "Why does Gracie get to stay at home?" Maggie objected, "When 'my friend' showed up you said it isn't a disease and I wasn't even allowed to skip the first class!" Maggie was a little jealous. When she first got her monthly rule, they just had an old very strict nanny who had no mercy. If only Fran had been here then. Fran could tell by the look on her husband's face how uncomfortable Maggie's comment made him. He didn't like being reminded about the time before Fran showed up. "Let it go Maggie. You better tell me what time you'll be home today." "Um oh yeah it will probably be around four. I have to go to the library!"
After Maggie and Brighton left, Fran took care of her little patient. She brought her breakfast to bed, made her a hot water bottle, gave her pain killers for the cramps. Most of all, she was just there. She held Gracie in her arms , tried to calm her down and answered her questions. Eventually Grace fell back asleep and Fran quietly slipped out of the room. Only now did she get to shower and dress. She wanted to make a visit to Maxwell's office but Niles intercepted her. Brighton's birthday had to be prepared. Fran and Niles agreed that a barbeque would be the best. Together they made a shopping list. When that was done, Fran remembered she had to call Gracie's school to report her sick. After the phone call, she poured herself a cup of coffee. Exhausted, she settled down at the kitchen table. God was being a nanny, exhausting. But she wanted it that way.
However, she now preferred to fulfill her second role; Maxwell's wife! She filled another cup with coffee and headed toward the office. The door was just ajar. "Honey coffee break!" She handed her hubby a cup and hopped up on his desk. "MHH darling you can read my mind." He leaned towards her and they both kissed each other with love and passion. "MAXWELL. We've got work to do. You can perform your tongue acrobatics later." "CC, we can take a little break" Again he and Fran sank into a deep kiss. CC gave in. She wanted a coffee too and a cigarette! Fran and Maxwell were in their own world now. Maxwell stroked her legs and their kisses grew more intimate until they broke away from each other. "How's Gracie?" "Okay, right now, she's sleeping!" "I'm glad she has you. There couldn't be a better nanny for a situation like this." "Oh you think Mr. Sheffield?" she asked, laughing with a mischievous smile. Grinning, he replied "Of course Miss Fine! You know I think you are the best nanny in the world!" "Aha interesting!" Fran stepped up to him and climbed onto his lap. "But right now I'd rather be your wife!" She kissed and licked along his neck, nibbling on his ear. Maxwell wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her even closer to him. Their lips captured each other again. Fran unbuttoned his shirt and caressed his torso. He took off her blouse. His lips moved to her breast. He kissed them along her bra as he unclasped it. He pulled it off her. Fran snuggled close to his body. Rubbed her upper body against his. "I love you so much Max!" she whispered in his ear. "I love the feelings when we make love. I.. " He put his fingers on her lips. "I love you too Fran! More than I can ever tell you." His lips inched their way back to her breast. Content moans and sighs could be heard. Both forgot everything arounnd them.
"Maxwell did you AAAAAAAAAA" The two lovers startled. "CC how dare you barge in like this! Can't you knock?" Maxwell was extremely embarrassed by the scene. Fran hastily tried to cover her bare chest. She grabbed her blouse that Maxwell had thrown on the desk and held it protectively in front of her. Catching her breath, she looked back and forth between Maxwell and CC. She doubted they would have heard a knock. CC, meanwhile, had regained her composure. "I beg your pardon Maxwell! This is our office! There really are plenty of other rooms in this house if you have to be all over each other." "Excuse me! Where my wife and I want to be alone is our business!" CC had enough. "You know what Maxwell! I'm going to the theater now. You can call me when you get your hormones back under control." With those words, she slammed the door.
Maxwell and Fran hastily got decent again. "You shouldn't have yelled at her Maxwell, it was really our fault." "I know darling, but I just lost my temper. It was all rather embarrassing. And all because you're so irresistible." Tenderly, he pulled her back onto his lap. Soon they were back in their world of love and tenderness. However, this time they remained clothed. Poch poch poch! "Sorry but Miss Gracie is calling for you!" "It's okay Niles! I'll take care of her!" Maxwell was not pleased with the renewed disturbance. With regret Fran broke away from his embrace. "Sorry honey! Nanny duties!" "All right, but later you're mine!" "I promise!" and she was gone. Fran devoted the next few hours to poor Gracie, who was having one crying fit after another. She ate lunch with her alone in her room and did her best to cheer her up and distract her from her pain and sorrow. Several times later Gracie was completely exhausted and fell asleep again.
Fran walked down to the living room, exhausted. No sooner had she taken a seat on the couch, someone shouted behind her. "FRAN!" It was Brighton who needed her help. His chemistry teacher wanted to give him a punishment for cheating. "Please Fran, you have to talk to him and convince him, you know..." He whistled through his teeth. "Forget it Brighton. I'm a married woman now!" "Oh come on Fran. You're also our nanny! I really don't want to squatting in school on Friday afternoon and writing that stupid assignment!" "Alright!" Brighton beamed, pressed a kiss to her cheek and disappeared upstairs, "But I will just go to reason with him and I will not wear a short skirt!" "I hope so!" Maxwell stepped behind her and hugged her. Just as they were kissing, Maggie came home in a rage. She slammed the door and trudged toward the kitchen. "Oyyy, the next emergency!" grumbled Fran and ran after Maggie. For the next hour, Maggie cried her eyes out in Fran's arms. Her crush had been talking to another girl for a long time today and probably not about the weather. Fran tried to calm Maggie, everything probably wasn't as bad as she thought. Comforted and a lot happier, Maggie disappeared into her room. Fran was now totally tired and done. Being a nanny was tough. But at the same time she enjoyed it. She loved to be needed by the kids and actually she was proud when the kids entrusted her with all their worries and concerns. She strolled into the living room and flopped down on the couch. In no time, she was asleep.
When Maxwell found his sleeping wife he smiled at her in love. Careful not to wake her, he lifted her head and laid it on his lap. Gently he stroked her hair and enjoyed the view. He didn't wake her until Niles called for dinner. After dinner, the entire family watched a blockbuster on the Movie Channel. As Fran sat there with everyone, Gracie and Maggie snuggled up to her, she felt this was her family, her home! An incredible feeling of happiness came over her. Later, Maxwell and she were in each other's arms in the Jacuzzi. Fran straddled him. Soon they were completely absorbed in their passion and love. At that moment, Fran was completely Maxwell's wife!
