AN: Okay, I know that there's no way Fran would have the twins right after "Making Whoopi" But just use your imagination, and believe it could happen. It's called fan FICTION for a reason. ;)

Fear Is Love

Chapter 5

The room turned silent quickly. Niles quietly asked her, still facing away, "What are you talking about?"

"Give me a second, and I'll come out and tell you." She said, matching the volume of his voice.

He left the master room and went into hers. He sat down on the bed, and waited. It wasn't long before she appeared in the doorway.

Setting the magic stick down on the desk by the door, she walked into the room. She took a deep breath, and sat down next to him.

Without looking at him, she asked, "Do you remember when you and I ate those cookies?"

"The ones that were supposed to be for Fran?"

"Yeah." She paused, "What else do you remember?"

He thought for a moment, "Us being attracted to one another... And the closet."

She smiled a small smile at the memory. "The closet." She took another deep breath. "We did it in the closet."

He nodded, "I know."

"I'm late."

"Okay."

"I could be pregnant." She looked at him, "With your child."

He refrained from smiling. "I don't want you to get offended, but..."

"I'm sure." She smiled, "It's yours."

"How?"

She laughed out loud. "If it wasn't yours, there'd already be a child."

He chuckled lightly. "I'll take your word for it."

"You should!" She smacked him playfully, despite the fact that the tension in the room was so thick.

"You think it's done?" He smiled down at her.

She shrugged, "We could check it."

"We?" He asked, surprised. "You don't want to check it yourself?"

She shook her head, "It's your child too."

Ding Dong! Ding Dong! The door bell rang loudly in the quiet mansion from downstairs.

"I'll go get it, you check it." He told her, and after kissing her forehead, he left the room.

"Niles!" Fran screamed, hugging her friend.

"Mrs. Sheffield! I thought you weren't going to be home for another few days?"

Maxwell, along with the five children entered the room. "We've come home early, Old Man."

"And oh, how great it is to be home!" Maggie exclaimed, walking in with a pink baby carrier.

Brighton followed behind with a blue one, and Gracie entered after them. She ran over and hugged Niles before sitting down on the couch.

"The blue one's Jonah." Maxwell told his dearest friend, "And the pink one is Eve's."

"Honey!" Fran scolded her husband, "I told you, you have to introduce Eve first, she's olda!"

Maxwell sighed, looking at Niles. He laughed at Fran's silliness.

Then, CC came running down the steps, nearly tripping.

"Niles! Niles!" She yelled.

"What's it say?" He asked as she came to the bottom of the steps.

The rest of the family watched in awe as CC smiled at Niles, "Look for yourself."

He took the white wand from her hand and looked at the readout:

"Positive?" He asked her, and she nodded. "We're having a baby?" She nodded again, smiling. "We're having a baby!" He yelled, hugging her, and swinging her around.

She leaned down and kissed her passionately, and after she broke away, he smiled. "Oh, CC I love you!"

Her smiled got ever bigger, if that was possible, as the tears made their way down her face. "Oh, Niles! I love you too!"

As the new couple embraced once again, Fran looked at her family. She asked, pointing,"What's up with them?"
