CHAPTER 5

Fran a woke the next morning, feeling terrific. She almost forgot what happened the night before until she looked over and saw Maxwell sleeping next to her. She silently giggled and scooted over to him. Careful not to wake him yet, she slid over to him and straddled him. He awoke with a start and looked at Fran. He immediately remembered the events of the night before.

"What time is it?" Max asked Fran after kissing her.

"Early about five in the morning, I just couldn't wait to see your beautiful eyes. You don't mind do you?"

"Let's see getting a wake-up call from a beautiful woman or waking up to a noisy alarm clock. I think I'll take the first one." Max said laughing as he pulled her into another kiss. "How about we pick up where we left off last night?"

"You read my mind." She said as she gently pushed on his chest and continued to pleasure him. For the next few months, they continued to date. After two years, Max was ready to pop the question. He went out to buy an engagement ring. He was taking her to the Russian Tea Room same place he took her on their first date. "I'm ready to go Max." Fran called as she came down the stairs. Max was waiting for her, as always she looked stunning. He took her to dinner and as dessert was being served, he decided that now was the perfect time.

"Fran, you have been in my life since my marriage to Sarah. Even after her death, you stayed with me to help me with take care of my children. They already think of you as their aunt and I don't want them to ever forget you. You stole something though when you came to stay, you stole a very big place in my heart. I never thought that I could ever love again after Sarah, but you proved me wrong. Fran will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Max asked as he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. Fran was completely speechless she wasn't expecting this at all.

"Of course, I will!" Fran said jumping out of her chair and at him. She tackled him to the floor kissing him passionately. He broke the kiss long enough to put the ring on her finger. For the next few months, they planned the wedding. The ceremony was to take place six months after the engagement. Everything went according to plan. Six months later, Max and Fran were husband and wife. About year after the wedding, Fran got the news that she was pregnant. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They named the boy Jonah and the girl Eve. Fran and Max finally got their fairy tale ending. The End.
