CC sat up in bed quickly, looking to her left to see Niles still sleeping peacefully in his white T-Shirt and shorts. She quickly jumped out of bed, ignoring the beautiful view of Central Park from her window with the orange and red leaves blowing in the wind.
It had been a month since she told Niles that she was pregnant, and yet she still had morning sickness.
Niles fluttered his eyes open to hear CC in the bathroom. He sighed, feeling horrible for her. He stood from the bed, and walked into the bathroom, pulling her hair back like he did the first night. He grabbed a wash cloth, and soaked it in cool water.
CC leaned back, resting against the wall. Niles sat down by her and held the rag to her head.
"Niles, what if something is wrong?" she asked, looking over at him, her eyes light and vulnerable and filled with worry. Niles took her hair in his hand and tucked it behind her ear so that he could see her face.
"CC, I promise nothing is wrong," he said, She smiled.
"I love you," she softly said. He smiled back at her, rubbing her cheek with his soft thumb.
"I love you, too," he said softly before standing and helping her up. He gave her a tight hug and pulled away, looking her in the eyes.
"No matter what, I will always love you," he said. She blushed slightly and he smiled.
"Hey, today is our day off, how about we go out on a date, Central Park? We could go to the Rainbow Room, my treat," he said with a smile. She smiled and nodded
"Okay," she said before rushing out of the room to change. He headed to the guest room to change into his clothes, and when he came back, the bedroom door was locked.
"CC? Why is the door locked?" he asked. He heard her voice muffled from the bathroom in her response.
"I don't want you to see me until I'm finished," she said. He rolled his eyes playfully and smiled, heading to the kitchen to get something to drink.
Twenty minutes later, he heard the door open.
"Okay, turn around and close your eyes, " he heard her say. He shrugged and did what he was told until he felt long arms wrap around him.
"Can I open my eyes now?" he asked. She smiled.
"Yes, you can," she said stepping back.
He turned around, and suddenly he couldn't feel his legs. There she stood, the girl of his dreams, wearing a beautiful icy blue and silver sweater, and dark skinny jeans with strappy stilettos that made her just his height.
"Do ya like?" she asked, spinning around to show off her new clothes that she had gotten the other day when Fran offered to go with her. He smiled. She literatly was glowing, her hair fell to her shoulders in a carelessly perfect way. Her eyes were bluer than he had ever seen because of her sweater and her skin glowed.
He embraced her in his arms.
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he said with a smile that she couldn't resist.
"I'm taking you like," she said quietly before she matched his lips to her's in a searing kiss.
"CC, you can tell me anything, I promise! Who is he?" Fran said sitting with CC at the kitchen table. She took her coffee cup in her hand and sipped it, looking at her newly acquired friend. CC looked at her with a look that said "are you serious?"
Fran sighed.
"You have to tell me who the father is! I'm going to die!" she said bouncing in her seat. CC smiled, remembering Niles' comeback for when she said that to him.
"You say it but you don't mean it," his voice echoed in her head, wishing he was here now instead of getting groceries. She smiled at the memory of their date the day before, strolling in Central Park and eating at the Rainbow Room.
"CC, you look absolutely ravishing," Niles said as they sat on a park bench, caressing her soft cheek with his hand. She smiled up at him and looked into his deep blue eyes.
"Do you want to have a boy or a girl?" she asked quietly. He sat back and looked at her in confusion.
"That was random, why?" he asked, pulling her to him as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She smiled.
"Just wondering. So what's your answer?" she asked, leaning into him and resting her head on his shoulder, looking out at the softball and baseball games playing across the open field.
"I'm not sure. The thought of a boy is nice, but to be honest, seeing a miniature you would make my heart melt," he said, running his hand through her hair.
"I'd think a mini you would be adorable," she said, her voice muffled by his shoulder. He laughed lightly which sent electricity through her.
She was torn by her thoughts from a perfectly manicured hand waving in front of her face.
"CC! CC! Are you okay?" Fran said. CC blinked several times and was pulled from her memory.
"Oh, ya," she said, looking down at her salad. Fran looked at her.
"So when are ya due?" Fran said, smiling. CC looked up at her and gave a faint smile.
"Oh, uh, March 16," she said. Fran squealed, causing CC to cover her ear.
"Oh that's so fabulous! I'm going to get the cutest clothes after we find out if it's a girl or a boy!" Fran said. CC smiled.
"Fran, I just want you to know that I'm glad you're here for me, it really helps to have a friend like you by my side. Well, other than Ni-" she stopped herself, realizing what she was about to say. Fran looked at her, her mouth ajar and her eyes wide as she leaned onto the table close to CC.
"I mean," CC said, stuttering as she tried to correct herself, but it was too late. A smile quickly spread across Fran's face.
"Oh. My. God. Niles! It's Niles isn't it!" she said. She jumped up from her chair and hugged CC. After a moment of shock, CC sighed and hugged her back.
Just at that moment Niles decided to walk in the door with a paper bag. Fran smiled brightly.
"Oh Niles, Mazel Tov! Ya gonna have a kid before I do!" she said, wrapping her arms around Niles' neck. CC stood up, a smile on her face. Niles looked at her over Fran's shoulder with confusing eyes, and she nodded.
"Thank you, Mrs. Sheffield," Niles said after she pulled back. Fran gently slapped his shoulder, a grin on her face.
"Oh, Scarecrow, I don't care what Max says, for cryin' out loud call me Fran!" she said before embracing him in another hug.
Fran pulled out a chair next to CC and sat across from them. Niles and CC sat down next to each other and looked at each other with smiles.
"So, are you two, ya know," she moved her hands over each other just like the 'personal business' Maxwell made up six years ago when Fran started working as a nanny.
Niles smiled at CC and he wrapped his arm around her waist. CC smiled back.
"Yes, Fran," he said simply. She once again squealed and leaned across the table, hugging them both.
"Oh, when are ya setting the date?" she asked, sitting back down. CC looked at her in confusion.
"What do you mean?" she asked, leaning into Niles. Fran looked at her like she was stupid.
"When are you getting married! Duh!" she said laughing.
Niles' eyes widened, knowing CC wouldn't like what she just said. Niles was about to say something when CC spoke first.
"Actually, we haven't set a date yet," she said with a smile, looking at Niles. He looked back at her, a grin present on his face after he interpreted what she had just said.
"Uh, ya," he said. Fran smiled. Niles looked at CC, with a smile, then back at Fran.
"Would you excuse us?" he said, softly pulling CC up with him and leading her out to the living room.
Fran shrugged and started to snack on a muffin on the table.
"What are you doing?" CC asked as they both sat down on the couch. He looked at her with warm eyes.
"Do you really want to get married?" he asked, resting his hand on her thigh. She smiled, slowly shaking her head yes.
"Alright," he said with a smile. Taking a deep breath, he bent down on one knee and pulled out a velvet box from his pocket. CC gasped and covered her mouth.
"Chastity Claire Babcock, would you do me the greatest honor in the world and be my wife?" he asked warmly, a boyish grin on his face. She quickly wiped a tear from her cheek and nodded, looking down a the beautiful ring he was now placing on her finger.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. He smiled and lifted her up spinning her around once before matching his lips to hers for a chaste kiss. When he pulled away, he looked into her tear filled eyes.
"I love you," he said, wiping a remaining tear from her cheek. She smiled.
"I love you too, Niles," she said.
CC gripped Niles' hand tightly as she felt the cold substance on her stomach.
"Well, it looks like everything is perfect with the baby," the young nurse said with a smile. CC sighed and relief and smiled up at Niles who stood behind her. "Now, would you like to know the gender of the baby?" the nurse asked. CC smiled up at Niles as he shook his head.
"Yes, we would," CC said with a warm smile. Niles held tightly to her hand as they saw the baby on the monitor. The nurse smiled.
"It looks like you're going to have a little baby girl," she said in a sweet voice. Niles smiled brightly and tears sprigged in CC's eyes.
"We're going to have a little girl," he whispered in amazement into her ear. She nodded and smiled, wiping the tears that broke over her eyelids.
She couldn't keep the smile off her face.
