"You come back here, you rascals" Max said as he chased his twins. Fran had gone shopping, and left the twins in his care.Grace was helping her Dad round the twins. "They are as mischievous as their mommy." Max said. "Brighton, to, daddy." Grace said.
Max didn't know how Fran could do it. The twins had so much energy, it was hard to keep up with them. Fran comes in. she has bags everywhere, and Max runs to help her with them. Max's hair was tassled, and Fran thought it was funny. "I see Daddy has had a fun day." Fran said."Quite," Max replied.
Niles brings her packages upstairs. "Next time you shop, Francine, could it be a year or so?" Max joked. Fran laughed. "Maybe you need Slimmons, honey.' Fran joked back.
"ahhh, this is how you keep up with our twins." Max said. "Yes, dear, it helps." she said. "it is also why mommy is too tired sometimes to make love." she said.
Max hugged Fran and kissed her. "Well, atleast they start preschool soon." Max said. "Oh, yeah, that." Fran said. "francine, what is it?" Max asked.
"Well, they are my babies, I will miss them, Max." she said. "They need to know what school is like, Fran." Max said. "We could have more time for us to." he said. "I know, honey, and you are right, but I am going to hafta adjust." she said.
Max knew what she meant. She would want more children if the lonliness gets too much for her. "Fran, don't you want to enjoy your figure a while?" Max said. "yeah, honey, and I have, how do you think we got to this point?" she plays with Max. "Right." Max said, as he kisses her again.
"Cmon, honey, let's bathe the twins, and put them down for a nap, I want time with Daddy." she said. "sounds good, Fran." Max said.
They bathe the kids, and get them down for a nap. Fran and Max take a shower together, and Max gives Fran's tush a squeeze. "You are so lovely, Mrs.Sheffield." he said. "You are handsome as ever, to, Mr.Sheffield." Fran said.
"Remember how you were modest with me, Fran?" Max asked. "Yes, Max, it was after five years of torture, waiting on you, when the night finally came, I was ready, but modest." she said. "Well, it is not a big deal, I liked the mystery.'" Max said.
They made love, and took a nap as well. Fran loved being with the man she loves. Max was her boss, friend, lover, and husband now, a little of everything , but she loved him with all her heart.
She dreams of the day they met, and the first time she noticed she had taken his breath away in the red dress, just a day or two after he employed her.
Two weeks later,it was time for the twins to enter preschool. Fran didn't want to leave the school, but the twins did fine. "We will be fine, Mommy." they said. Max hugged Fran, see, darling, they are fine, come on, let's go home." he said.
Fran didn't want to leave the phone, she thought the teacher would call. "empty nest syndrome, Fran?" Max asked. "yeah." she said, crying a little." Fran, I know you love them, but they are growing up." Max said.
"My babies." she said. Max kissed her. "You will adjust, and so will they, my love." Max said. Max knew he needed something to take her mind off of things. He kisses her, and picks her up and carrie her to the bedroom. They make love, and recall their lives up to this point.
Fran was glad to have the time with Max. Max enjoyed it to. He would catch her getting sad again, and tickle her, making her laugh. They took a shower together, and were dressed. Time flew by, and the twins were soon home from their first day of preschool.
"My babies, how was school?" Fran ran up to them and hugged them. "Real good, mommy, look, we made you something." they said in unison. Jonah hands his mommy a picture, "there is daddy, and you, and Eve and I, and Brighton, and Maggie and
Grace."
Eve gave her mommy a picture. She drew the sky and the sun, a house, and a tree. "Oh, my babies first refrigerator pictures." Fran said. "Mommy missed you two today, I am glad you had fun." Fran said.
Max came into the room. "Daddy!" the twins ran up to him. They show the pictures to him and tell him about their day." Wow, you two had fun, didn't you?" Max asked. "We sure did, daddy." "We can't wait for tomorrow." they said.
Max had one child in each arm. Fran loved the way Max took interest in the twins. He was a proud daddy. Jonah was beginning to look more like his daddy each day. Eve looked like Fran.
"Go see Uncle Niles, he has a snack for you." Max said. "Oh, boy!" they both run into the kitchen. Fran and Max were happy how the kids first day went. "Max, I have some news for you." Fran said.
"I am pregnant." she said. "Fran!"" how long have you known?" It was confirmed yesterday." she said. "I wanted to wait for the twins to come home from their first day at school, and we could share in the joy of it." she said.
"Max kissed her. "Here we go again." he said.
