"If you have a child, a son. Then where is he?" he asked. Fran took a deep breath and steadied herself.

"Well when I first found out that I was pregnant, I freaked out. I didn't have a job or my own home. And the father packed up and left town once I told him. I thought about trying to raise Joseph by myself but after a while my love for him grew to strong. I came to realize that even though I knew I would miss him forever, it would be best for him to be raised by someone else. So I made the choice to put him up for adoption. And believe me when that day came, it was hard. Spending 11 hours in labor only to hold him for five minutes then give him up forever."

Fran paused as she remembered that day. Tears threatened to escape over her eyes. Fran hung her head when the tears started to fall. Maxwell leaned over and titled her head up and wiped away the tears with his thumbs.

"Fran darling, I had no idea you went through something like that. No wonder you never liked letting the children out of your sight. Why didn't you ever tell me?" Maxwell asked, guilt rising inside of him for accusing Fran of such a thing.

"I never told you because well I never knew how to." Fran addmitted. " I've always wanted to. I'd dream about telling you and a few times I came really close to telling you but..."

"But what sweetheart?" Max questioned.

"But, oy this is gonna stupid. But I was afriad. I was afraid about how you would react, how you would think of me." Fran lowered her head so she wouldn't have to look at Maxwell.

"Darling I would never think of you any different if I had found out about your son. I love you. I'm just releaved that your not cheating on me." Maxwell sighed. Fran's head snapped up and a shocked look formed on her face.

"CHEAT ON YOU!!! Sweetie, I waited three years for you to tell me you loved me, five years to married you, and six years to have children with you. I love you with my heart and soul and no body is ever going to change that." Fran said as she leaned in to kiss him. After the kiss, Fran and Maxwell started to walk downstairs. While they were walking Maxwell thought of a question. He tried to keep it to him self but he just couldn't, he had to ask.

"Fran do you happen to know what Joseph looks like?" he questioned as they headed down the stairs.

"Well he's about 5'10" with uh brown eyes and um light brown hair. Oh and he has like a beard outlining his face." Fran said as she tried to recall what Joe looked like from the pictures she had seen.

"You mean like that?" Maxwell asked pointing over to Gracie and her friend.

"OH MY GOD!!!" Fran screamed as she looked over. "GRACIE!!!"
