Niles held his eyes tightly closed. He knew in an hour the alarm

clock was going to go off signaling the of a new day. He wanted to

return to his dream until…

"Nil…" A deep female voice mumbled softly and snuggled his bare chest.

Deep joy overflowed in his heart. "It wasn't a dream" He whispered

softly remembering the night before. It had started out in a battle

royal with both of them fighting in front of Mr. And Mrs. Sheffield.

His hand ran down her naked back and lightly touched her bare rear.

"Niles!" C.C. was awake now with a devilish smile. "That was some

wake up call bell boy!" She purred in his ear as her hands started to

roam his naked form. "Are you ready for another go?" She giggled

softly in his ear.

"C.C" Niles groaned as he felt her hands once again explore his body.

"I have to get up for work." His mind focused on the agreement he had

forced her to make earlier in the night after they had made love for

the second time.

"Let us keep this quiet." His hand stroked her cheek softly looking

into her eyes deeply.

"You don't think we will make it do you Hazel?" C.C. had a look of

worry and fear in her face.

"Well trollop with your reputation one can never know." Niles teased

her softly while kissing down her jaw line. "I have always loved your

neck" his kisses became more forceful.

"Nileeess… Can we get back on track here? You really want to lie to

Maxwell and Nanny Fine?" C.C. tried to stop the moan that came in a

whimper from the back of her throat. "Wouldn't that be wrong?"

"Or fun!" Niles couldn't help his desire he had waited twenty years

for C.C. to be in his bed now that he had her nothing was going to

stand in the way. Niles knew that Fran had a way of butting in. "I

like a good chase besides it will be our secret. " Niles felt

something pulling at his heart. It was his natural instinct to

protect this love. He shifted his so he hovered over her.

"Niles.." She moaned grabbing him pulling his chest towards hers.

"I should try and sneak back to my apartment." C.C. was saying this

but her body was pushing hard against his. "I do not have a change of

clothes handy."

"Ooo.. Caca I surely have a pair of boxers you can borrow!" He got up

quickly as a pillow was thrown across the room.

"I loathe you!" C.C. growl at Niles who was heading for the shower.

Niles quickly turned back around and picked up a giggling C.C.

"You need to have better manners Caca. You sure do have a dirty

mouth on you this morning." Niles grin looking down at her naked body.

"Niles!" C.C. held back a scream almost forgetting she was in

Maxell's home. Niles pulled her inside the running shower.

"Now now remember our promise would hate for anyone to wake up and

find you here." Niles teased putting her two feet down on the shower

floor while forcing her body up against the shower wall.

"Slime" She groaned as the shower rained hot water over both naked

forms. She could feel Niles's hands run down her legs spreading them

apart lightly.

"Chicken" He moaned and roughly forced himself inside her warmth. He

leaned down and took her whole nipple inside his mouth sucking it.

Niles knew he didn't have much time left before the work day but he

had to get his fill of C.C before facing the Sheffields downstairs.

C.C's legs locked around his waist forcing Niles to thrust even deeper

inside her. The water made the act of making love in the shower tricky

at best has Niles grabbed onto a towel bar to gain more force.

"Niles don't stop." She whispered softly her body was shaking madly

from his control and the force. She could feel the imprint of the

shower being made on her back.

He tried to hold back his release as long as he could but the madness

of it all was too much. "So sweet" He moaned softly. "How am I going

to keep my hands off you know?" He whispered softly in her ear making

her shiver with delight.

"I think this rules out me heading back to my place!" C.C. held him

tightly. "What am I going to do wearing the same set of clothes as I

wore last night?" She groaned softly thinking of the promise she made.

"I am sure you'll think of something witch. I bet you have a few

spells left to weave over the Sheffields'." Niles took the shampoo to

his hair and then ran his fingers down in hers. "Besides I know of a

few spells you wove on me last night." He growl playfully.

"You really don't want to make it to work today?" She giggled softly.

C.C. went inside Maxwell's as quickly as she could. C.C. couldn't

help but glow and grin from ear to ear. It was worth all the pain and

suffering coming back. C.C. barely heard Nanny Fine talking to her.

"Aren't those the same clothes you had on yesterday?" Nanny Fine

walked over offering her one of Maxwell's cookies

"Ermmm Yes.. " C.C. mumbled a few words. "When I find something I

love I always buy two and wear it the next day! Haven't you ever

noticed?" C.C.'s voice cracked abit under that lie.

"Nooooooooo!" Fran's nasal voice thundered in the room.

"Get used to it! It's going to start happening a lot!" C.C. hid the

giggle and joy in her voice. She told the Sheffields of Andrew

Webber's wish to rent the theater. from Maxwell. Then C.C. started to

tune out the rest of the conversation. Maxwell soon walked out yelling

"I want our pictures side by side in the paper so everyone can see I'm

the pretty one." Maxwell tilted his head back to show off his pretty

boy side to Fran and C.C. Fran quickly followed behind him.

As Fran and Maxwell walked out of his office C.C. found a chance to

walk outside where Niles was watering plants. Niles turned his eyes

towards her as she looked him up and down in a dream state. C.C. felt

drops of water on her shoulder.

"HEY!" C.C. jumped and ran back a bit.

"Awww it's only going to melt you Caca." Niles had the same glowing

with a smile that was breaking his face in half. He pulled her into

his arms and kissed her soundly along the neck.

"Niles it's going to be hard to keep this quiet if you are

always…..doing .. That.." C.C. giggled allowing her hands to roam up

and down his back.

"I can't help it C.C. you have a habit of putting me under your

spell" He blew his hot breath down his neck.

RINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG! The phone rang loudly.

C.C. sighed softly. "Work calls lover." C.C. opened the doors and

headed back inside the office.

"C.C. Babcock here that do you want?" C.C. was annoyed anything that

pulled her out of Niles's arms had better be good.

"Well hello Kitten!" Stuart Babcock's warm voice filled her ears.

"What a way to answer your cell!" Stuart laughed lightly

"Sorry Daddy I didn't expect…" C.C. felt Niles hands lightly pinch

her rear and she jumped up.

"Everything alright Kitten?" He heard her surprise cry.

"Yes just a rat came by." C.C. eyed Niles carefully as he kept on

dusting the office.

"Was wondering if you remembered that I was coming this next week?"

Stuart handled two plane tickets carefully.

"Yes, Yes I was wondering why you wanted Mother to come along?" C.C.

knew her parents had rarely spoken at least in any polite terms.

"It's just important kitten trust me. Invite Maxwell and Fran if you

want! " Stuart felt that this night was going to be trying enough on

C.C. She needed her friends by her side. "And Kitten invite Niles

please."

C.C. looked at Niles and he quickly turned around looking deeply into

her eyes trying to read her. "Yes daddy I'll send Niles to pick you up

Monday afternoon."

C.C. hung up the phone with a sigh. "I totally forgot about this."

She pulled her hair behind her ears. "Daddy is coming next week and

is having some kind of family get together. He invited Nanny Fine and

Maxwell for some odd reason. Now he's added your name to the invite

list." C.C. moved closer towards Niles.

"Maybe he just wanted to make sure I brought your dog leash along? "

He teased grabbing her and dragging her into his arms.

"Or the toilets are nice and cleaned." She teased back. "My god do

you think he knows?"

"My dear Caca how could he we only introduced ourselves to each other

toys last night!" He nibbled her neck again as the door flew open the

pair pushed themselves apart quickly.

"Servant!" C.C. snarled

"Witch!" Niles growled back

"Bell Boy!"

"Niles! C.C. stop it! C.C. have you called the blasted papers yet?"

Maxwell walked back to his desk.

"ermm No…" C.C. was about to walk out of the room as Fran walked in

the doorway.

"O! Miss Babcock, Stuart just called to make sure Maxwell and I are

coming to the party Monday." Fran's still had a playful look.

"Great…Just great" C.C. wouldn't even let Nanny Fine bug her today

what ever her father was planning it would not spoil her happiness.

C.C. walked out of the room and Fran turn towards Niles. "Stuart

wanted to make sure we took you along too Nyles as a guest." Fran eyed

him carefully.

"Are they getting out the Babcock family spell book that night?"

Niles grinned leaving the room.

"Oi" Those two have no idea?" Fran looked towards Maxwell.

"That we know? Of course not darling. I just wish I could get some

work out of them. You would think they had never engaged in this

behavior before." Maxwell growled.

"Let them have some fun Max anyway…What? ."

"Never mind darling" Maxwell's face soften looking at his pregnant wife.

Fran who was carrying a large envelope started to tell Max about her

grandmother's letters.

C.C. made a few phone calls but started to realize that this was

silly. Maxwell and her didn't even have a play line up yet. C.C. let

out a heavy sigh " never mind Gregory I will give you a call back when

I have something solid." C.C. heard the phone click once. "I will

talk to you later Gregory." C.C. Clicked over

"Cathy Claudia where have you been!" B.B.. voice as almost screaming

in her ear while C.C. rolled her eyes.

"Hello Mother, I take it you heard from Daddy?" C.C. couldn't help

but roll her eyes at her mother not even getting her names correctly.

"What is your father planning! He's invited D.D. and she's nothing

more than a misfit! He's forcing me to attend this social gathering!"

C.C. held back laughter. She knew her father held a lot of B.B.

accounts in trust since they divorced. "Mother we all have to grin

and bare it."

"He's up to something!"

He's not the only one. C.C. looked around trying to see if Niles was

coming up behind her. "Mother I have to go I have a lot of things to

get done today."

"Yes you do!" She hadn't seen him despite looking around the living

room. Niles held her from behind and nibbled softly on her ear.

"C.C. who is that?" B.B. growled.

"I have to go now mother my date is here." C.C. hung up the phone and

turned around to face Niles.

"Your date?" Niles gushed with pleasure. "How much do I have to pay

your pimp?"

"Watch it dust pan. Since Maxwell gave you the rest of the day off

lets sneak away to my place."

"O Babs I like the way you think" Niles headed towards the kitchen

and escape with C.C. The pair enjoyed the rest of the week in and out

of one another's arms. At times Niles would stay at C.C.'s place

other times C.C. managed to sneak upstairs and spend the night in

Niles's bed. For the first time C.C. felt like she was in a stable

relationship which made the up and coming party more worrisome. C.C.

at last had the courage to talk to Niles about it the day before her

father's arrival.

"I don't like it Niles." C.C. wrapped her legs around his body sighing softly.

"Your father has never given you reason to worry before?" He stroked

her cheek carefully.

"He's inviting Mother so it has to be big."

"I will be there. Don't worry C.C. nothing will happen to you."

Niles fought back a strong desire to spit out the words he been

meaning to say. Nothing will happen to you because I love you more

than anything C.C. Babcock always have. From the first moments I saw

you walk inside the door twenty years ago.

"We should sleep you have to get daddy early tomorrow from airport

tomorrow " C.C. felt his hands roaming over

"Yes we 'should' sleep. Niles teased as he grabbed her forcefully for

another round.

The morning came to quickly. He quickly set up the Sheffield's

breakfast and went to the airport to pick up. Niles pulled up in the

pick up zone.

""ey Mister." Niles looked into the girl's eyes.

She had to be at least seventeen. She had blonde hair with hazel

eyes. Her face reflected an inner fire that could burn the whole city

of New York down in a matter of moments. She wore an outfit that would

be considered gothic. Niles had seen Fran walk out the door during her

dating phase. He also noticed her long blonde hair had a blue streak.

"Yes Miss?" Niles had the feeling she reminded him of someone.

"Are ya 'ere for Babcock?"

"Good! I'm with him Jeeves." she pushed past him to open up the door

of the limo

"Pardon me miss?" Niles was shocked but he noticed Stuart Babcock

walking up with a few suitcases. Niles quickly let go of the girl and

helped Mister Babcock.

"I am sorry Niles. I didn't tell C.C. I was bringing a guest."

Stuart gave Niles a strong and firm handshake. He looked deeply into

Niles's eyes. It could be. I should contact Maxwell this afternoon.

"Ellen come here please!" He looked back inside the limo.

"Coming Babcock!" She hoped back outside with a bright smile her

mental jewelry gave out bell sounds when she hoped outside the limo

"Ellen meet Niles!" Stuart carefully eyed the pair and took the

baggage from Niles putting it inside the limo

"ahhh So yer name isn't Jeeves after all?" She smiled and Niles

noticed her tongue piercing and shivered.

"No Miss Ellen I am please to meet you." He took her hand and gave an

odd bow towards the girl. "Are you a friend of Mister Babcock?" Niles

now felt C.C.'s worries come back to haunted him.

"Well you see" She started and Stuart Babcock walked back around the Limo

"That's enough Niles." Stuart grinned. I am sure you can question the

girl later. While I get my hands on B.B. for this mess.

Niles tried to remain focus on the road ahead but he felt a storm

hovering over head. He noticed in the mirror Stuart Babcock was

showing Ellen a photo album and the girl was giggling. He couldn't

hear the whisper talk. He noticed the big grin on Stuart's face.

Surely the girl wasn't some lover? I know the Babcocks would die

before they would see him involved with some teenager. Just like they

would die before they see me …. He couldn't finish that thought. He

knew what most of the Babcock family thought about getting involved

with the help.

Niles walked inside C.C.'s door with a sigh.

"Where is daddy?" C.C. looked behind Niles her face now full of worry.

"You better sit down." Niles let out a deep sigh and lead her to the

living room.

Niles filled C.C. in on the odd meeting. "So they are at a hotel

now?" C.C. blinked trying to picture her father anywhere near a punk

rock teenager. "Niles you don't think?"

"I'm not sure witch but I know at this party we are both going to

find out." He let out a long sigh and took C.C. into his arms for a

soft and loving kiss

Maxwell had been expecting Stuart Babcock. Since the day he found

Sarah's letter it had sent his world upside down. He wasn't even

involved in the tale but to length someone would go to 'protect' a

daughter that had been clearly an adult at the time was beyond him.

"Stuart!" Maxwell rose up and took his hand firmly. Maxwell took his

hand firmly and smiled. "I trust the reason your having this party

tonight is that you found what you are looking for?"

"Yes Maxwell I can't believe it. Thanks to Sarah the trail wasn't

hard to follow. I don't know what we would have done without your

late wife." he smiled softly at him.

"Well yes. I still can't believe what I read." he sighed softly

taking a sip of his drink. The hotel bar was comfortable enough for

this pre-battle talk.

"Well I have enough to burry B.B. for good. I am worried how they

will take all this. I can't believe you haven't told Fran." He sighed

softly

" It wasn't easy let me tell you."

Stuart noticed Ellen walking outside towards the park avenged

shopping. "Ellen come here child!" He lead her over and smiled

Maxwell blinked looking at her.

"Maxwell Sheffield this is Ellen Storm." Stuart couldn't help but

feel proud the girl had dropped her punk rock for something less

risky.

"My god you look just like your parents." Maxwell let the comment slip out.

"Why thanks!" She grinned and turn towards Stuart. "Hey Babcock I'm

going to go get this dress. I know, I know something tasteful" She

grinned. "I'll make sure to have my dress armor plated as well"

"Yes Darling that would be helpful." He couldn't help but smile at

the teenager.

"Nice to meet you Mister Sheffield! I am sure I'll be seeing ya at

the party. It should be fun going after the dragon lady tonight"

Ellen ran off with Stuart's credit card in hand.

"She knows the whole story?" Maxwell turned towards Stuart.

"Yeah you don't send someone to face B.B. without arming them first."

Stuart sighed.

"Yeah what about C.C. and Niles? " Maxwell couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I know Maxwell you wanted to tell them about Sarah's letter. You

did the right thing coming to me first. We both know C.C. wasn't in

the best of health, and Niles had just had his heart attack. We had

to find hard proof of B.B.'s miss deeds.

"Well after tonight it will no longer be a secret will it?" Maxwell sighed

"No and hopefully both of them will forgive us for keeping them in

the dark for so long." Stuart sighed looking down at his drink and

taking the copy of Sarah's letter out of Maxwell's hand

"I'll see you tonight Stuart." Maxwell took Stuart's hand and walked

outside hailing a cab for the ride home.

Niles walked back inside the kitchen he of course was an hour late.

"O damm." He sigh looking at the time.

"It's okay Mista I called out for dinner tonight." Fran an ordered

the kids the basic Chinese take out. "Max didn't want you to cook

tonight."

"I guess I better go change." He noted Fran's outfit was loose

fitting for once. "Giving the twins a rest?"

"Oi they been bugging me now for two days. I think Maxwell did a few

back flips when I bought this gown" Fran was wearing a classy red and

white gown. It didn't highlight her normal curves for once but didn't

make her look too pregnant which was a hard thing to do. "Do you have

any idea what is going on tonight?"

"No"

Fran gave Niles a look of shock.

"I know for once I have no idea what is going on in this house. It

shocks me too. I do know that Mister Babcock is bringing some

teenager along."

"Realllly?" Fran blinked looking at him.

"Yes I better go get ready for the annual Babcock royal rumble." He

went quickly up the back stairs.

Maxwell walked quickly into the kitchen putting down his now empty

brief case. "Wow darling you look smashing!" Maxwell kissed his wife

soundly.

"Okay what's wrong?" Fran said in a quiet voice.

"Nothing darling!"

"You haven't yelled at me about the letters today. In fact you been

really quiet! Why?" Fran held him still while Max was looking for his

escape.

" I need to go get ready for this party."

"Yeah I know you do. It takes you all of ten minutes to get ready.

Now talk to me Huuuuuney" Fran let out her nasal whine.

Maxwell sighed softly. "Listen darling tonight is going to be hard on

the people we care about. It's important we get there early." Maxwell

gave her a deadly look

"What's going to happen?" Fran was worried.

"Everything…Something. I am going to get ready and we will leave."

Maxwell headed up the stairs.

"What about Niles?" She asked softly but Maxwell didn't hear her "Oi

this can't be good." She sighed going to answer the door that had to

be the children's dinner.

Maxwell had hired another limo driver for the eve allowing Niles the

total night off. Niles was treated to seeing the back of the limo for

once. He couldn't wait to hold C.C. in his arms again. Both C.C. and

Niles agreed to sneak away after the party and enjoy some star gazing.

Niles shifted in his tux.

"What's wrong with you!" Fran teased him.

"O I'm just trying to picture this party now all the witches and

warlocks under one roof. They are going to eat that girl alive." Niles

growled for some reason he was worried about Miss Ellen.

"I'm sure it will all work out fine" Maxwell said so softly like he

didn't believe it himself.

Niles had never seen Maxwell deal with this much guilt since he did

the 'thing' to Fran. "Anything wrong sir?" Niles leaned over and fixed

his tie in a fatherly jester.

"Nothing old boy." The limo suddenly stopped in front of the

restaurant. "We are here shall we go in?"

Normally this restaurant was packed but tonight Stuart Babcock had

paid a small fortune to have a private party. Niles looked the place

over. He took note of D.D. Babcock who was the new outcast of the

clan. C.C. seemed to still call her but supposedly B.B. had tried to

disinherit her because of her love affair with some rock singer. He

was on her arm and looked almost respectable.

"Good evening Niles" D.D nodded towards Niles with a small smile.

Seems like being disinherited agreed with D.D.

"It is a pleasure to see you again Miss Babcock" He smiled softly and

took her date's hand.

"Hallo Mate! You can call me Eric" He winked at Niles and D.D. blushed.

If D.D. Babcock could love surely C.C. loved him! He looked over to

notice Noel had entered the room and D.D. went over to hug her brother

tightly. Stuart walked over and took his son's hand while everyone

noticed C.C.'s appearance.

C.C. was wearing a silver gown that showed off her tight curves along

with a matching jacket. Niles groaned softly wishing that they could

run back to her penthouse now rather than later. One by one C.C's

siblings hugged her tenderly and she managed a smile for her father.

"Where's this girl?" C.C. tried to hold back her growl.

"Now Kitten let's wait until your mother gets here to start tonight's

events shall we?" Stuart could feel his daughter's eyes on him. So

like her mother quick to anger but unlike her mother she had a soft

center. "Please kitten trust me on this?"

"Alright daddy." Damm he could always make me back down from my anger.

"This better be GOOD Stuart!" B.B. walked inside the restaurant

growling. She came in dressed in black while all the Babcock siblings

shivered.

"Now now B.B." Stuart smiled. " Think your investments are doing

wonderfully this month and if you would like to keep it that way

you'll take a seat." He waved towards the table

"What are they doing here!" B.B. pointed at Eric, Niles, Max and Fran.

"I invited them. Now be a good little hell cat B.B. and sit down."

Stuart's tone was demanding leaving no room to fight him this time.

Niles and C.C. manage to sit together. C.C. ran her hand down his

leg and he shivered. "witch" He whispered softly in her ear trying to

look disinterested in her but couldn't help his eyes.

B.B. was making note of Niles and C.C. and looked back towards

Stuart. "Well what is it? You damm well ruined my planed evening by

holding this event" B.B. didn't want to see this. She had one

daughter dating some rock star and now C.C. looked like she was

lusting after the butler…..again.

"Now that we are all here I would like to read something to you."

Stuart stood up and put on his glasses.

"What is it dad?" Noel was not interested he had never seen his

father look more serious.

"A letter written by Sarah Sheffield to her husband Maxwell." Stuart

tried to force cold words in his voice that showed no anger while Fran

held Maxwell's hand tight. "This letter was written some eight years

ago. I thank god Sarah had the foresight to read it or we would never

know……SIT DOWN B.B." Stuart's eyes lit up in a fit of anger while C.C.

became fearful for some unknown reason and took Niles's hand under the

table.

"I will not stand for this Stuart!" She tried to gather her things to leave.

"You sit there and keep your mouth shut!" Stuart quietly roared

"Oi this isn't going well" Fran mumbled to Max

"Shhh darling" Max sighed softly

B.B. took her seat slowly only after the threat of seeing herself in

a poor house would drive her back to that table.

"Now ..as we all know C.C. and Sarah had been old friends, and I

think she was one of the few people my C.C. opened up to." Stuart turn

back to the letter. " I think I'll let Sarah explain why we are all

here." He cleared his voice while everyone prepared.

My Darling Maxwell,

I still can't believe it! C.C.'s a mother and Niles is a father! I

know what you are thinking my darling but I have to be upfront. I was

contacted today by Michael Storm who was looking for information

regarding B.B. Babcock. I questioned Mister Storm about why he wanted

to get a hold of Mrs. Babcock and he was really vague at first. Love I

went to meet the man. I know I have always been protective of C.C.

,but the man had a desperate weak tone. Max I had a lunch meeting with

him and faced two desperate parents, Maxwell it was awful. B.B. had

been blackmailing them with taking their daughter away. I was

shocked! How could B.B. take a child away from it's parents? I begged

them to tell me. Samantha Storm was at first worried that I would go

running to B.B. but I vowed on the love of our children I would never

speak of this as long as I lived. So the Storms started to tell me

what little of the story they knew. Love if you recall when C.C. had

been working with you for three years she went missing for ten months.

During that time C.C. was put inside a mental hospital and gave

birth to a baby girl. B.B. took the girl and handed her over to the

Storms. The Storms, a wealthy family from the Midwest could afford

B.B.'s price for a child. Michael had to turn over shares of Stuart's

company in order to receive the child. Michael and Samantha both

wanted a baby so badly Max! I am not saying what they did was right

but I can understand it to a degree! Michael had paid a few private

eyes later to find out the child was C.C.'s . He also found out from

an old orderly that C.C.'s name wasn't even on the hospital's records.

She was listed under Chloe Ciara Smith. It took a while for him to

match up C.C. Babcock with Chole Ciara Smith but the medical records

ended up being a perfect match. I saw them Maxwell somehow the Storms

had both files in front of them. C.C.'s blood type and Chole's down

to height and weight at the time. I who know C.C. better than anyone

would have heard about her having a baby. Michael filled me in on the

fact the did shock therapy on her! O Maxwell I think B.B. was trying

to have them screw with her brain so she wouldn't remember anything.

I still remember after C.C. came home from her long trip. Do you

remember love? She didn't seem to know if she was coming or going. I

know your next question Maxwell how do I know Niles is the babe's

father? I never told anyone this but I found them in his bed together

after C.C. and I came back from our old college get together. You

recall Niles was so drugged up on pain medicine from the fall he took.

I wasn't totally sure until the Storms showed me the child's picture.

She has Niles's smile and C.C.'s good looks. I offered to help the

Storms fight off B.B. with great guilt. I have my word love that I

wouldn't speak about this to anyone as long as I lived. If you are

reading this Maxwell I am no longer bound by that promise. So my love

I am begging you to help them!

All my love,

Sarah

Fran's mouth was hanging wide open looking between Niles and C.C.

then back up to Stuart and Maxwell who now stood up. Niles looked

strange but C.C. looked badly pale all the sudden. B.B. wanted to run

out of the room roaring madly.

"I found this letter some time ago Niles… C.C… I'm sorry I wanted to

tell you both right then and there but…. You had your heart ache old

boy.. And then C.C. ended up at …" Maxwell's voice failed him just

then as B.B. stood up

"All damm lies!" B.B. got up to head towards the door. The company

at the table was in shock no one moved.

As B.B. was about to make her escape for good a young woman stood in

the door way. She had washed out the blue streak in her hair and was

wearing a gown that would put any teenage boy to drooling over her.

She looked like a younger version of C.C. but the eyes clearly a gift

of her father's

She laughed looking at B.B. shocked face. "Now now dragon lady! Don't

go running off on my account" The girl put both her hands up on B.B.'s

shoulder and slowly pushed B.B. back towards the dinner table with a

wicked grin.

"I…I…I.." B.B. couldn't get her words out and was forced back into her seat.

"Hallo Babcock! Did I miss the party? No one moved a muscle from the

table but Stuart managed to at last answer her." No my dear you have

wonderful timing"

In her hands she clearly had a few files and was enjoying the feel of

battle. "Now may I Babcock?" She turned towards Stuart.

"Please do" He said softly. Stuart Babcock needed to sit down. This

night was already too much for him but he looked softly up at the

teenager.

Fran couldn't pick her jaw up off the floor. She has to be at least

as old as Maggie? Maybe as old as Brighton!

C.C. managed to look up at the girl her eyes tearing now. Niles was

still holding her had but the shock hadn't worn off him yet. "who are

you?" her voice was barely a whisper looking up at Ellen.

Ellen managed a smile that was beyond her years. " I have been asking

that question over this past year. I am your daughter Miss Babcock.

If you give me some time I'll explain all of it. I promise!" Ellen

felt her own eyes start to tear up.

C.C. just blinked at the girl while the others remained quiet. Niles

felt his heart jump in his chest. My daughter! Our Daughter!
