It was a beautiful morning in California, as the sun was shinning through the window of Max an Fran's bedroom. As Fran woke up she rolled over and saw her most wonderful husband, Maxwell sleeping. Max felt Fran's eyes on him which woke him up with a smile on his face. "Good morning my sweet loving wife !" which Max said with a twinkle in his eye. "Oh good morning Max, you want something don't you," Fran said then winked. " Well maybe since we have not been alone for awhile now, since Eve has been having her night terrors and crawling in bed with us almost every night." Max said. Just then the twins, Jonah and Eve who are now six, ran into the bedroom and jumped into their parents arms and giving them a hug and a kiss. "Good morning mommy and daddy !" said the twins, who were going up so fast. They were already in the first grade, and Jonah as he keeps growing up he keeps looking more like Max, and as for Eve she still has her blonde hair from Sylvia,and is growing up into a beautiful young lady just like Fran. "Oh good morning children," said Max and Fran with excitement in their voices. They loved those two very much and was always happy to see them bright and early in the morning."Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Niles sent us up to get you and to tell you breakfast will be ready in five minutes, " said Jonah. "Yeah come on Mommy and Daddy, Niles fixed us a huge breakfast since Maggie, Michael, Brighton, his girlfriend Jessie,and Gracie's boyfriend Nick are all coming over for breakfast," said Eve. "Alright Daddy and I will be down in a couple of minutes," said Fran. The twins gave Fran and Max a kiss and went out the door. "Fran dear I can not believe little Grace has her first series boyfriend," Max said with a little sadness in his voice."Oh I know Max but she is 20 now and she is growing up, at least we don't have to worry about Eve for another 10 years or so," said Fran with relief. "Well I guess you are right Fran, so lets get dressed and head down to breakfast, or do you want to do it the old fashion way just go down stairs in your robe and makeup," Max said with a wink. "Oh Max!" Fran, said while she slapped Max on the shoulder, "you know me better than that, you know I don't put makeup on." She said smiling.

-------------------

As Max and Fran headed down stairs in there beautiful home, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, kitchen, dinning room, living room, an office for Max and C. C., and a playroom for the twins, Niles and C. C's five year old son Bradley, and Maggie and Michael's children, Sara Dawn, who is four, and Michael J. R. who is a year 1/2, and Max and Fran see Gracie open the door greeting her boyfriend of a year, Nick, who is 22. "Well good morning Nicholas," said Max, "how are you this morning?" Nick gave Grace a kiss on the cheek, " Well I am great Mr. Sheffield, seeing your daughter this morning made me very happy," Nick said with a smile on his face seeming he wanted more than just a kiss on the cheek from Grace. Max just gave him a smile back at him but a fake one at that, saying under his breath," You better be careful young man or you will not be smiling for long," Fran heard Max and just gave him a little nudge that told Max he better be on his best behavior. "And good morning Mrs. Sheffield, you are looking more beautiful everyday for only being 34," as Nick told Fran. As you can see Fran raised her age limit to five years, but really she is 42 but we are the only ones that know, shhhhhhh!!!. "Well thank you Nick, you have always been a charming young man." said Fran blushing. As Nick followed Gracie to the dinning room Max was very uncomfortable with Nick acting the way he did around the family. "Fran, do you really like that young man, I mean he seems well but it seems he wants to be closer to Grace than he already is." Max said with a little anger in his voice. "Now Max come on please let Grace be happy and trust me she is a smart girl she knows what she is doing," as Fran told Max while they headed to the dinning room.

------------

After breakfast, which went well since the whole family was there, Brighton went to Max and asked him if he could talk to him alone, man to man. So they went to Max's office and sat down. "What is Brighton, is there something you want to ask me?", Max looked a little concerned. "Well Dad, I knew it took you five years to make that commitment to Fran, but how did you know she was the one?" Brighton asked his father. "Well son I just knew, five years prior to that, when she walked down those stair case in that red gown, I knew I was going to have a future with Fran." Brighton was thinking and new that his girlfriend, Jessie, whom he met in Europe six years ago but only been dating for two, was the one for him. "Well Dad, I think Jessie is the one and I think I am going to ask her right now." Max got up and gave his son a hug and said, "Cheers son, I knew you loved her and today could not be any better than today,"

As Max and Brighton walked out of his office they found their ladies talking, along with Gracie, Maggie, and C.C, "Jessie, may I talk to you alone, it will not take long,"Brighton said with a smile on his face. "Max honey what is going on?" Fran asked with a confused look on her face. "Well Fran, our Brighton is turning into a man today." Max said with a cheerful voice. "OH!" said Fran, "In out house how could he!" "Well Fran it is a perfect day to do it, Oh you thought he was going to do it the thing, no, he is going to ask Jessie to be his wife." said

Max looking at Fran who had a dumb founded look on her face. "Oh, how wonderful, this is a perfect day to do it." Fran said hoping that Jessie would say yes or she would be stupid not to since she lucky to have a man like B in her life. As Brighton walked holding hands with Jessie, he looked at everybody that was in the living room, which was everybody that came for breakfast, and said,"She said YES!" Everybody cheered and hugged and congratulated Brighton and Jessie. This day could not get any better according to Fran and Max.

As the day went on, everybody left the house, well except Niles, C.C., and Bradley, since they live with Fran, Max, and the twins. While Sylvia, Morty, and Yetta lived in the guess house. Fran and Max decided to take a walk around their property, just to be alone and talk how wonderful life has been between them for the past 12 years, when Fran rang the Sheffield's doorbell, and how it was more wonderful after they were married and had the most beautiful twins. Plus, Max and C.C. television show was going into there sixth season and has won many awards. Just then as they were making there way to the back door, Gracie ran up to them. Fran and Max knew she left with Nick about two hours ago. What was she doing back already, yes she did live with Fran and Max, but she left with Nick to go shopping. As they got closer to Grace, they saw that she was crying, "Honey, what's

wrong?" Fran said looking concerned. "Is everything alright?" Max asked his daughter. "No, nothing is alright!" Gracie said with a very upset look on her face, just like it did when Fran ate her imaginary friend. "Nick and I were headed to the mall and told me that if we did not take it any further that he had to break up with me, he said a year is way to long to wait." Grace said looking at Fran who ran to her and held her tight and as for Max his face was so red, that Fran has not seen him this angry in a long time."It will be alright Grace, how about just you and me go to the kitchen and have a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and talk about it," Fran said to Grace while walking to the door. "And for you Max, how about you call this young man and tell him what we think about him now," Fran told Max as she gave him an Eskimo kiss. "Alright, sounds good to me, how about you Gracie?" as Max said on his way to his office. "I love the idea daddy, go right ahead, I will be okay knowing that my dad is taking care of it and my nanny, I mean mother is helping me feel better," Gracie said with a smile on her face knowing everything would be okay with Fran and Max being there for her and as well as for Maggie since she has had broken hearts too.
