6.6 I'm Pregnant

written by: Ivan Menchell

Fran is turning her old bedroom into a home gym as a gift to Maxwell. When she tries to show Sylvia and Yetta the workman's progress, she discovers Maggie in bed with her boyfriend.

Pretty soon the commotion turns it into a family affair. Brighton: Whoa-hohoho. Alright, how much have I missed? Have any trust funds been cut off yet?

Max starts screaming. Maggie: Fran said that whatever we do in our own apartment we could do here. Fran: Why don't you just feed me to the sharks, why don't ya? Max: Miss Fine, in my office, right now. Fran: Great, now I'm back to Miss Fine! Thank you very much.

Meanwhile, down in the office, Niles is responding to an ad for a car in the newspaper. Niles: Yes, well the car sounds wonderful. Oh, you think I sound sexy, eh?	CC:That'll really turn you on? I'm Popeye the sailor man, I'm Popeye the sailor man, I'm strong to the finish cause I eats me spinach, I'm Popeye the sailor man. Niles: Toot Toot!
But then he figures out who he is talking to and goes to work.

Fran tries to calm Max down. Fran: Sweetie, you must have assumed that they were... Max: Assuming isn't knowing. Assuming means you could be wrong, people were assuming we were having sex when you were my nanny and they were wrong. Fran: Again a sore spot.

Max insists that Fran talk to Margaret and tell her not to do it anymore. Fran: Okay, okay, but it's going to be pretty difficult for me to tell her she can't do something that I recently discovered is just sooooo amazing. Max: I don't care. [beat] Thank you. [beat] I don't care.

Fran catches Maggie as she comes home from Michael's and prepares her to go in to talk to her father, turning her into the sweet little girl that daddy remembers.

But Maggie has something else she needs to talk about with Fran. Maggie: Fran, I think I'm pregnant.

Fran doesn't react well to that news. Fran: Oh honey, next time you tell me that you think you're pregnant, could you do it on carpeting?

The two girls decide the first step is to buy a pregnancy test. Doing it undercover proves a little trickier.

They finally make it into the bathroom. Fran: Listen whatever happens, don't worry, you're not going to have to go through this by yourself. Maggie: I'm so glad that I have you. Fran: I love you. But you know, I don't want to put pressure on you or anything, but if for some reason you are pregnant, life is going to change forever. No husband, no house, no money, and it ain't gonna be a picnic for you either.

After stealing all through the house, Fran distracts Max with a kiss that knocks his socks off.

Then the interruptions start. First it's C.C. While she waits for the bathroom, Niles tells her he wants his money back on the car he bought from her because it is a piece of junk. You can figure what C.C.'s reaction to that was.

Then Max comes back, wanting to finish what Fran had started with her kiss. Max: So why don't you open the door and we can freshen up together? Maggie: Not now....[remembering, trying to sound like Fran] sweetie.

Max: What is going on in there? And he comes on in. Max: Why is my daughter holding a pregnancy test? Max insists they go to a gynecologist to find out for sure about Maggie's condition.

At Dr. Reynolds office, they are both relieved to discover that Maggie is not pregnant. Maggie goes off to call her boyfriend.

The doctor stops Fran on her way out and suggests that Fran might want to consider the ramifications of her own symptoms. Fran: My God Doc, are you thinking that I might be pregnant? Oh my God.

Back at the house, a collector of cars offers C.C. double what Niles had paid her for the car.

So C.C. gives back Niles' money for the car and...

...a happy Niles pays off his shill.

Fran runs home excited wanting to tell Max. Fran: I've got the most amazing news for you, for us. Max: I already know, Margaret called me from the doctor's to give me the good news. Fran: No, no, something else.	Max: Anyway, come on, tell me what's your good news. Fran: Bloomingdales is having a big shoe sale.
But Max goes on as if he never heard her, happy that they won't end up with responsibility for Maggie's baby. Max: We only just got married. I'm not ready to share you yet. Oh no, the last thing we need right now is a baby running around the house.
