6.8 Making Whoopi

written by: Suzanne Gangursky

Sylvia can't stand waiting anymore and runs into Fran's hospital room. Dr. Reynolds explains to the group that Fran had had a false positive test result and the stomach pain had been indigestion.

Max: Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry. Oh you must be feeling... I can't even imagine how you're feeling. Fran: Oh it's okay.

But maybe she isn't quite as fine as she pretended.

Back home, Max forgot to kiss Fran goodbye. She rectifies that quickly, but when he turns to leave, Fran doesn't let go. So they sit down to talk.	Fran: Honey, I know that I was really strong in the hospital, but to tell you the truth, I already started loving that baby. Max: Oh darling I know, so did I.
	They decide to try again right away and Fran has already done some clothes shopping for Shlomo.

Sylvia, Yetta and Val convince Fran that she should consult a Chinese herbalist for something to help Max's 'little swimmers.' Mr. Fu gives Fran some stuff for that, plus some cookies to help make him frisky. He also notices Val could use some stuff to smarten her up.

Back home, Fran mixes up some of the medication. C.C.: What's that Nanny Fine? Slim Fast? Fran: No, Swim Fast! And off she goes to find Max.

Niles and C.C. unknowingly sample the cookies that Fran left behind.

A few days later, Niles comes in with a tray full of empty shake glasses and the kids ask what their parents have been up to in to in the past few days since they have not seen them. Niles: Umm, they're trying to co-produce a new project. Grace: Wow, Dad is going to let Fran handle his business? Niles: Eat your eggs.

Niles and C.C. are still munching the cookies and feeling the affects. They almost......

.... but are interrupted by Max coming downstairs to throw away the latest negative pregnancy test before Fran can see it. While he is there, C.C. tells him that he is going to get to do Hollywood Squares.	Max: Look, I'm tired, you're tired. What do you say we just rest for awhile and wait a bit till we try again? What do you say I go and make the arrangements for Hollywood Squares and then I'll take my beautiful wife out for a lovely romantic dinner. Fran: That's so sweet. I love you. Max: We're not going to wait, we're going to try again right now aren't we? Fran: Yeah.
Fran comes looking for the pregnancy test. To distract her, Max tells her about Hollywood Squares, but Fran sees through the ruse. Fran: Oh, the test was negative, wasn't it?

It still isn't working, so Dr. Reynolds prescribes hormones for Fran. She picks up her prescription and an ovulation kit. The druggist tells her she can't have any sex until she is ovulating.	Max reassures her that they do... Fran: No, no, no. I don't want to do anything that's going to jeopardize us making a baby. Max: This is ridiculous, it can't be as hard as all that. You abstained for five years, how on earth did you manage that?
Abstinance proves to be a little bit of a challenge and Fran worries that they don't have anything in common besides sex.

This is how.

Finally, it's time for Max's Hollywood Squares appearance. During the show, Fran goes to the rest room and discovers she is ovulating and now is the perfect time for action.

She decides she just can't wait another month so she wanders through the squares to tell Max.

Fran hustles him into Whoopi's dressing room.

As they emerge Fran: I think that one took.

At the house, things are back to normal for Niles and C.C. C.C.: I don't know what I found attractive about you the last few days, but you are totally back to repulsive. Niles: Ditto.
