    Storyline

    Edit
    Fran is hesitating telling Maxwell about being pregnant. But Sylvia, Niles and C.C. all know. Fran finally decides to set the right mood to tell him, and before she can blurt it out, he reiterates his stance that he doesn't want another child. In tears, she finally tells him; because she's so upset, she runs off. She commiserates with another mother in Central Park when she starts to have abdominal pains. She's rushed to the hospital. There, Maxwell reassures her that he does indeed want a child, something he didn't know until he learned they were about to have one. Unfortunately, Fran and Maxwell will have to wait for another pregnancy. Meanwhile, Brighton and Yetta go to the movie theater together. Unsure who's looking after who, they both lose each other, which they're afraid to tell anyone about. —Huggo

      [Niles goes to the kitchen, as he hears Yetta yelling]

      Niles: Why is she yelling ''baby''?

      C.C.: Oh, it's this whole stupid thing. Big secret.

      Niles: [gasps, thinks that C.C. knows about Fran's pregnancy] You know the secret?

      C.C.: [thinks Niles refers to Brighton lost] Yeah, yeah. ''Don't tell Maxwell about the kid''.

      Niles: Miss Babcock, I can't hardly believe you're still standing after a bombshell like that.

      C.C.: What bombshell? It's not that a big deal.

      Niles: You don't see Fran's pregnancy as the final nail in your coffin?

      [C.C. puts a surprised face as the camera makes a close-up of her, giving it a real drama tone]

      C.C.: [whispers] Nanny Fine is... p-p-p-pregnant?

      Niles: That wasn't your secret?

      C.C.: No!

      [the same thing happens with Niles, just as he puts a ''oh, damn'' face, giving it the real drama tone]

      C.C.: [feeling her world is collapsing] I can't believe that Fine's pregnant!

      Niles: Now, Ms. Babcock, Fran hasn't told Mr. Sheffield yet, and if she finds out I blabbed, I lose my closest friend!

      C.C.: [bursting out to sadness exaggeratedly] I have nothing to LIVE FOR!

      Niles: Oh, please, don't tell her! Don't tell her! I'll be your slave!

      C.C.: [recovers quickly from her short sadness] And now I do.
