I normally only do one story at a time but I thought of this idea and I wanted to write it before I forgot it. I hope you like it.

At the age of 24, I had no idea that my life would be this way. I have an amazing apartment and well I had an amazing job. Business is doing badly so they had to let me go. If I don't get a job soon, I will have to move back in with my parents. I really don't want to do that. Who does?

On this fall day, I am in Central Park, drinking coffee and looking at the paper for job wanted ads.

This isn't a job I would normally take, but this one has caught my eye. It would pay $2,000. I could really use that money right now. A man named Chandler needs a surrogate. He would pay for all Dr. Appointments and according to the ad, I would stay with him in his 11 bedroom house. I don't see anywhere about his wife. I look at the bottom ad for the number and give him a call.

I wonder what my friends will think about me doing something like this.

On the fourth ring, he answers the phone.

"Chandler Bing." He says.

Wow his voice sounds so handsome. "Uh yes, I was calling about your ad in the paper. My name is Monica."

"Well basically, my father owns a multi dollar business that I half own. He and my mother are both worried about the fact that I don't have children. My father wants to give me full ownership of the business and he wants me to have a child to take over it someday. On top of that, I really love kids. Would you be interested in meeting with me?"

I guess, I need to see how this guy is. If he's a total jerk, I may not think he deserves a baby. "Yeah sure." He gives me his address and I quickly write it down on the newspaper.

"I will see you tomorrow then." I tell him.

"Yeah great. I'll have lunch delivered here for us so we can eat while we chat if you like."

Wow, this may be the best job interview I have ever been on. "Sure sounds good."

Once we hang up, I take in the view around me. The leaves are so pretty this time of year. They are all bright pretty colors. A lot of people seem to be out in the park today. I see a lot of moms and dads with their kids. Some are infants and others are older.

This situation I might be in seems exciting and scary at the same time. Call me crazy but I always thought that my first pregnancy would be one that I would keep. Oh well, this could be a great learning experience.

Great, I am supposed to meet my friends at Central Perk in a couple minutes. They are going to freak out at the fact that I am even considering this right now.

When I walk over to the coffee house, everyone is already sitting and chatting away. As I walk over, I hear them say 'Hey Mon'.

Ross, my brother and Rachel have been dating a couple months. It shows by the way they are always all over each other. Then there is Phoebe who is in a committed relationship with this guy named Mike. I am the only single one in the group. They never let me forget it either. They are always trying to hook me up with someone.

"How's the job search coming?" Ross asked when I take my seat on the couch.

"Well." I am trying to find the words to say this without making it sound too crazy. No such luck though. "I may have found something."

Rachel squeals. "Oh good where at?"

I take a deep breath. "This one." I hand them the paper so they can see for themselves. I already called the guy and set up a time to come over and meet him.

"Are you crazy?" Ross asked.

"What if he's some loser or a crazy man?" Phoebe adds.

"I know it sounds insane but I really need the money and I could be really helping someone out here. I haven't agreed to it yet or anything."

"When are you supposed to meet this Chandler guy?" Rachel asked me.

"Tomorrow at noon at his house. This guy is very rich. He has an 11 bedroom home." I tell them.

"Want me to go with you?" Ross asked me.

I shake my head. "No, I'll be fine."

"Have you thought this through?" Phoebe wants to know.

"Yes, I have. This is just something I need to do. If tomorrow goes well then I will say yes to him." I tell them. I know they all mean well. They care about me and don't want me making this huge mistake but this just sounds like a good idea. I am desperate for money until I can find a job. Plus I will get to stay free in his house.

I put my hand on Rachel's. "If I do take this, I get to stay in his house for the nine months. So you get the apartment for a while."

She tears up. "Will we still see you?"

I laugh. "Well of course. This isn't like beauty and the beast. I won't be his prisoner or something."

"Maybe you'll fall in love with him." Phoebe says with a smile.

I smile and roll my eyes. "That's not what I plan on. It's a win-win situation. He gets a baby and I get money to tide me over so I don't have to move back in with my parents."

"Ok but if you do, can I be your maid of honor." Rachel chimes in.

I just shake my head and smile. These two girls always seem to be one step ahead of me.

All I am worried about right now, is if this guy is going to be nice or a total jerk. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
