This story is about Monica and Chandler, They have a baby who is 10 months old, they are very happily married. They still live in appartment 20 across the hall from Phoebe and Joey. Ross lives with Rachel in the appartment across the street, Rachel and Ross didn't break up and are now happily married, They don't have any children. Phoebe and Joey are not dating each other but Phoebe didn't want to live alone after her grandma died so Joey said she could live with him.
It is about 5:00pm on a normal day in the Bing houshold, Monica is busy feeding her and Chandlers 10 month old daughter Ella, When she hears a knock at the door and think that it is Chandler forgetting his keys again, Monica get up to answer the door.
Chapter 1: I'm your daughter.
Monica: Chandler, how many times are you going to forget your keys, (She looks up and sees it is not Chandler but a girl around the age of 13 standing in front of her) Oh sorry I thought you were someone else.
Girl: Its okay, Does Monica Geller live here by any chance?
Monica: Thats me and its Geller-Bing now, come on in.
Girl: Thanks, (The girl enters the 2 bedroom apartment and sees a baby sitting in a highchair.)
Monica: You can sit on the sofa, I'm just going to put my daughter to bed. (Monica cleans up Ella and takes her into her bedroom and puts her into her crib, When Ella has fallen asleep Monica comes out and sits down next to the girl on the sofa) So how did you find me Emma.
Emma: I looked into my adoption file.
Monica: Oh, I take it Megan and Lee used the name Emma for you like I suggested then.
Emma: Yes, I came here becuase I need to talk to you.
Monica: Well talk away.
Emma: Megan and Lee died in an car accident last year, The adoption agency couldn't find anyone to adopt me though becuase everyone wants a baby.
Monica: I'm sorry about you parents and that you can't get adopted again, What do you want me to do about it?
Emma: I know this is putting you on the spot here but is there any chance you will take me in and look after me?
Monica: Honey, I wouls love to you know that but.

Monica: I used to babysit her, and you kind of know her too.
Chandler: Really, Are you staying for dinner Emma?
Emma: I would like to but unfortunatly I have to get home, They don't like us getting home late.
Monica: Thats okay, maybe you can stay another day.
Emma: Yes, It was nice to see you again Monica, Nice to meet you Chandler.
Emma walks to the door and Monica lets her out saying that she will talk to Chandler about letting her stay but she can't promise anything. 7:30pm Monica and Chandler are eating their dinner and talking about their days.

Monica: Well remember what I told you when we first got together?
Chandler: That we had a daughter but she got adopted away because your mom made you.
Monica: Yes that, Well Emma is the name of our daughter and she is 13.
Chandler: So?
Monica: Emma that was here earlier is our daughter.
Chandler: Really thats great, But if she was adopted then why was she here?
Monica: Her adoptive parents died last year in a car crash, so we are her legal parents or guardians again until or if she gets adopted again.
Chandler: Yes!
Monica: She wants to live with us, Emma wants to stay here with us. I said it is okay but I need to talk to you about it.

Chandler: What do you think the ganag will think of Emma?
Monica: I hope they will all be okay with it.
Chandler: So do I, Do you think we should get a bigger place?
Monica: This appartment will be fine until Ella gets a little older, We can start looking when Ella turns 2 years old.
Chandler: Yeah, We will need a 3 or 4 bedroom house.
Monica: I was thinking 4 in case we have another child which I think we will.
Chandler: Good becuase I think we will too, But not yet though.
Monica: Not yet, Ella and Emma are like 12 years apart in age.
Chandler: That seems like a lot, I am sure they will be fine with sharing a room.
Monica: Will you be okay sharing with Emma for a while Ella?
Ella: Mama.
Chandler: Thats a yes.
