Lily is 14, Jack and Erica are 10

Chandler is comfortably sitting on the armchair, zapping through the channels when he has the feeling a pair of eyes is laid over him. He slowly turns is head to his left finding his daughter sitting in the couch attentively staring him.

"Uh Lily…?" He mumbles, puzzled. "What is it?"

"Who's my birth mother?"

Chandler panics and mouths inaudible words, ending up speaking louder. "Mon! She's asking those things again! Monica, help me!"

Monica comes from the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand. "Come on, Chandler, you're a grown man, answer her!"

Again he panics. "But Monica, this is a huge deal and you know I can't deal with these kinds of big deals!" Knowing that Monica would insist again, he turned to his son. "Besides, I told Jack we were going to play catch outside, wasn't it?"

"Don't drag me into it along with you, dad!" The boy says, not taking the eyes of his game console.

Erica saves him by pulling him by an arm to the yard. "It wasn't with Jack, dad. It was with me. You and I are going to play catch!"

Lily is not amused with the fact that her parents won't tell her about her birth mother, especially with her father who runs away from the question. They told her they don't know who her father is because of the adopting process and she's fine with it, but they had to meet with her mother and all she wants to know is who she is. She's completely alright with the fact that she's adopted because she loves her parents, yet she feels she has the right to know. Well, her twin siblings got to know, why can't she?

Monica notices her daughter discontent and tells her. "Sweetie, don't be sad. Tonight dad and I will tell you all about your birth, okay?"

"Promise? 'Cause you've said it before and once dad even faked to be sick!"

Monica chuckles and affirms. "I promise. Tonight, after dinner we'll talk about it. Right now just come and help me setting the table. And you too Mister!" She asks taking the console from Jack's hands. "Come on Jack, help us."

"You know, I now remember that dad did want to play catch with me."

Monica sighs and smiles as her son walk out the door to the yard to play with his father and his twin sister. What she could do? He's a Bing, a Bing man!

Monica and Chandler sit on the couch, and Lily takes a seat between them. The twins share the armchair, waiting to hear the story too. Chandler is nervous, running his hands on his thighs.

"You really sure you wanna know?" He asks, trying to create doubts on his daughter.

"Yeah." She answers looking at him, assuring him that she's really committed to know about it.

"Okay, Chandler, what if I start talking and then you join in?" Monica suggests.

"How about you do all the talking and I just stand here and listen? After all, neither I know quite well how we adopted her!"

"Dad," Lily places her hand on Chandler's shoulder, speaking. "in my first day of school in 5th grade, the older kids started making fun of me because I'm adopted. You know what I told them? I said "Yeah, I'm adopted, but at least my parents chose me; your parents are gonna get stuck you with forever!" I just wanna know about my birth mother, nothing else. I love you two really much. Don't worry, okay? I don't even want to meet her!"

"Aw, sweetie," Chandler hugs her and puts a kiss on her hair. "that's really sweet from you and it means a lot to me," He looks up at Monica and reformulates. "to us. Still, it won't make it easier for me to talk about it!"

Monica smiles and starts. "Well, it all starts with…"
