I'm still going to finish my other story 'Double' but I wanted to write this before I forgot the idea.
Monica was sad as she watched Chandler pack his bags. They had just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary and bought a beautiful house in the country four months ago.
She walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. With her eyes closed she just enjoyed the moment. Taking in the scent of his jacket. She was going to miss the love of her life so much.
"I'm going to miss you so much Chandler." She said.
He hated seeing her so upset. He was upset too but wanted to be strong for her. "I'm going to miss you too sweetie."
He turned around so he could hold her. He was leaving in three days. They found this out two months ago. Neither of them wanted this day to come. He really didn't want to. It was something he had to do.
"Please be careful when you're in Iraq." She said. Her biggest fear was that something would happen to him.
He took his thumb and wiped away the tears from her cheeks, "I will and I will call you every chance I get."
She rubbed the back of his neck. "How long do you think you'll be gone for?" She was scared of the answer, but she really needed to know.
"They are saying 6 months to a year."
They spent the following three days enjoying each other's company until he had to leave.
Most of the car ride there was silent. "I found something out this morning." She finally said.
His hand was on her inner thigh as he drove. "Good news I hope." Being apart from his new wife was bad enough. He didn't want to hear any other bad news.
"Well it is good. Just horrible timing." She said as she looked out the car window.
Now he really wanted to know. "Ok tell me."
She took a deep breath before telling him. "It looks like we are having a baby."
They were at a red light so he kissed her lips sweetly. "I love you. I'm so happy and I'm sorry I can't be here through the whole pregnancy but I promise you I will be here for the birth."
Her eyes filled with tears as she tried to hold them in. "I know and I love you too."
At the airport Monica waited for Chandler's plane to leave before she went home.
Chandler sat in his seat and buckled in. Why did he have to leave and leave his pregnant wife all alone? He knew he had to try his hardest to get out of there soon.
Monica cried all the way home. The gang offered to spend the night with her. At least the first night. Although she thought it was sweet, she would rather just be alone. She already missed her husband so much. When she got home she heard her phone go off. She smiled when she saw it was a text from Chandler.
It said: Hey baby I miss you already. Please keep that baby in there until I get home.
She smiled and replied I will.
I know this story starts off sad but don't worry it gets better,
