I've got three other stories that I'm in the middle of writing, but this one just randomly came to me while I was doing something else lol! Please read it and let me know what you think!

Chapter one: The Good Life

Chandler stood staring at his wife as she lay sleeping, her chest gently rising and falling. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. It didn't seem that long ago that he was terrified of commitment, not letting anyone get too close and now look where he was. He had never been so happy.

Chandler had been with Monica for 7 years now, married for 4. They had just celebrated the fact that they had been living in their new house for one year, as well as the first birthday of their twins, Jack and Erica. Their best friends, Phoebe, Mike, Joey, Rachel and Ross had all been there to celebrate with them. Over the last year, they hadn't seen each other much. Phoebe was now pregnant with her and Mike's first child, which was due any day now. Ross and Rachel were engaged and expecting their second child. Joey had moved to Los Angeles, but he and Chandler were still as close as ever, always talking on the phone. So much had happened over the last year, but Chandler new that this was where he wanted to be. With Monica. His Monica. He never wanted to be apart from her. He loved her so much. He loved his children so much. His life was perfect and nothing could spoil it.

Chandler smiled to himself as he got into bed, whispering to Monica how much he loved her.

"Hey Sweetie," said Monica as Chandler walked into the kitchen the next morning.

"Hey," Chandler replied, smiling.

"Daaaaa Daaaaaa!" cried one year old Erica, clapping her hands and smiling. "Hey honey," said Chandler, giving his daughter a wet kiss. "Where's Jack?"

"He was up most of the night, so now he's asleep," said Monica, rolling her eyes. "He likes to be annoying, just like his dad!"

Chandler laughed, then scooped Erica into his arms and sat down at the table. He sighed contentedly as Monica put his breakfast in front of him and picked up Erica, putting her in her high chair.

"Oh, Sweetie, before I forget, Ross and Rachel have a doctor's appointment today, so I said we'd watch Emma, is that ok?"

"Sure," Chandler replied. "She loves spending time with her cousins, not to mention her favourite uncle!"

Monica rolled her eyes, "just because she's the only person who actually finds you funny! But don't forget, she's only two…she probably thinks spoons are funny!"

"Yeah, you're probably right," Chandler replied, turning his attention back to his breakfast. He wished he didn't have to go to work today. He would love to have the day off and spend it with his beautiful wife, his gorgeous kids and his lovely little niece.

Monica was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Chandler was due home from work any minute now. The twins and their cousin, Emma, were playing in the living room. Emma's third birthday was two weeks away and Monica was deep in thought about when Rachel was pregnant with her and how they had to work out who the father was because Rachel wouldn't tell them. Back then, Rachel and Ross had been just friends. Emma was the result of a one night stand and a very old condom! And now look…Ross and Rachel were going to wait until the birth of their second baby and then get married. Monica couldn't believe it. Her brother was getting married to her best friend, and she was married to her brother's best friend. It was ironic!

Just then, the phone rang. "Emma, sweetie, can you answer the phone for me while I wash my hands?" Monica called.

Emma ran to the phone and answered it.

"It's Uncle Mike," she called out. Monica went to the phone. "Hey Mike, how's it going?" she asked.

"Phoebe's having the baby!" he exclaimed, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice. "I'm at the hospital now!"

"Ok, calm down!" Monica laughed. She thought it was sweet that Mike was so excited. The pair of them had had their differences in the past. When Mike and Phoebe had broken up for a while, Monica had tried to keep them from seeing each other. Then they got back together and got engaged and Monica had practically taken over their wedding. But now, 2 years after first meeting Mike, he was one of the gang, one of their best friends and their baby was on its way. Even though this baby wasn't a blood relative of Monica's, like Emma and Ross's son Ben from his first marriage to Carol, were, she knew that it would still be a niece or nephew to her. "Tell Pheebs that we're all thinking of her. I would come to the hospital, but I can't because Chandler's not home yet and we're looking after Emma. Call us when she's had the baby!" said Monica, almost as excited as Mike was.

"Sure thing!" said Mike, grinning from ear to ear as he hung up the phone.

Just then, Joey walked through the door. He had decided to stay in New York for a few days to visit a few friends and Monica and Chandler had told him that he could stay with them since they had kept a room for him there.

"Phoebe's having her baby!" Monica exclaimed excitedly.

"What?! That's great" said Joey grinning.

Four hours later, Monica, Chandler, Rachel, Ross and Joey all sat in the living room in silence. Monica stared at the phone willing it to ring. The twins and Emma had fallen asleep. Rachel rubbed her belly. Nine year old Ben sat on the floor watching the telly. Ross had promised him that he could go to the hospital with them and see his little brother or sister since he missed it all when Emma was born.

Just then the phone rang, making them all jump at once. The noise awakened Jack, who started crying which caused Emma to wake up and start shouting for her daddy, and then Erica woke up and started crying too. Chandler and Ross got up to see to their children while Monica answered the phone.

"Hello? Yes…Hi Mike, I'm so glad you called… Really? That's great news, we are all so pleased for you! Yes…give our love to Phoebe and tell her we'll be there to see her in the morning…ok, take care of yourself, and phoebe and your little one! Bye, see you tomorrow."

And with that, Monica hung up the phone.
