"Oh Mike, you can't possibly understand how much this means to me. Giving up those kids was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and when I couldn't keep them I was devastated. Now, one of them wants to live with me? This is amazing!"
"Phoebe, I am so happy for you. But how are we supposed to fit her?"
"Monica said she has an extra room. She bought the house with a LOT of rooms so there's plenty of room."
A few weeks later Channy moved in with about 50 coach bags containing her belongings. Her room contained a dresser, a bed with posts, a walk in closet complete with shelves for shoes, and a desk with a fuzzy pink chair (the area rug was very similar). It was hers, and even though she was in a house with so many other people, she felt independent. Soon after she moved in, a phone call from LA came in. Joey wanted to know if he could utilize his 'Joey room' (consisting of browns, reds, zebra print, and a king size bed) along with his new fiancĂ, Alex Garrett. Monica agreed and they moved in a month or two later. Believe it or not Monica still had a free bedroom and an empty attic. Phoebe and Mike took up one room, Monica and Chandler shared the master, and Channy claimed one. Emma, Jack, and Phoebe's 12 year old girl; Lily took up the basement. But in retrospect, Monica still had plenty of room. Which is good, because Ross and Rachel asked to move in with Emma and Ben soon after.
They were fine until the college grad requested to stay with them, and then it was on to Mon's house. Ross and Rachel took up the last bedroom, and Emma and Ben split the attic.
And that was how Monica once again became hostess, hosting all events in her home. Though not many of them spoke it, the six original friends hoped that being under one roof would reestablish their relationships, and tighten the bonds between them and their children. And that's exactly what the future would hold.
Twenty two year old Ben, eighteen year old Leslie, Frank, and Channy, fifteen year old Emma, thirteen year old Erica and Jack, and twelve year old Lily, all became very close, some even closer. They were like family (though most of them were family). This is how they all became entwined, and involved in each other's lives.

A.N. Hi! I hope you guys like this chapter. Every chapter won't be like this, I just needed to get the story started. Tell me what you like and don't like. All the characters are the same except for Lily, who I added because I felt like Phoebe and Mike needed a kid. Also, in case you were wondering, Alex is from Joey's show, the spinoff that was made after Friends. Please review and let me know what you want! I have a few ideas but please give me some :)
