Title: Falling In Love Again

Summery: Phoebe was in love with Mike but it wasn't meant to be. When she falls in love again will it be meant to be?

Chapter 1: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Phoebe sighed softly as she sat alone in her apartment flipping through the channels. It had been 2 weeks since her break up with Mike. She had no luck with men. David left her to go to Minsk. Gary shot a bird which freaked her out. Ryan the navy man he stopped coming to see her after the chicken pox visit. The others she just had fun with. Then she met Mike. When Joey set her up with him at first she was mad at him for fixing her up with a stranger but it worked out. When she met Mike's parents and she over heard him tell them he loved her, she had really thought Mike was the one. They were all set to move in together but after Monica's groomie joke she learned he never wanted to get married again.
The phone rang for the third time. She let the machine get it. She heard Monica's voice saying they were all worried about her and that they wanted her to join them for dinner at her and Chandler's. Phoebe didn't really feel like going but she knew if she didn't they'd just keep calling. She got up and walked to her bedroom to get ready. She sat down on the edge of the bed. She saw the picture of her and Mike that Monica had taken at Rachel's birthday party sitting on her nightstand. She started to cry. "Come on Pheebs pull yourself together" she whispered to herself. She hadn't cried over a guy since David. She dried her eyes and got ready for dinner at Chandler and Monica's.
Monica was busy in the kitchen, Joey, Chandler, and Ross were watching the Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding reunion movie, and Rachel was feeding Emma when Phoebe walked in. "Hey guys" she said softly. "Hey Pheebs" they all said stopping what they were doing to hug her. "I made your favorite dinner eggplant parmesan" Monica said with a smile. "Thanks Mon" she answered. "Come on lets eat" Monica said ushering everyone to the table. "Aww Mon the movie isn't over yet" Joey whined. "Chandler's taping it" she told him. "Yeah baby!" he grinned as he sat down. Monica rolled her eyes as she served the food.
After dinner everyone went into the living room. Chandler sat in his barcalounger and gently pulled Monica down on to his lap. "Guys the reason we invited you all over tonight was because Mon and I have something to tell you" Chandler started. "We're going to have a baby!" Monica finished. "Oh my God my little sister and my bestfriend having a baby" Ross giggled hugging them. "I'm gonna be an uncle! WooHoo!" he added. "Oh Mon you're so gonna love being pregnant" Rachel squealed. "Hey Rach are Mon's breasts, ass, hands and feet really going to get bigger" Chandler whispered. "Chandler!" Monica shrieked as she playfully hit him. "I call godfather!" Joey shouted. "Oh and don't forget our little deal" Joey said winking at them. Monica and Chandler groaned and threw a pillow at him.
Phoebe was happy for her friends but it just reminded her of everything she could of had with Mike. "I'm happy for you guys" she said giving them a small smile. "What no name it Phoebe stint" Chandler joked. "I...I uh" Phoebe got up "gotta go" she whispered running from the apartment in tears. "Nice going Chandler" Monica said. Joey got up and went after her. He caught her before she went down the stairs. "Pheebs wait don't go" he said. "I can't go back in there Joey I love them I do but I just can't watch my friends all happy together and stuff" she said her bottom lip quivering. Joey hated to see her cry. "Come here" he whispered pulling her into his arms. "What's wrong with me Joey am I that weird, that unlovable" she cried into his shoulder.
Joey pulled away to look into her eyes. "Phoebe you are a beautiful, loving, funny, amazing woman any man would be lucky to have you and Mike, David and all those other guys that broke your heart have no idea what they've lost" he whispered. "Thank you Joey" she sniffed. Joey nodded as he gently stroked her cheek. The next thing he knew he was kissing her. Once the kiss ended Phoebe just stood there. She didn't know if it was her emotional state or the fact that she always had a crush on Joey but the kiss had felt so right. "Pheebs are...are you okay" Joey asked. "Yeah I'm...I'm fine" she whispered. Joey smiled "So umm would you like to umm have dinner with me some time" he stuttered nervously.
Phoebe didn't know how to answer. Joey was incredibly sweet. When she found out she was really 31 not 30 and she complained about what she hadn't done before her birthday like never having the perfect kiss he followed her outside Central Perk and gave her the prefect kiss. When David came to New York and then left again Joey held her letting her cry on his shoulder. He gave up meat while she was pregnant with the triplets. When he thought she was the one pregnant not Rachel he had proposed to her.
Joey has a big heart too. He gave Chandler and Monica money when they were behind on their bills. Joey was wonderful but she didn't know if she could date him. She remembered when Monica told her that Joey liked her but it was Rachel he really liked. She never admitted to anyone how crushed she'd been by that. She didn't know if she wanted to risk being hurt again but she didn't know if she wanted to risk losing something good either. She took a deep breath. "Joey I'd love to go out with you" she said with a smile. "Yeah baby!" Joey grinned as he hugged her.
