They were all sitting in Monica's living room just talking. Phoebe, Joey, Ross, Monica, and Rachel. Phoebe was sitting on the couch and Joey's arm was around her and Rachel was on the otherside of Joey. Ross was sitting across the table under the t.v. sitting on the floor, and Monica was in the big chair. Just as Phoebe was starting a story Chandler walked in completely oblivious that there were even people in the apartment and he gently placed his brief case down on the table and looked up with a sad look on his face.

"Hey Chandler, what's wrong?" Monica asked.

"I quit my job today," he said sadly as he went over to sit with Monica in the chair. She scooted over and he plopped down and Monica rubbed his neck.

"Um...why?" Phoebe asked confused.

"I don't know really, but there was this voice in my head that said 'if you don't quit today then you are never going to do what you want for a living' and so I just quit and now that voice is saying 'oh my god what a loser you actually listened to me'."

"Aw don't worry about it, we'll get you another job honey." Monica said

"No..... No, I don't want your guy's help. I want to do this by myself." Chandler said in an almost disappointed voice staring down at his knees. He got up and walked out onto the balcony, and watched all of the people go on with their lives, getting home to their loved ones.

"Should I go out there?" Monica asked not knowing what to do.

"No, I'd just stay in here, give him his space. He needs it." Rachel said like she knew everything in the world.

"Ok well I'll just go get dinner ready. Are we still on for the ballet tonight girls?"

"Yeah, yup" Phoebe and Rachel said at the same time.

"Oh um rach, I'm really sorry but I can't watch Emma tonight. There was a meeting that just came up and i can't get out of it. I really tried but they said if I don't go to the meeting then they'll fire me." Ross said pleading for Rachel's forgiveness.

Rachel turned to Joey asking with her eyes if he could watch Emma. "Sorry rach I've got a date."

Rachel turned towards the balcony and thought twice before walking out to ask chandler, knowing that the state he was in he would probably say no but then again he was chandler, chandler never said no. She climbed out and looked at Chandler with pleading eyes. "Hey Chandler I know this isn't the best time but would you mind watching Emma for me tonight. Everybody else is busy."

Chandler just looked over at her and smiled "Sure, no problem. I love watching Emma."

"Thanks a bunch" Rachel said as she pulled him in for a hug. "And you will get through this, if you need our help or not we'll be there for you if you decide you do."

"I know," he said burying his head in her shoulder.

Later that night.... All the girls were gone, Joey was out on his date, and Ross was at work. Chandler was alone in his apartment with Emma. He was watching TV with Emma asleep on his chest. He was in his recliner and he had is feet up and the back stretched out so he was lying down. Suddenly feeling very sleepy, he fell into a deep sleep.

Joey walked in and walked around to the other side of chandler's recliner on his way to his room and saw that Chandler was asleep with Emma lying on top of his chest. Joey smiled and took his coat off and sat down in the other recliner and fell asleep himself. Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel all walked into the guy's apartment to find Joey and Chandler asleep and they saw Emma lying on Chandler's chest. Chandler had a happy look on his face.

"He looks so peaceful when he sleeps doesn't he?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, he's adorable." Monica said with a smile on her face.

Rachel bent down to pick up Emma off of chandler and his face immediately changed once Emma was off of him.

"Poor guy" Phoebe said sympathetically.

"Ah, he'll get through it, I know it." Monica said bending down to wake up Chandler as she looked over and saw that Joey was waking up. "Hey...Chandler wake up." He slowly opened his eyes and looked up and saw Monica. He leant up to kiss her but remembered that Phoebe and Rachel were in the room. He didn't care about Joey because he already knew about them.

"What time is it?" he asked rubbing his eyes.

"Um...2 in the morning." Phoebe replied.

"Ugh I'm going back to bed." Joey said getting up and walking into is room.

"Hey thanks for watching her again Chandler" Rachel said walking out of the apartment with Phoebe in tow.

"Ok now can I have my kiss?" Monica asked with a grin on her face.

"Yes" Chandler reached up and kissed her. "But I am extremely tired and I am going back to bed" Chandler said getting up and walking to his room.

"Ok I'll see you in the morning chandler." Monica said walking towards the front door.

"Night"

"Night"

Chandler walked into Monica's apartment and found that everybody was sitting around the table talking. "Hey guys" he said walking over to the fridge to get a bottle of juice out.

"How'd you sleep last night?" Phoebe asked.

"Eh, pretty good but my neck is soar." He said as he sat down at the table.

"Here" Phoebe said getting up and walking behind chandler and started to massage his neck.

"Oh that feels good." Chandler said relaxing his neck.

"So what are you gonna do now that you don't have a job?" Joey asked with a mouthful of cereal.

"Um well I don't know." He said taking a drink of juice. "I kind of want to get into writing you know but I'm gonna need another job so I have at least a decent inlet for money."

"So you could have just kept your old job and started writing when you had it." Rachel said.

"...Lets try to think that that's not true but still, I had to listen to the voice." chandler answered. "Ok well I'm gonna go take a shower and go down to city hall and see if they have any good jobs listed."
