Chandler smiled at his wife as they sat in the park having a picnic with their twins. They were under a large shade tree. There was even a slight wind. The day was perfect. They twins just turned 9 months old two days ago. They were both so happy and good babies. Erica and Jack were already both very attached to their dad. Monica could have been mad but she thought it was too sweet.
Monica and Chandler were finishing up eating while Jack and Erica played with their toys. They really enjoyed being out of the city. If they had went to central Park it would have been really crowded. Here it wasn't and it was quiet. Just perfect for them.
Once the twins were born, Monica traded her car in for a more practical one and Chandler got himself a car as well.
"I think it's time to take these two home and get them down for a nap." Monica said when she picked up a fussy Jack who laid his head on her shoulder.
"I agree." He knew if one was upset, the other one would soon follow. He helped Monica stand up then he picked up the picnic basket and Erica. Monica got the diaper bag. Then Chandler got the blanket off the ground and they walked to their car.
When they got home, Chandler and Monica changed Jack and Erica's diapers then put them down for a much needed nap. Then Monica's phone rang so she answered it and Chandler sat in the living room to see if there was anything good on TV.
He stood up when he saw Monica walk into the living room. She looked stunned. She almost looked like somebody they knew had died. He walked over to her.
"Is everything ok?" He asked, almost afraid to know the answer. The last time he saw Monica with this look on her face, they had found out that it would be hard for them to conceive naturally.
"That was Erica on the phone." She said quietly. She had a blank look on her face. It was starting to scare him.
Chandler frowned. Sometimes they had talked to her to let her know how the twins were doing. "Well what's wrong?"
"She suddenly had a change of heart and wants them back." Monica said, her eyes filling fast with tears.
Chandler looked at her with a shocked look on his face. How could Erica do that to them. They had raised those babies for the last 9 months of their short little lives. They were their parents now. Chandler grabbed her and held her close. He rubbed her back.
"Mon, we aren't going to let her do that." He kissed her temple. "Ok? We won't."
She nodded and wiped her eyes. "What if we can't stop her?"
He rubbed the back of her head. "Don't think like that. It is all going to be ok. We will even get a lawyer if we need to."
She smiled slightly at him. "Ok."
He took his thumb and wiped the tears that slid down her cheeks. "I love you Mon. It really is going to be ok."
She played with the collar of his shirt. "I love you too."
He softly kissed her. "Even when you have make up running down your face, you're gorgeous."
She giggled. "You're sweet." Then her smile soon faded. "Could we not tell anyone about this? About Erica wanting them back?"
He reached for her hand and rubbed the top of her fingers. "Yeah we can keep it between us until we know what's going on."
She hugged him again and laid her head on his chest. "Thank you." She sighed.
Sorry it's so short, this just seemed like a great stopping point.
