Background information;
Thanksgiving around the Gellers in 1987 becomes a shocking discovery for Monica one year from today in 1988 Chandler finds out the consequences and adds another reason to why he hates thanksgiving.
Chapter One
It was thanksgivings in America. The Geller household we're celebrating with full force. The house had been freshly cleaned from top to bottom and the family members dressed appropriately for the 3course meal to be sat in their dining room. Ross, the eldest child of Jack & Judy was bringing his college roommate again; the one Jack always reminded them of the one who hated thanksgiving. Their youngest child, Monica invited her best friend and only friend from high school, Rachel. "Jack, Ross is here" Judy shouted through to the kitchen, as she welcomed her son, kissing his cheek and smiling to Chandler "the boy who doesn't like thanksgiving, hello" Jack shaked Chandlers hand firmly. Ross turned his head looking towards Chandler mouthing the word "sorry".
Monica appeared on the stairs, elegantly holding onto the wooden pine banister as her eyes kept wondering around the room. "Monica, over here" Judy scartiscally laughed at her daughters constants daydreams. "Sorry mom" Monica quietly responded, she began twirling her fingers in the light brown curls. Chandler looked up at her, her body was fanatic, her skin perfect she looked like someone out of a vogue magazine "Monica you look…I mean" he became speechless with his mouth wide open as he continued to gaze up to her like she was in some secret unreachable tower.
"Monica why don't you go get Eve" Jack suggested, he'd had enough of watching his daughter stand awkwardly, and the small cries from upstairs we're beginning to sound like a ringing in his head. "Who's Eve?" Chandler laughed before continuing "Her hamster, or no wait her rat?" she kept sniggering to himself before shutting up as she reappeared with what resembled a baby in her arms "this is Eve Geller" she smiled, kissing the baby's cheek as she rocked her slowly in her arms. "You, you wanna hold her?" Monica suggested, her eyes showed pure beauty as she carefully walked down the stairs with amazing grace and moved the baby towards Chandler "Umm" she forced the baby into his arms, she positioned the baby carefully in his arms, helping shape his hand around Eve's head. "She's tiny hey sis" Ross interrupted, Monica sighed before replying she'd been so focused "Yeah, she's getting bigger though" Monica rightly replied. "Not as big as you we're once" Jack replied, all the family began laughing except Monica. She re-took back Eve, walking through the kitchen as she strapped the baby into bouncer she kept near the fridge while she cooked the menu especially for Chandler.
The sound of the kitchen door opening scared Monica, as a slightly noise escaped from her mouth "Oh it's you" she said with a sign of relief in her tone. She kept continuing to the chop the vegetables while trying to secretly turn around and checks on Chandler as she wondered around the kitchen before bending done and playing with Eve. "She's a treasure you know" Chandler smiled; he kept looking at her eyes, seeing someone similar with the little baby and his self. "Yeah, I know" she said smug, proud of the little baby she produced. "Does her father see her often?" Chandler began wondering, he'd never taken an interest in Monica before, but she looked so different and she seemed this proud, happy woman she never seemed before. Monica hesitated before answering not knowing what to say, as she slowly tried to word her sentence in her mind "Her father and me have a complicated relationship, he doesn't know" She replied carefully, trying to hide the secrets in her mouth keeping them behind her tongue. "That's a shame, she's a proper cutie" he nodded. "Yeah it is" her voice showed the sad expression that grew amongst her face; she wanted to tell the father since the day she found out she was pregnant.
Jack called into the kitchen, seeing Monica had prepared the meal, and now pouring it into a bowl for Chandler "Come on Monica, the turkeys getting cold" he tired to hurry his daughter. "Chandler? Can you bring Eve for me?" she asked, he could see she was busy trying to add the finishing touches to the meal she just prepared from scratch. Chandler followed Monica through to the dining room, as he carried on rocking Eve slowly in his arms and put her into the pink bouncer next to where Monica always sat. As Monica sat down she thanked Chandler for helping. Throughout the meal Monica kept stop eating her food to check on Eve, she kept smiling at her and only Chandler noticed how much of an amazing mother she was. Her parents had always underrated her since she was born, making her feel worthless compared to Ross and now she was worth more than all of them.
