"Kaylee! Are you ready to go to the park?" Monica yelled up the stairs

A few seconds later Kaylee came running down the stairs with her gloves in her hand "Yeah!" She exclaimed holding out her gloves for her mother to put on.

"Alright." Monica said while putting on her gloves. "Got your boots?"

"Check!" She said lifting up her foot

"Hat?"

"Check!" She said pointing to her head

"Coat?"

"Check!" She said moving her arms up and down "Zipped?"

"Check!" Monica said while zipping up Kaylee's coat "Alright it looks like we are all set to go to the park." She said opening the door and walking out.

She buckled her in and drove away

When they got there Monica got Kaylee out of the back seat. Kaylee ran to the slide right away. "Be careful!" Monica yelled after her

Monica went to go sit on the same bench she always did when they came to the park. Once she got over there; she saw a man sitting on the bench. "Hey." Monica said trying to get his attention. Once he looked up at her she said "Is this seat taken?" She said pointing to the seat next to him with a smile on her face.

It took awhile for him to answer then he managed to get out "No, no. Go right ahead." He said moving over to give her more room. She was beautiful, she had long, black, straight, hair; she had the brightest blue eyes he has ever seen and dimples, Chandler was a sucker for dimples.

"Thanks." Monica said sitting down. After awhile she finally broke the silence. "So are you here with your son or daughter? She asked

"My son, Ethan, he is four. Will be five in a couple months." He said pointing out Ethan on the swings. "What about you? Son, daughter?" He asked

"Daughter, Kaylee. She is three right now." Monica said looking in his bright blue eyes for the first time. She couldn't help but smile

"What?" Chandler asked

"Nothing." She said innocently

For the next fifteen minutes they talked about everything and anything from high school, to jobs, to marriage.

"So if you don't mind me asking. What happened to Kaylee's father?" Chandler asked Monica

Monica took a deep breath and began to answer.

"When Kaylee was one I came home from work one night and found a suit case by the door. He came out of the kitchen and told me he was leaving. I asked him what he meant, like if he was going on a business trip or going to visit his family for a week. He said no…he was leaving, and then he walked right past me and out the front door. I haven't seen him sense. Kaylee barely new him but every once and awhile see would ask about him." Monica said on the verged of tears. She looked back at Kaylee and saw that she was playing with Chandler's son Ethan on the swings.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Chandler said consolingly rubbing her back for support

"What about you? Is Ethan's mom around?" She asked

"No, actually. Ethan's mom died in a car crash." Chandler said slowly looking back at her.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry. If I knew I would have never brought it up." Monica said quietly

"It's alright." Chandler said taking his eyes off of her and looking back at his son "It has six months ago. She was waiting at a red light…and when it was her turn to go…" He tried to fight back tears; Monica rubbed his back for support "She didn't see the truck coming. He ran a red light, hit her head on!" He looked back up at her. "Ethan likes to come out here a lot to swing. He feels when he is on the swing that is the closest he can get to his mom."

"I'm sorry." She said in a whisper

"Thanks." He said with a small smile looking up at her

A couple minutes later, after Chandler calmed down, Ethan same running over. "Daddy, my hands are really cold!" He said shivering

"I'm sorry buddy, I don't have any gloves. Do you want to go home?" Chandler asked

"No! I want to play with Kaylee." He said starting to pout

Monica jumped in and said "Hey, Ethan. Do you want to wear my gloves?" Monica asked pulling her gloves off her hands.

"Yes!" Ethan exclaimed

Monica started to laugh "Okay." She said while putting them on his hands

"Ethan, what do you say?" Chandler told his son

"Thank you!" He said

"You are welcome." She told him then he ran off to go play with Kaylee

A little while later while Monica and Chandler were talking, and when Monica was laughing at another one of Chandler's jokes. Monica heard Kaylee scream

"Mommy!" She yelled

Monica jumped up and ran to where she heard the scream come from. Chandler followed close behind.

When she got there she saw that Kaylee had her fingers stuck to a pole. Chandler grabbed Ethan and moved him out of the way.

"Honey, what did you do?" Monica asked

"I took off my glove so my hand wouldn't slip and I climbed up here. My hand won't come off mommy." She said starting to cry

"Its okay sweetie, don't cry. We will get your hand off soon." She said wiping the tears from her eyes with her thumb

Thirty minutes later, once they got Kaylee's hand free. She jumped off the playground and into Monica's arms. She clung to her neck tightly.

Monica pulled her back so she can look at her. "Hey, how about we go home and get some Hot Chocolate!" Monica said excitedly to try and calm Kaylee down.

"Yeah!" Kaylee yelled

Monica turned back to Chandler and Ethan "If you guys want to join us you can."

"That would be great." Chandler looked down at Ethan in his arms "What do you say buddy you wanna go get some Hot Chocolate?"

"Yeah!" Ethan yelled

Monica laughed "Alright!" She looked back at Chandler "You can follow us." She smiled

"Okay." Chandler said smiling
