Ross and Rachel arrived next. They brought Emma, Ben and their new baby, Lucy. Ross rings the doorbell. Jack walks towards the door.
"Judy! Chandler! It's Ross and Rachel and the kids."
Jack opens the door and they enter the house. Judy and Chandler walk to the door to greet them. Judy began to hug Ross, Rachel and the kids.
"Ross, honey how are you?" Judy asked.
"I'm fine. Everyone is fine. How are you?"
Judy wraps her arms around Jack and rests her head on him.
"Your father and I are just fine."
"Your mother is right. We are just fine. Why don't you let the kids go upstairs and play? We can stay here and wait for dinner to be finished." Jack said.
Ross walks over to Chandler.
"Hey Chandler, where's Monica?"
"Oh, she is in the kitchen making sure that everything is perfect for dinner. I tried to help but she said she didn't need my help."
"I brought wine for dinner. I am gonna take it in the kitchen.
"That's okay! I will take it. You are here for dinner. Just go sit down.
"Chandler walks to the kitchen. He puts the bottle of wine down on the table.
"Hey Monica. Ross and Rachel are here with the kids."
"Thanks for letting me know." she said.
"Are you sure I can't do anything? I want to help."
"Chandler! Stop. I told you I was fine. Why are we still talking about this?"
"Mon, we haven't talked about anything. You haven't talked to me for months. I want to talk to you. I want you to talk to me."
Monica pushes her hair out of her face and begins biting her nails.
"Monica. What happened to us?"
"I don't know. We grew apart. Maybe we really aren't destined to be together."
"We aren't destined to be together. We were put together by a circumstance. We work to make this relationship work. We can't stop working for it."
"Chandler, I am tired. This is too hard. We made it work for as long as we could. It was easier in the beginning. I am tired of working so hard."
Chandler reaches out for Monica's hands. He gently places his hands onto hers.
"You don't mean that! You know that what we had was something worth fighting for. We didn't make it this far to give up now."
He slowly pulls her in. He pushes her hair out of her face. Monica lifts her head and looks into Chandler's eyes./
"I can't do this."
"Yes you can. You don't have to do it alone. We can make this work. You have to stop shutting me out.
Chandler pulls her in even closer. He smiles at her. Monica tries to resist his smile. He places his hand under her chin. He pulls her in for a kiss.
"Remember how I would kiss you whenever you got mad."
"Yeah, I was still mad but I couldn't stay mad for too long. I usually got over it."
"I miss kissing you, Monica. I just miss you. I miss my wife.
Chandler leans in and Monica leans in after. Rachel walks into the kitchen. Monica pulls away from Chandler. She grabs the bowl of stuffing and carries it out of the kitchen.
"What was that?" Rachel asked.
"Nothing. It wasn't anything."
"Is she okay?"
"Yeah."
