Thanks for the reviews and follows guys!

hugefriendsfan00 - Thanks, here is the next chapter!

Boris Yeltsin - thanks, that's good to hear, I will continue!

Bubububuu LONDON - thank you so much, that makes me so happy to hear! Yes, it is going to be canon (following the same story line as the series, that's what that means right? I'm new to this!), but it will also be Mondlery, as they get together etc., but with the added fun of seeing how the twins react to the relationship etc, when I get there!

Chapter 2.

From the moment the twins had gotten home from school, Monica had got them cleaning the apartment with her. They were meant to be cleaning up in their bedroom, which in reality meant hiding everything behind the closet. They were used to their Mom's crazy cleaning obsession, and were actually surprised she hadn't yet realised that when they were told to tidy their bedroom, everything that they couldn't find a place for ended up shoved behind the closet.

"I don't get why Mom goes crazy when Gram and Grampa come over" said Erica.

"I know, Gram always just looks funny at the apartment anyway" Jack replied.

"Well, I hope Grampa brings candy again!" Erica commented.

Out in the living room, Monica was busy fluffing pillows as her friends sat around watching her, not understanding why she was getting so worked up, despite hearing many stories of how critical her parents could be.

To make matters worse, Rachel emerged from her new bedroom with bad news.

"I can't find my ring you guys, oh god, how am I going to return it to Barry tomorrow, if I don't have it."

"Ok, relax Rachel," Monica took control of the situation. "It must be here somewhere, we will all help you look for it. Guys, start looking."

"Hey, Rach, when did you last have it?" Joey asked.

"Well, I know I had it this morning, and I definitely had it when I was in the kitchen with…"

"Dinah?" Chandler offered, unhelpfully.

"Oh god, oh god, please don't be mad, I'm sorry, oh god," Rachel looked towards the lasagne she had helped make earlier, with a panicked look in her eyes.

"You didn't?" Monica looked horrified. "You had one job to do and you've messed it up." She picked up the carefully prepared lasagne gingerly and started peering underneath, looking through the glass dish.

"Now, Mon, you know that isn't how you find an engagement ring in a pasta dish" Chandler stated, taking the dish from Monica's hands and placing it on the kitchen table. He looked at Joey. "Boy's, we're going in" he announced, before he started rifling through the lasagne alongside Joey and Phoebe.

"Oh, I've found it," squealed Phoebe excitedly.

At that moment there was a knock on the door, which Monica answered, to find Ross standing outside, looking shell-shocked. "Hi" he murmured.

"Oh, that is not a happy hi" Monica replied.

"Carol's pregnant" he replied simply.

"Whoa, how, what, when, who, what?" stammered Monica, now looking almost as shocked as Ross.

"Umm, yeah, do that for a few more hours and you might be somewhere where I am right now".

"Well, how do you fit into this then?" Rachel asked quietly.

"Carol says she wants be to be involved, but if I'm not comfortable, that's fine, basically it's my choice."

"Oh, Susan's so nice, I …" Phoebe started to say, before receiving a fierce glare from Monica.

"Well, what does that mean?" Monica asked, while the boys jokingly suggested that Ross' job was mainly done now.

Ross managed a half-smile at that and replied "I don't know, they want me to go to some kind of sonogram with them tomorrow."

The friend's tried to comfort Ross, before Monica shooed them all out of the apartment and called the twins out of their rooms to help with a last minute clean before her parents were expected to arrive.

"Erica darling, your hair looks lovely tonight," Judy commented to her grand-daughter.

"Thanks Gram, Mom did it for me." Erica beamed. Whenever their Gram visited, the twins did their best to stick up for their Mom, selling all the amazing things she did with them. At their young age, they were already able to recognise the tension between their Mom and Gram.

"Oh, I see, I suppose your mother only had time to do your hair, and not her own." Judy replied to her grand-daughter, smiling.

"Mom was just so busy helping me make me project for school, it's awesome, we are going to make stars and everything." Jack added excitedly.

"A space project, that's great Jack, I see you have inherited the Geller love of science, just like your Uncle Ross." Jack Senior beamed as his grandson.

"Yes, it's just a shame the gene wasn't passed to all the family members." Judy once again smiled at her daughter also managing to imply that she was also talking about her grand-daughter.

"Mom I think I forgot to tell you, Erica hit a home run at her softball game last week. It was incredible, you should of seen it!" Monica enthused.

"Oh, that's nice dear." Judy smiled yet again at her grand-daughter. "So…modern, girls playing baseball, whatever happened to ballet eh?" she said sort of jokingly. "Mm, what's that curry taste?" She changed the subject as Monica passed round some appetizers.

"Curry." Monica replied, once again baffled by her mother.

"Well I think they are great" insisted Ross.

"Oh, you remember the Ludwins, Ross?" Jack asked his son. "The younger one had a thing for you didn't she?"

"Oh they all had a thing for him" Judy gazed at her son proudly.

The conversation continued in much the same way for a while, until Monica took Ross aside once the twins were in bed. "I know this must seem incredibly selfish of me, but are you planning on bringing up the pregnant lesbian thing at all tonight? Just it might take a little heat off of me for a while." She gave her brother a look that he knew meant, you better be.

As they sat back down, Judy continued to grill her daughter, until Monica glared at Ross, and not-so-subtly leaned on his hand with her elbow, hard. "So, Ross, what's going on in your life, any news, anecdotes to share?" She asked her brother innocently.

"Ow, err, Mom, Dad, I realise you must be confused about what has happened with Carol and I." Ross stood up to address his parents. "Carol's a lesbian, she's living with another woman, Susan, she's also pregnant, with my child, and she is going to raise the baby with Susan," Ross stated simply, waiting for the obvious shock, and barrage of questions.

"Oh, I see," was all the parents could reply, obviously too shocked to say any more. The room was silent until Judy turned once again to her daughter. "And you knew about this?" she asked incredulously.

Later that night Monica and Ross sat with their friends, discussing the nightmare that had been the meal with their parents. Monica shook her head; she didn't know how her mother was able to shock her every time. It was like she didn't even realise how critical and hurtful she was being to her daughter, but surely she must realise the effect her words had on her. Monica vowed once again to never make her children feel as she felt as her parents scrutinized her unconventional path in life.

The next evening all of the friends were gathered in Monica's living room as Ross showed them the footage from the sonogram earlier that day.

"What are we meant to see?" Joey asked, tilting his face and squinting and the TV screen.

"Duh, it's an alien." Jack answered. Erica nodded her agreement.

"No, no, guys it's not an alien. It's a tiny human, your niece or nephew." Ross corrected.

At this response the twin's faces grew even more confused. Erica looked at her Mom, who reassured her. "I watched one of these videos of you guys, when you were both tiny."

"Whoa, we're like aliens too Erica! Oh man this is so cool."

The adults shook their heads, smiling at the twins, glad no further explanation was needed.

Ross glanced at his sister. "Aw, Monica, are you welling up."

"No!" She brushed him aside, going into the kitchen to wash up.

"You are!" Ross chased her. "Monica, you're going to be an Aunt, there's going to be a little baby around again, does that bring back any memories?"

"He grinned and grabbed her into a hug. "You're going to be such a great Aunt, my kid is going to be so lucky!"

Monica smiled back, before pushing him away, and going to wash up a plate, before she could start crying.
