Chandler sat on his bed, reading a magazine. Life was better, he had a date tomorrow, and he was feeling better. He heard the phone and ignored it, knowing Joey would get it. He closed the magazine and lay on his bed, thinking about nothing. There was a knock at the door. It was Joey. Chandler rolled over to face him.
"What?" He asked.
"Phone for you," Joey said, and he was grinning. "You're gonna love this." He said, handing Chandler the phone. Chandler sighed and took the phone, shooing Joey out of his room. He put the phone to his ear.
Hello? He said into the phone.

Hi.
...Who is this?
It's Monica.
Okay, why are you calling?
I have to tell you something.
If this is about us, it's not the best time. See, I have this date-
Chandler, let me talk to you.
Okay-
Shut up for a second. This has nothing to do with us. Well, it kinda does. I'm pregnant.
Chandler froze, his eyes widened. What did she just say?
Um, what?
You heard me...
Are you sure it's mine?
Are you accusing me of cheating?
No, god no.
I have the doctors appointment tomorrow. She suddenly burst into tears. And I'm really scared Chandler.

Chandler put the phone down and ran past Joey, grabbing his jacket and keys. He ran to the street and jogged the distance to Monica's caught the door as an old woman opened it and ran inside, running the steps to her apartment. He knocked on the door, and when no-one answered, knocked again. She came to the door, and when she saw him, she started crying. He dropped his jacket and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. She cried on him, and he just stood holding her. He led her into the apartment, and sat with her for a while and they talked. He promised he would be there tomorrow, gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked back to his apartment, thinking everything over.


He walked into the silent apartment, shutting the door and throwing his keys on the table like he always did. He threw his jacket on the couch, and sat with his head in his hands. He reached for the phone, called his date for tomorrow and said he couldn't make it. He told her had a 'family emergency' which was true. He hung up and resumed his head in hands position. Joey walked out of his room and stood over Chandler, arms folded.
"Naughty naughty." He said.
"Joey, this is serious."
"Okay, sorry. What are you going to do?" Joey asked.
"Pretend I'm not scared."
"Are you?" Joey asked.
"Terrified." Chandler muttered.


Chandler arrived at Monica's to pick her up. She looked so pretty, but scared. Chandler put on his best brave face and they drove to the doctors, sitting only for about 5 minuets when the doctor came to get them. Chandler paused outside of the scan room.
"I-I'll wait out here." He said. Monica walked in and after a few minuets he heard her gasp. He opened the door and she put her hand out.
"Chandler, come here." She said, and Chandler walked over and took her hand. The doctor turned the machine to him. He watched the tiny shape on the screen move, and then he heard its heartbeat.
"You're three months along," The doctor told them, and printed a picture, which Monica said Chandler could keep. He dropped her off and they stood outside of Monica's. She hugged him tightly.
"Thank you," She said, and then she kissed him. And not a friendly kiss. She backed up and shut the door, leaving Chandler confused. He got home and Joey was waiting for him. He chatted to Joey about the appointment, and showed him the picture, which made Joey teary.
"I'm an uncle... Dude!" He brought Chandler into a guy hug.

Things just got real.
