Rachel's POV
It has been 1½ months since I took the pregnancy test. I had to find a way to keep it a secret. Somehow someway I have to keep it a secret that I am pregnant. Which is going to be tough. It would kill Ross to find out that I am pregnant with his best friends baby. And Chandler isn't ready and I don't think he can handle a child. He didn't ask for the baby.
I don't know how am I going to hide it. I will start showing pretty soon. I have to think of something fast.
Chandler's POV
Four of us are just sitting at Central Perk doing what we do everyday. Rachel comes in. I need to talk to her she has been acting strange lately. She is so beautiful. I still can't believe I turned her down. Everyone orders what they want but Rachel orders a decaf which is odd since she doesn't drink a decaf. That's odd.
Everyone left. It's just me and Rachel.
I ask her. Is something wrong? You ordered a decaf. You never order a decaf. But lately you have. Is something going on that you aren't telling me?
Rachel's POV
Chandler is onto it. He notices how I am all of a sudden drinking decaf. I don't know what to say. I need to tell him what has been going on but he isn't ready to become father. I just left saying I have to go. I completely ignored the question but that probably got him wondering even more on what is going on lately.
~~3 months later~~
Well everyone knows I am pregnant but only I know who is the father. They ask me everyday. Chandler and I are doing better but it's still odd. I think I am in love with him. But he doesn't feel the same way. So I am in my 4th month. Almost the 5thmonth. Chandler had gotten suspicious of the timing. Sooner or later he will figure out the truth. So I just going to keep it a secret until Chandler eventually finds out which he will. So I am going to keep the Chandler from knowing he is the father until it's all out in the open. But until then it is all a secret.
Chandler's POV
Ok me and Rach had that one night about 5 months ago. And she is along pretty much at 5 months. Suddenly it hit me. I am the father. I can't believe it. Why didn't she tell me anything? Then I remembered why…..Ross. I have to confront Rachel tonight somehow.
~~Few Hours later~~
Everyone was out except me and Rachel. Phoebe and Joey were having their monthly dinner where they talk about us. Monica and Ross were having dinner with their parents. So I figured it was the perfect time to confront Rachel.
"I know everything." I said.
"What do you mean?" she said.
"I know who the father is." I told her
Rachel's POV
He figured it out. Well it was going to happen when he soon added up the numbers.
Chandler's POV
I know I am the father. Why didn't you tell me anything? I said
Because you are not ready Chandler.
How do you know that? I said firmly
After that a few minutes of awkward silence.
I want to be apart of the baby's life.
It would be awkward. Since we aren't dating and it was just a one night stand since you broke my heart Chandler. I am still not over the crush.
What if I tell you I have been feeling the same for 5 months? I said.
She just looked shocked. She then asks Why did you rejected me then if you felt the same way?
Because I said, Because I was still dealing over Kathy cheating on me.
Rachel let me be apart of this journey with you. Please Rach let me be on this journey with you. I said.
I…I…I don't know. I had been keeping it from everyone for so long. And everyone would be suspicious. And also…Ross. She said
She made a point. But I don't care if Ross is mad at me. Lets tell everyone. I said
I…I don't think that's such a good idea. Ross would be so angry with you it would put a strain on you and his friendship.
I don't care. I just want to be happy with you and this baby,
They kissed and Chandler breaks apart saying we will do it together and tell them tomorrow. I don't care what everyone else thinks. I just want to be with you.
~~The Next Morning~~
Rachel was sleeping right next to me. All I can think about was that I was going to be a father and that I was happy to be with Rachel. I woke her up made her breakfast in bed. She thanked me with a kiss. Soon after she finished eating we just stayed in bed talking. I felt happy. But that will end soon since today we will be telling everyone…..the truth.
~~Few Hours Later~~
Rachel came last. I had been hanging out with everybody. Rachel came at saying I want you all to know who the father is. They were like tell us. Its about time you told us. Chandler was going along so it wouldn't look suspicious. The father is….Right here. They guessed but the gave up quickly. The father is Chandler. Everyone was shocked but instantly thought it was a joke. They asked no seriously tell us who the father is. I did. Ross and everyone soon realized it was a joke. She was serious. Ross was angry at Chandler. Chandler and Rachel ran out of Central Perk. They ran into his and Joey's apartment. They locked the door. And they just were happy they got it out in the open. Ross is angry and goes and opens the door to Monica and Rachel's apartment looking for Chandler and Rachel. He goes over across the hall and Ross tries to open the door but its locked. Chandler and Rachel were happy. Their baby would be here in a couple of months.
