TOW the birth mom (part 4)
Scene: hospital room, Monica, Chandler & Joey are there
Chandler: their dad's here?
Monica: this doesn't change anything
Chandler: hell yeah it does! I mean it only took me like a second to fall in love with them and I'm not even the 'real' dad and now he's here and he's going to just . . . he'll want them
Monica: he didn't want them when they were in the womb
Chandler: do we even know that, Erica never even told us how he reacted when she told him she was pregnant. . . maybe she didn't
Joey: dude you're their dad
Chandler: not their 'real' dad
Monica: and I'm not their 'real' mom but if you heard me talking like that you'd be like 'Monica stop talking like that'
Chandler: no I wouldn't
Monica: I said that I was worrying about that a few weeks ago and you were all 'Monica stop
Chandler: I get it fine but this is me were talking about, I clearly don't listen to you as well as you listen to me
Monica: Chandler you are their dad, you love those two just as much as him, you certainly appreciate them more because you were here when they were born, where was he!
Chandler: not here
Joey alright then you two go in there and act like parents! . . . oh we're all so grown up
Scene: corridor, Monica & Chandler are looking in at the nursery through the window where the dad is holding the babies
Chandler: look at him, he's so good at holding them, he didn't even have to be told to support their heads
Monica: sweetie its not a big deal that he knew that because most people know that
Chandler: I didn't
Monica: fine but that doesn't diminish your fathering abilities just illustrates that you are not most people
Chandler: why are we still here watching this is torture and we're not going to get them and we'll have to start the whole adoptive process again and (Monica kisses him) hey I was ranting
Monica: you kissed back
Chandler: I always kiss back when you kiss me, not so much when Joey does it
Monica: well you wouldn't shut up and I ran out of ideas, look I know this is hard but I need you to at least pretend to be confident because I'm barely keeping it together right now and it would help if you could also pretend to keep it together as well
Chandler: I know Mon and I'm trying but
Monica: but what you're scared? (he nods) look I'm scared too, not scared more like petrified that they are going to take these two babies away from us and honestly if that happens I don't know how I'll react but we're so close right now to having our family and if have to endure a couple of hours or days worth of torture then so be it (she starts crying) uh I'm such a girl!
Chandler: (hugging her) you're not a girl, you're a mom and besides this pain can be like going through childbirth which I've heard is no picnic
Monica: hm this is the only time I'm ever going to say this but it's nice to hear you make jokes again
Sean: so are you guys the people Erica wants to give the babies to?
Chandler: yes hi, I'm Chandler and this is my wife Monica
Sean: I'm Sean, Erica mentioned something about being pregnant awhile ago but I though she was just pranking me or something but now that I've met them, wow they're pretty awesome
Chandler: we feel the same way
Sean: I hope Erica didn't promise you guys too much because I gotta say I'm kind of digging fatherhood right now
Monica: hm I didn't know todays teens still used that word
Sean: whoa I'm no teenager, I'm nineteen
Chandler: funny you don't look a day over twelve
Sean: what can I say, good genes or something
Monica: Erica didn't tell us much about you, are you in college?
Sean: yea
Chandler: so I guess you don't want to have to drop out and be a parent then
Sean: no I was thinking of doing both, keeping them and college I mean I was with them for like a half hour and it seemed pretty easy . . . well I'm going to go talk to Erica (he leaves)
Chandler: he's an idiot
Monica: but he has way more rights than we do
Chandler: we're totally out of the loop, we have to go talk to Erica and she what she wants, FYI though he does have good genes
Monica: yea Jack is going to be a ladykiller when he grows up
Chandler: (hugging her) right we have to find out what Erica thinks because she likes us and wanted to give us the babies so lets just screw the dad and the grandparents
Monica: seriously 'paternal Chandler' is so attractive!
(right so probably not the best chapter but whatever, review the good and the bad)
