Thank you sooo much for all the reviews! 26 reviews in 3 chapters means so much that I just couldn't wait any longer to update. Thank you once again for all the support!
He couldn't stop thinking about her. Everywhere he went he wish he saw her right there next to him. When Chandler got back home Kathy was on him about everything. She told him that he should get a new car because his had a few scratches from the ice. Chandler then mumbled something that he really didn't want to and went straight to bed after he kissed her goodnight.
Kathy was now at the table, the one that she was always at when it came to planning the wedding, she was up since 1 last night working and got up at 6 to continue with what she didn't finish the night before.
As Chandler sat on the other end with paperwork filling his area he drank his coffee. He didn't want to be a processor. He didn't want to keep this dead end job that had no raise because he was already getting paid the highest amount. He wanted to enjoy going to work and come home to someone he loves. He just wished that someone was Kathy. But it wasn't.
It was now or never.
"Kathy?"
She barely acknowledged his voice calling out to her and kept her head low in her books and magazines with sticky notes all over.
"Kathy?" He said once again. This time she glanced up at him before going back to work. Chandler was getting frustrated "Kathy! Look at me." He said sternly
This time, without hesitation, Kathy looked up and her head stayed up. "Baby, what has gotten into you."
Chandler sighed "We need to talk."
Jackson was outside making snow angles and snowballs as Monica shoveled the driveway.
"What about this one mom?"
Monica looked over to where he held up a block of ice. "That's not a snowball." She smiled
"Isn't it cool though?" Jackson moved over to a pile of snow along the driveway and put it on top "Don't ruin it. It's a special one." He bent back down and grabbed soft snow trying to pat it together forming a circle but couldn't as it fell through his fingers.
Monica continued to shovel when she felt a ton of snow hit her all over.
"Cold..." She moved it off her coat
Turning around she saw Jackson with a smile on his face. "I couldn't make a snowball." He showed his hands both full of white powder.
Monica dropped the shovel and grabbed some snow herself. With a grin on her face she made a snowball.
"Ahh!" Jackson started to run with Monica chasing him.
He laughed and turned around right into his mothers legs. Monica wrapped her arm around him and hit the snow on his chest.
Jackson laughed and bent down, picking up some more snow.
Chandler pulled up to the same house he left the night before. Putting the car in park he sat there and watched as the two people he grew to love play in the snow.
Monica slowly stepped backwards, still facing her son, as he came near her with two hands full of snow. Monica giggled when he started to pick up speed towards her and some snow dropped from his hands.
When she fell backwards he fell on top of her. Jackson smiled as he shoved some in her face.
Monica shook it off, then leaned in to hug him close, as Monica stood up she carried him in her arms.
Jackson tried to brush the snow off her face.
"You're a teaser you know that," She kissed his cheek before setting him back down.
Walking back over to the shovel to continue, Monica saw a car sitting in front of her house.
Chandler watched as Monica looked straight at him and took this as his cue to get out. Unbuckling, he opened up the door.
Monica's breath caught in her throat as he neared her. With each step he took she tried to hold back the tears.
Stopping in front of her, Chandler took a deep breath. Looking into her beautiful blue eyes, and before he did anything, he extended his hand introducing himself "Chandler."
Monica shook his hand silently
"Did you get my note?"
She nodded
"Did you get my check?"
She nodded again. "Chandler, you used maybe ten dollars worth of supplies."
It was silent. He didn't know what to say to that so he told her the truth "I left."
That was all he had to say? He left? Monica wanted to hit him. She wasn't to yell and ask why he left. but before she could he leaned in and kissed her.
Monica pushed him away instantly. "You have a fiancee." She scolded
"I left-"
"I know, you said that already." She said rather annoyed
He shook his head "I left her."
Monica was silent as he continued
"I realized that I didn't want a girl that wanted me just for my money. What we had together wasn't love, it was wealth." He explained "I want a girl that loves me for who I am not what I can offer. I want to enjoy marriage and have fun. That wasn't Kathy. In fact, that was the complete opposite of Kathy."
Monica slowly formed a smile as she saw where he was going with this.
"But the two days I spent with you..." He shook his head knowing how great it was "That was what I wanted in a relationship. Not just a wife, but a family."
Monica looked down "We barely know each other-"
"Yeah but that's the fun in it. We can build to that. We can learn about the past and the future of each other." He took her hands "Because, Monica, that is exactly what I want to do. I want to learn everything about you, what you like, what you dislike, your pet peeves..." He smiled when he saw her grin. "I want to be with you."
"Then why did you leave?" Her smile broke as she looked into his eyes
"Because I was falling for you and I knew I couldn't. Not with a fiancee." He told her truthfully
"What about the future? What about Jackson?"
"I love that kid so much." He smiled "I want to be apart of this; let me be apart of this. I want to be with you. We can move slow and enjoy the time. Whatever makes you comfortable with Jackson." He tried to convince her
Monica hesitated "There is one thing I need you to do first."
Chandler smiled "Anything."
She leaned in and he followed.
Stopped just centimeters from his lips she whispered "Help me get my son."
Chandler looked over and saw Jackson playing in the snow. He smiled back at Monica and let go of her hands.
As they both grabbed some snow, forming it into a snowball they walked up behind Jackson.
Jackson, who was busy getting icicles from the porch, didn't see them coming closer to him.
"Look at this big one!" He yelled, turning around right as they got there. Jackson smiled when he saw Chandler "You came back!" He lunged forward, hugging him with happiness without noticing the icicle that fell from his grip.
Chandler bent down and dropped the snow, picking Jackson up. "You can't keep me away."
Monica smiled at the two of them. She was happy, and seeing Jackson happy made her even more happy.
She raised her hand and threw her snow at Chandler's back.
Grinning when he turned around, Monica brushed off her gloves.
Chandler nodded and stood up "Jackson, do you know how to make a snowball?" He asked
He shook his head.
"Me either."
They both went over to a pile of snow and grabbed a bunch, throwing it at Monica when she ran.
Jackson abandoned the two a few minutes later when he found a leaf buried in the snow.
Chandler wrapped his arms around Monica and brushed the hair out of her face. "Can I kiss you?"
Monica held her breath and nodded, looking down from his eyes, to his rosy cheeks, and finally looking at his lips.
Chandler leaned in slowly and made contact.
Monica closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being with him. Hoping that this feeling won't end anytime soon, she wrapped her arms around him and brought him in closer.
That night as Monica tucked in Jackson Chandler sat in the living room, waiting for Monica to return.
"Is Chandler going to stay the night?"
She sat on the edge of his bed. "Not tonight."
"Am I going to see him again?" He asked next
"Yeah," she smiled "We are going to see Chandler a lot more."
"I didn't like when he left." Jackson said sadly
"Me neither." Monica leaned down and kissed him goodnight "I love you."
"I love you too."
She turned off the light and turned on his Batman night light. "Goodnight." She said softly before closing the door behind her.
Monica found Chandler on the couch waiting for her. She smiled and sat right next to him.
Wrapped his arm around her, she lied her head on his shoulder.
This felt nice, it felt comfortable.
"You know I would love to stay here, but I really gotta go." He kissed her forehead
"I know." She muttered as she retrieve her head and kissed him on the lips. "Come by tomorrow."
"After work." He stood up and went towards the door.
"Wait." Monica followed him "Tell me..." She folded her arms across her chest "What did you want to be growing up."
Chandler grinned and shook his head "I don't know."
"Yes you do, tell me." She pleaded
Chandler stood there looking in his new girlfriends eyes "You'll laugh."
"Well yeah, only if it was a clown or a comedian." She joked
Chandler smiled, he was falling in love with her already "I wanted to be a Cop." He admitted
Monica smiled
"See you're laughing."
She put her hand out "I am not." She protested "I think a Cop is a wonderful job and if that is what you want to do you should do it."
"Really?" He questioned, surprised. Kathy always hated a job like that for him. She said it didn't fit his personality
She nodded "I really do."
He leaned in and kissed her "Maybe I will, but right now I need to go home."
"Isn't she there though?" Monica questioned a little jealous as she followed him outside into the cold night.
"No, she is staying at her sisters for a couple weeks." He told her, turning around he grinned "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous." Monica shot back almost too quickly
He nodded slowly
"I'm not!" She repeated
Chandler made his way to his car "I'll see you tomorrow." He yelled back
"I'm not jealous!" She shouted
"Night Mon!" He got into the car
She shook her head and went back in the house, locking the door.
Thanks again for all the great reviews! I hope to continue with this story if you are still interested. This was probably the worst of the four chapters but like I always say...it's something. I just need to get the ball rolling if you want some Mondler ;)
