Thank you for reviewing. Also thank you Mondlerfan101 for the idea for this chapter.
Jack and Erica are 8. Blake is 3. The one that Monica got pregnant with in the last chapter is now 2 and her name is Mia.
Monica had Blake and Mia in the backseat while she went to get Jack and Erica from school. She only worked while the Jack and Erica were in school. Her mom watched Blake and Mia.
She pulled into the pick up line. Jack and Erica got in.
"How was school?" She asked looking in the backseat at them before driving off.
"Good." They both said.
"Mommy?" Jack asked.
"Yes honey." She said and turned down the car radio.
"Can we get a puppy?" He asked.
"Yes." Blake chimed in. He loved dogs.
Monica knew that question was coming. All of Jack and Erica's friends had pets. "We'll have to ask daddy about that." She said.
Jack and Erica knew that Chandler always got home a little bit after they did everyday. So they waited by the window.
When he walked in they both ran to hug him just like they did every day.
"Hey guys." He said and bent down to kiss them then picked up Blake.
"Daddy, Jack has an important question." Erica said.
"What's that?" Chandler asked. He put Blake down and picked up Mia who held on tight to him.
"I asked mommy for a puppy and she said we had to talk to you first." Jack said.
"Actually I'm glad you brought that up." He said and walked into the kitchen so Monica could hear as well. He kissed her on the lips. "A guy I work with has a minute collie. She had puppies 8 weeks ago and he's looking for homes for them."
"Oh can we get one." Jack begged.
"Jack and I will take care of it." Erica said.
Monica looked at Chandler and nodded. "Sure we can." Chandler said and the kids cheered.
That Saturday, they picked up the puppy.
"What are you guys going to name her?" Chandler asked once they got home. He sat beside Monica and put his arm around her.
"Bell." Mia said. She really loved beauty and the beast.
"Mommy." Blake said. This was his answer for everything.
"Princess." Erica said.
Jack thought about it for a minute. "I like Abby." He said. Abby was the name of the dog on his favorite movie.
The puppy came to Abby so that was her name. Chandler made a bed for her in the garage that night. All the kids wanted her to sleep with them but Monica and Chandler protested.
After about a month of training Abby was trained pretty well. She didn't use the bathroom inside. She didn't jump and she was gentle with the kids.
