Thanks for all the great reviews! Here's another chapter :)
PREVIOUSLY ON FRIENDS:
Chandler heard Monica yell and ran in. He saw her on the floor with the guy that beat him on top of her. Monica was crying. Chandler jumped at him. He punched him over and over again. Taking all his anger out from last time.
Monica slipped out from his grip and moved to the side.
Pete was knocked out. Chandler went over to Monica and helped her up "You are okay?" He asked pulling her into a hug.
She cried on his shoulder not wanting to let go.
Chandler pulled her back and kissed her very passionately on the lips putting all his love into that one kiss "I will never let him hurt you again." He paused and looked into her tear stained eyes "I love you."
Monica looked at him and smiled "I love you too." She kissed him again.
Monica pulled away and rested her head against his shoulder. She looked at Pete who was still pasted out on the floor "What do we do about him?" She asked
"I got an idea..." He smiled
The cops came and took Pete in. He is now serving five years in jail.
Chandler called Noah and asked if he wanted to stay over at Holly's house that night so he can stay with Monica He agreed without reasoning. Noah liked Monica, and glad he gave her a chance with his dad.
Monica and Chandler were cuddled up on the couch talking. "So..." Monica started
Chandler smiled at Monica's attempt to start up a conversation "So..."
"What do you wanna do?" She asked looking at him.
"How about we finish where we left off..." He wrapped his arms around her waste and lied her down on the couch.
Monica pulled back "Wait...are you sure about this?" She asked
"Why not...I love you, you love me...why not?" He kissed her again
Monica kiss him longer this time before pulling back again "...What about Noah?" She asked
Chandler got up off her "Mon, he's fine about us..." He said motioning in between them "He is okay with us being together." He said
"Are you sure?"
Chandler sighed "Do you want me to call him?"
Monica grabbed his shirt and pulled him back down on top of her.
A week later, Chandler was in the stands watching Noah on the court. He turned towards the doors again for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Noah was down court waiting for the ball, he looked towards his dad and saw he wasn't watching him...
"Noah!" Noah turned his head just in time to see the ball hit him square in the face. He dropped to his knees in pain.
Chandler turned back when he heard the crowd, he looked for his son. He saw Noah crouched down on the floor. He got up and rushed to his side.
Chandler knelt down in front of him "Buddy you alright?" He asked. Noah looked up at his dad, he removed his hands from his face "Okay..." Chandler helped Noah stand. He helped him walk off the court and to the bench.
Chandler sat Noah down in the chair "Do you have any band-aids?" Chandler asked Ross
Ross checked his bag "No, we're all out...but I do know that the teachers have some in their classrooms in their fire safety bag. I think Monica is still in her room." He said
Chandler nodded and helped Noah back up "Do you know where her classroom is?" He asked
Noah nodded and walked to her room.
Monica stayed after school to finish grading the last of her papers.
She had her head in her hands trying to concentrate.
Noah knocked on her door before entering.
Monica jolted up when she heard someone knocking.
Noah walked in holding his nose. Monica stood up "Oh my God honey, what happened?" She asked going over to him.
"Basketball." Chandler answered for him. Monica nodded and sat him down in her chair. "We heard you have band-aids?"
Monica looked up at him "Sweetie, a band-aid doesn't work for your nose." She said simply. "Here..." She handed him a rag to stop the bleeding. "How did this happen?" She asked.
Noah didn't say anything he just pointed to Chandler.
"What did I do?" He asked
Noah pointed to his face.
Monica was looking back in forth from father to son."I'm lost..." She said quietly leaning up against her desk.
"This, I was looking for you in the stands, and saw that you weren't even watching me. That's when I got hit!" He said angrily.
"Don't look at me! Look at the ball!" He almost yelled
Noah stood up and brushed passed him out the door.
Monica looked at Chandler "Give him some time to cool off." She told him.
"Yeah, you're probably right..." He said
Ten minutes later Chandler walked out to his car and saw Noah standing there. "I'm sorry about before." Chandler apologized
"It's fine..." He said before getting in the car.
The next day at School Noah tried to keep his head down most of the time trying to hide his black eye. Steven came over to him "Nice black eye Bing." He laughed "What, was daddy not watching you? Was he to busy looking for his girlfriend?" He continued to laugh.
That's when Noah lost all control and jumped at him. Punching him in the face.
Everyone saw and crowded around. Monica quickly got up from her desk and ran over to them pushing people out of the way. She grabbed Noah off of Steven...
Chandler walked into the principles office and saw Noah and another student there with his parent. Then he saw Monica standing off to the side. "What happened?" He asked
"Have a seat Mr. Bing, I'm glad you can join us." The principle said
Chandler took a seat next to Noah.
"Your son Noah here, got into a fight with this young boy..." She pointed to Steven who had a bag of ice over his eye.
Chandler looked at his son "You did this? Why?" He asked
"Because he was making fun of you and Monica!" He said.
Monica's eyes got wide.
Steven looked at Chandler then Monica and back to Noah "Your dad is dating Ms. Geller?!" He asked shocked
Noah stayed quiet. Steven's dad looked to the principle "Isn't there a rule for this?" He asked
"No Sir, there is not."
"So teacher's can date students parents?" He asked
"Yes Sir, teacher's can date the students parent. They can date whomever they want, as long as it's not a student." She explained
Monica and Chandler looked at each other trying to hold their smile.
"You're kidding?"
Chandler cut in "Okay, if we are done here, I need to get back to work." He said standing up
"Wait Mr. Bing, we need to talk about Noah's punishment." She said. Chandler looked at Noah and sat back down.
"Now, in the rule book it clearly states that a student that starts a fight gets a three day suspension and loses all privileges in extracurricular or sports..." She explained
"WHAT! Sports! Why?" He got angry
"Sorry that's the rules."
"What about the other guy?" He asked
"As far as hitting and fighting, he didn't do anything, therefore he can stay in school..."
"What!..." Chandler stood up "Didn't you hear what he said to my son?" Chandler started to get even angrier.
Monica went over to him and pushed him back "Chandler...calm down."
"I will not calm down. My kid gets punished and the other guy gets away with it no problem!"
"Sir, you need to leave now."
Chandler threw up his arms and left. Noah followed shortly behind.
Steven kept looking at Monica in disbelief "You? And Him?" He asked
"What?" Monica asked confused
"You're going out with Noah's dad!" He said angry "Why him?"
Monica was now lost "What are you saying Steven?" She asked
"Don't you want someone a little more younger and cuter?" He asked
Monica smiled now knowing where he was getting to "Lets get back to class..." She said giving his dad a small smile and leading Steven back to the classroom.
Steven walked in but Monica stopped outside the door "I thought you guys already left?" She asked Chandler who was standing there.
"Noah's just getting his stuff." He explained still mad about the whole situation.
"Honey, I know your upset about all this. But he knew what he was getting into when he threw that first punch." Monica said. Chandler took a deep breath. "Look it's only a few days then he comes back."
"I can't believe this." He shook his head. Noah came out with his book bag.
"I'll bring by your work for you tonight." Monica told him.
"Okay." He said
She looked back to Chandler "It's only a few days..."
Noah was upset about having to miss school and not able to spend as much time with Holly, but he was actually enjoying not going. He got to sleep in late, he got to watch T.V. all day and he didn't have to worry about practice and staying after school almost everyday. This is probably the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Chandler got home from work and walked through the door. He was not happy about what he saw. The house was trashed; there were empty pop cans and chips all over the place, the music was blaring upstairs. Chandler marched upstairs not happy. He opened Noah's door and saw him with a set of head-phones on, playing a video game. He looked at his desk and saw the stack of books Monica dropped off for him the day before with garbage piled over them. Chandler marched over to the radio and turned it off.
Noah no longer heard his radio on, he turned around and saw his dad "Hey!"
Chandler walked over to his T.V. and unplugged it.
"HEY!" Noah yelled.
"You need to clean up your act! Your grounded, no T.V., computer, music, and your food has now been limited to a certain amount." He said leaving the room.
Noah got up off his beany-bag chair and followed him out the door "Have you lost your mind? You can't control the amount of food someone eats!" He said following him down the stairs "This isn't the Holocaust."
"It will be, compared to the way you've been eating." He said turning around "Clean this up." Chandler pointed to all the candy wrappers on the couch and table.
"UGH!"
Everyone was hanging out at Monica's apartment and talking "So I heard there was some excitement in your class today?" Joey asked Monica. She nodded "The new teacher gets a fight. And I've been here for five years and I haven't seen anything like that."
Everyone looked at Joey "What?"
"So how are things with Chandler?" Rachel asked
"Chandler? You're dating one of my players dads?" Ross asked
"It's going great." She smiled
"Do you think he could be the one?" Rachel asked "Does he love you? Do you love him?"
"Woah! Come on Rach, you know I don't kiss and tell." She smiled and got up off the kitchen chair to get a bottle of water.
Phoebe gasped "You're in love..." She smiled
Monica couldn't help but grin wider.
"Did you tell him yet?" She then asked
"Actually, we both said it the night Pete got arrested." She said
"Awww...it's just like what they say." Phoebe said smiling
"What are you talking about Pheebs?" Ross asked
"They say that no one knows true love until someone is put in jail." She said
"What? Who told you that?" The all asked
"My mom..."
Everyone nodded "Oh...yeah...okay."
The next day Chandler pulled in the driveway and saw Noah shooting hoops outside. He got out of the car "Hey."
Noah didn't respond. He just kept his eye on the ball. You know, in case he got hit.
Once he shot the ball, Chandler hurried and grabbed it before it bounced back to him. "What? I can't play basketball now?" He asked
Chandler dribbled it around. "You want it, come get it." He smiled
Noah hesitated, waiting for the right moment to grab it. He quickly tried swatting it away "Oh, you almost had it." He smiled
Noah couldn't help but smile. This time he moved his feet and tried to grab it quicker.
Grabbing the ball from his dad, Noah dribbled it around him and to the basket. Shooting it, he scored.
They ended up playing one on one for awhile until Holly came over "Hey!"
Noah stopped what he was doing and saw Holly coming up "Hey!" He smiled
"I brought by your homework for Ms. Geller." She said handing him his books
"Thanks, uh, why are you bringing me my work? Not that I'm complaining, but she always brought it to me." He said
"She wasn't at school today." She said simply shrugging her shoulders. "Mind if I join? My mom won't be home for another couple hours." She said
"Sure."
"Why don't you guys play for a while, I need to go do something." Chandler said going inside.
Chandler put down his brief case from work and went over and grabbed the phone. He dialed the number he knew so well.
Monica heard the phone ring and slowly got up out of bed to answer it. "Hello?" She said with a stuffy nose.
Chandler heard her voice "Aw, Sweetie are you sick?" He asked hearing how bad she sounded.
"I'm not sick I'm just..." She pause
Chandler heard her sneeze on the other end "Get some rest. I'm coming over." He said then hung up.
Monica brought the phone with her to bed and fell asleep right when her head hit the pillow
About twenty minutes later Chandler left his house telling Noah where he was going.
He walked up the stairs to her apartment and let himself in knowing where the spare key was hidden, above the door frame.
Chandler put his stuff on the counter and walked to Monica's room. He saw her asleep with her mouth partly open and a box of tissues near by. She had the phone in her hand and the cover's halfway down her body. Chandler pulled the covers up to her chin and kissed her forehead. She felt warm.
Monica woke up and saw Chandler sitting by her side.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked feeling her forehead again twenty minutes after he arrived.
"You should go home, I don't want to get you sick."
"I don't mind." He said softly stroking her hair.
"You're so sweet." She smiled then coughed violently.
Chandler rubbed her back. "I made you some chicken noddle soup, you want some?" He asked softly
"Yes please." She said
Chandler kissed Monica once more on the forehead then left to go heat up some soup for her.
Monica got up out of bed and slowly walked out to the kitchen with her box of tissues.
Chandler watched her walk to the kitchen table and sit down "You should stay in bed, I could have brought it to you." He said pouring the soup in a bowl for her.
"I've been in bed all day." She said taking a bite "Thank you." She gave him a smile.
"You're welcome." He smiled watching her blow on her soup. "Are you going to be okay by yourself tonight?" He asked
"Yeah...I'll be fine." She said a little hesitant.
Chandler put back on his jacket "I gotta get going." He said going over to her "I love you." He was about to kiss her on the lips.
Monica stopped him "I don't want to get you sick..." She said sad that she couldn't kiss her boyfriend goodbye.
"It's one kiss, I'll be fine..." He went in and gave her a kiss
"I love you too." She said before he left.
The next morning Monica felt ten times better and was ready to go back to work. She decided to bring Chandler's bowl that had the soup in it back to him before she went to school.
She pulled up to his house at 6:55 a.m. thinking Chandler should be up and getting ready for work himself. She walked up to the door and knocked. A couple minutes later a tired looking Noah answered the door. "Hey I just came by to drop this off." She said handing him the dish.
"Thanks..." He said about to fall asleep.
"You look really tired. Didn't sleep well?" She asked
"No, dad kept me up all night coughing." He said
"Coughing?..." Monica covered her mouth.
Noah stepped aside knowing she would want to come in.
Monica did so and walked upstairs to his room. She quietly opened the door.
Chandler watched as Monica walk in "What are you doing here?" He asked
"I told you you shouldn't have kissed me..." She said softly sitting on the end of his bed.
He sneezed "You should go, I don't want you to be late for work." He said with a stuffy nose.
"Okay, just give me a kiss goodbye..." She smiled
"No, you should go or I'm going to get you sick again." He said
"I don't care." She leaned in and kissed him.
Chandler kissed back softly.
When they broke away Monica said "Have room for one more in that bed?" Monica said seductively
Chandler smiled
A couple hours later Noah walked through the door with two bowls of Chicken Noddle Soup. He handed them both one "You guys make me sick..." He said before leaving.
