Chandler walked into his apartment that he had now been sharing with Monica for a couple of months. Graduation was last week and with Monica being 5 months pregnant now, they found out they're having a boy. Also Monica was looking at colleges nearby. She decided to do them online considering she would be starting when she was 8 months pregnant.
"Mon." He called out when he sat his stuff down. She never responded to him so he pulled his phone out of his pocket and called her. "Where are you?" He asked curiously.
"Rachel told me about some stores in the mall having some sales on baby clothes so I thought I would take a look with her." She said as she examined a baby blanket. A couple weeks ago she started working as a hostess at a seafood place.
He smiled. "Ok have a good time."
When they hung up, Chandler walked into the room that would soon be their sons. There was a brown crib already sat up with zoo animal bedding in it. The walls were a baby blue and there was a few stuffed animals in the crib. He just stood in the door way and looked around. He couldn't believe this was all really happening. Here he was about to turn 23 and he was going to be a dad. Then there was Monica. She was only 18, she had a future ahead of her and she was stuck here with him.
"I got to get out of here." He whispered to himself. He wasn't ready to be a dad. What if we can't take care of him? What if we won't be good parents? What if we can't give him everything he needs? All of those thoughts were going through his head as he left the apartment.
A couple of hours later, Rachel helped Monica bring everything inside.
"Where's Chandler?" Rachel asked when Chandler was nowhere in sight.
Monica shrugged. "I'm not sure. He was here when he called me earlier."
Rachel looked at Monica and saw a surprised look on her face. "You ok?" She asked.
Monica smiled. "Yes, he's kicking."
Rachel smiled too and put her hand on Monica's stomach. "Wow that's amazing. It's a shame that Chandler isn't here."
Monica nodded sadly. "Yeah I wish he was."
After Rachel left, Monica still waited for Chandler to get home.
"I was so worried about you." Monica said when Chandler walked in after she spent a couple hours trying to get a hold of him.
"I'm sorry. I have a confession to make." He sat beside her on their bed.
She looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
He took a deep breath. "I freaked out today. I freaked out big time. I just had to go think and so I did. Sitting here made me realize how young we are. Then I started questioning the fact that I may not be able to give this baby everything he needs. I'm just worried about being a good dad."
She slowly raised her hand and touched his face sweetly. "Chandler I love you so much and I am not going to lie. I have been scared lately too. This whole thing is scary. If you don't want to do this."
He stopped her from talking. "I never said I didn't want to do this. I would never leave the two of you." He kissed her lips sweetly and with passion. "I love you." He told her against her lips.
She smiled when they pulled apart. "I love you too."
He held her hand on his lap. "We'll get through this together ok?"
She was glad to hear him say that. She cuddled up against him. "Ok." There was silence for a little while and Monica talked again. "You missed something today."
He looked at her confused. "What did I miss?"
She sat up and took his hand then placed it where their son was kicking.
His face lit up. "Wow that feels so weird and cool."
They laid in bed feeling him kick until Monica fell asleep so Chandler covered her up with the blanket.
He sat back on the bed and noticed how she was clearly showing under the blanket. He softly put his hand on her stomach, careful not to wake her up. "I don't know how I am going to take care of you and I have no idea how to be a good dad but we can learn this whole thing together." He whispered.
The next morning when Monica woke up, Chandler was using his computer at the kitchen table.
"What are you doing?" Monica asked and grabbed a bagel.
"Looking at our money." He grabbed her hips and pulled her on his lap. "It turns out, even with everything we have to buy for this baby, we'll still be ok every month."
She kissed his lips. "So you're better now?"
He nodded. "Much better. Are you still scared?"
"Of course. I have to push a baby out of me in 4 months." She giggled.
He kissed her back. "And I'll be there with you the whole time."
