Chapter 7 – Chandlers reaction

Chandler opened the bathroom door and found Phoebe, Rachel with Monica who was holding a blue pregnancy test. "Is…is, that positive" he chocked dropping flowers from his hands and running out of the room.

The room was silent until Monica spoke, "Oh my God that did not just happen" she said dropping her test in the trash and washing her hands. She picked up the flowers and read the note out loud.

Monica,

Sorry I was such a Jerk

Love Chandler

As a tear rolled down her cheek Rachel asked "Honey are you ok?" putting her hand on her shoulder.

"There's no time for that, get up woman, go get him fast" Phoebe said cutting in.

"I can't, I can't" Monica repeated.

"Why!" Phoebe and Rachel said together.

"Because…Because I just can't, you saw how he reacted what do I say to that, I wouldn't know where to begin." Monica said.

Her friends had never seen Monica so defeated, she was usually so in control of her emotions but it was obvious the last week had taken its toll and she needed their help.

"Honey…" Rachel began looking around "Can we get out of the bathroom" They all walked out of the bathroom and took a seat in the living room. "Chandler obviously got through what you told him about your relationship, you will get through this together too.

"It's not the same, Chandler was ready to know about us, I just don't see him ready to be a father I mean he was freaked out about your pregnancy" Monica said and her friends just looked at her weird. "The point is, this would be a shock without the amnesia and now the whole situation we are in is just making it worse." She said making her point.

"Well I'm not going to just let you accept defeat" Phoebe said enthusiastically getting up and walking out of the apartment. Monica's worried look made Rachel react.

"I'll go get her" she said getting up soon after her.

Joey was startled by an upset Chandler storming into the apartment and slumping onto the lounger. "Women" he mumbled to himself.

"Dude what's up" he said "Did something go wrong?"

"Yea…this" he said pointing to the stitches in his head rolling his eyes. "And…I think Monica is pregnant" he said looking at the floor.

"That's great!" Joey shouted and stopped cold when he noticed Chandler was glaring at him. "Uh… no it's a bad thing" he said. Chandler looked once again looked at the floor and there was a moment of silence before Joey added "Why is this a bad thing?"

"Because man…I'm just not ready for the wife, the kids and the house with the white picket fence." He said Joey just looked at him weird.

"What fence?" he asked, Chandler just rolled his eyes.

"No man that's the old you talking," Ross said exiting the bathroom and catching the end of their conversation. "You guys are just right for each other just face it you both sucked at dating…we all envy what you have together."

"I'm so sick of hearing how I should be reacting instead of what I feel I should be doing myself" Chandler defended himself.

"So how do you feel?" Joey asked him.

"I'm… I'm just not ready for a baby" Chandler said.

"Monica's pregnant?" Ross shouted "Oh my…" Ross stopped when he noticed the signs Joey was giving him.

"He thinks Monica is pregnant" Joey added.

"What's that supposed to mean" Ross asked.

"Well I didn't stick around to find out, I just freaked out, which is what I have been doing a lot of lately" he said he stopped deep in thought.

"Listen man you can't hide from a problem like this… whether you like it or not it is happening." Joey said.

"I guess I could get used to a little baby handing around, how much space could they take up." He said.

"Yea and besides I was exactly the same when I found out about Ben, and the day he was born it just fit, and I knew my life would never be the same again." Ross said. Chandler looked like he was going to chock. "Uhh sorry man I meant in a good way..." but it was too late he had already stormed into Joey's spare room. At that time Phoebe stormed in"

"Where is he?" she asked assertively. The boys pointed and she headed for the room in a fast pace.

"But I don't think that's such a…" Ross started but Phoebe slammed the door behind her before he could finish.

Rachel had now appeared in the doorway, "What is she doing?" she asked worried.

"Who knows but she can't do any worse than Ross" Joey said glancing at him.

They were silent from hearing sounds of Phoebe yelling they all got up and ran to the door to listen.

II

Chandler jumped at the sound of the door slamming. "Phoebe, what are you…." He began.

"You listen to me Chandler Bing" Phoebe said pointing at him and yelling loudly, "Monica is very important to me and a lot of other people and if you screw with her you screw with me and I will kick your ass if you hurt her so you better make the better decision here" she said breathing heavily. Chandler just starred at her with wide eyes, shocked.

"Phoebe I care about her too" he said.

"So don't be suck a jerk" she yelled again even louder in he face which caused him to jump off his bed and try and move around her but she kept eye contact with him turning around.

"Your right phoebe" he said trying to calm her which caused the tension in the room to drop.

"Oh and just for the record, I think you're a great guy" she said smiling sweetly.

Chandler smiled at her and headed for the door but before he opened it he turned to her saying "Thanks, and wow you're good."

As he opened the door Ross, Joey and Rachel all shifted positions quickly.

"Oh yes your right that spot on the wall is a squished bug" Joey said picking at the wall. Chandler just looked at them.

"Real smooth guys" he said heading out of the apartment and into the one across the hall.

When he left they all turned to Phoebe. "Wow what did you do to him" Ross said to her.

She just smiled devilishly. "It's my charm, my little puppets."

II

Chandler entered the apartment and found Monica sitting on the couch with her back to him with her head in her hands.

"No chance you cheated on me while I was in a coma" he said sarcastically walking towards her.

"Not funny Chandler" Monica said with her back still facing him. Her eyes were now on the floor. "Oh and before you freak out, those tests are almost always wrong, so I made a doctors appointment tomorrow to make sure"

"I'm so sorry Monica" he said walking closer. "This whole ordeal has to be just as hard on you as anyone else, and as far as this baby goes, if it turns out positive as long as we have each other it will be ok. Besides I have nine months to get used to it"

When he finally reached her he was on his knees placing one hand on her shoulder and resting his chin on the back of the couch.

As Monica turned around to face him she noticed the kindness in his eyes, he was genuinely sorry, "I love you so much…how can you be so perfectly understanding" she said.

"I love you too…" he said smiling and realizing how close they were as he studied every inch of her face. "Wow you're beautiful, how did I ever get someone so beautiful."

Monica smiled sweetly and blushed, even thought they had been together for so long, she felt like a school girl with her first crush. "No I'm the lucky one" she said leaning in closer.

Their eye contact was broken when Monica eyes seemed to be looking over Chandler's head. Chandler looked behind him and saw the rest of the gang hanging in the doorway listening in. "You know guys" Chandler said "You're not invisible"

"Awww you guys made up" Joey said and rushed over to the living room with the others close behind. Everyone sat amongst them not realizing the moment that they ruined but somehow Chandler and Monica knew it wouldn't be the last.
