I know this fic seems to be a little bit leaning on the soap opera genre. But I really love soap operas you know. How the writers make your mind wander at night. Thinking what will happen next. And I know that some of the situations here are unlikely to be "Mondler", but I just looove stories that would constantly make people think of what will happen next. :) So, as I continue the 7th chapter. I know some of you may seem confused and feel that there are a lot of unanswered questions, but actually I was doing it to add suspense to the story. I hope this chapter would help answer some of your questions.:) Enjoy!

"How do you know about Kathy?" Chandler asked Monica with a slight confusion in his tone.

"She told me about the night you spent together." Monica sat down on the couch and explained to Chandler how she found out about him and Kathy.

Flashback:

Night after Chandler found out about the fertility results

"Chandler, you're drunk! What is wrong with you? I was worried as hell as to where you've been. I asked everyone where you could've been but no one knew where you were." Monica was helping Chandler to his bedroom because his flail body could no longer take the amount of alcohol he drank.

"None sense! I was just around the corner! Drinking my troubles away! I have to loosen up ya'know." Chandler defended why he was drunk that night.

After Chandler heard what Dr. Acosta told him about the fertility results, he felt his world was crumbling. He and Monica are destined to be together, and this not being able to conceive will surely be a problem in their relationship. He didn't want more problems. He had too much of it! Since he had this relationship with Monica, all kinds of problems came their way. First, they had to hide it to everyone, so they had to sneak around every time they want to do it. Then last Thanksgiving, Monica invited her parents to her apartment. Her parents didn't know that they were together, and on his side, he didn't know that they loathe him. So he had to put out a skit for them to like him, but he found himself unsuccessful with his plan. So ever since, Monica's parents have been constantly breaking them up, in an indirect manner I guess? But still hated him and wanted him out of Monica's life. He once even heard Monica talking to her mom on the phone.

"Mom, I love Chandler! There's nothing you could do to break us up…….. What do you mean that he'll cheat on me? No! He'll never do that! I can assure you that he'll never do such thing! Chandler's a decent and honest person. He would never cheat on his girlfriend…………………… He was immature but he's changed. I know he's changed. In fact, he wants us to have a baby soon. That's how he loves me!"

Chandler heard the conversation Monica had with her mother. He didn't knew whether he'd want to kiss Monica for standing by his side when her mother was accusing him with things, or he'd feel pressured that one wrong move would actually lead to something big.

And of course, yet the biggest problem that came their way was when he learned about the fertility results. Sure, they had a small chance, like what Dr. Acosta said, about 1, but he knows that it would make Monica feel that she's unworthy of becoming a mother that's why they weren't able to conceive. And on his side, it was his first time to do something 'mature' and then it'd just ended up fruitless.

All of these were in Chandler's thoughts. He wanted all his problems to just go away. He knew that breaking up with Monica was the solution for all of these to go, but he loved her. And she couldn't live without her.

"Chandler, Chandler! Listen to me!" Monica was trying to get Chandler's attention, who seemed to be drifting away to some thought he had on his mind.

"What? Is something wrong? Oh no! Something's wrong again? Why is there always something wrong?" Chandler couldn't take it anymore. The more he thinks about his problems, the more he feels the wrath of being in that problem.

"What do you mean something's wrong again? We don't have a problem. There is nothing wrong with us." Monica was confused as to what Chandler had just blurted out.

"Nothing's wrong? Are you sure nothing's wrong? Ever since we've been together, we've been having all these problems!"

"Like what?" Monica was still perplexed with Chandler's thoughts.

"Like the time we were sneaking around. Or the time when you had to 'save' me from your parent's wrath! How about we turn off this 'pressure cooker' "

"So you're just throwing this at me now? Hey Chandler, for your information, it wasn't my fault that my parents don't like you! You were the one who was acting too 'Chandler' that's why they didn't like you! You know what, if you're just gonna act this way tonight, I think I better talk to you when you're all sober. I can't handle another minute of your silliness." Monica reached for the door and slammed it to show her rage towards Chandler.

Chandler, who was left sitting on the couch found himself drowning from the mix of alcohol and his rage. He couldn't believe that he was having this fight with Monica, their first one, and it was really painful. It was too painful to know that you're the reason why the person you love so much is crying.

"Hey, tough night?" Chandler was startled. He was surprised to see Kathy enter his apartment.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Joey's not here… and I think that he'd be home late so I guess you should better go." Chandler remembered that Joey was in another date with another woman and told Chandler to tell Kathy that he's been busy that's why he wasn't there.

"I can't leave you like this. Look at you, you're a mess. Hey common, tell what your problem is, and I will help you forget about it." Kathy then joined him on the couch and Chandler started to tell about his problems and about Monica's parents.

They have been having this wonderful conversation and it really helped Chandler forget about his problems. It was also surprising to know that Chandler had been so drunk but he hasn't passed out yet. They were just chatting about the chick and the duck when suddenly, they found themselves look into each other's eyes. She started kissing him and he responded to it. The peck on the lips became a passionate kiss, and soon he led her to his bedroom.

Though Chandler had a one night stand with Kathy, this never broke Monica and Chandler apart. Chandler chose to just keep it to himself knowing that if Monica knew about this, it'll surely be the end of it. Chandler never wanted to be away from Monica, the alcohol that night was just tricking his emotions that night. The next day, Chandler had the courage to say sorry for the mistakes he'd done the night before, and Monica, who was convinced that Chandler was sincere, accepted his apology.

6 weeks after that, Monica was cleaning Joey and Chandler's apartment when suddenly the phone rang. She always answered the phone for them, but this time, she chose to just let the machine pick up the message.

Beep Hey Chandler, it's me Kathy. I just want to tell you that I just came from the clinic and had myself tested. Chandler, I feel such a bad person for leaving this message on you machine but… Chandler, I'm pregnant. And you're the father. Beep

When Monica heard the message, she was in total shock. How could Chandler be the father of Kathy's baby if he never slept with her? She then found herself pressing the erase button of the machine. But then, she suddenly realizes what happened 6 weeks ago, the drunken Chandler, who was prone to doing something stupid. The first thing that entered Monica's mind was why Chandler didn't say anything about that night. And then she suddenly found herself rushing to the door and leaving the boy's apartment. She knew she was going somewhere, but she let her feet guide the way. She suddenly realizes that she was at Kathy's front door. She wanted to slap her and curse her for sleeping with his boyfriend, but she knew she had to be the better person. So she knocked on the door hoping she could have this conversation with Kathy.

When Kathy saw Monica at her doorstep, she was surprised. She was wondering what brought Monica to her house and it never came to her mind that Monica knew about her and Chandler's baby.

"What brings you here?" Kathy asked.

"I know about the night you spent with Chandler. And I know about your condition." Monica found the courage to tell it straight to Kathy.

"Oh... I … I don't know what to say next. Are you here because Chandler sent you?"

"No! No… I heard the message you left in his machine I went up here to ask…." Monica found herself struggling to continue the next lines.

"If I will ask Chandler to marry me?" Kathy continued it for Monica.

Monica, dreading what Kathy's response would be, nodded to signify that it was the question she was gonna ask.

"No. I'm not gonna ask Chandler to marry me. I actually called him up to inform him of my condition, but I have no plans of keeping the baby." Kathy said it casually.

"What? What do you mean?"

"I'm an actress. If I get pregnant, less people would actually want me! So I had to choose between my career and the baby, and I choose my career." Kathy said without feeling the hesitation of killing an innocent baby to save her almost dying career.

"You can't do that to Chandler! It's his own flesh and blood. You can't just tell him that your pregnant and he's the father and decide that you wont keep it. Chandler wouldn't let you do that. I won't let you do that!" Monica insisted on Kathy's decision.

"But I can't handle a child. My work starts early and ends late. I could never afford a nanny. There would be no one left in the house to feed the baby."

"What if I take care of the baby?" Monica offered a solution to Kathy that never in her whole life she thought of taking care of his boyfriend's baby with another girl.

"What do you mean?" Kathy who was confused at that moment.

"Do not kill your baby. I will take care of her. I will adopt her. We'll go to another state and I'll take care of both of you until you give birth of the child. And after you give birth to you child, you'd come back to New York and I'll stay there." Monica explained to Kathy what she had in mind.

"Alone? You won't be telling it to Chandler?"

"No. If I tell him, then he'll know that he messed up and that I found out about it. He'd feel that he's the reason why our relationship didn't work, and I don't want him to think of him like that. I'd rather want him to think of me as the reason why we broke up, and not because of his mistake. I don't want him to lose face to my friends or my family if they find out what Chandler did." Monica explained hoping not to sound crazy.

"You're willing to give up everything?"

"Yes. Because I love him. I love him more than anything. I love him more than anyone."
