Thank you all so much for your reviews, they really do help to encourage to write more.


They left Ross to it and headed for Monica's apartment, ready to tell the others.

Phoebe, Rachel and Joey were already siting around the table talking about their weekend. They didn't really pay much attention to Monica and Chandler, other than a quick hi. That was until Monica got out a fresh ice pack for Chandler' eye, where a dark bruise was already starting to appear

"Dude, who did that to you? Tell me who it was and we will go back and get them good." Joey was already to leave the apartment "we can get Ross he won't be much use, but numbers will be good."

"There will be no point since Ross is the one who did it." Chandler said before Joey actually left.

With that admission all three started asking questions at the same time. Chandler held a hand up "One question at a time. Please." His head was starting to hurt.

"Why would Ross do that?" Rachel asked looking at Monica and Chandler.

"It may have something to do with the fact that I have been sleeping with his sister." Chandler bit his lip, he hadn't meant to blurt it out like that. He gave Monica an apologetic look, she just rolled her eyes at him.

"What! What is with you and sisters Man?" This had come from Joey, who was still angry at Chandler for making out with his own sister. "Who is she anyway? Do we know her?" The other four people in the room all stared at Joey, who clearly didn't understand why.

"Err I'm Ross' sister Joey!" Monica supplied for him.

"What!" Joey said again, the full force of what his friends were telling him.

"Why would you do that Chandler?" Phoebe need information, how hadn't she picked up on this, normally she was so good.

"So is this new sleeping together or did he find out about before?" Rachel asked, she wasn't really surprised. They did have a lot of history.

"Both really." Monica sat down exhausted, wishing this day was over.

"What do you mean before? When did it happen before?" Joey Was more confused now than before.

"About 10 years ago." Monica looked at Rachel, who reached out and patted her hand. She still remembered how hard that time in Monica's life had been.

"Does he know?" She asked quietly just to Monica. Who could only nod her head.

"Yeah he knows." Chandler went round to his girlfriend, rubbing her arms and then placed a kiss on top of her head. He wasn't angry about not being told, not anymore. Monica moved her head back so she leant against Chandler. Who in return gave her a soft smile.

"Wow, so you two are like in love and everything." Phoebe had been watching them since the big reveal. It was obvious now, just how serious they were.

"Yeah Phebs, we are." Chandler looked down at Monica as he answered Phoebe's question."there is something else too. 10 years ago, Monica may have gotten pregnant."

Joey who hand been standing up, almost fell into the nearest chair at this latest news. Then he looked around the room, almost as if he was expecting a baby to come crawling out from somewhere.

"The baby isn't here Joe. She was adopted." Chandler said.

Phoebe started thinking about how hard it had been for her to give up the triplets, and she knew from the beginning that was the plan. She couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for Monica.

"Her grandmother came round last night, she wants us to meet Emma." Monica said this pretty much to Rachel.

"Well that's great Mon, that's what you have always wanted. Right?"

"Sure, it's going to be terrifying, but I have always wondered about her."

They seemed to have forgot everyone around them. It had been them from the beginning. Monica was happy that she had Chandler, but having Rachel who was there at the time was going to be a big help.

For Joey, he couldn't quiet believe Chandlers's reaction. It was like someone had replaced his best friend with a mature, responsible adult. He would have thought that Chandler would have ran for the hills at the mention of a baby, well child now. Joey himself certainly would, he shuddered at the thought. He was going to start investing in some more expensive condoms.

"When are you going to meet her Mon?" Phoebe asked.

"We don't know yet, we wanted to tell you guys first. Especially Ross."

"You total deserve that punch by the way Chandler." If that had been one of Joey's sisters, Chandler would have got more than a punch.

"Gee thanks Joe." Chandler patted his eye, he swore he could feel it getting bigger.

Monica turned to Chandler "I guess we should call Joyce this afternoon."

"If you are ready."

"I have been ready for years."

Chandler understood the look in her eyes, he may have only found out last night, but ever since he has wanted to arrange this meeting.

Rachel, Phoebe and Joey wanted to give the couple some space, so they left to go and get some coffee. Leaving them with hugs and good lucks on the way out.

Monica picked up the phone and the piece of paper that she had looked at just a few times since it had been handed over. She sat on the couch, with Chandler sitting next to her. He took her hand, giving it an encouraging squeeze. "It will be fine Monica. What ever happens I am here."

Monica smiled at him, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. Dialing he phone it seemed forever until the other end was answered.

"Hello."

"Hi, Joyce, Monica Geller here. You said to call you when we were ready to arrange a meeting."

"Monica, I am surprised to here from you so soon. I thought you would need a couple of days. It wasn't a small thing I dropped on your plate."

Monica smiled again, this time it was a real one. "Well, I have been thinking about this for sometime."

"Good to hear that. There is someone this end also looking forward to it."

At this news Monica's eyes started to well up. "Really?"

Chandler really wished he could hear the other side of the conversation, he wanted to know what had been said to put the wondrous look on Monica's face.

"Oh yes, she has wanted to meet you for sometime. Just with everything that has happened. It has been difficult. Emma was very happy to hear that it wasn't just yourself she gets to meet. Very inquisitive child, she hasn't stopped asking questions."

"We would like to meet her as soon as is convenient for yourselves."

"How does the weekend sound? You can come here. Spend the day. Then we can take it from there." She then proceeded to rattle off her address, Monica had never been happier that she always kept a notepad by the phone.

"That sounds great. Thank you Joyce." Monica wished that it was sooner but the weekend was a better time as they would get all day with her.

"See you then bye."

"Bye Joyce."

"Well?" Chandler asked as soon as Monica hung up the phone.

"How do you fancy meeting your daughter this weekend?"

"Wow so soon?" He tried not to panic too much at that thought. It was all happening so fast.

"Yep, apparently she has been asking a lot of questions about us."

Chandler laughed at that piece of information,"Wonder where she got that from."

Monica felt the happiest she had been in ages. There were no more secrets, everyone knew everything and she hasn't lost anyone. On top of it all, she was going to get to Emma after all this time.
