Again I'm updating on my iPod and I know nothing about pregnancy so be nice if I make a mistake.


It was 2:19am and Monica was getting ready to go round to Chandlers, she was now 10 weeks pregnant and had started to get a tiny bump, apparently because she was pretty skinny she would show quicker. She still hadn't told anyone other than Rachel and Phoebe so she grabbed a large sweatshirt to cover her bump and headed over to Chandlers.

She opened his door and found him sat on the couch with a glass of champagne in each hand. "Now I know it's a bit too early in the morning to be drinking, but it's just the one glass." He smiled and handed her the glass.

She gave him a nervous smile, "Uhm thank you but I think I'll pass, I'm not feeling to good."

"Oh okay, well is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine... Actually, no it's not, Chandler I need to talk to you about something."

"Oh okay."

Monica took a seat next to him on the couch. "Before I tell you this, I just want you to know that I love you, and I hope you don't judge me." She took a deep breath before speaking again. "Chandler, I'm pregnant."

Chandler sat there staring at her. Had he heard her correctly? "Is it uh- is it mine?"

Tears started to roll down Monica's face, "I'm not sure." She said quietly.

"You're not sure? What do you mean you're not sure? Are you sleeping with someone other than me?"

"I'm not a slut Chandler okay? Just because I'm sleeping with you behind my husbands back doesn't mean I'm cheating on you as well, for gods same Chandler I love you!" Her voice raising slightly.

"Mon I'm sorry, okay I know, and I love you too. But who's the other possible father?" He asked nervously, not sure if he wanted to know or not.

"It's Richard."

Hearing that her husband was the other possible father really shocked him, he thought she hated Richard? The conversation he and Phoebe had a couple months back replayed in his mind. "Monica do you still love Richard?"

"What? No! Of course not! Why?"

"So why did you sleep with him?"

She couldn't tell Chandler what Richard had done to her, do hadn't done it since that night, he hasn't even hit her much lately. "I did it so he wouldn't hurt me, I was in so much pain from the last beating I couldn't handle another. Please forgive me. It meant nothing to me. Honest. I don't love him. I love you." She leaned forward and kissed Chandler gently on the lips, he kissed her back and slowly started to lie her down on the couch. He quickly pulled back, Monica looked at him, hurt that he pulled away from her.

"No Mon don't worry, I wanna do this, it just, feels weird doing it while you've got a person growing inside you."

Monica laughed, " I know what you mean. So you're happy about me being pregnant?"

"Over the moon." He smiled, kissing her again.

"So.. will you stay with me? Even if it isn't your child?"

"of course, I'd never leave you Mon. I love you."

"I love you too."

"So what did Richard say when he found out?" Monica looked away from him. "He doesn't know does he? Mon what's be gonna say when he finds out?"

" He's not going to find out. Because I'm leavening him before the baby is born."

Chandler couldn't help but smile. "Seriously?" Monica smiled and nodded her head in response. "Oh my god, you're actually gonna do it, you're actually gonna leave him!" Chandler pulled her in for a hug and they sat there for ages talking about doctors appointments and names and just basic parenting stuff.

Monica looked at the clock, it was 5:37 and Richard would be waking up in about an hour. She turned and looked at Chandler who was snoring peacefully. Not wanting to wake him up, she climbed out of the bed as quietly as se could and headed back to her apartment. She didn't want to climb in bed next to Richard so she made herself some coffee (decaf) and watched some TV. She heard a noise coming from her bedroom, Richard came out momenta after looking confused. "What are you doing out here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I made myself some coffee and decided to watch some TV." She wouldn't make eye contact with him.

"Oh, okay. You coming to bed?"

"No in just gonna stay here." She didn't know if it was the wisest move, but she wasn't bothered at that moment in time. His response shocked her.

"Okay.. I love you." He walked back into the bedroom and closed the door, she could of sworn she could hear him crying. Why didn't he argue back? And why did he say he loved her? He hadn't said it to her in years. Monica stayed seated on the couch until it was time to make breakfast.


"It was so weird Pheebs, he said it like he meant it as well."

"Maybe he did, maybe he's changed and he's sorry. I'm not saying you should forgive him and start loving him again, because I think that's pretty stupid. So how did Chandler take it?"

"Surprisingly well, he even said he'd stay with me if it wasn't his child. At first he freaked out and assumed I was cheating on him like I am Richard, but once I explained it to him, he got so excited and just talked about names and appointments and houses. It was amazing."

"So Richard still doesn't know?"

"Nope, and he'll never find out. Because I'm leaving him before the baby comes."

"Seriously? Oh Mon that's amazing news! Where are you going to stay?"

"I don't know, I can't stay with Chandler because he lives right across the hall from Richard and me. And I can't stay with my parents because that's obvious, plus they don't know I'm pregnant, and I can't stay with you or Rach because again it's obvious."

"You could stay with my grandmother. She lives like down the street from me, you know her, plus she's got the room. And it's not obvious."

"I don't know Pheebs, I'd feel like I was intruding on her life. What if I need helpin the middle of the night, she wouldn't be able to help me. I'll just find a cheap hotel or something."

"You can't be alone because they'd be no one to help you if you're in labour or need the bathroom and can't get up. What about Carol? She won't tell Ross if you tell her not to."

"But what about when Ross visits and sees me in their spare room?"

"You'll figure something out. Just give her a call." She handed Monica her cell phone.

Monica nervously dialled Carols number and waited for her to answer. "Hey Carol it's Monica.. I'm great how are you?.. Great, listen I was wondering if you'd be able to do me this huge favour.. Well me and Richard are arguing a lot and I need a place to stay, you know somewhere be wont think of looking.. I haven't told any of my family yet.. Really?.. Oh thank you so much, I'll pay rent and for my own food and everything.. No really it's fine.. Oh and can you not tell Ross? And make sure Ben doesn't tell.. It won't be for a while. I thought I'd give you some time to sort everything out.. I'll call you soon and let you know.. You too, bye."

"Done?"

"Yeah, everything is going to plan."
