I know the last chapter wasn't the best it could've been, maybe once I've written more of this fanfic then I will rewrite the chapter! I have been really busy but also thinking about the next part I want for this story. I've decided I'm going to start writing a couple of chapters in both Monica and Chandlers perspective here and there, so I can then describe what's going on easily. If I'm going to write for POV'S I will write it as a subtitle, if there isn't one then it will be in third person and written in the same way that its started with. Sorry if that was confusing, you'll probably understand more in the next few chapters! Thank you for the reviews. I hope I haven't lost anyone on this story! I love you all!
Tables Turned – Chapter 10
Monica's POV
Me and Chandler are official. It's really happening. It just won't sink in no matter how many times I whisper it to the ceiling my brain won't let me believe it. Even the fact that right now I'm lying in his arms, that doesn't seem real. I turn over to face Chandler and I shuffle inbetween a lying and seated position, I look down at him and a warm feeling fills my body, that smile set on my face that's never left since he came home. His sandy brown hair is sticking out in all directions and he couldn't honestly look any hotter, or cuter. He's just a mix of both man and child, his inner child shown in his goofy smile and crazy ass hair, the man brought out in the small gestures that melt my insides. Just him pulling out my chair means so much to me, it's not very often you can find a man with those kinds of manners nowadays.
He's mine. Every little sarcastic comment, every loving smile, every kiss, it's mine. I honestly have never been this happy ever!
Loud cries pull me from my train of thoughts I glance at the monitor on the bedside table and slide out of Chandlers arms grabbing my robe hurrying off into my daughters' room.
I flick on her lamp and rush to her cot; Peytons arms and legs are flailing everywhere as she screams into the night her face turning redder with each wail.
"Mommy's here, Mommy's here. Shhh Shhh" I pull her against my chest and subconsciously swaying to soothe her. She starts to quieten down, so I retrieve a pacifier from the top drawer of her dresser and she starts to suck away, lulling herself to sleep again.
I settle myself into the rocking chair that's crammed into the corner of the room not quite ready to leave her just yet. I stare down at Peyton my heart actually aching with the amount of love I have for this baby girl. Her eyes slowly open revealing tiny pools of brilliant blue. Just like mine. My mind can't comprehend that out of the horrible relationship I had I got her.
All day everyday Peyton chooses to sleep and hardly ever wakes up at night either but right now she's choosing to be wide awake.
"Hi baby, mommy's sorry for what she brought you into at first. I'm sorry I was so upset and crying all the time. But I am happy now. It's that man in there that does it, he's amazing Pey you're going to love him when you're old enough to remember him. Hell you already love him." I carefully pull a thin blanket over our bodies hoping any time now Peyton will fall back asleep, the time I spent lying bed awake catching up with me as my eyes grow heavy.
"If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" I have no idea why this song is stuck In my head but I continue to whisper the lyrics as Peytons body goes limp again and small snores make their way to my ears.
I wait for 5 minutes to the point where I'm almost asleep myself still humming the song over and over again. I lower Peyton into her crib and stare down at her in complete awe that something this beautiful is mine.
I trudge back to my room stopping myself at the edge of the bed again wondering how this man Is mine.
"She okay" My head shot up at the quiet mumbling coming from beneath the quilt seconds later Chandlers head pops up his eyes shining through the darkness his dazzling smile lighting up the room.
"Yeah just fussy." I climb back in bed and face Chandler his face inches from mine, he props himself up on his elbow and strokes his thumb over my cheek his touch light, sending shivers through my body.
"I'm sorry I left you and made you so upset" He sighed deeply, guilt in his eyes. My heart pounds as I realise he must have heard what I said through the monitor.
"i-i-I'm" Im cut off by his finger over my lips.
"I never meant for that to happen I was just dealing with so much for the past 5 months that it all got too much, then arguing with my bestfriend pushed me over the edge" He avoids eye contact and I can tell he's keeping something but I'm not entirely sure it's best right now to ask, instead I shake my head and take his hand in mine locking our fingers together.
"Hey, listen I'm happy now and that's all that matters, but I will say I won't be able to deal with it again if you ever leave me for whatever reason" Something hits me and worry takes over my emotions. What if he leaves me and decides he doesn't want any of this.
"Anyone would be crazy to leave you beautiful." He smiles, and I feel myself immediately calm down. "I promise you now that I will never ever leave you or Peyton again. Whatever tries to drive me away I won't let it. Never"
My breath hitches as tears threaten my eyes. "Really?" I feel like I didn't hear what he said although I know it was all promises.
"Really." He nods confirming my question and I let out a breath of, relief, and pure happiness. Before I have the chance say anything else Chandlers lips crash into mine kissing me fiercely. My hand moves to his neck as I kiss back and pull him closer to me.
I will never really get used to his kisses, he's the best kisser I know that's for sure. I grin against his lips pecking them a couple more times before I wrap my arms across his chest, his immediately around my waist keeping me as close as possible. My head nestles into the crook of his neck as I sigh in bliss.
This has got to be what heaven feels like. I'm taken away by my dreams every now and then feeling light kisses pressed into my hair before Chandlers head falls back against the pillows and he too is taken into a deep sleep.
Chandlers POV
The light blaring through the window wakes me from deep sleep, I shift slightly and feel something in my arms. I smile stupidly when I remember where I am and who this brunette woman is. Monica. She's my girlfriend. Monica my girlfriend. How Is that possible? Maybe in the past I've been a commitment freak and been horrible in relationships, but this woman truly does make me happy and I can't wait to see where it goes.
I manoeuvre my arm from under my pillow and push back some hair from Monica's face, I feel butterflies when I look at this girl. She is the most beautiful woman I've ever, yes, I thought she was beautiful as her friend, but I get to see her when she wakes up in a morning. I have to say she possibly looks better now than she will in a few hours when she's awake, and she always looks Phenomenal even in sweats. How could someone like her actually want to be with someone like me when she could have whoever she wants? I guess I'm just a lucky guy!
Snuffling sounds bring me back out of my daze, my smile grows impossibly wider when I look over at the baby monitor and see a grinning baby looking up at the ceiling. Making sure not to wake Monica I slip out of bed and go into the next room.
"Hi baby girl" I've noticed my voice suddenly changes when I'm talking to Peyton but in all fairness, I couldn't care less, seeing that big grin on her face is worth It. She is just a little over a month old but I'm starting to find out who she really is. Not to mention she is her mothers double so she'll be breaking many hearts for sure in the future.
I bring her close to my chest her head in the crook of my neck, again just like her mother. I close her door and check the time, it's almost 8, no doubt Monica will wake up soon so I might as well make coffee for us both.
Carrying Peyton with one arm I carry a cup through to Monica, she's still fast asleep, I bring mine after and climb onto the bed careful not to hurt the baby.
Monica's eyes flutter open as she stares up into mine, her grin widens at the sight of her daughter as she sits up against the headboard. I pass her Peyton kissing her forehead, Monica does the same before leaning against my shoulder, and giving out a sigh letting herself totally relax. My arm drapes over her shoulder almost automatically, she shifts to the side to look up at me again.
"How did I get lucky with you?" Her voice came out in almost a whisper, I can't help the warmth that spreads through my body.
"I was thinking the same thing to be honest" I admit kissing her temple. I hear a small giggle as she shakes her head in protest.
"I'm the lucky one, we've been kind of together almost a month and it's definitely the happiest I've ever been plus you're just amazing with this little one. Isn't he?" She cooes at Peyton. "Anyways good morning"
Next thing I know she's kissing me, I kiss her back and pull away when breathing is priority. "Good Morning indeed" I answer my lips millimetres from hers. She closes the gap before I move again. I could kiss this woman all the time, it just feels so damn good!
I would've never really thought about it before when we were just friends, but I know now that I couldn't go back to not kissing her, it's a struggle through the days she's at work or when we are with everyone else.
I pull away from Monica my eyes widening, she raises her eyebrows disapprovingly, her eyes darting for my lips to my eyes once or twice.
"The others!" I eventually gasp. She again furrows her eyebrow questioningly. "What are we going to do about the others, I mean Ross will kill me!"
Monica shakes her head at me, her hand coming up at caressing my cheek slowly, I melt against her hand and meet her eyes again. I can't help but think about how utterly beautiful and amazing this woman is!
"You said yesterday I could show you off, but if you want to wait a couple more days, weeks whatever I'll do it. Don't worry about Ross quite frankly I couldn't care less what he has to say or think, I'm a grown woman I can do what I want. As long as I get to keep you that's all that matters." She kisses me again quickly and moves back to look into my eyes, I'm pretty sure I could cry from the happiness she gives me right now.
"Thank you" I whisper, I'm almost certain three different words could have escaped me there but, I know for a fact I would just freak myself out more than Monica. "Monica Geller, My girlfriend. I like the sound of that, might have to make it stick for a while." I smirk when her smile widens almost splitting her face in two.
"Chandler Bing, My boyfriend. Yeah, I think it's going to have to stay around. It better anyways" Her free arm wraps around my neck playing with the fine hair there, I shudder under her touch. I'm only repaid with a smile, the smile that turns my insides to liquid instantly.
As early on as this relationship is I can tell it's going somewhere good, and I am for once really okay with that. I wouldn't have it any other way. So I hug them closer and kiss my girlfriend with everything I have
