When Chandler got to Monica's the next morning, he saw everyone was there eating breakfast.
"Hey, you guys sort things out?" Ross asked, surprised to see him there.
"Yeah, Monica came over to mine last night and we talked." Chandler nodded, glancing at Monica who was avoiding looking at him.
"Well, it's great you guys has made up." Rachel smiled.
"Yeah, it is." Chandler sighed, giving up on making eye contact with Monica. "Where are the twins?"
"Upstairs playing with Emma," Monica answered, still not turning to look at him.
"Okay, I'll go up and say hi then." He sighed again when he still got no response.
"Are you sure you guys sorted things out?" Ross asked, Monica watching as Chandler headed upstairs.
"Yes, of course," she replied moving to the table and started clearing the table.
"It seems like there's still some tension between you two," he continued.
"Well, there isn't," she insisted. "Aren't you going to be late for work?"
"Okay, I get the hint." He held up his hand in defence. "Are you sure you don't mind looking after Emma for the day."
"No, it'll be fun, I was going to take the twins to the park anyway."
"Well, okay I'll see you later then." He stood up, kissing her cheek. "Coming Rach?"
"Yeah, sure." She nodded standing up. "Bye Mon."
Chandler came down the stairs 15 minutes later and found Monica alone in the kitchen.
"Hey, where'd everyone go?"
"Work," she replied.
"Oh right." He nodded sitting down. "We need to talk about last night."
"What about it?"
"Mon, you left in the middle of the night without saying goodbye."
"I had to get back for the twins," she explained. "I didn't want to wake you."
He stood up and walked up behind her, placing his hands on her shoulder and turning her to face him.
"Monica." He said, but she still didn't look at him so he placed his fingers under her chin and lifting her face. "Do you regret last night?"
"I don't know," She whispered, looking into his eyes.
He hesitated slightly before slowly and softly pressing his lips against hers. When she didn't push him away and instead kissed back, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.
"Chandler, wait…" She moved out of his arms and crossed the room away from him.
"What?"
"We can't.."
He sighed. "Why not? What's going on?"
"I don't know," she exclaimed. "I don't know what to think or do."
"And that's why you left last night?"
"Chandler, I'm sorry I'm just really confused," she told him. "When we got married, divorce was so far from my mind… I didn't even think the word applied to us."
"Mon." He walked towards her.
"It was so hard getting over you, Chandler…so damn hard. I can't do that again." She interrupted him.
"And you actually got over me?" He asked. "Because last night, you didn't act like it."
"Chandler, I'm always going to love you, you'll always going to be a big part of my life." She told him. "But when you moved out, I use to cry myself to sleep, I was that lonely…but now I've started being able to cope with going to sleep and waking up on my own."
"But you don't have to," he insisted.
"Our marriage falling apart nearly destroyed me last time, I can't do it again."
"Who said it would happen again?"
"Who said it wouldn't?" She countered. "Be honest, since the divorce we both have changed, it might not work the same as before."
"Mon…" He sighed, not knowing what he could say.
"Last night was amazing," she said softly. "But I don't want to get hurt again…I don't want to hurt you anymore."
"So, that's it?" He asked. "It's completely over between us?"
"I don't know, Chandler…" She told him. "All I know is that right now, I don't think I'm ready."
He sighed. "Okay, I guess if that's how you feel."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it's okay." He smiled slightly. "You're probably right."
"So we can go back to how things were?"
"Yeah, of course." He nodded.
"Mom!" Jack came running in. "When are we going to the park?"
"Soon, why don't you get your sister and cousin and get ready." She told him.
"Okay." He grinned and ran back out of the room.
"You going to come with us?" She asked him.
"I don't know…"
"Please, come on…the twins will love it."
He smiled slightly. "Yeah, okay."
"Great, you can buy us all lunch." She teased.
"Oh, so now I know the real reason why you want me to come."
"Yeah, now go help the kids get ready while I finish up here."
"Okay, fine…" He replied, walking towards the stairs, turning back to smile at her.

2 months had past and everything had been great between Chandler and Monica. They had put everything behind them and carried on like before except they spent more time together and seemed to be closer, more affectionate and playful with each other.
"Your it!" Jack hit Chandler's arm as he, Erica and Emma ran away from him, one afternoon when Monica and him took them the park.
"Okay, that's it…." Chandler threatened teasingly, chasing after them causing Monica to laugh watching them.
Chandler followed Erica, who ran over by a tree but he didn't see a low branch and ran right into it, smacking his head and falling to the floor.
"Oh crap." He rubbed his head, looking up at the twins and Emma stood around him, laughing.
"What happened?" Monica asked walking over.
"Daddy ran into the tree." Erica said.
"Then he said a bad word." Jack added.
"Chandler!" Monica scolded.
"I'm fine by the way." He told her, sarcastically standing up.
"Here, let me have a look." She said, pulling his hand away. "Wow, you're going to have a bruise there."
"Thanks, Mon." He rubbed his head again.
"Come on, lets get back home before Daddy injuries himself again." She teased.
"Oh ha ha." He replied, following them as they walked out of the park.

The next day Monica sat in the doctors office waiting to hear about her tests results. She hadn't been feeling to good lately.
"Well, Mrs Bing I have your results here…" The doctor said, walking into the room.
She was about to correct him, telling her name was Miss Geller again but he continued before had chance too.
"You're 2 months pregnant."
"What?" She asked shocked.
"You're pregnant." He repeated. "And I know that might be a shock given your history."
"But…but I can't be." She stuttered.
"I can assure you, you are." He replied. "I'd like you to have a scan straight away to make sure the baby is okay since last time you had a miscarriage."
"Uh, okay…" She said, stunned.
"Mrs Bing, are you okay…what you like me to phone your husband?"
"No…were…were divorced."
"Oh, I'm sorry…"
"We broke up because of the miscarriage…and we only started trying for a baby because my brother and friend had a bonus night and she got pregnant…" She rambled, not sure why she was telling him this. "Ironically, Chandler and I had a bonus night and now I'm pregnant."
"Uh, right…are…are you sure there's no one you want me to call?" He asked.
"What?" She asked, her thoughts broken. "No, I'm sorry…I'll be okay."

"Hey, Joe…thanks for coming over." Chandler opening his apartment door to him.
"No problem, are you okay?" He asked.
"I just don't feel to good." He replied, rubbing his tired eyes.
"Maybe you should see a doctor."
"Nah, I'm just over tired, all be okay once I've had a good night sleep."
"Okay, if your sure."
"Yeah, I just need you to watch the twins for me until Mon comes and picks them up."
"Okay, no problem but where is she?"
"I don't know, she said she had something to do." He explained. "The twins are watching a DVD so you shouldn't have any trouble."
"Okay, great." He replied. "You just go to bed and get some rest."
"Thanks, man." He patted his shoulder. "I'm just going to take some aspirin first."
"Okay." Joey nodded before going in and joining the twins.
Chandler walked into the kitchen. His head was really pounding, he suddenly had to grip onto the counter as the room spun. He squeezed his eyes shut tightly, hoping it would pass. He opened his eyes slightly and stumbled towards the sink but he didn't make it. His leg went weak and he fell forwards, knocking some plates of the side causing them to smash onto the floor just as everything went black and he hit the floor too.
