DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING.

AN: HEY I AM BACK, TIME TO SEE WHAT THE LETTER CONTAINS.

Chandler leaned against the wall in the stairway like it was a safety barrier. He slowly opened the yellow envelop, which contained a letter signed by the Colonel. Chandler read it closely, every word had a new meaning to him in that moment.

Dear Chandler,

How are things going for you? Better I hope.

Chandler about a week ago, your release was finalized, but when that happens the general has to approve. Well he didn't, we need to back for at least two months. I am so sorry Chandler. Call me for more information. 620-548-8897

Colonel James.

We need you back. Those words lingered in Chandler's mind. He quickly ran up to his apartment with tears that were threatening to fall. He quickly walked into his apartment and when he saw Monica reading a magazine sitting on the couch, that's when the tears fell. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" Monica asked as she looked at him from the couch, and when he walked over to her she softly stroked his arm. He didn't say a word he just handed her the letter. As she read it tears pooled in her eyes. "I thought they finalized your release." Monica said.

"The general denied it." Chandler said quietly.

"I know you don't want to hear this, but you need to call." Monica said. Chandler nodded slightly and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" The Colonel asked.

"Sir this is Chandler Bing." Chandler said in reply with an unenthusiastic.

"Ah! My favorite private! So how have you been?" The Colonel asked.

"Well my fiancé is six months pregnant with twins. So this is really not the best timing." Chandler sighed.

"Chandler I am sorry, but this is not up to me." The Colonel said sympathetically.

"So when do want me there?" Chandler asked as he pulled Monica close to him. He squeezed his eyes shut hoping the answer would be never, but knowing it wouldn't.

"We need you here by next Wednesday. I am so sorry Chandler." The Colonel said.

"Ok, I'll see you then I guess." Chandler said and hung up. Chandler put the phone back in its cradle, and slowly walked out of the apartment and bolted to the roof. Once he made it to the roof he fell to his knees. He cried for about thirty minutes before he pulled himself into a folding chair that was on the roof. He sat for about fifteen minutes before the door slowly creaked open. "Mon I am not ready to talk yet." He said in instinct.

"What makes you so sure its Monica?" Dominic's voice said behind Chandler.

"Dominic what are you doing here?" Chandler asked never moving a muscle.

"Jessica and I decided to move to New York, she just had the baby, that's why I'm here." Dominic said and pulled up a chair to sit next to Chandler. "The Colonel told me." Dominic stated.

"I don't get it, I just got engaged today, I just found out that were having twins today. It's not fair." Chandler said sadly.

"Chandler, life's not fair. Neither of us wanted to be in the army. We just need to accept the fact that that's what life chose for us." Dominic said and looked out into the city.

"I guess I'll see you next week then?" Chandler said.

"Ya, I'll see you." Dominic said and patted his back and then left.

The next day the friends were sitting in the coffee house and Chandler zoned out. He wasn't listening to the conversation going on around him because he was preoccupied. Monica glanced over at her fiancé, that nobody knew about, and noticed a silent tear roll down his cheek. Monica reached over and brushed it away. He glanced at her slightly but didn't move.

"Chandler your aura is misty today what's going on?" Phoebe asked.

Chandler sighed before he began. "I have to go back." Chandler said barely above a whisper. His eyes were on the ground but he could feel that sadness pass among his friends.

Rachel's hand flew to her mouth and fell into Ross' embrace next to him on the orange couch. Joey didn't know what to say he just sat in his chair in silence. Phoebe was holding back tears, but everybody was. Monica placed a hand on her stomach as the babies were kicking her nonstop, they didn't want their Daddy to leave.

"I thought they finalized your release." Ross said.

"So did I, but the general denied it." Chandler whispered.

"So when are you leaving?" Joey asked.

"Next Wednesday." Chandler replied.

"How long?" Rachel asked.

"Two months." Chandler said and another tear rolled down his cheek.

"But what if Monica goes into labor?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know I will figure that out when it comes time." Chandler said. Chandler glanced at Monica who had her hand draped over her stomach, and that's when it hit him. He broke down, tears rolled down his cheeks like a waterfall. He placed his elbow on his knee, and his hand over his eyes and cried. Monica was hopeless, she didn't know if he would come home this time. Not knowing what to do, so she softly stroked his back.

The six friends sat in the terminal waiting for the boarding call. Chandler sat in his chair, silent tears rolling down his cheeks, and stared at his feet. Then that dreadful moment came when the boarding call was announced. Chandler stood up on shaky legs and faced his friends who had already risen to their feet. "Chandler," Monica said and walked up to him. "I love you." Monica said and kissed him.

"You keep my babies safe, you hear." Chandler said.

"I promise." Monica said. As Chandler was walking towards the gate His four friends chorused:

"We love you."

Sometimes we can't walk,

Sometimes we can't talk,

Sometimes we lock the lock,

And sometimes we do all three.
