Monica opens her eyes to the sound of the television still on in the wee hours of the morning. She realizes that she and Chandler have dozed off at the couch compressed. How Chandler managed to stay on the couch without falling puts a grin on her face.

Monica took the remote which Chandler was still holding loosely in his hand and put off the tv. He looks up at Chandler. He looks so cute even in his sleep. Monica places her arm around him and she felt Chandler's arms tighten around her, too. She can just stay right there in that position with him forever.

Living with Chandler is turning out to be one of the best decisions she's ever made in her life. She never expected to fall in love with her best friend but every bit of experience they have gone through since the beginning have been filled with challenges and excitement. She is surprised how well they handle their differences. She discovers things about herself that she never thought she could do for someone.

And now, here in probably one of the most challenging points in their relationship, Chandler is nothing short of wonderful, amazing, thoughtful boyfriend any woman could ever ask for.

Monica's daydreaming was cut short by Chandler's soft snores. Monica carefully escapes from Chandler's embrace and rose from the couch for a quick trip to the bathroom. After a good number of minutes, Monica still finds Chandler on the couch asleep. She remembers just how tired he was from cleaning the whole apartment the day before. Monica took a pillow and a blanket from the bedroom. She carefully places the pillow under Chandler's head and covers him with a blanket. She watches him for a few seconds. She runs her fingers through his hair before placing a kiss on his forehead.


Monica was in the middle of preparing breakfast when their friends arrived one by one.

It was Joey who noticed Chandler. Oooh, look who's still asleep on the couch!

Everyone stood up and looked.

Did you have him sleep on the couch? Rachel teased.

No! No! I can never do that to him! And will you all please lower your voices. Monica replied.

So what happened? Ross asked.

Ross, Joey, remember he was busy cleaning the whole apartment yesterday?

Oh, yeah!

Well, we were watching tv and we both fell asleep on the couch. I don't wanna wake him up so please will you just let him have a good sleep?


Hey, Mon, what are you still doing? Why don't you sit here and have breakfast with us! Rachel suggested, which Ross and the rest seconded.

Oh, I'm just finishing up Chandler's breakfast. You know, he's really been so tired the past few weeks. He's really been taking good care of me and I figured I should pamper him today starting with his favorite breakfast!

Oh yeah! I don't think he slept at all when you where in the hospital, Mon. I've never seen Chandler worry like that! Phoebe said.


Good morning! It was Chandler's voice greeting them still lying on the couch.

Monica immediately went to him as four pairs of eyes followed her to the living room. How are you, honey? Still sleepy?

Not really.

So, I prepared you your favorite breakfast!

You know you didn't have to do that but thank you, honey!

So, why don't you take a shower. I've got your towel and your robe in there already.

Wow, thank you, honey!


Monica folded the blanket, took the pillow and put them back to the bedroom. She then went back to the couch to arrange the pillows before going back to the kitchen to chat with their friends.

How are you feeling now, Mon? You feeling any different? Rachel asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

Feeling better now, actually. Monica replies rubbing her tummy.

And the baby's getting bigger now, huh! Have you thought of a name yet? Hint Phoebe.

Phoebe! We don't even know yet if it's going to be a girl or a boy!

I bet it's going to be a girl! Ross said.

Really? Why? Monica asked curiously.

Well, you look even prettier now. I mean, you are radiating! Ross stands up and gives Monica a kiss on the head.

Wow, thanks, Ross! This is probably the first time I hear you say that!

What? I say that all the time! I've always said my sister is pretty!

Yeah, right! But thanks, Ross!

How's Chandler with the fatherhood thing? Rachel lowering her voice so as not to let Chandler hear.

Well, you've seen him. What do you think? Monica asked her back.

Well, I never thought I would see this day.

What do you mean?

I mean, we all thought he's going to be the last one to get married, I mean to get into a serious relationship. There was even a time he thought he was going to grow old alone. Remember that? I mean it's surprising to see him all excited about being a father.

So what happened there, Mon? You still owe us a story about how all these happened? Phoebe asked. Did you two plan the pregnancy or you just got careless there?

Chandler was out of the bathroom just outside its door when he heard Phoebe ask the question. He stopped for a while and was interested to find out what Monica would say.

Well, we probably got careless.

You know, you should've gotten careless with Richard so you can get pregnant with his baby.

For a brief moment Chandler froze. Richard has always made him feel insecure. He saw how devastated Monica was when they broke up and for that brief moment he wondered whether Monica would rather get careless with Richard so she could have his baby. The question pricked his heart.

Whhaaattt?! Chandler heard Monica's voice that sounded like she was in disbelief. I can't believe you would even suggest that, Phoebe! Chandler felt like Monica was really offended by the question.

To tell you all the truth, I will never get careless with anyone else but Chandler! Yes, I have always wanted kids but I have never pictured anyone else to have them with other than Chandler.

I'm so sorry, Monica. I didn't mean to offend you.

Phoebe approached Monica for a hug, which Monica gladly accepted.

Chandler straightened his robe before walking confidently to the bedroom.
