Daniel fell asleep in Monica's lap. Chandler approached both their parents and their friends to say thank you and to let them know they are calling it a night. He then carried Daniel in one arm and took Monica's hand with his. As they exit the hall, Monica was waving goodbye and mouthing thank yous and good nights to their guests.

Monica pushed the elevator button open, her other hand still entwined with his. She noticed their reflection on the elevator door. She in her white dress and he in his tux, with their Daniel. The picture is so perfect. She's not even thinking where they are heading, she just knows that she trusts the man holding her hand right now and that she will go with him wherever he leads her.


Standing before the door of their suite,

Oh my God, honey. Chandler said.

This is supposed to be the time I open the door and carry you into the room. But…

It's okay, honey, you don't have to carry me. Monica assures him.

No, it's not… Okay, here's an idea. You open the door, I'll put Daniel in his room then I'll come back and carry you.


Chandler immediately places Daniel on the bed in the adjoining room and runs back to the corridor where his wife is waiting.

Mrs. Bing, shall we? Monica wraps her arms around his neck as he carries her into the room and onto the bed. I must say, this is my most favorite look on you. Monica says, her lips reaching for his.

Hmmm. Chandler kisses back. I know… It was hard to kiss having Santa's beard, and that fireman gear was really hot and heavy! He says smiling at her.

So Mr. Bing, you think you still have the energy to make love to your wife? Monica teasing Chandler.

Of course! I waited for this moment. As they kiss, they heard Daniel cry.

Oooh, what perfect timing your son has! Chandler says.

I know! He takes it after his dad! Chandler makes a face.

Let me get him. He needs my breast.

No, he doesn't need it now… We got formula! … And you, you just stay here… Chandler kisses her before running to Daniel and tries to get him to sleep.


Monica thought of slipping into a more comfortable clothing but she couldn't get out of her wedding dress without someone helping her.

Still in her wedding dress she lies on the bed looking at her hand with the wedding ring on it. We made it! She tells herself. No near 'calling it all off,' 'no second thoughts' whatsoever just a mix of jitters, excitement, hope, faith for the future, THEIR future as husband and wife.

Her thoughts got interrupted hearing Chandler having a hard time getting Daniel to sleep. Hon, you need my help? She asks.

Ah, it's okay, honey, I can do this. But Daniel cries even louder when he heard his mother's voice and was calling out for her that Chandler had no other choice but to bring Daniel to Monica.

Oooh, what's the matter, Daniel?

Mommy! He cries his arms stretching towards Monica.

Oh, come here. You miss mommy? Daniel reaches out for his mother's breast. He is already used to having milk from his bottle but every once in a while he still wants to be breastfed.


After a few minutes, Daniel fell asleep. Monica brings Daniel to his bed in the adjoining room. She fixes herself a little before going back to the other room where Chandler is waiting but she finds no Chandler on the bed. She sees him by the balcony looking at the vast city view at night.

Monica hugs him from behind that startled Chandler. Hmmm, what are you thinking?

He turns his head to look at her holding her hands that are on his chest.

That it's already midnight and we're still fully clothed. Chandler then turns around to hug her back.

Oh, I'm sorry. Monica playing with the buttons of his tux. But is it okay if we don't do it tonight?

Of course, it's okay.

Really? It's okay not to have our first sex as husband and wife on the night of our wedding? Monica looks up to him with a crinkle on her nose.

Look, I know you're really tired. We're practically up almost the whole day, but…

But?

We are so gonna make up for it tomorrow. Chandler raises his eyebrows and kisses her.

Hey, you gotta help me get out of my dress.

They both sit on the side of the bed. Monica gathers her hair to one side of her shoulder revealing the numerous buttons on her dress which he starts to unbutton one by one.

Seeing Monica's bare back made Chandler forget about feeling tired. Right that moment, all he is thinking about is how sexy his wife is. He starts kissing her nape down to her shoulders. He is waiting for Monica to stop him but she just turns her head to look at him smiling.


Now naked and spooning under the sheets, Wow, so this is what married sex feels like. Chandler whispers to her.

Hmmm, I know. Chandler's hand still busy roaming his wife's breasts, his fingers playing with her nipples.

Monica just smiles and lets him do that knowing how much he misses doing that.


The Morning After

Monica and Chandler woke up almost at the same time but neither wants to get out of bed yet. Both still savoring what happened in the last 24 hours. Both happy to be waking up for the first time next to each other as husband and wife.

Suddenly Monica felt ridiculous recalling the time she worried about not being able to experience first kisses and the excitement of a new relationship and wonders whether Chandler really needs some kind of sportsdrink.

Your son is up. Monica quickly rose from the bed heading straight to the cabinet where the hotel robes are.

Wow! Chandler's eyes grew wide seeing his wife naked like that.

Monica turned her head to him hearing him say that and makes a face before finally wearing a robe. She then throws Chandler a pair of his pajama pants - Honey, wear this. I'm bringing Daniel here.

Alright. He says.


Chandler orders room service for the three of them. He thought they can use the remaining hours before checkout to just enjoy being alone as a family.

Monica brings Daniel out from the bathroom. She has just given him a bath and it is now Chandler's turn to dress him up. The two of them have such good teamwork that they have managed to have a system where Daniel is never left alone especially when he is awake.

Daniel sits on Monica's lap as they are having their breakfast and that view always manages to make Chandler smile.

What? Monica asks.

Nothing.

No, what is it?

Nothing, I just like this. And Monica knew what he meant.

Oh, by the way, I don't know if your mom and dad told you yesterday about their gift?

What gift?

Oh, so you don't know yet?

No. What is it?

Well, they gave us two tickets to London!

London? Wow, I'd love to go back to London… Oh, but you know we can't. I mean, we've talked about it.

Yeah, I told them that but they insist that we go and volunteered to babysit while we're away.

I can't believe my parents would volunteer to do that for us! … Wow, they must really like you!

I told yah! … I can be charming.

Yeah, you are! …Just like this little guy, right Daniel?

Yes, mommy. Daniel says putting up his hand to Chandler for a high five.

Wow, did you teach your son that?

Yeah…. pretty cool, huh? Chandler and Daniel look at each other smiling before they both look at Monica who gives both of them a kiss.
